[One Piece] Almighty staff

After several rounds of cleaning, Sakaski basically took control of all the naval bases in the North Sea.It is said that the government army was repelled, and the local nobles were also in good shape. Sakaski could have taken a breath and started planning to consolidate the distribution of forces in the North Sea.But things didn't go as planned.

The situation was reversed, and this time it was Leah who was in a bad state.

Sakalsky kept watch all night, and it was near noon the next day that he went to the office under the repeated urging of the junior adjutant to deal with all the urgent business affairs that had piled up.

Before returning to his room, he calmly found a bathroom to wash and tidy up, clean up the blood stains left by the battle on his body, and change out of the tattered clothes he had when he turned into a beast.

The military doctor came out of the room for the fifth time and shook his head helplessly at him.Sakarski stopped making unnecessary attempts, he sent everyone away, and sat alone in front of the bed.

Leah wasn't the naturally petite type.When she was an adult, her stature was stable at 175cm, her flesh and bones were well balanced, tall and slender, her facial features were bright and outstanding, but her face was not skinny, and her soft cheeks made her usual smile gentle and non-aggressive.

Compared with Sakalski's burly figure of more than two meters tall, he is of course still petite, but he is not considered short among women.But now that Liya was lying on the bed, she could hardly see the raised curve of the quilt,

It was just one night, and she was losing weight at a weird speed. Sakalski's excellent observation ability saw that she seemed to be more haggard and pale every second than the last second, and the prepared nutrient solution seemed to have no effect on her body. .But Sakalski knew there was a sinister contest going on inside this fragile shell.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he could only silently wait for the outcome of this impossible game.

Sakaski has personally experienced this kind of crisis. With the strong physique and tenacious will of the admiral, he survived the most dangerous stage in the turbulent situation.Under his suppression, the cracking fruit ability was delayed for a week before it completely broke out, and was even countered by him in the later stage.

The crisis that can survive has never been taken seriously by him. What failed to destroy him was just the nourishment that made him stronger.This does not mean that he will ignore the pain he has experienced, it is his trust in his own strength that makes him confident.

But when this happened to Leah, and he had nothing to do, the sense of powerlessness of being shackled and suppressed came to him again.

After all, he was nothing more than that.

Liya's physique is not even as healthy as that of ordinary people, and the confrontation with the power of the devil fruit will undoubtedly seriously consume her vitality.Even Sakalski, after tenaciously going through the first few days to gain the precious time to settle down, still inevitably fell into a state of involuntary control, not to mention being as weak as a chicken Leah.

The optimal solution to cracking Devil Fruits is the ability solver. Cracking Fruit is special, but the best way to deal with it is to find a cracking method in the state.

Just like Sakalski's ability to suppress the fruit in order to stabilize the situation, it's like a general who killed an enemy in front of the battle and got an arrow in his arm. The correct treatment method is to pull out the arrow, not just stop the bleeding and let the arrow grow with the flesh.

It's just that Sakaski's situation is to stabilize the battle situation before drawing the arrow, so that he can draw the arrow and heal his wounds in peace of mind when he arrives at his own camp, so he persisted for a week.

What is Coria for?

For her stand at Iwan?

For her two small islands in the New World?

Sakalski's intuitive reasons are otherwise.

The ability to split the fruit can somewhat reveal some real things about the recruiter. Sakaski has experienced it himself, and he still clearly remembers that subtle feeling.

So - what is Leah hiding?

Staring at those pale lips, Sakaski's black eyes faintly glowed red again.

He reached out and touched her face: "so guard against me."

As if to confirm his words, the girl on the bed opened her eyes unexpectedly.

The hand was thick and hot, and it hurt her cheek a little.

The feeling of waking up was no better than a coma. She had a splitting headache and aches all over her body.Consciousness was still tearing apart, like a heavy hammer was pounding in her head.

The pain was unbearable, she hugged her knees and rolled herself up, and she looked like a delicate little one on the huge bed.

Sakalski was still touching her face, Leah avoided him in resistance, and made a small hoarse voice: "You go out——"

Sakaski withdrew his hand: "No."

Liya held her forehead and endured the pain for a long time, then opened a line of eyelids, and the watery light flashed faintly under the long eyelashes.She glanced at Sakaski with a calm face, and whispered, "Then I want Mao Mao."

Her voice was weak, but Sakaski could hear the coldness.

Leah's brain is clever, and of course she can see the fact that Sakasky counteracts the fruit.He has been playing tricks on her since the late Heisha stage.

Sakaski pursed his lips tightly, and the root of his tongue was slightly bitter.

If it was a day earlier, he could really try to transform back into a Mausa to coax her.However, Altist was defeated by him once again, achieving another wave of acceleration for the release of the cracked fruit state.

In other words, the "medicinal effect" of the cracked fruit is fading, and it cannot support the energy of transforming into a human.Heisa is fine, but if she changes it and shows her, I'm afraid she will get angry and get sicker.

"Feel sorry."

His eyes darkened slightly, and he added: "There will be no more Mao Mao."

Obviously still biased.

Liya didn't stay awake for a long time. She supported her body and barely adapted to the pain. She picked up the phone and had an emergency meeting with the people from the Ministry of Agriculture who stayed in Ivan. Afterwards, she immediately contacted the chief mate to come over to preside , put down the phone and fell down exhausted.

Unlike Sakalski, she does not have such a big business. The key is that her two-island system has a good ability to operate independently, and her confidantes are seasoned and mature enough. As long as they grasp the general direction, it is difficult to overturn.

After this collapse, she fell ill for another whole week.

In a daze, she felt that the doctor seemed to have changed several times, and the nutrient solution infusion tube had not been withdrawn, and the left hand with the needle tube was cold and cold.

Liya's nerves were always tense, struggling to prevent her consciousness from sinking completely.

When she was almost out of breath, Sakarsky held her left hand, which was bluish with cold.

This must have been the first time he touched her since she was unconscious again.Otherwise, Sakaski's hot palm would have woken her up long ago, just like now.

The snow season in Beihai has passed, and the temperature is getting warmer.During the few short days when Liya was in a coma, the people in Beihai changed their winter clothes. Only Sakaski knew that the soft palms and small hands were so cold that it made people panic.

After doing it himself on the edge of the cliff a few years ago, he has never been able to be ruthless.

It's ridiculous to think about it now. It's not so much that he wanted to get rid of the weakness of this unstable factor at that time. It's better to say that he has no silver 300 taels here to prove it to his ridiculous sense of crisis...or ridiculous The cowardly self proves that he can eradicate his weaknesses at any time.

What a ridiculous and cowardly reason.

Not to mention doing it himself, just watching her coldly these days and letting her fend for herself, he can't do it.

He felt that he vaguely knew what to do.

The high heat on her hands touched Liya's chaotic consciousness, and she slowly regained some consciousness.

The nutrient solution can't be eaten as a meal, it's just the basics needed to maintain life, and she is extremely thin at this time.

"Lily." Sakasky is not an awkward person, his emotions are indifferent and rare, and it is impossible for him to fully confess.

It is quite a rare experience for him to be difficult to say, but he has to say it when it is difficult to say it. Leah's battery life is limited, and he can't afford to gamble: "...Trust me."

He lasted a week.

And Leah, the fragile Leah, was one day longer than him.

The admiral's cheeks tightened, and he spit out a few words uncomfortably: "Trust me once."

Leah's tired eyes moved slightly.

Sakaski completely wrapped her hands, and his dark eyes met hers: "I promise you, I will never hurt even a single hair of yours."

What can he do.

He can only bow his head.

"Lily, don't be afraid."

The string that Leah was holding tightly to, broke slightly.

It turned out that she was afraid.

In fact, she didn't deliberately fight against the terrifying energy of the devil fruit with her own strength, she just subconsciously guarded her heart, just like any other moment in the past.

Sticking to her wish that she had never expressed since the first day she came to this world.

The long, golden-brown hair faded away from the dry dullness, and gradually revealed a black luster, the contours of the thin face softened, and the healthy light blush on the cheeks returned, showing a completely different appearance.

It felt amazing, like shedding a thick layer of skin, Leah felt a renewed sense of lightness from body to heart.

She seems to have been stripped of the emotions that belonged to "Leah" after she came to this world. Those memories were randomly packaged and put aside properly. If you don't search for them, there will be no sense of existence, and she has become a Alien bystander.

The woman with loose black hair opened her eyes, with a pair of black pupils under the soft eyelashes.

"what."

The petite, but more mature Liya stretched her curled limbs, buried half of her face lazily into the pillow, and honestly expressed her heart: "I'm so tired. I want to go home."

Sakalski slowly opened his eyes.

------

The third largest port in Beihai, five or six large aristocratic cruise ships domineeringly occupy the best docking position. The luxuriously dressed aristocratic lords and ladies hurried over in carriages. They didn't have to get out of the carriages. On board the cruise ship.

On the other side of the boat ladder, which was obviously simpler, the dock laborers, under the supervision of the noble servants who looked like stewards, carried the tightly packed luggage and belongings of the nobles to the ship.The local aristocrats have rich assets, and the moving team is like moving ants, forming a long line.

Across the half of the pier square, outside the crowd, the blond man with flamboyant hair crossed his legs, his sharp eyes glancing across several conspicuous large ships one by one.

His long arms were spread wide on the backrest, the whole person was sunken in a thick feather coat, he folded his elbows, took the lollipop from his mouth, and asked with great interest: "Hey, Corazon. What do you think? Which one is better to get first?"

The man sitting on the other side of the bench raised his eyelids, carefully looked at and compared them several times, and pointed to the cruise ship in the middle.

"Fufurfurfurofurfur——" Doflamingo laughed, and rubbed his brother's head with his hand: "Coincidentally, I also think which one is the best."

The cruise ship that occupies the best position is, of course, the biggest and most gorgeous one.

The outcome of the battle between the navy and the world government in the North Sea has already come to an initial conclusion, and the great nobles who are biased towards the government and do not deal with Great Ivan have all started to pack up their things and run away——

It is normal for a nobleman to have a rich family and own real estate in the New World.Instead of staying here and not knowing when the navy or the big Ivan will find an excuse to raid the house, it is better to go out to avoid the limelight, and come back after a few years when the situation is favorable to them.

The situation in the North Sea has been initially determined, and only the navy has gained the first-hand right to develop forces in the North Sea.With the tacit cooperation with the Great Ivan, it is not a problem for the navy to gain a firm foothold in the North Sea. It is already difficult for the government to bypass Marin Fando and enter the North Sea.

But it's just a foothold. How long the navy can stay in the North Sea and whether it can spread out remains to be tested.It is still far from completely rectifying Beihai.The aristocratic class is in turmoil in a short period of time, and General Hezhong will not compete with Sakalski's faction. Instead, he will assist him in a low-key manner due to his limited position.

So as long as they avoid the sphere of influence of the navy, the Don Quixote family can operate in the North Sea with ease.

Both the navy and the government are Doflamingo's thorns, especially the navy. The United Great Ivan overthrew his old background and caused him to lose his base camp. He remembers this account clearly in his heart.

It's just that according to the order, before that, the aristocrats wanted to take his top bag and fuel the government's face, which made him even more disgusted.

When it comes to conspiracies and tricks to play with people's hearts, he is also a good player. He didn't expect that if he was careless, he would be pecked by wild geese all day long. This made him very angry.In addition, persimmons are of course picky, so he decided to attack these fat nobles first.

The red dog and Ivan the Great made great efforts to clean up the slave trade organization, and wiped out the relevant masterminds. However, Beihai has not been in harmony for so many years. The powerful and powerful nobles have their own reliance. The navy and the Great Ivan are inevitable. Leaving out a few powerful ones.

The government forces have been repulsed, and Sakaski, who wants to start a business in the North Sea, will not think too much money. If he doesn't hurry up, these fat fish will get into the dog's stomach sooner or later.

Rossindi didn't think much of it.These aristocrats who are going to run to the new world to continue to be happy and domineering are not good things. He just chose the most arrogant family.

The noble gentlemen must maintain a calm posture, and the servants below must grasp the speed.Wanting to set sail according to the time required by the owner, the people below can only keep urging the laborers to move the goods.

The servants of the house in the middle were also yelling and urging, but the servants in the middle were particularly domineering. If they were dissatisfied, they would beat them with sticks and randomly kick the laborers who were struggling to move forward with heavy loads. Brother asked him, and he chose this one.

As Leah said, the wicked have their own grind.

Doflamingo bit the candy into pieces and said with a smile, "You heard me, Peek."

Senior Pique, who had just returned, stood behind the two with a cold expression: "Yes, young master."

There are many forces nearby, and it is impossible for them to be blatant in this situation. They have to wait for the cruise ship to set sail and attack at night after dark.

Pique was in charge of notifying the cadres lurking in other places, and Doflamingo led Rosindi into the crowd swaggeringly.

After the chaos in Beihai, there were everyone, and the two of them were not very conspicuous walking on the street.

"Tsk, I'm hungry." Doflamingo looked left and right, and walked towards a street where the port taverns gathered: "Go and eat something."

Rossindi obediently followed behind him.As the two brothers walked, they drifted away unknowingly.

At the entrance of another street, Doflamingo grabbed his stupid brother by the back collar, with an unfriendly expression on his face: "Can I get lost at such a big age?"

Rossindi looked at him innocently, and pointed to a busy storefront.At the same time, a familiar scent wafted over, evoking Doflamingo's memory.

It's a...deli called The Deli.Various marinated products are sold inside, as well as sauces and sauces that can be stored at room temperature for several months.There is a large movable stove with a fresh shape at the door, and there are three large pots embedded in it, all of which are gurgling and cooking a thick marinade. In the pots, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, marinated eggs and bean products are cooked respectively. It is a garbage island. Sindhi cooks his food.

Doflamingo raised his eyebrows clearly when he heard his stupid brother swallowing.

"Want to eat this?"

Rossindi nodded like a pounding garlic.

During this period of time, I was doing things with Doflamingo, and the standard of food was extremely unstable. Occasionally, I had a good meal, but I also ate Western food and seafood dishes that Doflamingo preferred.

Of course the big lobster is also delicious, but Rossindi’s stomach followed Leah in the early years, and he likes to eat steaming, fried, fried, soupy meals from time to time, otherwise he always feels that the whole person is not right.

Doflamingo had a good experience with these foods, but he was upset by the number of people in the store and wanted to clear the place.

Luo Xindi took out the deli VVVIP VIP card in a flash, and was enthusiastically ushered into the box on the second floor by the clerk, who stopped his brother's atrocities in time.

Doflamingo's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses, "Where did you get the VIP card?"

The clerk who served the food was honest and honest, and answered the conversation without changing his face: "Haha, it's hard to get the VIP card of our store. There are currently less than 10 VVVIP customers from all over the world including New World. High-spending customers draw limited cards, so lucky!"

Rosindy nodded restrainedly, and cooperated with the clerk's performance.

Doflamingo stared at the clerk with great interest: "Less than 10? What if I want it too?"

The clerk, who is also the main store manager of this store, and the team leader who works under the deputy of the two islands played steadily, and said with a happy face: "Isn't this a coincidence, our store will have a store celebration next week, and the consumption amount will reach a certain amount. The guests who participate in the event will have the opportunity to get the next level of VVIP VIP card, which is the only card in this gentleman's hand."

Even if there is no next week's store celebration, he will organize an event like gratitude feedback, spring specials, and seize every opportunity to catch the big fish in front of him—the members of the two islands they stationed in the North Sea know, Don Quixote · Doflamingo is one of the island owner's confidantes!

Doflamingo pointed to Rossindi: "I want to be like him."

The clerk showed hesitation: "This...our store has no authority to give away this card..."

Nonsense, this card is a special custom card for the island owner, there is no second card at all.

Seeing that the evil star in front of him had a bad expression, the clerk racked his brains and added: "However, if this gentleman is willing, the VVVIP card has one and only one shared authority quota, we can apply for a secondary card from the headquarters, and it will be delivered as soon as next week .only……"

The clerk showed a simple and honest smile: "To activate the supplementary card, the customer needs to spend a lot."

Rossindi had no disturbance on his face, but was at a loss in his heart.

He couldn't match the brainwaves of the clerk, let alone collude words secretly, so he could only cooperate with the clerk's performance without thinking.

The clerk smiled enthusiastically at Rossindi: "What do you think?"

Rossinanti has no lines, and fortunately he is a mute character, so he simply took out his VIP card to put an end to this performance.

The clerk accepted the card: "Okay, we will apply for a secondary card to the headquarters immediately, and this card will also be sent to the headquarters for filing and association. Please come and pick it up next week~"

This is a lie, what they need to do is to rush to make a new VVVIP VIP card as a secondary card, and then notify the two islands and each branch to deal with the card replacement.

If you think about it with your toes, it is impossible for Don Quixote Doflamingo to get the "secondary card" with a subsidiary meaning.

Of course, just in case they would prepare a few extra cards, no matter how the two brothers allocated them, they would ensure that they could quietly exchange the main card for Rossindi afterwards.

The role of the island owner card is more than that, and it is impossible to give it away.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and while Rocinandi breathed a sigh of relief, he was inevitably worried.

Doflamingo's attitude towards him changed.

Seeing his brother's attitude of eating casually, Rosindi restrained his emotions, lowered his head and ate his food quietly.So he missed Doflamingo's warm gaze.

Since the garbage island was first found by Luo Xindi, his discipline on this stupid boy has become tighter and tighter.

Rosie's brain is not as good as Leah and Doflamingo's, and he can't figure out why his brother's attitude has changed so quickly.So every day I became more trembling, the intelligence collection was suspended, and I didn't dare to communicate with other cadres. I followed Doflamingo obediently, trying to dispel his suspicions as soon as possible.

However, in Doflamingo's view, the other party is getting closer to the social fear, introversion and clingy personality when he was a child.

The younger brother doesn't talk to anyone, not even Luo, who used to like to bully, he is no longer interested. He is the only brother in his eyes. This recognition awakens a little warmth left in his heart. On the surface, he dislikes it, but in his heart it is very useful.Doflamingo didn't mind that Rossindi acted out of touch with his family members. If the stupid brother only got close to him and trusted him, and was completely controlled by him, it was not impossible for him to consider treating him differently.

After all, in his blueprint for greatness, there are some things that only Rossindi, who has the same blood, is qualified to share with him.

The two had different thoughts, but they became closer and closer in behavior. Except Luo knew it well, the other cadres didn't find anything wrong, at least they couldn't think of the navy at all.

And Luo has another trouble.

Not long ago, when the Don Quixote family returned to the field of contention for power in the North Sea, and traveled to various islands and ports, from time to time, unknown guys who came out of deli or food stores would secretly feed him snacks and... medicines.

He immediately thought of Corazon's beautiful friend.

Snacks are fine, hiding medicine is a big trouble for him.

He has studied it carefully, and has given him medicines four times. The medicines are different each time. To put it simply, each time is an "upgraded version". It is more and more effective for the symptoms of his platinum-lead disease. good.

The cooperation between Liya and Ella Coco is carried out in private. No matter how smart Luo is, he will not know that these medicines were developed locally in Beihai and delivered to him accurately through the contacts of the Navy + local nobles + Revolutionary Army. of.Medication and disposal of residual packaging, covering up the improvement of his condition, and suppressing the huge psychological shock brought to him by effective treatment are enough for him to have no time for him.

Therefore, the "honeymoon period" of the Don Quixote brothers continued without hindrance.

Marshal of the Warring States Period was worried about the sudden decrease in contact with Rossindi; Lieutenant General He had been following Doflamingo for many years, and he took a wait-and-see attitude towards the new situation; .

Only the bohemian flamingo felt the long-lost good mood.
