princess of don quixote

+2-4

Although the three of them failed to find a cure for Luo's illness after half a year, when everyone was hopeless, Corazon received another call from Doflamingo, which created a turning point. .

——And the general content of the phone call was that Doflamingo knew from a certain way that the Navy was planning to trade a large amount of money for the "fruit of surgery" from the pirate group that Dies Barreiros belonged to. A special devil fruit can allow the owner who eats it to cure all current diseases. This is undoubtedly the only way to treat Luo's terminal illness.

Therefore, even though he knew that the navy was about to ambush the Don Quixote pirates and Doflamingo planned to get the fruit of the surgery, Corazon decided to take Luo to Mignon Island without hesitation.

And after receiving a call from Doflamingo, Delo also asked Ke Lasong, why didn't he just ask his elder brother to give Luo the fruit of the operation?Why didn't the elder brother consider giving the fruit to Luo?

In this way, the three of them don't need to take risks anymore, they can just wait for the deal to be successful and take the fruits of the operation—but Corazon glanced at Luo who was trembling in the grass, and shook his head at Delo again. Shake your head.

He lowered his voice and explained to Delo in a low voice: "That's impossible."

"Because the ultimate ability of the fruit of the operation has another effect—that is, it can save the dying people and make people immortal at the cost of the lives of the capable people."

"In order to ensure that the ability user will cast spells on himself, that person will definitely choose the person who is most loyal to him in his heart - most of the people in the family are ability users. In his eyes, I am just a dumb person, the most suitable person. candidates."

When he said this, Doflamingo's intentions became obvious.

He chose Corazon as a sacrifice, hoping that Corazon would perform the ultimate operation on himself.

If he eats it, he will die, and if Luo eats it, sooner or later Doflamingo will design Luo to die for him, so no matter what, this fruit must be obtained by bypassing Doflamingo.

Hearing this, Delo understood Doflamingo's intentions, realized that he wanted to sacrifice his own brother without hesitation, and only felt that his world was about to collapse.

She couldn't help asking a question.

"Brother Cora, tell me, if I hadn't eaten the feather fruit, would my lord brother have let me eat this devil fruit?"

"I don't think you can do it." Corazon smiled helplessly at Delo, and stretched out his big hand to hug Delo into his arms: "Because you are the only weakness of that person."

Delo paused for a moment when she heard that, and slowly tightened her grip on Corazon's black cloak.

"What are you thinking?" Corazon looked at her.

"...I, I'm just." Delo lowered her eyes and got into Corazon's arms again, "Sorry, I don't know anything all this time."

"To be honest, I don't want you to know these things at all." Corazon lowered his eyes and rubbed the forehead of Delo with the tip of his nose. On this night when Luo fell asleep, he was always in the Don Quixote family. Corazon, who lived as an undercover agent, suddenly remembered the past 13 years ago.

"Delo, you've grown up."

He closed his eyes, because the makeup of a clown was painted on his face, so he could smile in a very obvious arc with just a slight pull of the muscles on his face.Dolo was lifted up in his arms, then placed in his arms like a small animal, and Dolo lay with her back against Corazon's stomach, between his crossed legs as he sat.

On the sea road to Mignon Island, Delo took advantage of Luo's sleeping time, lying in Corazon's arms and looking at Corazon's face from bottom to top.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I looked at brother Cora's face like this—"

Dolo smiled with crooked eyebrows, revealing a row of white teeth.

"That's because you have been clinging to that person since you were a child."

Deep in Corazon's index finger, he gently scratched Delo's small nose bridge. This was an action to coax a child to sleep, and an irresistible drowsiness hit him. Smelling the scent of Corazon's body that made her feel at ease, Delo was very happy. Almost half of his eyelids dropped.

"Brother Cora... my lord, can I ask you a question?"

"...?"

"In your eyes, am I also your younger sister? Or are you just cooperating with my elder brother and acting as my elder brother..."

Delo had already closed her eyes as she spoke, unable to open them to see Corazon's expression at the moment.And if she went to look now, she would probably only see his eyes full of astonishment. After all, Corazon never thought that she would feel the attitude he treated her when he was in the Don Quixote family.

After all, she was right.

He didn't regard her as his younger sister from the very beginning, after all, she was the baby picked up by Doflamingo, an... evil existence, so he treats Dolo, although he is very pampering and tolerant on the surface, but in his heart There are still grievances, compared to taking care of her wholeheartedly like Doflamingo, if you want him to be honest...

In his eyes, Delo is just one of the pawns to suppress Doflamingo.

He doesn't regard Doflamingo as his relative, and of course he doesn't treat Dolo in the same way.

So... is this the reason why Dolo has never been as close to him as Doflamingo?

"Since when did you notice..."

He asked like this, but Delo had fallen asleep during the long wait, so he couldn't hear Corazon's response.

Corazon felt sad for a while, and slowly hugged the girl up with the gentleness he was used to.

That night, holding that petite child in his arms, watching her subconsciously grab the feathers on his cloak with one hand, dreaming about calling Doflamingo, Corazon fell into deep thought.

It turned out that Dolo let go of Doflamingo and came out with him knowing that he had no brother-sister feelings for her.This means that she would rather trust him.

This thought made Corazon feel guilty and grateful. He stretched out his hand to caress Delo's head and face, and lowered his eyes again.

——Although he can't treat her as a younger sister until now, at least from now on, he will make up his mind to be her only family member and take good care of her.

Corazon made such a decision, and the corners of his lips curled up again.

……

Mignon Island.

"Good morning, Mr. Cora."

After Luo woke up from a nap, Mignon Island had already arrived. This is a winter island. In order to prevent Luo and Delo, who did not have enough clothes, from catching cold, Corazon stuffed the two children in his arms and disembarked.

And Luo habitually greeted Corazon after waking up, so Delo heard it, grabbed Corazon's shirt again, and said good morning to him.

"Good morning, Cora... sir."

She smiled at him, and Corazon stopped walking on the snow, realizing what Delo meant by calling him, and smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth: "Good morning, two little devils."

"How did you learn from me?"

"How can I learn from you? From today on, I will call Mr. Cora!"

The two children held in Corazon's arms bickered back and forth, and Luo was puzzled—what happened?After a whole night, De Luo called her brother in a childish voice?

"Did something happen?" Luo asked with a frown.

"Secret-secret." Delo smiled, and looked up at Corazon again: "Do you think so? Mr. Cora?"

"^_______^" He gave Luo Ye the same sneaky smile as De Luo, and after disgusting Luo, he continued to walk forward.

He was aware of Dolo's intentions.

She was planning to let him put down his undercover identity in the Don Quixote family, especially her brother identity.

Hearing her shout like that made him feel more relaxed.

"Huh? What the hell did you two do? Don't hide it from me, you bastard—!"

"Hee hee hee, who made you sleep like a pig last night?"

"what?!"

"Okay, okay—stop arguing, now, we have a very serious task."

Corazon held a baby in one hand, and said so earnestly, which made Delo and Luo realize that what they will experience next on Mignon Island is likely to be a turning point in the treatment of Luo's illness.

This is the last chance, so don't miss it—
