on the submarine.

"Room!"

Luo's voice sounded, and a blue translucent circle appeared, and Delo immediately transferred from the sea to Luo's hand. He caught her anxiously, but Delo's eyes had long been lax, and his consciousness had also changed. It's so blurry—I guess she just flew to the boat with brute force and willpower, after all, the yellow ape has opened several holes in her body...

"Delo! Delo, cheer up!"

"Ro..."

Leaning in her familiar arms, she felt the strength of the man on her arm, and spit out another mouthful of blood.

Just now... at the moment of the accident just now, her body was frozen, and that feeling seemed familiar.

It's like "his" thread.

In the past, it had been used as a thread to protect her, a proof of his strength.

So just now, why...?

Delo turned back from Luo's arms to look back at Marin Fando, and easily captured his figure in the distance.

Unfortunately, he was still wearing sunglasses as always, and she couldn't judge his mood at the moment.

However, the inherent curvature of the corner of his mouth disappeared, what was he thinking now?

Dolo closed her eyes, breathing more and more heavily.But Luo knew that her condition was getting worse, so he didn't delay any longer, and immediately took her back to the operating room, and at the same time ordered Bepo and the others to control the submarine to dive and escape from the island.

……

"It can't be done! Several of Miss Delo's wounds have directly penetrated the internal organs! Closed surgery must be performed immediately! Otherwise, the bleeding will not stop!" After the submarine sank, the doctors on board dealt with Delo's wound in a hurry. The wound, and Luo was also overwhelmed. The most urgent task ahead of him was naturally the most complicated operation of Straw Hat Luffy, but the situation on Delo's side... was his most selfish concern.

"Follow my instructions to deal with the wounds on Delo's body! I'm enough for the rest of the straw hats, and support me for at least 10 minutes! I'll never end with you if she loses a hair!" He arranged anxiously , Turned around and walked towards the first operating room.

"Cough cough..."

Lying on the operating bed, once she thought of the contact with Doflamingo just now, Delo felt very painful—the pain even made her more uncomfortable than the injuries on her body.Fortunately, for the operation, the doctors injected her with anesthesia, and she soon couldn't think about too complicated things.

That is, the experience just now flashed through her mind like a silent picture, and it wasn't just what happened just now, she also remembered a lot of things about getting along with that person in the past.

What is she thinking?The blood on her body was draining little by little. This was the first time she had suffered such a serious injury. She also heard just now that the attack on her by the yellow ape was not random. He deliberately aimed at the position of her internal organs, at least one laser shot through Her liver was damaged, and it is estimated that the internal bleeding has already driven the doctors on board to despair.

Will she really be all right?Rather than thinking about being rescued, she actually wanted to have a conversation with Luo.

But he was in the operating room next to him, dealing with the injury of the straw hat.

She closed her eyes, really couldn't hold it anymore, she was too sleepy...

And as she was about to faint, the doctor who operated on her also saw that her various values ​​were dropping rapidly.

"Miss De Luo! Don't give up on yourself!" The doctor next to her hurriedly stopped her from closing her eyes. She opened them weakly, then looked at the ceiling, and replied weakly: "It's too painful..."

"You'll be all right! The stitching operation will be quite successful!"

"no……"

She muttered, feeling like she couldn't explain it again.

Yes, no one will understand the explanation to the crew.

After all, from just now, her mind is full of that person's affairs.

It's Doflamingo... Did my brother use his ability?Was her injury what he had hoped for?Did my brother give up on himself?It was obviously the family she decided to leave by herself, and this result should have been expected, so why did she feel... so hard to breathe just by touching it?

These thoughts made her heart hurt too much, and she couldn't recover.

elder brother……

Tears welled up from her eyes.

"Miss Delo, are you giving up on yourself? Miss Delo!" one of the doctors asked her, she half-closed her eyes but didn't want to speak.

give up?That's not bad either.

After all, some pain, once awakened, is enough to make her beyond redemption.

For her, it was the time when she grew up in that castle under the protection of that person ten years ago.

If I just close my eyes like this, I can never think of him again...

And just when Delo stubbornly wanted to close her eyes and rest, a deep voice interrupted her thoughts.

"——At the head of the Straw Hat, two-thirds of the people here went to treat the superficial wounds and suture the wounds, and I will take over from De Luo's side. Get out of anyone who gets in the way."

The black-haired man who always wore a spotted hat approached the operating bed, his deep eyes met Delo's, and realizing that she had cried, he raised his hand and wiped her tears with the pulp of his thumb. Put on new surgical gloves.

"It's absolutely fine, don't be afraid, just keep looking at me if you're afraid." He observed her wound, and since Luo walked into the operating room, her number dropped back up a bit.

Her mouth opened and closed, and her eyes were watery.

And Luo stretched out his hand to pat her on the head, and then showed her the smile he would only give her: "Don't use extra strength to speak, support me if you have strength, and don't forget the agreement between us."

He said lightly, and Delo thought of the dreams they had weaved together for so many years, and felt a sense of relief in his heart, so the corners of his lips curled up.

He did the same, reached out to pick up the scalpel, lowered his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "...ROOM."

——The most important thing is her life, which is tightly held in his hands at this moment.

But it would be all right, nothing could take her away from him.

All these years—he had told himself so.

All growth must be for protection.

……

Several days passed.

It had been one night since the end of the operation, and after the anesthesia passed, she finally woke up after tossing and turning.

But because the wound would be involved if he moved a little, he had no choice but to lie quietly and look at the ceiling of the room.

...How can I still open my eyes like this?

Delo stretched out her hand from the quilt, and used her ability to conjure a feather from her palm. With her control, the feather flew to the window and lifted the curtain.

... During the day?It has returned to the calm sea, and the submarine seems to be docked.

Dolo's eyes were in a trance, and the things before the accident were like a dream.

She felt tired and was about to take a rest for a while, when the door of her room was opened - she turned her head and met Luo's gaze, who was obviously startled by her waking up, He strode up to her, frowned and asked her nervously, "De Luo! How do you feel now?"

"..." She opened and closed her mouth, although she wanted to answer his question, she didn't know where to start.

At this moment, she could see the fatigue on Luo's face, and she thought he must have worked hard for her for a long time, and then stayed up all night...

I feel really sorry for him, and the idea of ​​giving up once flashed in my heart.

Her thoughts were in a mess, and there was heavy haze under her eye sockets, because she was seriously injured and had a major operation, and her body was trying to adapt.

"Understood, you don't have the strength to speak yet." Luo recalled her injuries. Apart from the fatal wound caused by the attack of the yellow ape, there were also many cut marks on her body. When he was on the submarine, he couldn't see who attacked her at all. She died, and even during the operation, it was discovered that the wounds on her body were not much less than those of the Straw Hat Master.

The most serious wounds are naturally the wounds that penetrate the internal organs, but skin wounds also require frequent dressing changes, otherwise the infection or inflammation caused by improper wound treatment can be fatal every minute.

That's why he entered her room on time like this, changed her dressing, and conducted various inspections along the way.

"By the way, although it's a little inappropriate to tell you this at this time... But while you were in a coma, Doflamingo got my current teleporter number from somewhere and called you."

When Luo talked about this, he seemed to muster up great courage. After all, he intuitively felt that Dolo and Doflamingo might have discovered each other on Marlin Vandor.

He didn't want to know, and at the same time, he wanted to know like crazy.

That person's name is a topic they have avoided talking about for ten years, but avoiding it doesn't mean that they are not shrouded in the haze of that person in their hearts. Luo has always been very clear in his heart, even though Delo has always been by his side , but I still remember that arrogant and domineering man in my heart.

He usually doesn't bring it up deliberately, but since there are actions there, he may no longer be able to ignore that period of the past.

Especially since he also wants to do something recently.

So he wanted to see Dolo's reaction to the name.

…Then, as he had expected, since hearing that person's name, Dolo, who was lying ill on the bed, suddenly turned pale.

"..." Then, she closed her eyes without saying anything in particular.

It was the first time Luo saw such an expression on De Luo's face, it was heavy and forbearing, but now she obviously didn't want to say it, so he stopped talking.

Sure enough, since Marlin Vanduo came back, Doflamingo's weird expression was related to Doflamingo. He clenched his fists, and the jealousy in his heart almost suffocated him.

That man in Doflamingo is always like this - he can get what he wants most, and then destroy it easily.

Including Corazon, and Delo.

He got the relentless love of these two people - and then smashed it easily.

Obviously he and she have been together at sea for nine years, which is actually longer than Doflamingo's time with her, but in her heart, Doflamingo's position must be more important.

Fortunately, she closed her eyes, otherwise he didn't want her to see his ugly face, which was burning with jealousy.

Luo laughed at himself and stood up, then turned and left: "I'm going out first, and I'll ask Bei Boduan to give you something easy to eat later."

"...um," she replied.Seeing that Luo Zheng was about to turn around and leave, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve with difficulty, dragging the wound on her body, and made her gasp.

"Don't move around." Although he was in a bad mood, he still felt sorry for her and told her to lie back down: "Just let me help with anything, what do you want to say?"

Delo shook her head, and just smiled weakly, "I just want to thank Luo for saving me..."

"...Are you stupid?" He waved his hands helplessly, "You just need to have a good rest."

"Yeah." She smiled and closed her eyes.When Luo saw her smile, his heart ached.

——She really doesn't know at all.

Saving her and keeping her by his side was always for his own sake.

He can't lose her, his possessiveness towards her can almost drive him crazy, so naturally he can't let her have the slightest mistake——

She really doesn't know anything.

He reached out to stroke her head, and a voice in his heart became more certain.

Sure enough, he really wanted to protect her, no matter if she would look back at him or not.

It turns out...not only she is stupid, but he is also stupid?
