How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

When Doflamingo arrived at the place Virgo mentioned in the phone bug, the snow was empty, leaving only messy footprints and a few glaring pools of blood.

He contacted the most trusted red heart again, and got a bad news.

Corazon and Luo sneaked away while Virgo was reporting the situation earlier. Although the former was quickly caught again due to his injury, Luo who was originally by his side disappeared.

After listening to the report, Doflamingo lowered his head subconsciously, and looked at the child in his arms.

The latter's face became paler and paler due to the blowing wind and snow, leaving only a faint color of blood on his lips, which were slightly pursed at this moment.

...Why, why hide?

The things I have always believed in have been shaken, and the negative premonition that grows wildly in my heart together with the sense of anxiety makes people feel anxious and panic.Yu Gongcui tightly grasped the edge of Doflamingo's cloak, urging in a hoarse voice.

"Let's go and have a look."

They avoided the sight of the navy and joined Virgo at the fastest speed.After briefly introducing each other to the two cadres who had never met before, the captain of the Don Quixote family lowered his eyes and silently watched his younger brother leaning against the broken wall beside him, panting heavily.

——His only remaining, only blood relative.

"Where is Luo?"

Corazon, who was finally able to take off his disguise, stared at him without fear, and even though his body was covered in dust and his description was miserable, he still showed a big, undisguised smile.

"He has already eaten the fruit of the operation, broke the limit of life span, found his original self, and is completely free! Give up, Luo has found his own path, and will not look back!"

Doflamingo's face gradually became gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.And Yu Gongcui, who was wrapped in a feather cloak, covered her lips with her fist, coughed twice uncontrollably, and an abnormal blush appeared on her cheeks.

"'Have you found your own way'... that is truly a blessing."

He made a hoarse voice, and looked down at Corazon who showed no sign of surrender.

"I don't judge your personal choice, but, give me back Luo, that's my brother."

mine.

It's mine, the only thing I have left.

However, accompanied by the complicate look of guilt and pity but no regrets cast by the other party, it seemed that a key point that had been buried for a long time was slammed, and the thoughts that had started to be chaotic and restless suddenly stagnated. Something important happened that was almost forgotten.

Luo is no longer shackled by platinum-lead disease, he also gave up the crazy idea of ​​revenge on the world, and resolutely draws a clear line with the pirate family. Isn't this what he secretly determined to do when he was just thrown into this world?

Since when did this simple desire to save gradually deteriorate, and become something deeper and more complicated under the nourishment of blood and family?

Blindly keeping the child by his side, deceiving himself in the name of caring, but in a corner that he didn't even realize, he secretly longed for that bond.

Now that Luo has made up his mind to leave, if it is true, as Corazon said, "getting complete freedom", then as his younger brother, he should be happy for Luo who has been released from the shackles.

However, the unwillingness, anger, fear, sadness that emerged in my heart at this moment... What is it?

【I wanted to save him, but was saved by others. 】

Another smaller voice followed, asking sharply: 【Do you really want to save him? 】

Perhaps it was so at first.

However, after the family affairs were on the right track, all he did for Luo was to find the fruit of the operation.Perhaps since then, my inner thoughts have quietly changed.

It's fine to take revenge on the world... But, brother who bears the title of "family", please stay by my side.

——And now, because of this selfishness, he was going to lose him.

Or, have you never had the family affection that you long for vaguely in your heart, even you dare not face it?

The eyes are sore and swollen, and even the nearby things are blurred.There was a gentle touch of fingertips rubbing the skin on the cheeks, and after realizing the little wetness left, he realized that he was crying for nothing.

Corazon on the snow looked at him nervously, seeming a little flustered.But Yu Gongcui, who forcibly calmed his emotions, was busy suppressing his tears, and had no time to pay attention to him at all. He just thanked Doflamingo who wiped his tears with uncontrollable sobs, and got a depressive silence.

"I understand what you said."

Weeping unconvincingly, Yu Gongcui wanted to harden his tone but couldn't, so he could only let himself continue to lose face.

It was just a gaffe... After crying, he will learn his lesson and never allow such a thing to happen again.

"Anyway, Luo never really regarded me as a brother. I was the only one who was troubled from the beginning to the end. If you were the one who solved him, I should have been grateful—but enough is enough, and it doesn't matter."

"I'm not going to care about him anymore."

Burying his face on Doflamingo's shoulder, he tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man's right hand raised, and removed the short/spear that he often caressed from his waist.

Open the safety and aim ahead.

"Those who betray the family shall be punished with death", this is the blood family rule that no one can escape, even if that person is his younger brother.

The roar of the bullet being fired rang in the ear, one shot, two shots, three shots——

The pistol/gun that was still emitting green smoke was stuffed back into his waist. The man's breathing seemed to be a little disordered. He didn't even step forward to confirm Corazon's life and death, and strode away in a hurry as if fleeing.

Yu Gongcui lay on his shoulders, watching the body that slipped and fell on the snow gradually go away, and slowly closed her eyes.

This is the end.

Painful, damning brotherhood for both... let's end it here.

---------------------------------

Before leaving Beihai, Doflamingo made the best use of everything, threatening the "Heavenly Gold" provided to the Tianlong people by the sky, forcing the world government to grant him the title of "Qiwuhai".

The Seven Martial Seas under the King is a loose organization selected by the world government to select seven vicious big pirates. Its members will reach a certain degree of cooperation with the government and will no longer be wanted by the navy, but they also need to obey certain orders from the government. Order.

The world government hopes to use the prestige of these people to deter ordinary pirates, so Shichibukai is also privately called "the government's running dog" by the latter.

But in fact, the two sides are just using each other.None of the Qiwuhai will really obey the government, and once the government catches these people, it will kill them without mercy.

But with such a name, at least you don't have to worry about the navy chasing after you all day long, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future.

When formulating this plan, Doflamingo also confessed to Yu Gongcui that he was once a Celestial Dragon, and the World Government would not attack him rashly.

Although Yu Gongcui wondered how one of the highest nobles would become a pirate in the North Sea, this is not the key element. Since the other party did not intend to explain, he did not intend to ask.

"We were only active in the North Sea before, and now that the news of becoming the new Shichibukai is widely known, Dover is expected to face many challenges."

Yugong Cui secretly rubbed her hands and told, "Don't be in a hurry to show impressive results, let the cadres go first. Originally, the purpose of entering the new world is to strengthen the strength, and now there is a whetstone delivered to your door, so you must cherish it."

Doflamingo agreed with a grin, but suddenly changed the topic and brought up a trivial matter.

"After you came back from Mignon Island, you developed a high fever, and the scheduled departure time was postponed again and again because of the Qiwuhai incident. I originally planned to give you a gadget on the day of departure, but it has been delayed until now—now it is It's time, come and get it."

Yugong Cui raised her eyebrows with interest, and followed the man back to the room.

The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows are open, and the sun in the winter morning is bright but without temperature, directly covering the whole room.

There is a black desk next to the wall, and the reading and working area is separated from the bed by a bookcase full of various books. Seeing that Doflamingo went around without stopping, Yu Gongcui's eyes widened. Dodging, he walked quickly to the desk, opened the second drawer on the right side familiarly, and took out a short/gun from it.

As an ability user of the thread fruit, the man himself is strong enough and does not need to rely on guns.

But for unknown reasons, he is always used to carrying this gun when he goes out. Although he never uses it, he will rub his waist unconsciously at certain times-obviously this short/gun has a special meaning to him .

Holding the gun in his hand, before he could make any other movements, Doflamingo's voice sounded faintly behind him with a high-pitched smile.

"Rami, what are you doing?"

Yu Gongcui turned her head without guilt, and calmly raised the things in her hands to him.

"Look at your gun. What is the caliber? The model is very old. If you are going to upgrade it, give me this?"

"That won't do."

Doflamingo, who didn't doubt too much, just shook his head, and after a short and forceful refusal, he threw the things in his hand, "Here is your gift, so don't covet my gun."

Yu Gongcui stretched out her hand - the thing hit her arm, and then rolled to the ground.

Ignoring Doflamingo's expression, he bent to pick up the unexpected gift, which turned out to be a windshield made of leather and glass.

Why send him this?

Ah, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that most of the cadres wear glasses/eye masks as accessories. Is this the so-called family characteristic?

So Yu Gongcui didn't bother anymore, simply put on the blindfold, tied up the belt, and tilted her head to look at Doflamingo who was watching the show in front of her.

...The field of vision became clearer.

The originally ritualized words of thanks dissipated and turned into a soft "ah".The man folded his arms and looked at him condescendingly, with undisguised satisfaction in his expression.

"There is a knob here, which can be adjusted, and it can be used as a telescope if necessary. Although I don't have any requirements on the dress of the cadres, this look is quite cute... If you think it is appropriate, don't take it off."

"Yes, yes, but I'm a little confused—"

Are the blindfolds of other cadres also given by you?How much do you love this element? !

While complaining wildly, Amamiya Cui didn't explain further, but cherished the edge of the brown leather belt, and nodded to the man opposite.

"I will cherish it."
