A journalist partner

, deathly silence.Mother found out all the valuable things in the house and put them on the table.Hiding her in the closet again, the mother smiled softly, smoothed her hair, and said, "Dorothy is obedient, don't make a sound, and don't run out." After thinking about it, the mother still seemed worried, After closing the cabinet door, she heard the sound of the lock being locked, thinking that it was her mother who locked the cabinet door.The inside of the cabinet is so dark and narrow, but the sound from outside can be heard clearly.

She heard the door being kicked open, followed by her mother's soft voice, "All the money is here, you take it and go."

"That little bit?"

"Our family is not rich."

"Hmph, you look pretty dainty. Tsk tsk, look at those hands, you look like a capable housewife." A nasal laughter came, with some teasing in the tone, "Sell it, although It's a human being, at least it can make up for the money your family gave out."

"If you don't think it's enough, I can give it to you after I make money."

"No, just use your people to compensate."

"Let go!" Mother suddenly called out, "Let go of me, let go!"

She huddled in the cabinet, tears and snot dripping from fear.She didn't know what was going on now, but her heart was flustered.She heard her mother seem to hit the table, and she seemed to break away from something. There was a messy sound, and the mother cried out in despair, "You can't take me away, don't! What should I do if I leave? I can make money for you!"

She suddenly became anxious. Mom is going to be taken away?Push the cabinet door vigorously with both hands, but there is only the sound of the golden lock colliding with the wood.She kept tapping on the closed cabinet door and shouted in fear, "Mom!"

"Dorothy!"

"Another child?"

"You don't want to think about her!"

"We're not interested in children. However, if you behave yourself, your children will be spared some suffering."

A moment of silence.

Mother suddenly said, "Before I go with you, I will open the cabinet door."

"No, since it's locked, why open it? Haha, isn't it more interesting to lock it?" Sharp laughter sounded.

"you!"

There was another crackling noise, and she heard her mother calling to her eagerly, "Dorothy!" and then a man's voice, "Grab her!" cried the mother, "You told me to let the baby out! Get out of the way! My child! Ah——!"

With a clear slap, the man roared, "Are you still fighting with me? If this kid comes out, I'll kill her!"

"..." The sound of metal falling to the ground was crisp and clear.

"Let's go." The man said again.

She suddenly heard a sob, a strong cry mixed with sobs, and her mother called her name in a low voice, "Dorothy..."

"Mom! Mom!" She cried and slammed on the cabinet door, desperately.

That was the last time she heard her mother call her name.

The sound of footsteps went from near to far, and finally could not reach her ears, leaving only a disturbing silence.Even the air was filled with a sense of desolation, and the wooden door creaked, exuding the dead air of people going to the empty building.

She curled up in the cabinet, no longer had the strength to cry, and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

Unable to feel the passage of time, everything Dorothy touches in the narrow closet is boundless darkness.Sleep and wake up, wake up and cry, cry and sleep again.The air in the closet became thinner and thinner, and when she pushed the closet door hard, she only opened a small gap for her to breathe fresh air.

She was so hungry that her stomach twitched.However, there is no mother who loves her to cook for her anymore, and she clearly feels that her mother has left her.Desperately scratching marks on the cabinet door, she had exhausted all the strength in her body, so she could only lean against the cabinet door weakly, her grievances and sadness were choked in her heart, she grinned and kept crying, "Mom ...Mom...I want to go out...Mom, woo, mother..."

After a long, long, long time of no response, she finally stopped crying, sat quietly in the dark, and began to use all her energy to hate the pirates.

The villains of the sea.

Ruined her town, took her mom, killed so many people.

Heinous pirate, she remembered.

She stayed in the cabinet quietly brewing hatred until later, she heard a familiar shout, "Madam Boss! Dorothy!"

Immediately her eyes brightened, she sat up abruptly, and quickly responded, "Uncle Simon! I'm here!"

"Dorothy! Why is it locked?" After a while of fussing, the door was finally opened with a "squeak" sound.A large swath of sunlight poured down, and she squinted uncomfortably.

Simon Randolph stood in front of her, reached out and took her out of the closet, hugged her in his arms, and frowned, "Why are you in the closet? It's still locked? If the key hadn't been thrown on the ground, maybe I I can't get you out yet." Looking at her red eyes, Randolph wiped her cheek and asked, "What's the matter? What happened in the town? I lived on the mountain for four days, and when I came down, There are dead people and ruins everywhere, where is the proprietress?"

"Uncle Simon..." Emotions surged, and she couldn't help crying again, "Mom, mom, she..."

……

On the day she followed Simon, she stood in front of the desolate town and tried to raise the corners of her mouth to smile, "Mom, I will live on until the day I find you. I will leave with Uncle Simon, and from now on I will be the last The most excellent journalist, the reputation is so great that you can know my news in any corner of the world, and you can rest assured. I want to use my pen to let everyone know-pirates are not a thing!!!”

Recalling this point, Dorothy raised her head and said, "Later Uncle Martin wiped out those pirates for me. But when they asked about their mother's news, they didn't remember it at all. A person's life is in their eyes She's just a tiny ant!" Anger was burning in her eyes, she frowned and said, "Mom was probably sold as a slave. As a reporter, I traveled around and interviewed, and I have always asked about my mother's whereabouts, but so far I have been looking for her. Not to her."

Everyone looked at her silently.

After a long while, Lu Fei suddenly pouted his mouth aggrievedly, lowered his head and frowned and said, "Well, it would be great if I could kill those pirates too. It's a pity that Uncle beat me first. But—" stretched out his hand and patted Dorothy Si's shoulder, Lu Fei smiled brightly, "In the future, there will be guys who bully Dorothy, I will not let the uncle, I must solve it myself!"

"Lu Fei..." Dorothy looked at him, holding back tears in her eyes, turning and turning, finally falling down.A warm hand rubbed her hair, she turned her head, Nami was looking at her with a smile, "During the trip, let's find your mother together!"

"Yeah!" Dorothy laughed through tears, "It's a good thing I met you, so I know that pirates have good people." Thinking of them rushing to save her regardless of their own lives, I felt a little guilty.Before, I never regarded them as real partners.Just thinking about it, a cup of coffee suddenly appeared in front of her. Sanji stood next to her, smoking a cigarette, and said, "So, my partner, Miss Dorothy, after drinking this cup of coffee, can we set off?"

"Ah..." Partner?Dorothy was taken aback for a moment, then took the coffee happily, "Thank you!"

"Dorothy!" came the familiar call.

Dorothy turned her head, and Randolph and Oliver walked over side by side.Walking to the front of the boat, Sensitively feeling the complicated gazes of everyone, Randolph inspected everyone seriously, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Ah, no." Chopper quickly shook his head like a rattle, if he made a fuss about men liking men, he would look very ignorant!So he tried his best to calmly change the subject, "Director Simon is always so serious."

"Haha, that's why you were cheated by daddy!" Dorothy reached out to pinch Randolph's cheek, "He's actually very shy." With a giggle, she shouted, "Dad, you are so cute! !"

boom--

Randolph's blood surged up, and his face suddenly flushed into a red apple.

"Ah, really?" Chopper laughed, "Director Simon is cute?"

bang bang-

"So cute, so cute, so cute, so cute!"

"Cough, please stop talking." Randolph said helplessly, blushing no longer.

"It's so cute!" Chopper still shouted excitedly, but his body was suddenly lifted into the air. It turned back tremblingly, and Oliver was lifting himself up with a smile, with a threatening tone in his tone, "If you bully our chief again, I will I'm angry."

"Ah, not cute." Chopper replied blankly.

"Hey, I'm here to say goodbye to you, Dorothy, and I'll leave her to you." Randolph cleared his throat, and said, "Then, let me understand Dorothy's position in your hearts. "His body suddenly emitted a faint blue light.

"Ah, what is this?" Brooke asked strangely.

Dorothy replied, "Father is using his fruit ability, and when he asks questions later, the other party will tell the truth no matter what."

"What?" Hearing this, Usopp hugged his head in a panic, and opened his mouth wide, "It's better to let me die than to let me lie! No! I don't want to tell the truth! Ahhh, I suddenly want to sleep , I went back to the room! Goodbye!"

Oliver stopped in front of Usopp, and smiled, "You have to cooperate with Randolph."

"Then." Randolph said in a deep voice, "What is Dorothy in your heart?"

"Ah, let me express my heart first, Mr. Chief!" Sanji rushed to Lun
