[One Piece] Charm and Curse

She was bound by sharp white threads, and she couldn't move.

Aurora was lying on a piece of mud, her eyelids were half drooping, and her face was ashen.His wandering eyes finally landed on the silver crown lying quietly by his hand.

She wanted to reach for the crown, and if she moved her blood-red right hand a little, it would feel a piercing pain.The bones of the knee seemed to have been hollowed out, and he had lost consciousness.

She looked at the red shadow in the sky that was directly defeated by the straw hat boy's shocking blow with all his strength——

All the brutality that Don Quixote Doflamingo had done to her before was a kind of self-mutilation.He knew it clearly, but he was still merciless.

"So, until now..."

She looked at the falling figure in the sky, and a blank murmur escaped from her dry and hoarse throat.

"Who are you hurting..."

The gray-white clouds quietly disappeared into the sky, and a light ray of sunlight pierced through the soft clouds, illuminating the entire land of Dressrosa.

Dressrosa, who has been shrouded in invisible darkness for ten years, ushered in a new life at this moment.Don Quixote Doflamingo was defeated, and the ten-year rule of the Don Quixote family was completely disintegrated.The Kingdom of Dressrosa, which seemed to be in ruins, was filled with the ecstasy of rebirth after despair.The birdcage disappeared, leaving only horrific cutting marks one after another.The citizens of Dressrosa who survived the catastrophe hugged each other with tears and smiles. King Liku, who had been framed and cast aside for ten years, was standing in a sea of ​​tears that had been almost cut into pieces by a birdcage. On the stone, weeping and hugging daughter Violet and granddaughter Rebecca who had endured humiliation for ten years.

And the straw hat boy who defeated Doflamingo and saved the country, has passed out due to excessive use of abilities, and is unconscious.

On the barren land, the cheers and cries of the people can be heard very clearly in the King's Highland.

Aurora watched the white thread that bound her gradually disappear.Even so, there was still no way to move the body.

"When did you know I killed her?"

"I wasn't knocked out at that time."

He didn't seem surprised at all. He probably guessed it from the moment she revealed the truth. After all, there were only three of them alive.

Dover gave a clear oh, as if he was not the one who was covered in blood and paralyzed in the ruins. He paused for a few seconds, and then asked flatly, "Did she teach you?"

She looked at the tall figure smashed into the ruins, and all kinds of complex emotions filled her heart with pain for a while, and the previous joy of revenge had been replaced by more profound emotions.

I can't answer for a while.

She opened her mouth and heard her own extremely weak voice.

"you……"

For so many years.

"Remember her?"

She watched the man's 10 years of painstaking efforts be destroyed, watched the man pulled down from the throne, and watched the once proud face stained a bit embarrassed by the dust of the ruins.But I don't know why, after experiencing these things that should make her feel the pleasure of revenge, she just asked such a simple sentence.

Over the past ten years, when you heard me speak to you in her voice, or when you looked at Violet's face that somewhat resembled hers, did you think of her?

The air was silent for a moment.

"Aurora."

"Sing a song."

The man's voice was slow, but his enunciation was extremely clear.

"You couldn't sleep when you were a child, the song that Aloyeva put you to sleep."

Everyone knows Freyfans—a lullaby.

Aurora's face turned pale.I wanted to say something, but the pain spilled from my heart to my throat.

Not a word could be said.

"I heard her sing this song in a dream." The man laughed in his chest, "Then the next second, he looked at me like an enemy and said let me go to hell."

She closed her eyes and uttered a few words with difficulty, "You're going to hell, Dover."

"Ah, who knows." Doflamingo raised his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter if I go to hell, as long as some guys in heaven don't want to see me."

A gust of cold wind swept across the ruined small garden in front of the palace, the pungent smell of smoke dissipated, and a light fragrance wafted from the flower garden.A touch of white fell on the fingertips, and the wind stopped.Aurora's black eyes fixedly watched the small petal of the white rose brush the top of the crown and land on her knuckles, and a vague syllable slipped out of her throat, as if she was sobbing.

In the open space that was originally dead and silent, a refreshing singing sound echoed gently.

A gentle lullaby with a crying voice.

Doflamingo lay in the ruins and looked up at the sky, with the corners of his mouth curled up, but still in an arrogant gesture overlooking the world——Aurora subconsciously recalled that year when he took Diamanti and Torrepol into the Wa In the slave prison in Lundin, Aloyeva looked at Aloyeva, who was holding the masked little girl tightly in her arms, and said "Follow me".

She remembered that at that time, there was light in her sister's eyes.

……

Dressrosa, central square, heap of architectural ruins.

"Bamba! Rimbaud! Hold this guy down!!" Leo was carrying a gun, and shouted to order two Dontata soldiers to push the tall man covered in bandages to the ground, " It’s hard to connect the arm and want to run around! How can Princess Manxueli’s hard work be in vain, you idiot!!”

On the side, Princess Manshirley of the Tata tribe is treating the wounds of the unconscious Bellamy. When Luffy and Luo were sent here earlier, this man was already on the verge of death and unconscious. If it weren't for Robin and Usopp Even if he was dragged back to a safe place, and Man Xueli, who has the ability to heal fruits, was still there, his soul would have returned to the west.

But at this time, Trafalgar Law, who had just been connected to the arm and had not recovered his physical strength, struggled to get up and went mad as if he wanted to rush to the palace. The momentary coldness in the eyes made the two Dongtata soldiers even more upset. Bangba and Rimbaud grabbed Luo's ankle and dragged him back.

The Dongtata tribe was born with supernatural power, and Luo, who was seriously injured, was no match at all at this time.His chin hit the ground, and he looked up at the King's Heights not far away without giving up.

Luo said in a calm voice, "You guys, let go."

The Dongtata tribe turned around and made a slight expression, "Don't let it go, don't let it go—"

A gust of cold wind blew by, making people shiver suddenly.Luo's pupils shrank suddenly, and with a fierce backhand, he broke free from the shackles of Bamba and Rimbaud.

The heart was suddenly throbbed, as if it was tightly squeezed by some kind of force.

After a few seconds, the heartbeat returned to calm again.

It was as if an invisible thread had been cut off suddenly.

"ROOM——!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that guy is crazy, but he still activates his ability at this time-oh my god, where did he go, why did he disappear!!!"

The unbreakable protection was lifted.

The author has something to say: Ummm expects to finish the main text in Chapter 35 and then start to write extra daily sugar

And after this chapter, I won’t be abusive [seriously], although I don’t think it’s very abusive kkk, it’s just a bit worrying

As Corazon said, Aloyeva and Dover are totally different from each other【打手】

Both of them have very stubborn tempers, and they must be killed in the end.

Moreover, for the role of Dover, if some kind of love story is forced to be added, it will definitely be disastrous. The emotional involvement between him and Aloyeva is a little bit, but the impact is not big. When Aloyeva When Loyeva poses a potential threat to him, he will still kill without hesitation.That's it.

☆, one clean break

After the birdcage disappeared, the land of Dressrosa, which had experienced life and death, ushered in a bright new life.The Don Quixote family was defeated, the Riku family returned to the palace, the Dontata family was released from slavery, and the people who lived in the haze as toys for ten years were able to reunite with their families.Although the entire island was almost completely destroyed in that war, every citizen of Dressrosa cherished the chance to live after experiencing the desperate situation. The scarred land is full of hope for the future. hope and longing for peace.With the help of the Navy, the citizens work together to rebuild the country.Naturally, the Revolutionary Army can't come forward and help the Navy openly. Of course, there are still many operations that assist secretly.At the call of Princess Manshirley of the Dongtata tribe, the little people united with the navy to provide unconditional medical services to the wounded.The arena fighters and pirates who fought against the birdcage before all transferred to the palace for healing under the welcome of the Riku royal family.

As for the core forces that brought down the Don Quixote family—that is, the Straw Hat Boys and the Death Surgeon, they are currently in the Dressrosa Flower Field, the former secret base of the Liku King Army, and the home of Cyrus. Take care of yourself.

After the war, the navy is still the one that wants to catch the pirates. It is impossible for them to enter and leave the palace under the watchful eyes of a group of navy. Therefore, this clean flower field has become the best place for the exhausted group to rest. good place.

When Cyrus kicked open the gate with a big bag of wild game, Lu Fei, whose recovery power was almost monster level, had golden eyes and kicked his legs, and rushed towards the fragrant barbecue, completely forgetting that Princess Manshirley had treated her differently before. He was seriously injured and exhorted.Sauron on the side twitched the corners of his mouth flatly, apparently accustomed to the captain's lively appearance, turned around and asked Cyrus for a glass of wine and drank it.

The Straw Hats were wounded to some extent, so Cyrus passed the food one by one, so as not to involve the wounds when they moved.Bellamy, who had just recovered from a serious injury, sat silently in the corner, stuffing food into her mouth without saying a word, but her eyes wandered as if she didn't know what to eat, and finally settled on the other side of the room, wearing a long black trench coat and covered in bandages Trafalgar Law—the man took the food given by Cyrus with a dull expression, and ate every mouthful. The moment his eyes met, Bellamy mechanically turned his head away and gobbled it up.

Bellamy's eyes finally fell on the woman on the bed.

Her whole body was treated with ointments and bandages.

It was hard to imagine how cruel Doflamingo had been to the woman he once called his most beloved sister.

Not long ago, this guy Luo launched ROOM to disappear out of thin air, which really scared a lot of people.But when he showed up at the Huatian hut with the devastated Aurora in his arms, no one was in the mood to blame Luo, who had disappeared without permission, because the wounds on the bloody girl who passed out in his arms made everyone present Everyone was terrified——Robin reacted the fastest, and immediately found Princess Manxueli of the Dongtata tribe. Without Princess Manxueli's magical ability to heal fruits, Aurora might be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life Spent and can no longer use the right hand.After healing the fatal injuries on Aurora's body, Princess Manshirley rushed to the city of Dressrosa again for daily medical work.

Now that Luffy is alive and kicking, the only bed in the flower field hut is naturally given to Aurora who is seriously injured and unconscious.Luo stood by the bed with a knife in his arms from the beginning to the end, pursed his thin lips, and said nothing. The only time he made a sound was when he took the food provided by Cyrus to thank him.

The man's cold face suddenly froze at the moment when there was a soft hum on the bed.Almost at the same time, the chatting and eating people in the room also stopped, and they all looked nervously at the tightly bandaged arm protruding from the quilt.The moment the messy black hair emerged, the lines of Luo's face from the chin to the corners of the eyes suddenly tightened.Usopp, who was closest to him, was frightened by the sudden change of aura around him, took two steps back, and didn't forget to walk a greasy chicken leg from Franky.

And Luffy, whose cheeks were stuffed with food, stared at Aurora sitting up on the bed, then brushed her hair, and without hesitation picked up a big rib on the table and threw it into Aurora's arms Throw, "Nah."

The phrase in Usopp's throat, "Do you think everyone can be resurrected with full blood by eating meat like you?" Before he could say it, he was startled by Luo YiROOM and jumped up-what the hell does this person want to do! !

In a blink of an eye, the rib fell into the porcelain plate in Luo's hand.

The man put the plate on the window sill expressionlessly, and it clicked.For a while, everyone looked at each other in confusion, but seeing the delicate atmosphere between the two, it was not easy to interrupt.Luffy looks at Robin, Robin tilts his head to look at Zoro, Zoro looks at Franky, Franky looks at Usopp, Usopp scratches his head, and carefully jumps over the silent Bellamy in the corner , looked at Uncle Cyrus standing at the door.Cyrus spread his hands inexplicably.

"Did you ever think about it when you went to deal with Doflamingo alone..."

"Luo." The woman tilted her head slightly, and interrupted him softly calling his name, "Thank you for worrying about me, and I'm sorry for making you worry, and... never again."

A few words in succession, softly spoken, coupled with the calm gaze of those bright black eyes, made Luo frown and take back all the words behind with a cold face.

A group of people were terrified and curious, watching Trafalgar Law, who never speaks sloppily, hit the nail on the head and was furious, was easily silenced by a woman with a few words.

I also lost my temper.

"Ah, and more." Seeing the coldness on Luo's face gradually faded, she smiled and stretched out her hand towards him, "I'm hungry."

Luo pursed his lips, put the plate in front of her expressionlessly, paused again when Aurora was about to reach out to pick it up, and then withdrew her hand.

"...Don't move your right hand."

He said a word indifferently, and Aurora's smiling eyes moved from his face to his hand holding the plate.

So, when Luo sent the ribs to Aurora's mouth with a cold face.Luffy couldn't hold back his laughter and sprayed rice on the table, Usopp choked on the chicken leg, Robin smiled meaningfully, and Franky wiped the table messed up by Luffy with a look of disgust. It was Sauron who snorted coldly, took a sip of his wine, and said sharply, "That's all."

Aurora opened her mouth to bite the piece of meat that had cooled down, and raised her head to meet Luo's downcast gaze.

What flashed across his mind was the image of the man in front of him splitting through the piles of ruins and rushing toward his unconscious self on the garden path.

For a while, the tip of the nose was sore.

At night, most of the house fell into deep sleep—exhausted from the long and tense battle.But Aurora, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, couldn't fall asleep, so she simply climbed out of bed lightly to make room, and dragged Luffy, who was sleeping soundly on the floor, to the bed.Cyrus and Sauron, who were watching the night by the door, were drinking wine. They were probably the only ones in the room who were not asleep except for Aurora.

The light white moonlight penetrates through the gap of the half-closed door, and the flower field hut is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, mixed with the fresh smell of green grass, and melted into the gentle evening breeze.

Zoro, who was sitting by the door with his sword in his arms, looked at Aurora who woke up at some point. Before he could open his mouth, Aurora put her index finger in front of her face, smiled and shook her head.

She wrapped herself in her overcoat and got out of bed in the dark—this dress was still light beige when she went to the island, and now it was dirty with cement dust and blood.

Aurora slipped lightly to Luo who was resting with her eyes closed, hugged her knees, squatted and watched him for a while, and then sat down beside him with her back against the wall.

But Luo was a light sleeper. As soon as she sat down, he opened his eyes. The moment his eyes met, Aurora curled her mouth, grabbed his shoulder, and leaned close to his ear when Luo leaned over. I whispered something and couldn't sleep.

Luo didn't say a word, his eyes wandered on her for a while, then he took off the long black trench coat on his body, and stretched out his hands to wrap Aurora.

After taking off his coat, the layers of bandages on his body made her frowned subconsciously.

Aurora wore Luo's black windbreaker, got up and asked Cyrus for a quilt.She walked back to the corner and stood in front of Luo, shaking off the soft quilt and unfolding it. Luo raised his head and saw Aurora frowning, and then he reluctantly took a corner of the quilt to cover himself, holding the sword in his right hand at the same time He reached out and grabbed Aurora's wrist with his left hand, pulling her back to him.

As soon as Aurora sat down, she moved the quilt a little closer to Luo. After the quilt completely surrounded the two of them, she sighed softly and leaned her head on Luo's left shoulder.

She didn't feel sleepy at all before, but as soon as she leaned against Luo, the clean and pleasant smell made Aurora drowsy again.

The air in the quilt was warm, and so was the hand that wrapped around her arm and held her.

Aurora's eyelids were half drooping, and she felt Luo's five fingers on her left hand squeezed into the gap between her fingertips, and she squeezed them hard.

When the door of the Huatian hut was pushed open, the night wind blowing in woke up the drowsy Aurora, her right hand was still firmly held by Luo, she raised her left hand, rubbed her sleepy eyes, I saw Sabo taking off his hat in salute to him.Sauron and Cyrus looked puzzled, so Luo, who had a little understanding of the situation, remained silent.The man's polite behavior was noticed by Aurora, she twitched the corners of her mouth calmly, "It's okay, I'm not a princess anymore."

Remembering the previous promise to Sabo, Aurora wanted to stand up and talk to him outside, but Luo grabbed her hand, showing no intention of letting go.She moved her fingers, and the man's hand under the quilt gripped even tighter.

She smiled apologetically at Sabo, and asked for his opinion, "Just say it here?"

Sabo doesn't care, "as long as you don't mind." Even the little princess of Pahemia herself doesn't mind digging through those old accounts in front of outsiders, so he, an irrelevant person, naturally doesn't mind.

"It's nothing to mind." She shook her head, "It was a long time ago."

Although she was exhausted both physically and mentally, her words were unexpectedly clear when talking about the old events of more than ten or twenty years ago. The illusion that she was aloof from the beginning to the end—but the woman who told the story plainly was clearly one of the most innocent victims of that story, and there was no trace of resentment or hatred on her face .From the beginning when the Pahemia royal family signed an unlimited mineral extraction contract with the world government, until the final catastrophe, the royal family betrayed the people, the neighboring countries alliance slaughtered, the government stood by and stayed out of the matter, Frevans was destroyed, and the royal family was enslaved— —The one who survived in the end was only the little princess who was abandoned at the beginning and was tacitly accepted that she would not live for a few years.

Cyrus looked at Aurora with a complicated expression, "You and Doflamingo..."

Aurora fell silent suddenly, while Luo frowned.

Sabo leaned on the door frame with his arms crossed, and winked at Usopp and Franky who were awakened by their conversation at some point. Those who had just woken up realized that the atmosphere was not right, and shut up consciously.Sauron glanced at Cyrus, and Cyrus realized that he seemed to have stepped on this woman's minefield by accident.

Just about to change the subject, the woman's clear voice sounded again——

"He saved me."

Aurora turned her head away, resting her forehead on Ro's shoulder.

"But he killed my most important person."

At her feet lay the shattered mask of the Queen of Spades.

Doflamingo values ​​her, this is something that the whole family and even Dressrosa know.He asked her to replace her dead sister as the Queen of Spades, and asked her to receive the highest intensity training from the top cadres of the family - he had to do this, their lives were implicated by the "unbreakable guardian", if she was not strong enough, she Dover's own life would be threatened at any moment.When she was just a fledgling, she was tricked by people on the road, and Dover took people to take their nest without saying a word.She knew that Flamingo had been looking for the crown of Aloyeva that was accidentally lost after the battle with the remnants of Valentine for many years. When she wandered outside and received the news that the crown would appear in the Chambord Islands auction, She guessed that he had taken ownership of the diadem.

She never asked Dover in these years whether he valued her because of Aloyeva's unbreakable guardian curse before her death, or for some other reason.It was like she would never ask him whether she spent a lot of money to get back the crown, whether she was trying to find a way to lift the curse that was extremely troublesome to him, or just because it belonged to Aloyeva.She didn't want to spend too much time, and she didn't bother to speculate about the unfathomable heart of that man whose interests are paramount.

But at least she knew he couldn't destroy the diadem.

Because she knew that Aloyeva's spiritual power attached to the crown was something he could never destroy.

At the end of the lullaby, when the white rose petals fell to the ground, when she stretched out her blood-stained right hand to hold the crown.

She felt that the power of the curse was gradually disappearing.

—Doflamingo, you know.

——My sister told me that the way to lift the curse is to awaken good memories.

This is a method that Don Quixote Doflamingo would never have thought of.

The moment the curse was lifted, the last trace left by Aloyeva also slowly disappeared from this world.

She and Doflamingo were stunned in place at that time, watching Aloyeva's silver crown turn into a shimmering silver sheet in a flash of white light, and go away with the wind.

Whether it is for Aurora and Aloyeva, or for Doflamingo and Aloyeva, this time is a real farewell.

"As the Queen of Spades, I have worked for Don Quixote's family for more than ten years, and it is considered that I have repaid his favor."

Looking at the quiet moonlight falling on the flower field outside the window, she said softly.

"From now on, everything about that guy has nothing to do with me."

The author has something to say: Ummmm is like this, because tomorrow I will go back to my hometown to prepare for the New Year

So the update time of the next few chapters may not be stable, because going back to my hometown is all kinds of New Year greetings, visits, etc.

☆、Her inseparable

After Sabo came to find Aurora last night, he looked at Luffy who was asleep for a while.Then he got up and said goodbye to everyone. It was really inappropriate for him, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, to stay for a long time on Dressrosa, where the navy gathered after the war.In the early morning of the next day, Cyrus went to the coastal port, and together with the pirate friends Luffy met in the arena and the helpers sent by the Liku royal family, he arranged for the upcoming voyage - earlier in Greenbit When being calculated, Luo urgently ordered Polar Diving and Sonny to leave Dressrosa for Zou, and now they had no choice but to board other pirate ships, and everyone was in Dressrosa together. Life and death partners against too many flamencos and birdcages, so other pirates are more than happy to help them.

After hearing from Sabo last night that the former Navy Admiral Sengoku had also come to the land of Dressrosa after the war, Luo remained expressionless. Aurora also vaguely noticed that something was wrong with him, but she didn't ask any more questions.After Sabo left, Aurora, who had been in a light sleep for a while, was finally woken up by Luffy's energetic yelling at sunrise. She stretched herself, completely sleepless, and through the window, She saw Luo's thin and slender figure walking away on the flower field path.

A scent brushed the tip of her nose, and she turned to see Bellamy handing herself a small plate of biscuits.

Robin on the side seemed to be reading in the morning. She had several cups of hot milk by her hand. Seeing that Aurora had woken up, she handed her a cup and smiled at her, "Morning."

Aurora took the milk and said good morning to Robin with a smile, then turned to look at Bellamy with a straight face, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "You're so nervous, are you here to thank me?"

Suddenly being poked in the center of his mind, Bellamy's face couldn't hold back, Aurora's words blocked him so that he couldn't say anything next.

The biscuit plate is supported by the thick arm, and the inexplicably well-behaved appearance is really inconsistent no matter how you look at it.

Bellamy never liked being in debt.

Empty hands.

Aurora took the plate swiftly and took a bite of the biscuit, "Thank you, I'll take it."

"Remember to thank Luffy, he couldn't bear to punch you at that time."

Walking out of the flower field and wandering aimlessly to Dressrosa Street, Aurora, who was walking around with a plate of biscuits without a mask to cover her face, was obviously much more relaxed.On both sides of the street are the citizens of Dressrosa who are rebuilding their houses in full swing. Aurora heard a few chatters about the navy in the idle chat of the people. She stopped and turned towards the islanders within a few seconds. Said the naval station to go.

The navy is stationed on the east coast. If I remember correctly, at this point in time, Princess Manshirley should have started medical work under the protection of the Dongtata tribe.After thinking about it, Aurora chose a slightly concealed shortcut. After all, she has been with a group of pirates for two years, and it will be more troublesome if the navy recognizes her.

"I have a question, Trafalgar."

She stopped and stopped behind a low gray wall.This voice was what she heard in Marlin Fandor two years ago——

The voice of former Admiral Sengoku.

"Thirteen years ago, the boy who let that guy bet everything on it, suffered from palliative disease, and was reborn after eating the fruit of the operation..."

"……it's me."

He suffocated, and the porcelain plate almost fell out of his hands.

The indifferent voice that came from my ear when I was sleeping 13 years ago suddenly flashed through my mind.

— Aurora.

—Corazon is dead.

When she saw the letter pattern on Luo's clothes and the skull pattern of the pirate flag on the Chambord Islands two years ago, she couldn't help thinking of a person.

Even though she had vaguely guessed it a long time ago, when she really heard the truth with her own ears, Aurora's heart still twitched violently.

During those three years when many things happened in Baby-5's mouth, during those three years when she fell asleep——

A little boy who survived the Frevans War, strapped full of bombs, came to the headquarters of the Don Quixote family. At that time, the headquarters had moved away from the address three years ago. Knowing that his life is not long, and the phrase "Even if I don't live for three years, I will destroy everything I can see" made Doflamingo see his childhood shadow.If he hadn't met Corazon, who was lurking in the Don Quixote family as a navy and was also Doflamingo's younger brother, perhaps Trafalgar Law's life trajectory would have been as he said, Destroy everything and die three years later.

"13 years ago, that guy gave up his life for someone like me."

Corazon died at the gun of Doflamingo for Trafalgar Law 13 years ago. Trafalgar Law, who was reborn after eating the fruit of the operation 13 years ago, left the family and lived with the sleeping three Aurora, who finally woke up in Nian, happened to miss it.

Aurora saw Luo took out a recording pen and handed it to the woman in a white coat sitting in a wheelchair next to Zhan Guo. Luo called her Miss Brown.

She watched the woman crying hysterically holding the old voice recorder.

A simple confession was repeated intermittently in the recorder. It was Mr. Corazon who said her name "Emily" and then said "I love you".

—What kind of girl does Mr. Corazon like?

I remembered Mr. Corazon lying in the warm sunshine and saying "she is a very kind doctor" with the corners of his mouth curled up.

His heart seemed to be grabbed, and he couldn't breathe for a while.

Mr. Corazon at that time had light in his eyes.And Aurora, who was still a little girl at that time, naively thought that the kind-hearted Mr. Corazon would be able to stay with the girl he liked until the end of her life.

"I've been living to defeat Doflamingo for Mr. Corazon, but..."

"Don't make excuses for other people's love for you, kid." After the war, Zhan Guo had already turned gray, but the tone of his speech was the same as before, calm and domineering, "If you really want to miss him, we all Don't forget him, that's fine."

Her throat hurt and she closed her eyes.The eye sockets are sour and moist.

In the summer in Beihai 16 years ago, that kind and gentle blond man stood against the light, squatted down with a helpless smile, stretched out his fingers, and gently touched the bony palm of Pahimia Aurora.

The force was very light, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

——Don't drive me away.

--[good].

Tears just slid down his cheeks without warning.

Then crumbled.

……

On the white sandy beach on the east coast, the sea gently laps against the rocks.The white foam surged up, and then gradually spread out and disappeared.

There were familiar footsteps behind her, and Aurora didn't turn her head. She just hugged her knees and sat on the beach, looking at the sun on the horizon in the distance, silent.

Luo propped one hand on the soft and warm white sand, sat down cross-legged, raised his hand and patted the sand on his hand, seeing that she was silent, he casually picked up a small shell from the side, and played with it silently.

Aurora's skin was originally fair, but now her eye sockets and the tip of her nose were flushed, and it was obvious at a glance that she had just cried.

Luo Xiu's long fingers were fiddling with the ordinary small shell, while the other hand rested casually on his knee.

"'Unbreakable Guardian' lifted."

Her eyes fell on the golden-plated sea level, and she murmured.

Luo, who was sitting beside her, let out a hum, looked at her profile from the corner of her eye, and pressed the shell back into the white sand with her lowered hands.

"My sister's crown also disappeared forever with the curse."

"Ah."

"Two years ago we agreed to..."

With a bang, the cyan shell drew a perfect parabola and fell into the sea.

Luo looked at her sideways, and pressed his slender five fingers on the sand pile behind her, sinking and gathering, drawing several long depressions.

"'Don't make excuses for other people's love for you'." His eyelashes drooped slightly, his body leaned forward slightly, and he looked at Aurora steadily, "I thought you had heard every word that the old man said. .”

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but before she could say "I've finished listening", the man pulled her away.Luo cupped her face with his five fingers, pulled the woman over and kissed her effortlessly, blocking all her next words.Luo firmly held the back of her head, and Aurora gave up resistance after a few flops.His breath invaded her senses mercilessly, and Aurora took a bite angrily when the tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, who knew that the other party got worse.

With great difficulty, Aurora finally pushed Luo away, and then stood up and took a step back. Luo still had no expression, and stood up. Just as he was about to take a step forward, Aurora raised her hand to block it. His shoulder, "Hey, listen to me."

Luo raised his eyebrows, said flatly, and looked at her with his arms folded.Within a few seconds, he said without changing his expression, "Adjust your breathing before speaking."

Aurora glared at Luo fiercely, and Luo pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression was very dull, as if the person who bit her lip just now was not him.

She faced him and took a few steps back.The shoes sink into the soft white sand, and the temperature spreads from the soles of the feet to the heart.

Luo quietly watched Aurora raise her hands and put her hands together in front of her mouth, her fair skin was tinged with ruddy light.

She stood a few steps away and yelled
