One Piece: The Bond of the Flamingo

"Brother, will we all steal things like this in the future?" Rosindi lowered his head.

"Rosie..." Seeing that Doflamingo's face was livid, Xia Lu whispered to Rosindy not to ask any more questions.The latter lowered his head even lower.

After turning many corners, they finally returned to the dilapidated little house. Huo Minggu and his wife sorted out a small dusty bed, and some unstable tables and chairs, thus forming a poor home. .They gave the food they brought back to their mother, who divided it into several portions, enough for them to eat today.

"Rosie, Dover, let's go to the beach and see if we can catch fish." Xia Lu said, pulling the two of them out of the house.

On the beach, several people were looking for food to take back. Rosinindi picked up a few clam-like seafood, and Doflamingo jumped directly into the shallow water to catch fish.Xia Lu was walking by the sea, and felt something hurt her feet, and one of them lost her footing and fell. The knee that was broken in the morning suddenly touched the sea water, and the burning pain spread all over her body in an instant.

"Hiss..." Xia Lu restrained herself from making a sound, but the expression on her face showed that she was in pain standing there.

Rossindi ran over anxiously: "Lulu, you, how did you get hurt? When did you get hurt?"

"It's okay, but I accidentally knocked it in the morning."

Rosinindi helped Xia Lu up, and at this moment Doflamingo also ran over with a fish in his arms. Seeing this, he said, "Why are you always so clumsy?" Xia Lu frowned, then Still have the energy to refute him.The next second, Doflamingo threw the fish in his hand to Rossindi, picked up Xia Lu and walked back, Xia Lu heard him say another sentence: "You're so stupid, don't let your mother see you when you go back. She'll be worried."

In his arms, Xia Lu secretly smiled, this invincible young master Tianlong only respects and loves his mother very much, he is not so bad and hopeless.

This kind of life lasted for several months, and finally, when the three of them went to the town to steal things again, they were discovered.Doflamingo stole two clothes and some food, ran into the shopkeeper as he ran out the door, threw the things at the man, and ran away.Luo Xindi and Xia Lu who were hiding soon were also found, and the three fled desperately, but they were still chased by a few gangsters.Doflamingo protected Xia Lu, who was two heads shorter than himself, and the gangsters picked up sticks and beat Doflamingo and Rosindi mercilessly.

"Damn thief! Let you steal again! Kill you!" The movements of those people's hands became more and more ruthless, and they kept swearing.

I don't know how long it took, but Doflamingo was numb to the pain, and those few left contentedly.Doflamingo turned over and lay on the ground, his head was still bleeding, but he still held half a piece of bread tightly in his hand.Xia Lu got up to check the injuries of the two, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Dover, Rossi, are you okay..." Xia Lu pushed the two of them lightly.

After a long time, I heard Rosindi's low sobs and Doflamingo's forbearing words: "Father, since I was born, this is the first time I feel hungry. It is the first time I understand the real pain. Feeling." This sentence was said by him lying on the ground and facing the sky, Xia Lu understood that he was resenting Huo Minggu's original decision.

"Hey! You thieves, this is my territory!" A ten-year-old gangster led a group of children of about the same age and surrounded the three of them: "Since it is on our territory, the things you stole It shall be ours."

The visitor was not kind, and the three immediately stood up with difficulty.

"Go away!" Doflamingo yelled.

"Boy, you don't know the rules too much, hit me!" After finishing speaking, there was another burst of sticks: "Today, I will teach you the rules that you should learn in my territory!"

"Brother, it hurts so much, brother..." Rosindi cried hysterically, while Doflamingo protected Xia Lu, while blocking the children who were beating Rosindi.

"See how long you can be tough?" The gangster in the lead raised an awl and stabbed at Doflamingo!

"Dover! Don't!" This time, Xia Lu finally protected him once, allowing the sharp awl to pierce her back.

"Xia Lu!!"

"Lulu!!"

After a long time, those gangsters relieved their anger and walked away triumphantly.It's just that Xia Lu was seriously injured by that awl.The helpless brothers could only temporarily stop the bleeding and bandage the wound.Doflamingo also ventured back to town again to steal the medicine.

Afterwards, the three of them went back to the dilapidated log cabin with injuries all over their bodies, and kept the matter of being beaten and injured from their parents.At this time, I saw Huo Minggu holding the phone bug and asking for help from other Tianlong people in Marie Gioia.However, the phone worms showed expressions of contempt and disdain: "This was all your own decision back then, don't come to us for help now, get out of Marie Gioia forever, you lowly commoner!"

"I beg you, even if I let my wife and children go back to Mary Gioia! Please..." Huo Minggu said desperately and helplessly to the phone bug, but the other party hung up the phone bug directly.No matter how humbly he begged, those Celestial Dragons showed no sympathy.He didn't tell his wife and children that when he called Badroz for help, not only did he not get help, but he heard about Badroz's request to withdraw the engagement, and even said that he would bring Xia Lu back to Mary Gioia.Doflamingo stood behind a broken curtain, lifted it up with one hand, his small body was hidden in the darkness, and looked coldly at this incompetent father.

There was another heavy rain at night, and the wind was blowing fiercely. This small house could not bear such wind and rain at all. Either the wind came in here or the water leaked there.That cold little bed can't occupy a few people at all.So only Madame Don Quixote and Xia Lu slept in the bed.The next day, the two brothers still went to the town to look for food and let the injured Xia Lu rest at home. They didn't come back until noon, and Mrs. Don Quixote hadn't gotten up until now.Xia Lu went to caress his wife's forehead, it was very hot, probably because of the heavy wind and rain last night, she caught a cold.In fact, Madam's health was not very good when she was in Marie Gioia, and now she is living such a life of wandering and deprivation, her body is even weaker.

"What to do, father, mother, she has a fever." Rossindi ran to Huo Minggu.

This kind-hearted man felt such helplessness for the first time. If he hadn't insisted on moving out of Marie Gioia at that time, he wouldn't have caused his family to suffer like this. In fact, he already regretted it.In the afternoon, Madam woke up in a daze, but she was coughing non-stop, and Xia Lu was always by her side.

"Mother!" The three children surrounded Mrs. Don Quixote.Rosindi took her mother's hand, hoping to give her more warmth, and praying that she would get better soon.Later, because the wife's condition did not improve at all, it became more and more serious.It was a rare day when the weather was sunny and sunny, Xia Lu supported his wife and planned to take her for a walk on the beach closest to here.

"Lulu, I'm really sorry for you." Madam felt guilty: "Originally, you could continue to stay in the Holy Land Marie Gioia, and you don't have to live such a life of living and sleeping in the open."

"Mother, don't say that, I'd rather be with you than Holy Land Mary Gioia."

Mrs. Don Quixote held Xia Lu's hand with her own bloodless hand: "Lu Lu, actually, I can feel, maybe, I mean maybe, my body won't last long." Having said that, She looked worried and regretful.

"Mother, you will definitely get better, definitely." Xia Lu understood what Madam said in her heart, but she also had a bad premonition, but she didn't want to admit it, and she didn't dare to admit it.

At this moment, Madam smiled, seeing the flamingo pendant hanging around Xia Lu's neck, she knew it was a gift from Doflamingo: "Lu Lu, I want to ask you one thing."

"Mother, please tell me." Xia Lu made a gesture of listening attentively.

The lady paused, and said: "If I'm not here someday, please help me take care of Dover. He is the child I worry about the most. He is stubborn by nature, and he is not as obedient as Rossi. Please be more tolerant of him."

Hearing Madam say this, Xia Lu felt very awkward.It's a bit like when a mother-in-law is educating her daughter-in-law, but after thinking about it carefully, she is indeed Doflamingo's fiancée herself.

"Yes, I will." Xia Lu took Mrs. Don Quixote's hand with more force.She didn't want the life of such a beautiful and kind woman to wither like this.
