Pirate Alliance

"In other words, the "Fruit of Childhood Interest" is already in your hands? "

Qiubai couldn't accurately feel Doflamingo's emotions at this time through the telex bug, but it shouldn't be bad, after all, he had completed the task here.

In terms of the ratio of input to output, Doflamingo has no reason to be dissatisfied.

"Yes, but although the fruit was obtained, there was a slight problem in the process... It was my personal problem. I was slightly injured when fighting for the fruit, and in addition to the blockade of the navy and Vladimir, so The time for us to return to the family will be delayed." Qiu Bai said calmly, even if the person who lied was Doflamingo, he couldn't feel any tension in his tone.

"That's right, I've seen the news about the riots in Pass, but I didn't expect you to be injured. That's too bad... It doesn't matter if the incident is later, as long as the fruit is in hand."

Dover politely expressed his concern for his subordinates who were injured on duty, which made people not feel the slightest kindness, but it didn't matter to Qiu Bai, his purpose was to stay here for a while That's all.

After cutting off the call, Qiu Bai picked up the childlike fruit in his hand and looked at it carefully... After cleaning, he found that his worries before were a little unnecessary, this fruit was just covered with a layer of dust in the explosion , it did not become a cooked product.

But it doesn't matter even if it's ripe, and Dover's task is not limited to something like "he must bring back the raw fruit".

What happened in that small town before was an unexpected encounter for Qiu Bai, but now it has become a part of his plan.

After the pirate captain was shot in the head, his men scattered and fled.

As for the defeated enemies, Qiu Bai didn't pursue them relentlessly, just like what he said earlier, he had no reason to punish these pirates.

As for Qiubai's persecution of Ellen, in that situation, his behavior should be said to be cruel and heinous, but from another perspective, what he did should actually be called "damn gentle" .

At least for Ellen, he should be very grateful to Qiu Bai.

This kind of gratitude is different from the "gratitude" of the town residents to Qiu Bai after the pirates escaped. Because the latter kind of gratitude is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the residents have a good impression of this young man who is obviously capable of expelling the pirates but sits by and watches the hostages be killed.

What's more, Dou Mien and Sheng Michou are extremely normal thoughts of ordinary people, "If you can completely save us, why didn't you do that in the first place?"

"The pirates can be completely solved, why let them go?"

This kind of blame and resentment actually lingered in everyone's mind, and even their disgust towards Qiu Bai was higher than that group of pirates.

This kind of thinking is similar to a poor ghost who has been secretly hating a certain rich man. Since you have 10 billion, why can't you give me 1 million? Obviously it's just drizzle...

The reason is that it is not relative, why should I give you a million? Just for the so-called gratitude?

The same is true for Qiu Bai, he is just a pirate and not a navy, so he does not have that kind of kindness towards "passers-by", let alone the obligation to protect them.

The reason why the residents of this small town are "uninviting" or "forced to smile" is because they feel that the young man in front of them is much more terrifying than the pirate through the encounter just now...Forcing such a child to shoot the pirate Headshots, it made such an impression on them.

In their eyes, Qiubai was no different from a demon.

After the pirates fled the town, Qiubai's first move was to drag out the doctor in the town and ask him to deal with Ellen urgently. After Ellen's vital signs stabilized, the porter Peibo has already arrived here.

So when all the people meet,

Qiu Bai changed the original plan, and they could no longer stay here, so they left this small town and went to other islands in the island group...

Even if there is no such person who "revenges kindness and revenge" to report Qiu Bai's "suspicious person's brutal behavior" to the navy, the navy will definitely come after what happened in the small town and the matter on the main island is settled.

Qiu Bai doesn't want to have anything to do with them for the time being.

Therefore, the location where Qiu Bai is now is actually a small uninhabited island.

What he said to Doflamingo was not all lies. Such a large-scale turmoil happened under the eyes of the navy. It can be said that it was a big failure of the navy and even the world government. From time to time, a large number of warships are wandering around in this sea area, and they will not be soft on suspicious targets.

So now is really not a good time to go to sea.

"Qiubai, he has woken up."

Just when Qiu Bai was thinking about something, Ai En came to his side and said.

"Really? Then go and have a look." Qiu Bai handed her the devil fruit, and then walked towards their hiding place - a fairly spacious cave.

"By the way, Ai En..." After walking a few steps, Qiu Bai suddenly stopped again...

"Happy New Year."

"……Happy New Year."

During the conversation with Doflamingo just now, Qiubai realized that the Haiyuan calendar has turned a new year, and 1507 has already arrived.

In terms of biological age, Qiubai has reached the magical sixteen years old, and according to certain laws, if he commits any crimes after that, he should bear full criminal responsibility... He and the so-called "bear child" The period has completely said goodbye.

However, Qiubai remembered that a great goddess in "Cthulhu Mythos" once said a famous saying - "As long as you are not discovered, how can it be considered a crime?" So he will not stop, no matter what he does, as long as he is not caught It's fine if you find it... No, it should be fine as long as you don't get caught.

Regardless of age, Qiubai will still "do his own thing"... Life is about tossing, and the core of tossing is to die.

"Where did Peibo go?" After entering the cave, Qiubai found that the gatekeeper Xiong Peibo was not here.

"I went hunting... right?" Ain wasn't too sure, but what she said should be the truth. On this small island, Bebo, the Beastist, was responsible for providing the ingredients for breakfast, dinner, and lunch.

So he is very busy.

Regardless of his own white bear, Qiubai walked to the place where Ellen was lying, and found that his eyes were indeed open, but that look showed that his mental state was bad to a certain extent.

"Brother Qiu...Thank you."

The words are not very smooth, but these words show that although Alan's condition is bad, he will not collapse... This is good enough for him who has just endured the "unbearable weight of life".

"Well, but..."

Qiu Bai had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"That pirate captain..."

"Dead, you shot yourself."

It was shot by himself, and Ellen could vaguely remember it without Qiu Bai saying it. After being silent for a while, he said again:

"Brother Qiu... are you a pirate too?"

"That's right, but...whether it's a pirate or a navy, in this period called the 'Great Pirate Era', do you know what is the most important thing—the ability to protect yourself, not everyone None of them are trustworthy, but your own ability is indispensable, because no matter what problem you encounter, what is the first choice you face?"

"It's on your own."

These words may not have been understood by Ellen before, but they make sense to Ellen now, although the understanding and growth process of his life is a bit cruel.

It doesn't matter if Qiubai admits that he is a pirate. It won't happen to Ellen that he joins the navy just because his father died at the hands of a pirate. Don't forget his origin and why he crossed the calm zone The one who came to the North Sea—his dislike for the world government and the navy was before the pirates.

It's just that the pain now is that he has become a "disabled person" with only one hand and one foot, so no matter what Qiu Bai tells him to rely on himself, Ellen actually has no ability to protect himself.

He didn't know what he should do next, or he shouldn't talk about life at this age, but Ellen's future was already at a loss.

Therefore, there is no need to discuss anything, now Qiu Bai will directly tell him what to do.

"Now...don't think too much. Anyway, the first goal is to get back the lost hands and feet."

"The lost...can I get it back?"

Even in the Arabian Nights, there is a glimmer of hope, so Ellen's tone is different from just now.

"Don't get excited, get back your siblings... To put it simply, there are two ways, one is that you can do nothing, wait for three to five years, and I will naturally restore you to the kind of person you used to be." Bring it to you."

It would be too easy to use the "fruit of surgery" for limb grafting, so what Qiu Bai said was actually just waiting for Trafalgar Law.

"As for the other method, it is more complicated. Without relying on others, you can also rely on your own strength to find the fulcrum to stand up again, but the process is more difficult and it may take longer... So, now you have to do There is a choice."

"I choose... the second one." Without much hesitation, Ellen stepped into Qiu Bai's trap.

"Well, a wise choice... Have you heard of a place called "Future Kingdom Balkimoa" on the great route? "
