In the past, Doflamingo didn't pay attention to the other pirates in the North Sea, and whether the existence of the Komodo pirates was destroyed or destroyed, he didn't think it would have any impact on his plans, but it wasn't the case.

The timing was so wrong that the Navy's attention was drawn when Dover least wanted it, at least now that Vice Admiral Crane was back in the closing pursuit of Don Quixote.

As a result, Qiubai told a rather philosophical truth with his own personal experience...... The world is universally connected.

In the North Sea, the pirate ship Miss Rab Daku...... Translated as Miss Duck, Doflamingo's fancy and coquettish pirate ship.

"Spotted ships approaching! Be prepared to meet the ...... No, remove the alert, own people. ”

The announcement from the watchtower had changed, as the boat approaching was flying Don Quixote's pirate flag, and more importantly, the three people who appeared in the telescope were unusually familiar.

"Inform Lord Torrepol that the cadres have returned."

The two cadres who had been away from the family for quite some time to carry out "confidential" missions finally returned at this time.

The boat slowly approached the side of the pirate ship, and the ladder was released.

Pei Bo carried Qiubai and Ain behind him, and climbed up one after the other.

At this time, the family cadres led by Doflamingo were already waiting on the deck, and although there was nothing exaggerated such as the "return welcome ceremony", at least the attitude should be expressed.

They're a "family", aren't they? Although Qiubai felt unusually ironic at this moment, this "scene" was still necessary.

"Dover, everyone...... We're back. Qiubai's face peeked out from one of Peibo's shoulders, and his face was smiling.

“…… Great work. ”

After dozens of seconds of silence, Dover finally said these words in a deep and calm voice.

From Meow Galapas, to crossing the Upside Down Mountain into the East China Sea, to the Great Voyage, finally returning to the North Sea, being attacked by the Komodo Pirates and then "fighting back", plus a short period of recuperation, he returned to his family, and left at the end of 1506, and by now, it is almost the end of 1507.

Although most of the time consumed is a peaceful voyage, there are several serious incidents, but is it just hard work?

However, Qiubai was not dissatisfied, anyway, he never served Doflamingo wholeheartedly.

At this time, Ain took a few steps forward, walked in front of Dover, and handed over a strange fruit.

"As a result, all we brought back was the childlike fruit, and as for the mermaid...... I'm so sorry for the failure. ”

Doflamingo took the Devil Fruit with one hand, and held it high into the sun as if he were discerning the authenticity of a banknote.

"Mermaid thing...... It can only be said that it is very, very regrettable, but it is nice to be able to escape from the Fish-Man Pirates, the Fish-People have always been very rude to humans, especially to their kind, and they probably don't realize that this is one of the reasons why their race is feared by humans as 'beasts'......"

"What's more, no matter what fallacies appear in the middle, after defeating the Komodo Pirates by themselves, they can be completely erased."

As he spoke, as if he had verified the authenticity of the Devil Fruit, he took his hand back...... Judging from his attitude, it seems that he doesn't feel anything else, and the above words are all from his heart.

"Now, I'm impressed, how did you do that kind of thing with your strength? I'm quite curious, no matter how you think about the pirates with a bounty of 200 million, they are no match for you to deal with. Torrebol had a crystal clear goo like jelly on his nose, and then pulled his big face over.

"To be honest, I don't know how I did it, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this." Qiubai responded with a stupid gesture, "But, for Don Quixote, 'an eye for an eye' is inevitable, isn't it?" That's all I had in mind. ”

Qiubai's state of serious injury at this time belongs to the level that everyone can "pinch their noses" and reluctantly accept after touching that kind of thing, if he comes back with nothing after killing Komodo, it is really unacceptable.

It is precisely because of this reason that Qiubai did not ask Ain to retire himself to a young state, first, because regression is only a temporary measure, and it will not solve the problem, once the ability is lifted, he will still be seriously injured as much as he wants, and secondly, it is more than two, just a simple sale to Doflamingo.

Create a heroic image of fighting for the family...... It's probably impossible, but his current appearance can at least add points.

"Anyway, your performance is above my expectations, maybe I can give you more important tasks in the future, hurry up and heal the injury, we will have a big move in the near future." Doflamingo even patted Autumn White on the shoulder, which made the latter grin.

This sentence is half-true and half-false, Dover probably won't let Qiu Bai do anything alone in the future, but Qiu Bai's previous performance is indeed above his expectations, Dover originally thought that in the face of an enemy like Komodo, Qiu Bai was tortured and killed was the most likely result, and the best result was just a hasty escape, but the fact was too unexpected for him.

Even if Qiu Bai only broke out in an instant to gain the power to defeat the Komodo Pirates, such explosive power can be expected for a moment in some cases.

But in any case, the biggest problem facing Qiubai at this time is to recover his health as soon as possible.

So although it was a "reunion after a long absence", Qiubai needed "recuperation", so the conversation or greeting between him and Dover was not long, and the next thing he faced was a comprehensive physical examination of the medical workers on board.

Perhaps the result of this diagnosis was also what Doflamingo needed, on the one hand, he could confirm the "real" condition of the battle at that time based on Qiubai's injuries, and on the other hand, he would have to determine whether the state of serious injuries would have any lifelong adverse effects on this "excellent" subordinate.

Suppose he has the misfortune to have symptoms such as hemiplegia...... Well, in short, the laws of the pirate world are cruel, and the attitude towards valuable subordinates and worthless subordinates cannot be the same.

What determines how Doflamingo will treat Qiubai in the future is not in a sense what he has done before, but whether he can play a role in the future.

Of course, there is actually nothing to worry about, although it is miserable, but there is nothing wrong with Qiubai......

Probably not.
