Chapter Eighty-Six: Full of Future
"In other words, the "Childlike Fruit" is already in your hands?"
Through the telex insect Qiubai, he couldn't accurately feel Doflamingo's emotions at this time, but he thought it shouldn't be bad, after all, he had completed the task on his side.
In terms of input-output ratios, Doflamingo has no reason to be dissatisfied.
"Yes, but although the fruit is in hand, there is something wrong in the process...... It's my personal problem, I was slightly injured in the fight for the fruit, and combined with the naval and Vladimir blockade, our return to the family was delayed. Qiubai said very calmly, even if the person who lied was someone like Doflamingo, he couldn't feel any nervousness in his tone.
"Yes, I've seen the news of the Paz riots, but I didn't expect you to be injured, that's terrible...... It doesn't matter if the event is a little later, as long as the fruit is in hand. ”
Dover politely expressed his concern for his subordinates who were injured in the line of duty, and he didn't feel the slightest kindness when he heard it, but it didn't matter to Qiubai, his purpose was to stay here for a while.
After cutting off the call, Qiu Bai picked up the childlike fruit in his hand and looked at it carefully...... After cleaning, it can be found that his previous worries were a little unnecessary, the fruit was only stained with a layer of dust in the explosion, and it did not become a cooked product.
However, it didn't matter if it was ripe, and Dover's mission didn't limit him to saying anything like "you must bring back the raw fruit".
What happened in that small town before was an accident for Qiu Bai, but now it has become part of his plan.
After the pirate captain was shot in the head, his men scattered and fled.
As for the scattered enemies, Qiu Bai did not pursue them relentlessly, as he said before, he had no reason to punish these pirates.
As for Qiubai's persecution of Allen, in that case, it should be said that his behavior was brutal and outrageous, but from another point of view, what he did should actually be called "damn gentleness".
At least for Allen, he should be full of gratitude to Qiubai.
This kind of gratitude is different from the "gratitude" that the townspeople have for Qiubai after the pirates escaped. Because the latter kind of gratitude is only superficial, in fact, the residents have a good impression of this young man who has the ability to drive out the pirates but sits idly by and watches the hostages be killed.
What's more, Dou Mien and Sheng Mi Qiu are extremely normal thoughts of ordinary people, "If you can save us completely, why didn't you do it in the first place?" ”
"You can completely deal with the pirates, why let them go?"
This kind of reproach and resentment actually haunted everyone's psyche, and even their bad feelings for Qiubai were above the group of pirates.
This kind of thinking is similar to a poor ghost who has always secretly hated a certain rich man, since you have 10 billion, why can't you give me 1 million? It's just a drizzle......
The reason is that it is not related to you, why should you give you a million? Just for the sake of so-called gratitude?
The same is true for Qiubai, he is just a pirate and not a navy, so he does not have that level of goodwill towards "passers-by", let alone an obligation to protect them.
The reason why the residents of this town "don't provoke" or "force their faces to laugh" is because they feel that this young man in front of them is much more terrifying than the pirates through what they have just encountered...... Forcing such a kid to shoot a pirate in the head was too impressive.
Autumn white is no different from the demon in their eyes.
After the pirates fled the town, Qiubai's first action was to get the town's doctor out and let him deal with Allen urgently, and by the time Allen's vital signs had settled down a little, the porter Peibo had already arrived here.
So after the group merged, Qiubai changed their original plan, and they couldn't stay here any longer, so they left the town and went to the other islands in the group......
Even if there is no kind of person who "takes revenge" and reports the brutal acts of Qiubai, a "suspicious person", to the navy, the navy will definitely come after what happened in the town is dealt with on the main island.
Qiubai didn't want to have anything to do with them for the time being.
Therefore, the location where Qiubai is located now is actually a small uninhabited island.
What he said to Doflamingo was not all lies, such a large-scale turmoil under the nose of the navy could be said to be a great gaffe of the navy and even the world government, and the navy, which felt that it was slapped in the face, was of course angry, and at this time there were a large number of warships wandering around this sea area, and they would not be soft on suspicious targets.
So now is really not a good time to go to sea.
"Qiubai, he's awake."
Just as Qiubai was thinking about something, Ain walked up to him and said.
"Really? Then go check it out. Qiubai handed her the Devil Fruit, and walked to the place where they were hiding, a cave that was still quite large.
"By the way, Ain......" After taking a few steps, Qiubai suddenly stopped again......
"Happy New Year."
“…… Happy New Year. ”
Just in the process of talking to Doflamingo, Qiubai realized that the new year had been turned over by the Haiyuan calendar, and the year 1507 had already arrived.
In terms of biological age, Qiubai has reached the miraculous age of sixteen, and according to some laws, if he commits some crime in the future, he should bear full criminal responsibility...... He had said goodbye to the period known as the "Bear Child".
However, Qiubai remembered that there was a great goddess in the "Cthulhu Mythos" who once said a famous saying - "As long as you don't get discovered, how can it be considered a crime", so he won't stop, no matter what he does, as long as he doesn't get discovered...... No, it should be said that as long as you don't get caught.
has nothing to do with age, Qiubai will still "go his own way...... Life lies in tossing, and the core of tossing is in death.
"Where's Pebo?" After entering the cave, Qiubai found that Peibo, the janitor, was not here.
"The hunt went...... Right? Aine wasn't sure, but she was telling the truth, on this island, the Fauvist Peibo was responsible for providing the ingredients for breakfast, dinner, and lunch.
So he's busy.
Ignoring his white bear, after Qiubai walked to the place where Allen was lying, he found that he really had his eyes open, but that look showed that his mental state was terrible to a certain extent.
"Brother Qiu...... Thank you. ”
He didn't speak very well, but this kind of speech showed that although Allen's state was bad, he was not going to collapse...... This is good enough for him, who has just endured the "unbearable weight of life".
"Well, but ......"
Qiubai had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.
"That Pirate Captain ......"
"Dead, you shot yourself."
It was his own gun, and he didn't need Qiubai to say that Allen could vaguely remember it, and after a little silence, he said:
"Brother Qiu...... Are you also a pirate? ”
"Sort of, but...... Whether it's pirates or the navy, in this period known as the 'Age of Pirates', do you know what the most important thing is - the ability to protect yourself, not to say that everyone is untrustworthy, but your own ability is indispensable, because no matter what problems you encounter, what is the first choice you face? ”
"It's on your own."
These words may not have been understood by Allen before, but they make perfect sense to Allen now, although the understanding and growth process he lived with was a bit cruel.
It doesn't matter if Qiu Bai admits that he is a pirate, it won't happen to Allen that he joined the navy because his father died at the hands of pirates, don't forget his origins, and why he crossed the wind and brought him to the North Sea - his bad feelings for the world government and the navy were still 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 Qiubai says, let him rely on himself, but in fact, Allen has no ability to protect himself.
He didn't know what he should do, what he shouldn't talk about life at this age, but Allren was at a loss for the future.
So, there is no need to discuss anything, now Qiubai has to tell him directly what to do.
"Now...... Don't think too much about it, in short, the first goal is to get back the lost hands and feet first. ”
"Lost ...... Can it be recovered? ”
Even if it is a fantasy, there is a silver lining, so Allen's tone is different.
"Don't get excited, get your siblings back...... To put it simply, there are two ways, one is that you can do nothing, wait for three or five years, and I will naturally bring you the kind of person who can restore you to the kind of person you used to be. ”
If you use the "fruit of surgery" for limb grafting surgery, it is simply too easy, so Qiubai's statement is actually waiting for Trafalgar Rowe.
"The other method is a bit more complicated, and you can find the fulcrum back on your own without relying on others, but the process is more difficult and can take longer...... So, now you're going to make a choice. ”
"I choose...... The second. With little hesitation, Allen stepped into Qiubai's trap.
"Well, a wise choice...... Have you ever heard of a place on the Great Voyage called "Balkimoa, the Kingdom of the Future"? ”
