Frevans,

Once as beautiful as a 'fairy tale of ice and snow', the country has now been ravaged by war.

Like most countries: Frévance faces the sea on one side and borders other countries on the other. However, when the royal family fled, they took all the ships with them, leaving Frevans to communicate with other countries by land.

When they heard of the outbreak of 'Perpe's lead disease' that had swept the whole country, the three surrounding countries immediately put up barbed wire on the border and sent a large number of troops to seal it off.

"Don't shoot!

”

A gray-haired old man was holding a red cross flag on a white background representing the 'doctor', and wearing a white lab coat, approaching the barbed wire.

"Stop—"

On the other side of the barbed wire, a large number of soldiers in gas masks and wrapped in protective suits pointed flintlock pistols at him and shouted angrily, as if he were some kind of flood beast.

"Listen to me, Stavanger soldiers!"

The old doctor stood in front of the barbed wire, and tried to persuade the other party hoarsely:

"Perp lead disease is not a contagious disease, but a mixture of radioactive elements caused by dust—"

Bang!

A lead bullet slammed into his feet, instantly blasting a fist-sized hole, and the flying rubble nearly knocked the old doctor over, causing blood to seep out of his trouser leg.

"Go back!"

He was answered by the cold orders of the opposing officer.

"Wait, I'm not asking you to accept us, but now that Frevans is short of serum and medicine, can you-"

Bang!

"Ah~~"

This time, buckshot pierced the old doctor's chest, knocking him to the ground, and the white flag with a red cross fell to the dust.

"Dr. Gelman?!"

"Bastards, those Stavanger soldiers are brutes!"

"Since they won't let us pass, let's kill them and make a way out for our families!

”

Behind the old doctor who had fallen to the ground, the people of Frevans, who had their knives and guns clenched, their eyes red, their pale skin and hair growing stranger and more desperate.

"Kill—"

With a roar, the Frevans civilians charged towards the barbed wire. It doesn't matter who they were: restaurateurs, ordinary workers, painters, scholars, policemen... Now they all have only one identity.

A soldier who fights hard for himself and for his family.

In the face of these Frévans in different clothes, men, women and children, all of whom were charging with flintlock pistols and red eyes, the soldiers in gas masks on the other side of the barbed wire could not help but stir.

"Shoot!"

The army standing in front of the team gave a cold order, raised the weapon in his hand and continued to shout angrily:

"Think of your family, think of our country. - Do you want these monsters to spread the 'Perp Disease' to their hometowns? ”

Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even many professional doctors and scholars, they all think that 'Perp lead disease' is a virulent infectious disease. So:

In the next second, a dense burst of gunfire rang out!

The charging Frevans fell like weeds: armed with weapons, ordinary people were clearly no match for professional soldiers.

Both sides are fighting for 'justice' and 'family', and they cannot and will never back down!

"This is not justice!"

Woowoo woo –

A terrible wind howled across the battlefield, and in the face of this terrible natural disaster, it was very difficult for the people on both sides to just lie on their stomachs on the ground, not to let alone kill, to prevent themselves from being blown away.

In the sky, a man in a dark green robe looked down on all this, his serious face could not see joy and sorrow, and anger was hidden in the black children's holes.

"This is not justice..."

Frevans Hospital No. 1,

It was the largest hospital in Frevans, with a seven-story building that was once the most revered place in the country, with its large arched windows and triangular roof, and red cross on the roof.

But now:

"Doctor... Doctor! ”

"Ahem, I don't want to die, help me!

”

"Please, even if it's just to save my child—"

A large number of ordinary people clung to the closed fence of the hospital and begged, and even the mother who held the child kept kowtowing, but the child in her arms had long been pale and had lost his breath.

It's not that doctors don't want to treat them, it's that:

"Ahem, dear. I've run out of medicine and serum..."

The female nurse, who also had white patches on her face, stumbled through the door and entered the doctor's office, while her husband was lashing out at the person across from the phone bug.

"Ahem, there must be a way to get 'Per Lead' out of the body!"

"It's not some contagion, and the world government is well aware of it! Ahem, why don't you clarify, answer me-"

However, the answer to him was:

Blu Blu Blu,

"Hey! Feed? Bastard, don't hang up the phone bug, answer me, bastard!

”

Ahem cough cough –

Finally, the angry male doctor covered his mouth and coughed violently, and the white filamentous blood in his palm made his eyes darken.

"My time, my dear... Not much. ”

"It's okay,"

The female nurse gently holds her husband, and it is enough for her to be able to know the man in front of her in this life. But—

"Ahem, what about Rowe and Rami?"

They were the best doctors and nurses in Frevance, and then even they were helpless, watching their daughter fall ill, and comforting their son with a smile on their faces every day. They cannot fall, even if only for the sake of their children.

"Rami · It's almost the limit. ”

"I've told Rowe to go to the docks and leave with the kids in the church."

The male doctor held his wife in his arms and closed his eyes reluctantly.

"I'm sorry, I'm a useless man."

A dignified doctor, but he can't even cure his wife and children!

"It's not your fault, who would have thought of the royal family and the world government... Ahem, forget it, maybe this is the fate of us ordinary people, right? ”

And at this time, the dock:

"Woo woo~~"

"Grandpa, sister, home... It's all gone! ”

"Mom and Dad are dead, but they want me to live, and I must not die!"

A large group of children gathered here, everyone with tears and snot, and the death of their loved ones forced them to be strong and mature, because those who were not mature and strong enough were already dead.

"Luo, come with us."

The woman in a black nun dress with a cross on her chest gently crouched down and touched the little boy with a fluffy winter fur hat with leopard spots.

"The world government promised to send refugee boats,"

"Do not give up hope, for God's merciful redemption will take hold of thy hand."

At the words of the nun of the church school, who was also a teacher, the young Trafalgar Rowe shook his head.

"I can't leave Rami behind."

My sister is still seriously ill in bed, and Luo naturally can't let it go.

At this moment, a ship flying the flag of the world government approached at a rapid pace, giving the crying children on the shore a ray of hope.

Just get on this ship and leave this country that is about to perish.

You can live!

However, as the huge warship approached, what appeared on the deck was:

Heavily armed agents, and the dense pitch-black muzzles of guns aimed at the dock kids.

"Wait... Wait a minute! ”

The nun stretched out her arms in front of the children behind her, and then how much could her thin body block?

"Didn't you say okay, let the children live?!"

Faced with the nun's questioning, the agents wearing gas masks on the deck only replied coldly:

"The order we received was to kill the Frevans infected who had gathered at the docks."

？！

"How... So..."

Don't you even want your children to live a few more days?

"God... O God! ”

The angry nun clenched the cross around her neck in despair, looked up and asked:

"Thou hast loved the world, so much so that thou hast given thy only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in thee shall not perish but have eternal life."

"I don't want eternal life, please give these children a glimmer of hope—"

"Shoot."

It's a pity that there is no god in the world, so naturally I can't hear her prayers or shouts.

Bang bang!

！

Intensive gunfire rang out at the docks, and just as the nun closed her eyes in despair, a burst of arrogant laughter rang out.

"Everyverford, why does God do miracles for you ordinary people?"

？？？

In the eyes of the nuns who opened their eyes, and the stunned children on the docks, the ship's agents turned their guns on their colleagues, and their heads exploded and fell in the burst of gunpowder and blood splattered.

And in the bloody rain, a man in a pink coat, a black suit, a red tie, and red sunglasses stood on the side of the warship.

"I like the look in your eyes—"

Dover's gaze under his sunglasses fell on those children: hatred, stubbornness, anger, madness... It's very similar to him many years ago.

"I'm Doflamingo of the Don Quixote family!"

"God has not answered your prayers, but I, the devil, am willing to give you a chance:"

"Join my family, I will train you in the skills of fighting, give you the power of revenge, you will kill, and you will be killed! But at least—"

Dover spread his arms, and the corpses of the entire deck behind him were even more sinister. The red sunglasses are reflected in the child's hole of every child, and the prudent promise:

"Today will not be your time of death!"

···

"I'm joining!"

"Me too, just killing—"

"Bastard! Revenge, revenge on the royal family who abandoned me, revenge on the world government! ”

A group of children clenched their fists, they were able to survive the chaos of Frevans until now, and to say a nasty word, they had already seen death and killing. Coupled with the actions of the world government that were ready to kill them just now:

"Give us weapons, you can kill anyone!"

"At least a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood before you die!

”

"Kids..."

The up-and-down nun touched the tears on her face, trying to calm down the students behind her, but even she couldn't say the words 'repay the grievances with virtue'.

At this moment, a voice rang out, suppressing the frantic cries of the children.

"Bad luck is everywhere, and someone will always run into it, and it just so happens to be your turn. You stood in the way of the hurricane, but you didn't expect the storm to blow so hard. ”

Rosie, dressed in a black feather coat, appeared on the dock, white casual clothes, gentle and handsome face, and unhurried words had a reassuring appeal.

"But I hope that one day, you will be able to laugh and say the things that used to make you sad."

With that, Rosie walked through the group of children and stood in front of the little boy at the back of the line.

"Kid, do you want to leave with us?"

"I'm sorry, my sister..."

By the time Trafalgar Rowe opened his mouth to refuse, Rossi had already bent down and lifted him up.

"Then take your sister with you and show me the way."

———

Frevans Hospital No. 1,

"Woo~~"

"Dad, Mom, it's so painful..."

"Ahem, it's okay, Rammy, you'll ... Ahem, it's getting better. ”

Facing the little girl lying on the hospital bed, the male doctor who was suffering from severe pain injected painkillers into the child's body, while his wife, who was already leaning against the wall next to her, was trembling.

"I'm going to find a way to get rid of the 'Per Lead Toxin', definitely-"

Although his words were firm, the silent tears that fell spoke of his powerlessness. It's not medicine anymore... At least not something he could do with his medical skills.

"Yes,"

？

"There is a way to get rid of the 'perpetoxin'."

？！

"Who, ahem!

”

The male doctor who turned around suddenly saw a man in a black feather coat, and what he was carrying:

"Luo?"

"Father, this... Members of the Don Quixote family were willing to take the child out of Frévans. ”

Luo, who was put down by Rosie, hurriedly threw himself on the hospital bed, first glanced at his sister, and then hurriedly rushed to the young female nurse next to him to ask with concern.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Ahem... I'm fine,"

Opening her eyes weakly, the woman smiled softly, then turned to look at Rosie.

"Thank you... Your Excellency... And... What you just said..."

"There is a way to get rid of the 'Per Lead Poison', but it requires the help of the Devil Fruit's ability: I am inquiring about the whereabouts of that fruit, and I believe it will not be long before there is news."

Without waiting for Luo's parents to ask, Rosie directly said what they wanted to know.

"However, the two of you may not be able to wait for that time."

"Ahem, that's right..."

Luo's father also smiled weakly, they are doctors, and they naturally know very well that they are terminally ill and have to endure severe pain every day, if it weren't for the two children, they would have chosen to commit suicide like many people who can't stand it.

"Luo, take Rami with you."

？

"Father, mother—"

"You know our physical condition, so let's get rid of it."

Facing his parents who no longer suppressed the severe pain and his face twitched, Luo, who had studied medicine with his parents since he was a child, naturally knew very well that his parents had reached the limit.

"Yes, take care."

Gritting his teeth and carrying his sister who had fallen asleep on the hospital bed because of painkillers, Luo Qiang walked out of this room step by step with tears in his eyes.

Now is not the time to be willful,

He's an older brother, so he has to protect his sister!

The world government can kill them, and the Don Quixote family can torture and kill the people of the world government at will, no matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with 'soft-heartedness', as long as you can save your sister... I'm sorry, father, mother.

···

When Luo left with his sister Rami on his back, Rossi turned to look at the man and woman sitting in front of the wall and snapped his fingers.

"Rest assured,"

"Your son will become a powerful man on the sea in the future, so I will take care of him, and his sister will not give up. - Assume this is a prophecy of some kind of magical devil fruit. ”

"Really? Very··· Thanks..."

Although I don't know how true the words of this mysterious person are, even if it is just a lie, it makes the dying doctor smile for the last time in his life.

"Ro... Please. ”

After speaking, the man clenched the cold hand of the woman next to him and leaned on the other party.

The two men interlocked their fingers and snuggled up to each other as if they were asleep.

"Good night,"

Rossi nodded slightly to the two of them and turned to leave.

Dead people, naturally, will not leak secrets.
