The bathroom was filled with smoke.

In the ignorance, you can see a teenager curled up in a corner of the not-so-spacious pool.

At this time, he should have been in the bathroom with Stella, and as a close attendant, of course, he should accompany him in the bath.

However, their previous conversation made Gal a little uncomfortable, so he left Stella out the door.

"Bo Bo Bo~"

Knock –

"Moximoxi, this is Stussy, Queen of Joy Street."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gar, who was hugging his legs and curled up in a ball, relaxed a little, and the strength of his arms was also slightly reduced.

He understood Stussy's code words, which meant that it was inconvenient to speak now.

If no one was around, her answer would have been—"Mossi Moxi, this is Stussy." ”

This is a code to contact the world government, except for that side, and he knows about it.

Garr took a breath, calming his emotions and allowing himself to speak as calmly as he could.

"Sister, it's me."

The phone-bug's frivolous and casual expression disappeared, and the voice was silent for a while.

He waited quietly, knowing that the other party was looking for a place to speak.

It didn't take long for the other party's calm voice to come from the phone bug.

"What's wrong Xiaobai, what's going on?"

"Where are you now, do you need me to find you?"

Although the tone of the other party did not change at all, it was as emotionless as a report.

However, the coherent inquiries from that side clearly showed the worry on the other side of the phone bug.

Obviously, she didn't say anything, just said hello, and she noticed that she was not in a good state.

At the moment before he connected the phone, he still felt that as long as the other party opened his mouth, he would definitely tease him about what happened yesterday!?

Sure enough, has it always been his self-righteousness?

He thought that Stussy had a purpose in mind; He thought that Stella was the one who was close to him and believed in him.

"Sister, I'm at sea..."

Then Gal told him what he had said in the morning, about Doflamingo.

The phone bug was silent for a long time.

He knew that Stussy, as a CP0, had been engraved in his mind since he was a child.

So like this, using it between the world government and the pirates, it can be said that it is a matter of fire, and Stussy is likely to oppose it.

"If things really go the way you think, you can really get the most out of the shortest time, but!"

Stussy's tone was somewhat serious.

"In this way, I'm afraid, in the eyes of the world government, we will no longer be loyal tools, do you understand this?"

Gal was glad to hear that.

Stussy said: World government, we.

Although in the eyes of the world government, he has always been bound to Stussy, but when this comes out of Stussy himself, the effect is really different.

It warms people's hearts.

"That's fine, as long as we're still valuable, they won't touch us."

There were other things that he didn't fail to say.

For example, the world government may be doomed.

Stussy, who was secretive about the world government, certainly couldn't believe such a thing.

And that's more than a decade later.

"Then you just do it."

Gal was like a good baby: "Hmm. ”

"I guess there's something you haven't told me yet, right?" Stussy was as sharp as ever.

Gal hesitated, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Stella, she... She seemed to be afraid of me. ”

“......”

"Sister?"

“... Ahem, what's wrong, what's going on? ”

Gal felt that the other party's tone was a little strange, but he didn't think much of it, and recounted what had just happened.

“......”

There was another long silence, with the occasional sound of the wall collapsing.

With 12 years of knowing Stussy, Gal is sure that the other side is angry.

Although he was a little cowardly, he still asked tentatively, "Sister?" ”

"It's nothing~only a little emotional~" The phone bug's expression returned to his usual smile.

The voice was also leisurely, but listening to his ears, he somehow felt a little chill down his spine.

The sound of the phone bug did not stop.

"It's really amazing, Xiaobai~ After all, he has just grown into a man, and he still has a big battle that lasts for a day and a night, so he can't wait to hunt for new prey~"

Listening to the other party's coquettish tone, he didn't dare to speak.

"Isn't it sister, I was too gentle last time? Ah~ That's right, after all, he is a young man with strong blood, and he is full of energy~"

Garr: "......"

"Where are you now?"

Gal shrunk back and said nothing.

"It's useless not to say it, I have your life paper, see you tomorrow!"

He hurriedly spoke: "I'll be to Mary Joy's sister soon." ”

Stussy: "......"

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Stussy: "Stuys Ghal!! ”

Somehow, hearing the angry voice of the other party gritting his teeth, he was not afraid, and he felt relieved.

Stussy, as an undercover CP0, cannot return to Mary Joy at will without an order from the government.

Gal felt that he might not be able to beat the other party in a short time, after all, his physical development limited him, so he decided to take the lead in a wave.

"Sister, my name is Xiaobai."

Because when he swallowed the Devil Fruit, he couldn't control the power, and he was completely beastificent, turning into a small white milk dog with wings, and was later discovered by Stussy, and killed all the people present.

Since then, Stussy has always called him Xiaobai, and only she called him that.

Oh, there used to be a beautiful big sister, the kind with a husband, who was also called that. Later, the funeral of the eldest sister was lively, and the husband hugged her left and right.

Stussy on the phone bug doesn't eat this at all.

"Don't let me catch you, Szis Garr!"

He hurriedly remedied: "Sister, call me..."

Click-phone bug hangs up,

"Xiaobai..."

"Alas~" sighed, he was a little sore.

How did things become like this~

But the mood did change a little better.

In the era of pirates, everyone was at risk, moral standards were infinitely lowered, and everything had to be compromised for survival.

Death, intrigue, betrayal... Everywhere.

You can't survive alone in this sea.

Therefore, every family member will be precious.

All the while, he felt that Stella had accepted himself until today...

Gal was a little autistic: "So for her, staying with me is also a job that can't be shirked?" ”

"Should... No way? ”

In all fairness, after all these years, Gal can still feel Stella's intentions for him.

Assume this.

The two bathed and slept together for nearly ten years.

What would Stella do if she wasn't going to sleep with him tonight?

Gal had a vague guess in his mind.

After getting up and wiping it briefly, he put on a bath towel and walked out of the room.
