Choose to save your father-in-law, King Liku, or choose to give up King Liku and go all out to attack Doflamingo.

Such a dilemma was thrown in front of Cyrus and left him to choose.

"Captain, don't be confused!"

"There's nothing to say to the pirates, let's go shoulder to shoulder and get rid of him!"

"Even if you sacrifice yourself, where is the integrity of that kind of guy?"

"The end result is that all of us want it"

The city defenders were not all of the uninformed soldiers, and some in the crowd immediately shouted to persuade Cyrus to strengthen his convictions.

But before he could finish speaking, one of his companions, who was standing near him, turned around without warning and stabbed him directly in the chest.

Sensing the change in the ranks behind him, Cyrus glanced sideways slightly, and a thick anger flashed in his eyes.

While Cyrus was pondering his choice, there was chaos in the ranks of the city defense army, and nearly half of the city defense army brought by Cyrus suddenly lost control of their bodies, and they all waved their knives at their closest partners.

"Bell!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Stop it! ”

"Ahh

For a moment, the crisp sound of the blade clashing, the urgent warning sound, and the tragic shouts resounded in the ranks of the city defense army.

There were even a few of them brandishing their long knives at this time, and once again rushed towards Cyrus.

In the face of Doflamingo's subordinate Ai, Cyrus couldn't make a heavy hand at all, so he could only quickly dodge and block the opponent's attack under the siege of several people.

Seeing Cyrus moving and dodging with ease under the siege of the "puppet", the corners of Doflamingo's mouth twitched downward, obviously a little unhappy, but soon, his fingers moved slightly, and the manipulated King Liku rushed directly towards the crowd besieging Cyrus at this moment.

King Liku did not participate in the siege of Cyrus at all, but with a sword on the left and a sword on the right, he directly killed the two controlled city defenders.

After killing the two city defenders, Doflamingo let out a chuckle from his mouth, and with a movement of his fingers, several of the city guards who had been besieging Cyrus turned their swords and rushed towards King Liku.

Both sides of the battle were controlled by Doflamingo himself, and the life and death of the soldiers of the city defense army and King Riku were completely controlled by Doflamingo alone.

"What that guard was afraid of just now was that after you died, I would break my promise and kill all of them."

"He advised you to leave King Liku alone, not because he was thinking about you, but simply because he was afraid that your life would be threatened if you died."

"In that case, then I'll put everyone's lives on the Libra pan across from you."

"Mr. Cyrus, as long as you give up resistance."

"Not only King Liku, but also your subordinates can be saved."

"How? I'm giving you pretty generous, right? You alone can save so many people. ”

"Make a decision, Cyrus."

"Otherwise, I don't know how many people will survive in the end!"

At the same time that Doflamingo manipulated the king of Riku and the city guards to fight each other, urging Cyrus to make a decision, several more city guards died under the sword of the king of Riku.

At the same time, the sword wound on King Riku's foot was bleeding from his incessant actions.

Although the human constitution in the One Piece world cannot be inferred by common sense at all, humans will die if they lose too much blood, which is still the same as normal humans.

King Liku's face turned pale, and if he didn't get treatment, he probably wouldn't be able to last long.

"Captain of the Army. Save. Help me! ”

One of the city defenders, who was being manipulated by Doflamingo and was fighting the King of Riku, finally could not bear the threat of death.

Seeing that one after another partners died in front of his eyes, under the sword of King Liku, his psychological defense line was also completely broken by Doflamingo at this moment, and pleaded in a trembling voice.

And the words of this guard also quickly infected the other city defense troops who were attacking each other with their companions.

All of a sudden, the morale of the entire city defense army collapsed.

Cyrus watched this scene coldly, and at such a time, his mind raced to find a way to overcome the predicament in front of him.

And in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the first class he had taken in the naval school in his headquarters.

[The old man and the child are trapped on an island full of beasts at the same time. 】

[Your ship is capable of carrying two people, you have occupied one position, another position, who do you give it to?] 】

[Will you choose to take the elderly or children and leave the island?] 】

That class was the first lesson Zefa gave to these naval recruits, and when the question was raised, only the discussion of the cadets was left in the class.

Some people choose to take the old man away, the reason is: the vast sea, survival difficulties, although the old man is old and frail, but at least an adult who can take care of himself, going to sea together, can increase the survival rate of survivors.

Some people say that it is to take children, the reason is that the children are young and have a long life path in the future, and the old people are already old and can't live for a few years, so taking away the children is the most cost-effective.

In that class, a teenager was not limited by the dilemma thrown by Zefa, but gave another answer.

Cyrus still remembers the young man's answer to Zefa's question.

Under the gaze of many students, the young man said to Zefalang: "I will choose to get off the boat by myself and let the old man leave with the child." ”

"So that both of them can be saved."

Faced with this young man's answer, Zefa nodded with a smile and praised:

"Really?"

"If you can really do it, then you will become a truly good navy!"

"Cyrus!"

Why did Cyrus remember the young man's answer so deeply, because the young man who answered Zefa at that time was himself!

The scene of his class at the Naval School flashed back to Cyrus's mind.

Gradually, the screams and pleadings of his subordinates became clearer and clearer in Cyrus's ears.

The long sword raised in Cyrus's hand slowly fell, the tip of the sword against the ground.

Seeing Cyrus's action, a trace of astonishment flashed in Doflamingo's eyes, and then he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and asked with a grin:

"Have you already made your decision?!"

As Doflamingo spoke, the city defenders stopped fighting, and for a moment the streets fell silent.

"I made a decision."

"Let them go."

As he spoke, Cyrus threw away his sword, and then stood on the spot with his hands down.

Seeing Cyrus give up his resistance, Doflamingo didn't know why, and there was no thrill in his heart that his plan had succeeded.

There was an unexplained anger in his heart, and with his worldview, there was no way to understand why Cyrus did this.

Doflamingo is an extremely selfish person, and when he looks at other people in this world from his perspective, he naturally feels that others are just like him, and they are all extremely selfish.

Selfish people, in the face of life and death threats, will eventually tear through layers of disguise.

Those who are "great and upright" are just because they are standing on the shore and saying the same beautiful things.

When you really fall into the water, the surrounding light will naturally fade, and no justice, filial piety, or loyalty can compare to "death".

Doflamingo had seen too many people along the way, and it was a coincidence that the people he had seen were all like the "humans" in his memory, who had revealed their true colors after falling into the water.

And the appearance of Cyrus really impacted Doflamingo's worldview.

"Fur fur fur."

"You don't think that if you put on such a posture, I will be infected by your courage and let you go, right?"

"If that's what you're thinking, then I'm sorry!"

"I'm really going to kill you!"

As he spoke, Doflamingo reached out and pointed at Cyrus's chest, and a clump of white silk threads suddenly shot towards Cyrus's heart.

At the same time, Doflamingo looked at Cyrus with some expectation, hoping that Cyrus would be able to dodge.

However, in the face of Doflamingo's attack, Cyrus had no intention of leaving, but turned his head to King Riku and said:

"Father, help me talk to Scarlet and Rebecca."

"I'm sorry."

As he spoke, Doflamingo's attack was already close to Cyrus's heart.

Just as the silk thread was about to pierce Cyrus's heart, the sharp cone gathered by the silk thread suddenly changed direction, directly changed its direction, avoided the vital point, and directly pierced Cyrus's chest.

"Woo-" Cyrus let out a painful whimper as he was attacked, and then slowly turned his head to look at Doflamingo.

"Hum hap hum!"

"I suddenly felt that it would be too boring to kill you like this."

Doflamingo's neck was bruised, and there was a thick anger in his words, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the results he had achieved.

At that moment, the street behind Doflamingo was filled with footsteps.

"Father!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Two exclamations came from the street, and when Doflamingo heard these two exclaims, the anger on his face dissipated, and then he laughed "bub-bh

In the sight of Cyrus and King Riku and others.

Torrebol, Pica, Diamanti and other members of the Don Quixote family were at this time holding a teenage girl and joined Doflamingo.

Those two exclamations came from the mouth of the girl.

"Violet!"

King Riku and Cyrus let out a low cry when they saw Violet, who had been taken here by Doflamingo's men.

King Liku's eyes were full of anger, and Cyrus's expression was also gloomy at this moment.

"Let her go!"

Cyrus looked at his wife and sister who fell into the hands of Doflamingo, and couldn't help but say angrily, Violet, it's just a child.

"Fur fur fur."

"My deal with you is over."

"Your life is mine now."

"You don't seem to be qualified to ask me to do anything right now!"

"This child's life is not in the deal just now!"

"Woowoo Woo!"

Doflamingo was in a good mood when he saw Cyrus, who had obvious mood swings, and couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't want Cyrus to play "heroic death" in front of him.

He wants to peel off the mask of Cyrus layer by layer, and completely crush Cyrus's firm heart!

Doflamingo enjoyed the feeling, which was more pleasurable than just killing.

"Do you want her?"

"Hmm"

"I want to think about it"

"Do you think this is good, is it good to exchange the life of King Liku for her?"

As soon as Doflamingo's words fell, King Liku, who was controlled by him, did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted:

"Doflamingo!"

"Whatever you want me to do, let Violet go!"

Interrupted by King Liku, Doflamingo's brows showed a little displeasure, he didn't like people to interject, he didn't like people to put on that look in front of him.

King Riku's willingness to do anything for his family made Doflamingo feel disgusted and angry.

"The choice is not yours!"

"But in your hands, Monsieur Cyrus!"

"You choose, let King Riku live or let this little girl live."

"After making your decision, kill the person you abandoned with your own hands!"

"If you can't, fufufufufu"

"Then I'll kill them all!"

"It's a new bet, and I'm not breaking my promise."

"Of course, you don't have the right to refuse this bet!"

Doflamingo grabbed Violet by the back of the neck, grabbed Violet in front of him, and then grabbed Violet by the hair, allowing Violet to look at Cyrus and King Riku.

"Make a choice, Monsieur Cyrus!"

Doflamingo said with a smile, and as soon as his fingers were raised, a silk thread quickly connected to the long sword beside Cyrus, and then the long sword quickly lifted and flew directly into Cyrus's hand.

Cyrus subconsciously caught the long sword, revealing a little confusion in it.

Doflamingo is not a Zefa who teaches and does not give Cyrus extra options.

Looking down slightly, looking at the long sword in his hand, Cyrus grabbed the thread on his chest and pulled Doflamingo's thread cone out of it.

"Cyrus, save Violet! Save Violet! ”

After hearing Doflamingo's words, King Liku turned his head and shouted at Cyrus, in the face of death, it is impossible to say that there is no fear, and King Liku shouted twice in a row, also to strengthen his faith.

Firm belief in a father's desire to protect his daughter.

“.”

Cyrus did not speak, and after standing still for a few seconds, Cyrus shifted his steps and walked slowly towards King Riku.

When Doflamingo saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and while looking at Cyrus expectantly, he "reminded":

"Have you figured it out?"

"Save this girl?"

"Hmm"

"If you kill King Liku, you will kill the king and kill the father!"

"Father-in-law is also father!"

Doflamingo said, and he couldn't help but laugh, and a chuckle came out of his mouth.

Sure enough, Cyrus, who heard this, stiffened and stood still.

"Oh?"

"Have you changed your mind?"

"Are you going to make a move on the little girl?"

Doflamingo saw Cyrus standing there, and the smile on his lips widened.

"Cyrus, don't hesitate!"

"I don't blame you, it's my decision!"

When King Liku saw Cyrus hesitating, he immediately shouted. Hearing the hoarse cries of King Liku, Cyrus raised his head a little dazedly and looked at King Liku.

Looking at King Riku with a determined face, Cyrus's gaze gradually became focused.

"Are you still planning to kill the king and kill your father?"

"Well, since it's decided, let's do it!"

Doflamingo urged, and behind him, all the members of the Don Quixote family watched this scene with cold eyes, and Rosinandi in the crowd saw Cyrus, who was forced into this situation by Doflamingo, trying to control his emotions, and at the same time quickly thinking about ways to help Cyrus.

"I'm sorry. Father. ”

"I couldn't protect you"

At Doflamingo's urging, tears flowed from Cyrus's eyes, and his body trembled slightly, he slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and then finally made up his mind, and suddenly swung it towards the King of Liku in front of him.

"Smack!"

On the street, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a tall figure suddenly appeared beside Cyrus, grabbing Cyrus's wrist with one hand.

The sharp blade stopped at the side of King Riku's neck.

Cyrus felt something strange on his wrist and turned his head to look to the side in a bit of a daze.

The long red-haired hair fluttered in the wind, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the handsome side face of Ji Guoyuan.

"I was on my way to Eggtip Island, and I was thinking of stopping by to see you, but I didn't expect Dressrosa to be attacked by pirates."

"It's true."

"It was beyond my expectations!"

Ji Guoyuan said, slowly turned around, looked at Doflamingo and his party, and said with an indifferent expression:

"I'm not like Cyrus."

"I don't like to do multiple-choice questions!"
