Chapter 19: Survival Day 19 Please save Mr. Corazon! He...

Survival Day 19:

There are many people named Garp, but if you want to name the most famous one, it is Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp.

If this doesn't count... think about the place where he met Wendy, Rogue Town... There should have been only one Garp in Rogue Town at that time.

As for the content of the letter, there is no problem at the moment.

Because this was just an unfinished letter, Wendy only wrote the beginning, which simply described her current situation in a very simple sentence.

Explaining to a prestigious vice admiral that he was part of a wanted pirate group...

Although he had no doubts about Wendy's loyalty and was usually very doting and tolerant towards her, Doflamingo still frowned and felt a little doubtful at this time.

He didn't think Wendy would betray him, and nothing had happened in all these years... But there was indeed a traitor in the family. And this traitor was most likely...

...It better not be you, Rosinante. — Doflamingo thought to himself.

***

On the other side, Corazon sat on the small boat, put down the Den Den Mushi with a heavy face, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

——Dover, he knows about my betrayal, right? Is he impatient now?

——Is this a test, or has he wanted to kill me for a long time?

Corazon thought this not because he had clairvoyance or telepathy that allowed him to hear or see Doflamingo's thoughts, but simply because he understood the Ope Ope Fruit and he also understood Doflamingo.

He knew that Doflamingo's purpose in searching for the Operation Fruit was to obtain its power. It was said that the user of the Operation Fruit could perform the "Immortality Surgery," granting eternal life. However, once this surgery was performed, the user would also die.

Doflamingo also knew this and chose to let him eat the Ope-no-fruit... He had already made the decision to let him be the sacrifice.

For the past six months, he'd been drifting at sea with the seriously ill Luo, seeking doctors everywhere to treat him... but with little success. When these quacks heard it was platinum-lead disease, they screamed in horror, treating them like patients with an infectious disease. He felt incredibly guilty for hurting Luo's heart with these repeated visits to doctors, and he empathized with the child's pain.

Fortunately, the whereabouts of the Operation Fruit are finally known...

"Don't worry, Luo. We already know the whereabouts of the Operation Fruit. You can be saved." Corazon comforted him and made up his mind to seize the Operation Fruit in advance.

He is already a Devil Fruit user and can no longer use the Surgery Fruit.

But if he gets the surgery fruit and lets Law eat it, he will be able to heal himself! Law is saved!

Corazon made a solemn decision: "I guess Dover has already known about my betrayal... Therefore, we must seize the Operation Fruit as soon as possible!"

After he finished speaking, he made another call to his adoptive father and superior, Admiral Sengoku, to inquire about the trading trends of the Ope no Mi.

Doflamingo said that the pirates who obtained the Opera Fruit were planning to make a deal with the government. This information is probably correct, so the navy must know something...

Luo looked at his actions in astonishment.

In fact, he had been moved by Corazon's actions of taking him to seek medical treatment despite the hardships he had endured over the past six months, and he also accepted this person whom he had previously considered a weirdo... He knew that the other party was only sincere and kind-hearted, and took him to do these things simply to help and save him.

But... who is Mr. Corazon calling now? Is he a member of the Navy? Is Mr. Corazon a member of the Navy?

He knew that his family, his relatives, friends, and everyone in his hometown... were actually shot by the army sent by the government.

If Mr. Corazon was a marine... wouldn't that mean...

He was so seriously ill that thinking about these problems had caused his brain to overload and his body could not support him and he collapsed.

When he woke up again, it was already windy and rainy, and Corazon was taking him across the waves in a small boat.

He had a high fever, gasping for breath, and asked weakly, "Mr. Corazon...are you a navy?"

Corazon looked at him for a moment, and after a moment, gave a negative answer in a stern tone.

Luo showed a relieved expression and smiled.

"Forget about the navy! Once you get the Opera Fruit, you'll be enemies with both the navy and the pirates. You need to be mentally prepared." [1] Corazon said in a serious tone. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he added, "And... in the Don Quixote family, you can trust Wendy. She won't hurt you. If you need help, ask her for help, and she'll probably help you."

That strange woman...?

Because of Corazon's influence, Luo, who had already shed the initial layer of thorns wrapped in hatred, recalled it carefully and nodded in confusion.

Although Miss Wendy was strange... she certainly never seemed malicious. He'd even been treated well by her once. Even when she occasionally spoke rudely, she didn't take it seriously. From what Baby5 and Buffalo had said, it was clear that, despite being from the Don Quixote family, she didn't carry any "evil" traits; on the contrary, she seemed like a good person.

Korra's tense expression relaxed a little, but the worry in his heart did not decrease.

He had to grab the Operation Fruit before the Navy made the deal and before Doflamingo showed up...

Things went smoothly. He successfully relied on the information obtained from the navy to learn about the transaction location and personnel in advance, obtained the surgical fruit, and successfully let Luo eat it first.

However, he was hit by several bullets and lost too much blood, so he was unable to move forward.

"Great, Luo, you're saved. We successfully obtained the Operation Fruit before Doflamingo..."

"Mr. Corazon! Stop talking! Let's go find a doctor first... No, I've eaten the surgery fruit now, I'm a doctor... Heal him quickly! Get well soon!... Damn it! Why is it useless!"

"How can you master the fruit completely just after eating it? This isn't magic." Corazon smiled, patted his head, and pulled out a film-like object with a lock from his pocket. He handed it to Luo and took a deep breath. "I can't walk for the time being... Could you please give this to the navy?"

There is a surveillance ship in the southwest of this island. In order to trade and capture the Don Quixote family, there will be many naval forces stationed nearby.

In his hands were the evidence of Don Quixote's crimes and his next plan that he had obtained during his time as an undercover agent...

***

On the other side, Doflamingo led his family members and approached the island where the Operation Fruit was traded.

He had also discovered that there were many naval bases here, so he sneaked in quietly without alerting the main force.

"Why do I have to go there to grab the surgery fruit?" Wendy followed him, frowning and complaining in her tone.

She was wearing a bearskin vest, a cow-horned hat, and a red warming stone stuffed in her bag. All of these measures were for warmth, and they were all props in the Don't Starve system.

This was also a problem. Although she could wear the clothes in this world, they had no effect on her except for shielding. Only the various clothing props provided by the system could provide benefits, including insulation.

The complete winter warm suit she is wearing now is made by her using various materials. Fortunately, as a major smuggling family, the Don Quixote family has no shortage of such basic materials.

Because the place where the surgery fruit transaction was taking place was covered in snow and it was very cold.

But she is a fragile famine person who will start losing blood once she gets cold.

Although she actually has many ways to resurrect, and death is commonplace in the Don't Starve game, she will be rewarded with skin sign-ins and resources for every 100 consecutive days of survival. Sometimes, if she is lucky, she will even get a gift pack set. She has to work hard to survive for these rewards.

She had originally thought of sitting by the fire on the boat and waiting for this incident to pass in comfort... After all, as a fragile character, once she joined a group battle, the possibility of being affected was too high.

Therefore, this time she summoned Abigail directly, surrounding her. However, she didn't adjust it to the angry automatic attack mode - because except for Doflamingo, who she planned to be a partner, everyone else was within the attack range.

Normally, Abigail will only fight back after Wendy is attacked; but once Abigail becomes [Angry], she will automatically attack all creatures around her except Wendy and her companions, and it is an AOE group attack.

Doflamingo glanced at the white ghosts floating around her, then at Wendy's pale little face wrapped in a bearskin vest and a horned hat, the hot breath she exhaled as she spoke, the torches she held because she said a light source was necessary except when the moon was full... and how she suddenly stopped before she had walked a hundred meters, put away the torches, and started to build a fire on the spot.

"No... I'm too cold, let me warm up first..." Wendy shivered and began to warm up around the fire. She let out a long sigh as she watched her body temperature rise and the warm stone, which had turned gray, gradually warm up and turn red again.

Doflamingo had a new understanding of her poor physique and fragility.

When he heard Wendy say that she couldn't get wet in the rain or be too cold or too hot, he thought she was just being delicate... Now it seems that she is really physically fragile.

"Can't we use a torch to keep warm?" Doflamingo asked.

Hearing this, Wendy also shook her head with regret: "No way."

Torches can't keep you warm, only fires can. She also thinks there's a bug in this game. Aren't torches fire?

Doflamingo sighed imperceptibly, a look of headache crossing his face. His initial suspicion of Wendy receded a little, and he made a decision: "Then you can warm yourself here by the fire and then return to the ship. You know the way back, right?"

Otherwise, I would have to stop every hundred meters to wait for Wendy to warm herself by the fire, and I didn't know if I could reach my destination by daybreak.

And with Wendy's ghost sister around, she can still defeat ordinary enemies.

Wendy nodded when she heard that, and watched Doflamingo leave. Then, when she was about to go back after warming up, she saw someone running towards her.

Wendy was stunned for a moment when she saw who it was. She picked up the warm stone on the ground and ran over with her walking stick and torch. "It's you, Luo. What's wrong with you? Where's Corazon?"

Luo stumbled as he walked. When he saw her, he was still a little dazed. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly started crying loudly: "Ms. Wendy! Please save Mr. Corazon! He is dying!"

The author has something to say:
