Chapter 83 Digital Life [VIP]

The air seemed to solidify in an instant and was crushed into powder by an invisible force.

The once bustling King's Highlands was now replaced by a suffocating silence.

The sudden appearance of Yale scared everyone in Don Quixote's family.

Almost at the same time, they all entered the highest state of alert. There was no exclamation, no panic, only the calmness and tacit understanding cultivated over the years.

Torrepol's sticky body no longer shook funny, and he was no longer as talkative as usual, nor did he suddenly come close to Yale to talk.

Diamanti's rapier was already unsheathed, the blade as soft as a silk ribbon, and his face with two facial lines painted on it had a ferocious and cold smile.

Rao assumed a unique Diong Fist stance.

Gladius and Derringer, one was ready to detonate the inorganic matter, and the other was also ready to rush forward.

The rest of the people also prepared for battle.

Among the entire family, only Doflamingo seemed unprepared with his arms hanging down, staring fearfully at Yale across from him through his sunglasses - and the people who were tied up and brought with him.

That guy... Doflamingo recognized him.

He remembered that Bellamy was a guy who admired him very much. He borrowed his flag and was quite famous in the first half.

However, since the other party has been captured by Yale, Doflamingo is too lazy to remember more about the other party.

He was even more curious about why Yale had tied that guy up. Was he trying to strike a deal with him? Surely the other party didn't think bringing Bellamy along would be enough to threaten him?

Just as Doflamingo was thinking in his heart, Senior, who was on high alert beside him, suddenly made some unusual movements.

The fat man wearing a pink baby hat took a step forward without warning, and didn't even notice that his pacifier had fallen to the ground. His eyes behind his sunglasses were fixed on the position next to Yale.

In a place where only he and Yale could see, a brown-haired woman with a cheerful smile was holding a swaddled baby in her arms, looking at him tenderly and waving at him.

"Pike, why are you standing there? Come here quickly." Lucien said with a smile.

She was exactly the same as when Sernio first met her, without any of the numbness and dullness that comes from being a vegetable.

"Lucy...Lucien..." Selnio's composure collapsed in an instant.

For a moment, he forgot about the battle, the enemy, and everything. His mind and eyes were filled with the figure in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night.

Time seemed to go back to several years ago when he saw the girl while hiding from the rain.

She ran to him with her shoes in hand, smiled brightly and said that she liked rainy days. His cold heart was touched, and they started dating from then on.

But Lucien hated pirates, and he was the worst pirate ever.

He concealed his identity and lied to her that he was a bank clerk. They got married smoothly and had a child.

Later, he left for a long time for a mission, and when he came back, his wife was sitting alone at home.

Their child Gimlet died of a high fever. His wife searched for him many times and learned from the bank that he was not a bank employee.

He was unable to answer his wife's questions, and his wife ran out of the house in his silence.

After that, he was hit on the head by falling rocks from a landslide and has been in a vegetative state ever since...

“Lucien——!!” Selnio rushed forward regardless of everything, his voice heartbreaking.

With tears streaming down his face, he reached out his hands to hug and touch his wife, muttering "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry" over and over again.

He will live with guilt for the rest of his life for having deceived her and failed to protect her and their son.

"It's okay, Pieck." Lucien looked at him with concern, raised her hand to touch the pink baby hat on his head, and smiled softly.

It was clearly an illusion projected by a digital life form, but Sernio could actually feel the touch.

He cried even harder and knelt before his wife, begging for their forgiveness.

But to others, this scene was just him talking to himself in the air.

Everyone in the Don Quixote family could guess what Sernio saw.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to let Sernio immerse himself in illusions, as the distance between him and Yale is too close!

"Mr. Sernio!"

"How dare you use such despicable means!"

"Wake up, Piqué, that's fake!"

Rao, Delinger, Mahbais and others immediately rushed forward and attacked Yale.

Gladius used a blast attack directly in front of Selnio, where the illusion of Lucien might be.

The explosion sent a powerful shockwave that sent Sernio, who was kneeling on the ground, flying away.

When he fell on his back, several figures immediately blocked his way.

Baby-5 transforms her body into a weapon and prepares for battle.

Diamanti watched Yale's movements warily while yelling at the person behind him in a provocative manner.

"Sernio! Where's your manliness? It's so ugly to be deceived by hallucinations. Wake up now!"

"Fufufu, what a silly trick! No matter how realistic your illusion is, it's just an illusion. Sernio's loyalty to the family is unquestionable."

Doflamingo laughed coldly, and was rude in his words, but when he saw Yale, who was unharmed under the continuous attacks of the cadres, he became more and more fearful in his heart.

When he learned that the Celestial Dragons had been captured, he couldn't imagine how Yale had done it.

Now seeing this scene before him, he truly understood what the Celestial Dragons had experienced that night.

In this dense attack network formed by Don Quixote family cadres, their targets did not even have a hair messed up.

Her flaming red hair flowed softly behind her, with a few strands of hair hanging from her shoulders in front of her body, gently swaying in the breeze caused by the attack.

Eyes like molten gold calmly and peacefully admired the approaching attack, as if appreciating a drama, with amusement and a smile.

No one's attack could really hurt him.

He naturally absorbed the energy that came before him. It was an instinct that did not require any deliberate effort, just like the sunlight that existed naturally, easily penetrating the cold killing net set up by the family members.

Tilting his head slightly, Yale's gaze swept across Doflamingo who was on high alert, and finally fell on Selnio who had stood up again.

Sernio was breathing heavily, and his sunglasses had fallen to the ground, revealing his red and painful eyes.

Baby-5 and Diamanti were both happy, thinking that Sernio had finally gotten rid of the illusion.

However, in Selnio's eyes, the illusion still existed. Lucien's eyes were full of tears as he questioned him painfully.

"Why! Are Gimlet and I not important to you at all? Where were you when the child and I needed you? Why did you become a pirate? Why did you lie to me?!"

"I'm sorry...Lucien, I...will always be sorry for you, but I know very well that if you knew the truth, you would never persuade me to betray you! You must hope that I can be a loyal person!"

Sernio closed his eyes in pain, no longer looking at his wife's disappointed face. With tears in his eyes, he rushed towards Yale with a roar.

He will let Yale know that such despicable means are useless. His pure love for his deceased wife and children, his loyalty to his family and Doflamingo will only become more firm and terrifying after the test!

“Ah ...

Sernio's momentum at this moment was so crazy that it was terrifying, but Yale was not scared, just a little confused.

It's strange. This man clearly has such deep feelings for his wife and children, so why would he refuse?

"Don't you understand?" The slender and tough metal chain directly tied up Sernio's body.

Yale explained patiently, "I extracted your impression of your wife and children from your memory. They are genuine. Do you really not want them?"

However, these words became particularly harsh to the ears of Don Quixote's family.

This is an insult, a naked insult to their family members!

Sernio roared angrily.

The one with the Stone-Stone Fruit's power louder than his was Saka, who had already assimilated into the castle. His sharp and angry roar could be heard throughout the castle.

"How dare you insult our family like this? You're courting death!"

The stone wall shook, and the huge rock monster swung its fist at Yale, who was very small in comparison.

It seemed as if he could crush the ant-like Yale into meat paste with just one punch - of course, this was based on the premise that Yale had flesh and blood.

Yale shook his head and after collecting Sernio's emotional data, he didn't plan to waste any more time.

He really couldn't understand it. Ever since he came here, he had never been able to understand the train of thought of those guys.

He had no intention of hurting them at all. He just brought Bellamy here to return the flag and occupy the island.

If the Don Quixote family had been resisting from the beginning, he could understand it a little, but they wanted to escape at the beginning.

He maintains a very low level of mental control over the residents, and there are definitely people with stronger willpower who will not be controlled.

So in the initial stages of occupying the island, he didn't mind if some people ran away out of fear.

He even kindly gave a digital life as a gift, but he was heartbroken by what Sernio - no, the Don Quixote family did to him.

"I originally wanted to let you go, but since you are so ignorant, leave some compensation before you go."

The metal chains clattered, and as several of them rushed towards other family cadres, the one that bound Selnio quickly contracted and dragged Selnio in front of Yale like a loyal believer presenting an offering.

Yale took away Selnio's devil fruit very decisively, and emphasized it in a depressed tone.

"If you regret it, don't come to me. I won't be so kind as to reunite your family again."
