Chapter 13: Survival Day 13 Because he is your brother, Dover...
Day 13 of Survival:
Corazon's speculation is well-founded.
It's known that Wendy was raised by Garp (a reasonable assumption based on the question); Garp is a typical Vice Admiral, possessing a sense of justice, ample prestige, and a respectable resume; he's a good man. Wendy herself, in fact, is a well-behaved, easy-going, and communicative child...
With this summary, it's clear which variable is causing the problem! The culprit must be Doflamingo!
Having reached this conclusion, Corazon stood there in a daze for a moment. During this gap, Wendy had already run away, and he had no time to call for help.
When he was not alone, he had to conscientiously pretend to be mute. Corazon could only keep his mouth shut and walk out.
Since then, Corazon has not been particularly close to Wendy and remains the same as before. This is also to maintain his personality.
The main reason he came to the Don Quixote family was to stop his brother's ambition to do evil. Therefore, he did not show a friendly image in the family - especially towards children.
After the Don Quixote family became famous, many children came to seek refuge with them for various reasons. Corazon beat them all away, and he also earned a reputation within the family as someone who liked to beat children.
Of course, Wendy wasn't one of those children. Firstly, she had long been a family member. If Corazon hadn't been Doflamingo's blood relative, his status wouldn't even be comparable to Wendy's. Secondly... Wendy wasn't a child either. Several senior officers knew this all too well, having watched her appearance remain unchanged for six years.
If Wendy knew what they were thinking, she would definitely retort - She has clearly changed! She has so many skins and changes so frequently, how could these people turn a blind eye to it?
As for the change in body shape, the game needs to continue unlocking functions and open mod downloads.
Currently, she has only unlocked the skin store.
However, Corazon didn't approach Wendy, and Wendy's attitude towards him became much better. After all, she was already a friend, and some game features and items could only be shared with friends. For example, she had previously tricked someone into making a shared map scroll, and the Telltale Heart that could revive a teammate.
Wendy’s idea is actually very simple - since Corazon and Doflamingo are in different camps, I must clear both lines!
She would not expose Corazon's pretending to be mute. Her attitude improved only in that she paid more attention to him in daily life and had some interactions with him.
This is something that other people in the family don't even realize... except Doflamingo, of course.
"You and Corazon have been getting along well lately?" Doflamingo asked after observing and confirming, his tone unclear. "Did something happen?"
Doflamingo knew Wendy's character very well. She didn't care about anyone except him, as if other people were not the same kind as her. She would chat with them when she was happy or useful, but would ignore them when she was unhappy, with an arrogant and condescending attitude without realizing it.
He didn't mind this kind of personality, and even subtly condoned its amplification. After all, her attitude towards him was special, so other people didn't matter.
She would not harm any member of Don Quixote's family, so the fact that he was her only family member was a good thing worth maintaining.
But now, there seems to be a variable...
"Yeah." Wendy didn't know what he was thinking, so she nodded and gave her reason, "Because he's your brother, Dover."
Wendy was being honest—if Corazon wasn't Doflamingo's brother, she wouldn't have considered him her friend.
Doflamingo was silent for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth with a smile that was clearly pleased: "Is that so... Then get along well with Corazon."
Corazon's disguise seemed harmless on the surface, and everyone attributed it to "something she'd experienced before, and now she's become a little dull and stupid"... Doflamingo knew the reason for this "stupidity."
Corazon did this to reduce his threat and presence, making it easier for him to carry out his undercover mission.
You can even pretend that because of your personality, you hate children and will beat up the children who come to you for shelter.
Doflamingo didn't mind this. Corazon's move was a form of screening. Under such high pressure and beatings, only those who still wanted to stay and were able to stay were the ones who truly wanted to join the family and were worth training.
In the end, the nearly one hundred children who came were basically bullied to the point that they realized the truth and ran away crying the next day. Only two were left who could not be driven away - one was called Buffalo and the other was called Baby5.
Buffalo is a chubby boy, while Baby5 is a cute little girl. Both of them are homeless and are determined to stay in the Don Quixote family.
Doflamingo saw that they were able to persevere and finally accepted them into the family.
Of course, they still get beaten up by Corazon to this day.
And today, a new child came to seek refuge and called himself "Luo".
After checking the supplies in the refrigerator, Wendy was excitedly going to show her walking stick with a new skin to her friends when she walked in. She saw Corazon, who was in a panic because her feather coat had caught fire when she tried to light a cigarette, and a child who was half-kneeling on the ground, wearing a white felt hat, covering his face, with blood on his face and nose, and a ferocious expression on his face.
She had seen this kind of child beating scene many times and was no longer surprised. Seeing this, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there another new defector?"
"Ah, it's Wendy." Diamante, a member of the Cube Order, looked over and greeted her in a flattering manner, explaining the situation. "It's a new kid who said he was sick and only had three years left to live. He wanted to join our family to kill people. Then he got taught a lesson by Corazon."
He tried to please Wendy because he knew that Wendy held a high status and was very useful to the family and brought considerable benefits. In addition, Doflamingo, as the boss and captain, had a preference for Wendy... Ever since he said something to Wendy that made her angry last time and was beaten up by Wendy's ghost sister and he couldn't fight back, he understood who in this family was the one that should not be provoked the most.
Although Wendy's ghost sister's attack is not fatal, it is still very painful. In addition, Wendy herself will cooperate by holding a spear and stabbing herself, while a circle of people gather around her to laugh at her... In short, it can't kill people, but it is extremely insulting.
After suffering a loss, Diamanti learned his lesson and suddenly realized why Torrepol was often targeted by Wendy. He no longer held a grudge against Wendy or showed dissatisfaction... This guy didn't remind himself!
"Is that so..." Wendy looked over and saw that the child who was half-kneeling on the ground had stood up. He raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face. With his gloomy and ferocious expression, he looked a bit scary.
But she'd seen that expression plenty over the years. Forget about anything else; the Don Quixote family's cadres were often oddly shaped, and the enemies were even more so. She even took a few more glances, expressing her approval of the child—a good-looking NPC, a refined model by this world's modeling standards. He was likely to join the family!
"I see. Corazon, why did you set yourself on fire again? Be careful next time." After watching Corazon finally put out the fire and holding up a piece of white paper that said "I'm fine" to show her, Wendy looked away with satisfaction and continued to ask Diamante, "Where's Dover?"
Diamanti: "Going to the boat, Wendy, what do you want?"
Wendy happily showed off the walking stick in her hand with a new skin. There was a bright red rose bud on the top, and the bottom was made of green branches. It also exuded a faint rose fragrance, and rose petals would fall along the way when she walked.
"I have a new cane skin, I need to show it to Dover!"
Diamanti immediately flattered him: "What a beautiful cane! It matches your current outfit very well! I'm sure Dover will like it too!"
"That's it!" Wendy responded and left with her new cane.
Luo had been keeping a close eye on Wendy since she appeared. After she left, he looked at Diamante: "Hey! Didn't you say the captain didn't have time to deal with her? Who is that woman, and why is she allowed to see him?"
Diamanti almost laughed out loud. "Huh? Dover doesn't have time for brats like you. Can you even compare to the status of that guy just now?"
Luo frowned and said bluntly: "She looks weak, not strong at all."
"Kid, if you want to survive in this family, don't say such things casually." Diamanti kindly reminded him, "She's much more useful than all of you guys combined!"
...The person who looked only a few years older than me and looked so weak? — Luo wondered, looking in the direction Wendy had left.
The next second, he was slapped to the ground.
Luo got up from the ground, turned his head and looked at the blond young man who had just slapped him with a look filled with hatred - forget about that strange woman for now! He must kill this guy first!!!

Catch the turkey into a black carp
I really like the Rose Red Cane skin... It's a pity that it's limited edition. I got it by watching a live broadcast in 24 years. Damn it!
Fortunately, Kore Points can be redeemed! A few days ago, I redeemed it for my favorite cane skin.
