Chapter 10: Survival Day 10 I think Wendy is just Dover’s pet…
Tenth Day of Survival
Don Quixote Rosinante is Doflamingo's younger brother. After watching Doflamingo kill his father, he couldn't accept it and left his brother to wander alone...
Many years later, he appeared in front of his biological brother again, but he had lost his voice and could no longer speak.
Doflamingo naturally attributed this to the incident that happened back then. He would naturally accept the only person in the world he was related to by blood, but then...
"Wendy, come here." Doflamingo called out. The blonde loli who was changing the flower petals for Abigail's urn raised her head, looked over, and then trotted over with her shiny golden walking stick.
Wendy had already opened a skin store, but the new skin packs weren't always available, and they were even free, drawn from a lottery. However, she had already gotten quite a few basic items like boxes, walking sticks, and tents by signing in.
She also got her own skin, so she can change her beautiful clothes and hairstyle frequently!
Although she can wear and change clothes like the ones Doflamingo gave her, they are not as good as the skin sets given in the game that can keep themselves clean all the time.
The outfit she wore today was the "Rose" skin set she had gotten earlier. The pink coat came with a small cape, and the flower decoration on her head had also been changed into a rose. She also changed Abigail into a rose-themed outfit, so they were wearing sisterly outfits together.
The walking cane in his hand is also the sheep-head cane of the new skin, and it will scatter star-like light spots when he walks.
"Dover, is something wrong?" Wendy asked with her big cute eyes and head tilted up.
Six years had passed, and she was still the same as when they first met, still looking like a little girl under fourteen. If Doflamingo hadn't known that she hadn't eaten the Childlike Fruit, he would have been suspicious.
Now, we can only infer that it is a side effect of the mysterious famine fruit she ate.
Doflamingo sat down, his eyes finally lowered a little, so Wendy wouldn't have to look up too hard.
He habitually reached out and touched the other person's head, saying, "My brother is here... I originally wanted to give you the Red Heart position after Virgo left. But if you are not used to it, I will give it to Rosinante."
He didn't mean that Wendy would give up her position to her younger brother once he came... It's just that Wendy herself didn't like dealing with any family affairs. She preferred to make all kinds of strange things and stick to them. Although she was curious about other people or things, she didn't care.
Doflamingo didn't mind if she stayed like this.
Of course, if Wendy were to explain it, she could explain it—because Doflamingo was a bound partner clearly stated in the game system, she was definitely just communicating with him! In her eyes, the others were just NPCs interacting with the plot.
As for handling family affairs... she plays Don't Starve, not Sail, Wendy. She manages her own small household, not develops an industry.
Until now, she has never been on the Navy's wanted list, because Doflamingo always asked her to hide during fights, and she herself had no interest in it - because Doflamingo would let her take what she wanted first from the drops in the fight.
Therefore, upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Wendy immediately shook her head and said, "I won't be Heart. If Vergo doesn't want to be Heart, your brother should be."
Doflamingo was not surprised to hear this answer. He nodded to show that he understood and made a promise: "Whether you are a Heart or not, your status in the family will not change."
Wendy wasn't surprised to hear this, and even took it for granted—wasn't that nonsense? She and Doflamingo were equal in status, so Doflamingo's subordinates were naturally below her!
"But this is the first time I heard that you have a younger brother, Dover. What is your brother like? Does he look like you?" Wendy asked curiously.
After playing in this world for so long, what she experienced and what the system recorded in the [Viewable Major Events] was the execution of Roger in Rogue Town six years ago, which was also recorded as the [Pirate King Roger's Execution Day].
Other small things will not be kept for record unless she chooses to record them, just like writing a diary.
Don't Starve was originally a sandbox game, offering a high degree of freedom and no mandatory quests. The only requirement was staying alive. As a result, Wendy had a high degree of freedom of movement, with no system-imposed "quests." Only her active exploration and completion would trigger system records.
Because of this, she's not like those RPG players who are keen on triggering quests and engaging in conversations everywhere. She prefers to build a home, as you can see from the fact that she always builds things in the Don Quixote family's territory.
But she was still very curious about Doflamingo's brother.
"He... is very different from me." Doflamingo's voice deepened, not knowing what he was thinking. He paused, smoothing Wendy's hair with the hand that was on her head. "You should be able to get along well with him."
***
When Rossinanti saw Wendy, he was stunned.
It’s not surprising that there’s a little girl among Doflamingo’s subordinates… After all, the Donquixote family also has many female members.
But Wendy seems quite special.
She looked like an ordinary, fragile girl, with long, beautiful golden curly hair and a dark red rose pinned on her head. Her expression looked innocent and naive.
But Rosinante wouldn't treat anyone like an ordinary little girl. She sat right next to Doflamingo, leaning against him. And not only did Doflamingo condone her behavior, but the others seemed to be taking it for granted as well.
Rossinanti couldn't help but stay on the other person a little longer.
He came here not because he missed his brother, but because he was undercover with a secret mission.
His true identity is a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. After witnessing his brother murder his father, he fled in panic. He was later adopted by then-Vice Admiral Sengoku and joined the Navy. After seeing reports of the reckless expansion of the Donquixote Family, led by Doflamingo, he volunteered to take on this undercover mission.
Therefore... seeing this girl who looked so out of place in this group, he felt a little doubtful - who was she? What was the relationship between Dover and her?
It's just that he has to pretend to be unable to speak now, so it's not convenient for him to ask directly... But since he wants to join here, he will eventually know.
After joining, Rosinante quickly found his own place - replacing the departed Virgo as the cadre Red Heart, and thus gained a new name, Corazon.
Corazon means heart.
After joining, Corazon gradually got to know other people, including, of course, Wendy, the person he had previously focused on.
The most important thing is that even if he doesn't ask, others will still complain.
"Dover really dotes on Wendy. I even suspect that he treats her like a relative because you ran away from home... But Wendy does have some special abilities, right?"
"I think Wendy is just Dover's pet."
"If you say such bad things about Wendy, be careful she might steal your things today."
"What do you mean by stealing? She's always been taking things openly... Although Wendy can get a replacement for anything she takes, her treatment is a bit too special... Never mind, it was Dover's order after all."
After listening to this, Corazon felt that the label on Wendy was a bit strange.
To sum it up, he's a little bandit, spoiled by Dover, has special abilities, holds grudges and shouldn't be messed with.
Although the summary was arrogant and domineering...when he met Wendy in person, he really couldn't see through these labels.
Because Wendy looks very polite, even quite polite. When introducing herself, she lifts her skirt and bows slightly.
It looks like... like...
"I don't know much about Wendy's past, but she's most likely a noble who ran away from home. She ate a devil fruit when she was very young, and there's probably no going back. But she's still quite delicate, so we should have been more considerate of her." Doflamingo said as a matter of course.
The reason why she can speak so fluently is that she should be given some leeway. This sentence is prefixed with "others".
Corazon knew Doflamingo's identity and past. After hearing this description, he suddenly realized that it was because Wendy was also a noble in the past and they were in similar circumstances, so Doflamingo had some special feelings for her as if they had transferred some empathy!
As for other people's description of Wendy as a bandit, it is easy to understand once you know that she is a noble.
Now everything made sense. — Corazon suddenly understood.
However, when he contacted Wendy privately, he felt that everyone's description was not quite right.
Wendy isn't particularly interested in expansion or battles, preferring to stay home and cook and make various small items. The food and small items she makes all have special effects, which is probably the main reason she's been able to stay in the Don Quixote family.
He didn't interact much with Wendy, but perhaps because he was Doflamingo's younger brother, Wendy treated him well. When he went to see her alone, she even gave him a wreath.
When Wendy held the wreath high and handed it to him, Corazon subconsciously leaned down and lowered his head so that she could reach it. When he put the wreath on, he found something unusual - after wearing this wreath, people would feel better.
"This is a gift for you." Wendy said good-naturedly, looking quite happy. "You are Dover's brother, right? I have a sister too, and she can't speak either."
Corazon nodded subconsciously.
Then, Wendy continued, "You haven't met my sister, have you?"
Corazon hesitated, a question mark popping up in her head - did Wendy have a sister? It seemed that she had never seen one...
"Come out, Abigail!" Wendy excitedly summoned Abigail's soul. The white ghost wearing the same headdress let out a clear and joyful cry, squinted its eyes happily, and then circled around Wendy twice.
"Look, this is my sister. Isn't she cute?"
Corazon's pupils trembled—cute or not…this wasn't just about not being able to speak, right?!
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Corazon: Is this right?
Turkey's tolerance for Wendy isn't just due to their personalities being compatible (because they're talking in different languages), and they've never had any conflicts, but also because... he's kind of looking for some family camaraderie. [Sunglasses]
As for Wendy... everyone knows what kind of players she is, right?
