Chapter 107 Celestial Body Preparation Day 5: Finding a knife in the sugar, and finding sugar in the knife.
Celestial preparation day 5:
Wendy was holding a wanted poster with a picture of a young man wearing a spotted felt hat.
—Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death of the North Sea.
"Luo has become a doctor, that's great." Wendy nodded repeatedly, a look of satisfaction on her face, completely ignoring the word "death" at the beginning. She was still wondering, "But why didn't he contact me?"
She still wanted to meet Luo right away. After all, in a few months Luo might be too old to be her child.
Just when Wendy was thinking about whether to publish a statement in the newspaper, "Congratulations on becoming a doctor, why don't you come to see me?", the news bird arrived with a letter - signed by Trafalgar Law.
Hawkeye took a look and had some guesses in his mind: the letter should have been written after the bounty order came out...but the bounty order must have spread faster than the letter was delivered.
Wendy opened the letter and started reading.
Luo first asked if Wendy was okay. She seemed very polite, completely different from the little brat who had a sour face that said "Everyone owes me 300 million".
After saying hello, he went straight to talking about his heart condition.
"Mr. Corazon entrusted your heart to me. I'm sorry I haven't been able to find a way to revive you. Thankfully, Miss Wendy, you were successfully resurrected through other means. Should I return this heart to you?"
Luo didn't mention anything else. His thoughts on Mr. Corazon and his own desire for revenge were his own affairs, and he wouldn't leave them to anyone else, especially Miss Wendy, whom Mr. Corazon had wanted to protect but hadn't been able to.
He just said a simple hello at the end.
After Wendy finished reading the letter, she released her grip on the Newsbird's claws and said, "Wait a moment."
The tearful Newsbird nodded, agreeing tearfully—that's why it didn't want to come here! Every time it came, it would probably increase everyone's workload and get beaten up, not to mention having to deal with this adorable devil!
Wendy was still a little worried, so she said to Hawkeye, "Please watch this bird for me," and then went to write a letter.
She always wrote concise letters, but since she hadn't seen Luo for a long time and he had a lot of things to do, she wrote a lot in one go.
Luo:
I still have that telltale heart, so you don't have to give it back. Just keep the one Rosinante gave you! It's like he inherited it! If you want your own, I can give you another one when we meet again. That way, you'll become my companion.
Where are you now? When is your birthday? I wanted to see you before you came of age. I'm doing fine now, still living on Kraikana Island, but I might have to move to the New World with Mihawk soon. I'll probably come back, but I'm not sure when.
When are you coming over? I visited Rosinante's tomb last time. I can take you with me next time.
PS: I also got a photo of Rossinanti from Uncle Zhan Guo as a gift for you. You haven't seen his real face, have you? It's quite novel!
PPS: I have changed into a new skin now. Let me show you what I look like now. Please don’t mistake me.
PPPS: Luo, please give me a current photo of yourself. The photo on your bounty warrant is not of your face, so it’s not very clear.
—Wendy Carter
Wendy looked at the letter and nodded with satisfaction, finding that nothing was missing. Then she sealed it, went to the photo wall, took two photos, and handed them to the dejected Newsbird.
Hawkeye watched the other person's actions and calmly took a sip of tea - well, he finally got the man's photo away.
***
A few days later, on the other side, in Beihai, the newly promoted death surgeon carefully opened the envelope.
The letter was not long and he finished reading it quickly.
At the beginning, Luo was still wondering - does this person have a lot of hearts? Although some people are special and have multiple hearts, why does it feel like Miss Wendy's heart can be wholesaled?
But soon he stopped paying attention to this issue and was diverted by the following content.
"Why are you asking me about my birthday? It's not my birthday anyway." Law muttered, then frowned, "Is this Mihawk guy really reliable? If we go to the New World, is he going to that red-haired guy's territory?"
He definitely wanted to meet Wendy, but there was no way he'd just rush from the North Sea into the Grand Line to Kraikana Island. His current speed wasn't slow, but he still had a long way to go before he could venture into the Grand Line, and he certainly couldn't let Wendy wait for him...
"...You should tell Miss Wendy that I will go to the New World to find her." Luo's eyes gradually became firm.
Dressrosa is also in the New World, and he will definitely go there to seek revenge on Doflamingo for Mr. Corazon. This is his responsibility, having received Mr. Corazon's favor, so Miss Wendy doesn't need to worry about it.
As for what the other party said at the end...
Luo looked at the envelope, picked it up, carefully turned it over, shook it, and two photos fell into his palm.
He put the empty envelope down and looked at the photo.
In a small ID photo, a blond young man in a navy uniform stared forward with a determined gaze. Though clearly a familiar figure, his face seemed strange. After all, in his last memory, the other person had still been wearing that heavily made-up face.
And in another, larger photo... it was equally strange yet familiar. The blonde girl had a smile on her face, looking much more mature than she did in my memory.
"...What? Mr. Corazon is always smiling, and Miss Wendy never smiles. How come it's the other way around in the photo? And when did Miss Wendy become so gentle and soft-spoken?... Just like Mr. Corazon."
He muttered, twitched the corners of his mouth, and stared at the two photos for a long time before he carefully put them away and kept them close to his body.
These two photos, one is Mr. Corazon's past, and the other is Miss Wendy's future.
Obviously we will never meet again, but putting the photos together makes it feel like we can meet again.
Law slowly exhaled, his eyes showing some determination - he must grow up quickly... he must take revenge on Doflamingo, and also, possess the ability to protect Miss Wendy!
***
Wendy didn't realize that her act of sending photos simply to help Luo recognize the person and avoid making a mistake made Luo start to ship the couple and look for the knife in the sugar and the sugar in the knife, and he almost started to eat meal replacements.
She received another letter from Luo, happily threw away the watering can in her hand, opened it and started reading.
Luo Xian rejected Wendy's eagerness to give him another heart.
"I already have the heart Mr. Corazon entrusted to me, and I will carry on his legacy. There's no need for a new heart. And if you wish, Miss Wendy, I'll naturally be your companion." He then explained his birthday and why he wasn't coming to see her right away.
But at the same time, he also showed that he was still working hard to become stronger, and he now had a group of friends, so he asked her not to worry and that he would go to the new world to find her in the future.
Also at Wendy's request, Luo sent a photo - a photo of him and his current companion.
Wendy's eyes lit up when she saw the photo—Wow! There's a real bear in it!
But before she could finish her excitement, she heard a system prompt: [You requested to be added as a companion of Trafalgar D. Vatiel Law. Trafalgar D. Vatiel Law has agreed to your request and, in accordance with Don Quixote Rocinante's wishes, has inherited his position.]
Wendy stood there in a daze.
...Huh?
She opened the companion list and saw the change in the display of the third companion: Don Quixote Rocinante [Dead] → Trafalgar D. Wattier Ro
...Huh? Is this even possible?
That meant... Rosinante had wanted Luo to be her new companion, and Luo's receipt of the heart had effectively meant his agreement. But just like the pop-up window that required her to press the "Confirm" button, did this step require her to contact Luo again and get confirmation? — Wendy suddenly realized.
She felt a little happy, but also a little regretful.
I am happy because this saves a spot for a companion, but it is a pity that I can’t adopt Luo.
Then, looking at the name of a position on the friend list, she gradually frowned, looking unhappy, and turned to Hawkeye and said: "I suddenly feel that Dover is really bad, I hate him."
Because Doflamingo crushed the heart she gave him, this position is stuck here. Even if the relationship is terminated, it cannot be thrown away or passed on to the next person. What a waste.
Hawkeye: “……?”
Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Did the Death Surgeon say something bad about Doflamingo in the letter?
However, Doflamingo is indeed not a good person, and as the only one among Wendy's companions who had a falling out with her, it is normal for Wendy to hate him.
Wendy's temper came and went quickly. She cursed while watering the plants, but she had already prepared herself for the evening's new dish. Because the seeds the bear had brought her had grown lemons, she had a new experiment and was very happy to make lemon sea bass fillets.
Hawkeye also finished reading the letter from Law that Wendy had given him, and was puzzled. There was no mention of Doflamingo in the entire letter. Could it be that he had suddenly realized what had happened to Trafalgar Law and was taking his anger out on him?
But this is not a big deal.
Because the important news was soon published in the newspaper - Red-Haired Shanks became one of the Four Emperors.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Luo: My BE CP is still on sale... [Heartbroken]
Wendy:?
Rossi: ?
PS: According to the timeline, Shanks should become a Four Emperor next year, but the development here is different after all. Wendy gave him the acceleration (X), so he became a Four Emperor a year earlier.
PPS: There will be an IF red-haired line in the extra chapter, don't worry. In fact, except for the Hawkeye line, Wendy in other lines is always ready to run away at any time. Whether she can keep people or not depends on her own ability. [Cooked Dog]
