Chapter 6: Survival Day 6: I put all my treasures there! ...
Chapter 6: Sixth Day of Survival
Wendy's idea was quite simple - Long told her the characteristics of Devil Fruit users, and she believed that Devil Fruit users were NPC players permitted by the game system. Then, the equation Devil Fruit users = potential partners was officially established.
As for this companion who looked like he was dressed strangely and didn't look like a good person... she didn't think there was anything special about him at all.
You have to know that among the characters in "Don't Starve", only Wendy looks harmless, not to mention the others with special looks and strange costumes, there are even robots, Spider-Man, fish-man, plant-man and so on.
She didn't think it was a big deal that it looked like a crime scene. After all, she was the kind of person who would keep stabbing the fallen bandits with a spear with extremely low damage to see if they would drop dead bodies.
After asking, she stared at the other person with her big eyes that made people feel a little uneasy when looking at each other.
The strangely dressed blond young man looked down at her. After a few seconds of silence, a smile appeared on his lips, making his already unkind demeanor even more sinister. "Okay, if you have the ability."
The process went smoothly. Wendy became happy and introduced herself: "My name is Wendy Carter! Just call me Wendy! What about you?"
"Donquixote Doflamingo."
Wendy followed him. Because of the way he called himself, she suddenly realized that everyone in this world puts their surname first, followed by their given name. At first, she thought it was just a unique Windmill Village custom... but some people just have one name, like the sailor she met while fishing at the naval base who called himself Kuzan.
Although Wendy noticed this, she didn't take it seriously. She followed Doflamingo all the way into a hotel that looked very luxurious.
Wendy couldn't help but sigh - this new friend looks very rich...
Unfortunately, the money was useless. In the Don't Starve system, everything still needed to be collected; it couldn't be bought or sold. But if it could be bought or sold, it wouldn't be Don't Starve anymore; it should be called Star O Valley.
Although she couldn't make money transactions, the things her friends gave her were still useful, and they had proven effective. So this time, she happily and comfortably accepted the treatment offered by this high-end hotel.
Of course, she didn't know that her calm and enjoyable appearance revealed another meaning in the eyes of her new friend...
Donquixote Doflamingo watched Wendy pull out a meatball out of thin air, swallow it in one gulp, and then sit on the sofa to read a book. He pondered for a moment, his eyes scrutinizing him. "Wendy, what is your devil fruit ability?"
It is normal for friends to share their abilities. Long has also told her about his own abilities, so Wendy also said openly: "My devil fruit is the famine fruit."
Doflamingo, who had read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, narrowed his eyes and his tone became dangerous: "Really... It sounds like a rare fruit... Can you show it to me in detail?"
Wendy tilted her head, but didn't refuse. However, she remembered Long's instructions, and since the system hadn't yet announced their partnership, she wouldn't explain everything as she had to Long.
"Hmm... I can make some stuff from the Don't Starve system," Wendy said, checking her backpack and making a backpack for someone. "Here, this is for storing things."
Doflamingo, who originally thought Wendy was fooling him, took the backpack and became a little uncertain.
He was well-informed and perceptive, so he naturally noticed the wonders of this backpack. At this point, he gave Wendy a preliminary assessment: her abilities were related to manufacturing.
Wendy then pulled out a serving of meatballs and a serving of fish fillet from the package. "These are foods made from the Don't Starve system's recipes. The meatballs mainly increase satiety, and the fish fillet can restore health."
Doflamingo frowned at the food, but he took it and ate it anyway. These two seemingly unassuming foods possessed effects that belied their appearance. Based on Wendy's explanation, Doflamingo took the words literally—one restored strength, the other healed.
So, Doflamingo looked at the little blonde girl in front of him with a somewhat uncertain look in his eyes: Hmm... the ability is related to the cook?
Then, Wendy took out the Abigail Flower and summoned Abigail. She happily circled around with Abigail for a while before introducing her to Doflamingo: "This is my sister, Abigail. She will protect me."
Doflamingo: “…”
At this time, as people with completely different personalities and ideals and ambitions, Doflamingo's thoughts rarely overlapped with Dragon's - this ability is quite complicated.
However, this can be considered as passing the preliminary assessment. Doflamingo really wants to recruit people as companions.
So, he adjusted his sitting position to a more comfortable one, supported his head with one hand, looked at the person and asked, "Where are you from? What's the matter with your ghost sister?"
Wendy blinked and answered obediently, "I came out of my home. Abigail is Abigail. I finally found her again."
What Wendy said sounded like nonsense, and sometimes it didn't make sense, but Doflamingo didn't get angry. In fact, as the conversation continued, his attitude became more patient.
Because... he, like everyone else, thought Wendy was a runaway noble based on her past and her behavior.
Because of his own past, he even imagined this part a little more - seeing how dependent Wendy is on her ghost sister, it seems that she ran away from home after her real sister died unexpectedly, and then accidentally obtained a strange devil fruit. This fruit ability made her obsession come true and gave her a ghost "sister".
Looking at the white ghosts surrounding Wendy and the same flowers on her head, Doflamingo thought more deeply - since it is called the Famine Fruit... and judging from her eating behavior just now... the side effect of this fruit's ability is that she will often feel hungry, right?
Doflamingo didn't hesitate and said, "In that case, you will join the Don Quixote family."
The Donquixote family under Doflamingo has always wanted to recruit people, and Wendy's identity and ability integrate him.
So that's how it was. The next day, Wendy followed Doflamingo and watched the execution of Pirate King Roger.
It was drizzling, and Wendy followed Doflamingo closely, holding a small pink umbrella, trying hard not to get wet.
When her clothes were splashed with water, she frowned, looking very unhappy, and kept looking up and urging: "Isn't it over yet? I can't stay in such a humid environment."
Wendy had a reason to say that - because the rule in the Don't Starve system is that getting caught in the rain or being too wet will cause people to lose sanity.
Of course, in Doflamingo's eyes, this was another proof - she was so spoiled, it turned out that she was a noble in the past.
Because of this, he showed a level of patience towards Wendy that he didn't have towards others, and replied, "It's almost time to start."
There were many people watching the execution of One Piece. Wendy wanted to look for Long at first, but the crowd was so huge, and there were many tall people. She just glanced at him and gave up looking for him, and began to watch patiently.
Roger was still smiling when he was sent to the guillotine. He didn't look like a criminal who had reached the end of his life. Instead, he looked like he was running to say hi to passers-by.
Of course, all this changes the moment someone asks about his treasure and he answers.
"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I've put all my treasures there!" (Note)
In an instant, the crowd fell into a frenzy and the air seemed to become hot.
Amidst the deafening cheers, Wendy froze in shock. She turned to Doflamingo, her face full of confusion: "Why are they so happy? Just because they know where Roger's treasure is? Are they all pirates? But there's only one treasure, and only one person can get it?"
"Yes, but that's just how people are, overestimating their own abilities." Doflamingo also smiled, but his expression hadn't changed much since Roger announced the location of his treasure. He looked at the group of people reveling, sneered, and turned away. "Let's go, Wendy, it's time to go back."
Wendy said "oh" and followed obediently.
She was still struggling there, complaining, "My clothes are all wet. I need to warm myself by the fire first to dry them."
Otherwise, the san will continue to drop in a wet state!
Doflamingo didn't comment on this, but when Wendy finally followed him back to the North Sea, her backpack was filled to the brim with clothes.
