The conversation between Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku through air made the office quiet, and Sengoku's voice did not come from the Den Den Mushi receiver for a long time.
Rossinanti stood beside the desk, looking at Yuichiro Tsugikoro sitting on the sofa, with a helpless look on his face.
"These are two really heavy words!"
After a long time, Zhan Guo on the other end of the Den Den Mushi sighed softly, then hung up the phone, and a busy tone came from the receiver.
Trafalgar Law sat on the sofa, looking in the direction of Den Den Mushi with some surprise, and then looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with some surprise. Although he was young, his experiences made him unusually mature for his young age.
When Rosinante reported to Sengoku, he didn't deliberately avoid Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Law, and Law listened to their conversation. With his limited imagination, he probably couldn't imagine that the Navy Admiral could have such a "calm" conversation with a former admiral who had "defected from the Navy."
And judging from the tone of the Admiral, he seemed to be persuaded by this "traitor"?
Jiguo Yuanyi noticed Luo's gaze, glanced at him, looked at the white spots on his skin, and asked Luo Xinanti:
"Rosinante, what's wrong with this kid's skin?"
"Albino?"
Hearing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's question, Rosinante shook his head slightly and explained, "No, if it's albinism, then it's fine."
"It's platinum lead disease."
"If there is no way to get good treatment, this child..."
When talking about platinum-lead disease, Rossinanti's mood was obviously much lower, and Luo's face also showed a little panic. He didn't want too many people to know that he was a patient with platinum-lead disease.
According to the World Government's propaganda, platinum-lead disease is a malignant infectious disease, and the World Government has also blocked the source of the disease, the "White Town" in the North Sea - Frevans.
Law's experiences over the years were quite miserable. Whenever the fact that he was suffering from platinum lead disease was exposed, he would be driven away and hunted by people. It was not until he joined Doflamingo's Don Quixote family that he was able to live a peaceful life for a while.
But in the pirate group, he has always been an insecure person, and he is very averse to people being curious about the white spots on his skin.
When Luo heard Ji Guoyuan mention this, his first reaction was to be alert.
"Ro, relax a little."
"Yuichirō won't do anything to you."
As he spoke, Rosinante walked over to the sofa next to Luo and sat down. He placed one hand on Luo's little head and continued with a smile:
"I plan to take the child to see a doctor next. The world is so big, there must be a doctor who can treat this disease."
"I'll let him live a normal life."
Luo was also very wary of Rosinante. He stretched out his hand to block Rosinante's hand, lowered his head slightly, and said with a pout, "There's no such thing as a doctor!"
"I already knew that there is no such doctor!"
Luo seemed to be very pessimistic, and his tone was quite calm when he said this.
"Crack~"
At this moment, the office door was opened, and a little girl with a pink bow and a bob haircut walked into the office with a kettle in her hands, smiling broadly, and shouted crisply:
"The hot water is here~"
Hearing the little girl's cry, Rossinanti immediately stood up from the sofa, quickly took the kettle from baby5's hand, and complained with some heartache:
"Don't use hot water. What if you get burned?"
"You are already free. No one will ask you to do these things."
"Just be like a normal kid."
Facing Rosinante's "rebuke," Baby5 chuckled and said, "This is something I wanted to do."
"Hey, Rosinante, are we going to stay here from now on?"
"This is our new home, right?"
When asking this question, although the young baby5's face was full of smiles, Tsugikuni Yuichiro could still feel her uneasiness and nervousness at the moment.
Hearing this, Rossinandi patted her head gently, without hesitation, and said with a smile:
"I will take you back to the Marine Headquarters. That will be your new home."
"After I send you back, I will take Luo to see a doctor."
"Cure his illness."
Hearing what Rosinante said, Baby5 was startled. She hugged Rosinante's calf and yelled, "Are you going to leave me?"
"Navy Headquarters? I'm not going!"
"I want to be with you!"
The only familiar family members left were Rosinante and Luo. Baby5 was feeling the most insecure at that time. When she heard that she was going to be separated from Rosinante, she immediately refused.
"How could I abandon you?"
"You are my family. In the Marine Headquarters, I have my adoptive father and elders who raised me."
"He has promised me that he will take care of you."
"You went to the Marine Headquarters and stayed with your family."
Rossinanti comforted her, but his words were of no use to the child. Although Baby5 stopped yelling, she still held Rossinanti's legs tightly.
Tsugikoku Yuichi had no intention of expressing his opinion on the placement of the child. He glanced at the depressed Luo, touched his chin, and suggested:
"If you go to a regular doctor, there's really no way to treat platinum-lead disease."
"Rosinante, I think you need to prepare for both scenarios."
The world has changed, and Yoshiichi Tsugikuni doesn't know whether Luo and Rosinante will be able to find the Ope no Mi successfully when they go out to sea, just like in the original world line, and use the Ope no Mi to completely change Luo's life.
"Two-handed preparation?"
"What's the meaning?"
When Rossinanti heard this, he raised his head slightly, looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and asked.
"Seeking a doctor is one thing, but you also need to be aware of other ways to treat platinum-lead disease."
"Vegapunk, you know what?"
Ji Guoyuan asked, and his words immediately attracted the attention of Luo Xinanti and Luo.
"The Navy's top scientist?!"
Without waiting for Rossinanti to speak, Luo asked. He didn't expect that even such a young child had heard of the name of Vegapunk.
Rossinandi nodded slightly when he heard the name, then asked curiously, "Of course I've heard of Vegapunk. As Luo said, he's a scientist."
"Many of the navy's advanced weapons and equipment were designed and developed by him."
"But what does that have to do with Luo's illness?"
"He's a weapons scientist, not a doctor."
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan picked up the teacup on the table and explained, "The scientist is right, but you may not know that he is also researching cloning weapons."
"Not only in the field of weapons manufacturing, he is also a true genius in the field of biological sciences."
"If he's willing to research it, it should be possible to cure platinum-lead disease."
"I'm going to Egg Point Island. You can take him with you."
Rosinante was greatly surprised by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's words. He and Rosinante looked at each other and saw deep joy in each other's eyes.
However, before Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, he saw Rossinanti's happy expression and continued:
"Don't be too happy. He's a scientist affiliated with the Navy. He might not even be interested in researching patients with platinum-lead disease if the World Government learns of this."
Without Ji Guoyuan's explanation, Rossinanti immediately understood what Ji Guoyuan meant.
"Of course I won't be stupid enough to tell anyone!"
"We can just go secretly with Luo. Didn't I remember you said you were going to Egg Point Island? Let's go together!"
Hearing this, Ji Guoyuan pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and then continued:
"As I just said, finding a doctor is one thing, but we also need to look for other ways to treat platinum-lead disease."
"Rosinante, do you know that there is a devil fruit called the Operation Fruit in this world?"
"If he could obtain the Operation Fruit, his illness should be curable."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi's words made the already delighted Rosinante and Luo even more excited. Luo raised his head and stared at Tsugikoku Yoriichi, his face full of hope. Compared to his previous look of despair, he now had found hope to survive.
Having contracted a terminal illness like platinum lead disease and having witnessed countless people in the town of Frevans die from platinum lead disease, Luo had long lost hope in his life.
But now that he had learned from Yoriichi Tsugikuni that there was a possibility of survival, Luo's gloomy life finally had some light, and this light source was not one, but two!
“Bang!!”
Suddenly, Luo jumped up from the sofa, knelt down in front of Ji Guoyuan, and kowtowed hard.
Under the stunned gazes of Yunyi, Luo Xinanti and the others, Luo suppressed his emotions and whispered to Jigoku Yunyi:
"Thanks!"
"No matter what my final result is, I want to thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan stood up and helped Luo up from the ground, saying softly, "Are you a fool, kid?"
"You are Rocinante's family, and he is my friend. It is my duty to help you."
"Besides, I didn't do anything. The future path of your life depends on you and Rosinante."
"Neither seeking help from Vegapunk nor seeking the Operation Fruit is an easy task."
"The Operation Fruit is worth 5 billion berries. Not to mention that there's been no news about the Operation Fruit yet, if it were to appear, the number of people vying for it would be as numerous as a river of crucian carp."
Jiguo Yuanyi poured a basin of cold water on the few people to calm them down.
When Luo heard the words "worth 5 billion Baileys," his pupils shrank slightly, and he was greatly shocked. However, he quickly recovered, shook his head, and said, "Whether I can be saved or not, I have to thank you."
"Otherwise, I won't even have a chance to fight for it!"
Hmm.
The young Luo was surprisingly sensible. Seeing the boy's serious expression, Yunyi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. He squatted down slightly, smiled, patted Luo's head, and then said to Luo Xinanti:
"Since we've already decided, let's not waste time and go to Egg Point Island first."
"My ship entered the port last night and should have been resupplied by now. Let's hurry and set off."
"Time waits for no one."
"When it comes to treating illnesses, the sooner the better."
Hearing this, Luo Xinandi nodded excitedly. Noticing that Baby5 was holding his hand tighter and tighter, Luo Xinandi hugged Baby5 into his arms and said with a smile, "Baby5, let's go together. Luo and I both need you!"
Hearing what Rosinante said, Baby5, who was obviously nervous at first, cheered happily and immediately held Rosinante's neck, and happily lifted her little head to Rosinante's chin.
Seeing Rossinante and the two children getting along happily together, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also smiled.
"If only all the orphans in this world could meet someone like Rosinante."
"The scenery in this world will be much more beautiful now."
With a sigh in his heart, Ji Guoyuan looked out the window. The bright sunshine fell on the harbor in front of the base. Above the sparkling sea, several snow-white seabirds flew low.
The chaos and disorder of last night were no longer to be seen in Dressrosa today.
"Bang!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the door. Following a muffled sound at the office door, Cyrus, sweating and anxious, appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing the figure of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then whispered:
"General!"
"Scarlett. Scarlett is gone!"
"Rebecca, Rebecca has disappeared too!"
Cyrus, who has always presented a strong image, choked up when he said this.
Although Luo, Rosinante and the others did not know who Scarlett and Rebecca were that Cyrus was talking about, when they saw the grown man's appearance, they realized that these two people must be important to Cyrus, and their originally happy expressions immediately faded.
"Disappeared?"
At this moment, Jikuni Yuanyi also looked at Cyrus and frowned slightly.
When he came last night, he also focused his attention on Doflamingo and the escaped remnants of the Donquixote family. The focus of his observation Haki was not on the base.
The disappearance of Cyrus' wife and daughter is probably related to Don Quixote's family.
"Missing, right?"
"Are there any signs of fighting where your wife and children live?"
"Blood, is there?"
Ji Guoyuan's first reaction was that the people of the Don Quixote family had not been cleared out and the people were kidnapped by these people, so he immediately asked.
Cyrus immediately shook his head upon hearing this, and recalled the scene inside the house when he returned home to check, and continued:
"There were no obvious signs of a struggle. Apart from some damage to the door lock, the house was clean and tidy."
"There wasn't much blood either."
"should."
Before Cyrus could finish, Tsugikoku Yoriichi took over and said:
"The power gap is huge. Was he kidnapped?"
"For what purpose?"
"If it's someone from the Doflamingo family, they should be trying to force you to commit it."
As soon as Jiguo Yuanyi expressed his guess, Rossinanti shook his head and denied it:
"It can't be someone from the Don Quixote family. Doflamingo didn't send anyone to do anything against Mr. Cyrus in advance during last night's attack."
"Also, all the Don Quixote family leaders have been killed by Yoriichi. I have confirmed the bodies."
"There shouldn't be anyone else who would attack Mr. Cyrus's family."
Rossinante said with certainty that he had a high status in the Don Quixote family, and Doflamingo actually did not hide many things from him.
"Who could that be?!"
"Who could that be?"
Cyrus was a little excited, his face flushed, and veins on his neck and forehead were bulging. Hearing what Rosinante said, he couldn't help but growl.
If it weren't for the Don Quixote family, he wouldn't even have a target to search for, which made Cyrus even more annoyed.
"Dressrosa's forces are complex and intricate."
"But someone who is capable of kidnapping must have a clear purpose."
"The target should be you, Cyrus, or..."
"It's Dressrosa, or it's me!"
"Don't panic. Send people to search first and block the island's port terminal to prevent people from being taken out."
"Check which ships left the port last night."
"Since it's kidnapping rather than outright murder, there must be a backup plan."
"If the search is fruitless, just wait for the kidnappers to make their move."
Compared to the "victim" Cyrus, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was obviously much calmer, and his emotions also infected Cyrus, making the originally panicked Cyrus calm down a little.
"Okay! I'll do it right away!"
After hearing Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's advice, Cyrus turned around and left the office immediately.
Just as Dressrosa was in chaos again due to the disappearance of Scarlett and Rebecca, the CPs were doing the handover work in the sea hundreds of miles away from Dressrosa.
"Are these two people the cargo?"
On the deck of a merchant ship, two figures, one large and one small, covered in black linen were sent into the cabin.
At the cabin entrance, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman pointed his thumb in the direction of the cabin and asked the CP9, a man and a woman in black suits, who were standing in front of him.
"Well, the big one will be sent to Judicial Island, and the small one will be sent to the Holy Land."
"This is something that the higher-ups specifically requested."
"Keep an eye on your people, and never, ever let anything go wrong."
"That woman will be executed in front of the people of the world!"
