After he finished speaking, Luo took a deep breath.
Then, mustering his courage, he continued to ask Gawain.
"Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, I still want to know, if I were willing to perform the Perennial Youth Operation on you unconditionally!"
I mean, if I gained your trust, if I were willing to sacrifice myself for you, exchanging my death for your immortality.
Then... can I use this as a pretext to demand that he die in front of me?
After speaking, Luo looked at Gawain with utmost seriousness.
Meeting Rona's solemn gaze, Gawain remained silent for a brief moment, then gently shook his head.
"Immortality should not rule my desires, Trafalgar. Even if it is a word that everyone yearns for, my pursuit will be far greater than that of everyone else."
As for Doflamingo ...
Gawain pondered for a moment, then gently patted Luo on the shoulder.
"As for Doflamingo, ha, you should try to improve your strength. If you can kill him in a one-on-one fight, then in some respects, I won't punish you for killing him."
After all, his past means I'm bound to put less effort into protecting him.
So instead of thinking about how to make those shady deals with me, you should think more about how to improve your own capabilities.
In short, I've provided the environment and conditions for your revenge; everything else is up to you, isn't it?
That's all.
After saying that, Gawain patted Luo on the shoulder heavily, and Luo lowered his head helplessly and sighed softly.
As he himself said, he had no right to refuse Gawain's invitation.
Given his Gawain strength and background, there's practically no one on the high seas who can refuse Gawain.
To refuse Gawain, one would need to possess at least Mihawk's strength, which is 100% monstrous level strength.
And Luo...
Perhaps in the future, this kid will make a name for himself with 3 billion Beli.
But right now, this child is still too naive, so naive that he still believes the lives of the strong can be traded.
So naive was he that even while cradling his treasure, he always felt it was the most exquisite and alluring thing...
After getting the answer from Gawain, Luo shook his head in disappointment, then took a deep breath and nodded.
He nodded as he spoke to Gawain.
"Then, sir, if Doflamingo wants to kill me, may I request your protection?"
"Oh? Why would you think that?"
Upon hearing Luo's question, Gawain smiled and patted Luo on the head.
"Don't worry, kid, Doflamingo won't want to kill you."
Because of your Devil Fruit and your ability!
You know, even though I don't care about those things, there are people who do care for me, like Doflamingo.
And that's why, after seeing him for who he truly is, I'm willing to give him a chance—not exactly a chance to reform, but at least a chance to use his power on me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and rubbed the Trafalgar Law's head. Then he picked up the roast meat and took a delicious bite.
The barbecue made by Mr. Zeff and Sanji is full of the flavor of shoving and pounding, and every bite of meat is a dish where you can taste the beauty of their relationship.
Seeing Gawain enjoying his meal, Trafalgar also grabbed a piece of meat and tried it.
He was preoccupied with too many things, so much so that he didn't taste anything at all.
Once he could taste the flavor, he finally began to savor the exquisite taste of roasted meat!
"Whoa!!!"
He exclaimed in surprise, then quickly called out to his subordinates who were standing to the side, too afraid to approach.
"Hey guys, come over here and try this damn roast meat!"
I have never eaten such delicious grilled meat, it's unbelievable!!!
Everyone immediately moved closer to Trafalgar Law.
About two hours later, the Little Dark Bird stopped near the Reverse Mountain in the East Blue.
People stood at the bow of the ship, gazing in awe at the distant Red Line.
At this moment, Gawain and Rayleigh, one carrying the front and the other the back, carried Law's Polar Tang down from the Red Line!
This sight elicited wide-eyed stares and a chorus of gasps from the Dark Bird Ship!
Crocodile quickly took to the sky, and moments later, countless sands gathered on the Red Line, gradually spreading to the feet of Gawain and Rayleigh.
The two of them immediately stepped onto the quicksand and slid down towards the Dark Bird Ship.
Also sliding down with them were the Heart Pirates members, who, although not of much help, at least tried their best to lift the ship!
With the help of the quicksand slide, they slid all the way back to the Dark Bird Ship in no time.
Seeing the submarine that Gawain and the other man had placed on the deck, Franky immediately came over to examine it.
He observed the submarine with interest as he spoke.
"Wow, what an innovative design and incredibly creative idea!"
A boat that can dive is so cool, and it's totally my style!!!
At this point, Franky grinned and looked at Gawain.
"My lord, is this the latest spoils of war? May I open it and take a look? Haha!"
"Of course, this is yours. You can check the structure, copy and improve it, and repair the ship as well."
They just landed on the Grand Line from Reverse Mountain, and there's a problem with the internal pipelines.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Franky nodded with relief.
"When pipelines break, it's almost always a matter of strength. Metal ships sometimes don't need to consider technical differences too much; as long as the metal strength is maximized, they can last a long time."
As for metal strength, hahaha, what could be more suitable than the Franky Alloy I developed using the Munch-Munch Fruit!
I'll upgrade this thing right now, and while I'm at it, manufacture a batch to keep on our ship as backup!
"Just talking about diving, having this makes treating Laboon's stomach problems much easier!"
After saying that, Franky, along with Spandam and the two large robots, dragged the Polar Tang away!
While they were towing away the Polar Tang, Bepo was still staring in the direction of the two robots and exclaiming in surprise!
These two enormous robots were just too incredibly appealing to Bepo!!!
While Bepo and the others were curiously observing the Dark Bird Ship, Trafalgar's vision was exceptionally clear.
He stood coldly behind Gawain, staring intently at Doflamingo, who was trimming his nails with a knife by the pool in the distance!
Noticing Law's gaze, Doflamingo raised his head disdainfully and glanced at Law with contempt.
After a quick glance, he put down the knife and, while admiring his neatly trimmed nails, said to Luo Yuanyuan.
"Fufu, it seems you've grown up. You were originally my favorite, the third generation of Red Heart."
Unfortunately, this time you are no longer mine.
However, it's all the same. Staying on the Dark Bird Ship and staying in Dressrosa are no different, at least in my opinion.
So, Trafalgar Law.
Are you ready? That is, ready to carry the dreams of my foolish younger brother...!
"How dare you mention him?!"
Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Law's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and drew his knife directly at Doflamingo.
Holding the knife, he strode towards Doflamingo, roaring viciously as he charged.
"Doflamingo, I will avenge Mr. Kora!!!"
Room: Hell's Slaughter...?!
Sizzle!!!
Before Luo could finish speaking, surging lines appeared on the deck he stepped onto, and in the blink of an eye, those lines suspended Trafalgar Law from the deck.
As for Doflamingo, he clapped his hands and excitedly stood up, going to the side of Law who was hanging upside down.
Seeing Rona's extremely unwilling yet utterly powerless expression, Doflamingo's smile grew even more excited.
He said excitedly.
"The power you just used was from the Devil Fruit I lost, wasn't it?"
Fufu, you little devil, you really used that Devil Fruit quite well, but have you forgotten your promise to me?!
That year you came to me with Amber Lead Syndrome and promised that if I could cure you, you would serve me for the rest of your life!
That's what you promised me, but the you I remember is a cruel little devil who has lost all emotion, just like I was back then!
I promised you, didn't I? I have high hopes for you, and I even want you to become the third generation of the Heart of the Clan after Vergo and Rosinante, and to become the absolute core of my Donquixote Family!
But what about you?
As a guest, you have seized my property, the Op-Op Fruit!
As my subordinate, you broke your promise to me, completely shattering my expectations of you!
Even so, the Op-Op Fruit you received from me have indeed cured your Amber Lead Syndrome!
That Devil Fruit was something you received from me, and I kept my promise to you until the very end!
But you, you actually think you have the right to stand before me, brazenly yelling at me, saying you're going to plead for Rossi!!!"
At this point, Doflamingo's expression became increasingly out of control, and he burst into maniacal laughter.
While laughing, he grabbed Luo's collar, forcing Luo's face directly in front of his own!
Staring intently into Law's eyes, Doflamingo, holding Law in his arms, continued, enunciating each word clearly.
"You know what, kid? Rossi is my brother. Whether he lives or dies, the family I represent has the right to decide for him!"
As for his death, well, well, well, well, well!
Wasn't all the kindness that bastard showed you based on his betrayal of me?!
When you, you fool, built your hatred on me, why didn't you think about how Rosinante would never have betrayed me if it weren't for you!
Why don't you think about this, you bastard!
You think I caused you to lose your benefactor, but why don't you think about it? It's you, you bastard, who made me lose my own brother!!!
You childish bastard, you're so selfish it's laughable!
You're really wasting that Devil Fruit that's worth at least 5 billion Beli!!!
At this point, Doflamingo suddenly threw Law toward Gawain.
Seeing Luo flying towards him, Gawain casually grabbed Luo by the collar and brought him to a safe stop.
At the same time, Doflamingo said coldly to Gawain.
"Gawain, I know we have a partnership with Vegapunk. That guy Vegapunk can extract Devil Fruit from Devil Fruit users!"
Although that extraction would come at the cost of the user's death, that's fine, this bastard doesn't deserve to use that Op-Op Fruit!
I don't trust this guy. He's trash who betrayed me, and I can never trust someone like that!
So let's give it to Vegapunk, take out the Op-Op Fruit, and then give Devil Fruit to someone who is worthy of it and absolutely loyal to you!
In that case, it won't be long before you can undergo the Perennial Youth Operation!
If you were to attain immortality, then my confidence, and that of everyone else on the Dark Bird Ship, would all increase significantly!
Even if your ideal cannot be realized in the short term, then immortality will do!
If it can't be achieved in a year, surely it can't be achieved in a thousand years?!
At this point, Doflamingo approached Law with a menacing look, and his cold smile made Law's heart plummet.
Luo Zhen never expected that Devil Fruit could actually be extracted!
In other words, if Gawain were truly willing, he could actually find a new host for the Op-Op Fruit!
At that moment, Luo finally understood the meaning of Gawain's words, "I don't care."
With an Op-Op Fruit that can change hosts at any time, who would care if the person performing the surgery was Trafalgar?
For a moment, Luo was almost heartbroken. He had even used the Perennial Youth Operation as a condition, only to find out that he wasn't irreplaceable at all...
At that moment, Luo raised his head and looked with difficulty into Gawain's eyes.
He knew that the opportunity to decide his fate was at this moment!
Will Gawain keep his promise and grant himself the status of a medical cadre?
Or perhaps, I am destined to die in the East Blue?
Seeing Luo's sudden look of worry, Gawain grabbed Luo by the collar and placed him on the deck nearby.
Gawain gently patted Luo on the shoulder and called out to Kureha and Crocus from afar.
"Seniors, this guy is the user of the Op-Op Fruit. With him around, the surgical skills on our ship will surely make great progress."
Here, I'm leaving this kid in your hands. I hope that after we experience future battles, when our combatants suffer serious injuries or disabilities...
Our medical team can give our fighters a second life, so that none of us have to worry about anything anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain grabbed Law by the collar and threw him at Kureha immediately patted Chopper's little bottom.
Then, Luo Yuanyuan saw a comically cute raccoon raising its hands towards him.
Looking at the tanuki's small size, Luo felt both relieved by Gawain's choice and a little worried about the tanuki.
I won't just smash this raccoon to death...
Thump~~~.
Before Law could figure out what had happened, he had already fallen into Chopper's arms. At this moment, Chopper had changed from the Human-Human Fruit human form to the Human-Human Fruit's fitness ordinary human form.
Compared to Chopper's muscular physique, Law, lying in Chopper's arms, actually gave off a petite and delicate feeling...
And Chopper.
He held Luo in his arms and lifted her up slightly towards Gawain, then laughed.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll take good care of him."
"There's actually a Devil Fruit as powerful as the Op-Op Fruit in the world! This guy definitely has a better chance of becoming a panacea than I do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chopper immediately carried Law to visit the medical department of the Dark Bird Ship. Just before Law left completely, Doflamingo waved to Law from afar.
"You're lucky, kid. Although you betrayed me, you haven't even started betraying Gawain yet, hehe."
"Well then, let's see how long you can last on this ship. I have a feeling you'll die by my hand sooner or later, because you're someone with experience in betrayal!"
"Snort!"
Hearing Doflamingo's words, Law angrily lifted his head from Chopper's arms and responded to Doflamingo from a distance.
"I am definitely not the kind of trash you describe. Don't imagine me as the person you are behind your back. I would never betray you, never!"
As for your heart, it will remain in your chest cavity for now, but I will take it away sooner or later, sooner or later!!!
"Hmm~~~."
Responding to Law's indignant voice, Doflamingo curled his lip in disdain, then made a throat-slitting gesture at Law from a distance.
He then said to Luo.
"Suit yourself, trash. As long as I'm on this ship, you can assassinate me anytime, whether it's dawn or night!"
You can draw your sword against me anytime, anywhere, at any opportunity you see!
Because of you, hehe...
I gave you a chance, but you failed miserably!!!
