Chapter 219 The Inescapable Promise
Chapter 219 The Inescapable Promise
The knee pillow is really a good thing.
In the past, Luo didn't think it was any good.Occasionally, on the street or somewhere, I see those greasy and crooked couples kissing me like this in public, and I still feel that they are so tacky that they sneer.Now Luo felt that his past self was simply stupid.
Although, not so long ago—this matter even thanks to Doflamingo, thank him, and wish him a long life at the bottom of the city—Ro felt something he never expected (kiss), But the beauty of the knee pillow is still unmatched by general conditions.
Of course, before that, he had been hugged by Youxiang for a long time—thanks again to Doflamingo for kicking himself desperately—but the mood, atmosphere, and posture were all different from now.Cyrus' home was very cramped, so he could only lie on the floor, but even so, with his head resting on Youxiang's legs and his body covered with a blanket, his calm mood made Luo feel that he might have arrived in heaven.
"..." Is Mr. Luo still in pain?Are you tired?Youxiang didn't notice Luo's mental activity.After all, he is very good at 'duplicity'.From Youxiang's point of view, he was just lying here with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep.Youxiang raised her hand and gently touched his forehead——
"!"
Ahhhhhh it's heaven!It's a real hammer from heaven!This is heaven...the angel himself is stroking my hair...I'm dead.Just let me die like this, my life is worth it.
A series of unpromising thoughts appeared in Mr. Luo's mind, but he still pretended to have no reaction on the surface until...
"Youxiang, you..." Until Sabo made a voice, "It's not necessary. It's enough, right? Then? Telaan or something, leave him alone? Didn't he heal Princess Manshirley?"
"But this is an appointment with Mr. Luo." Before coming to Dressrosa... the previous Mr. Luo had a feeling that he was going to die. He really didn't have the confidence to defeat Dover.So at that time, in order for him to survive, he agreed to his request.Obviously at that time he could ask for anything, but he didn't expect it to be just a knee pillow.
Youxiang said, "Is Sabo lonely?"
"That's right!" You still asked!Damn, Youxiang... It's necrotic!Sabo sat on the other side of Youxiang, and he said, "Lonely, super lonely, I want to hug you right now, but there is a guy who is super in the way here, who wants to set fire, wants to burn clean—"
"I'm not talking about this kind of loneliness." You calm down a little bit, and I said, it's really burning up! !Ace is not so easy to catch fire!Youxiang pushed his face away and said, "Then be patient."
"No. Enough is enough, even a promise is enough, get me up Trafalgar!"
"It hurts! What are you doing? Sabo! I'm a wounded man! Seriously injured!"
"I don't think you were fine just now? I'll kill you if you take advantage of Xiang, you bastard?"
"Huh...? I'm allowed, right? If you find fault, I won't pretend that I didn't hear it."
Fight.And no one else in the room wanted them to stop.Is this some sideshow?Miss Robin was just watching with a smile, and Mr. Franky also looked like watching the fun. As for Mr. Usopp, he was already asleep.After all, he was seriously injured, and he was tired after asking Fino to treat him.
As for Ace, he was sitting opposite him, not knowing what he was thinking, anyway, he was in a daze right now.Youxiang was sandwiched between two people who were arguing, and while sighing, pushed their faces away, keeping a distance between them, and then said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cyrus. They are all impolite guys .”
"Ah, it's nothing." On the contrary, little girl, you are really familiar with it.Cyrus said, "This is not a royal palace, and there is no need for etiquette. It's just that my house is small, and I have wronged you."
"How come... this is a lovely home." It is the place where Mr. Cyrus and Miss Rebecca once lived... Outside is a flower field, and the small wooden house built on the hillside is not only romantic but also dreamy.Simply a dream home.Youxiang said, "And thanks to Mr. Cyrus, we can rest in a place with a roof."
"It's just a little thing... After all, he is the hero who saved Dressrosa, and I still feel that this kind of treatment is embarrassing." Mr. Cyrus smiled a little, and he said, "Rebecca also told me that you are I also took care of her in the arena."
"No, no... It's better to say that I was taken care of by Ms. Rebecca..." Youxiang was a little embarrassed, and she said, "And... the one who defeated Dover was Luffy. My words... maybe There is no way to fight him."
"Hmm..." The situation is always complicated.Cyrus himself had a deep understanding of the duality of human beings.However, because of this position, it is inconvenient for him to express any opinions, "Since we have won, let's leave it to the navy. We don't have to think too much, just enjoy the victory."
"Yeah." Mr. Cyrus is also a good person... Dressrosa is a very beautiful place.Youxiang nodded, she looked at Luffy who was sleeping in the dark on the only bed in the room, and said, "I heard that Captain Skylark wants to set up the headquarters of the Canglan Opera Troupe here, so Dre Throtha doesn't have to go back to being poor if he doesn't get involved in those bad things."
"I don't know much about the opera troupe...but...if the country wants to become strong, it needs money." Poverty but peace is not as good as it seems.I was born from the bottom, and I know the horror of poverty.Although Doflamingo's methods were bad, it did make Dressrosa rich.Cyrus said, "That opera troupe... what is it? Miss Youxiang?"
"The opera troupe is...um~~ a group of people who like music and performances. They are very famous in the sea, and they will perform wonderful musicals for people!" Youxiang explained, she said, "The fans are very, very There are many, so they are often invited to perform in various places. If the opera troupe can establish its headquarters in Dressrosa, it will definitely attract many tourists to come here~”
"Does it attract tourists..."
"Let me explain here." Matthew's voice came from the small white delicate ball placed beside the bed, and he said, "The opera troupe has a considerable reputation all over the world. Or the navy, Monsieur Cyrus, is 'peaceful'. That is, it can be accepted by ordinary people in their daily lives."
"And it is this kind of 'everyday' that brings legitimate income to a country. In the past, Dressrosa was a country that sold flowers for a living, right? Who are most of the people who buy flowers? They are pirates Is it the navy? No. Of course not. Even the main buyers of other items, even ships and tools, are not them. It’s civilians. It’s ordinary people who really live everywhere.”
"So what Dressrosa needs is to make these civilians feel safe and have a good reputation. Even Doflamingo will not put his drug dealings on the surface. People know that Des Les Rosa came here because he is the 'Nation of Passion'. Knowing that he is the Shichibukai recognized by the navy, he feels that this place is prosperous and reliable."
"A sense of security. A sense of daily life. This is the only thing people need. And organizations like the Canglan Opera Troupe can bring people this feeling. That famous opera troupe has established its headquarters here , then this place is more or less safe and peaceful. There should be more people going to the show, so can I also go there to do business?"
"As long as someone thinks like this and puts in the effort, then more and more people will think the same way. First small traders, then merchants, big corporations, banks... With these facilities, people will feel safer , and will be more willing to come here, whether it is tourism or settlement. Then the country's economy will be driven."
"..." Cyrus still didn't understand very well, but he still felt that what Matthew said made sense, "I'm just a rough man, I don't understand it very well...but it sounds like a good thing."
"Of course, this may not be very easy to achieve. There must be some opportunities, challenges and even obstacles. But this is an inevitable stage of a country's normal development. I think His Royal Highness King Liku should have experienced more This is a bigger crisis.” Matthew said, “Of course it’s a good thing, if you just ask any country if they want the Canglan Opera Troupe to set up its headquarters in their city, the king would like to give you a title of nobility .”
"Matthew is the manager of the opera troupe~~" Youxiang said this secretly, and Cyrus smiled knowingly: "Then I will look forward to the future."
"Hey, Sabo." Ace had been sitting across from Youxiang and looking at her until just now. He didn't even say anything when Sabo and Luo quarreled. Matthew was chatting happily, so he called Sabo, and then gestured to the door.
Although Sabo was a little surprised and confused, he still nodded.He said: "You Xiang, let's go out and see the situation of the Navy."
"Hmm...?" What's wrong?Ace...Sabo?Youxiang is a little bit strange, but since they both said that, "Be careful! Eh, be especially careful of Admiral Shengu!!"
"I know~" Don't worry, even if we go to face the admiral, we will go around the lady admiral!Sabo smiled bitterly, and then left the small room with Ace one after the other.
"Luffy's brothers are really reliable~" Franky said aloud, "Although they usually mess around with each other, but after all, he is still quite serious as a brother!"
No.The two of them have nothing to do with seriousness!Youxiang thought about it in her heart, and Robin said, "Because of them being here recently, Luffy has become more messy."
But why do you look so happy, Miss Robin! !
"..." It's Big Mom's business.There was a boat near the pier... Luo understood what they were going to say, after all, Matthew was still on that boat.He held Youxiang's hand, and when she looked over, he said, "It's okay. You just stay by my side."
"Mr. Luo...?" What's wrong?Before Youxiang could react, Matthew suddenly said, "Ah, Miss Youxiang. Now there is an urgent matter that needs to be resolved by you."
"Huh? What's the matter? By the way, where is Matthew now?"
"It's not important. The important thing is that the navy's support is here. After all, it is to detain Shichibukai...so another warship was sent. The captain of the warship is...well... Lieutenant General Tsuru, the former marshal and the current Great Warlord Warring States and... grandpa."
"grandfather?!"
"Grandpa." Probably forced to come.Matthew said, "Lieutenant General Cap. And...another grandpa."
"grandfather?!!!"
"Ah. The Dawn is nearby. It seems to be back. It must be because I got the news that Doflamingo has been defeated."
Before, Mr. Marko also said that they would stay nearby... come on... but it's too bad!Oops!Isn't that pretty bad!Grandpa and grandpa are meeting soon? !
Youxiang froze in place for a while, then jumped up suddenly and said, "Mr. Luo, you hide here! I, I will leave first!!"
