Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 167 If you eliminate the enemy’s hostility, you will become invincible.

Super hit whip-

As dozens of transparent silk threads hit his chest like super bullets, Luffy, who was at the end of his strength, was knocked to the ground and passed out completely.

This was not because Doflamingo was trying to kill someone, but because no one dared to deal the last blow to Luffy. If someone was killed, they would not be able to withstand the anger of the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

"I, Doflamingo, have already remembered your contribution to Dressrosa. Please go to King's Heights for a thank you banquet later!"

Doflamingo tied Luffy into a mummy with silk threads as tough as steel, and then invited the people who participated in the operation.

Originally, Doflamingo didn't like these people very much, but now that he has decided to become the 'Four Emperors', it never hurts to win over a few more people.

"Tianyaksha, then we will be disrespectful."

"Joker, you are too polite. It is everyone's responsibility to defeat the evil revolutionary soldiers!"

"Your Majesty the King, from now on we, the Kingdom of Askar, will help Dressrosa and fight resolutely against the revolutionary army to the end!"

"..."

No one refused the invitation, and they called Doflamingo differently in response to different identities.

Following the victory in the Arena, members of the Straw Hats who were wandering throughout Dressrosa were successively eliminated by Marcus, Paine and enthusiastic tourists, and were tied into rice dumplings by thorn vines and dragged to the King's Heights.

In the palace

"Ah! Vlad! Long time no see, are you okay?"

Luffy, who woke up leisurely, saw the familiar figure in front of him and greeted him regardless of the occasion.

"..."

Vlad, who was putting a glass vessel filled with blood into the refrigerator to keep it fresh, was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Is this guy really stupid or fake?

"Luffy! This guy is our enemy now!"

Before Vlad could answer, Zoro, who had already woken up, interrupted with a gloomy expression.

"what?!"

Luffy turned to look at him, then looked around, his pupils suddenly contracting.

His friends were all tied up and lying around him, Sanji, Franky, and Usopp were even unconscious with their faces covered in blood.

"Vlad, aren't we friends? Why are you attacking us!"

Luffy didn't understand. Isn't Vlad Ace's partner?Aren't they happy friends in Alabasta?

Why do you want to do this!

"Luffy, I'm sorry, but I had to do this. I hope you can forgive me."

Vlad walked up to Luffy, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, knelt down and gently wiped the blood on Luffy's face.

Without waiting for Luffy to ask, Vlad continued.

"You know, your brother Ace, he killed the person I respect most in the world, so I want to take revenge on him and let him experience the feeling of losing a loved one."

These words were said calmly, but they resounded in Luffy's mind like thunder, making him unable to believe it.

"Impossible, Ace would never do such a thing!"

"You should know about the death of 'Four Emperors' Whitebeard, right?"

Vlad didn't argue with Luffy, he helped him sit up, brought him a glass of water, fed him to drink, and then slowly narrated.

"Dad, all of us in the Whitebeard Pirates call the captain this, because compared to the captain who leads us on the sea, he is more like the father of a family, giving us care and warmth.

but! "

Speaking of this, Vlad suddenly paused, his lips trembling as if trying to suppress pain.

"Dad, he died because Brother Ace was too willful. He refused to listen to dissuasion and went after the traitor alone. He made dad worry about him all night long, which caused his old disease to relapse and he died critically."

"Uh... This probably has nothing to do with Luffy's brother. Whitebeard just happened to be unable to hold on at this time..."

Zoro really couldn't understand how much Whitebeard's death had to do with Ace. How could someone become critically ill because of too much worry?

"Sauron."

Chopper, the ship's doctor, suddenly called out to Zoro, stopped him with his eyes, and said solemnly.

"In medicine, changes in mood do affect the physical condition. Some people with terminal illnesses will live longer or shorter for many years because of the difference in mood."

His savior Dr. Siruluk is an example. He once suffered from a terminal illness, but one day he saw a cherry blossom rain that would never appear on Winter Island. The amazed Siruluk was in a good mood, and his condition was cured. ease.

"If what he told is true, Whitebeard's death does have something to do with Luffy's brother."

Vlad brought another glass of water, walked to Chopper and squatted down, fed him to drink, and at the same time said:

"You are a respectable doctor. Even when life and death were at stake, you never lied and insulted medicine. When it comes time to kill you, I will give you a happy ending."

"puff!"

Chopper suddenly squirted out the water he had not swallowed, rolled his eyes and fainted from fear.

Vlad put down the cup, stretched out his hand to smooth the hair on Chopper's head, and continued to tell the story about how he made up his identity to join the navy.

“I was born in a village on a small island in the New World. The people in the village were all very nice, and my life was very ordinary but very happy.

Until one day, a pirate named Roger came to the island. His men had a conflict with the village chief over a trivial matter, and then...

The village was attacked by this group of pirates. They killed everyone except me, who escaped by hiding in the cellar. "

Having said this, Vlad wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head and looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath.

“When I learned that Ace was Roger’s son, I thought about putting hatred on him, but I held back.

When is the time to retaliate? The chains of hatred will drag us all into the abyss and into darkness.

Besides, Ace and I are brothers, I can't do this, our dads both have white beards! "

The Straw Hats were silent. They began to understand Vlad's approach. If they had such a bumpy experience, they would be upset.

What's more, now that Whitebeard is dead, the cause of his death is inextricably related to Ace.

blue blue-

At this time, the phone bug on the table rang. This was Vlad's new phone bug. Statham would contact him through this phone bug when something happened.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Vlad did not avoid the Straw Hats and answered the phone in front of them.

"Long time no see, Vlad."

The voice that the phone bug imitated made Vlad's pupils tremble, and he quickly looked at the appearance that the phone bug imitated. It was a familiar chicken coop afro.

Vega Punk!
