Adoption of Pirates Doflamingo

Chapter 145 The Arrival of Number One
When everyone woke up, they found a strange man guarding Robin.

Sanji also woke up and found Zoro lying on the side. After confirming that he was still alive, he was also relieved, and then he looked at the man guarding Robin.

Robin also woke up and found the man standing beside him, and said in surprise:

"Mr. One?"

"Number one?"

Usopp wondered.

"who are you?"

As a newcomer, Brook didn't understand what was going on at all. The man in front of him gave him a bad feeling, which made him shudder. Unfortunately, he had no skin and only a handful of bones left, so he couldn't shed a cold sweat.

"You should have seen it."

Chopper said in surprise:
"Could it be that, looking at your outfit, you are number two from before?"

"Oh, number two."

"No, it's still a little different."

Sanji said, the two felt completely different to him, and they should be able to tell the difference.

Everyone looked at Robin, because according to what Sanji and Zoro just woke up said, it should be the man in front of them who saved them, and this man is a subordinate of the Sea King, who called Robin the eldest lady.

"Sea King? Who is that?"

Nami replied:
"Hey, Luffy, that's the Mr. Adrian we saw before!"

"Hey, Luffy, I have taught you this before."

Usopp added.

"Oh, it turned out to be Grandpa Adri's, that's really lucky. Needless to say, I feel a lot lighter."

"Really, Luffy, you were seriously injured."

"Ghost knows, I feel good now!"

Everyone looked helplessly at the lively Luffy.

Robin also asked at this time:

"No. [-], why did you appear here? Did father send you to protect me secretly?"

Number One shook his head and said:
"No, it's just that the eldest lady has suffered a life-threatening incident recently, which made the adults feel it."

Robin was a little puzzled:

"Threat to life? Oh, I remembered, before that we saw the sun and were almost wiped out. Fortunately, the shadow came back in time."

"Oh, that's it," said Franky. "That's going to scare us."

"That appears to be the case."

Number one said calmly.

"That's why the adults sent me here."

Usopp stepped forward:
"So, thanks to you, we're saved?"

"No, it's not, even if I don't come, there will be two tough guys to resist."

"Tough guy?"

"Two?"

"It means Zoro and Sanji!"

Laura and others also wake up, they are the victims of Moria.

Seeing that Laura had regained his senses, No. [-] took a rare step away from Robin:

"Excuse me, are you Charlotte Laura?"

asked number one.

Laura was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to herself:
"Huh? Are you talking about me? I do have this full name."

"Huh? The captain's full name?"

"It's the first time I've heard of it!"

"Charlotte?"

Laura looked at Number One on the side again:
"How do you know my full name, I don't know you?"

Laura was a little curious. Those who could tell her full name could only recognize her mother.

Between One and No. [-] slowly took off his hat, revealing his full face for the first time.

"You, it's you!"

Laura suddenly became excited.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"I'll just say the name of the person you mentioned just now. I thought it was just the same name."

"Laura, what's wrong?"

Laura calmed down and looked at everyone:

"I know the Adriatic you are talking about. In fact, it is my uncle Adriatic, who is my mother's friend."

"Laura's mother?"

"That's right, the captain's mother is a very powerful pirate in the New World."

Someone on the side echoed.

"Uncle Adri took good care of me and my brothers and sisters when I was a child, and this gentleman has been a close friend who has always accompanied Uncle Adri."

For a moment, everyone was a little overwhelmed. They didn't expect such a relationship.

"I didn't expect Mr. Adri to know Laura's mother."

"Grandpa Adri actually knows so many people."

"Sure enough, our meeting is inevitable."

Just when everyone was discussing eagerly, there was one person who was silent at the side, smoking a cigarette silently, and did not speak.

The banquet started soon, but Robin found that two people were missing. Robin didn't say anything about it, but continued to immerse himself in the banquet.

on the other side in a quiet place
"What do you have to do with me?"

"Blackfoot, Sanji."

Number one looked at the person in front of him coldly.

At this moment, No. [-] had put on his hat again, and it was pressed down very low, so that people could not see his face clearly.

Sanji lit a cigarette, did not speak, just fell silent for a while, hesitated for a long time, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then said:
"Mr. Adri has known my identity for a long time, right?"

"Your identity is not a secret."

Number One said calmly, asking Sanji for a cigarette. His calm tone made it impossible to feel any fluctuations.Sanji fell into silence again, isn't it even a secret? Sanji was a little lost.

"Then you at that moment, why?"

Sanji didn't continue to ask, he thought it was a useless question.

One looked at the hesitant Sanji, didn't say anything, but waited quietly.

The last number still spoke:

"If you're just thinking about this boring question, then I'm leaving."

Sanji stopped him, but he still hesitated, and his mind still remembered the kick that No. [-] had done back then, as if it was a deeply engraved memory that lingered in his mind.

Sanji hesitated for a moment, before speaking:

"you"

When Sanji was in a coma, a memory came to his mind, and it was displayed in front of Sanji like a revolving lantern.

How many years ago was that?Sanji can't remember, maybe ten years ago, when he was a boy, living in Germa Kingdom under the care of his father, Vinsmoke Gage.

In his impression, father is synonymous with strength and cruelty.

His father treats him badly, because he has extraordinary abilities unlike other brothers and sisters, and in his father's words, he will be a failure.

Until one day, two unexpected guests arrived.

His father separated him from his siblings and received each other alone.

At that time, he was naughty and mischievous and came to the outside of the reception room by accident. Through the concealed door, he saw a scene he would never forget there.

The person sitting in front of his father had his legs crossed, and his hands were laid on the sofa very casually. Sanji only saw the other person with black hair from a distance, exuding a cold aura all over his body, which made the young Sanji bear the pain at that time. He couldn't help stepping back, but driven by curiosity, he still peeped through the crack of the door.

In the meantime, his father acted a little cautiously. This was the first time he saw a heroic father, that arrogant and powerful father sitting so solemnly.

Next to the man opposite his father stood a man in a windbreaker and hat.

Sanji couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it seemed that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse. His father had already stood up with a fierce look on his face, which made Sanji break into a cold sweat for the person opposite him.

But at this moment, the power of the man in the windbreaker behind the black-haired man first disappeared in place, and then teleported to his father. Without giving his father any chance to react, he just kicked him when he went up.

Vinsmoke Gage, the king of the Kingdom of Germa known for his force, was kicked away. The quick kick caught people off guard. Gage was thrown out and fell heavily on the wall. Go up and break the wall directly, but the soldiers on the side are indifferent.

Sanji only remembered that he was terrified at the time, and he was so frightened that he ran away in a panic.

He spent the following days in fear, probably because his father didn't see him, so he didn't come to him, but he knew that during that time, his father was kicked and lay on the bed for a few days, cursing all the time, but For these children, he kept silent about these things.

The memory is over, and Sanji gradually wakes up.

At this moment, Sanji looked at No. [-] in front of him, and the original figure gradually overlapped with the current figure.

"Was that person you at the beginning?"

Sanji asked for proof, his eyes were earnest, although he didn't want to talk to his bastard father, he just wanted to know if the one who was sitting on the sofa was Mr. Adri, and if the one who kicked Gage was the man in front of him .

Number One was silent for a while, looking at Sanji in front of him.

"At the beginning? When are you talking about?"

Sanji realized his mistake, and it was impossible for the other party to remember.

"Sorry, I was rash."

Number One looked at Sanji and said silently:
"If you're talking about the time I kicked your father before, it was me."

Sanji froze for a moment.

Number One continued:

"So, the little guy who hid behind the door and thought others couldn't see it was you, Vinsmoke Sanji?"

"Ah! What are you doing?"

"Right."

Sanji suddenly felt relieved and lowered his head.

Number One continued to ask:
"So, does the little guy have anything to say?"

Sanji raised his head slowly, the corners of his mouth raised and he said:

"Thank you, beat that bastard."

Sanji smiled.

Number one waved his hand:

"I'm just following the orders of my lord."

"Sanji, you're back? You missed a lot of good things!"

"That is to say, Sanji, you missed a lot of delicious meat!"

"Luffy, besides meat, what else is in your mind?"

"Hey, everyone get along well."

"Yo ho, everyone is making a fuss!"

Sanji looked at the noisy crowd, showed a helpless smile and joined in.

Robin also noticed the empty back of Sanji, there was no one, it was empty, but she didn't say anything.

Sanji rejoins the party.

After reveling for a long time, Luffy finally realized:
"Eh? Where's uncle No. [-]?"

"Yeah, why, didn't you see it just now?"

Usopp was also puzzled.

"That's it."

"Robin, didn't you see? I thought the other party was following you all the time?"

Robin shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

At this time, Sanji was drinking, and slowly said:

"No. [-] left first, he asked me to tell you later."

"Eh? Really or not?"

"Then you didn't have a carnival with us?"

Sanji looked at Robin's face, didn't care about other people's words, and took another sip of wine silently.

In the meantime, Robin looked calm, leaning on the window, looking out at the moonlight.

On top of the ruins, under the full moon was a figure in a windbreaker. Robin saw that figure bowing slightly in Robin's direction to say goodbye, and then disappeared into the night.

Robin smiled
