The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was full of clouds.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the tall figure of the commodore, casting a long shadow on the ground.

The sea was calm, and seabirds swooped over the waves, chirping.

Senior looked at Darren standing there smoking, with smoke lingering around his angular profile. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"Master Darren, since we can't be friends, why don't you just kill him?"

If he's not a friend, he's an enemy.

And the enemy must be completely eradicated.

This is the philosophy of life that Senior learned from the Don Quixote family.

Darren smiled upon hearing this,

"Although that guy has a broken arm, I can't kill him."

Barrett's combat power is already close to the level of a navy admiral. Although after the "imprisonment" in the past period of time, the speed of his physical data improvement is definitely much faster than Barrett's, but Barrett's Armament Haki is stronger than his.

In terms of overall strength, if a fight breaks out on land, Darren estimates that he will not be able to gain any advantage.

Thinking of this, Darren's eyes were full of emotion, and his tone was full of meaning:

"And Senior, do you know?"

"For people like me, sometimes enemies are more important than friends."

Senior nodded, not quite understanding, and asked:

"So what should we do next?"

"That life card has been destroyed in the previous battle, and the navy's reinforcements may not be able to find it here."

Darren shrugged indifferently:

"There is no rush for this, after all, they still need some time to clean up the mess."

If the Warring States Generals found Kaido's base camp according to the instructions of the life card, they would definitely fight Kaido.

However, if the combat power sent by the navy is really as Senior said...

Darren's mouth twitched.

I couldn't help but pray for Kaido silently in my heart.

"Let's find a town to recover first. It's a small matter for me. Although you are not in danger of life for the time being, you still need treatment."

Senior nodded in agreement after hearing Darren's words.

His physical condition was indeed very bad. There were large areas of burns on the surface of his body. If he was not treated in time, he might suffer organ failure due to infection and bleeding.

"Plague" Quinn, the big boss of the Beasts Pirates, was indeed terrifyingly strong.

With his little combat power, he was as weak as an ant in front of these big pirates in the New World, and could be easily stepped on to death.

Wait!

'It's a small matter! ? '

Isn't Lord Darren's injury much more serious than mine?

He was also imprisoned and tortured for so many days——

Senior subconsciously looked at Darren, trying to identify Darren's injuries.

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open.

Scabbed...

————

One day later.

A neutral island in the New World.

A prosperous trading town.

"The patient's wounds have been treated with medicine. The situation is not dangerous. Be careful not to get wet within a week and change the dressing in time."

"Thank you, doctor."

Darren said to the doctor with a smile, and stuffed a large stack of colorful banknotes.

"No, no."

The doctor said while evading, but let Darren stuff the banknotes into his medicine box.

After the doctor left, Darren smiled and said to Senior, who was sitting next to him:

"How do you feel?"

Senior was naked from the waist up, wrapped in a bloody bandage, and a suit jacket was draped over his shoulders.

"I feel much better."

He smiled a little weakly.

Darren threw a cigarette over, lit one for himself, and smiled:

"Senior, my previous proposal is serious, do you want to reconsider it?"

"With your talent and strength, it's a bit of a waste to stay in the Don Quixote family. Although Dover has great potential, he is not mature enough in many cases and often acts on impulse."

"To be honest, you should also understand his character. As his godfather, I have been worried about him a lot."

"I need outstanding talents like you here. As long as you ask, I can provide you with power, status, wealth, and the most abundant training resources in this sea."

"As long as you agree, I can even recommend you to join the next officer training camp."

"No need to doubt, I definitely have this ability."

Darren looked at Sai with a burning gaze.

Nior.

The calmness, reaction, tenacity, action and toughness shown by Senor in previous actions are indeed very much to his liking.

Coupled with his special ability of "Water Water Fruit", if properly cultivated, he can definitely become a powerful helper for his subordinates.

The most important thing is that Senor is only sixteen years old now!

What does it mean to have such qualities and talents at the age of sixteen! ?

At least one thing Darren can be sure of is that Senor has been staying in the Don Quixote family in the original plot, which is indeed a waste of too much time and talent.

In the final analysis, this is inseparable from that stinky boy Dov.

Doflamingo... is too bad at cultivating talents.

"Lord Darren..."

Senior smiled bitterly:

"I have to admit that your proposal is indeed very attractive."

His expression was obviously a little moved, but after hesitating for a moment, he clenched his fists, and his eyes returned to their usual indifference and firmness:

"But I'm sorry, I have to refuse."

"Oh?"

Darren raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Senior said in a deep voice:

"When I was naked and about to starve to death, it was Lord Doflamingo who saved me."

A gentle smile gradually emerged at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of memories.

"I still remember that day, he gave me an expensive suit that I could never afford in my life, and said this to me..."

"'Senior, your temperament is very suitable for wearing a suit'... That's what he said."

He raised his hand and gently stroked the material of the suit jacket on his shoulders, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"The young master gave me food, housing, identity, status, honor, and the 'secret treasure' on the sea... that precious devil fruit."

"I have no reason to leave the Don Quixote family."

"So, I'm really sorry, Lord Darren."

Darren scratched his head helplessly and sighed:

"I see, well, I won't force you."

He smiled self-deprecatingly,

"But now I understand Kaido's mood a little bit. It's really uncomfortable to be rejected..."

"Then you have a good rest, Senior."

After saying this, Darren turned around and left the room.

But when he was about to push the door open, he paused, as if he remembered something, turned back again, and said mysteriously:

"But Senior, do you know?"

"Some clothes may not be as expensive as suits, but they are more meaningful."

"And these clothes with specific meanings are incomparable to any high-end suits."
