"Title Page Serial·Three Brothers Chapter 2·"You have the nerve to say that you failed to quit smoking again? You go and live your life with cigars, you bastard!"
"Bang! The door was slammed shut by the angry little medical soldier. Shiliu's face was gloomy and he snorted disdainfully."
"It wasn't until his subordinates left and he saw no one around that he hurriedly knocked on the door and begged in a low voice with a grimace. But the door was still closed. After a long time, such an angry word floated into the house——"
————————
Three Devil Fruits are right in front of you.
Among them, the left and right Niu Niu fruits, although they met his requirements, were really ordinary and unattractive.
Du Galileo estimated that when the Beast Pirates are retrieved, these two fruits will only be casually rewarded by Lord Kaido to the lower-level cadres below.
But after Vito introduced the precious ancient Brachiosaurus fruit, his eyes lit up and he became interested. He picked it up and weighed it in his hands.
An ancient devil fruit.
Almost every one of them can give a person extremely strong physical strength and have terrifying potential. Among all animal devil fruits, they are only second in rarity to the phantom beast species.
He decided to stay down.
"Good job."
Du Galileo held his cigar in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction, "With this fruit, my brother Quinn can take this opportunity to be appreciated by Lord Kaido and officially enter the ranks of high-level cadres."
It might even replace the current plague and become one of the three major poster boards of the Beast Pirates.
"hey-hey."
Glancing at the anxious Vito Corleone, he grinned and said:
"As for your Corleone family's desire to establish a trade network in the new world, I can also put in a few good words for you in front of Lord Kaido..."
"Really...really?"
The blond man suddenly lost his composure and couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.
"Then there's still a lie?"
Du Galileo exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Don't worry, I still have some face in front of Lord Kaido. When I return to Wano Country, just wait for the good news to come."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Drought!"
The blond Vito rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth for a long time before gradually returning to normal.
"Come! Lord Drought, let me toast you!"
He toasted and waved to ask the maid to accompany him. His extremely respectful attitude was very useful to Du Galileo.
This rugged man, who was eight or nine meters tall, hugged him from left to right. For a moment, the guests and the host were having a great time, and the laughter spread out of the living room, echoing in the night...
————
About an hour later.
The sky was completely dark, and the stars were shining brightly over Rhodes Island. Du Galileo, who was drunk, was arranged by the Corleone family to stay in the most luxurious hotel room on the island.
The blond Vito, who was separated from the former, hummed a tune contentedly, stepped out of the living room door, lit a cigarette, and walked towards home under the moonlight.
Behind him were several bodyguards in black, silently protecting him all the way.
"Um?"
Stepping into his courtyard, Vito was about to be welcomed into the house by the maids, when he suddenly noticed a thin black-haired figure kneeling there on the cobblestone path, like a lonely sculpture.
Vito's mood suddenly became bad.
"How long has this kid been kneeling here?"
He frowned and turned his head, asking the maid who came to greet him when he went out.
"I've been on my knees since noon, more than nine hours, Mr. Corleone."
The maid lowered her head and said expressionlessly, "If you don't agree to her previous proposal, you will keep kneeling."
"Then let her continue to kneel."
The blond Vito waved his hands in disgust, took off his coat, and threw it to the maid.
Just as he was about to enter the entrance hall, he suddenly remembered the death of Bako a few days ago. It was supposed to be a double happiness tonight, but the duck he got flew away...
Suddenly, there was another unknown fire in his heart. He snorted coldly, turned around and paced back to the thin figure.
Hearing the noise, little Robin suddenly raised his head, clasping his palms together, his pale and weak face full of pleading:
"Please, please, Mr. Corleone... please don't continue to embarrass my sister, she is only nine years old..."
"If you continue to hang her up and deny food and water, she will starve to death on the cross before tonight."
"Punish me, sir, sir...! As long as you can put her down, you can hang me on the cross for any number of days..."
You are only nine years old.
The maid next to her sighed inwardly and turned her head away, unable to bear to look any further.
"Do you know how to beg now? It's too late!"
The blond Vito sneered, leaned down slightly, and poked Robin's eyebrow with his index finger:
"Do you know how much energy and money I have invested in that idiot Bako? For more than half a year, I was about to succeed, but now it's better and everything has been in vain!"
"I asked you to set off to find that pirate group a month ago, but it took you more than twenty days to find the opportunity to administer the drug."
"If you hadn't wasted so much time because of you, a loser who can't do anything, that guy would have been caught by the major general of the first branch of the West Sea! Huh?"
Robin's forehead hurt when he was poked, but he gritted his teeth and did not let out a groan of pain.
"Also, he died in the first branch, but you escaped alive? How come you weren't the one who died there? Huh?"
The blond Vito grabbed Robin's ears hard again, with a ferocious look on his face, and roared:
"Tell me! Are you secretly playing tricks like last time, colluding with the navy, and deliberately sabotaging my plan, right?!"
"I don't!"
Robin's eyes were angry and he raised his head suddenly, but thinking of his sister hanging on the cross, his voice suddenly dropped and he prayed:
"I really didn't, Mr. Corleone, it was just an accident... But no matter what, it is indeed my fault, but my sister and aunt are innocent. Please, don't torture them anymore...
"
"Get away!"
Vito finally got impatient, roared angrily, and kicked Robin hard in the chest.
Robin groaned, and his thin body flew several meters in the air. He slammed against the iron gate with a clang, and when he landed on the ground, his face was already covered in blood.
But she didn't care about this. Seeing that Vito was about to turn around and enter the door, she immediately struggled to get up and knelt on the ground again with a thud:
"Mr. Vito!"
In the past six months, the black-haired girl, who had never shed a tear no matter how hard Vito whipped her, finally burst into tears!
Big tears kept falling from her dark green eyes.
"Please! Mr. Vito! Please...my sister is really going to die! She is really going to die..."
The heartbreaking voice echoed outside the hospital in the dark night, making everyone who heard it feel moved.
However.
Vito still didn't look back. After waving to the bodyguard behind him, he sneered and strode into the house.
"It's too noisy, kid."
The bodyguard in black understood, turned around and came to Robin, took out the revolver from his arms, pointed it at her forehead, and spoke condescendingly:
"It's almost time to stop. If you keep crying like this, if it disturbs the master to rest, don't blame me..."
boom!
Before he finished speaking, his head suddenly exploded in the dark night, blood and brains flew away, and his strong body flew high into the sky, hitting the entrance door with a bang.
The blond Vito, who had already stepped into the door with one foot, paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned around slowly.
"who!"
Several other bodyguards in black reacted immediately and protected him, forming a human wall. At the same time, they drew their guns and pointed them ahead, looking around cautiously.
"The local gangs in Xihai are so rude..."
In the dark night, a faint sigh suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Then, under the aim of countless guns, a tall figure nearly three meters tall pushed open the iron gate, stepped into the courtyard unhurriedly, and said leisurely:
"A special visit in the middle of the night, and the guests were greeted at gunpoint..."
Seeing the visitor appear, the bodyguards in black pulled the triggers at the same time without hesitation. The yellow pointed bullets quickly traced the trajectory in the dark night and went straight towards the tall figure.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The man didn't even have the intention to dodge, he stood still and didn't move, letting the bullets hit his body, making a dull sound like metal clashing.
After several rounds of volley fire, all the bullets in the pistols of the bodyguards in black were empty, and the bullet casings were scattered on the ground, but the figure was still unscathed, walking step by step as if nothing had happened.
This guy... isn't afraid of bullets?
Where did the monster come from!
Gudong... The bodyguards in black swallowed, fear arose in their hearts, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.
And this time.
Under the illumination of the mansion's lights, the tall figure who walked deep into the courtyard finally revealed his appearance to them.
He was clearly a young man of about twenty years old, with an extraordinary handsome appearance, as if he had stepped out of a palace painting. He was wearing a white suit and a pure black shirt. He was elegant and decent, and his figure was particularly slender.
The white cloak of justice behind him was fluttering slightly and rustling in the wind.
"It's actually the Navy?!"
"And he's also a senior general in the navy..."
"Damn it...how could such a guy suddenly appear here!"
In the huge courtyard, both the bodyguards and the rest of the people were panicked.
Only the blond Vito, after a brief moment of astonishment, returned to normal, and coldly looked at the young admiral in front of him:
"The major general's epaulettes look so...recognizable. Are you the deputy base commander of the first branch of Xihai, Noxia?"
Nuo Xia ignored him, but walked straight to the thin black-haired figure.
"..."
Little Robin seemed to be equally shocked by his sudden appearance. At this time, the crying had stopped, but the tears on his face were still wet. He looked up at a loss and watched the man approach slowly step by step.
"Stand up, don't kneel."
She heard a deep voice coming from her ear, and was pulled up by strong arms. Then the man knelt down and looked directly into her dark green eyes with dark eyes.
"I heard a few words from a distance outside, and then I finally understood something."
Nuo Xia wiped the blood from her forehead and frowned slightly, "Why didn't you tell me at the base before that you and your family were in the hands of the Corleone family?"
"..."
Feeling the warmth coming from his skin, Robin stared at him blankly.
"It seems that you still don't trust me, but you did the right thing. From your point of view, you really shouldn't have much trust in a navy at that time."
Nuo Xia said softly, "In the final analysis, it's my fault. I didn't think carefully at the time and didn't know that you still had family members in the world, so you suffered so much injustice here."
"Otherwise, even if it makes you unhappy, I should come to Rhode Island with you."
Robin shook his head desperately, tears already filling his eyes.
"Fortunately, I caught up tonight, it's not too late..."
He rubbed little Robin's head, then slowly stood up straight, turned his head, and looked at the blond Vito who was protected by his body.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was you who was punching and kicking her just now, right."
Obviously the guy in front of me is extremely handsome, and his smile is gentle and family-friendly.
But at this moment, Vito felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast that was eager to devour anyone. The hairs on his back stood on end and cold sweat broke out on his temples.
"You, you..."
He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, held the pistol in his arms with his right hand, and spoke hoarsely:
"How did you find this place? Could it be... that someone sneaked in secretly..."
"Sneak in?"
Nuo Xia smiled slightly, "That's what sewer rats like you like to do. I would never do that."
"What do you mean by this..."
Vito felt even more confused and uneasy. Could it be that a large naval force was also approaching here? But the surrounding night was silent, and there was no movement at all?
Nosha didn't answer.
He looked down at Robin again. On the little black-haired girl's knees, the skin had peeled off and the flesh and blood were blurred from kneeling on the hard cobblestones for a long time.
A moment of silence.
"We cannot deal with the darkness with gentleness and compromise, Robin."
Nuo Xia finally spoke softly, as if he was talking to the little black-haired girl, and also as if he was talking to Vito and the large group of bodyguards in black in the courtyard.
——And the moment his words fell.
boom!
boom!
Boom!!!
In the distant direction of the port, there was a sudden loud sound of artillery. Countless artillery shells were like a sudden shower of wind, or like meteors dragging fireworks, blasting towards the high-rise bunkers and the fortress forts...
The silence in the darkness was torn apart by the shrill screams of the mafia family members and pirates.
"It's the navy, the navy's fleet, landing in large numbers!"
"Asshole, there are too many people, we can't stop you!"
"Help!"
Rhode Island at night.
At this moment, it is as bright as day!
And Nuo Xia also raised his head at this time.
When he looked at Vito again, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by an endless cold look:
"You have to use fire, you have to use light, that's all!"
boom!
Yongen's two swords were unsheathed at the same time, and Nosha suddenly stepped out. His whole body was like a cannonball, and under Vito's frightened eyes, he rushed straight towards the latter!
