The four people on the mountain cable car hanging high in the sky stared at each other with the girl sitting by the round hole on the stone wall of Cigu Peak.
The wind and snow are whistling...
From a distance, you can see that the girl was obviously startled!
Lin Qi pointed at her and asked: "Is there such a cave on that columnar mountain wall?"
In the comics, Luffy carries Nami on his back and bites Sanji to climb the peak little by little.
Dalton was a little surprised, "Is it Rose? Why is she here..."
Kuleha smiled and said: "No wonder the team of hunting doctors can't catch her. It turns out she is hiding in a place like this."
"But how is this possible?" Dalton wondered, "Lose is just a weak little girl. How could she climb the snow-covered Drum Peak?"
The cable car is still slowly moving upwards, heading towards the palace on the top of the mountain. You can see the round hole in the mountain wall, the girl Rose trying to leave in panic...
Lin Qi said: "Since we all know each other, let's just call her and ask her."
Huh? Before Dalton could realize what he meant, he saw Giorno jump up and jump out of the mountain cable car.
Hey! He was shocked, this was high above the mountains with the howling cold wind! If he fell like this... what was that?!
Dalton was shocked to see that after Giorno jumped out of the cable car, he was walking on flat ground in the cold windy sky. Every time he took a step in the air, he stepped on the air with a crisp sound, and he jumped like that.
The ground quickly swept towards the circular cave on the wall of Cigu Mountain, and landed easily in front of the young girl Rose at the entrance of the cave. Her tall body almost covered half of the cave entrance, and the howling cold wind blocked her behind.
"..." The girl who looked fourteen or fifteen years old stared wide-eyed and her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Unbelievable! This man is actually flying!
She looked in horror at the tall man coming through the wind and snow.
But the man was not looking at her.
"This hole..."
Lin Qi took a closer look at the entrance to the cave where he was standing at the moment. The outline and edges were extremely smooth, making it an extremely perfect circle.
Taking the perfect circle of the entrance as a cross-section, the entire cave extends into a regular cylindrical shape...
"Who are you?" Rose shrank back into the cave with a little fear.
Lin Qi picked her up by the shoulders and jumped out of the cave.
"Ah!" Rose exclaimed.
Lin Qi stepped on the moon steps a few times, carrying the girl tightly hugging his arm and staying in the air. He turned around and looked... On the stone wall of the columnar mountain, the circular hole quickly closed and disappeared.

In the cold wind, the stone walls were smooth and cold, seamless and without traces.
"Haha, we are really destined!" Lin Qi smiled, carrying the screaming girl and flying away.
………………
The mountain cable car had already ascended for a certain distance. When there were crisp sounds of "pop", "pop" and "pop" approaching in the cold wind, Dalton and the others knew that Giorno was back.
To be honest, after Giorno left, he thought about whether he could get angry and subdue this woman named Xu Lun first...
However, after discovering that Xu Lun's calm and calm expression had not changed at all, and after glancing at him, Dalton finally sat still on the bench of the cable car without moving.
Although the bounty is lower than Giorno's, this woman is also a terrifying pirate worth 330 million beli...
"call!"
The cold wind rushed into the cable car, and Lin Qi led the girl back through the wind and snow and got in.
He let go of the girl he was carrying.
"Lose." Dalton went up and helped her up.
"...?!" Rose was rubbing her butt, and was startled by the black bison head that came into view, "Ah!"
After seeing clearly that it was Dalton, I felt a little relieved.
Rose glanced around and saw Kuleha who was also sitting in the cable car. Her panic calmed down a lot. At least her legs were no longer weak and she could stand up on her own...
"I was shocked. I thought they were those people hunting doctors..." Rose patted the snowflakes on her clothes.
She glanced at the handsome young man who looked very tall even after he sat down. The latter was talking softly to the beautiful woman next to him. The woman looked surprised and looked towards her.
"I didn't expect to be able to fly in the air. I thought I really couldn't escape this time and it was completely over! Fortunately, okay..."
As Rose spoke, the vigilance in her eyes did not completely disappear.
Dalton asked: "Have you been hiding in a cave like that this year? How did you do that in a place like that..."
"This is my own business." Rose said seriously, "I don't want to tell you."
"It's the Guan Guan Fruit!" Lynch chuckled, "A superhuman devil fruit that can create 'pipes' in any environment and can also turn objects into 'pipes'..."
"..." Dalton glared at him, a superhuman devil fruit?
Lin Qi asked strangely: "You said she came from overseas to study medicine. She has been here for more than a year. Why, don't you know about the ability of this tube fruit she possesses?"
He looked at Kuleha and Dalton.
"When she came, doctors were no longer welcome in this country." Kuleha looked at the falling snow outside the cable car. "She hid here and there. It's good to be alive until now."
"..." Dalton was silent, looking ashamed, and looked at Rose, "I thought you had left this country long ago..."
Rose was silent.
…
[One and a half years ago. Drum Kingdom. The wind and snow are as old as ever...]
[Guard Captain Dalton walked in the snow with a sad face.]
[What kind of stupid king would be so willful and arbitrarily promulgated laws to expel all the doctors that his country is proud of? 】
[The cold wind blew on his face, calming his angry heart a lot.]
[There was a rustling noise all around, and Dalton was startled. Horns appeared on his head. He turned around and saw a girl sitting in the snow. She patted the snow on her body and stood up. 】
["Who are you? I have never seen you..." Dalton asked.]
["My name is Rose!" The girl who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old was carrying a bag on her back, her delicate cheeks were slightly red from the cold, and she was filled with a smile. "Is this the Drum Kingdom? It's really like the rumors - it's so cold.
Yeah! I’m here to learn medical skills!”]
["..." Dalton clenched his fists and sighed dejectedly, "I'm sorry..."]
[The girl naturally looked disappointed and disbelieving, and ran towards the palace regardless of Dalton's obstruction. ]
[Dalton looked at the place where the girl appeared, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart. Why... there were no footprints of her arrival in the snow? 】
…
At that time, Rose appeared but did not leave any footprints. It turned out to be because of the Devil Fruit... Dalton finally understood now. Although it was not clear how this ability that Giorno called the Guan Guan Fruit was achieved, since
It's a devil fruit, so it should have the ability to do impossible things...
"Knowing that doctors are no longer welcome in this country, why don't you study medicine somewhere else?" Robin asked.
"That is to say," Lin Qi nodded in agreement, "Cigu Island is not the only place in the world with advanced medical science, right old lady?"
Phew! Kuleha threw a punch, but Lynch turned his head to avoid it.
"Of course." Kuleha said, "This world is too big. The medical level of the Drum Kingdom is only famous in the first half of the Grand Route. There are great doctors everywhere!"
"After all, there are patients who need doctors everywhere, right? As long as there are patients... there will be doctors who will come forward. This is natural." This beautiful woman who is over a hundred years old said with a smile, "For example, I
I heard that there is a place in the South China Sea where herbal medicine is very developed..."
"Ah." Lynch and Robin looked at each other.
"..." Rose lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she slowly spoke, "My hometown... is sick."
"Huh?" Lynch and Robin looked over.
Rose lowered her head and said: "Everyone is sick... I want to learn powerful medical skills to save everyone... So, I can't run away... But I can't do anything... I can't do anything well...
"
The girl's body was shaking. She held her knees with one hand and covered her eyes with the other hand. Tears flowed from her fingers.
"..." Dalton also trembled, clenched his fists, and unknowingly he had tears in his eyes. He was filled with boundless shame, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please forgive this country... for not being able to help."
To you, I’m really…sorry…”
"..." Kuleha wanted to take a sip of wine, but unfortunately she finished it.
Lin Qi touched his chin at this time, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and asked: "I said, Rose... are you some kind of princess from a certain country?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Robin, both Kuleha and Dalton were very surprised.
Where did he get the idea from?
How is this possible!
"This..." Rose raised her tearful eyes, but her eyes were glancing around in panic, "How is this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, this, and this, this, this, and this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, this, this, this, and this, this, this, and,s was is possible? How could I be a princess, hehehehehe..."
It’s so fake! You can’t lie at all!
Dalton and Kureha stared, looking at Rose's obviously guessed expression, feeling very speechless.
Just as he was about to continue talking, the cable car bumped into something slightly and stopped.
"Ah," Lin Qi looked up, stood up and said with a smile, "Looks like we've arrived at the right place."
"...!!" Dalton's heart tightened as he watched Giorno and his female captain walk out of the cable car together and stepped onto the top of the flat and wide columnar mountain. In front of them was the towering palace castle in the wind and snow.
Regardless of whether Rose was a male or a princess, Dalton hurriedly followed the two men.
Rose was quietly breathing a sigh of relief when she looked up and saw Kuleha's half-smiling face.
"Want to come and take a look?" Kuleha walked out, "It's not often you can see such a powerful pirate taking action."
"Pirates?!" Rose was shocked and chased him out of the cable car.
………………
"Is it really okay?"
Residents of several towns in the Drum Kingdom have gathered together, and they all look worried.
"Although that Valpo is a bastard...but he is still the king of this country after all!"
"Are we just going to watch him being killed by pirates?"
Everyone looked at the newspapers and reward orders that they had found. The 330,000,000 beli under the photo of Kujo Xu Lun and the 400,000,000 beli under the photo of Giovanna Giorno. So many zeros almost blinded them, the island residents.
eyes, such a terrible pirate came to their country to cause harm, just thinking about it makes people's hands and feet tremble.
"No!" the old hunter with a weathered face said in a serious tone, "As a citizen, the king is threatened by pirates, how can we just sit idly by and ignore it?"
at last……
Hundreds of Cigu citizens gathered together, picked up their weapons, and rushed to the cable car one by one, heading to Cigu Peak where the royal palace is located without hesitation.
"Now... is the time to unite and face the outside world!"
"Help the king repel the pirates, and then we will have a chance to change his mind and revoke the law on hunting doctors!"
"We can't just give up on the king, we can't let pirates run amuck in this country!"
The residents discussed the matter heatedly and shouted while holding up shotguns and other weapons.
When the cable cars stop one by one...
The residents holding shotguns swarmed forward, shouting and rushing towards the royal palace and castle standing in the wind and snow.
"Down with the pirates!"
"Kujo Xuren! Giovanna Giorno! Stop!"
"..."
Soon, everyone stopped in the open space in front of the palace and castle. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
In front of everyone, in the cold wind, only one Dalton was left standing there, with his back to everyone, looking up at the Drum Kingdom flag fluttering in the cold wind on the top of the castle.
"Dalton, what happened?"
"Are you OK?"
"Did you drive the pirates away?"
The villagers walked up with doubts and walked around to the front of Dalton.
"Those two pirates...eh?!"
Everyone was shocked to find that Dalton, who was standing alone in the cold wind and looking up at the national flag at the top of the castle, was already crying and sobbing. The tears on his face solidified his eyelashes in the cold wind, and even froze them into pieces.
The strands hang on the chin like ice picks...
"Hey! Dalton! What's wrong with you!"
The residents who came to the rescue asked loudly and worriedly, "Why are you crying! Where are the two pirates? Where are they?"
The villagers boldly broke into the palace and castle, but no matter how they searched, shouted, or searched... they could not find any trace of anyone.
King... ministers... soldiers...
And those two pirates are all gone!
"Where have they all gone?"
“Can’t find it anywhere!”
"There is no one at all! What happened!"
"Dalton, have you become stupid? Speak quickly!"
The leading old hunter village chief looked ugly, covering his head and said with difficulty: "Could it be...that pirates kidnapped everyone? Dalton..."
Hot tears welled up in Dalton's seemingly frozen eyes again, and he said sadly:
"It was our King... who abandoned this country without hesitation!!"
…
[Not long ago, Lynch and Robin walked towards the royal palace and castle standing in the wind and snow——]
["Wai~~ Is anyone at home?" Lynch shouted as he walked away, "Is your king Valpo here? I have something to do with him!"]
[His voice echoed in the wind and snow in front of the castle, but there was still no response.]
["How is it possible..." Dalton, who was covered in bruises, followed up and looked at the empty and unresponsive castle in disbelief. "Where are the soldiers? Where are the people in the escort? Everyone should have gotten the news a long time ago. It should have been long ago.
Get ready to meet you..."]
[The guard captain rushed into the castle, and anxious roars echoed throughout the castle.]
["King Valpo! Where are you!"]
["Your Majesty the King! Come out! This country needs you!"]
[The black bison ran wildly throughout the castle. Finally, when he heard a weak gasp, he stopped in a hurry, only to find an ordinary soldier from the guard lying in a pool of blood. 】
["What's wrong with you! Sogel, where are King Wapol and the ministers?" Dalton picked up the soldier with blood on his head and asked eagerly with tears in his eyes, "The pirates have already attacked the palace.
Where is everyone?!"]
["King Wapol... they..." The dying soldier used his last strength to grab Dalton's collar, "all... escaped..."]
["...?!!" Dalton's tearful eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, holding back the unspeakable shock and grief, "Who...injured...you?"]
[The soldier opened his mouth... "Idiot! How can you defeat those two pirates! Do you want this king to die? Bastard! You are my king's soldier, right? Just die for me...
..." Wapol's curses when he led all the soldiers and the 20th Medical Group to evacuate the palace echoed in his mind... In the end, the soldier just smiled miserably, and finally said nothing. Two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he grabbed Dalton.
The hand on the collar slumped down.】
["There is really no cure...that bastard Valbo!!"]
[In front of the dead castle, Kuleha, who could probably guess what happened, obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. She sighed and her face was buried in the shadows.]
[Robin looked up at Lynch and found that he didn't seem too surprised, he just laughed a few times.]
[The castle was filled with mournful roars that reached into the sky, and even the snow shook and shook off.]
…
At the top of the peak, in front of the palace and castle, the cold wind was biting, but it could not withstand the coldness in everyone's hearts at this moment.
"What kind of king is this..."
The residents gnashed their teeth with tears in their eyes, covered their faces and said angrily, "You abandoned your country without hesitation because you were afraid of pirates!!"
With a roar, the huge Dalton fell to the ground slumped.
The old hunter village chief sighed and patted Dalton on the shoulder, "Where are the two pirates?"
"Gone..." Dalton looked at the sky with a frosty face, "Flyed into the sky and left, maybe to look for Valpo and the others who fled this country..."
………………
In the snow on the outskirts, a huge tree covered with snow filled the room with lights.
This is Dr. Kuleha's residence, a house in a tree hole.
The beauty, who was over a hundred years old, was drinking and drinking with an expressionless face. Suddenly, she heard the movement outside. When she opened the door, she saw three figures standing high and low in the snow where the cold wind was whistling.
Lin Qi raised his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, old lady, it's so cold outside, why don't you invite us to your house?"
