One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, Aaron emerged from inside, carrying Pica, and lightly landed on Fombardy's dragon back.

"Boss, was that weird, funny sound coming from this muscular guy?"

Aaron replied, "Yes."

Fombey shook his head: "I just can't connect this person with that voice. Haha!"

Yun Que smiled and asked, "Senior Aaron, why did you bring him here? Is he still alive?"

Aaron said, "He's dead. I'm going to throw him in front of Doflamingo."

Luo, panting, said, "Major General Aaron, this idea... might not be a good thing."

Aaron said, "I know. This will enrage Doflamingo. He may unleash his full potential from his original strength of ten, perhaps even twelve, due to his anger."

Luo nodded: "That's right."

"But anger can also cloud his judgment and cause him to lose his reason."

Luo sighed, "That's not wrong either."

"Law, no matter how angry a praying mantis is, it can't stop a moving car."

Luo said, "I hope my worries are unnecessary."

Without waiting for Aaron to give any further orders, Finbuddy flew towards the high ground of the royal palace.

"Boss," Fombard said, "how about I unleash a dragon breath attack and wipe out Doflamingo and his crew?"

Aaron said, "There might still be some ordinary people in the palace."

"Understood! The boss's motto is to never let a bad person go unpunished, nor to wrongly kill an innocent person."

Aaron said, "People cannot be simply defined and distinguished by good and bad."

In just over ten seconds, Finbuddy had already landed on the high ground of the royal palace with several people.

Finbuddy transformed back into human form, and Bernard helped Luo up.

Lark leaned against Aaron and moved the gun in front of him.

Luo took a deep breath: "We're here again."

Luo struggled to his feet, gasped for breath, and looked towards the palace.

There were hardly any people outside the palace; it was very quiet.

But Law was certain that Doflamingo was here.

"Wow..."

Faint sobs could be heard as a little girl with blue hair, wearing a red hoodie and coat, and carrying a small basket of grapes in her right hand, walked out of the palace corridor.

"Mom...where are you? Mom..."

The lark let out a soft "oh," her maternal instincts overflowing, and was about to step forward.

Aaron said, "Wait a minute."

Yun Que turned around: "Senior Aaron, this little girl can't find her mother and must be very scared. Let's help her."

When the little girl saw someone, it was like seeing a savior. All her grievances and fears were released at once, and she cried even louder.

Lark felt a pang of sadness and was about to step forward when Aaron grabbed her arm.

Lark turned his head in surprise and saw Aaron smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in that smile.

Yun Que frowned slightly, took a step back, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"

"Yes."

The lark gazed at the little girl, suppressing the sympathy and affection he had felt for her.

There was no sound from inside or outside the palace; the little girl's appearance was too abrupt.

Despite her panic, the little girl still carried a small basket of grapes.

While it's normal for children to have a sweet tooth, this small basket of grapes is not light and not something an average child could hold for a long time.

The grapes were smooth and clean, with a round, glossy surface. The little girl's left hand still had a trace of purple grape juice on it.

In particular, it was highly unusual that Doflamingo had not reacted at all and had not sent anyone to investigate, even though his group had been there for so long.

Although Yun Que couldn't figure out the little girl's identity, alarm bells were already ringing in her mind.

"She's just a little girl, why be so cautious?" Fombardy said nonchalantly.

He spoke, but his feet didn't move an inch.

The little girl cried even louder as she walked step by step toward Aaron.

Lark's brows furrowed even more deeply.

When children are afraid and cannot find their relatives, they often choose to seek help from women.

This is a subconscious behavior because women are more likely to feel pity and protectiveness towards children.

What's more, this is a little girl, who was just looking for her "mother".

Why would Aaron be the first choice when there's a girl like Hibari right in front of him?

As the little girl drew closer and closer, only a few steps away, Yun Que still couldn't figure it out.

The little girl's crying suddenly stopped, and she looked at Aaron with her two tearful eyes.

Lark was immediately startled; she saw cunning, cruelty, anger, and hatred in those eyes...

This is an emotion that a child's eyes could never perceive.

Just as Lark was about to speak, he heard Aaron's voice in his ear.

"I killed Monet."

Lark was baffled, not understanding why Aaron would suddenly say such a thing.

But she could see that the little girl in front of her was startled, and in her shock, tears welled up in her eyes.

It was heartbreaking.

This is also an emotion that a child would not have.

The greatest pain a child can experience is nothing more than spilling their favorite food or losing their beloved toy.

They cannot yet comprehend the pain of losing a loved one.

Yes, that's the kind of emotion that child just saw.

Lark suddenly realized, "Could this child be Monet's daughter from Punk Hazard? Green hair...it really is possible..."

"What...what did you say?"

The little girl trembled with fear. "You've killed someone?"

Aaron laughed, "That's right, I've killed a lot of people. Monet with green hair, an afro-haired guy named Gladius, and another one named Vergo."

The little girl's eyes widened, her pupils trembling violently.

Aaron slapped his forehead. "Ah! I almost forgot, I just killed a guy named Pica. Don't let his tall and big appearance fool you, he spoke like a woman."

"what!"

The little girl jumped up and slapped Aaron hard with her left hand.

Aaron's expression changed, and his domineering Conqueror's Haki condensed into a thick bolt of lightning, which entered the little girl's body.

The little girl didn't even have time to scream before she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

"Huh?" Finbuddy was taken aback. "Boss, this..."

Yun Que asked, "Senior Aaron, do you know her true identity? Could she really be Monet's daughter?"

Aaron said, "No. She's Monet's sister."

Hibari nodded: "It makes perfect sense if she's my younger sister."

Aaron turned his head: "Luo, do you know her?"

Luo looked at her and shook his head: "I left the Don Quixote family 13 years ago. This little girl looks to be only about 10 years old. I don't know her."

Aaron laughed and said, "Would you like to take another look?"

Luo stared at the little girl's face again, examining it closely. "That's strange. I recognize this face, but it shouldn't be like this!"

"You really know her?" asked Fombardy curiously.

Luo said, "I remember now, I know a little girl who looks a lot like her, named Sugar, she is indeed Monet's sister. But she..."

Aaron said, "She is Sugar."
