One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

"Mr. Cora, you can't move around right now."

Inside, Luo was taking care of the injured Corazon.

He hadn't forgotten what Corazon had told him before he came to the island.

After he ate the fruit of the surgery and was cured of his illness, they went into seclusion.

"You can't die now..."

Outside the room, Kitahara Tsune was watching the pirates outside kill each other under Doflamingo's control.

Now that he's standing under the eaves, Doflamingo's thin threads can't reach him, so there's no way he can control them.

Moreover, he possesses Armament Haki, which his opponent cannot control.

But at some point, Dolly sneaked up to him.

He glanced furtively at the two people in the room and whispered to Kitahara Tsuneo:

"Sir, I have some news to tell you."

Kitahara Tsune looked at the diminutive Dori and asked, "What news?"

"I suspect that the man named Corazon is the one who took the surgical fruit."

Kitahara Tsune raised an eyebrow and said, "He's a Silent Man who ate the Silent-Silent Fruit, and he wants the Op-Op Fruit too? What does he want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Dori became anxious and quickly said, "Isn't that child next to him suffering from Platinum Lead Disease? Of course, we should use the Op-Op Fruit to cure him!"

Kitahara Tsune smiled, patted Dori's head, and said, "It's best to keep this to yourself and not tell anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Dolly slumped down completely.

He had originally hoped to gain some credit through this news.

Although he hadn't done anything particularly heinous, he was, after all, the son of the pirate captain.

Since he wants to join the current navy, he naturally needs to earn some merit.

Having a general idea of ​​what the kid was thinking, Kitahara Tsune said, "If you want to redeem yourself, join the Navy and capture more pirates."

"You also grew up in a pirate crew, so you naturally know how ruthless and brutal they are to ordinary people."

"You wouldn't want what happened to you to repeat itself, would you?"

Kitahara Tsune looked at Dori with encouraging eyes.

After hearing this, Dori was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "I will work hard to become stronger and then join the Navy."

Kitahara Tsune smiled and said, "It's about joining the Navy and then striving to become stronger."

"If this incident goes smoothly, you will train under me."

Dori's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Kitahara Tsune with great respect.

"Oh, right," Kitahara Tsune said, "Remember what happened about the Op-Op Fruit earlier, and don't tell anyone."

As he spoke, he looked at Law, who was taking care of Corazon inside the room, and said, "That child is a pitiful fellow too."

"And who knows, you might need his medical treatment if you get injured in the future."

Dolly immediately replied, "Yes, sir, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Kitahara Tsune nodded and walked into the room.

"Corazon," Kitahara Tsuneo said, sitting down next to Corazon. "Do you have a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to contact Sengoku?"

Corazon naturally wouldn't hide anything from his savior. After listening to Kitahara Tsune's words, he pulled out a Den Den Mushi from under the black feather coat.

The Den Den Mushi was quite small and could be easily concealed on one's person, making it ideal for an undercover agent like him.

This type of Den Den Mushi is extremely rare and can only make one-to-one calls, so there is almost no risk of it being eavesdropped on.

"This is a Den Den Mushi that can directly connect to Mr. Sengoku's side," Corazon said.

Even Corazon, who was Sengoku's direct subordinate, usually only reported to Sengoku via Den Den Mushi (a type of communication device).

Since the Sengoku period gave him this one-to-one Den Den Mushi, he has hardly ever used it.

Kitahara Tsune took the Den Den Mushi and pressed its shell.

Brub brub bru—

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) went busy, but no one answered for a long time.

Seeing this, Kitahara Tsune looked at Corazon lying on the ground.

Corazon looked puzzled and said, "I'm not lying to you, this really is able to contact Mr. Sengoku."

Kitahara Tsune remained noncommittal, looking at the birdcage that stretched to the sky, and said:

"It seems that thing has the function of blocking Den Den Mushi signals."

"We need to take care of that thing first..."

"Commander Kitahara Tsuneo, please don't act rashly."

Seeing Kitahara Tsune's eager expression, Corazon tried to stop him.

Kitahara Tsune had previously stated that Lieutenant General Tsuru was on his way, and now all they had to do was wait for rescue.

Kitahara Tsune chuckled softly: "You're too obvious right now. As a spy for the Don Quixote family, you'll be discovered very quickly if you keep this up."

"Luo, remove his makeup."

"And that black feather coat is too conspicuous. I'm a bit cold, so I'll wear it."

Then, under Corazon's surprised gaze, Law unhesitatingly washed off the makeup on his face with water and handed the conspicuous black coat to Kitahara Tsune.

Looking at Corazon after removing his makeup, Kitahara Tsune nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, very energetic, that's more like a navy officer."

Then, Kitahara Tsuneo asked with some curiosity, "You said before that Doflamingo is your older brother, right?"

Corazon nodded. He had already exchanged some information with Kitahara Tsune, explaining his position in the Don Quixote family and how he met Sengoku Marshal.

"In that case, have you ever seen what Doflamingo looks like without his glasses?"

Corazon was taken aback by what he heard, and then fell into deep thought.

Yeah, as Doflamingo's younger brother, how come he's never seen what this guy looks like without his glasses...?

Corazon became increasingly lost in thought, rummaging through the memories in his mind.

It seems that ever since I can remember, that guy has always worn a pair of red sunglasses and has never taken them off.

After a long silence, Corazon shook his head and said, "I've never seen it..."

There was a hint of emotion in his tone.

When Kitahara Tsune asked this question, Corazon realized that he had never really understood his older brother from the beginning, which explained why the older brother later did things that Corazon never even dared to imagine.

"I see..." Kitahara Tsune said with a hint of disappointment upon hearing the reply. "It seems there are some things I'll have to investigate myself."

As he spoke, he decided not to linger there and headed to Ghost Town in the center of the island to wait for Doflamingo to come to him.

The other party probably already knew that the Operation Fruit had been stolen, and then sealed off the entire island of Minion with a birdcage.

Kitahara Tsune donned the black feathered coat and strode arrogantly toward Ghost Town in the center of the island.

"You all rest well and stay here without moving around. I'll be right back."
