The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Zhan Guo sighed softly, already having the answer in his heart.

What he needs to do now is to find the undercover agent who had contact with Rosinante and the others.

Before that, he first needed to make sure that Rosinante was still alive.

"I hope you're still alive, Rosinante..."

Zhan Guo silently gazed into the distance, silently praying for and blessing it.

......

North Sea, above the sea.

A flamingo-shaped ship was fleeing at high speed, with a warship close behind, firing a shot every now and then.

"Dover, at this rate, it will be difficult for us to reach Minnion Island in a short time."

Braving the seawater stirred up by the cannon fire, Trebol, a member of the Doflamingo family, spoke with a helpless expression.

"Since He is blocking us like this, it seems that it is true. My dear younger brother has betrayed me."

Wearing a pink overcoat, Doflamingo clenched his right fist, gritted his teeth, and suppressed the endless rage in his heart.

He believed he had treated Rosinante well, but in the end, he was betrayed by his own brother.

He would never accept such an outcome.

Chapter 246 Two people who depend on each other for survival on the island of Minion

Mignon Island.

This is an island that is usually covered in ice and snow.

This place was once occupied by pirates, but after the incident with the Op-Op Fruit, it returned to its original tranquility.

In the ruins of a castle, the thin Luo sat with his knees drawn up to his chest in front of a fire, staring blankly at the flames, tears streaming down his cheeks, his expression filled with self-reproach.

Not far from him, Rosinandi lay seriously injured on a simple blanket, still unconscious.

"Damn it...it's all my fault!"

Luo unconsciously cursed himself, and tears flowed even more fiercely.

Not long ago, Rosinante got entangled with pirates and finally brought back the Op-Op Fruit, but as a result, he suffered serious injuries.

At that time, the Navy had just arrived at Minion Island. Rosinante, who was injured, entrusted him to deliver to the Navy the list of transactions and names of people between Doflamingo and the major underground forces in the North Blue.

He did as instructed, but unfortunately, he gave it to the wrong person.

No one expected that the person he handed the list to would be Vergo, the previous Heart executive of the Doflamingo family.

As a result, Rosinante was beaten up and almost lost his life if other naval personnel hadn't come to his aid.

After surviving, Law and Rosinante avoided everyone, only daring to move around in this pirate ruin, living off the leftover food of the pirates.

Even after several days had passed, he still felt that his own stupidity had ruined Rosinante.

"Cough cough..."

Rosinandi's cough interrupted Ro's thoughts.

Luo's face lit up with joy. Ignoring his nearly frozen body, he struggled to his feet and crawled to Rosinandi's side.

"Mr. Corazon!"

Corazon is Rosinante's code name within the Doflamingo family, and also what others usually call him.

"Oh, it's Luo... How are you? Is your lead poisoning any better...?"

Rosinante's voice was broken and intermittent, but the meaning behind his words made Rosinante's tears flow uncontrollably again.

Even though he was injured to this extent, he still cared about him. This was the only Mr. Corazon he had ever accepted...

“I’m alright, Mr. Corazon! Yes, you just woke up. I’ll get you some water.”

Luo wiped away his tears, tried to force a smile, and crawled over to find water for Rosinante.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the day he first met Rosinante.

At that time, Rosinante was always mean to him, constantly punching and kicking him, as if he wanted to drive him away.

He even stabbed Rosinandi in the back because of this.

However, he later learned that Rosinante did this to him in the hope that he would break away from the Doflamingo family and prevent him from sinking deeper and deeper into this dark path.

After he was diagnosed with lead poisoning, Rosinante disregarded Doflamingo's orders and left the family to seek medical treatment everywhere.

Although each time he sought medical treatment, it would evoke unpleasant memories of the white town.

But every time he saw Rosinante's earnest expression, he couldn't bear to refuse.

After his parents, sister, and playmates died in that white town, Rosinante was the only one who was kind to him.

In order to cure his platinum lead disease, she later risked her own life to retrieve the fruits of surgery for him and made him take them.

Such kindness deserves to be repaid; it is time for him to do so.

He carefully poured a glass of water, slowly moved back to Rosinandi's side, and fed him the water before Rosinandi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the still extremely weak Rosinante, Ronaldo's face showed apology:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Corazon, if I had a better grasp of the Devil Fruit's power, I could have helped you heal."

"Learning Paramecia-type Devil Fruits takes forever. You just lied to me, didn't you? You still have your lead poisoning."

Rosinandi recovered slightly, his voice sounding weak, but he was able to speak in complete sentences.

He gazed at the white markings on Luo's face, a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Mr. Corazon, I'm alright!"

Luo smiled and shook his head. He had no interest in developing the fruit at the moment, and didn't even know how to use the Op-Op Fruit to heal himself.

If he could immediately possess the power of an Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit), he would first want the ability to heal injuries, rather than the ability to cure Platinum Lead Disease.

"You little rascal, you're still as stubborn as ever."

Rosinandi sighed but didn't say much more. Their situation wasn't good right now, and resolving the current crisis was the key.

"Did you see my Den Den Mushi when you moved me here?"

Rosinante's gaze swept around the campfire, but he didn't see a Den Den Mushi, and a hint of disappointment crossed his face.

"Vergo took the Den Den Mushi, it's all my fault..."

Upon hearing this, Luo immediately lowered his head in self-reproach.

"What does this have to do with you? You don't even know Vergo. Who would have thought that Dover would send him to infiltrate the Navy?"

Rosinante shook his head slightly, indicating that Rosinante shouldn't overthink it.

But deep down, there was a slight heaviness in my heart.

The inability to contact the outside world meant that he was unable to communicate with Sengoku or tell him about his situation.

Knowing he's still alive, Vergo will definitely try to contact Doflamingo.

If Doflamingo gets to Minion Island first, they'll be in big trouble.

“Are there any ships around? We’d better get out to sea as soon as possible,” Rosinandi decided.

"Ah... there are no ships around anymore, just ruins. We still have plenty of food, enough to hold out until the rescue ship passes by," Luo reassured them.

"It's alright, just wait."

Rosinandi sighed inwardly, without telling the other party about his current situation.

Since everything is left to fate, there's no need to say anything to Luo; saying anything would only add to the trouble.

"Alright, Mr. Corazon, I'll make you some porridge!"

Luo couldn't see through Rosinante's deception and was happy that the other had woken up. He struggled to get up and prepared to eat.

Looking at the busy Rosinante, a hint of tenderness appeared in Rosinante's eyes.

......

North Sea, Don Quixote.

“I understand... Only one person left the main force? I get it. Doflamingo's side will be yours to hold them off.”

Sengoku hung up the communication with Tsuru and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? There's been new progress?"

Luther, who was leisurely fishing, saw Sengoku's appearance and asked a question in a leisurely manner.

“If there is an undercover agent, then we have already identified the candidate. Doflamingo is currently being held back by Tsuru, so his arrival time is estimated to be later than ours,” Sengoku said.

"Do you need my help?"

Luther asked casually, not thinking it was a problem that Sengoku could find Vergo.

Given the Warring States period's control over the navy, if they were to truly identify a target and investigate, there would be no one who would escape.

"No need. Once we've determined Rosinante's condition, I'll deal with him personally."

After Sengoku learned that Doflamingo would arrive later than them, he calmed down and sat down next to Luther to slowly start fishing.

Seeing Sengoku's composure, Luther smiled meaningfully.

Based on his understanding of his cousin, he knew that cousin was not the kind of person who would sit idly by and wait for his fate.

Tsuru is quite intelligent and capable, but while keeping an eye on the Doflamingo family's ship is easy, keeping an eye on Doflamingo himself is not so simple.

Chapter 247 Doflamingo Forced to Leave

a few days later.

When Sengoku received the news that Doflamingo had appeared on Minion Island, his face turned as dark as could be.

These days he hasn't chosen to send the surrounding navy to find Rosinante. No one can be sure if there are any Doflamingo spies among these navy personnel.

“Your Highness Luther, Doflamingo has set up a birdcage on Minion Island. He can sweep through the entire island in four hours at the latest.”
