[One Piece] Lava and Red Rose

"According to the agreement, I will bring 'her' with me this time."

[………]

"Hehehe... Don't do this with me. Don't even think about meeting her. I will take her for an examination myself. I can turn a blind eye to what you do during the period."

[………]

"...Then it's settled. I'll let her wear 'that' token. As for whether you can make it in time, it's not within the scope of my task."

[………]

"Don't be so irritable Marshal, oh, it should be called 'former marshal'... Hehehe, I asked you to take a look at her in the dark, you gave me the place of that idiot Moria, this is our one It's a good deal from the beginning, as for whether she is the person you want to see, I have never guaranteed it."

[………]

"Is it a day or two for me to be an asshole? Hehehehe... You really get more tempered as you get older."

Click.

The phone bug's communication was cut off decisively, and the tall blond man in a pink feather coat had a gloomy expression, not at all as arrogant and reckless as he was on the phone just now, but rather anxious.

Doflamingo's eyes under the sunglasses searched around the room, and finally landed on a dark red velvet jewelry box quietly placed on the bedside table.

The thing in that box was the 'token' sent by the old marshal after he reached a deal with the Warring States by a registered letter sent by the courier gull.Doflamingo got up and walked over, pinched the low-key but luxurious velvet jewelry box with his slender knuckles, rough but dexterous fingers, stared at it with a frown, wondering what he was thinking.

"咚咚-"

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, he responded, and the person outside pushed the door open and walked in.

"Let's have some supper, you haven't stepped out of the room much today."

It was his blind cousin who came in.Inesis walked into her cousin's room with a meal in her hand. In an unfamiliar environment, without a cane to explore the way, she could only carefully explore the surrounding obstacles and walk slowly. Go to the dining table in the room and put the tray down.

Doflamingo gave a absent-minded hum, but still stood there and tossed the jewelry box without moving.

"'Um' what, come over for dinner."

Innissi skillfully laid out the meals. The appetizer was clam soup, the main course was Steak Wellington, and the dessert was vanilla cheese panna cotta, plus some fruit and vegetable salads. Hulala set up half the table.

Although she is blind, she has been taking care of her two youngest sons and taking care of her career-minded older bachelor cousin. When the Don Quixote family's nanny and killer BABY-5 is away, She took care of Flamingo's basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, so she was very proficient in doing these things at this time, including the old mother's behavior of urging people to eat, which was also very natural.

In private, the mother, Inesis, completely raised her wayward and arrogant cousin as another son, worrying about all kinds of things, such as...

Worrying, her cousin is almost forty, and there are many butterflies around him, but none of them can catch his heart... If this continues, her twins may be older than them Uncle gets married first...

so sad...

Thinking of this, Innissis sighed unconsciously, silently pulled out the cork of the wine bottle with a corkscrew, and poured a half glass of red wine for the blond cousin who obediently walked over to eat.

Doflamingo stuffed something into his mouth absent-mindedly, chewing his mouth profusely, noticing his cousin sighing suddenly, he gave her a strange look, and said inarticulately:

"What are you thinking, suddenly sighed."

Innissis habitually pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Doflamingo, just like eating with the twins who came home late, and ate with him: "I was thinking, when will you be able to settle your lifelong affairs? , don’t be lonely and miserable in old age.”

………… Although the sunglasses blocked the view, Doflamingo still rolled his eyes speechlessly, continued to bite into the steak wrapped in puff pastry and mushroom stuffing, and said indifferently: "You Is it my parents or is it purely due to the attributes of the aunt of the neighborhood committee? Have you become obsessed with urging me to get married recently? yourself."

Innissis poured herself a little red wine, pinched the part of the goblet close to the base and slowly swirled the wine in it, letting the aroma of the grapes spread in the air, and said calmly, "I can What are you worried about? First, you don’t let me know what happened to me before, second, you don’t let me ask what kind of grudge I have with those forces that chased and killed me, and third, you don’t let me step out of the country... I want to worry, but you Give me a clue of worry."

Doflamingo: "..." Who is he doing this for? !grass……

The elegant posture of the blond young woman tasting wine was instinctive, and when the taste of the red wine was almost evaporated, she took a shallow sip, feeling the mellow taste of this bottle of fine red wine spreading on the tip of her tongue, Inesis was in a strange mood Relaxed:

"Okay, I can go to Malinfordo tomorrow. You should tell me the purpose of taking me this time tonight." Supper is second, and it is her middle of the night when this matter is clarified. The real purpose of running here.

Doflamingo had almost wiped out all the food in a storm. He casually picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, picked up the dark red velvet jewelry box, and pushed it in front of Inesis:

"This is yours. Put this on when you land on the island tomorrow, and don't take it off before you leave the island."

Inesis frowned suspiciously, and touched the palm-sized jewelry box with her fingers. The soft and smooth touch of the fine velvet slid from her fingertips to her fingertips, making her chuckle involuntarily. :

"I didn't see you giving me jewelry when I was not blind. Only at this time..."

Inesis subconsciously opened the jewelry box, groping for the jewelry inside with her fingertips.

The cold, smooth pendant seems to be in the shape of a water drop, and the slender chain also seems to have delicate engravings. Inesis tries to visualize this jewel that is known to be of great value at the first touch, but It can only be vaguely observed that this is a delicate necklace with a simple style, and the engraving on the chain seems to be like vines...

"...What kind of gemstone is this, it feels very warm to the touch..." It seems...as if it can calm people's hearts.

Doflamingo looked at the nostalgic look that flashed across the eyebrows of his cousin with a complicated expression, like an illusion, the blond young woman didn't even notice it.

Doflamingo: "...the emerald is a green emerald."

Innissis: "Hey, it's emerald. It's really rare. The price of this kind of gemstone from the East should not be cheap. It will cost you a lot."

Doflamingo thought to himself: No, it was your husband (or ex-husband?) who spent the money, and I have nothing to do with it.

She happily accepted the necklace, and Innissis didn't bother to ask why, since Dover asked her to wear it during her landing on the island, she should wear it.

After asking around, that person wouldn't tell her, and she didn't bother to speak.

Seeing that his cousin seemed to accept his 'relic' very well, Doflamingo was in a complicated mood, but finally swallowed the words stuck in his throat, and asked instead: "Where is your diamond ring?" ? Why can't I see you wearing it?"

"Diamond ring? Oh, that wedding ring." Innissis was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out her left hand. Sure enough, the ring finger was empty, and there was no sign of the ring that symbolized love and vows.

Inesis chuckled lightly, and said: "I think...the wedding ring carries the love and vows between two people, and it is a token that connects each other. Now I don't remember the past, and even made a vow to me. The other half has no memory, it seems... not worthy of that ring, so I didn't wear it anymore."

"It's too much to occupy this vow and forget about the other party... Hehe~ When I recover my memory and remember who the child's father is, let him bring it to me again." The blond woman Say so.

Brother Doflaming frowned unconsciously, looking at his cousin who was close to him because of memory loss (it was a family...), for the first time in his life, he actually started to have a An emotion called 'escape'.

It would be fine if this guy remained like this for the rest of his life. At worst, he would protect their mother and child for the rest of his life. As long as he was still domineering in this ocean, no one would be able to touch them, whether it was the Tianlong people or the world government.

But... can things be that simple?

Doflamingo had a premonition that the time to end their rare and peaceful relationship and break the deadlock would come soon.

For this reason, it is also time for him to release the traces of his cousin, so that the forces on the navy side are alerted.

Despite these calculations, going to Malinfordo this time was purely an accident——

Doflamingo: "... Tomorrow I will send you to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Naval Headquarters. There is a man who recently came there. He is an experienced doctor with excellent medical skills. I will take you to have a look. Maybe he can fix your eyes. Do it well."

As the government's front office with the most powerful military force in the world, the Navy Headquarters naturally has the world's highest configuration and strongest medical capabilities. Although Innissi's body has recovered well in recent years, her eye disease has been incurable. He used to work in Marie Gioia, and was recently recruited by the First Affiliated Hospital of the Navy Headquarters to learn about an old doctor specializing in ophthalmology. After much deliberation, Doflamingo decided to take his blind cousin on this trip.

This is the real reason why he promised the twins this time, and brought his cousin who had been hiding all along to go to Malinfordo together.

And you can get a fortune from the Warring States by the way, why not do it?

Innissis smiled at her cousin a little moved, and said softly: "So that's the case, you took me to get my eyes fixed." Her cousin's arrogant nature deeply buried in his bones is really... Sometimes It popped out suddenly, which made her feel very cute.

Labeled as 'tsundere' and 'cute', uh, Doflamingo didn't say anything, but silently took a sip of the red wine in his glass, with a gloomy expression on his face:

"But you can't land on the island like this."

Innissis: "Huh?"

Doflamingo suddenly pulled out a nasty smile, bared his teeth and said, "Sill, do you like makeup? The kind so that the sons don't know their mother."

Inesis: "...What do you want to do?"

-

…………

........................

What else can I do?

It's nothing more than changing her appearance into another person.

Valentin: "Kassan! This way!"

Vladimir: "Watch out for the steps... Kassan!"

"Wow!!"

Goddamn connecting stairs, the last one is more than twice as high as the upper one! !

Inesis almost stepped on the air and rushed forward, and she was about to hit the ground on her face!Fortunately, Doflamingo grabbed her arm and dragged her back, which saved the tragedy of the blind young woman who first landed on Marineford Island and fell to the ground with blood all over her face...

Doflamingo cursed and carried the man down, with an irritable expression on his face: "I said you can't get rid of your uncoordinated hands and feet since you were a child?! Look at the way, you idiot!"

Carried on his shoulders, Inesis, who was not let down until she disembarked completely and stepped on the land of Marinfordo, covered her face and felt ashamed: "...This is really impossible, I'm blind Ah..." You are really blind, you are not lying...

Doflamingo made a cut, and stretched out his hand to pull up her somewhat messy hood, completely covering most of her face before finishing.The tall blond pirate touched his chin with a playful smile and looked at his cousin after the 'disguise', grinned with satisfaction and said, "Hehehe, it looks pretty good. Hey little devils, what do you think?"

Valentin and Vladimir were stunned when they were called by their brother-in-law, and then they blinked and looked at the 'mother' in front of them hesitantly...

A dark red half-length cloak, a large hood that covered most of the face, black hair scattered from the shadow of the hood, silky and straight, draped over the chest.A white high-necked classic long-sleeved shirt with a sapphire egg brooch pinned to the neckline, a fluffy dark blue tunic dress, and suede round-toed white mid-heel shoes. The whole set wraps the tall young woman from head to toe From her neck to her arms, her side waist, and even her thighs, the large tattoos of roses and cherry blossoms are covered tightly, and the heavy makeup on her face makes it almost impossible to distinguish the original appearance of the woman... To say If there is anything to see, it is probably only the delicate necklace with emerald drop-shaped pendant protruding from the collar of the cloak.

The twins looked at each other with tangled faces.

………… If they hadn’t known it in advance, they would never have recognized who this person was.

It could be anyone, anyway, it would definitely not be their real mother.

Amidst Doflamingo's arrogant and wanton laughter, the 'make-up' Inesis sighed helplessly, having completely lost the idea of ​​exploring what she looks like now.

Forget it, let him mess around...

Anyway, she is blind and can't see other people's eyes, so it doesn't matter.

Innissis took the black wooden cane handed over by Valentin and thought to herself.

The author has something to say:

Well, I play a meme, everyone who plays it knows it, knocking on the bowl every day and waiting... Really... (It’s okay to spoil me for myself...

Hurry up and finish writing ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

PS: Don’t ask whether the Warring States got the chain to dig a grave...you can just think of him as digging a grave...
