[Actually, sometimes I think, if I didn’t have you in the beginning, maybe I wouldn’t be afraid of losing you. I’m so afraid of leaving you... What do you think? Tezzolo.]
"Me too... Stella, I... I don't want to lose you..."
Tezzolo squeezed the envelope tightly with both hands, tears welling up continuously. Memories lingered in front of his eyes over and over again, and he could no longer read the words on the letter clearly.
But why?
It's obvious that I can't see at all, but I can still hear what's behind...
Stella's voice can still be heard.
It feels like you are always by my side.
I broke my promise...am I still qualified to have you?
[There are still many things I want to say, there are still many things that have not been said, and there are still many things... that cannot be said.]
"Me too..."
[Na...Tezolo...I have seen you countless times in places where you cannot see. Every time you sing, I can see you.]
"Really?"
【If one day, I go to another world...then you can continue singing.】
"Um..."
【As long as you are singing for me, then no matter where I am, I can definitely hear it!】
"Um!"
[I hope that no matter how long it takes, we can still be the same person in each other's memories. You are still the Gilder who dreams of spreading his singing throughout the world, my... Gilder Tezzolo.]
"ah!!!"
No one could have imagined that the great pirate Gilder Tezzolo, who was known as the "Golden Emperor" on the sea, had his guard broken due to a letter, and knelt down on the shore like a defeated dog and howled, letting the tears flow in.
The sea just disappeared.
The sky at Hailiu Island at night is so quiet and serene that even someone who suddenly appears in the sky may not be aware of it.
"What kind of dog is this that keeps howling?"
Above the sky, a mean voice reached Tezzolo's ears, but the latter did not react at all. He still knelt on the ground holding the letter in his hands and crying.
Doflamingo, who was stepping on silver threads in the sky, looked down at Tezzolo, who was obviously not right, and frowned, his face darkening.
This guy probably didn't take him seriously enough. He was standing here. As a result, this guy who had been chased all over the sea by him actually dared to be so arrogant.
"I don't know what stimulated you, but...you look so ugly!!!"
Bounce the line!
Doflamingo, who was in the air, stretched out a hand, pinched his thumb and forefinger, and pointed at Tezzolo, who was kneeling on the ground, and flicked a ball of thread out.
The next moment, Tezzoro flew backward like a kite with its string broken, and a bloody hole popped up in his abdomen from Doflamingo's blow.
Doflamingo didn't hit Tezoro's vitals, he wanted to kill Tezoro, but killing this guy was no different than losing a golden fruit in vain.
For Doflamingo, who puts profit first, this is really a huge loss of blood, but if Tezzolo can be roped in to the Don Quixote family, used by him, and put to some use, it would be okay.
You can try your best to recover some of the losses.
And if you kill Tezzolo, it will be a real loss.
Tezzolo took this shot and remained silent, lying on the ground and staring at the sky with eyes filled with tears.
Although his eyes were fixed on the dark sky, what he 'saw' was probably the past.
"Tsk..."
Doflamingo looked gloomily at Tezzolo, who was on the ground letting his abdomen bleed. This look...
Maybe it would be easier to take him back and let that guy in Torebol brainwash him?
Doflamingo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he realized that this seemed to be okay. In this guy's current state, he might actually be able to successfully brainwash him.
That's it, let's leave this guy here for now, it doesn't look like he can run away.
Doflamingo turned his head and looked at the sea. When he came just now, he seemed to have seen the Monster Pirates' ship. He didn't know if he saw it wrong.
"Hmph... I'll deal with you later. I'll go look for trouble with the 'Red Dog' first. It's a rare encounter."
When he thought of Kazan, Doflamingo felt that life suddenly had a little more fun.
After murmuring twice, Doflamingo stepped on the silver thread in mid-air and planned to 'walk' in the direction where the monster family left.
rub.
"Um?"
Doflamingo, who was about to continue walking forward, felt that the lines under his feet were becoming heavier, and all the lines connecting the clouds in the sky began to sink.
If this continues, he won't be able to continue chasing Caroso on the line in the air.
Doflamingo looked down and saw that all his threads had turned into gold...
Doflamingo can't even take back this kind of thread.
After cutting off these threads that had been assimilated into gold, Doflamingo landed lightly on the ground and looked back at Tezzolo.
At this time, Tezzolo had already stood up from the ground, stretched out his hands and pinched a thread in mid-air. He used this thread as the center to assimilate other threads into gold.
"Just now, I accidentally fell asleep."
Tezzoro stood up from the ground and stared at Doflamingo without changing his expression.
When he was lying on the ground just now and heard Doflamingo say that he was going to find trouble with Kazan, he suddenly came back to his senses.
It's impossible to let this guy harass Mr. Kazan.
Tezzolo has become different, different from before. This "difference" cannot be expressed in words. Perhaps only the dead woman can understand the changes in Tezzolo.
But what is certain is that.
Kazan, who brought this 'change' to Tezolo, now begins to have a unique status in Tezolo's heart.
If Tezzolo once wanted to gain benefits and achieve his goal of revenge, he hoped to join Kazan's plan.
But now it's different. He still wants to join Kazan's plan, and he does still have the desire for revenge, but in addition, he also has the will to help Kazan.
【I have decided, Stella, I will continue singing.】
[I will trample Mary Joa to pieces, build a stage with the flesh and blood of the Celestial Dragons, step on it and sing, and sing a song that can transcend the barriers of the world and reach your heart.]
[Wait for me again, Stella, this time, I will definitely keep my promise.]
【I will definitely let you hear the words ‘I love you’.】
Tezzolo randomly picked up a water pipe from the street, assimilated it into a golden stick, and pointed it at Doflamingo in front of him.
"Hey, that's interesting."
Doflamingo smiled. Although he didn't know what happened, he thought... this seemed quite interesting.
