The pinnacle of the navy! It all started when Garp captured him Chapter 037

The medical cabin of the returning naval ship was filled with the smell of disinfectant, the walls were snow-white, and the instruments were flashing faint lights.

Rosinante was wrapped in bandages all over his body, lying quietly on the hospital bed, his breathing weak but steady.

Beside the hospital bed, young Luo was lying on the sheets, his little hands tightly grasping the corners of the quilt, with traces of tears still on his face, but he had already fallen into a deep sleep, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, making him look particularly fragile.

At the door, Roy stood quietly watching the scene, his gaze was gentle, but a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand to adjust his cloak, and finally did not go in to disturb them. Instead, he gently closed the door, moving so carefully as if he was afraid to disturb the tranquility in the ward.

Turning and walking towards the bow of the ship, the sea breeze whistled in, bringing with it a slightly salty smell.

The morning light shone through the thin clouds onto the deck, as if casting a layer of warmth on the cold steel.

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, looking deeply at the skyline that was gradually illuminated by the rising sun, as if he was thinking about something.

“What a touching scene~”

A lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind, with a hint of teasing.

Kizaru appeared beside him at some point, with his hands in his pockets, shoulders slightly hunched, looking heartless.

Roy didn’t look back: “The surgery fruit has been eaten by Luo.”

Kizaru raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face: “What a trouble! That kid will become a walking 5 billion Baileys. Be careful when you go out~”

“So,” Roy’s voice was low and firm, “he must return to the Navy with us.”

Kizaru shrugged, as if he didn’t care at all: “For this kind of thing, you should go and explain it to Marshal Sengoku. I don’t want to get involved~”

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body turned into countless golden light particles and drifted away with the morning breeze.

Apparently, he was off fishing again.

Roy watched the light disappear at the end of the deck, and couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing helplessly.

Just then——”Bulu Bulu Bulu——”

The Den Den Mushi in my arms suddenly rang, with its eyes half closed, making a regular “brubru” sound.

Roy lowered his head, held the Den Den Mushi in his palm, his eyes flashing slightly.

“Hello.”

“Roy…”

Sengoku’s voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, hoarse and tired, as if he had been busy all night.

Unlike his usual majesty, there was a hint of… gratitude in his voice at this moment?

“Marshal Zhan Guo.” Roy’s voice was calm, but his tone was full of respect from the heart.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, as if he was calming down.

Then, Zhan Guo took a deep breath and said in a low and sincere voice: “Thank you… for saving Rocinante.”

Roy was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, then he shook his head, his tone gentle but firm: “You are too kind, Marshal Zhan Guo, this is what I should do.”

“No……”

Zhan Guo’s voice suddenly trembled, with deep emotions and guilt: “That child… is very important to me.”

Roy did not answer immediately, but just listened quietly, as if he could feel the heartbeat and breathing of the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

After a long while, Zhan Guo seemed to have adjusted his mood and continued: “I have heard about the operation fruit.”

“yes.”

Roy nodded, his brows slightly furrowed, “Roy ate the surgery fruit…his ability is now attractive to all forces.”

There was silence for a long time on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, with only the sound of wind passing through the gaps in the bridge.

Then, a deep sigh sounded: “Take him back to Marinford, I will personally arrange the follow-up protection.”

“clear.”

Roy gently closed his eyes, slowly raised his gaze to the deck where the morning light was shining, and a hint of a smile was faintly visible.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the medical room through the porthole, it fell warmly and softly on the bed.

The faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the air, and it was so quiet that it felt as if time had slowed down.

Rosinante slowly opened his eyes and squinted them slightly, as if he was still adjusting to the light before him.

He felt the soft bed beneath him and the bandages wrapped around his body, and suddenly realized that he was still alive, and a faint sense of relief welled up in his heart.

He slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the small figure beside the bed——

Young Luo was lying on the edge of his bed, sleeping soundly.

The boy’s little face was buried in the quilt, slightly red, his long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings, and one little hand was still tightly clutching the corner of his quilt, as if he was afraid that he would lose it when he woke up.

Rossinante was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and a hint of tenderness and cherishment appeared in his eyes.

“This kid…has he been guarding here all this time?”

As if sensing his gaze, Luo’s eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw the familiar and warm figure in front of him, his golden pupils widened instantly, tears welled up in his eyes and burst out in an instant.

“Mr. Cora—!”

Luo threw himself into Rocinante’s arms, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, and cried with relief and fear: “I thought… I thought you would never wake up again…”

“Hiss! It hurts, it hurts—”

Rosinante gasped, but he still chuckled and raised his hand to touch Luo’s hair, his voice filled with doting smile: “Little boy, be gentle… I am seriously injured now.”

After hearing this, Luo quickly let go of his hand and hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. His little face flushed slightly because of the nervousness and joy just now, but the corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed and rose.

Near noon, the door of the medical room opened silently.

Roy stood at the door, holding two steaming lunches in his hands, leaning leisurely against the door frame, looking at the two people who were chatting happily on the hospital bed with a gentle smile.

“It looks like you’re recovering well, Rocinante.”

Rosinante and Luo turned their heads at the same time. Seeing the person coming, Rosinante subconsciously sat up and saluted: “Major General Roy——”

“Stop it.”

Roy raised his hand to signal him to lie down, then walked into the room and put the plate on the bedside table. “Eat your lunch while it’s hot.”

The plate contained rich and exquisite naval food, and the broth had an enticing aroma that made people’s mouths water.

Rossinandi looked at the two plates of food and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: “Thank you… If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid we would…”

Roy pulled a chair over and sat down, his eyes calm but revealing a reassuring power: “It’s my duty.”

The room was silent for a moment, but Luo kept staring at Roy, with a complex and awed look in his eyes:

“Is this person… the one who made even the powerful Doflamingo flee? Mr. Korra is able to survive because of him.”

After a moment of silence, Rosinante finally asked, “I heard… you let Doflamingo go?”

Roy turned his head and looked at him, then nodded slightly: “Yes, in exchange for all their family’s resources and intelligence.”

Hearing this, the corners of Rosinante’s mouth twitched slightly, with a complicated and tangled expression: “I understand your considerations…but that man, I’m afraid he will…”

Roy raised his hand slightly to interrupt him, his voice low and calm: “I know, but some things can’t be completely resolved now.”

Rosinante was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and sighed, “Yeah… No matter what, he is still my brother after all. Even if I hate him, I can’t help but feel complicated…”

Roy was silent for a moment, then looked at the young Luo with a serious and solemn look: “Marshal Zhan Guo has already made arrangements. Luo will follow us back to Marinford to receive systematic training.”

Rossinandi smiled slightly, turned his head and exchanged glances with Luo, as if they had already reached some kind of unspoken understanding.

“That’s fine with me.”

Rosinante’s voice was gentle but firm, and he looked down at Luo: “What about you, kid?”

Luo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: “I must become stronger, strong enough… strong enough that no one important to me will ever get hurt again!”

Roy looked at this young but resolute boy quietly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: “Very good.”

In the afternoon, the warship continued to sail steadily towards Marinford.

Rosinante half leaned against the window beside the bed, looking at the vast blue ocean outside, a smile of emotion and relief appearing on his face.

Luo stood quietly beside him, looking into the distance against the wind.

At the bow, Roy stood there quietly, “The rest of the journey… is up to you guys to walk.”

Looking at the endless ocean, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth——

“But, with me here, at least you won’t get hurt so easily anymore.”

The sea breeze was howling, the sun was shining, and the warship was moving steadily in the direction of hope.
