The Kingdom in the Ice and Snow

"Impossible, I had clearly escaped just now!" Tesoro's eyes were blank, not understanding why he, who had already escaped, would suddenly appear in front of several people.

"Do you need to try again?" Doflamingo asked in a courteous and understanding manner.

"You're not catching me?" Tesoro asked in disbelief.

"No, you misunderstood ..." Doflamingo laughed harmlessly, "I just want you to understand what it means to be truly desperate."

Tesoro took a deep breath, did not say a word, and was once again swallowed by the Golden Earth Hole.

"Is Apophis ... the one who has freed countless slaves and is feared even by the Celestial Dragons?" Tesoro frantically ran away, while in his heart, he was secretly thinking, "Whether it is him or not, the one who can make even Doflamingo obey orders is definitely a big man among big men."

"This kind of big man, why would he look for me?" Tesoro was running wildly when he suddenly stopped with a "foot brake".

Because he saw the same image again, especially Doflamingo, and even waved to him with a lewd face.

Tesoro hurriedly looked at the sides and behind him, or the golden hole in the ground is not mistaken.

"What the hell is this ..." Tesoro forced himself to calm down, and after a few moments of observation, he finally found a mirror-like layer of space in front of him, connecting the Golden Earth Cave and the ground in tandem.

"This is ... space door!" Tesoro directly drew a cold breath, and without thinking, he turned around and punched a hole towards the left side.

Then, the same space door appeared on the left side.

When he turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, he still saw the faces that were abominable.

No matter which direction he looked from, he could only get the same answer.

There was no way to escape!

Half a day later, Tesoro came out of the spatial door in a depressed manner.

"Tesoro-san, are you not going to continue to escape?" Doflamingo laughed pleasantly.

"If you guys intend to kill me, you shouldn't waste so much time with me."

"That's hard to say." Doflamingo laughed, "Maybe we're just bored and deliberately playing with your will before killing."

"Well, let's stop here." Apophis interrupted.

The scene was deadly silent, and Tesoro realized that the gangsters he had tied up were all dead.

This discovery also dispelled any fluke in Tesoro's heart.

"I found you because I want you to do something for me." Apophis said in a calm tone.

"It is my honor." Tesoro agreed without almost any hesitation; he did not want to challenge the other party's patience with his own life.

"You agreed quickly enough, so afraid of death?" Doflamingo mocked.

"Thank you for the compliment, I have only one advantage, the fear of death." Tesoro smiled coyly.

"I know, what you have in mind right now should be to cope with it first, and then re-enact this scene today after you have mastered the power, right?" Apophis suddenly said.

"Damn, it's the aftermath of the betrayer." Tesoro's face stiffened and hurriedly explained, "Apophis-sama, you misunderstood, I did not think so ..."

"In fact, it doesn't matter what you think now, time ... will let you accept what you have now." Apophis said quietly.

"Huh?" Tesoro, although not quite understand Apophis's meaning, still nodded in good faith and replied, "I will of course follow your instructions, Apophis-sama."

...

Unlike the original path for the development initially, due to the humiliating experience three years ago, Doflamingo did not continue to scourge Dressrosa but chose the base camp in another kingdom of the New World.

Cyprus Island, the kingdom shrouded under the blizzard.

In the palace that initially belonged to the king;

"Apophis-sama!"

The people of the Donquixote family greeted each other, more in reverence than in fear.

"Brother, I miss you so much." Instantly after seeing Apophis, Monet went forward excitedly and said.

Although Apophis rarely appears in the sea these five years, the number of times to visit Monet is not too little, plus Monet's character is on the mild side, so Monet did not jump into the arms as they first met.

It also left Apophis slightly relieved; with Hancock's previous experience, he is unsure what the result of allowing Monet is too close will be.

"It's grown a lot again." Apophis first gently patted Monet's head, after a moment of silence to open the topic in the way of straight men of steel, "how is the fruit development?"

"Brother, you gave me the fruit of course I will be very serious about developing it!" Monet said proudly, with the snowflakes floating around her.

Tesoro, who was amazed at the connection between Apophis and the Donquixote family, almost instantly fainted, and a painful wail was still coming out of his mouth, "Stella, Stella, no, don't do this!"

It is not ordinary snow, but the snow of demented soul that can make the enemy hallucinate.

Within the range of this snowflake's influence, Trebol was the highest cadres, who were not wholly immune to control.

In a sense, eating this Hito Hito no Mi - Mythical Zoan - Model: Yuki-Onna, and by the several times Apophis started to teach Monet, can be said to be the second battle power of the Donquixote family.

And what makes Doflamingo feel painful is that this strong combat power is only used for self-defense.

There is nothing that he can do about it.

The simple tasks do not need Monet's hand, and the complex tasks he did not dare to let Monet do.

The only thing that makes him feel good is that Apophis will also teach the other family members when he is doing special training on Monet.

Mighty does not necessarily mean a strong teaching level, this point is known to Doflamingo, but to his surprise, this argument does not seem to hold in Apophis.

Just a few pointers have improved the whole team's standard significantly, and because of this, Apophis is well respected among a group of family members.

These memories quickly flashed in Doflamingo's mind. With a jolt of sobriety, looking at Monet's eyes full of horror, "surprisingly, even I was confused, although only a moment, but this growth rate is really surprising!"

Apophis is nothing worthy of praise; after all, his other identity is a substitute for ten years in the Marine Headquarters experienced.

"Well developed, with this degree, there is no problem with self-defense roughly." Apophis naturally will not be affected, said with a nod as he grabbed a handful of snowflakes.

"Just self-defense? I thought I was already good at it!" Monet sighed in frustration.

On the other hand, the corners of Doflamingo's mouth twitched slightly; after half a day, most of him in this Donquixote family cannot even defend themselves?

PS: Since most people think not to mess with that change, I will not change it; besides, thanks to the Otsutsuki Haitian and the most handsome small book dragon book friend proposed, I decided to use this snow woman (Yuki-Onna) (￣ ▼ ￣).
