Chapter 174 Incorporation
During the waiting period, Luo Tian walked to the dark and damp cell next door.
As he approached, a slight noise suddenly came from the previously silent cell.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly stood up from the corner and walked step by step toward the cell door.
Only when the figure was fully exposed to the dim light did Luo Tian finally see her clearly.
The woman before them had long, dark brown hair that cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, radiating a faint sheen.
Her beautiful, captivating light brown eyes were like a deep lake, making one want to sink into them.
What is most eye-catching is the bright red flower she wears in her hair, like a bright spot in the darkness, adding a touch of life and vitality to the whole scene.
The woman wore a gorgeous flamenco costume, the exquisite tailoring and delicate embroidery of which highlighted her noble and elegant temperament.
When she finally arrived at the prison gate, her gaze was fixed on Luo Tian through the cold iron bars.
After a moment, she parted her lips slightly and said to Luo Tian in a slightly pleading tone.
"Please, please let me go! I didn't join the Don Quixote family willingly!"
As she spoke, the woman's eyes reddened slightly, tears welling up, making her look pitiful.
Then, she took a deep breath and continued to explain.
"Actually, my true identity is the princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa. That despicable Doflamingo coveted my special abilities, and in order to protect my beloved father and our country, I was forced to join them..."
After saying these words, the woman could no longer suppress her grief, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"why?"
Luo Tian looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression. He knew very well her true identity and that she had not lied about what she had just said.
However, Violet was stunned when she heard Luo Tian's question.
"Yeah, why did you have to let yourself go?"
After a while, Violet came to her senses, looked at Luo Tian with pleading eyes again, and begged him.
"Please, spare me! I am your prisoner now, I have no choice at all."
After saying that, she continued to plead with Luo Tian, claiming that as long as Luo Tian agreed to let her go and go home, she would do anything willingly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian did not immediately respond to Violet's request, but instead slowly swept his gaze over her graceful figure.
Feeling Luo Tian's aggressive gaze, Violet immediately felt uncomfortable, as if she were being wantonly violated.
So, she instinctively reached out and covered her body tightly with both hands, her cheeks instantly turning red, and she dared not say another word.
At this moment, Luo Tian suddenly asked.
"I heard you're a user of the Gaze-Gaze Fruit? But to be honest, I'm not particularly interested in that kind of ability. By the way, I was wondering how good your cooking is?"
Violet paused for a moment, then answered.
"Hmm...not bad. Although I used to be a princess, I still have some cooking skills."
Luo Tian nodded, and then continued.
"Oh, I see. We happen to be short a cook on board. Why don't you give it a try? Of course, if you perform well, I might consider granting your wish to go back home to visit your family."
Upon hearing this, Violet immediately responded without hesitation.
“Okay, I’m absolutely fine with that! It’s just that I really hope to have the opportunity to go back to my homeland and see for myself what it’s become. After all, Doflamingo is no longer alive, and I really want to go home and see him.”
“Okay, no problem. I’ll let you go home when I pass by. After all, I’m not an unreasonable person.”
Luo Tian agreed to Violet's request.
Luo Tian's gaze then shifted to the prison cell.
A small child was huddled in the corner, wearing a bear-shaped shawl with a crown on it.
At that moment, when she saw Luo Tian appear, she trembled involuntarily and didn't even dare to breathe.
Luo Tian's gaze fell directly on Sugar.
Sugar was curled up, her face as pale as paper, trembling uncontrollably, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
Seeing this, Luo Tian walked up to Sugar and asked softly.
"So, how about considering joining my ranks?"
Although his voice wasn't loud, it reached Sugar's ears clearly.
However, upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Sugar's body trembled violently, as if she had been electrocuted.
Before she could respond, Tesoro quickly stepped forward, leaned close to Luo Tian, and whispered something.
"Luo Tian, this woman's abilities are somewhat unique, and there are many uncertainties involved. Do you really want to recruit her into your ranks?"
Luo Tian turned his head slightly, glanced at Tesoro, and revealed a confident smile:
"What's the harm? It's just a Fun Fruit, nothing to worry about."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Sugar, slowly squatted down to be at eye level with her, and asked again.
"So, what do you think? If you nod in agreement, you can follow me from now on."
Luo Tian still wore that seemingly gentle smile, but in Sugar's eyes, that smile was so ferocious and terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine.
Sugar stared wide-eyed at Luo Tian in horror, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing that Sugar remained silent, Luo Tian was not in a hurry. He simply gazed at her quietly and asked again.
"Give me a straight answer, do you agree or disagree? If you're willing to become my partner, all you need to do is nod your head."
Finally, under Luo Tian's persistent questioning, Sugar seemed to have mustered all her courage and nodded very slightly.
Her previously tense body relaxed, and she collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
Seeing this, Luo Tian smiled with satisfaction, reached out and gently stroked Sugar's head, speaking softly.
"Yes, good boy! Don't worry, if you stay with me, I will definitely give you a better life than you did with Doflamingo."
