Chapter Thirty: Anthony's Choice(1/2)
The injury was relatively mild this time. After getting off the ship after three days of voyage, Allen had recovered. On the third day, he started high-intensity training.
Baby5 found out that he was inadequate in the battle, so he worked harder. He originally only practiced for more than half an hour in the afternoon, and then increased to one hour. Now he is intermittent, and he has a rest in the middle, and the practice time can reach one and a half hours.
"I'll become less accurate after practicing."
Baby5 was carrying a small shoulder bag and said distressedly: "I found the feeling of shooting, but in the afternoon, it was no longer accurate."
"That's because your arms are too tired."
Allen said with a smile: "The recoil of the flintlock is not small for you. If you can't suppress the gun, the accuracy will be greatly reduced."
"So I have to keep working hard."
baby5 said, with a proud look on his face and said, "I have made greater progress during this period. The young master praised me yesterday."
"That's of course, you did a good job in this mission and helped a lot."
Allen praised it and then reminded: "But you can't slack off, you have to continue to work hard and become stronger."
"Well, I will."
baby5 clenched his fists and said, although he was tired, he felt like he was needed and praised.
The two walked out of the backyard and a figure came up, "Allen, baby5, have you finished training?"
This figure was Anthony. Allen looked at him and asked curiously: "Have you been beaten again just now?"
Anthony's left face swelled, and he had not had such injuries just now.
"Beat by Mr. Corason."
Anthony's eyes flashed with resentment, and then he said, "He likes to hit people too much."
"Well, just endure it."
Allen said: "This is the test."
"But it hurts too much."
Anthony said covering his cheek, then asked curiously: "Did you often get beaten when you joined?"
"certainly."
baby5 said: "And I will be beaten now."
"When you become a full member."
Allen looked at him and said, "Don't worry, the number of beaten will decrease."
"Yeah?"
Anthony had more confidence and asked, "How long will it take to test?"
"At least half a month."
baby5 said: "Allen joined the fastest time and of course he was still in bed for seven days."
"How many days have you been lying?"
Anthony was so scared that he felt cold all over and said, "Is it so severe?"
"no."
Allen said: "I was just slashed by a few gangsters and almost died, so I just lay down for seven days."
"This is even more terrible, okay."
Anthony shivered, and then Allen said, "Let me tell you a trick. Try to avoid Corathon and ignore him so that you won't be beaten."
"But he always appears behind him silently..."
Anthony said in embarrassment: "I'm obviously alert enough, but he can always get close and can't even hear the footsteps."
"Yes, I can't find him at all."
Allen also encountered this situation. Sometimes Corathon would approach silently and could not hear the sound at all.
So Allen guessed that he used the ability of the Silent Fruit, hid some of the footsteps, and hit them after getting close.
"It's time to go to have a meal."
baby5 looked at Seniol, Guladius came out of the kitchen with food, and then ran directly into the kitchen, washed his hands, and took the food to the restaurant.
"We're going to have a meal."
Allen said something to Anthony, went to the kitchen, brought the food to the table, and sat at the table when all the food was served.
Torrepole and Joramahabys were not here, and the three of them took Edith to ask for ransom, which was about 30 million Baileys this time.
Not only that, they also have to contact the Diamond Chamber of Commerce to sell the remaining goods, and hope to open up markets in that area through the Diamond Chamber of Commerce.
"Let's start."
They feasted with Doflamingo's words.
Because of the training, Allen was extremely hungry and ate a lot, two steaks, a salad, a chicken leg and a bowl of soup.
After eating, Allen left the restaurant and stood downstairs with Anthony for a while, encouraged him, and then went back to bed.
Anthony's life experience is very pitiful.
My mother died of illness when he was one year old. When he was eight, his father was smashed to death by heavy objects when he was working, leaving him alone, relying on the help of his neighbors, picking up leftovers, and begging to barely live.
Later, while begging in the town, he encountered the invasion of the Skull Brokeners Pirates. After he was taken away, he did some miscellaneous work on the boat, but he didn't eat well and lived well.
On the contrary, the few days here were the time when he lived so old and ate the best time. He was very satisfied with being able to sleep in a non-humid room.
Having suffered and working hard, Allen felt that he should be able to endure Corathon's beating and stay here.
But just as Allen was thinking so, three days later, Anthony broke his ribs by Corathon and could no longer bear it.
"Mr. Doflamingo."
Anthony knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the ground, begging, "Please don't let Mr. Corason hit me again."
"I can't interfere with my brother's behavior."
Doflamingo looked at him and said, "What he does to you is his freedom."
"Yes, but."
Anthony raised his head and said with a slight crying voice, "If this continues, I will be beaten to death."
Doflamingo raised his legs and asked, "So have you given up?"
“I don’t want to quit.”
Anthony thought for a while and said, "But if I have to be beaten in the future, then I can't bear it anymore."
Doflamingo nodded and asked, "Then what are you going to do if you leave here?"
"have no idea."
Anthony shook his head and said, "But, but I dare not stay here."
"Yeah?"
Doflamingo looked at him and said, "If you don't have a place to go, you can go to the family's factory, go there to participate in training, workmanship, food and accommodation, and get a salary, how about it?"
"May I?"
When Anthony heard this, he looked at Doflamingo happily.
"Um."
Doflamingo nodded and said, "If you do well and have skilled skills, you can still hold a position in the future. The premise is that you work hard."
"I'll go there."
Anthony said quickly, he could no longer stand Corathon's beating, and he broke his ribs this time. What about next time?
What if you are accidentally beaten to death? Why not hide on the island with the Skull Brokeners Pirates?
I want to make a name for myself and want to be glorious, but I don’t want to be beaten to death.
"Then you go back first, I will find someone to take you to the factory." Doflamingo said.
"Thank you, Lord Doflamingo."
Anthony said quickly and exited the room.
"Corathon, your move is too ruthless."
After Anthony left, Doflamingo couldn't help saying, "He broke the child's bones, who else would want to stay?"
Corathon picked up a piece of paper, wrote a line of words on it, and handed it to Doflamingo, "I can't even stand this little beating, so what qualifications are you qualified to be a pirate?"
Doflamingo frowned when he saw the content on the paper.
"What qualifications are you to join the great Don Quixote family?" Corathon raised another piece of paper.
"That's true."
Doflamingo exhaled and said, "What we need is help, not just loyalty."
