#33 - Chapter 33 Recording Beautiful Moments

"Put me down! No one has ever dared to treat me like this!" The little boy frantically waved his arms, trying to break free from the large hand's grip, his face twisted and contorted with anger.

Complying readily, Jin An released his hold on the collar: "You little brat, speaking to me in that tone? Be careful, or I'll really beat you up."

"Ah!!! My butt!!!" The little boy clutched his buttocks, now feeling like eight separate pieces, and rolled around on the ground.

Seeing Doflamingo writhing on the ground as if he were dying, Jin An slowly squatted down and took out a Den Den Mushi. This kid's reaction was a bit much.

Suddenly, a playful glint flashed in Jin An's eyes. Since you're not afraid of embarrassment, then I'll make sure to record this scene. Maybe it'll add a little fun in the future.

This kid has now become his disciple, and to be honest, Jin An was still a bit unwilling.

Doflamingo was a ruthless character who disregarded human life at the age of 8 and dared to kill his own father at 10.

Taking on such a disciple, Jin An was afraid of being backstabbed...

"What are you doing?!" Seeing the Den Den Mushi in Jin An's hand, Doflamingo stopped rolling and struggled to get up, clutching his butt.

Jin An stuffed the Den Den Mushi into his pocket: "Recording a beautiful moment."

Doflamingo glared angrily at Jin An. Although this person seemed harmless and easy to get along with, actually interacting with him made you feel like he wasn't a good person.

He had only cursed a few times, but he was being dealt with in various ways. Just now, he had been dragged by his collar in front of so many people. Just thinking about it made his face feel like it was on fire.

He also had his pride, okay...

And this person seemed to have some dissatisfaction with his glasses, staring at them the whole time. He thought he looked handsome wearing glasses.

Thinking of this, the vigilance in Doflamingo's eyes seemed to deepen, as if the person in front of him was his mortal enemy: "You brought me here, what is your purpose? Why didn't you bring my brother here?"

Hearing Doflamingo's repeated questioning, the idle Jin An also came back to his senses, looking at the angry boy.

Having been influenced by the Celestial Dragons for so long, even these children were full of an aloof mentality, not taking anyone seriously.

If this habit were to be stripped away in a short period of time, it would cause even greater changes to their already incomplete worldview. Perhaps it would develop in a good direction, but more likely, it would become even worse.

So bad that the evil in their hearts would be infinitely magnified, until it devoured their hearts and affected innocent people.

From what Jin An knew, Doflamingo was clearly the second type of person. The reason he wore glasses was also to conceal the desires and violence within.

The current Doflamingo had not experienced the suffering after his identity as a Celestial Dragon was exposed. At most, he looked down on civilians and had not yet developed a mindset of destroying everything.

Thinking of this, when he looked at Doflamingo again, Jin An put on a warm smile again and said, "From now on, you'll follow me. I'll tell you to go east, and you can't go west. Your next task is to learn to obey orders."

Looking at the smiling Jin An, Doflamingo didn't know why his body suddenly felt cold, but he was still not convinced. The eyes under his sunglasses stared intently at Jin An: "A mere Colonel isn't worthy of me obeying. The lowest rank I used to have around me was a Rear Admiral."

"My status and position are not something you can casually order around. Although my father took us away from Mariejois, we are still noble Celestial Dragons!"

He possessed an extraordinary confidence, a confidence that had accompanied him for eight years, and he still had it today.

"Celestial Dragons are so powerful?"

Jin An sneered and brought his mouth close to Doflamingo's ear, whispering like a demon:

"They're just a bunch of pigs raised in Mariejois, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, useless trash that only gains weight, eating the benefits brought by their predecessors, doing things worse than animals."

"Do you really think this identity is so noble? There are plenty of people in this world who can silently erase someone's existence."

"So why can't that person be a Celestial Dragon?"

All along, the Celestial Dragons had called themselves 'descendants of the creators'. Many Celestial Dragons even disdained to breathe the same air as ordinary people because they considered themselves noble, ruling this world for 800 years.

But is it right just because it's always been that way? Jin An thought it was completely absurd.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, and strength is the stepping stone to verify this process.

"So, kid, don't take yourself too seriously. Take a good look at yourself."

Doflamingo had long been frightened by what Jin An had said. He couldn't believe that someone would view Celestial Dragons like that. He couldn't believe that the identity he had always been proud of was worthless in the other person's eyes. He couldn't believe that there wasn't a trace of emotion in this person's eyes.

He was serious...!

"Okay, I won't scare you." Jin An retracted his expression.

"But there's one thing I need to tell you."

"The Celestial Dragons no longer recognize your status as Celestial Dragons, from the moment you left Mariejois."

In Doflamingo's horrified gaze, Jin An continued, "Even if you kill your father who caused this situation, you won't get anything."

"Oh, except for the ridicule of those high and mighty Celestial Dragons."

Jin An looked at Doflamingo, who was staring blankly at him, and then said, "Get up. From now on, follow me. I'll give you what the Celestial Dragons can't give you: power, freedom, strength—anything you want can be achieved."

"And I advise you, your family is the most precious thing you have. If you lose them, you will definitely regret it!"

Speaking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Jin An's eyes. He had already lost his family forever, from the moment he came to this world.

"......"

Just as Jin An finished speaking, a hurried voice came from behind him.

"Boss, you're finally back! The guest has been waiting for you inside for a while!" The receptionist saw Jin An outside the door and shouted loudly.

Jin An slapped his forehead. He was so focused on educating the child that he had completely forgotten about Dragon and the others. Now it really did seem like he was being impolite.

"Hearing about you is not as good as meeting you." In the naval base, Dragon slowly revealed his figure.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Monkey D. Dragon." Dragon's figure was burly, his height already reaching around 200 centimeters. Jin An standing in front of him was like a child who hadn't grown up yet.

But in terms of aura, Jin An steadily overwhelmed Dragon...

"Nice to meet you..."
