Chapter 282: A Debt



White light fell in the middle of a crowded street on some island in the New World.

~Dammit, I didn't pinpoint my returning location. Where am I?~ He asked himself.

He looked around to find out where he was. It seemed like a Waste Processing Plant as the whole place was littered with mountains of scrap metal and factories.

He saw a boy running in front of him, "Hey, kid. What's the name of this place?"

The kid looked at him like he had seen the biggest fool of the century. "You don't even know that when you are standing here?... Wait, I've seen you somewhere"

Alexander took out a chocolate bar, "Tell me and you can have this."

The boy's eyes shone for a second, "Yes Yes, this place is called Spider Miles, kind sir."

"Hah, here you go." he handed him the chocolate. But then they both looked at the street because people had suddenly become noisy.

He saw a man in a pink bonnet and purple aviator sunglasses, with a yellow pacifier in his mouth. He was also wearing a blue scarf with white polka dots around his neck with a pink bib underneath it, and something that resembled a diaper.

"What is his problem?" Alexander asked.

The kid answered, "He's the city clown, Senior Pink. His wife got into an accident and got paralyzed. He's become like this since then. I heard he also had a son but something happened, he works for the local gang."

Alexander silently followed the man to see what he was up to. He followed him into a hospital and then to a room. There was a woman sitting on the bed like a lifeless doll.

~This should be his wife.~ He thought.

He heard the man speaking something, "Russian, I have come again, like every day. Please smile for me."

The woman did smile and it shocked Alexander. He didn't know the whole story of what happened between them. Neither was he interested, there were too many bad things in the world and he couldn't know them all.

But being kind towards others didn't require you to know anything. You just do it.

Alexander cast magic from the door and checked her body. Her spine was damaged which wrongly pressed her nerves. In short, it was not brain or nerve damage.

So he cast healing magic on her body. It would have caused her a lot of pain normally so he first made her fall unconscious, much to the shock of the strangely dressed man.

Then Alexander left the hospital and went to the criminal gang that ran the place. The island city didn't have a king or royal family. It just had an elected mayor. So a slight use of magic made sure the man cooperated.

He took out the Den Den mushi and called one of the nearby Commanders of his army.

"Ah, Doffy-chan. I just took over Spider Miles. Come and set up a branch here. I've already built a fort." He spoke.

On the other side, Doflamingo sneered, "Come on, Grandpa. I told you not to add 'chan' with my name. It spoils my style."

"Haha, you will always be little Doffy-chan for me who wore weird glasses. Is Rosi-chan with you too?" he asked.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

A knock came from the door. Both of them looked at who it was. It was a small kid.

The kid entered with an envelope in his hand. "Here, that old man told me to give this to you."

Pink opened it and read it loudly, "Usually I kill criminals like you, but I felt moved by your love for your wife. I know how it feels to be helpless and hopeless, seeing your loved one in front of you on a sickbed and not being able to do anything to save them.

"So, I am giving you a chance. Don't let this go to waste. Keep her happy or else I will be coming."

Russian and Pink had an idea of what happened now. Russian's miraculous recovery was very unnatural. But they still didn't know who did it.

"Kid, who was the man that told you to bring it here?" Pink asked.

"He only paid me 5 chocolates for bringing it. If you want more info I will need payment." The kid seriously said like an evil capitalist.

Pink just gave him money, "Buy ten with these. Now tell me."

The kid went to the side, picked up the newspaper, and showed the front page to them. It was an article with a declaration of United Kingdoms of the Seas.

"This is the old man who hired me. Now, I am leaving. Happy doing business."

Pink started shivering while holding the paper. "It seems I used my whole life's luck today."

The doctor heard everything and decided to speak, "You are a lucky man, boy. These days, miracles like these don't come in cheap and you got it for free. I hope you heed his advice. And even if you want to go back to that life you can't. The island was just taken over by the Golden Army's commander, Doflamingo. He's very strict with criminals I've heard.

Russian again cried, "Pink..."

He looked at her. She continued, "God gave this second life to us. Let's make a happy family now. I will work too so you don't have to worry about finding a job"

He again hugged her, "No, dear. I will work hard, you won't have to push yourself."

He calmed her down and looked at the shining sun outside the window. ~Thank you for giving me my life's light back, old man. I will never forget this debt.~
