146 Chapter 146

After listening to the story of Law joining the Donquixote Family, people were curious about Corazon, one of the executives of the family. They wondered why his behavior was so strange, throwing Law out as if he disliked him. But when Law tried to assassinate him, he didn't react. It was puzzling.

What was even more surprising was that the executives of the Donquixote Family asked Law to leave Doflamingo and called him an evil monster. It was outrageous.

Some began to suspect that Luo Ke might have made a mistake in his explanation. Was Corazon really a member of the Donquixote Family, let alone an executive?

When they heard about Corazon's ability to speak, hidden from both Doflamingo and the executives, they felt that there was something big going on.

And when Luo Ke posed his question, everyone was shocked.

What kind of question was this? The answers were outrageous!

Doflamingo's younger brother?

A Navy Commander, codenamed Smiley Fruit, an undercover agent infiltrating the Donquixote Family?

A former Celestial Dragon?

And the most outrageous of all, Admiral Sengoku's adopted child?

These answers didn't make any sense. They were completely unrelated!

Regarding the fact that Doflamingo was a Celestial Dragon, not many people knew about it. The World Government considered it shameful for the Doflamingo father and son to betray their Celestial Dragon status, so they wouldn't publicize Doflamingo's former Celestial Dragon identity. Moreover, Doflamingo, with his pride, would never claim to be a Celestial Dragon to beg for acceptance after being rejected by the Celestial Dragons in Mariejois.

Apart from some influential individuals and related personnel with vast intelligence, most people were unaware of Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon identity.

Now that this option was revealed, many people were shocked. Former Celestial Dragon? The existence of former Celestial Dragons?

Were there expelled Celestial Dragons?

In addition to the option of former Celestial Dragon, the other answers also contained significant information.

If Rosinante was Doflamingo's younger brother and a former Celestial Dragon, it meant that Doflamingo was also a former Celestial Dragon!

And what was Doflamingo's current identity? He was not only one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but also the king of Dressrosa, an affiliated country.

Now almost everyone knew the origin of the Celestial Dragons. They were members of the original 20 royal families that formed the World Government, with 19 of them relocating to Mariejois.

Why did a pirate like Doflamingo become the king of an affiliated country? Why did the World Government acknowledge this? Now it was clear.

Doflamingo used to be a Celestial Dragon. Even if he was expelled, he still enjoyed some of the privileges associated with being a Celestial Dragon. The title of Warlord of the Sea and the king of Dressrosa were obtained through this connection.

If that was the case, then it was highly likely that both Doflamingo and Rosinante were former Celestial Dragons, which also confirmed the correctness of the third and first options.

Now the focus shifted to the second and fourth options.

The second option was a Navy Commander, codenamed Smiley Fruit, an undercover agent infiltrating the Donquixote Family.

This option was very possible because Rosinante's behavior in the Donquixote Family was extremely unusual. Almost everything he said proved that he wasn't on the same page as Doflamingo. So, the third option seemed plausible as well.

ABC, all three options seemed correct. People couldn't help but pay attention to the fourth option, Admiral Sengoku's adopted child?

If that was true, then the background and complexity of the matter were quite astonishing.

At this moment, people suddenly thought of another person with an equally astonishing background—Monkey D. Luffy.

He was the grandson of a Marine hero, the son of a Revolutionary Army leader, had a godfather who was one of the Four Emperors, and two brothers with equally impressive backgrounds. His background alone was mind-boggling.

They thought that Luffy was already an extraordinary existence, but now there was Rosinante, who had an equally astonishing background.

Considering Rosinante's background as a former Celestial Dragon and having an Admiral like Sengoku as his father, it wouldn't be surprising if he achieved the rank of Admiral or even became a high-ranking officer in the Marine Headquarters.

However, they seemed to have never heard of such a person, not even the name Rosinante.

What was going on?

At the Marine Headquarters, many Marines were puzzled. They indeed hadn't heard of Rosinante in the Navy.

Only a few people who had spent many years in the Navy and those who were in the Navy at the same time as Rosinante remembered his name. However, they hadn't heard of him for many years. It was the first time they heard about him in a long time.

Many high-ranking officers involuntarily looked at Sengoku. Among them, quite a few were aware of this matter. The fact that Sengoku, back when he was a Rear Admiral, had adopted a child was not a secret within the Marine Headquarters.

However, Rosinante suddenly disappeared one day, and later they heard that he had died during a mission. Admiral Sengoku mourned his loss for a while, and they were worried that Admiral Sengoku would be greatly affected, just like Teacher Zephyr. But fortunately, he quickly immersed himself in his work at the Navy.

They never expected that Rosinante was sent by Sengoku as an undercover agent in the Donquixote Family.

Now, upon hearing that Rosinante was Doflamingo's younger brother, they were extremely shocked. Everyone involuntarily looked at Sengoku. Could Rosinante's death be related to Doflamingo?

At this moment, Sengoku's memories were stirred up. The operation surrounding the 5 billion Berry valued Ope Ope no Mi fruit had ultimately ended in failure.

The fruit went missing, and the Barto Club, the pirate crew that possessed the fruit, was completely wiped out. It seemed that Doflamingo, who appeared on Minion Island, also failed to obtain the fruit.

There was even more terrible news: Rosinante, the foster child who volunteered to stop Doflamingo and was working as an undercover agent with him, died. He sustained multiple gunshot and explosive injuries, and judging from the wounds, it seemed to be related to the Barto Club.

Sengoku was the only witness that the Navy obtained from this incident, the young Drake, the son of Barto Club captain Barrels. He later became the fallen Rear Admiral and Supernova, X Drake.

From Drake's account, Sengoku learned that a man attacked their camp and took the Ope Ope no Mi fruit. However, he was captured when he revealed his whereabouts.

A battle ensued between the two sides, and although the man ultimately succeeded in taking the fruit, he also suffered severe injuries. As they chased after the man who took the fruit, Doflamingo suddenly appeared at the camp and trapped everyone in a birdcage. If Sengoku hadn't panicked and escaped, he would have died there as well.

According to Drake's description, Sengoku confirmed that the person who attacked the Barto Club was indeed Rosinante. He didn't listen to Sengoku's orders and appeared there to save the young boy suffering from lead poisoning. As a result, he died there.

...000000...seeking flowers...

Sengoku didn't know the exact cause of Rosinante's death, and no one else did either. When the Navy arrived, they only saw Rosinante's body full of gunshot wounds.

They could only speculate that he succumbed to the injuries he sustained while trying to steal the fruit.

However, Sengoku had a vague feeling that this matter wasn't so simple. Rosinante's act of stealing the fruit on Minion Island not only went against Sengoku's orders but also defied Doflamingo's commands.

If Doflamingo learned from Barrels that Rosinante had stolen the fruit, he would undoubtedly have gone after Rosinante.

However, no one knew how it ended back then. All they knew was that Doflamingo didn't find the fruit. The fruit went missing, and the young boy Rosinante wanted to save also disappeared.

The death of Rosinante ultimately became a mystery.

Over ten years later, a pirate with the ability of the Ope Ope no Mi fruit appeared on the Grand Line, and Sengoku immediately remembered this incident. However, he couldn't be sure if "Law" was the same person Rosinante wanted to save back then. But he had been keeping an eye on this pirate.

It was only after watching the live stream of the quiz that he finally became certain.

In other words, after Rosinante went through great hardships to obtain the Ope Ope no Mi fruit, he gave it to Law to eat, and the fruit successfully brought Law back from the brink of death.

So, what happened afterward?

What happened after Rosinante gave Law the fruit?

Why didn't Law return to the Donquixote Family?

How did Rosinante really die?

Was it due to the injuries flaring up, being killed by the pursuing Barto Club, or...? A cold glint and killing intent flashed in Sengoku's eyes.

In any case, he was now very eager to know the answers to these questions.
