Chapter 147
Meanwhile, in the New World, Dressrosa.
A chill suddenly crept up behind Doflamingo.
However, he didn't have time to dwell on these thoughts. Luo Ke's description triggered his memories of killing his own brother, the only blood relative he had left in the world. It was undoubtedly a difficult experience, but what angered him even more was the betrayal.
Rosinante betrayed him. He actually betrayed his one and only brother for the sake of the Marines and their ridiculous sense of justice.
That was something Doflamingo couldn't forgive.
So he killed him with his own hands, and to this day, he doesn't regret that decision.
If his family couldn't bring him joy and only brought him harm, then he would rather be without such family. That's why he killed his father, who caused him suffering, and his brother, who betrayed him.
Even without a blood connection, he now has a new family that satisfies him more than they ever did. He has no regrets.
However, there was one thing he didn't anticipate: Rosinante turned out to be Sengoku's foster child. That could be troublesome.
Although Sengoku didn't cause him trouble after that incident, Doflamingo leaned more towards the fact that Sengoku couldn't confirm Rosinante was the one he killed. There were no outsiders present when he killed Rosinante; only members of the Donquixote Family knew about it.
Even if he didn't kill Rosinante himself, Rosinante would have died if his injuries weren't treated in time. He simply granted him a quick death, which could be seen as the last act of love from an older brother to his younger brother.
If Sengoku were to confirm that he killed Rosinante, that would be troublesome.
He still remembered the image from the war on the summit, where Capone's grandson was killed by Akainu and Capone's furious appearance. At that time, Sengoku managed to restrain Capone and prevent him from attacking Akainu.
He didn't know what Sengoku would do if he found out that Rosinante was the one he killed.
But after thinking about it, he wasn't worried. Sengoku might be an Admiral, but he was just an Admiral, nothing more.
No matter how angry Sengoku was, he couldn't surpass the World Government. He had plenty of ways to deal with the Five Elders. Sengoku couldn't change anything; he had always been in a position of obedience.
And even though he despised the Celestial Dragons, the blood that flowed through his veins was still the noblest in the world. It wasn't something that anyone could trample upon.
Doflamingo then let out a sigh of relief.
However, his brow was still furrowed. He looked at Law on the live broadcast screen and had a vague feeling that things wouldn't end here. There would be more to come.
Upon hearing the question, Law was also surprised. He only knew that Corazon was a Marine and that he was Doflamingo's biological brother. He had heard Doflamingo mention this during a family gathering. But he didn't know that Corazon might also be a former Celestial Dragon and the foster child of Admiral Sengoku.
This was beyond his expectations.
Since it's a multiple-choice question, there can be many answers.
Recently, he learned more things through a live broadcast, such as the origin of the Celestial Dragons and the fact that Doflamingo, the current king, seized the throne from someone else. The country mentioned in the intelligence report that was officially taken by Vergo was Dressrosa.
Even if the Seven Warlords wanted to take over a kingdom, it would be extremely difficult. Crocodile's example is evident, and even if they manage to take over an allied country, gaining recognition from the government is still an issue.
If he is a former Celestial Dragon, it would explain how Doflamingo managed to seize the throne of an allied country and gain recognition from the World Government.
As for the fourth answer, he is not sure if it is correct, but he is certain about the first three.
At that moment, he remembered the conversation between Corazon and a Marine from years ago. Cores' code name was "Corazon" These code names were strange, like nicknames for very close people.
Moreover, when he watched the footage of the Summit War before, he felt the voice of the Shichibukai was very familiar. Now, upon recollection, it seems that the Marine he contacted back then was the same voice, if that's the case.
After pondering for a moment, Law made a decision.
"Answer: ABCD, all four options."
"Correct answer," said Law.
Upon hearing Law's confirmation, Law felt relieved. He had answered three questions correctly and could already receive some rewards. However, that wasn't enough. Law's eyes flickered with longing. The real reward he desired was resurrection!
People from all over the world couldn't help but become curious upon hearing Law's words. What kind of situation could give Law Sinandi such a complex background, and what exactly are the Ancient Celestial Dragons?
How is it possible for there to still be Ancient Celestial Dragons?
Law continued in the scene, "Donquixote Doflamingo and Donquixote Rosinante's father was an anomaly among the Celestial Dragons. Unlike other Celestial Dragons who scorned commoners and considered themselves superior, he was arrogant and naive.
Rosinante and Doflamingo's father, Homing, was a very innocent person. Despite being a Celestial Dragon, he didn't have the same high opinion of the Celestial Dragons and believed they were ordinary people.
So one day, he decided to leave Mariejois and become an ordinary person, living an ordinary life. This meant giving up all the privileges of being a Celestial Dragon.
Other Celestial Dragons strongly advised against it, but he still went ahead with his decision. However, in his naivety, he didn't realize what it meant.
The same was true for the young Doflamingo, Rosinante, and their mother.
Soon, the World Government arranged for them to live in a non-allied country.
Just as Homing wanted to lead a normal life with his family, something unexpected happened.
The people in the vicinity heard that Celestial Dragons had come to live here, so they gathered a large group to seek revenge!
Yes, revenge.
Homing didn't know that the people in non-allied countries had accumulated centuries of hatred towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons."
Law's words surprised many people from the allied countries. What does this mean?
They are people from the allied countries and don't know much about the situation in the non-allied countries. The World Government also doesn't publicize their "misdeeds."
So in the impression of many people from the allied countries, it seems that the only difference is joining or not joining the World Government. What else is there that they don't know?
"In the eyes of the World Government, people in non-allied countries are not even considered human because they don't pay the heavenly tribute. Therefore, they don't receive the government's protection. Not only that, but the government often captures them and enslaves them..."
In addition, they are the biggest buyers behind the human traffickers in non-allied countries. These human traffickers abduct children and orphans and sell them to the World Government, who then trains them to become CPs.
Every CP is brainwashed and raised by the government from a young age, loyal to the World Government.
If the Navy is the right hand of the World Government, then the CPs are their left hand. CPs are more trusted and loyal dogs to the World Government than the Navy.
Countless people from non-allied countries have suffered and perished due to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Therefore, the non-allied countries have accumulated centuries of hatred towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons."
Law's words left many people in the allied countries surprised. What does this mean?
They are people from the allied countries and are not well-informed about the situation in non-allied countries. The World Government doesn't publicize their "misdeeds."

Law's words shocked many listeners. They didn't expect the situation in non-allied countries to be like this. Many people only thought there was a difference between having the Navy's protection or not, but they never imagined that not joining the World Government would result in being captured as slaves.
This revelation sent shivers down many people's spines. They thought living under the control of the World Government was already miserable enough, but they didn't realize the dire situation in non-allied countries. This truth left them feeling hopeless.
After watching the live question-and-answer session, many people became discontented with the World Government and the Navy. Some even wanted to break away from the World Government, only to realize that they seemingly had no choice.
Either become a lowly citizen under the World Government or become a slave in their eyes. There was no third option.
No, there was... the third option was becoming a pirate.
At this moment, a question that Law previously raised suddenly popped into many people's minds.
Question: Why do people become pirates when they were once ordinary people?
Now they seemed to have found a common answer - because they can't survive otherwise!
People in the allied countries can still make a living, but what about those in the non-allied countries? They can't even guarantee basic life security, so how can they live well?
Piracy seemed to be their only way out!
Zephyr was also shaken by this realization, and a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to understand why piracy had never ceased in the past eight hundred years.
Perhaps there were pirates like Luffy, Crocodile, and Blackbeard who set sail for their ideals, dreams, and ambitions.
But in this world, there were more ordinary people. They had no ideals, dreams, or ambitions. Their only goal was to survive, just to survive.
"If that's the case, simply attacking pirates won't solve anything!" Zephyr sighed, realizing that if they wanted to eradicate piracy, they had to enable people to live better lives. And for that, the world's current situation had to change.
And to change the situation, they couldn't avoid confronting the World Government... Zephyr finally understood why Dragon saw the only way to make the world a better place was to overthrow the World Government and bring down the Celestial Dragons.
Zephyr took a deep breath, determination shining in his eyes. He made a decision - let's start by changing the non-allied countries!
