151 Chapter 151

As soon as Law's answer was given, the atmosphere in the Marine Headquarters' main square suddenly became tense.

Marine Admiral Sengoku emitted a terrifying aura.

This was the conqueror's Haki, a quality possessed by only one in a million people, known as the potential of a king!

As Sengoku's aura burst forth, the entire square was enveloped in his overwhelming presence.

Even those with weaker strength started to pale.

Everyone realized that Sengoku was furious.

Sengoku's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth as he uttered a name, "Doflamingo!"

At Mariejois, the Five Elders furrowed their brows upon hearing this news.

This situation was not easy to handle.

Previously, Zephyr rebelled and left the Marines after Vergo killed his student, forming the NEO Navy and becoming a major enemy of the government.

Now, it was revealed that Seven Warlord Doflamingo had killed Sengoku's adoptive son... This... What was going on?

The Five Elders couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

If this matter wasn't resolved properly, it could cause trouble for Sengoku.

However, they couldn't act recklessly against Doflamingo either. He was a former Celestial Dragon, and even though he had been stripped of his noble status, his lineage prevented the government and the Marines from laying hands on him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Doflamingo and his family to the non-affiliated zone, using those "commoners" to get rid of the traitors.

But unexpectedly, some remnants survived and became powerful pirates, causing a headache for the government. Doflamingo hijacked the Shichibukai position and they couldn't take action against him, so they had to agree to his demands.

Moreover, it wasn't just Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon lineage, but also the secrets he knew that made them wary. They had to turn a blind eye to him.

Now that conflicts had arisen between Sengoku and Doflamingo, neither side was easy to deal with.

This matter was becoming tricky.

They were already troubled by the exposure of the White City incident, and now the Zephyr incident made it even more troublesome.

They didn't need to think much to know that Sengoku would call them first thing later.

And if nothing unexpected happened, the content of the call should be about canceling Doflamingo's Shichibukai status and taking action against him.

The five Elders wore contemplative expressions on their faces, thinking about how to resolve this matter.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo's face turned gloomy. With this matter exposed, it meant that he was at odds with Sengoku.

This could be a bit troublesome. Although Sengoku was getting older, he was still the Fleet Admiral. Having an enemy in that position naturally caused some concern.

Perhaps it was time to consider finding someone else for that position. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, he would become the prime target of the Marines. He wouldn't be able to withstand the simultaneous attacks of the Admirals.

Doflamingo contemplated for a while and decided to have a serious talk with the Five Elders later.

...

After killing his own father, Doflamingo went on to kill his own brother, systematically eliminating his own family members.

This act shocked the entire world.

It once again revealed the cold-blooded nature of this Shichibukai.

But this matter was not as simple as just killing a brother. Rosinante was also Sengoku's adoptive son, and Sengoku was the Fleet Admiral. People couldn't help but feel that this matter wouldn't be easily overlooked, and it might cause a lot of trouble.

Anxiety and worry spread through the crowd.

At this moment, Luo Ke in the live broadcast spoke.

"Correct answer. After Vergo discovered that Rosinante was the mole providing information to the Marines, he immediately confirmed Rosinante as the mole they had been searching for. In fact, Doflamingo had long suspected that the Donquixote family had a spy, and his suspicions fell on Rosinante.

After Rosinante and Law escaped together, they finally had a period of respite from the constant pursuit by the Marines, which further fueled Doflamingo's suspicion of Rosinante.

After Vergo beat Rosinante severely, he reported this matter to Doflamingo. However, during the report, Rosinante managed to escape with Law. So Doflamingo initiated the Birdcage, trapping Minion Island inside, cutting off any escape.

Seeing this scene, Rosinante realized that they couldn't escape. So he came up with a final plan: to attract Doflamingo's attention with his own life and create an opportunity for Law to escape.

He succeeded, but he also paid with his life, killed by Doflamingo's own hands. Afterward, Law used his Devil Fruit ability to cure the lead poisoning and harbored hatred toward Doflamingo."

"Now, listen to the next question.

Question: After the Summit War, which faction did Law join?

There are four options:

A. Donquixote Family

B. Beasts Pirates

C. Straw Hat Grand Fleet

D. Seven Warlords of the Sea

You have one minute, and the timer starts now."

Upon hearing this question, Law's expression became serious. If the previous five questions were considered easy, from the sixth question onward, he realized that things would become serious.

He had also learned from his previous quiz experiences. Luo Ke's quizzes usually consisted of known and unknown questions, also known as future questions.

Known questions were about past events that he, as the answerer, would generally know. They were practically free points. Although Law didn't understand Rosinante's true intentions, this was very friendly for the participants. They just had to be honest about what they knew to answer correctly.

The real challenge lay in the unknown questions, which were about future events. Almost all of them required thinking and judgment, and sometimes even gambling, making them much more difficult than the known questions.

Finally, it was time for those questions... Law thought, but it also made him feel invigorated. Despite their difficulty, the future questions were about things that would happen in the future.

Moreover, the questions were closely related to the participants. Law could use them to gain insights into his own future and perhaps find a direction for himself.

Just like what happened in Zephyrs previous quiz, Law might be able to foresee his own mistakes and change his future.

He could possibly do the same.

Law pondered the possible answers.

The first option was the Donquixote Family.

He almost immediately dismissed this answer without much thought.

He couldn't go back to the Donquixote Family because he knew what awaited him there! Doflamingo wanted the Ope Ope no Mi because he wanted to perform the eternal life surgery, just like the 800-year-old Celestial Dragon in Mariejois. That was probably his secret to living so long.

As for the third option, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet... several question marks popped up in Luffy's mind. What was that?

He had heard of the Straw Hat Pirates, but what was the Straw Hat Grand Fleet?

What was the connection with the previous mention of Luffy?

Luffy recalled that he had apparently saved Luffy during the Battle of Marineford.

But he had saved Luffy, he was Luffy's benefactor, so why would he join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet instead of Luffy joining his Heart Pirates? Wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?

However, he quickly remembered something else. Doflamingo seemed to have been defeated by Luffy. If that was the case, he might express his gratitude and join Luffy's crew after Luffy defeated Doflamingo.

But that was something that happened after the Battle of Marineford, two years after to be exact.

... ... ...

Luffy ruled out the third option as well, leaving only the last one, the Warlords of the Sea.

Warlords of the Sea... that term made Luffy pensive.

At the same time, the mention of the Warlords of the Sea caught the attention of the Marines.

Another option related to the Warlords of the Sea?

How many new Warlords of the Sea had they seen during the quiz livestream?

First was Weevil, who had indeed become a new Warlord of the Sea, that had been confirmed.

Then there was Teach, also known as Blackbeard, who had used the title of Warlord of the Sea to his advantage and manipulated the Marines for his own purposes.

And there was Buggy, who had been imprisoned in Impel Down, but he seemed to have become a Warlord of the Sea as well.

Now there was Trafalgar D. Water Law. What was going on?

Were the Warlords of the Sea just anyone who wanted to be one?

Could anyone join and meddle in their affairs?

Considering what they knew about Law's past, everyone could sense that if Law indeed joined the Warlords of the Sea, he must have had ulterior motives, apart from seeking revenge against Doflamingo.

This made the faces of the Marines, including the likes of Sengoku, tense.

Because it seemed that these Warlords of the Sea saw the title as a tool to achieve their own goals.

Crocodile used the title to deceive and steal Alabasta.

Blackbeard used the privileges of a Warlord of the Sea to infiltrate Impel Down and find his crewmates.

And now Trafalgar D. Water Law... he probably wanted to use this opportunity to confront Doflamingo.

They had initially thought of recruiting these individuals to maintain stability in the world, but it turned out that they used this title to further their own agendas, causing harm to the world instead.

Did the Warlords of the Sea really need to exist?

They could almost be certain that among these four options, Law joining the Warlords of the Sea or the Beasts Pirates to take down Doflamingo was the only plausible answer, especially considering the unclear relationship between Doflamingo and Kaido.

However, this once again demonstrated that the Warlords of the Sea only attracted pirates with ulterior motives and had no genuine desire to reform.

It was a system devoid of value, only breeding more trouble and causing greater harm.

Examples included Crocodile, Alabasta, and Impel Down...

...

Law thought for a moment and looked at Luo ke, saying, "Answer: D, the Warlords of the Sea."
