Chapter 161

Law found Corazon, who was reading a newspaper, and then stabbed him in the back with a dagger. However, Buffalo witnessed the scene.

Buffalo panicked and fled, thinking, "I must report this to the young master."

Meanwhile, Doflamingo was resting on the sofa, with a book covering his face. The book's title was the name of a White City.

The scene shifted, showing a luxurious house with three people hanging from it, one adult and two children, surrounded by burning flames and people with weapons, their eyes teary and filled with anger, roaring in the crowd.

"Look, this whole family is Tenryuubito!"

"These Tenryuubito have lost their status. Even if we kill them, the Marine won't care!"

"Thank goodness, we finally have the chance for revenge!"

"We thought we'd have to carry this hatred in our hearts forever!"

...

Expressions of hatred were spoken one after another.

"My two lovely sons were only five and two years old!"

"Just because they walked past Tenryuubito, they were shot six times and killed on the spot!"

"My daughter was taken by them as a slave, and when she came back, she didn't say a word... three days later, she committed suicide!"

"I used to be their slave, and they gouged out my eyes for fun."

...

People shed tears while recounting the crimes committed by the Tenryuubito against them. As these events were exposed one by one, the viewers of the footage became increasingly angry, because, like the those non allied citizen, they were also considered inferior beings in the eyes of the Tenryuubito.

They desperately wanted to stand before the Tenryuubito and ask them why and on what grounds they didn't treat them as human beings. Why did they ignore their lives and take pleasure in harming them? Did the Tenryuubito don't understand the pain, sadness, and sorrow they caused?

They had countless questions they wanted the Tenryuubito to answer, but they couldn't do it. They didn't even dare to stand before the Tenryuubito, as the man in the footage had already given the answer. His five-year-old and two-year-old children were killed just for walking past the Tenryuubito.

Just for walking past...

Did these Tenryuubito truly believe they were gods?

People looked at the bound Donquixote family in the footage, knowing that despite being different from other Tenryuubito, he was an anomaly among them, considering himself a regular person.

However, the angry and vengeful people saw him as an easy target.

Still, they hoped to find answers from them.

However, there was no answer. They could only see the despair and tears of the Doflamingo family.

At this moment, people suddenly realized that the Tenryuubito were no different from them in times of despair.

The Tenryuubito were just ordinary people.

A group of people who wanted to put themselves in the position of gods.

This realization left people disappointed and filled them with intense anger.

If the Tenryuubito were just ordinary human beings, then why did they treat them like this? Why did they trample them underfoot? Why did they have to be slaves to the Tenryuubito?

A strong sense of anger spread among the crowd. They suddenly realized that the reason why the Donquixote family had such a fate was because they had severed ties with the World Government and lost the protection of the Marine.

Now, the Tenryuubito in Mariejois still looked down on them because they were still protected by the Marine and the World Government.

In other words, to pull these Tenryuubito, who despised and looked down on them, down from their pedestal, all they needed to do was eliminate their bodyguards, the Marine, and destroy the World Government.

By doing so, these Tenryuubito, who had caused them countless disasters, would lose all protection and reveal their true nature.

Just ordinary human beings.

People who feared death and felt despair, just like them.

Seeing this scene, many people made up their minds.

The Five Elders frowned when they saw this scene. This unexpected turn of events caught them off guard.

They had originally thought it was just a case of people from non-affiliated nations seeking revenge on Doflamingo, but it unexpectedly turned into a public execution of the Tenryuubito.

The crimes they listed had little to do with Donquixote's family, but they were closely related to the Tenryuubito in Mariejois.

The Five Elders didn't care about Donquixote family's life or death, but they couldn't just sit back and watch them publicly denounce the Tenryuubito like this.

The World Government's image had already been severely damaged by the events in the White City, and now the crimes of the Tenryuubito were being exposed, which would further increase the people's disgust and hatred towards the World Government and the Tenryuubito.

"Damn it!" Saint Saturn slammed the table in anger.

However, they were now at a loss. They could have shifted the blame to the Royal Family of Flevance for the White City incident, but now it was impossible because this was a crime committed by the Tenryuubito themselves, and no one else could take the blame.

What made them even angrier was that these "commoners" dared to do such a thing, to question the Tenryuubito. Who were they to question what the Tenryuubito did?

They dared to tarnish the image of the Tenryuubito in front of the entire world, and this infuriated the Five Elders.

However, they were helpless. These were past events, and now it was too late to go after these people, and there was no way to wash it away.

The Five Elders could only look at the screen with hatred and curse Luke for causing trouble in the background. Both the World Government and the Tenryuubito' dignity were being tarnished by Luke.

Meanwhile, the images continued. Doflamingo woke up from his nightmare, sweating profusely. Images of his father leaving the Tenryuubito, their pursuit, scavenging for food, and his mother's illness flashed through his mind. At that moment, the Den Den Mushi rang.

The scene shifted, and Doflamingo gathered his family members to recall the events. Law was captured and brought back. He had escaped after attempting to assassinate Corazon, but Jora caught him and brought him back.

To Law's surprise, Corazon wasn't dead;

As Law awaited his trial, Doflamingo told him, "Law, the reason I called you here was not for anything else but to inform you that you have officially become a member of the Donquixote Pirates."

This surprised the people present.

Doflamingo continued, "The excruciating experiences you've been through have given your eyes that are different from ordinary people. You have great potential... If you're lucky enough to find a Devil Fruit that can save your life within these three years, I will groom you as my right-hand man in about ten years."

Hearing Doflamingo's words, people understood that Doflamingo saw a reflection of his younger self in Law's eyes. He believed that he had found someone similar to himself.

The reason why Law wasn't eliminated by Doflamingo was revealed later. Buffalo didn't betray him, and Rosinante also kept quiet. When Doflamingo questioned the injuries, Rosinante even made excuses to cover it up.

Then, people saw Law's growth within Doflamingo's pirate crew – setting sail, training, and battling... Time passed by.

One day, Law spoke about his hidden name to two peers, but he was caught by Corazon.

When Corazon found out that Law was one of the "D" clan, he glared at Law and warned him not to stay by his side.

At this moment, Law was surprised to find out that Corazon could speak. Corazon then revealed his ability and told Law about the "D" clan.

"The 'D' clan is known as the sworn enemies of the Tenryuubito. If 'Gods' refer to the Tenryuubito, then your purpose might be to destroy this world."

Corazon's words resonated around the world.

The "D" clan was the sworn enemy of the Tenryuubito, and this was groundbreaking news.

They had heard about the "D" clan before, but they knew very little. They only knew that this clan seemed to be an extraordinary existence, and figures like Roger, Blackbeard, and Luffy belonged to this clan.

But what exactly did the "D" clan represent? They were not entirely sure. All they knew was that the World Government attached great importance to this clan and that they held deep secrets.

Moreover, it seemed that they carried a certain mission, closely related to the future of this world.

Today, they learned from Rosinante, a former Tenryuubito, that the "D" clan was the sworn enemy of the Tenryuubito. If that was the case, did it mean that in the future, if someone were to overthrow the World Government, it would likely be someone from the "D" clan?

At that moment, everyone suddenly thought of a man - the revolutionary Dragon - whose full name was Monkey D. Dragon. The goal of his revolutionary army is to overthrow the Tenryuubito.
