Chapter 147 Zephyr’s Decision

Meanwhile, in the New World, Dressrosa.

A chill suddenly crept up behind Doflamingo.

However, he didn't have time to dwell on these thoughts. Luke'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 adoptive son. 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 Doflamingo was the one that killed Rosinante. 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 summit war where Garp's grandson was killed by Akainu and Garp's furious appearance. At that time, Sengoku managed to restrain Garp and prevent him from attacking Akainu.

He didn't know what Sengoku would do if he found out that Rosinante true killer is himself.

But after thinking about it, he wasn't worried. Sengoku might be a Fleet Admiral, but he was just a Fleet Admiral, nothing more.

No matter how angry Sengoku was, he couldn't surpass the World Government. He had plenty of ways to influence the Five Elders. Sengoku couldn't change anything; he had always been in a position of obedience.

And even though he despised the Tenryuubito, 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 Tenryuubito and the foster child of Admiral Sengoku.

This was beyond his expectations.

Since it's a multiple-choice answer, there can be many answers.

Recently, he learned more things through the live broadcast, such as the origin of the Tenryuubito 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 Doflamingo was Dressrosa.

Even if Shichibukai 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 World Government is still an issue.

If he is a former Tenryuubito, 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.

Moreover, when he watched the footage of the Summit War before, he felt the voice of the Sengoku was very familiar. Now, upon recollection, it seems that the Marine Rosinante contacted back then had 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 Luke.

Upon hearing Luke'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 Luke's words. What kind of situation could give Rosinante such a complex background

Luke continued "Donquixote Doflamingo and Donquixote Rosinante's father was an anomaly among the Tenryuubito. Unlike other Tenryuubito who scorned commoners and considered themselves superior, Rosinante and Doflamingo's father, Homing, was a very innocent person. Despite being a Tenryuubito, he didn't have the same opinion of the other Tenryuubito 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 Tenryuubito. Other Tenryuubito 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 Tenryuubito 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 Tenryuubito."

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 World Government's protection. Not only that, but the World Government often captures them and enslaves them... In addition, they are the biggest buyer 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 Cipher Pols. Every Cipher Pol is brainwashed and raised by the World Government from a young age, loyal to the World Government. If the Marine is the right hand of the World Government, then the Cipher Pol are their left hand. Cipher Pols are more trusted and most loyal dogs to the World Government than the Marine. Countless people from non-allied countries have suffered and perished due to the World Government and the Tenryuubito. Therefore, the non-allied countries have accumulated centuries of hatred towards the World Government and the Tenryuubito."

Luke'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 Marine'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 QnA session, many people became discontented with the World Government and the Marine. 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 Luke 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 Tenryuubito.

Zephyr took a deep breath, determination shining in his eyes. He made a decision - let's start by changing the non-allied countries!
