Chapter 159 The Past Reappears

He unexpectedly saw Rosinante again.

Even though Rosinante had painted his face with a thick clown makeup, Sengoku could still recognize his familiar face.

Rosinante, his adopted son, the son who died at the hands of Doflamingo!

Sengoku's emotions at this moment were so intense that he couldn't contain them. Since Rosinante went undercover to Doflamingo, he hadn't seen him again. And now, when they met again, Rosinante was already gone.

Finally, he saw him again.

Tears welled up in Sengoku's eyes as he fixed his gaze on the image of Rosinante, not wanting to miss a single second.

How much he wished Rosinante were still alive.

After going through so many live broadcasts, Sengoku, for the first time, felt grateful to Luke. If it weren't for Luke starting this QnA broadcast, he would never have seen Rosinante again.

At this moment, Sengoku had set aside all other thoughts, focusing solely on watching the video of his deceased son's life.

Seeing Sengoku in this state, Garp did not say anything but sighed. He didn't want to disturb Sengoku's emotional moment of seeing his adopted son again, even if it was through a video. For Sengoku, this lonely old man, it was a rare opportunity, almost like a miracle.

He couldn't possibly disturb this miracle.

As a friend, the only thing he could do was silently accompany him through all of this.

At this moment, another person who couldn't control his emotions was Doflamingo.

He watched the image of his brother, whom he had already killed, with a complicated mood.

It seemed like a mixture of excitement at seeing a loved one, but then quickly overshadowed by anger and coldness.

Regardless, he did not regret his actions of killing Rosinante back then, and he still felt the same now.

Betrayal, the thing he couldn't tolerate the most, and Rosinante had done just that.

Rosinante had made a move against him, his own brother, in the name of the Marine and justice, disregarding their blood ties. So, he didn't need to care anymore.

It was Rosinante who abandoned him first, not the other way around.

Rosinante abandoned him twice!

The feeling of being betrayed by a loved one was something that even Doflamingo couldn't bear.

"You could have shared everything with me, after all, you were my only brother. But you betrayed me, betrayed the Donquixote Family, and this is the fate of traitor..." Doflamingo's gaze was cold as he looked at the image of Rosinante.

Doflamingo didn't want to keep watching, didn't want to see Rosinante pretending to be a clown in front of him. However, he couldn't stop watching, as there should be some valuable information hidden in this footage.

He had to seize it.

Suppressing his anger, Doflamingo continued to watch Rosinante's undercover performance.

At the same time, tears were streaming down Law's face as he saw Corazon appear in the footage.

He saw the scene of their first meeting once again.

His mouth slightly agape, eyes wide open, tears flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

"I finally see you again, Corazon!" In the footage, Corazon slipped and fell as soon as he entered the room.

Baby 5 and Buffalo, who were next to him, laughed and said, "Gotcha~!"

Obviously, they were the ones who placed the banana peel on the floor.

Corazon got up from the ground and ruthlessly knocked them down, then sat on the sofa.

Baby 5, who had been knocked down, even handed Corazon a cup of tea without any signs of anger. Corazon unsuspectingly took a sip, only to spit it out immediately.

The room echoed with the laughter of the two mischievous kids.

However, Law had no reaction, calmly watching this scene with a serious expression.

Corazon's identity was introduced to Law by Trebol and Diamante. He was Doflamingo's brother, and also a high-ranking member of the Donquixote Family. However, due to some trauma, he became mute.

Also, he really hated children.

At this moment, Corazon suddenly grabbed Law's head and threw him out of the window. Then he stylishly lit a cigarette, but accidentally set his black feather cloak on fire, causing chaos.

Meanwhile, Law, who was thrown outside, had blood coming out of his nose and mouth. He raised his head with eyes filled with hatred and a desire for revenge.

Seeing this scene, people couldn't help but feel emotional.

If they had seen this scene before, they would have thought that Rosinante had a bad temper, even bullying children.

But now that they knew Rosinante was an undercover agent for the Marine and that he later risked his life to save Law, seeking medical help for him, they could understand the reason behind his behavior towards those two children.

He wanted to drive them away, make them realize their limitations, and prevent them from choosing the path of pirates.

One could say this behavior was clumsy, but it was the best he could do to avoid exposing his identity as an undercover agent.

As Rosinante made his appearance, chaos seemed to follow him everywhere, which gave people the impression that he was rather careless.

Sengoku, watching Rosinante being set on fire by his own lighter, smiled with nostalgia. When Rosinante was a child, he caused a lot of trouble because of his carelessness.

The jokes from back then had now become beautiful memories in Sengoku's mind, memories that couldn't be added to anymore.

The footage shifted to an image of the Donquixote Family having a meal together. Doflamingo officially appeared in the scene. All the main members of the Donquixote Family were gathered, enjoying a huge pizza together.

Meanwhile, Law stood aside, listening to their conversations and laughter.

At this moment, Trebol looked at Law and said, "You've been beaten up by Corazon a lot, haven't you?"

Law's body was covered in bruises, but he fearlessly replied, "I'm not afraid of him... I've seen hell."

Doflamingo heard this and chuckled dangerously, "Haha... It's your freedom to act tough despite getting beaten up. But Corazon is my important little brother. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will personally kill them!!!"

Doflamingo's words were filled with killing intent, as well as an extreme sense of protectiveness.

However, to the people who knew what happened later, this statement sounded quite ironic.

Because Rosinante was killed by Doflamingo's own hands, and he was the one who personally killed him.

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Sengoku's face turned cold, while Doflamingo showed the anger of being betrayed.

At this moment, in the footage, Jora, who was having a meal, mentioned that Law's pale skin might be due to the "Amber Lead Disease."

This statement caused panic among the pklothers, as the Amber Lead Disease was rumored to be contagious and incurable.

Law clenched his teeth upon hearing this.

However, Doflamingo stepped forward and said, "Don't bring up rumors. The Amber Lead Disease is simply a result of Amber poisoning, not a contagious disease."

Doflamingo's words confirmed what Law had said during the QnA about the Amber Lead Disease being caused by Lead poisoning. Doflamingo's knowledge of this might be related to his status as a Tenryuubito.

The World Government had known the truth about this matter a hundred years ago.

Thinking about this, people became even more furious. To think they let people die for the sake of money, the World Government and the Tenryuubito deserved to die!

At this moment, in Pangea Castle, the Five Elders sensed that something was amiss.

----

Doflamingo looked at Law and asked, "Are there any other survivors in Flevance?"

"I don't know. I barely managed to escape from there, and it was a life-or-death situation," Law answered.

"How did you escape?" Doflamingo inquired.

"I hid among the pile of corpses and crossed the national border," Law replied expressionlessly.

Hearing Law's description, the others who were eating covered their mouths and nearly vomited.

However, Law's calm demeanor contrasted sharply with their reactions.

Doflamingo's lips curled up, looking at Law as if he had found an interesting toy. "So, what do you hate?"

Young Law replied, "I don't believe in anything anymore."

He looked at Corazon, who was eating, and added, "I'm not afraid of death either. Don't be so smug; I will definitely get my revenge on you."

There was no light in Law's eyes; all that remained was the gaze of wanting to destroy everything.

Seeing this, people felt inexplicably sad.

The scene shifted to a warehouse where the Donquixote Family members were robbing. They were very leisurely, even chatting about the events in White City.

The people watching the footage once again learned about the rise and fall of White City and the involvement of Royal Family and the World Government in these affairs.

"...There are toxin in the Lead. For example, if a young person accumulates this Lead poisoning, their children's lifespans will shorten. What's even more terrifying is that the lifespan of the next generation will be even shorter, and it continues to decrease with each generation. Eventually, there will be a generation like Law's, whose life is cut short even before reaching adulthood. By the time they realize the toxicity of Lead, it's already too late."

The scene shifted to a hospital room where many people had white cloth covering their faces, indicating that they had passed away. The ones still alive were screaming in pain, their bodies covered in white patches, as if a tragedy had befallen them.

Everyone was horrified upon seeing this. The poison was so terrifying that it could shorten the lifespan of each successive generation. The fact that the World Government had concealed this information made them go mad with anger.

This wasn't just about ruining one generation; it was about destroying all future generations, a catastrophe that would lead to the extinction of families.

Furthermore, this matter didn't just concern the people of Flevance; it involved people from all around the world. Amber Lead products were bought and used by people everywhere.

The poison that could be inherited would spread worldwide!

Did the World Government want to destroy the entire world?!
