One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Only the terrified Drake immediately spotted the door and desperately fled.

After a brief exchange of fire, Corazon smashed through a window and jumped out, but at the same time he threw several grenades back into the hall.

next second...

The BOOM was muted!

After landing, Corazon ran as fast as he could to get away.

At the same time, because of his departure, the silence-silencing effect of the Silence Fruit naturally disappeared, and screams and wails filled the hall.

Covered in dust and bleeding from his head, Dias Barreus roared as soon as he realized he could hear again, "Chase! Chase him! That bastard stole the Op-Op Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, everyone who was still able to move normally had their eyes turn red!

Then, while sending signals into the sky, they began to chase after it.

Corazon was unlucky, as he emerged unscathed from the chaotic scene at the castle.

Corazon was lucky, but he also had the misfortune of tripping and falling flat on his face, and then he ran into the other pirates who had returned after seeing the signal and were patrolling outside.

This delay allowed the pirates behind to catch up.

And so another battle royale ensued!

Corazon used all his skills and finally arrived in front of Law with the Op-Op Fruit.

But he himself was also seriously injured, having been shot several times.

……

The Flamingo slowly docked, with Doflamingo leading the way.

Behind him, a row of officials stood, a truly impressive sight.

Abel and Baby-5, who had just returned from the Grand Line, were also among them.

"Dover, something seems to have happened over there."

"I see it, such a conspicuous signal flare, let's go take a look."

So the group quickly headed towards the castle on the mountaintop.

"Judging from this situation, Corazon and Law should have succeeded."

Abel speculated, while also hoping that nothing unexpected would happen.

Upon arriving at the castle, Doflamingo didn't even need to say anything; the executives swarmed in, overpowering everyone inside and interrogating them about the whereabouts of the Op-Op Fruit.

With his face covered in blood, Diaz Barreus quickly said, "The Op-Op Fruit was stolen by a very strange person."

What does the other person look like?

Doflamingo asked.

It was too dark at first, and Diaz Barrerus couldn't really see clearly.

But since so many people saw each other's faces afterward, it was naturally easy to describe them without any pressure.

As Dias Barreus began to describe the person who stole the Op-Op Fruit, everyone's expressions turned strange.

Because this person sounds exactly like Corazon, the younger brother of Lord Dover!

What is going on here?

No need for anyone else to do it, I can do it myself?

Doflamingo released the other person and then began contacting Corazon using a Den Den Mushi.

But no one answered the phone.

Even the most oblivious person would realize something is wrong by now.

"My brother, what exactly do you want?"

"I hope you can give me a reasonable answer to this question after I find you."

Doflamingo was somewhat amused by this, and a large number of thin threads shot into the sky instantly.

A giant birdcage enveloped the entire island.

“Buffalo, start searching from the air. If you see Corazon and Law, come back and let me know immediately.”

"Okay, young master!"

Buffalo, who had been undergoing grueling training every day, seemed to have lost some weight and immediately took off.

"Everyone, spread out and search! They must still be on the island; they can't have escaped!"

"Remember, I want to see a living Corazon!"

The crowd nodded; even if he hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have dared to kill him.

After all, Corazon is Doflamingo's younger brother, so it's up to him to decide how to deal with him.

Furthermore, the exact situation is still unclear.

They all knew that Doflamingo was already planning to snatch the Op-Op Fruit and give it to Corazon, so they really couldn't understand what Corazon's reason for doing this now.

Doflamingo turned and walked out, and a short while later, Dias Barreus and everyone else were all killed.

Since I can't even protect the Op-Op Fruit, I might as well just die!

Serka and his companions also collected the treasures left behind by the enemy, intending to take them with them later.

They've really gotten used to plucking feathers from a passing goose!

Abel, on the other hand, was thinking about how he could rescue Law should something unexpected happen.

Chapter 262 You Can't Shoot Me

"What? Corazon is a traitor? Or a Navy spy?"

"I knew something was off about him a long time ago."

"Find him quickly, he's seriously injured, he couldn't have gone far."

……

Without Abel's intervention, although Law was forced by Corazon to eat the Op-Op Fruit, he still had the unfortunate experience of encountering Vergo, who had infiltrated the Navy.

The evidence that Corazon had painstakingly collected was also destroyed.

As for Corazon himself, he was beaten half to death and was left barely alive. While Vergo was reporting to Doflamingo, he used the Silence-Silence Fruit to quietly escape with Law.

However, his identity as a naval undercover agent has been completely exposed.

In order to give Luo a chance to survive, he ultimately chose to sacrifice himself.

“Listen, Luo. No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to come out.”

"What are you doing? If you're found out, you'll die!"

Corazon immediately broke into a big smile. "No, no matter what, I'm Doflamingo's younger brother, his last remaining family member. He won't kill me, don't worry."

"But……"

"There's no time left, Luo. You must take good care of yourself and live happily."

After saying that, Corazon tightly closed the treasure chest, placed other chests on top of it, and finally used the power of the Silence-Silence Fruit to silence Law, preventing his voice from being heard.

After doing all this, Corazon first ran to another place, then took a deep breath and ran out on his own initiative, attracting the attention of the family executives.

"Corazon! He's here!"

"Don't let that traitor get away."

"Take this punch, G~~~"

Bang!

Corazon was already at his limit. After being beaten up by the officers, he managed to crawl back to where the others had piled up the treasure chests, and then used his body to block the chest containing Law.

This tactic is called "the darkest place is under the lamp".

The most dangerous place is the safest place; no one would ever imagine that Luo is hiding here.

Thinking of this, Corazon even felt a little smug.

He didn't notice that Abel, who was mixed in with the cadres, immediately focused his attention on the box behind him.

He even saw the entire process of Corazon hiding Luo inside from the rooftop.

But he said nothing, pretending not to know, as it wasn't his turn to make his appearance yet.

Corazon is now completely indifferent to his own life.

Because he knew he was doomed.

"I'm sorry, Luo, I still lied to you."

With this thought in mind, Corazon leaned against the treasure chest, coughing up blood as he calmly watched Doflamingo gradually approach him.

"Why? Tell me, Corazon!"

Doflamingo questioned his younger brother in a deep voice, his eyes, though covered, revealing extreme anger, confusion, and pain.

"There's no reason why, because I'm different from you."

"Marin code 01746, this is Lieutenant Commander Rossinante from the Naval Headquarters."

"Captain Doflamingo of the Donquixote Family, I am a Marine who infiltrated to prevent the tragedy you have caused."

Corazon drew his gun, but he never had the courage to fire, and in the end, he let his arm fall limply.

"You have disappointed me greatly, Corazon."

"Hand over the Operation Fruit, and where is Law?"

Corazon suddenly laughed happily, and upon seeing this smile, Doflamingo immediately had a bad feeling.

"The Op-Op Fruit has been eaten by Law. He is now a Devil Fruit user and has successfully escaped from the cage."

"He's currently on a surveillance ship at Navy Headquarters, under their protection, and you can no longer get close to him."
