'Why is he back so early today…' He gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doflamingo continued calmly, \"Get on the ship. We're setting out. The Marines have caught up to us again. It's that Vice Admiral Tsuru from headquarters. Move quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and walked back toward the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing below the ship, Corazon was drenched in sweat. Relief washed over him as he discovered Law hadn't run to expose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the boy stepped out from under the ladder, a crooked grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes us even,\" he said with a mocking tone. \"Two years ago when I stabbed you, you kept it secret for me. Consider this payback. Hehehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mischievous laugh, he ran back up the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corazon let out a long breath, his body relaxing as he collapsed onto the ground. Watching the brat run up, he made a silent decision in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doflamingo's voice came again from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up, Corazon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The North Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hours of fleeing, the Donquixote Family finally shook off Vice Admiral Tsuru's relentless pursuit. Their escape was clumsy, leaving them battered and scattered, but they managed to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, two people were missing, Law and Corazon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the clash, no one had the chance to look for them. Now that things had settled, they searched every corner of the ship but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senor Pink walked out from the cabin holding a piece of paper. \"Young master, I found this in Corazon's hammock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doflamingo took the paper. Written across it were simple words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've taken Law to find a cure. –Corazon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paper shredded into countless pieces between his fingers as a strange fury welled up inside him. For the first time, suspicion arose in his heart toward his younger brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, he realized that ever since Rosinante returned a few years ago, the family's growth had been oddly hindered. Somehow, the Marines always seemed to find them. And now, this chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I hope I'm wrong,' Doflamingo thought. 'After all, you're my only brother…Corazon…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in the North Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small wooden boat drifted across the sea with its sail raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tied up tightly, Law was thrashing and cursing, \"You bastard! Let me go! What are you trying to do, Corazon?! Untie me! Hey! Say something, damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purururu~ Purururu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law's eyes lit up with excitement. \"Pick it up! That must be Doflamingo! Help! Save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Corazon didn't react. He ignored the call completely, sitting silently as he read the newspaper, searching for news of famous doctors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Law fell asleep out of exhaustion. Corazon also set the paper down with a sigh, frustrated that he had found nothing useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed a secret number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marine Headquarters, Marineford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his office, Sengoku was happily munching on rice crackers when the sound of a Den Den Mushi buzzed from his drawer. His eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his Haki to check the surroundings, then picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crackers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Rosinante's calm voice answered, \"Cookies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the code, he added, \"It's me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku asked right away, \"How's it going, Rosinante?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything's fine,\" he said. \"But I'll need to suspend the mission for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tossing another cracker into his mouth, Sengoku mumbled, \"Ran into trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A personal matter I need to handle,\" came the reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku nodded. \"I see. And what about the kids? Still not leaving no matter how badly you treat them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosinante let out a quiet hum. \"Those three won't work out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku leaned back, sensing someone approaching. \"They've already made quite a name for themselves. Be cautious. I'm leaving this entirely in your hands. Do as you see fit. I'll wait for your next report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call ended just as two figures appeared outside the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting, Admiral Sengoku! That officer who requested transfer has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku tidied his desk. \"Let him in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clack, clack, clack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound of polished shoes echoed in the room as a young man stood before Sengoku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's you,\" Sengoku said, examining him. \"I've heard your first year in the Marines has been outstanding. You want to transfer to G-5, is that right? What's your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young marine stood at attention, his shoes snapping together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir. My name is Vergo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The North Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorca and Robin were aboard a merchant ship headed toward the Grand Line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under a parasol, cold drinks sat on the table. The two of them rested in chairs, studying a map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin glanced at the circles drawn on the Grand Line map, curiosity in her eyes. \"These circles, are they the places you've already visited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorca smiled and gave a nod. \"Yeah. The Grand Line's weather is unpredictable and the dangers keep rising, so I couldn't visit every island. From Sabaody to Reverse Mountain, I never went back. I sailed straight into the Blues instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin's eyes widened. \"That's still so many islands. I wonder how the Grand Line compares to the four seas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorca chuckled. \"Each has its own charm. It's beautiful, dangerous, and full of strength. Anyway, most of the strong in the world all head for the Grand Line eventually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin nodded thoughtfully. \"I see. Then where are we going now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread the map on the table. \"The Grand Line has several routes. I've already sailed along the outer one. This time, we'll take the middle path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a pen of another color and began circling islands, starting from Reverse Mountain all the way to the Sabaody Archipelago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Line. Amazon Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after returning, Boa Hancock became the island's empress, relying on both her beauty and her powerful Devil Fruit abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep inside, she was still terrified of people discovering her past as a slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To hide her fear, she put on a mask. In front of everyone, she showed herself as an arrogant tyrant. Proud, willful, and utterly scornful of others. Even passing by a harmless little animal, she would cruelly kick it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every act reinforced her image as empress. Yet because of her beauty, the people adored her even more. Slowly, she began to lose herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as the new ruler, she prepared for a military campaign unlike any in the history of Amazon Lily, one that would cement her position and authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, \"Marine Hunter\" Dracule Mihawk crossed blades with Red-Haired Shanks. Their duel raged, but midway through, Beckman rushed in, whispering urgent news to the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grave expression, the red haired pirate bid farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointed, Mihawk once again set out on his lonely search for a worthy opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months later. The Grand Line. Alabasta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the purge in the East Blue ended, Sakazuki dismissed the other nine warships to return to headquarters. He took Bullet and Enel with him, sailing a single ship to…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rainbase, the stronghold of Crocodile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they arrived, black-clad men poured out, clearing the streets and forcing residents away. One man, clearly the leader, walked up, humbly welcoming them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight was unsettling. Crocodile's men, hailed as heroes by the locals, looked utterly servile here. Feeling bitter, residents muttered angrily, glaring at Sakazuki and the marines trailing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enel raised an eyebrow at the hostility. \"This guy's stirring trouble already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakazuki snorted coldly. \"Throw a dog a few bones and it thinks it deserves a seat at the table. A dog is still a dog. It never remembers the beating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd along the street, a man and woman tried to stay hidden. Robin's body trembled, frozen in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorca gently stroked her back, trying to comfort her. She only began to calm down once Sakazuki walked past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could slip away, Sakazuki unexpectedly returned with his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes fell on Lorca, who was holding Robin, and on her back turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a demon whispering straight into her ear, his voice reached Robin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you... afraid of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you for reading!
