"This is great, Law!"

Corazon, who just been contacted by Doflamingo, then called out happily to Law.

Corazon then explained about the Ope Ope no Mi and its features.

He also said he would give the fruit to Law, because he himself couldn't eat it because he had already eaten the Nagi Nagi no Mi.

Corazon also said that Doflamingo may have started to suspect him of being a spy, so he has no intention of returning to the crew.

Corazon then decided to steal the Ope Ope no Mi fruit before it could be obtained by the Donquixote Pirates and gave it to Law!

Then Corazon took Den-Den Mushi to call.

*purupurupururu

Soon after that....

"Crackers."

"Cookies.... It's me."

"Rosinante! Long time no contact from you! I'm quite worried! .... Garp! Get out for a second!"

"What!? I just brought you rice crackers! You should have made some tea or something!"

Rosinante smiled wryly at the sound of the conversation from the other side.

'Vice-Admiral Garp, huh....'

"Uhh.... Maybe I'll call you another time, Sengoku-san."

Hearing this, Sengoku was heard yelling at Garp!

"I said get out of here, you old dog! I'm working here!"

Soon after that....

"Uhh.... Done?"

"Sorry.... You can begin."

Then Rosinante asked and discussed intel about the Ope Ope no Mi and how Doflamingo intended to rob the fruit.

Corazon and Sengoku then prepared a plan for the raid and capture of the Donquixote Pirates.

After that....

"Sengoku-san.... There's one more report."

"Another else? Tell me!"

"Lepus.... He's disappeared."

".... What!? He disappeared!?"

"Right.... I also just found out from Doffy earlier. Lepus and Brisa disappeared and there was no trace of them."

"...."

"Sengoku-san.... If he doesn't want to be found, I don't think it will easy to find him."

"Hah~.... What a mess.... I understand."

Sengoku could only sigh and then end the call.

*kachak

3 weeks later....

Corazon and Law arrive at Minion Island.

Corazon then went off alone to steal the Ope Ope no Mi at the Barrels Pirates headquarters.

However, after successfully stealing it and trying to escape, he was caught by several members of the Barrels Pirates who were on patrol. And so, fight ensued.

Corazon managed to defeat them, but he also suffered some pretty severe gunshot wounds.

After returning to Law, Rosinante forced Law to eat the Ope Ope no Mi right away.

Then Law saw that Rosinante's body was badly injured and panicked. But Corazon himself actually told Law to go hand over a secret letter to the Marine.

Law, who later found several Marine soldiers, handed over the secret letter to one of them and then asked to follow him to help save Rosinante.

Then the Marine soldier who received the letter and Law asked for help was very surprised to see Rosinante! Rosinante was also surprised to see the Marine member, because he is Vergo, the first 'Corazon' from the Donquixote Pirates!

Rosinante and Vergo finally realized that they were both spies for two opposite parties.

Vergo was angry and beat Rosinante. Then he contacted and reported about Rosinante to Doflamingo. Rosinante took this opportunity to escape and hide Law.

After hearing the report from Vergo, Doflamingo then angrily uses 'Birdcage' to prevent anyone from escaping from Minion Island.

The Doflamingo Pirates then massacred the Barrels Pirates while looking for Rosinante.

They later found Rosinante leaning weakly against a pile of treasure chests, wine casks, and chests of money.

After they find him, Rosinante admits that he is a Marine spy. He also said that Law had eaten the Ope Ope no Mi fruit.

Doflamingo pointed a gun at Rosinante.

"Why.... Why did you come back but to mess with me, Rosinante!? Why did you force me to kill my family for a second time!?"

Hearing what Doflamingo said, Rosinante just smiled bitterly and reply weakly.

".... Law won't follow in your footsteps, Doffy.... He's already beat his fate of to die in three years! .... He's no longer the cold and heartless Law he used to be when he first came among the mad pirates! .... He shouldn't be a tool for the manifestation of hatred like you!"

"...."

".... Not only Law. Lepus and Brisa whose disappeared also same. Haha.... Honestly, I don't really know why but I'm more afraid of Lepus than I'm afraid of you or anyone of you from the 'Family'. You all don't know who he truly is and what can he truly do.... And you know what an old wise quote said, 'Something unknown is the source of fear'."

"...."

"Law... Lepus and Brisa too. They have right to leave! They are free!"

"...!!!"

*dorr *dorr *dorr *dorr *dorrr

Doflamingo coldly shoots Rosinante!

Then Doflamingo turned to leave, while the rest of the Donquixote Family took the pile of chests there and then followed Doflamingo back to the ship.

When they reached the shore, where their ship was, they were surprised to see a Marine battleship in the distance.

It was at this moment that they were caught off guard, Law, which Corazon had previously hidden in one of the treasure chests, came out and quietly fled.

With the sound of cannon fire as if to pay his last respect, Marine HQ Commander Donquixote Rosinante gave his last breath.
