"Another one."
"Unexpected, but logical encounter."
After Kushina met Monet and the three lolis, Doflamingo met Law.
Lucian sometimes likes to see these different changes.
The Empire has descended.
If everything in the world remains unchanged, then Lucian would consider the Empire a failure.
The moment the Empire descended, the original trajectory of this world became blurred.
Blackbeard might defect tomorrow.
Ace might die in an accident the day after tomorrow.
Shanks might be hacked to death three days from now.
Anything is possible.
Can no longer view the world's trajectory with the original perspective; the butterfly effect is happening everywhere.
"D?"
Hearing the D in Law's full name, Doflamingo was slightly surprised but didn't care.
Regardless of D or not.
The moment the Empire descended, no matter how awesome D is, it can only be a joke.
"Yes, my lord."
Law nodded, then knelt and slammed his head hard against the ground, pleading again: "Please, save my parents, save this country."
"Get up and talk."
Doflamingo raised his hand and hooked, pulling the kneeling Law up with threads.
Standing up, Law still said seriously: "As long as you save my parents, I am willing to do anything for you."
"Fufufufufu, such a determined gaze, rare to see..."
Doflamingo smiled indifferently, then pointed to the sky: "Did you see? The Empire is cleaning up the North State in all directions, and will soon arrive at the White Town."
"Everyone has a chance to be saved."
Law knew this.
After all, it was broadcast throughout the territory.
But his parents were critically ill and might die today. He was afraid he couldn't wait for the Empire's rescue, so Doflamingo was his hope.
Law, 7 years old this year.
In the original timeline, his country was destroyed and his family died at 10, and he joined the Donquixote Family to take revenge on the world.
At 13, Rosinante forced Law to eat the Op-Op Fruit to cure his disease.
Also because Rosinante was killed, he rebelled against the family and hated Doflamingo.
But now.
Law's parents are alive.
He didn't join the family and meet Rosinante, not to mention Rosinante is dead.
Law and Doflamingo, meeting for the first time.
"Hmm? Everyone looks sickly, can you tell me what happened here?"
Doflamingo asked while walking, somewhat surprised that everyone here was pale, their hair turning white, one weaker than the other.
Law clenched his fists painfully: "I don't know what happened either, but everyone in the White Town has contracted Amber Lead Syndrome. Even my father, who is a doctor, has no cure."
"You have it too?"
Looking at the equally weak Law, Doflamingo frowned slightly. Amber Lead Syndrome is a terminal illness.
He dared not guarantee.
Whether the Empire could cure it.
If not, then they could only give up on this country where everyone is critically ill.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want my parents to die..."
Law's eyes were red. Since he could understand things, his parents and everyone he knew fell ill.
He also secretly heard his father, a doctor, say to his mother: My poor child, won't live past six years.
Six years!
Now seven years old, Law can only live until 13 before dying, and his parents will only die faster. One can imagine how desperate Law is.
"Don't you know?"
Looking at the confusion on everyone's face, Doflamingo said something that made Law even more desperate: "Amber Lead Syndrome is poisoning under the long-term influence of the mineral Amber Lead."
"If I remember correctly, the White Town is a country specializing in Amber Lead. No prevention?"
?
Law was sluggish.
Amber Lead is the pride of the White Town. Selling Amber Lead made this country prosperous.
Who could have thought it was the source of the disease.
Wait, Law retorted: "But Father said, our country is wealthy because the World Government strongly supports mining Amber Lead..."
Finally.
Law's eyes lost focus.
"Fufufufufu, so that's it. The World Government concealed the truth and fooled everyone in this country..."
Doflamingo also found the ignorance of this country laughable.
Amber Lead Syndrome, the source of the disease can be seen literally, yet even the doctors here were kept in the dark.
Too naive.
In fact, the World Government blocked all exit roads from the White Town, and those seeking medical treatment outside were also killed.
Resulting in this country.
Everyone not knowing the truth.
War broke out three years later, revealing the truth, making Law hate and want to take revenge on the world.
"It seems my mission cannot continue here, and I can't save you either..."
Knowing the cause of this country's disease, Doflamingo felt helpless. Who knows if the Empire can save them.
"I'll report it, wait."
"Thank you, my lord. If I survive, I will repay your kindness."
Law knelt down again, constantly looking at Doflamingo, wanting to remember his face.
"Fufufufufu, no need to thank me, thank the Empire. But don't have too much hope, this disease is terminal..."
Doflamingo shrugged, not taking Law's repayment seriously at all. Just a child, will forget when he grows up.
"Interesting."
Seeing this scene, Lucian suddenly felt it was interesting.
The avenger became the repayer of kindness.
The world is changing all the time.
"Tsunade, there is a place called the White Town eight hundred miles to your southeast. Go take a look."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
regarding whether Tsunade can solve the Amber Lead Syndrome, Lucian thinks it's simple.
It's just mineral radiation, not a terminal illness in the Empire.
Watching the North State stabilize.
Lucian was thinking about a question at this moment.
"Does the Blue Sea Realm have a Pure Land?"
"Or, where is the Underworld (Yomi)?"
A certain afro skeleton, Revive-Revive Fruit user.
Due to the ability produced by eating the Revive-Revive Fruit while alive, his soul walked out of the Underworld and prepared to return to his body, but got lost in the dense fog of the Florian Triangle for a year. When found, his body had already become a skeleton.
"Soul walked out of the Underworld, soul got lost for a year, returned to the body again, resurrected after death..."
Lucian recalled the introduction about Brook; the word "Underworld" was too prominent.
"Since he walked out of the Underworld, it proves the Underworld exists..."
"The soul was not destroyed when going to the Underworld, which also proves that there may be more living souls in the Underworld."
Here, Lucian glanced at the North State and stood up.
Athena and Konan, who had been by his side, looked sideways. Konan asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are you going out?"
"I am interested in the Underworld of this world."
Lucian is interested in the dwelling places of souls, like the Pure Land of the Ninja World, like the Valhalla of the Celestial Realm.
Rich in spirit particles, source of energy.
Florian Triangle.
Here, dense fog pervades all year round.
Pirates entering will get lost and eventually die here.
Not because Moria is here. Now Moria has just been defeated by Kaido a few years ago, and all his companions were killed.
Seven years later.
Will he drive the terrifying Thriller Bark, built like an island, here.
"Yohohoho, saw it again, what kind of monster is that..."
On a broken ship, an afro skeleton was laughing, but his voice trembled.
Since Brook resurrected, he has been staying on the ship, a lonely skeleton frame.
Since Moria has not settled here, it is truly uninhabited for hundreds of miles.
"A thousand meters? No, ten thousand meters? No no no, tens of thousands of meters are possible."
Brook looked ahead in horror.
There were three massive black shadows, with tops resembling heads, flashing scarlet red light like eyes.
But the next moment.
The fog became thicker.
The black shadows disappeared.
Scaring Brook, a pile of bones, to collapse on the ground: "Yohohoho, this place is too magical, too terrifying..."
Every few years, he can see those terrifying black shadows flash by.
"If they are really living monsters, if they are really as tall as I see..."
"Wouldn't they easily destroy islands? Invincible?"
Brook racked his brains but couldn't understand why there were such huge black shadows.
"Does the World Government know?"
"Or, is it some kind of terrifying weapon of the World Government?"
Bored Brook could only think about these boring things.
Because it was too boring.
"Your Majesty, the black shadows just now should be... a mirage, right?"
At this time, an uncertain pleasant female voice sounded, startling Brook.
"Doesn't matter, what's important now is finding the Underworld."
Another steady male voice sounded, and Brook stood up excitedly.
People, finally seeing people!
Swish swish!
Two figures appeared in front of him. Before Brook could speak, Lucian grabbed him.
"Soul Investigation!"
Lucian chose to read all of Brook's memories directly.
Guard Captain.
Swordsman musician.
Acting Captain.
Promise with Laboon.
Eating the fruit.
Total annihilation.
Soul leaving the body.
Memories flashed by one by one.
"None."
After withdrawing his hand, Lucian didn't find any memories about the Underworld.
Then he looked at Brook.
This is a legend. Because of Redfield the Red Count, Brook is a hardcore fan.
Red Count met Brook by chance when he was a child, was infected by his ideals, and began to worship Brook.
Also because of Brook, he chose to go to sea.
"Yohohohoho..."
After recovering, Brook looked at Konan and walked over involuntarily: "This beautiful lady, can you..."
Boom!
Before the words fell.
Brook was suppressed on the ground by Reiatsu, unable to move his whole body.
Lucian said calmly: "Can I ask you to die again?"
What does that mean?
Brook couldn't understand in his fear.
"Time Regression!"
Lucian's power of time enveloped Brook, retreating rapidly.
Turning back Brook's own time.
Hum!
Ten years!
Twenty years!
Thirty years!
Still an afro skeleton, body didn't change much.
After all, until now.
Brook has been dead for more than thirty years.
Hum!
The next moment.
Flesh and blood began to appear on Brook's skeleton body.
Soul left the body again.
Body state returned to the moment he just died.
Hum!
Brook's soul disappeared.
"Time Acceleration!"
Lucian stopped time regression and accelerated the flow of his own time.
Brook's soul reappeared.
Konan's eyes lit up: "The soul disappeared just now and went to the Underworld, right? Now walked out of the Underworld?"
"That's right."
Capturing that dissipating Underworld aura, Lucian turned time back to before.
"????"
The afro skeleton reappeared.
When Brook's consciousness recovered, he saw Lucian opening a space and walking in with Konan.
Hum.
Space closed.
Brook was sluggish.
"Yohohohoho, staying here alone for too long always causes hallucinations..."
"There was no one at all, right."
