The Op-Op Fruit's Secret Revealed, Corazon Appears
At this moment, in the video footage, Doflamingo, controlling his clones and Bellamy, launched a deadly Luffy on Luffy, whose hands were bound, but Luffy managed to dodge them all.
However, just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, Doflamingo controlled a clone to appear behind him and kicked him from the top floor to the bottom floor. Then, he controlled the clone and Bellamy to follow.
For a moment, only Law, Doflamingo's true form, and Trebol, whose body could not yet be pieced back together, remained on the top floor.
Luo slowly got up from the ground, panting heavily, and looked at Doflamingo, who had his back to him.
"Then let's begin with you, Luo." Doflamingo said coldly, his back to him.
"Hehehe, Doflamingo, we must tear them to pieces, just like I am now." Trebol, standing behind Law, immediately egged him on.
To everyone's surprise, Law ignored him and stared at Doflamingo, asking, "There's something I've never understood. You're just a former Celestial Dragons who fell from Mary Geoise to the mortal realm, so where do you get the power to mobilize CP0, which is directly under the World Government?!"
"Fufu, I didn't expect you to still be thinking about this when you're about to be beheaded!!" Doflamingo turned around and sneered, "Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish! It's because I possess crucial, National Treasure -level intelligence about the interior of Holy Land Mary Geoise."
"The National Treasure of Mary Geoise?" Luo used his sword to support himself as he stood up and said.
"Yes! The very existence of this National Treasure is enough to shake the entire world," Doflamingo said smugly. "To those guys, I, a fugitive, hold the most dangerous card in my hand. So, those incredibly foolish Celestial Dragons, after racking their brains, realized they couldn't kill me and had no choice but to obediently cooperate with me."
At this point, a hint of regret crept into Doflamingo's voice, "If your Op-Op Fruit ability had fallen into my hands that day, I could have used Mary Geoise's National Treasure to successfully seize real power in this world!"
"Your abilities have such immense value; the personality transplant surgery goes without saying, but you're probably aware of its other incredible aspect!"
"If the user of the Op-Op Fruit possesses sufficient talent, it can even fulfill humanity's age-old dreams, which is why many people call it the ultimate Devil Fruit."
"Ah! I know," Luo said calmly. "I've known that for a long time! But I'm not interested. The highest level of this Devil Fruit ability is— Perennial Youth Operation that grants others eternal life, but once this surgery is performed, the user will die as a result."
"That's right, so I never intended for you to eat it in the first place," Doflamingo said, dissatisfied.
On the screen, a barrage of comments immediately appeared: {Trafalgar Law, come to XXX country! I can give you anything you want, as long as you perform this surgery for me.}
{Please! Trafalgar Law, please perform this surgery on me! For the sake of this dying patient's plea.}
{Trafalgar Law, where are you now? I'm coming to find you right now. I'm going to catch you and make you perform this surgery for me.}
{Whoever helps me capture Trafalgar Law will receive a bounty of three billion Beli.}

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"Captain... Captain,... can your Devil Fruit ability really grant immortality?" Bepo and the other crew members looked at Law in astonishment and asked.
"Yes! I only found out about it recently." Luo nodded and said, "However, there's another prerequisite for this surgery: the patient must be willing."
At this point, he looked up at the screen full of comments and said coldly, "I will not perform this surgery for anyone unless they can bring Mr. Corazon back to life."
The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar of Shakky.
"A fruit that can grant immortality?" Rayleigh murmured. "If that fruit had existed back then, Roger might not have had to die!"
"Hey, old man Rayleigh, you're not up to any funny business, are you?" Shakky glared at him and said.
"How could that be?" Rayleigh shrugged. "Don't be fooled by how casually Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law talk. I think there's a prerequisite for a Devil Fruit user to perform this surgery on someone else: the person must be willing. I don't have the ability to persuade anyone, and besides..."
At this point, he looked at the Life-Calling Stone in his hand, "... I now have other ways to see him again, so why bother with wicked thoughts! Although I can't stay with him for long, this is enough!"
The New World, Moby Dick.
"What?! Eternal life?! This Op-Op Fruit too abnormal!"
"Exactly! Not only is it freakish in combat, but it's freakish in every other aspect. No wonder Mary Geoise would hide its information like National Treasure; it makes perfect sense."
"Do you think that if Devil Fruit User uses this ultimate ability on themselves, Devil Fruit User won't die from it?!"
"Don't be silly! How could that be? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I bet there's a prerequisite for casting this spell: the user can't use this ultimate ability on themselves."
"Alright! What's the point of talking about this here? Why don't we just bring Trafalgar Law back and question him properly?"
"Exactly! And maybe we can even have him perform the surgery on Pops!"
"Yes! Then Pops won't have to worry about injuries like he used to!"
"That's right, that's right."
"..."
"..."
Hearing the heated discussions among the crew members all around him, Marco glanced at Whitebeard, who sat high up, and said, "Pops, you..."
"Gurarara, don't even think about that! Marco, I'm already very content! Now that I've recovered to my peak strength, I have no other desires besides rescuing Ace and Jinbe!" Whitebeard interrupted, taking a sip of his drink. "But others are never satisfied, Marco!"
"Yes! I understand, Pops." Marco nodded and said.
New World, Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.
"Mama, immortality? What a coveted gift!" Big Mom's eyes were filled with greed. She then ordered her children underground, "Keep a close eye on everything that Trafalgar Law does. I want to capture him as soon as he enters the New World."
"Yes, Mom." The children below nodded and said.
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Immortality? What a boring ability!" Kaido scoffed. "Compared to that, I'm more looking forward to war. Only the strong deserve to live."
As he spoke, he looked at his subordinate beside him and asked, "Jack, how's the situation over there?"
"Reporting to the Governor, Lord Jack has broken through the encirclement! However, the losses are severe. But Caesar is still in our hands, and he's on his way back. Lord Jin has gone to fetch him!" the subordinate reported.
"Oh, I see! I understand!" Kaido a breath and said unhappily, "Linlin, I'll remember this! I'll settle this score with you later."
The New World, Red Force.
"Immortality? These new generation abilities are truly terrifying!" Shanks exclaimed.
Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
"That piece of trash Doflamingo actually revealed the secret of the Op-Op Fruit!" Shepard X. Pitt, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter Warrior God of Agriculture, raged.
"They really know how to cause us trouble!" said the Warrior God of Finance, Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro displeasure.
"That's right! So, should we keep him or not?!" asked Topman Saint Warcury, the Warrior God of Justice.
"Keep him? What's the point of keeping him? His secrets have been completely exposed! He's caused us so much trouble, what's the point of keeping him around!" suggested Marcus Saint Mars, the Warrior God of the Environment. "We can only feel at ease after we get rid of him."
"Then let CP0 handle it! And suppress this matter for now, otherwise if it gets exposed, Morgans will need to be warned." The Warrior God of Science and Defense — Lucy Saint Saturn —declared. "After the battle with Whitebeard, we'll have enough manpower to announce this. By then, I estimate Kaido won't dare to act rashly."
"Okay! Let's do it that way then!" The other four elders nodded and said.
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Damn God from Beyond the Domain, how dare you reveal my trump card like that!" Doflamingo roared, veins bulging. "Looks like I have to make my move first!"
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and skeins of yarn floated upwards from his hand. Behind him, under Rebecca's horrified gaze, he slowly uttered two words, "Birdcage."
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Wow! I never imagined that Torao's Devil Fruit ability would have such a monstrous effect. It's terrifying!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Yes! The temptation of immortality is just too great for humans! Torao is now the target of everyone's hatred!" Usopp said sympathetically.
"You make it sound like our situation is so much better than Torao's. We're the target of everyone's criticism just the same!" Nami glared at the two of them and said, "But I wonder how Torao got that fruit in the first place. If I had gotten it, I would have sold it long ago and made a fortune!"
"..." Everyone stared at her speechlessly. Suddenly, Luffy shouted, "I've decided! Even after entering the New World, I will still form an alliance with Torao."
"Why!"
On the other side, in the video footage, Doflamingo and Law are fighting. While fighting, Doflamingo talks about Law, saying that everything Law knows now was learned from the Donquixote Family's executives. Now that he's using those skills against them, he's really an ungrateful brat!
Luo told him that he was only alive because of Mr. Corazon, and he was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. That was why he was using his current power to destroy them.
The next second, the camera shifted, and the video showed a garbage dump.
The first thing that caught the eye was a fair-skinned child with a grenade strapped to his neck. He was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and glaring resentfully at the two people not far in front of him.
The next second, his character profile appeared. "Trafalgar Law, ten years old."
At the same time, the character introductions of the two individuals also appeared. "Diamante, the highest-ranking official of the Donquixote Family, twenty-nine years old."
"Trebol, the highest-ranking official in the Donquixote Family, is thirty-three years old."
Around them, there were three other people watching the play: two children and one adult.
Their character introductions quickly appeared. "Donquixote Family Officer - Baby-5, eight years old."
"Buffalo, a member of the Donquixote Family, is fourteen years old."
"Donquixote Family Leader - Doflamingo, 25 years old."
The next second, the camera shifts to the outskirts of the landfill, revealing the entire island to the world.
This is an island filled with waste and highly polluted.
Its description immediately appeared. "North Blue, port town, Spider Miles, sixteen years ago."
The camera then shifts again, returning to a house.
At this moment, Ronaldo, who had already been defeated by Diamante, stood in front of him and Trebol.
When Trebol asked him how he knew he would die in three years, he replied...
"Because my parents are doctors, I've seen medical records and I know this very well," Luo replied.
"What a clever fellow!" Diamante exclaimed.
"That's why I want to kill as many people as possible within three years and destroy everything." Luo ignored Diamante's praise and said in a tone full of world-weariness.
Diamante and Trebol were horrified by Ronaldo's words, both thinking he had gone mad.
Just then, Baby-5 and Buffalo suddenly leaned out the window and told them that Lord Corazon had returned.
The next second, a man wearing a red hood, a black feather coat, and faded trousers slowly walked up the stairs outside the room. As he approached the door, he suddenly fell to the ground, which immediately drew excited cheers from Baby-5 and Buffalo.
The man immediately stood up, then punched each of them, sending them flying, before walking over to a nearby sofa and sitting down.
His character profile immediately appeared. "The highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, Doflamingo's younger brother, the Second Corazon — Rosinante."
