Law's Tragic Childhood and True Name Revealed
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
"Mr. Corazon... I never expected to see you again in this way, it's wonderful!" Luo's eyes sparkled with joy as he murmured, "Thank you so much! God from Beyond the Domain."
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Rosinante, I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have agreed to let you go undercover." Sengoku murmured, his eyes filled with regret. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have... you wouldn't have..."
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"How come I never noticed how good your acting was before, Doflamingo?" Corazon said resentfully. "It's such a waste that you're not an actor!"
At this moment, in the video footage, Diamante and Trebol introduced Corazon's identity to Law, explaining that he was not only the highest-ranking member of the family but also Doflamingo brother.
However, due to a major trauma he suffered as a child, he is unable to speak, and he also dislikes children.
Soon, Luo realized just how much Corazon hated children.
He grabbed Luo by the head, carried him to the door, and threw him into the garbage dump below. From then on, whenever Luo encountered him, he would throw Luo out without saying a word.
Even so, Luo still showed no intention of leaving. He not only persisted but also developed a deep hatred for Corazon.
That day, the Donquixote Family was having a meal together when Luo walked in.
At first, Jora, who was still quite slim at the time, was about to send him away, but Doflamingo stopped Doflamingo and told her that he had invited Law. At the same time, he warned Law that he could stay, but he should remember one thing: Corazon was his only brother, and anyone who dared to touch him would be killed by him.
Law ignored Doflamingo's warning and instead glared at Corazon with resentment.
Suddenly, Jora, with her sharp eyes, noticed Law's unusually pale skin and exclaimed in alarm, "It's Amber Lead Syndrome! If he gets infected, it'll be a terrible disaster!"
These words immediately stunned most of the people present. Buffalo was so frightened that he clung to the wall, telling Luo to get out.
Fortunately, Doflamingo, who knew the inside story, stepped forward and warned Jora not to spread these hearsay rumors, explaining that Amber Lead Syndrome was just poisoning and wouldn't spread to others.
He then looked at Luo with curiosity, wondering how he had escaped from the heavily guarded white town of Flevance.
Luo told him that he had escaped by crossing the border while hiding inside a corpse.
This immediately shocked most of the people present. Doflamingo, however, saw a reflection of his past self in Law and asked him what he hated.
Luo told him that he no longer trusted anyone, and warned Corazon to be careful, as he wouldn't let him off the hook.
On the screen, a flood of confused comments appeared: {Hey, isn't Amber Lead Syndrome an infectious disease? I remember the World Government advertised it that way! How can it just be poisoning?! Have we been fooled by the World Government again?}
If Amber Lead Syndrome is simply a matter of poisoning, then weren't the citizens of Flevance all mistakenly killed?!
{Damn the World Government, what are they hiding from us this time?!}
{What on earth is going on?! God from Beyond the Domain, show us the real truth!}
{...}
{...}
Then, the camera pans back to the once-famous white town of Flevance.
This country was once very wealthy, simply because there was a lead mine called Amber Lead on their land.
This material can be used not only in daily life but also in weapons manufacturing.
Therefore, it was quickly spotted by the swift-thinking World Government, which then amassed a great deal of wealth from it.
However, what the World Government did not disclose was that they had conducted an investigation into this country and found that once this Amber Lead was mined, it would produce toxins that would seep into the human body.
Moreover, this disease can be passed down from generation to generation, causing life expectancy to decrease with each generation.
Luo was born into an ordinary doctor's family in this country. He was very happy at that time because he had his parents and sister by his side.
But soon, Amber Lead Syndrome broke out and quickly spread throughout the country.
The World Government ignored this, leading neighboring countries to believe that Amber Lead Syndrome was an infectious disease, resulting in lockdowns and quarantines, and even the killing of citizens suffering from Amber Lead Syndrome.
Thus, war broke out in the struggle for self-defense and survival!
In this war, most of the civilians were killed, except for children, because the soldiers told the nuns at the school that they would not kill children.
During this time, the nun tried to take Law away with her, but Law refused because his sister, Lami, was still in the hospital.
However, before parting, the nun told Luo that there is no despair in this world, and that the light of salvation, filled with compassion, will surely come upon us.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Luo's parents died at the hands of soldiers. Not only that, but the children who were supposed to be taken away by the nuns also died at the hands of the army. Even the hospital where his sister was located was destroyed in a raging fire.
This is the tragic change that Luo experienced in his childhood.
On the screen, a flood of sympathetic comments immediately appeared: {Waaaa, Trafalgar Law is so pitiful! Damn the World Government.}
{This is pain no child could bear. It's so painful. Trafalgar Law breaks my heart. Damn World Government.}
{Given everything Trafalgar Law has been through, even if he wanted to destroy the world, I would understand him. It's truly tragic! Damn the World Government.}
Why, why do such young children have to endure such suffering? Robin and Law of the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates are both suffering like this. Who did they offend?! Damn World Government!

The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Polar Tang.
Bepo and the others looked at Law with concern, asking, "Captain, are you... are you alright?!"
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry." Luo turned around, glanced at them, and said calmly, "I've long since let go of these things!"
He turned his head back, but a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes. "Father, Mother, Lami, if... if I had obtained the Op-Op Fruit sooner, then I could... I could have saved you!"
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Sigh!" Sengoku sighed helplessly, remaining silent, for he didn't know what to say. How could the World Government have committed such evil over the past few hundred years?
If everything were made public, it could directly threaten the World Government's rule, and there would be nothing he could do about it. Firstly, he couldn't make up for the evil the World Government had committed over the years.
Secondly, he had no way to stop the God from Beyond the Domain from revealing these things.
Therefore, he could only watch silently; after all, by this point, he had already resigned himself to the fact that he was not afraid of being bitten by lice!
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Waaaaah, Torao, this is so tragic!" Luffy, Franky, and the others wailed.
"Sigh! The World Government really does all sorts of evil!" Nami exclaimed. "No wonder so many people become pirates and join the Revolutionary Army led by Luffy's father, Dragon. They brought it on themselves!"
"Torao, what kind of salvation did you get from that Corazon?!" Robin asked curiously.
Then, a shocking scene appeared on the video screen.
Because, since Luo actually attacked and assassinated Corazon.
Unfortunately, Buffalo witnessed this incident.
Although, later, Luo borrowed money from BABY-5 and bribed Buffalo with ice cream.
But fearing Doflamingo's retaliation, Law chose to run away.
However, he was caught and brought back by Jora as soon as he reached the port.
Law thought Doflamingo wanted to settle scores with him for stabbing Corazon, but he was instead told that he had been allowed to join the Donquixote Family.
This greatly surprised Luo, not because Doflamingo allowed him to the Donquixote Family, but because Corazon hadn't told Doflamingo about him stabbing him.
Although Luo was puzzled by this, he wasn't particularly excited about the Donquixote Family. After all, he was already nearing the end of his life, and whether or not Donquixote Family was of no importance to him.
Doflamingo, however, told him that they were an organization engaged in underground transactions, and among the many goods they traded were some special Devil Fruits, among which perhaps the Devil Fruit could cure his illness could be found.
At that moment, Corazon suddenly coughed, Doflamingo noticed that he was injured, asking him who had done it.
Corazon didn't tell him the truth, only saying that it was the enemy who did it, and that he had also killed the enemy, thus getting away with it.
This puzzled Luo even more, but it also made him re-evaluate Corazon.
Thus, Law joined the Donquixote Family and followed them on their journeys, living and training.
And so, Luo and Doflamingo stayed together for two years, and his Amber Lead Syndrome worsened.
That day, Luo and BABY-5 were chatting with Buffalo.
When they kept pressing him for his real name, Luo became very impatient. Finally, under Buffalo's threat, he decided to tell them his real name.
"Trafalgar D. Wattir Rowe," Rowe replied. "I'm different from you all; I use a code name. Saying my real name wouldn't make a difference, would it? 'D' is my secret name, and 'Wattir' is my taboo name. Our family has used it for generations..."
But before he could finish his sentence, BABY-5 said with a bored expression, "What? It's really not fun at all!"
"That's right!" Buffalo chimed in.
Luo glared at them angrily and said, "Then why were you asking me so many questions just now?"
On the screen, curious comments immediately appeared: {D? Another D, what does this hidden name mean?!}
{D? I never expected Trafalgar Law to share the same nickname as the Straw Hat Luffy! Could they be related?!}
{D? What a strange hidden name! Why would such a hidden name exist?!}
{D? God from Beyond the Domain, could you please tell us the secret behind this hidden name?}

"D? I didn't expect you to be a menace to that clan too, Law!" Doflamingo exclaimed. "But you don't actually think you can defeat me with just a pseudonym, do you? How naive!"
Just then, Lao G's voice came from behind him, "Young Master, I've brought King Riku!"
Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
"D? This clan really is a persistent ghost!" said Shepard X. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, the Warrior God of Agriculture, with displeasure.
"After all, that clan's method of inheritance is unique, making it difficult to completely erase them from history," said Topman Saint Warcury Warrior God of Justice, helplessly.
"It seems we'll have to keep a closer eye on Trafalgar Law from now on!" The Warrior God of Finance —Izambaron V. Saint Nusjuro— reminded.
"Yes! Especially since he also possesses the Op-Op Fruit. If necessary, we must prioritize dealing with him and then retrieve the Op-Op Fruit," added the Warrior God of the Environment, Marcus Saint Mars. "After all, that fruit is quite special."
"Speaking of special things, I'm more concerned about another fruit, or rather, another person," said the Warrior God of Science and Defense, Lucy Saint Saturn, with unease. "If that fruit were to Awakening, it would be world-shattering."
"You mean Straw Hat Luffy Luffy?!" The other four elders glanced at him and asked.
"Yes! After all, his fruit bears the name of a god!" The Warrior God of Science and Defense — Lucy Saint Saturn— nodded.
"Should we add him to the priority list too?!" asked Marcus Saint Mars, the Warrior God of the Environment.
"Let's not use it for now! After all, that fruit is too special. Even if we kill Straw Hat Luffy, it will still seek other hosts," analyzed Izabaron V. Saint Nusjuro, the Warrior God of Finance. "We haven't been able to retrieve it for hundreds of years. If it successfully Awakening in another host, it would be a loss for us. It's better to keep it with Straw Hat Luffy, so we can see it and control it."
"Yes! You're right, let's do it your way!" The other four elders nodded and said.
