The D. Clan-The Enemy of the Gods and Its Impact
On the other side, in the video footage, after hearing Luo's words, Corazon suddenly came up behind him, picked him up, and walked into a small alley in the distance before throwing him to the ground.
Luo thought Corazon was about to attack him again, so he immediately clenched his fists and looked at him warily.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from inside the alley, "Is everything you just said true?!"
These words immediately piqued Luo's curiosity, and he kept looking around, trying to find the source of the sound.
The next second, the voice rang out again, "If your hidden name is indeed D, then you must leave immediately and stay away from Dover."
Under Luo's astonished gaze, Corazon turned around, shouted at him, "Luo, you absolutely cannot stay by his side!"
"Why? Why can you suddenly talk?!" Luo asked, puzzled.
"I've always been able to speak." Corazon found a step and started walking up, smoking as he spoke.
"So you've been deceiving Doflamingo and the others all along?" Law asked in surprise.
"I never said I was mute!" Corazon explained. "That's their own conclusion."
"Nonsense! How is that any different from lying!" Luo naturally didn't believe Corazon's explanation and shouted, "What are you thinking?"
"Hey, hey, hey..." Corazon interrupted, "Don't be so loud."
He snapped his fingers, "Silence."
The next second, an invisible barrier spread outwards, and the once noisy street instantly became silent.
Luo stared at the scene in disbelief and asked, "What... what's going on? Why have all the sounds on the street disappeared?!"
"You shout too much! So I built a wall— Silence Wall —to block out all the sound," Corazon explained. "You can't hear anything outside from here, and people outside can't hear us either."
"Could it be..." Luo suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You are..."
"That's right, I am the Silent One who ate the Calm-Calm Fruit," Corazon said.
The next second, his character profile was updated again. "The highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, Doflamingo's younger brother, the Second Corazon, Devil Fruit User — Rosinante."
On the screen, a barrage of sarcastic comments immediately appeared: {Wait, what's the use of this fruit? It looks so useless!}
This is the first time I've seen such a boring fruit; it doesn't provide any boost to combat power whatsoever!
This fruit is perfect for sleeping, so you won't be disturbed at all! Besides that, I can't think of any other use for it.
Anyone who eats this fruit is incredibly unlucky! They gain a useless and worthless Devil Fruit ability and become unable to swim—a double loss!

At this point in the video, after hearing Corazon's words, Luo immediately remembered something else and asked him if all the stupid things he usually did were just an act.
Corazon proudly replied, "Of course, otherwise how could I have fooled Doflamingo and the others?"
To everyone's surprise, the cigarette in his hand ignited his feather coat the next second.
This immediately drew criticism from Law, who then asked him, puzzled, why he would deceive Doflamingo and the others, who were his comrades.
Corazon, however, told him that he had never considered Doflamingo and the others as partners. He was merely acting as a younger brother to stop his Doflamingo from going out of control, because Doflamingo was not human at all, but a demon. He and the other three top executives, as well as the former Heart— Vergo, all knew about Doflamingo's brutal nature.
Upon hearing that there was someone in the family he had never met before, Luo quickly asked who Vergo was.
Corazon, however, told him that he didn't need to know who Vergo was, because he and Vergo would never cross paths. He had been sent by Doflamingo on a secret mission, the contents of which were unknown even to him, one of his own.
Then, Corazon looked at Law and earnestly said, "In short, never become a monster like my older brother, Law. You'd better leave now!"
"I won't leave! I want to become a monster like that too!" Luo said willfully.
"In that case," Corazon sighed, "Your pseudonym is D, isn't it!"
"What's wrong?" Luo asked, looking at him with confusion.
"You are a member of the fateful D. Clan," Corazon explained. "In my hometown, the elders often scare children like this: disobedient children will be eaten by the D. At the same time, when faced with those who one after another make a name for themselves in the world with the name of the D, they will frown and mutter under their breath, 'The D will surely stir up trouble again.'"
"Hey! What are you trying to say? Why are you making me sound like a monster!" Luo said unhappily.
"Perhaps!" Corazon took a drag of his cigarette, seemingly calm but with a weight on his shoulders, and said, "Although no one knows the secret behind D, it is indeed a name that has been passed down through generations throughout the history of the world."
"On a certain continent, some people refer to the D. Clan as— the Enemy of the Gods."
Rodon was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes fixed on Corazon, and he stammered, "God?!"
"Hmm!" Corazon nodded slightly and said, "If 'god' refers to the Celestial Dragons, then the goal of your D. Clan might be to destroy this world. However, it should be different from the 'destruction' pursued by Doflamingo. The D clan should have the will to fight against the gods."
Upon hearing this, Luo was so shocked that he was speechless.
On the screen, a similarly surprised comment appeared: {D... The D. Clan is the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons? Is this true... or false?!}
{Holy crap! If that's the case, then the D. Clan decides whether the world is in chaos or not?!}
{Are the D. Clan the Enemy of the Gods? No wonder Dragon and Straw Hat Luffy caused such a commotion. But why did Garp join the World Government? Isn't he the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons? How did he become a Marine?! That's so strange!}
What does it mean that the D. Clan will destroy this world? Does it mean they will destroy the world created by the Celestial Dragons, or will they destroy the entire world? Are the D. Clan good or bad?!

The Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, and the Shakky's Rip-off Bar of Shakky.
"Enemy of the Gods? That's quite a label! If Roger heard this, he'd probably have plenty to brag about for a long time!" Rayleigh swirled his wine glass and chuckled. "However, in a sense, that guy does deserve the title, albeit only half of it."
The New World, Moby Dick.
"Gurararara, the Enemy of the Gods? The D. Clan's experiences certainly live up to that title!" Whitebeard agreed, sipping his drink.
The next second, a crew member's voice came from below, "Pops, some of the captains and captains have arrived!"
New World, Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.
"Mama, the Enemy of the Gods? That's an exaggeration! If the D. Clan were truly the Enemy of the Gods, then Roger would have overthrown the Celestial Dragons' rule long ago! How could Garp have become the World Government's dog! It's laughable!" Big Mom scoffed.
Just then, a report came from outside, "Mother, Lord Perospero is back! However, it seems he didn't bring Caesar back, and he's injured."
"What?!"
The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Oh ho ho ho, the Celestial Dragons' natural enemy? The D. Clan? King, the man I've been searching for named— Joy Boy, could he also be in this clan?!" Kaido said thoughtfully. "If he really is, then the guy who can defeat me in the future should also be among them!"
The New World, Red Force.
"The Enemy of the Gods? The D. Clan certainly possesses that kind of magic, but their target isn't just the Celestial Dragons, but all 'gods'!" Shanks said meaningfully.
The New World, Egghead.
"The D. Clan? Then could the person Kuma has been searching for be you?!" Vegapunk exclaimed expectantly. "Straw Hat Luffy — Monkey D. Luffy, I really want to meet you!"
The Grand Line, White Soil Island.
"The Celestial Dragons' natural enemy? The D. Clan is too powerful!"
"Yes! I remember the leader and his son both had a 'D' in their names, so they must be from the D. Clan!"
"Could the person from the D. Clan who will lead us to destroy the Celestial Dragons' rule be the leader?!"
"If that's the case, then our chances of success have increased significantly!"
That's exactly what I'm saying!
"..."
"..."
Hearing his subordinates discussing his membership in the D. Clan, Long coughed a few times, interrupting them, "Gentlemen, the D. Clan certainly carries a unique aura, but I hope you won't place all your hopes on such an ethereal thing. We should be grounded and execute our own action plan to achieve our goals. Do you understand?!"
"Understood, Chief." The subordinates immediately snapped out of their daze, nodded to Long, and said...
"That's good." Long nodded with relief, then looked up at the sky and murmured, "The Enemy of the Gods? They really overestimated the D. Clan! How could we have come so far without the support of others!"
On a ship in a certain sea area Grand Line.
"The D. Clan, huh? Luffy, Ace, your clan's history is truly fascinating!" Sabo said thoughtfully.
The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford, inside a prison cell.
"Hey! Old man, is the D. Clan really the Enemy of the Gods?" Ace asked Garp at the other end of the cell.
"I already told you! You have to call me Grandpa." Garp glared at him and said, "You actually believe this kind of fabricated rumor?!"
"That's true. If you were truly the Enemy of the Gods, you wouldn't have been able to join the Navy!" Ace chuckled and said, "However, Luffy and I have indeed caused the World Government a lot of trouble, don't you think, old man?"
"You're kidding me! I already told you to call me grandpa." Garp rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm leaving! If there's anything you want, just tell the Marines outside. I've already told them everything!"
With that, he turned and walked outside.
"Hey! Grandpa... where 'Jinbe locked up?!" Ace called out to him, asking...
"Don't worry, he's being held in another place, he's perfectly safe," Garp said, waving his hand.
The next second, he disappeared from Ace's sight.
"Thank you, old man," Ace said gratefully.
Not far away, Garp's disgruntled voice rang out, "I already told you! Call me grandpa."
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and murmured, "The Enemy of the Gods? When will that person appear?!"
On a warship in the waters near the Gate of Justice, leading to Impel Down prison.
"Captain, I never imagined you were actually the Enemy of the Gods?!" Van Augur exclaimed in surprise.
"Hahaha, looks like we've got a great captain on our team!" Jesus Burgess laughed loudly.
"Of course! Captain's ambitions shouldn't be limited to the mere prospect of becoming one of the Four Emperors. You have even greater ambitions, don't you, Captain?" Lafitte asked curiously.
"Hahaha, Lafitte, of course I have it! But now's not the time to tell you. Once I've gathered everyone, I'll reveal my true purpose." Blackbeard laughed loudly. "Now let's head towards Impel Down Impel Down! It's time to find our comrades!"
The Grand Line, Alabasta Kingdom, inside the Royal Palace.
"The Enemy of the Gods? Ancestor, is this why you were unwilling to go to Mary Geoise?!" Cobra said thoughtfully.
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the Thousand Sunny.
"Enemy of the Gods?" Usopp scrutinized Luffy for a Luffy, then sighed and said, "It shouldn't be you, kid."
"Huh?! What do you mean by that?! Usopp." Luffy didn't understand what he was talking about, but for some reason, he felt very annoyed and asked.
"I'm telling you, you're definitely not some so-called Enemy of the Gods. You can't even be a good captain, how could you possibly be the one to destroy the Celestial Dragons!" Usopp explained.
"Usopp, who are you calling a bad captain?!" Luffy retorted, "I'm a very competent captain."
Luffy directly ignored Usopp's words about the Enemy of the Gods and focused on the issue of being the captain.
"You're not doing your job properly! What kind of captain would casually put the lives of his crew in danger?" Usopp shouted.
"And they spend money like crazy," Nami chimed in.
"Not only that, they also randomly rummage through things to eat," Sanji added.
"You guys..." Luffy's face turned purple with anger, and he turned to seek help from the others on the ship.
The next second, Robin came into his view. He was about to call out to her, but Robin ignored him.
She walked to the side, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and muttered to herself, "The D. Clan? Could it be related to the Void Century? If so, what exactly is their relationship?!"
This greatly upset Luffy. Just then, Chopper came into his view. He was about to say something when he heard Chopper shout, "Hey! Mina, look! That little kid Torao is going to tell Doflamingo that Corazon can talk!"
"What?!"
