Celestial Dragons Who Didn't Even Qualify as Livestock?
Red Hair was secretly horrified. Didn't he see that Doflamingo was so shocked that he couldn't speak? Yet Nightmare was completely unmoved, even chatting and laughing with him about the future developments. This kind of mentality and willpower was something Doflamingo couldn't compare to. No wonder this guy was able to destroy the Four Emperors in one fell swoop and usher in a new era!
"Phew, you really do see things more clearly than anyone else. That's right, I represent the will of the Five Elders, and I also inherit Captain Roger's will. On this point, their goals are surprisingly aligned."
"Hmm? Roger also knew about that person, did he find out in Laugh Tale, or... is it because of his bloodline originating from the 'D' clan..."
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you! Indeed, Captain Roger is a descendant of another leader of the 'D' clan 800 years ago, and also one of the few members of the 'D' clan who truly possesses the ability to revive the Uranus."
"In fact, after 800 years, Captain Roger's family had long since declined and left very few records about the 'D' family. Perhaps this was a kind of protection that their ancestors would give to their descendants, after all, such a belief was just too heavy!"
"But Captain Roger was different. Like his ancestors, he possessed the ability to Listen to the Voice of All Things. Among those scattered inheritances, he discovered many ancient 'legends.' In order to investigate the truth or falsehood of those 'legends,' he was driven to the sea, and thus began... a legend!"
"In the process of constantly collecting and deciphering the Poneglyph, Captain Roger had already made a general guess about that blank period of history. It wasn't until he boarded Laugh Tale that all the mysteries were finally revealed."
"The one who led the mastermind behind the scenes to join the 'D' clan, and even prepared him to become the next leader of the 'D' clan, was none other than Captain Roger's ancestor."
"Therefore, after all those things happened later, Captain Roger's ancestor was deeply filled with regret and guilt, believing that everything was his fault, and led the various tribes who were still willing to believe in him to continue fighting. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed, suffered a complete defeat, and had no chance of starting over!"
Hearing this, Roy recalled the apology letter he had seen on Fish-Man Island. Could it be that the people Red Hair mentioned who were still willing to believe in the "D" clan were referring to the Merfolk? Because of the ultimate defeat of the "D" clan, the Merfolk were forced to hide in the dark depths of the sea to avoid being hunted down. That's why the "D" clan promised to bring them back into the sunlight.
The signature JOYBOY on the apology letter, meaning "happy boy," perfectly fits the meaning of the "D" clan. As for whether JOYBOY refers to Roger's ancestor or the entire "D" clan, Roy didn't care.
"Captain Roger naturally hoped to carry on his ancestors' wishes and drive that madman who wanted to become a god off the King of the World. Unfortunately, he was already seriously ill and had no strength to continue the journey again. He could only choose to use his life to start a new era."
"Admittedly, this so-called Great Pirate Era is not a good thing, and is even more cold-blooded and cruel, but at least it brings a glimmer of hope to this numb world. Only by experiencing despair and destruction can we achieve rebirth and new life!"
"Captain Roger took all the sins upon himself and left the glory to the next Pirate Kings."
"I never imagined... that the legendary Pirate King Roger was such a person. Perhaps no one in this world has ever truly understood him!" Roy exclaimed.
"And the Five Elders are the same. On the surface, they submit to that man, but in reality, they are plotting to overthrow his rule. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spared me. After all, those proud Celestial Dragons wouldn't allow someone like me, who has tainted the bloodline of the gods, to live!" Red Hair said self-deprecatingly.
"The Five Elders ...this is getting more and more interesting!" Roy laughed.
Doflamingo had already retreated to a corner and was drawing circles on the wall, looking utterly devastated.
"The betrayal of the Five Elders can be traced back to the choice that person made back then. He sealed the origin of the world within his body, which granted him immense power and near-eternal life, but this came at a price. In the struggle against the World Will, he had to remain in a state of slumber for a long time."
"Actually, he wasn't worried about his subordinates' betrayal. Because, having sealed the world's origin within his body, he had, in a sense, transcended the realm of humanity. Even Sea Stone bane of all Devil Fruit users, was of little use to him. In fact, even if he simply let others attack him without any resistance, it wouldn't have any effect on him. That was a truly immortal body, even more terrifying than Kaido's!"
"For that person, the only thing in this world that could hurt him was Uranus. Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear to give up Uranus's power, or perhaps it was because he couldn't destroy Uranus either. In any case, he ultimately chose to erase that history and secretly spread rumors that Uranus was a treasure shared by all Celestial Dragons, and that the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons was the key to unlocking Uranus!"
"To make this rumor more believable, every time he uses the Uranus, he secretly sacrifices a portion of the Celestial Dragons. And through some 'accidental' means, a small portion of this news leaks to the outside world. The unstable elements among those Celestial Dragons will then discover the secret by following the route he has already set..."
"Then those Celestial Dragons will plot to seize Uranus, only to find out in the end that it was all a deception..." Doflamingo's face was gloomy, because he was the kind of unstable element that Red Hair was talking about. He thought he had discovered the biggest secret in the world, but he didn't expect that he had been kept in the dark all along, and even sent step by step into the enemy's mouth.
"That's right, the final result is that all the unstable elements are eliminated, and the Holy Land can continue to maintain a facade of peace..."
Red Hair chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Haha, isn't it ridiculous? The Celestial Dragons, supposedly descendants of gods, aren't even pigs; they're just a facade used by others to deceive people!"
Doflamingo couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't he completely destroy Roger's clan? If that clan were destroyed, he would be the only person left in the world who could revive the Uranus. There's no need to play with those Celestial Dragons like this!"
"As I said before, the 'D' clan is actually a huge alliance of forces, and there are quite a few of their bloodlines. However, there is only one 'D' clan that can truly revive the Uranus. Finding the real 'D' clan member Vice Admiral such a vast population is an impossible task. Moreover, that person doesn't trust his subordinates, fearing that the Celestial Dragons might secretly leave behind 'D' clan blood when they take action. Therefore, he adopted this seemingly safest method!"
