Birdcage

Inside the Silence Barrier, Law expressed doubt about the Ope Ope no Mi in Rosinante's hands.

"This thing can really cure my illness..."

"Stop talking nonsense and eat it now! Eat it and you'll be cured!"

Without giving Luo a chance to refuse, Rosinante stuffed the fruit directly into Luo's mouth. The extremely unpleasant taste made Luo feel very uncomfortable, and it was so disgusting that he almost choked on it.

"Hmph! Corazon-san, I am not ready to become Ability User... Corazon-san!"

With a thud, Rosinante fell to the ground in the snow. Only then did Trafalgar Law realize that Rosinante had already been shot in the back by a flintlock pistol.

"Calm down, Luo, I just made a little foolish mistake..."

After catching his breath, Rosinante spoke with difficulty.

"Listen carefully, there are two warships around this island. I would like to ask you... please hand this over to the navy below. It may very well save a country Dressrosa."

Rosinante took out the important intelligence he was carrying and handed it to Ro.

"I know you hate the Navy and the government, but this concerns Doflamingo's conspiracy, the safety of a nation. I'm begging you, Law..."

"I need... I need a little time to stop the bleeding. After we escape, let's find a place to live under assumed names, Luo..."

Finally, Luo nodded emphatically and walked slowly down towards the bottom of Minion Island.

On the other hand, Sengoku, who was rushing from the Marine Headquarters toward the transaction, felt a jolt of fear and a vague sense of foreboding.

"What exactly happened?"

On the deck, Borsalino sighed deeply. Why was it always him who got caught instead of Kuzan and Sakazuki when he was trying to take a break?

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Lady Tsuru reports that a huge disturbance has just occurred on Minion Island. It seems that the pirates' stronghold has caught fire, and this transaction is likely..."

Realizing something was wrong, Sengoku's eyes shifted, and he immediately rebuked him.

"Full speed ahead! We absolutely cannot let Uchiha Huayue or Doflamingo get the Devil Fruit! How could this happen?"

Layers of mist shrouded his mind. As Ability User of the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Great Buddha Form, and possessing the wisdom of Buddha, Sengoku pondered for a moment and instantly understood something.

"Rosinante, why? Didn't I tell you never to go near that island? Why... please don't let anything happen to you, Rosinante!"

Bahru bahru bah...

The annoying Den Den Mushi rang again. Borsalino rolled his eyes and slowly answered it.

"Moses... Moses, this is Borsalino, what happened?"

"Reporting to Lieutenant General Borsalino, we have spotted a very strange bird in the sky, and its cry is extremely eerie..."

Sengoku had not yet recovered from his anger, listened intently, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Strange bird? Uchiha Huayue, that guy has already reached the North Blue? What an astonishing speed! Full speed ahead, we must retrieve the Ope Ope no Mi before that guy!"

One warship after another sped forward, and Borsalino shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

"How terrifying! Even if I said I wanted to replace him now, you probably wouldn't agree, Four Emperors."

"Nonsense! If that madman were to gain eternal life, who knows what the world would become? You better be prepared to give your life for justice!"

Sengoku retorted irritably, but the worry in his eyes had not yet dissipated.

"Please, please be alright, Rosinante!"

The scene shifts, Rosinante lies in a pool of blood, while Rosinante is punched in the face and knocked unconscious.

Bahru bahru bah...

"Moses, Moses, Doffy, it's me. Donquixote Rosinante is a Navy spy. He's written down your plan in detail and is going to hand it over to the Navy..."

"As expected, we observed from a distance before arriving at Sparrow Island, but we discovered Crane's warship."

"I never imagined that my adorable little brother was actually a Navy spy. You're the only family I can trust anymore, fufufufu..."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the Donquixote Pirates landed on the island, with Baby 5 holding the Den Den Mushi and a group of family members following behind him.

"Right, the Ope Ope no Mi, the Ope Ope no Mi must still be with them and Law. Bring them to me..."

"I'll beat these guys to a pulp in no time, they definitely won't..."

Vergo looked back, only to find that there was no one else on the snow except for a patch of blood.

"These guys!"

Seemingly noticing Vergo's tone, Doflamingo gave a wry smile.

"They escaped? It doesn't matter. As long as they don't escape this island, they'll never have a chance to leave, fufufufufu..."

Click!

The Den Den Mushi ended, Doflamingo looked up at the sky. He drew a line with his fingers, and pure white threads shot into the sky, scattering around Minion Island and completely sealing off the entire island.

"Birdcage."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the threads fell to the ground, splashing up countless White Mist and snowflakes. Drake, who was fleeing in the chaos, glanced back and saw his companions trapped in the Birdcage pleading for help.

"Drake, save us! Save us!"

"Damn it, what kind of silk thread is this? It's not only hard, but also incredibly sharp!"

"Aren't we trapped here? Help me, Drake, help me!!!"

However, when his companions cried for help, Drake turned and ran away, showing no intention of taking the opportunity to save them.

Inside the Birdcage, carrying Rosinandi on his back, he walked to a secluded corner in the snowfield. Rosinante struggled to look up, gazing at the Birdcage in the sky, knowing he was doomed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Corazon-san, I'm so sorry!"

Tears streamed down Law's face as he apologized profusely, acknowledging that his momentary cowardice had led him to hand over crucial intelligence to Vergo Doflamingo's mole within the Navy, which had exacerbated Corazon's injuries.

"It's alright, this has nothing to do with you. I never expected that Vergo, who had been missing for so long, would be sent to the Navy by Doflamingo as an undercover agent. Have a laugh, Law."

The next moment, a silly grin appeared in Rosinante's eyes. Despite knowing he was doomed, Rosinante still wore that smile...

"At the very least, let his last glance at me be a smile!"

Minion Island, a pirate stronghold ablaze.

"Donquixote Doflamingo, it was your Donquixote Family that stole my Ope Ope no Mi, wasn't it!"

Unable to contain his anger, Diaz Barrelus questioned loudly.

"If that's really the case, it saves me a lot of effort. I'm incredibly angry right now, hehehe..."

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
