On the sky screen, everyone was very curious about how Trafalgar Law managed to escape the pursuit of Doflamingo and his crew.
Meanwhile, in the video, to ensure Law's escape, Corazon actively revealed himself and confronted Doflamingo and the others.
〖To protect Law, the severely wounded Corazon faced Doflamingo once more.
Unsurprisingly, he was brutally beaten and lay powerless on the ground.
Doflamingo looked down at him and said mockingly,
"My dear brother Corazon, it's been a long time. I've missed you."
Corazon remained completely unmoved by Doflamingo's words.
Instead, gritting through the pain, he pulled out a gun from his coat and aimed it at Doflamingo.
"Marineford, Code 01746. Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander Rosinante."
Corazon—no, Rosinante—clearly stated his identity word by word. Then, meeting Doflamingo's furious gaze, he continued,
"Of the Donquixote Family, Donquixote Doflamingo. I came here infiltrating as a Marine, precisely to stop the tragedies you cause."
After Rosinante finished speaking, Doflamingo didn't say much.
However, the veins bulging on his forehead revealed the depth of his rage.
Suddenly, Rosinante apologized, "I'm really sorry. I lied. But I truly didn't want to become someone you hate."
Hearing this, Gladius, standing nearby, thought Rosinante was begging for his life and loudly mocked him.
"You bastard! Do you think apologizing at this point will save your life? How naive!"
The other members of the Donquixote Family nodded in agreement. What they didn't know was that Rosinante's words weren't meant for them.
He said this to apologize to Law, who was hiding in a crate behind him, before he died.
However, Doflamingo's crew, unaware of this, began pressuring Rosinante to reveal the whereabouts of the Op-Op Fruit.
Hearing their question, Rosinante grinned. "Doflamingo, you're too late. The Op-Op Fruit you wanted... I already had Law eat it. His illness is cured now, and he's under Marine protection. This time, I won."
After he spoke, Buffalo and Baby 5 reported the news they had heard from the Marines—that the Marines seemed to have indeed taken in a young boy.
Hearing this, Rosinante felt a surge of excitement. After so much misfortune, Lady Luck had finally smiled upon him once.
With this news as corroboration, the chances of Law being discovered by Doflamingo were much smaller.
Therefore, even when Doflamingo drew his pistol to kill him, Rosinante was no longer afraid or worried.
He cried out, "Give it up, Doffy! Law will never be at your mercy! That guy... he has already overcome the fate of certain death in three years! He is no longer the lost Law who wanted to rush into the arms of a mad pirate! Now... he is free!"
As these words left Rosinante's mouth, bullets fired by Doflamingo pierced his body one after another.
Finally, he fell. His blood stained a large patch of the snowy ground red.
But he knew he couldn't die just yet. He had to maintain the silence field from his Nagi Nagi no Mi ability around Law, buying him even one more second to escape.
In the end, amidst Law's heart-wrenching sobs, the Marine spy, Code 01746, Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander Rosinante, closed his eyes and left this world.〗
[Franky: Rosinante... what a remarkable man! It's so moving... Waaaaahhhhhh...!]
[Capone Bege: Who would have thought Corazon was actually a Marine spy? Truly unbelievable.]
[Jewelry Bonney: I never would have imagined Corazon and Doflamingo were twin brothers. They are completely different people.]
[Civilian 1: Damn it! Rosinante was such a kind person. Is this really 'no good deed goes unpunished'? He left the world just like that.]
[Pirate 2: But that Doflamingo... he could even kill his own brother. He's like a demon from hell.]
[Pirate 3: I wonder what kind of family could produce two brothers with such completely different personalities.]
[Urouge the Monk: Just as I guessed. The reason Trafalgar Law hates Doflamingo so much is because he killed Corazon, an elder Law deeply respected.]
[Eustass Kid: So that's why he allied with Straw Hat to take down Doflamingo—to get revenge for Corazon.]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Sniff... Torao, I never knew you had a past like this... I've decided! I'll join forces with you to take down Doflamingo together!]
[Nami: You need to calm down first, Luffy!]

Heart Pirates
Bepo, after watching the story of Law and Rosinante, wiped his tears, deeply moved.
"Mr. Corazon... was such a good person... Wuwuwu..."
Beside him, Law, watching the image of Rosinante falling in the snow on the screen, clenched his fists.
"Mr. Corazon... I will definitely avenge you. And... I will do everything in my power to bring you back to life."
…
Sengoku, who was fishing by the seaside, also watched the footage. Seeing Rosinante being killed so brutally, he tightened his grip on his fishing rod.
"I always wanted to find out who hurt you... So it was Doflamingo. Rosinante... I never thought I'd see you again this way. As your father... I miss you so much."
Sengoku whispered these words. In contrast, a sudden burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from him, surging across the sea surface and knocking out numerous fish, which floated up belly-up.
Then, Sengoku stood up, put away his fishing rod, and walked away into the distance.
No one knew where he was going. Only he himself knew.
…
On the sky screen, many expressed their respect for Corazon's death.
The video perspective then shifted back to Dressrosa, two years later.
Luffy and Law were now in the midst of their battle against Doflamingo.
