One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 331 Brothers Reunited! Rosinandi in Despair!
North Sea.

On the coast of the island where the Drake Pirates were based.

The entire pirate crew had been captured, and all of them were forced to wear shackles and were pushed onto the large ship by heavily armed fishman warriors.

Drake and Rosinante were carried onto the ship by the Calamity Knight, one in each hand.

They were also shackled, and made of sea stone. Both of them were thrown into the prison at the bottom of the ship, their bodies weak and sore.

Not only that, the Calamity Knight just sat outside the prison, quietly watching them.

Does Doflamingo really care that much about himself?

Rosinandi, feeling weak and powerless, could only lean against the wall and slump on the ground. He weakly looked up at the Calamity Knight staring straight at him and couldn't help but think this.

Next, they will be taken to the nearest Cataclysmic Company pirate base, where they will quietly wait for his older brother to arrive!
Yes, Doflamingo is coming!
After receiving the news, that guy immediately called to say he was already there.

To be honest, Rosinandi can't even remember how many years ago they last met.

If it weren't for that bastard brother's photos frequently appearing in the newspapers, Rosinante would have long forgotten what he even looked like.

He only remembered that he was already in hell, but his brother kicked him into an even deeper purgatory.

After that day, he truly had nothing left.

However, this time it's not about revenge, Doflamingo.

It wasn't to avenge his father, nor to avenge himself when he was wandering in Beihai and barely survived.

It was to save the world, to save this already terrible world, but at least there was still hope!
Drake, in the next cell, also remained silent.

The rest is up to Rosinandi.

However, whether he succeeds or fails, he will face it together with his friends!
On a certain part of the sky, on a space warship that was hurrying toward this sea area.

“咈咈咈!”

Doflamingo sat on the ship's railing like a thug, a strange smile on his face. "Family, what a distant word. Is that Rosinante kid still alive?"

"You won't go easy on them just because they're your family, will you?"

Beside him, Redfield, sitting calmly in a sun lounger, sipping a glass of red wine, spoke with great interest.

"Fufufufu, family is definitely different, right?"

Doflamingo couldn't help but burst into laughter. "But if it's just blood ties, then you can't call them family!"

"True family, true relatives, are those who are united and moving towards the same goal, right?"

"Fufufufu, if what Boss says is true, that guy came with malicious intent, then he's no longer my family!"

"What a realistic guy."

Redfield chuckled. "You two are brothers who share the same blood."

"Fufufufu, bro?"

Doflamingo suddenly spread his hands, grinning, and said, "What are brothers? The missions assigned by the Boss are the most important!"

"However, Mr. Ryder, this time we're counting on you."

Almost simultaneously, in the sky above this world, inside the airship where the World Government was located.

Still shrouded in a long black robe, Im sat high on his throne. The world king, who had lost half of his territory, was caressing a Devil Fruit with his hands, which were also covered by the wide black robe.

"Lord Im,"

Kneeling beneath the throne was an old man, now one of the Three Elders. The Great Boar Volchuli respectfully spoke, "The Navy has already taken action."

"Donquixote Rosinante, Doflamingo's brother, is still alive. He was adopted by Sengoku and has now been sent back to the North Blue. He will try to join the Calamity Company and gain Doflamingo's trust!"

"If the operation goes smoothly, we might be able to find out where Roya is soon!"

"Don Quixote—"

Im's indistinct voice echoed in the vast space, "Wouldn't it be an interesting drama if the older brother became a pirate and the younger brother became a marine?"

It certainly has a lot of dramatic conflict.

But now, we should sincerely hope that Rosinandi's operation goes smoothly.

Such a thought flashed through Volcholi's mind for a moment.

But it was only for a moment. Facing the great Lord Im, he didn't even dare to grumble in his heart for a second longer.

“Vocali,”

The King of the World spoke slowly, raising the fruit in his hand, "This Devil Fruit, passed down through generations of the giants and obtained from Elbaf, whom do you think should be given to?"

"this--"

Vochuli was taken aback.

Although the government had no idea about the origin of the fruit before, they only knew that it was a Devil Fruit passed down through generations of giants and given a legendary name.

However, even Lord Im was greatly astonished after learning the name of the fruit from Harald and attached great importance to it.

"This is a matter that only you have the authority to decide; your subordinate dares not say more."

Vochuli lowered his head deeply, not daring to express his opinion.

This fruit is simply too important and too powerful; it is not something that just anyone is qualified to eat.

"..."

Im remained silent and slowly put the fruit back.

The current world government indeed cannot find anyone qualified to eat this Devil Fruit.

Shortly after that, in the North Sea, at a pirate base belonging to the Disaster Company.

In the dimly lit prison cell, Rosinandi hung his head.

I've been here for several days now. Given the speed of the spaceships from the Disaster Company, Doflamingo should be here soon.

For the past few days, Rosinandi has been rehearsing in his mind.

After meeting Doflamingo, how can I gain that man's trust?

This is the most important part of this mission.

To completely defeat the Calamity Corporation and crush the Evil Legion led by Roya, simply possessing great power is not enough.

Roya is very cunning. They have been floating in the sky somewhere in the world, and since they can't be found, there's no way they can win.

As far as Rosinante knew, the battle twenty years ago when the pirate alliance seized the New World was because Roja used this tactic, leaving the government and the Navy helpless. Instead, he took the opportunity to destroy the original Navy headquarters.

Twenty years ago, the government was helpless, and the current government is still helpless.

However, unlike before, the government can now also hide and play hide-and-seek with Roya. Whoever's whereabouts are revealed first, and whoever is found by the other first, will be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Rosinandi's mission this time can be considered the key to victory!

If we can find the exact whereabouts of Roya and the others, then we will have already taken a big step towards victory!
Rosinandi was deep in thought.

It's been so many years since I've seen Doflamingo. Based solely on my childhood memories and snippets of information from the newspapers, it's impossible to determine his current personality.

Gaining his trust without arousing his suspicion, and then getting him to take you to the City of Calamity, is no easy task.

Rosinante thought to himself.

That's the time.

boom!
With a muffled thud, the prison door was kicked open.

“咈咈咈!”

A wild laugh suddenly rang out, "Rosinandi, my dear little brother, it's been so many years, I've missed you terribly!"

Upon hearing the laughter, both Rosinandi and Drake in the prison cell narrowed their eyes simultaneously.

coming! !
Finally started!

They both took a deep breath at the same time.

Their next move, or more precisely, Rosinandi's move, will greatly influence the course of the world!

Rosinante, weakened by the sea stone, finally saw his brother through the gap in the invigilator's railing and recognized him after many years!
He was tall, with blond hair styled with a lot of hair wax sticking straight up, wearing sunglasses on his nose, and dressed in a burgundy suit with a feather cloak over it.

He exuded an imposing aura.

Doflamingo!!

The moment Rosinandi saw the man clearly, he instinctively clenched his teeth.

Although he said it wasn't for revenge, when he actually saw the murderer who killed his father, Rosinante's anger still surged up after many years!

Then, in the next instant, all the anger cooled down.

Because Rosinante saw the figure walking casually behind Doflamingo.

Drake, in the next cell, also had his pupils shrink.

Baloric Redfield!
Why is this monster here?
Neither Drake nor Rosinandi could understand it at this point.

If it was just to see Doflamingo's brother, then why would the monster Red Count come here?

Even looking at the entire pirate alliance, this man is a truly top-tier monster besides Roja. There's absolutely no reason for him to be here!
“咈咈咈!”

Doflamingo arrived at the cell where Rosinante was located. Without needing a key, he activated his Fusion Fruit ability, and a purple aura spread out. With a loud bang, the cell door was ripped open.

Rosinandi watched as his brother swaggered in with an arrogant, pigeon-toed gait, his eyes already fixed on him with great interest.

"Rosinante, you're really heartless. If you're still alive, why didn't you contact me?"

Doflamingo feigned a sigh and said, "If I had known I still had a relative in this world, I wouldn't have been so lonely all these years."

Rosinante's face instantly turned furious. "Shut up, Doflamingo! I will never forget what happened that day! You killed my father with your own hands, and you still have the audacity to talk about family here!"

At this point, Rosinandi was no longer able to tell whether his anger was genuine or feigned.

However, he knew that he couldn't reveal from the beginning that he had come to join Doflamingo's cause.

“咈咈咈!”

Doflamingo looked at his furious brother and his smile widened. "You should say we're brothers, that day was one I'll never forget!"

"Hmph! Looking back now, I guess I should really thank that bastard father! If he hadn't taken us down from Mary Geoise and made us stray dogs on the street, I wouldn't have met the Boss, and I wouldn't be who I am today!"

Looking back now, if I hadn't left Mary Geoise so early, I probably would have died in the Mary Geoise incident more than a year ago.

"Shut up! Doflamingo!!"

Rosinandi nearly roared, "You bastard! Isn't this all your own fault? Because of you, our identities were exposed; because of you, Mother fell ill and died; because of you, all this misfortune has followed!"

Back then, after my father brought his family back to the North Blue, although they had lost their Celestial Dragon status, the government still took good care of them.

Although it was a non-member state, it was able to live a relatively stable life thanks to the wealth they brought from Mary Geoise.

Because of Doflamingo, because of this bastard who had the Celestial Dragons' habits ingrained in his bones, their identities were quickly exposed, and then all the disasters followed.

Rosinandi's fierce attitude made Drake, who was in the cell next to him, grit his teeth.

Isn't this over the top, Rosinante?!

What should I do if I really anger this man?
Ultimately, can simple familial affection really bind this monster who has followed Roya since childhood?
"Fufufufu! So that's how it is?"

Doflamingo chuckled maniacally, "It's been so long, I'd completely forgotten about it!"

“To remain trapped in memories is not the spirit of a true man. Now that the sun has risen, forget everything, Rosinante!”

"..."

Rosinante's chest heaved violently, as if he wanted nothing more than to bite Doflamingo's throat off.

"I won't waste any more words, Doflamingo,"

Rosinandi took a deep breath, looking like he was being forced into a corner. "If you remember that you once had a younger brother, if you haven't forgotten the years we spent together, then promise me one thing."

"Please, I'm begging you, don't hurt my companions!"

Doflamingo's laughter didn't diminish. "Still as kind as when you were a kid, Rosinante. But don't worry, my little brother, as long as you don't refuse Boss's invitation and obediently join our ranks, you'll be fine."

Rosinandi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, this way I can easily infiltrate the Disaster Company.

Next, all we need to do is figure out how to gain Doflamingo's trust!
"But,"

Doflamingo suddenly grinned, "Before that, there is one last inspection step."

test?
Rosinante looked up at Doflamingo with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Then he saw Redfield, who had been quietly following behind Doflamingo without saying a word, suddenly step forward.

Ryder walked up to Rosinante, bent down, and placed his hand on Rosinante's head.

What is this doing?
Rosinandi was somewhat bewildered, but almost subconsciously, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

"I see,"

Redfield nodded knowingly. "Was it Sengoku who sent you?"

Both Rosinandi and Drake's pupils constricted simultaneously.

Is this what despair feels like?
