Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, now the other party is a rookie pirate who has been in the business for less than two years. He actually dares to steal their spoils in front of the Donquixote Family as if no one else is there. How can the young master tolerate this?

"As previously agreed, you can take the five billion Berries with you, but Trafalgar Law must stay."

Doflamingo forcibly shifted his gaze from Bailey to Wood, so that he wouldn't feel so much pain.

"Your birdcage is still here, and besides me and Rosinante, everyone else on the island is from your Don Quixote family. I shouldn't need to help you find it, right?"

In the following time, Doflamingo did not arrange for the Donquixote Family members to split up and search for Corazon and his group. Instead, he waited quietly for Corazon and his group to appear in the very center of the "Birdcage".

It would be fine to have the Donquixote Family members split up to find Corazon and the others, but Doflamingo was worried that this was another of Wood's schemes.

After the previous battle, he now felt extremely unsafe being alone with Wood.

What if the Don Quixote family splits up to search for someone, and then Wood manages to defeat them separately?

As time goes by, the birdcage is constantly shrinking, and the area available for movement on the island is becoming less and less.

Corazon's "Silence-Silence Fruit" ability is absolutely invincible when used for hide-and-seek, since it can eliminate all movement. Even strong people will not be able to detect his presence if they are not paying close attention.

However, even if Corazon and his men are very good at hiding, it's a different story if their activity area is restricted.

Given Corazon and his companions' strength, they were simply unable to force their way through the birdcage. As the birdcage continued to shrink, it was inevitable that Corazon and his companions would eventually be discovered.

When Pica carried Corazon and Law to Doflamingo, one in each hand, all the Donquixote Family executives glared angrily at Corazon.

Just as Doflamingo valued the Donquixote Family, the Donquixote Family's executives also deeply admired and trusted their young master.

Corazon's betrayal was absolutely unacceptable to them.

As Pica threw Corazon down, Vergo, one of the Donquixote Family executives, used the Six Powers: Shave to vanish from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, Vergo was already in front of Corazon, holding a bamboo stick covered in Armament Haki, attempting to pierce Corazon's head with a single blow.

Corazon refers to Don Quixote's "heart" officer, and Vergo is the first Corazon (heart) of the Don Quixote family, while Rosinante is only the second generation.

Vergo could not tolerate the presence of a traitor like Rosinandi within the "Hearts" team he had once led.

So before Doflamingo could even speak, Corazon had already taken action, intending to clean house.

However, while Vergo was fast, someone was even faster than him!

Just as Vergo, known as "Demon Bamboo," was about to pierce Rosinante's head with bamboo covered in Armament Haki, a tremendous impact struck Vergo's chest, instantly sending him flying.

Vergo's "Armament Haki" is very strong; he is one of the few beings who can use Armament Haki to coat his entire body.

However, even though Vergo used Armament Haki at the last second, his body was still inevitably kicked dozens of kilometers away!

And when he got up again, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Rossinandi is now one of my spoils of war, which was agreed upon by your young master beforehand."

"You want to harm my people? Did you ask me first?"

Upon seeing Wood suddenly attack, Pica and the other members of the Don Quixote family immediately surrounded him.

Although Doflamingo's forehead veins were bulging, he still managed to calm his subordinates down.

Vergo was one of the most powerful members of Don Quixote's crew.

Although Wood's attack was largely a sneak attack, the fact that he could kick Vergo until he vomited blood is enough to prove that once a fight breaks out, Don Quixote's ordinary subordinates would probably be no match for Wood.

"Mr. Doflamingo, it seems your subordinates aren't very friendly to me."

Or is it that they don't really respect you? We agreed on the terms beforehand, are you trying to go back on your word?

Since forming the Donquixote Family, Doflamingo has never lost face in front of his executives like this. However, because he is unsure of Wood, Doflamingo can only vent his emotions through anger.

"Enough! I'll remove the birdcage. You can take Rosinante and the five billion pegories and get out, while Trafalgar Law will stay."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Rosinante looked incredulous. He was about to say something when his vision went black, and he was knocked down by Wood with a single chop to the neck.

Chapter 223 The Coma of Wood, and the Suspected Rosinandi

With the "birdcage" removed, the communication equipment was naturally restored, so Wood used the Den Den Mushi to call Ruth and the others.

During the days Wood was missing, Ruth and the others were quite uneasy.

Robin, in particular, almost forgot his usual reading time in the days following Wood's departure, spending his days lost in a daze.

If Wood hadn't left her the life-saving paper, this little girl would probably have thought she had been abandoned.

When Ruth and his crew arrived at Minion Island with the Dark Pill II as instructed by Wood, they saw Wood waiting on the shore for a long time, along with a large number of boxes beside him.

As soon as he disembarked, Robin rushed off the ship and quickly assessed Wood's condition.

Judging from Wood's tattered clothes and the numerous scars on his skin, it was clear that he had abandoned them again to do something dangerous on his own.

"Wood! When we parted ways, you promised me you wouldn't do anything dangerous, so why are you acting like this now..."

Seeing Wood looking disheveled, Robin initially adopted a domineering, nagging tone, intending to lecture him.

But before she could finish speaking, she found a body suddenly collapsing into her arms.

When they looked closely, they realized it was Wood, who had just been grinning at them.

Upon seeing the unconscious Wood, Robin panicked instantly and quickly told Ruth and the others to load all their belongings onto the ship and leave this dangerous place.

There were reasons why Wood didn't turn against the Don Quixote family.

Only he himself knows the truth about his situation. Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability suddenly awakened, and this situation was completely unexpected.

While the power of the "Heart of God" is immense, it comes at a price.

If they continue their deadly battle with Doflamingo, it's really hard to say who will emerge victorious in the end.

Therefore, in order to maximize his interests, Wood agreed to negotiate with Doflamingo, and when purging the World Government's people, Wood deliberately put on a show of overwhelming power.

However, the reality was that when Wood kicked Vergo away, he was already all bark and no bite.

His tough attitude was entirely an act, intended to make Doflamingo see that he was fearless and dared not make any rash moves.

When Robin arrived, Wood, who had relaxed his guard, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted in Robin's arms.

The Heart of God consumes life force, and excessive consumption of life force will naturally lead to severe fatigue after the battle.

Wood slept for almost a whole day while unconscious, which is quite outrageous in the pirate world where the physical strength of ordinary people is generally exaggerated.

Seeing the unconscious and disbelieving Wood, Robin's first action was to strip Wood of all his clothes on the spot.

This wasn't Robin being indecent; she just wanted to check if Wood had any serious injuries.

However, after cleaning all of Wood's wounds, Robin did not find any serious, fatal injuries on Wood's body.

The only strange thing was the special characters on Wood's chest that even she couldn't understand.

Robin, born in Ohara, was learned from a young age and was familiar with many kinds of literature in the world.

However, Robin had never seen the runes that appeared on Wood's chest before.

There was no ship's doctor on their ship, and Ruth and the others only knew how to treat minor wounds. Seeing that Wood was breathing steadily but remained unconscious, Robin was extremely anxious.

Just as Robin and Ruth were preparing to temporarily return to the first half of the Grand Line to the famous medical country of Drum Island to treat Wood, Corazon, who had been brought back to the ship with Ruth and the others, woke up first.

No, strictly speaking, he can no longer be called Corazon, because he has been kicked out of the Don Quixote family, so he should now be called Rosinante.

Robin and the others saw the boxes that Wood had brought back earlier.

It has to be said that they were instantly stunned when they opened the box.

Each of those dozens of boxes was filled with banknotes, and after Russ and his group counted them, they discovered an astonishing five billion Berries.

What is the probability of 5 billion Berries? Compared to a decade or two later when there was no inflation, 5 billion Berries today could even buy a sizable kingdom.

Robin didn't know where Wood got so much money, but they knew that since Rosinante was involved with these Baileys, he must be one of the people who knew about these things.

This is also why Rosinandi is in such a miserable situation.

Because he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, Rosinante's hands and feet were currently bound by seastone shackles, and he was being interrogated by Robin.

Why did Russ and his men have Seastone shackles? They found them on their earliest warships.

Back then, their warships were used to raid the Impel Down city, and it's not surprising that the naval warships guarding the city had several sets of Seastone shackles on them.

"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with our Captain Wood? What exactly happened on the island? And why is Wood unconscious?"

Rosinante, who was knocked down by a single chop to the neck, immediately began searching for Ro's whereabouts upon regaining consciousness, only to be shocked to find that she had left the island of Minnion and was now on the vast ocean.

To the black-haired girl's four consecutive questions, Rosinante simply repeated his previous answers.

“My name is Rosinante, and I am a partner of Captain Wood.”

We had a conflict with another pirate crew on the island, and as for why Captain Wood was unconscious, I honestly have no idea.

Having been an undercover agent for many years, Rosinante could tell at a glance that Robin and his group were not "insiders," so he naturally wouldn't expose Wood's identity as a naval undercover agent.

As for what happened on Mignon Island, it was too complicated for Rosinante to explain, so he simply gave a perfunctory answer.

Ruth and her gang used to work in Impel Down, and they had seen plenty of interrogation methods used there.

Rosinante's claim that he was Wood's friend made them uneasy, fearing that if they were too harsh, they might kill the physically weak Rosinante, who was now shackled with sea stone.

Seeing that Ruth and the others had been interrogating him for a long time but hadn't gotten any answers, and that Wood's unconscious state made Robin even more worried.

Therefore, Robin had no choice but to personally interrogate Rosinante.

At first, neither Ruth nor Rosinante took Robin's interrogation seriously. After all, Robin was young and looked harmless, and was obviously no threat to Ruth and his big men.
