One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Luffy abandoned using his arms to protect his body, using his massive sandals to control gravity and fly towards where Trafalgar Law had fallen. "Law! Law! You can't be hurt!"

Fourth Gear Muscle Man used his body to withstand part of the white lines cutting him. In the end, he only managed to salvage his upper body. Trafalgar Law's lower body had already been cut into multiple pieces by the white lines. Even the best doctor in the world could not stitch Trafalgar Law's body back together.

After Doflamingo exhausted his techniques, the Kikoku within him, having lost the influence of the Op-Op Fruit, returned to its normal size and remained inside him. His body, out of control, caused him to fall forward uncontrollably, crashing into a puddle of rain right in front of the camera.

Luffy deactivated Gear Fourth and returned to his emaciated form. He laid Trafalgar Law's upper body flat on the Founding Titan. Blood was flowing from the severed wound, and the internal organs of the Surgeon of Death were also falling down. "What should I do? What should I do? Doctor, I need to find a doctor! Where is a doctor?"

Luffy, also soaked by the rain, showed an unprecedented panic. He even tried to stuff Law's internal organs back into his body, still hoping that the man could be saved. However, the rain from the sky washed away the bloodstains, quickly staining the Straw Hat Luffy's spot completely red. Even if Chopper immediately flew over with a medical kit, he could not save a person who was already dead.

Akin walked up to Doflamingo's body and sensed through the rain that the man had stopped breathing. Only then did the Marine Admiral feel relieved and walk towards Luffy's location. He put one hand on his friend's shoulder and comforted him, "Luffy is dead. This is the final outcome on this sea. Law was able to avenge Corazon himself, and he has already fulfilled his wish. He has lived too long and it has been too tiring for him. Let's let him go."

Luffy raised his head, rain streaming down his face. It was unclear whether he was shedding tears at that moment. Gin could sense that the Straw Hat Luffy was deeply saddened. He was still not used to the death of someone he knew, just as he had been five years ago.

Looking at Trafalgar Law's pale upper half, Akin took off his justice cloak and used it to cover Trafalgar Law's head and below, leaving dignity for the man who fought to the end, and also thanking him for his contribution to justice.

Two survivors stood in the wind and rain, watching Trafalgar Law pass away. After he died, he closed his eyes on his own initiative, and Luffy actually noticed a smile on his face. "Although I don't know who Corazon is, I've never seen him smile from the bottom of his heart before. I never thought I would see him in a scene like this today." Their acquaintance in Sabaody Archipelago was short-lived, and they never imagined that their next meeting would be their last.

The annoying rain gradually dissipated, and Gin used the Rain-Rain Fruit to drain the moisture from the clouds, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine on the Founding Titan once again. At the same time, Trafalgar Law, who had died, seemed to be reborn under the sunlight, and he was as lifelike as he had been in life.

While the outside world was shrouded in gloom and despair because of Luo's death, this man didn't have time to rewind. When he opened his eyes again as a soul, his vision captured a completely different scene in the outside world.

In a pure white space, Trafalgar Law unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. Upon seeing Law, the man rushed towards him. Law, completely unaware of the situation, was kicked away by the suddenly approaching figure, sending him flying several hundred meters.

Luo, his face etched with bewilderment, couldn't understand why the man had attacked him. He uttered the assailant's name: "Mr. Corazon... Corazon."

The man's last memory was feeling his upper and lower body separate, and then he came to this white world. He didn't understand why he would see Mr. Corazon again. The man's figure and appearance were as young as when he died, without any signs of aging. But he couldn't understand why the man beat him up. There didn't seem to be any old grudges between them.

When Trafalgar Law looked up again with a puzzled expression, he saw Corazon standing beside him once more. This time, however, the other man did not resort to violence. Tears had already soaked his face. At that moment, the man felt a sense of relief. This was definitely Mr. Corazon. Law had been thrown and kicked like this when he was a child. The distant memory in his mind made him feel both familiar and strange.

With a trembling body, Corazon questioned, "Ronald, why...why did you come so early? You look like you're only just over thirty. I gave you this life, and you don't cherish it at all!"

Trafalgar Law understood one thing from his benefactor's words: the memory of his severed body was not wrong, and his physical body was indeed dead. However, he was able to take Doflamingo, this devil, with him before he died and avenge the souls that had fallen at his hands. The man smiled with relief. He had never felt so relaxed in all his years of life.

Trafalgar Law's life was only happy for the first ten years, living with his family in the white town of Flevance, which gave him most of his best memories. Later, due to the tragedy of lead poisoning, his family suffered and ended up with Doflamingo.

He met Corazon, his benefactor who liked to pretend to be mute. In the end, Corazon's death gave Law a second life. Without the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit, Amber Lead Disease would be incurable. At that time, he was young and didn't have much time left. Now, he feels that it is enough for him to live to the age of thirty.

The only thing he couldn't let go of was his younger sister, Rummy. However, now that she was on Luffy's crew, given the personalities of the crew on the Sunny, they definitely wouldn't bully or discriminate against her. He wondered how long his sister's lead poisoning would last, and as her older brother, he felt quite regretful that he couldn't use the Op-Op Fruit to cure her in the end.

However, Trafalgar Law did not regret going to such lengths to trade his life for Doflamingo's; he would still do the same if given the chance.

Chapter 231 Pure Land

The idea that someone who has just died could meet a predecessor who has long since passed away is unprecedented and has never been mentioned before. After all, life is only once, and the spirits of the dead are extremely rare at sea, much like some kind of enduring maritime horror legend used to deceive children who don't like to sleep.

"Mr. Corazon, where is this place? Is the afterlife this quiet?" Trafalgar Law was kicked away by the man in front of him, flying nearly a hundred meters away, but his body did not feel any pain. He subconsciously glanced at his own appearance.

At this moment, Law is in a semi-transparent spirit form, dressed in white, unlike his previous style of clothing where he liked to expose his chest and show off the Heart Pirate Crew tattoo. Everyone here wears the same clothes, and even Celestial Dragons can't get special treatment.

Seeing that the other party was changing the subject, Corazon wiped away his tears and grabbed Trafalgar Law by the collar. At that moment, the adopted son of the Sengoku period realized from the touch how big and strong the other party had grown.

When he was a child, I could easily hold him in my hand. When Corazon died, he was just a little kid. Looking at Trafalgar Law now, a young man, I feel a bit emotional. Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, he has grown so tall.

Corazon inherited the tall stature of the Don Quixote family, standing nearly three meters tall. Young Luo was only a head shorter than him. "You troublesome kid, Luo, can't you live a few more years? I thought that when I saw you again, you might have become a little old man. Why don't you cherish your life?"

Trafalgar Law's face was sprayed with saliva from his benefactor's excitement, but the feeling of being cared for brought a happy smile to the man's face. He had never felt so relaxed. Everything in the world was no longer relevant to him. "I've lived enough at thirty. On average, pirates who adventure on the high seas don't even live to my age."

Faced with this kid's sophistry and Trafalgar Law's relieved expression, the gentle Corazon was furious. With her other hand free, she slapped Law across the face, saying, "You haven't even lived as long as I have. You're really annoying!"

Luo felt a little pain in his spirit form after being slapped a few times on the forehead by his benefactor, but the feeling quickly disappeared. After all, a spirit is not a human body, and spirits can come into contact with each other. Under normal circumstances, a spirit will not dissipate in this space.

Despite being beaten, Law maintained his smile. Corazon sighed helplessly. There was no use trying to bring him back now that he was already dead. This gentle younger brother of the Heavenly Demon could only accept reality. Thinking too much about it was useless. Law's physical body had died in the mortal world, and it was not an easy thing to be resurrected.

Putting Law's collar down, Corazon suppressed his anger and began to calmly explain to him, "Law knows you are very curious about what this place is. You can think of it as one of the afterlife. This white space is called the Pure Land, where some souls with unfulfilled wishes stay and wait."

Later, through Mr. Corazon's popular science explanation, he learned why his parents' figures were not seen in the Pure Land of One Heart. The souls that could ultimately remain in this white space all possessed very demanding conditions, and the Underworld did not allow too many spirits to appear here.

If a large number of souls crowd into the Pure Land, it will affect the work of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the depths of the Underworld. The reason why Corazon was able to obtain a pass to enter this place is because his own "resentment" after death was too heavy, and he was troubled by two unfulfilled wishes that prevented him from being reborn.

Trafalgar Law's appearance in the Pure Land was actually thanks to Corazon's good fortune, because the benefactor's first wish was to see him again after death. However, the benefactor did not expect Law to arrive in the Pure Land so soon.

Thinking of all this, Trafalgar Law felt a lump in his throat. Looking at the pure white and lonely space around him, he couldn't imagine how the other person must have lived in this idyllic place while waiting for him. The monotonous scenery would make people numb. Trafalgar Law was deeply moved that Mr. Corazon had persisted for him for so many years.

In fact, the person Law most wanted to see after his death was Corazon. The two of them were going to each other. Although they were not related by blood, they were already family. Doflamingo, that born bad seed, had to step aside.

The Pure Land is a place with nothing at all, taking the concept of nothingness to its extreme. There are no entertainment facilities in the pure white space. Spirits here do not need to eat or drink; they can only waste time here. Corazon doesn't even remember how long he has been here.

There is no sunrise or sunset here, nor are there any reference points that require special attention. This pure land is also free from any external destruction. To put it more clearly, this place is an alternate dimension under the Yellow Springs, so it is impossible for spirits to record the passage of time by making marks.

Now that Trafalgar Law has entered this place, it has finally given Corazon some time to consider. He didn't expect that he himself had been trapped in the Pure Land for almost twenty years. Corazon didn't really feel the reality of waiting for such a long time for a spirit. After becoming familiar with the environment of the Pure Land, he lay down in a place and stared blankly, silently waiting for the person he longed for to reappear.

Having been dead for so many years, Corazon was naturally very curious about the present world. "It's been almost twenty years. Is the current Fleet Admiral still Mr. Sengoku?"

Trafalgar Law didn't know how to answer this question. Five years ago, the Marines were almost completely wiped out in the Battle of Marineford. In particular, Fleet Admiral Sengoku clearly stated in subsequent reports that he had died in the battle. The entire Navy held a grand funeral for him, and memorial statues were erected for future generations to pay their respects. It would be a bit unreasonable if he hadn't died.

Law did not intend to deceive his benefactor. Adhering to the principle of not deceiving spirits, he told the truth: "The former Fleet Admiral Sengoku died in battle five years ago. After I joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I entered the Marine Headquarters and saw the bronze statue of Fleet Admiral Sengoku inside. But you don't need to be too sad. I avenged you before I died. That guy Doflamingo was killed by the Devil Fruit you fed me."

Speaking of which, this guy really doesn't know how to comfort people. Corazon couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Law's words. This guy's emotional intelligence is as low as when he was a kid. However, he wanted to pour cold water on his little brother, "I think you're getting a little too excited. Doflamingo and Sengoku should not be dead."

Trafalgar Law: "Huh...?" The man looked incredulous; he couldn't believe Doflamingo was still alive in that situation.

Chapter 232 Not Dead

When it comes to how to break down an adult's defenses with just one sentence, Corazon did it so simply and easily. When he learned from his benefactor that the demon was not dead, Trafalgar Law immediately thought that the other party was joking, and this joke was not funny at all. He had risked his life to kill the other party. If the other party was not dead, wouldn't he have lost money by coming to the Pure Land?

"Impossible, Mr. Corazon, this is impossible! I personally used the Demon Cry to shred Doflamingo's body. At most, there was a pool of blood inside him, and even the fragments of his internal organs were extremely rare. There is absolutely no way he could have survived such an injury." Before he died, Trafalgar Law did not disconnect from his sword. Through the Demon Cry and the influence of the Op-Op Fruit, he was absolutely certain that Doflamingo, that bad seed, was definitely dead.

Trafalgar Law suddenly became so agitated that his voice rose several octaves. Corazon, the gentle man, was not angry at all. He simply patted the other man on the shoulder, saying that this little brother underestimated his beastly older brother. Trafalgar Law was still too young when it came to cunning.

Corazon's claim that Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Doflamingo were not dead was not unfounded; he had evidence to back it up. The man patiently explained to his younger brother, "You have only recently lost your life and do not understand the workings of the Underworld. Because I remain in the Pure Land, I can sense the spirits of those connected to me in this world who die. I did not sense my adoptive father's soul a few years ago, and I do not sense Doflamingo's soul now either."

This seasoned veteran, who had been living in the Pure Land, had made his point very clear. In the more than twenty years of waiting, Corazon had had enough time to figure out many things. He had no need to lie to Law, because they were all dead, and what use would it be for dead to lie to dead?

Mr. Corazon spoke with a serious expression, and Trafalgar Law knew he wasn't joking. Could it be that Doflamingo, that demon, wasn't dead yet? Was a human really that hard to kill? We're all carbon-based life forms, so why did the Heavenly Demon have two lives?

Trafalgar Law covered his head with his hands in the face of this fact. He still couldn't accept it for a moment. He had endured so much humiliation and hardship, but he still failed to kill his opponent by one move. "If that demon is really not dead, then Captain Kin and Captain Luffy will be in danger. They will be in danger..."

Having become a spirit, he knew he could do nothing, let alone leave the Pure Land to interfere with worldly activities. Faced with this powerless situation, he could only pray that his two surviving allies could defeat Doflamingo, and he was even more worried about the safety of his younger sister, Rami.

The man sat on the ground, recalling his life of revenge. The vivid memories played out in his mind. Since Mr. Corazon's death, Law had shifted his revenge target from the World Government to Doflamingo, and had not had a single day of his own life for many years.

As a surviving resident of the white town of Flevans, he even went so far as to cooperate with the current new navy, reaching an internal consensus with Admiral Smoker to reveal the secret base of Punk Hazard to him, allowing the admiral to shift his operational target, and finally destroy the SMILE factory, bringing the mad scientist Caesar Clown back into the navy's embrace.

Driven by a desire for revenge, Trafalgar Law never imagined that his sister Rami, whom he had betrayed all these years, would survive the fire. Over the years, the Silver Maiden had suffered countless hardships at the hands of Diamante, all due to the responsibility of her brother. It was Law's own fault for being blinded by hatred on his path to becoming a pirate.

In the end, Trafalgar Law sacrificed everything for so-called revenge, but still failed to kill Doflamingo at the crucial moment. The result of twenty years of hard work was all for naught. This contrast between the past and the future is unacceptable to men.

Due to the intense emotional turmoil, Luo's spirit kept flickering in front of Corazon, like a broken light bulb. This benefactor didn't know how to comfort his little brother. He hadn't expected that the other party would be so obsessed with revenge, thus indirectly giving up his own life.

"Law, I'm so sorry. I never imagined my death would twist you like this. Twenty years ago, perhaps I would have said more. Revenge for me really wasn't worth it, really not worth it." Corazon had experienced more than Trafalgar Law; he had long since disregarded his own death. The harm Doflamingo inflicted on his younger brother was greater than any of the Destroyers combined.

The twisted and deranged older brother shot their father in the head with a pistol in front of young Corazon, and then cut off their father's head in front of him. Doflamingo wanted to use this to get back his Celestial Dragon status from the Five Elders. At that time, he did not consider his cowardly younger brother.

Ultimately, if it weren't for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's adoption, the cowardly Corazon might not have survived to adulthood. A family of saintly Celestial Dragons raised two children with completely opposite personalities. There's no other explanation; the Don Quixote bloodline has a fundamental problem, either manifesting itself or on its way to manifesting itself.

Just as Luo was alone with Yu Yu, he suddenly felt his spirit being pulled by some kind of force. His spirit, which had finally stabilized, began to flash with light on a large scale again. "What's wrong with me? Where am I going?"

Corazon, a seasoned veteran, knew what was going on. At this moment, he no longer held back and took Trafalgar Law into his arms, expressing his feelings in the gentlest tone, "Law, the time I spent with you during your treatment is one of my most cherished memories. I've always treated you like a younger brother. It's a pity that your time is running out. This is our last meeting, our final farewell."

Like Trafalgar Law, Sengoku's adopted son lacked companionship from his peers in his later life, and was even more devoid of familial affection. The fact that the two were able to meet within Doflamingo's forces meant that they redeemed each other.

After hearing these words, Luo's heart was touched, and tears streamed down his face. Mr. Corazon also looked teary-eyed. But why was their time together so short, and why did their parting come so soon?

The inexplicable pull grew stronger and stronger, forcing Luo's spirit to break free from Corazon's embrace and fly towards the realm beyond the Pure Land. "Goodbye, Mr. Corazon, Brother Corazon..."

There was nothing the two of them could do but watch it all happen. Corazon witnessed his little brother fly away from the Pure Land, and the indescribable sadness and melancholy were expressed on his face.

The sanctuary returned to its former tranquility. The sorrowful man sighed and lay down again on the white earth. Before closing his eyes, he uttered a lonely sigh: "I'll be alone again, all alone again..."

Chapter 233 Shiki the Golden Lion

Unexpectedly, such a pure land exists in this world. This alternate dimension is closely related to the Yellow Springs. However, being able to see the people one wants to see after death truly brings some comfort and even some emotion to the viewers watching the sky screen.

In order to get a better view of the sky, the Heart Pirates deliberately brought the Polar Submarine to the surface. The fresh air outside made the crew members feel at ease, but this did not include the captain of the Heart Pirates.

Trafalgar Law met his Pure Land self and parted ways with Mr. Corazon. Unexpectedly, they had poured out their hearts to each other before that, expressing the deepest feelings hidden in their hearts. Perhaps only under the premise of never seeing each other again can relatives put aside their reserve and take the initiative to express their love.

Clutching his sword, the man could not hide his grief. Memories of his death relentlessly assaulted him, with the image of Corazon constantly flashing through his mind, especially the scene of his laughter before his death, which remained unforgettable for this usually composed man.

"Mr. Corazon, is death the only way to see you again?" After saying this misleading remark, Law's gaze lingered on the ghost's cry. The captain's two actions startled the other crew members.

White Bear Bepo acted first, hugging his captain from behind. He couldn't let Law do anything foolish. The other crew members followed suit and surrounded the captain. Law had been in a bad mood these past few days, and the crew thought there was a high probability that the captain would do something stupid.

"Captain, please don't abandon us!"

"How can we live without you!"

"That demon Doflamingo isn't dead yet, you don't need to rush to see Mr. Corazon."

Looking at his crew's agitated state, Trafalgar Law could only manage a wry smile. Perhaps his actions these past few days had truly misled them, making them think that under the oppressive atmosphere of sadness, he would do something as foolish as taking his own life.

It's impossible to even think about it with your toes. Law is a carnivore driven by revenge. Before Doflamingo goes to hell, he needs to preserve his useful body so that he can devise a perfect plan to settle scores with him later. The version of himself five years in the future in his mind's eye was poorly planned and suffered from the difference in strength.

"Let me go! I'm dying of heat! You're overthinking it. I don't want to die. As long as Doflamingo exists, I will live on. I want to witness the defeat of the Heavenly Demon!" Law's eyes were filled with determination. He felt that his pirate crew was too weak right now, and would be even less capable in the turbulent times five years later.

The journey of the Pirate Supernovas, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the awakening of the Op-Op Fruit over the past five years is still not enough. He still cannot defeat Doflamingo head-on. Law feels that he needs stronger allies. Many hands make light work. He does not believe that the Heavenly Demon has countless lives.

Pirates of the Four Emperors' caliber certainly wouldn't ally with you. Trafalgar Law knew he could only form an alliance with the Supernovas. He needed to hurry to the Sabaody Archipelago, waiting for suitable allies on that dividing line of the Grand Line. Luffy was the first one he was considering, after all, he was a reliable person in the Sky, a quality that was especially rare among pirates.

Five years later, the Straw Hat Pirates' crew members were all quite strong. After recognizing this pirate crew, Law issued a mobilization order to the other crew members: "This time we have a target. First, we will go to the Sabaody Archipelago and wait for the pirates to arrive. We must win over the Straw Hat Pirates. Other trustworthy pirates can form alliances with them. In the end, there is only one goal: to completely eliminate Doflamingo and rid the world of this scourge!"

In fact, Trafalgar Law did not think Doflamingo was invincible. In terms of intelligence, Doflamingo's strength was at most at the level of a high-ranking Shichibukai. As for why his strength increased so much after five years, many people, like Law, couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried, and even Doflamingo himself couldn't understand the reason.

Just as everyone was looking forward to a bright future, the polar diving vessel suddenly lost control. Despite being a diving vessel, it began to rise and start to lose contact with the sea surface.

Everyone on the ship was subjected to the same gravitational pull, being lifted upwards. Trafalgar Law knew he was still alive and that this was definitely an attack from an unknown enemy. In order to protect everyone's safety, the man had no choice but to use the power of the Op-Op Fruit, "ROOM!"

The Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit instantly created a barrier, enveloping all the crew members and the Polar Diving Ship together. Law planned to teleport with the crew and the ship to leave this dangerous place before making any further plans.
