Pirates: Your emperor has returned!

……

One day, a kid suffering from lead poisoning suddenly approaches Doflamingo and asks to join the Donquixote Family.

The boy was terminally ill and would soon die, and all Rosinante could see in his eyes was hatred.

At first, Rosinante didn't pay much attention, but simply pretended to dislike children and tried to drive him out of the Don Quixote family.

However, as time went by, after several conflicts, their relationship improved considerably.

It was shortly after that that Rosinante overheard the boy's full name—

Trafalgar d. Vattir Ro.

The D clan?!

Upon learning this news, Rosinante immediately dragged Law out to sea, explaining to Doflamingo that they were going to treat Law's illness.

This is certainly one of the goals, but at the same time, Rosinante does not want Ro to follow in his brother's footsteps.

……

The road to seeking medical treatment is not easy.

Platinum lead poisoning is a type of poisoning caused by the chronic accumulation of toxins due to mineral mining, and it is not actually contagious.

However, in order to cover up its own mistakes, the World Government exaggerated the horrors of lead poisoning, claiming it was highly contagious, and even carried out inhumane massacres in towns where lead poisoning had spread.

Luo was a survivor of the massacre.

In short, the two of them searched countless islands, from the North Blue to the Grand Line, but not only could they not find a cure, they couldn't even find a single hospital willing to treat Law!

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed.

Luo's platinum lead poisoning symptoms worsened, with white spots spreading across his skin. The toxins in his body were accumulating and could erupt at any moment, taking the boy's life!

……

After that, Rowan didn't know much.

Rosinante's own account provided Rowan with the answer.

About a week ago, Rosinante, clinging to his last hope, brought Law from the North Blue to the Grand Line.

He had heard that on a certain route of the Grand Line, there was a country known as the "Land of Medicine"—the Drum Kingdom.

But what worried Rosinandi was that the intelligence he had gathered along the way said that the current king of the Drum Kingdom was a foolish tyrant who had closed the country off for a long time and prohibited doctors from going out to practice medicine.

Whatever!

Rosinandi gritted his teeth.

At worst, we can just blow up those unethical quacks like before!

However, when Rosinante arrived at Drum Island, he learned some unexpected news from the residents of Big Horn Village.

"A doctor? No problem! There's a big hospital in the next village!"

"..."

"The best doctor? Hmm...you mean Dr. Kureha? She's not on Drum Island right now, she's probably in Alabasta, right?"

Ordinary doctors are helpless against platinum lead disease, so the only option is to seek out the best doctors!

Rosinandi immediately took Rosinandi on a journey to Alabasta.

To avoid unnecessary conflict, they did not choose merchant ships with fixed routes, but instead rowed their own small boats.

And that's how the two of them ended up landing in the fishman village.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Rosinante couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a large group of fish-men living in a human kingdom.

Rosinante, who was once a Celestial Dragon, is well aware of the world's prejudice against fish-men.

For a country to treat the fish-men well is already difficult enough, let alone to build a village specifically for them named after "fish-men"!

Four Seas Alliance —

Along the way, Rosinandi found himself hearing the name everywhere.

The man most closely associated with this name was the emperor who had been resurrected eight hundred years ago, a figure that had caused quite a stir in the newspapers.

……

At that moment, Ryan Rowan, nicknamed "Golden Dawn," stood right in front of Rosinandi!

Rosinandi's eyes flickered slightly as he scanned the people around him.

There are quite a few murlocs, especially that big murloc, whose fighting power is definitely not weak.

Meanwhile, there was also a man wearing a black fur coat—Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They are all top-notch sailors on the high seas!

Including that doctor who wasn't afraid of platinum lead poisoning, are all these people members of that so-called "Four Seas Alliance"?

……

But it's nothing.

From the initial probe, Rosinandi understood that if the other party really wanted to, he would have no way to escape with Luo Anran.

Since the other party has shown some sincerity, I should reciprocate.

So, while concealing that he was a naval spy, he confessed to Rowan that he was a member of the Don Quixote family.

The Four Seas Alliance's sphere of influence was far from the Don Quixote family, so news of its ability to speak wouldn't reach them.

However, Kureha's capricious behavior has put Rossindi in a difficult position.

"Doctor, thank you for your help, but if you had said that earlier..."

"Of course I'm serious!"

Kureha's eyes widened, and she pulled Luo aside, saying, "Since you've chosen me to treat you, you have to follow my rules!"

Seeing the other party's tough stance, Rosinandi became even more conflicted.

He actually had a solution for lead poisoning, but it was also the riskiest method, and one he only had to resort to as a last resort.

The fruit of surgery.

……

A few days ago, Rosinante received a message from his brother Doflamingo.

A group of pirates obtained a Devil Fruit called the Op-Op Fruit. They did not know the true value of the Devil Fruit, so they planned to trade it with the Navy for 5 billion Berries.

The Don Quixote family learned of this and planned to seize the fruits of the surgery.

And this fruit is the key to treating platinum lead poisoning!

……

Left with no other option, Rosinante could only explain, "There is a Devil Fruit called the Op-Op Fruit that can completely cure Platinum Lead Disease. I know where it is."

He nodded slightly to everyone, "Thank you for your kindness, but this child can't wait for conservative treatment. I'm going to take him to try this last hope!"

Rosinandi had no intention of lying.

Firstly, there was no need to lie, and secondly, he really didn't want to use lies to appease this rare and excellent doctor.

Rowan didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead turned to ask Kureha.

Can the rules be broken?

The rule—for patients in Kureha's presence, there are only two possible outcomes: "recovery" or "death."

Kureha narrowed her eyes, understanding Rowan's meaning.

Rowan needed her to give him a "reason," and this was exactly what Kureha wanted.

Kureha grinned and said, "Of course not!"

Rowan nodded and shrugged helplessly at Rosinante.

"See? Even my doctor said so."

After he finished speaking, the tiny yet exquisite sand table slowly rotated in Rowan's pupils.

Rosinante: "...Huh?"

He was stunned, not understanding what the other person meant for a moment.

Seeing this, Kureha stepped forward, patted Rosinante on the shoulder, and laughed loudly:

"You brat, looks like we'll get a share of that Ope Ope no Mi thing!"

But what was actually surging in Rowan's eyes was not the North Sea, nor Alabasta, but a continent with a complex appearance.

That continent was red.

"..."

"……Why?"

Rosinandi blinked, his mind replaying the information-rich words he had just heard.

After a few breaths, he came to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, what did you say?"

Rosinandi was the kind of guy who behaved rather strangely; he would set his clothes on fire when he smoked, fall over while standing on flat ground, and lean backward along with the sofa when he sat down...

This trait hadn't yet manifested when I was on high alert.

Now that he had relaxed and heard such words, his behavior immediately became exaggerated, and he almost fell to the ground.

"No, well, how should I put it..."

In fact, the whole thing was originally quite complicated.

Doflamingo was unaware that Rosinante was a Devil Fruit user.
