Chapter 257 - Chapter 74: Former Roger Pirates Crew Member, Douglas Bullet

Rosinante did not hesitate at all. He directly sold out his older brother, Doflamingo, with whom he shared only blood and no affection whatsoever.

"A Celestial Dragon? I know that. I also know Doflamingo killed his father, carried his father's head to the Holy Land, and then got driven out again."

"Uh…"

Rosinante froze. He had not expected Roy to understand his family affairs so clearly.

"Cough, cough."

Law's coughing brought Rosinante back to his senses.

"I still have information! I still have information!"

Rosinante anxiously racked his brain.

As Sengoku's adopted son, he had definitely come into contact with certain secrets that ordinary people did not know.

But precisely because they were secrets, they were not things he could tell others.

He was also a Marine. He absolutely could not reveal any information that would harm the Marines.

Then the information he could reveal was only…

"I remember now, Thunder Emperor-sama!"

Suddenly, Rosinante's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "In Impel Down, the great undersea prison that belongs to one of the World Government's three major institutions, there are actually six levels. The sixth level is known as Infinite Hell. Many great pirates famous throughout the world are imprisoned there, and there are also many Devil Fruit users."

"Because their Devil Fruits are too powerful and unique, the World Government is unwilling to kill them and let those Devil Fruits reappear somewhere in the sea. That is why they have been imprisoned there forever."

The Thunder Emperor was extremely interested in Devil Fruits. He would definitely obtain information about Infinite Hell sooner or later, so it made no difference whether Rosinante leaked this information or not.

"I know. I also know that Infinite Hell imprisons the 'World Destroyer' Byrnndi World, as well as Patrick Redfield, the 'Lonely Red' and the 'Red Count.' If it is only information about those people, then it still is not enough."

Roy shook his head.

"Then… do you know Douglas Bullet?"

"Douglas? Bullet?"

Roy was stunned when he heard that. He really had not heard that name before, though it did feel vaguely familiar.

"Yes! Douglas Bullet was originally a crew member on Pirate King Roger's ship. Later, he was captured and sent to Impel Down. I heard he was originally a powerful Devil Fruit user as well, but whether that is true or false, I do not know."

"A member of Roger's crew?"

Roy gradually came to a realization.

He remembered now. Before he transmigrated, there seemed to be a movie about to release that year, and its main villain was this Bullet.

The movie's story took place after Luffy and the others escaped from Big Mom's territory and were on their way to Wano.

If he remembered correctly, after Luffy and Blackbeard caused a huge disturbance and Bullet escaped from the great undersea prison, he held a Pirate Expo and invited Luffy and the others to participate, which then triggered a whole series of events.

Speaking of which, Impel Down really was a wonderful place.

Whenever those writers could not find a suitable movie boss, or could not decide how to arrange a character's background, they simply pushed it all onto some famous great pirate who had escaped from Impel Down during the disturbance back then.

It was logical, well-founded, and convincing, and it saved them an enormous amount of effort.

Byrnndi World was like that. Redfield was like that too.

Even Shiki from Strong World was… All right, he had escaped from prison before that.

He had also heard that, aside from this former member of Roger's crew, there would also be a songstress named Ann this time.

After all, back when Rouge was giving birth, she had said, "If it is a boy, his name will be Ace. If it is a girl, her name will be Ann."

There had basically never been any precedent of identical names in One Piece, so this name made it hard not to overthink things.

Whatever. Why think so much? What did it have to do with him?

Still, to be honest, it was time to retrieve World's More-More Fruit, which could increase power a hundredfold.

When the time came, Super Saiyan 3, plus hundredfold Kaio-ken, plus the hundredfold More-More Fruit…

Was he going to start challenging Angels and Gods of Destruction or what?!

And if he later unlocked Super Saiyan 4, Super Saiyan Blue, or even Super Saiyan God, and then added all those amplifications on top…

All right. He should stop thinking so far ahead and return to reality.

Since Rosinante had mentioned Bullet to him, this information was worth something.

And so, under Rosinante's wildly overjoyed gaze, Roy nodded slightly and said softly, "Fine."

Whoosh.

Before Rosinante's unblinking eyes, a golden light instantly covered Law's body.

Dende's Healing Technique was still as effective as ever.

A few seconds later, the light around Law faded, and Roy withdrew his hand.

Rosinante watched Law slowly stand up, staring at his own hands and body in disbelief. At last, Rosinante could no longer hold himself back. He rushed forward and pulled Law into a tight embrace.

"That's wonderful! Law, that's really wonderful!"

Ignoring the two men hugging each other and crying tears of joy, Roy directly flashed away from that place.

Unlike the original version, Doflamingo's group had already surrounded the Barrels Pirates at this moment.

"Hey! Doflamingo! This isn't what we agreed on!"

Seeing that he had already been surrounded, Diez Barrels could not help shouting. An ominous premonition instantly surged in his heart.

However, before he could finish speaking, he felt the world spin before his eyes. The final image reflected in his vision was a headless body spraying blood.

"Fufufufu, what a thorough fool. He actually believed the World Government would give him five billion berries. No wonder he betrayed the Marines and became a pirate. His brain really doesn't work very well."

As Doflamingo laughed, he looked at the family members gathering around him after wiping out the rest of Barrels's small fry.

"How is it?"

Even with Doflamingo's temperament, he could not help feeling a little anxious at this moment.

"We got it, Young Master!"

Gladius took out a wooden box. Inside, a heart-shaped Devil Fruit lay quietly.

"Fufufufu! Good!"

"What could possibly make you so happy?"

"Hm?!!"

The laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone's bodies tensed at once, and Doflamingo raised his hand straight toward the place where the voice had come from, shooting out several sharp threads.

Clang!

The sound was like metal striking metal, and Doflamingo's heart sank.

Then, when he saw the true appearance of the person who had spoken, the pupils behind his frames abruptly constricted.

"Thunder Emperor-kun!"
