Chapter 146 World News Day 11 Could it be... Wendy Carter...
World News Day 11:
At the beginning, Doflamingo did not know that his brother was a Devil Fruit user, let alone the power of the Silence Fruit, otherwise Law would not have been able to escape at that time.
It was only after Doflamingo killed his brother on that snowy night that year that he sent people to investigate - because of the letter to Garp, he also suspected that Rossinante and Wendy had known each other for a long time.
After all, Rosinante had been a navy officer for quite a long time, and Doflamingo also had his own people planted within the navy, so it was not difficult to find out some things. In this way, he learned about the other party's life trajectory after he left him, and also learned that the other party was the user of the Silence Fruit, and understood how Law escaped that year.
Even in this public auction of the Silence Fruit, although he wanted to fish, he mainly wanted to fish for Law, the user of the Operation Fruit, rather than Wendy - because unlike Law, who had gone astray as a CP brain, in his opinion, Wendy herself was not special to Rossinante.
And if Luo and Wendy didn't show up... he wouldn't care.
Because that way he could let his subordinates eat the Silence Fruit, and then wait for Law and Wendy to see someone who was similar to Rosinante, but only loyal to him and only accepted his way...
Ah, that's right. Then I'll find someone who looks similar to Rosinante. — Doflamingo made a decision in his heart.

Polar Diver————
"Damn it! Damn it, damn it—!"
Kuma was entrusted by Law to investigate the situation in Dressrosa, and he would definitely tell him if he found this abnormality.
Trafalgar Law, who suddenly learned of this, had a stern face and acted fine on the surface, but when he was alone, he could not suppress his anger - how dare Doflamingo -!
Law has always been a smart kid. He likes to think and plan, and is good at strategy. He probably guessed what Doflamingo was thinking.
That's why he was so angry at this moment.
After venting his emotions, he walked out and looked at the big bear standing at the door, looking at him worriedly.
"I'm sorry, Master Bartholomew." Luo Leng said with a stern face, and slowly exhaled, "I know about this matter, thank you very much... Does Miss Wendy know about this matter?"
Big Bear nodded: "Sabo conveyed it to her."
Law knew about the existence of Sabo and Ace, but because he knew Wendy's real age (what he thought it was), he immediately knew that the two were adopted.
Hearing what Daxiong said, Luo's expression became a little complicated - on the one hand, he felt that this matter could not be hidden from Wendy, on the other hand, he felt that he could handle it himself...
"Luo, do you want to go see Wendy?" Big Bear asked him, "This isn't a request for help...just think of it as going to see her. Wendy has actually always wanted to see you."
Luo was stunned and fell silent.
After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "I don't plan to see Miss Wendy until I defeat Doflamingo and avenge Mr. Corazon."
Even if he didn't come to ask for help, if he went there, Miss Wendy would probably do those things.
Miss Wendy now has two former Shichibukai in her hands... The current one was defeated by Ace, the Fire Fist, which means she has directly eliminated three Shichibukai... Add Doflamingo to the mix, and the Shichibukai system can be declared useless and collapsed.
Maybe Miss Wendy is not worried about the World Government at all, but he cannot let them get into danger.
And... he actually wanted to take advantage of the Shichibukai system. He wanted to join the Shichibukai and use this identity to complete this revenge.
Miss Wendy may have connections in the Navy, but she has bigger things to do and shouldn't expose her connections for his mission.
Big Bear could probably guess what he was thinking. He sighed softly and handed over a Den Den Mushi: "In that case...just give her a call."
Luo was stunned. He looked at the Den Den Mushi in the other person's hand and hesitated. "Is it possible to call from such a distance?"
"This is a special Den Den Mushi made by Vegapunk." Big Bear smiled gently, saying, "Wendy asked me to bring it to you. This is the main reason I came here this time."

On the other side, the Abigail——
"The Fruit of Silence..." Wendy was confused for a moment before she remembered, "Ah, it's the Fruit of Rosinante!"
Crocodile was puzzled when he heard the unfamiliar name. He turned around and asked Hawkeye, "Who is it? Her ex-boyfriend again?"
Hawkeye glanced at him and said, "She doesn't have an ex-boyfriend."
...Okay, if you say no, then no. — Crocodile glanced at him and said nothing.
Crocodile felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he paid some attention to it, and then he found that Wendy answered a video call from behind - the Den Den Mushi that was used was a new functional Den Den Mushi modified by Vegapunk, which was said to be a gift from Wendy's brother, and was usually taken care of by Hawkeye.
When Wendy turned on her phone, a dark-haired young man wearing a felt hat appeared on the screen. He looked a little familiar...
Crocodile, who was watching, turned to look at Hawkeye in confusion: "You have a real eldest son before Ace the Fire Fist?"
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked more like Hawkeye than Ace and Sabo.
"..." Hawkeye looked over speechlessly, "No."
Although Wendy's age is indeed impossible to tell from her appearance, and her mental age fluctuates greatly, which interferes with her judgment...but in the eyes of Crocodile, how old is Wendy?
Wendy ignored the two cricket-sniffing men behind her. When she saw Luo, she was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at him for a long time, then hesitantly called out, "Luo?"
【It’s me, Miss Wendy. 】
"Wow - you've grown up!" Wendy showed a surprised expression - unlike the ASL trio whom she saw almost once a year, the last time she saw Luo was when she first became a ghost, and it had been many years.
Luo Ye grew from a little kid into an adult male in an instant, and looked completely different.
This feeling of remotely cultivating NPCs is so novel!
"Yes... after all, it's been almost ten years." Luo curled his lips slightly, looked at Wendy in the video, and subconsciously said, "Miss Wendy, you've grown up too... uh, you're not the same as before."
He almost wanted to say "You've grown up too" - after all, the last time he saw Wendy, she was only about 14 or 15 years old, which was quite different from her current adult form.
"Because I'm using the adult mod!" Wendy unguardedly spoke the truth that no one else could understand, and then happily began chatting with the other person, "Where are you now, Luo?"
[I'm on this side of the Grand Line... almost reaching the Sabaody Archipelago.]
"Then just come to me! I'll prepare a room for you on the Abigail! Or you can choose one yourself! Even if you choose Crook's, it's fine!"
Crocodile: "Hey! Wendy Carter! I haven't left yet!"
Wendy turned around, looking confused. "You're moving out next year anyway. If Luo likes your room, why don't you just give it up?"
Crocodile: "...Believe it or not, I'm leaving tonight?"
Hawkeye suddenly said: "Have a nice trip."
Crocodile was completely furious: "Why are you butting in? And what do you have to say?!"
——Forget about the others, he felt that he was the man least likely to have a relationship with Wendy Carter. What on earth was this love-brained man dissatisfied with!?
I don’t plan to come over…
"What?" Wendy turned back suddenly, her face filled with shock. "You don't want to play with me? I was planning on resurrecting you once you got here! Didn't you want to resurrect me when you were a kid?"
[…You knew?!] Luo was also shocked. [No…Miss Wendy, how did you know?!]
Wendy answered honestly, without hiding anything: "When I died, I was a ghost for a while, and I saw you in the past."
"Even if that's the case... No! Why did you become a ghost and follow me?" Luo was a little upset, especially when he remembered the stupid things he did to that heart when he was a child. "And how long have you been following me?"
"Because I didn't know if you could be resurrected, and seeing you seemed so confident, I just wanted to see if you could do it." Wendy said innocently, "After I found out you couldn't, I went looking for Long..."
[Stop talking!] Thinking back to when he was at his wit's end, screaming "Resurrection!" into his heart, even howling in frustration because he felt so useless he couldn't revive Wendy, the now 23-year-old Law wanted to hang up the phone and find a place to calm down. Fortunately, in the midst of a slight collapse, he remembered his true purpose. [Miss Wendy! Anyway—did you hear about Doflamingo's auction of the Silence Fruit?]
"Yeah." Wendy nodded, but looked nonchalant. "But it doesn't matter. That fruit doesn't represent Rosinante."
Hearing this, Luo felt a little relieved, but his expression still showed some reluctance: [But that is also Mr. Corazon's relic...]
"No, no," Wendy continued, patiently correcting him. "Rosinante's legacy is you."
Wendy's thinking is actually very linear - the only thing that Rossinanti protected before his death was Luo, so his relic must also be Luo.
Crocodile, who was watching, glanced at her and was a little shocked - she was too good at sweet talk!
Although he was not very clear about the cause and effect of the matter, he roughly guessed what kind of interpersonal relationships and developments there were... It can only be said that this sentence was probably a fatal blow to the guy who called.
Hawkeye watched the development calmly - well, she definitely didn't think that much, but others might not.
Luo hadn't expected this. He froze for a moment, his expression a bit dazed. Coming to his senses, he lowered his head, hiding his expression in the shadow of his hat brim: [...Hmm.]
"So the devil fruit doesn't matter. It can't even catch fish!" Wendy said that and then continued to chat happily with Luo, "If you go to the Sabaody Archipelago, you will be very close to the Navy Headquarters. Do you want me to take you to see Rosinante's tomb? I have prepared the clothes and greeted Uncle Sengoku. I can take you there... Oh, by the way, let me show you my Victorian suit!"
Wendy said as she ran off, went to the closet to change her clothes, and then came back to continue asking him, "Look! I kept this set specially, and I'll take you to see it in this look when the time comes... Hmm? Luo, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"
Although it was a video call, Wendy still leaned over and tried to look at him.
【……I don't. 】
"So are you going to see Rocinante?"
「I originally… I originally wanted to wait until I avenged Mr. Corazon before…」
"This doesn't conflict with meeting Rosinante. You can go see him first, and then go again after you've taken your revenge."
[…Okay.] She responded subconsciously, then quickly realized, [But wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you, Miss Wendy…]
"I'll teleport using a wooden sign, it'll be quick. It's a deal then, contact me when you get to the Sabaody Archipelago!"
【……Um. 】
Crocodile, who had been watching the whole process, gradually frowned and fell into deep thought - wait, could it be that... Wendy Carter is actually very good at coaxing men?

The author has something to say: Luo belike——I have been using CPbe for ten years and there is still after-sales service... [burst into tears]
Time to start the next chapter! Let me think about whether to write about Tsukishima or ancient ruins (rubbing my hands)
