章節 144: Chapter 143 The first question
How could Law appear in the QnA session?
Why him?
Doflamingo suddenly recalled the previous QnA sessions, where the questions were all related to the participants, encompassing both the past and the future.
Could it be... Doflamingo's face contorted in an unpleasant expression.
In an instant, Doflamingo felt like he had been hit by a train. At that moment, he could empathize with the feelings of Captain Nezumi, who was already dead, Teach, who had been exile by Whitebeard, and Crocodile, who was currently imprisoned in Impel Down.
No way... Doflamingo thought.
At this moment, the Heart Pirates also noticed their captain in the live broadcast.
"Eh!!!"
"Why is the captain there?!"
...
Trafalgar Law looked around in confusion and then saw Luke in front of him. His pupils suddenly contracted.
He immediately realized his current situation.
He was afraid that he had been pulled into the QnA session that had appeared several times before.
Law tried his best to remain calm and not show any signs of panic. He knew that his current appearance was being watched by people from all over the world.
In other words, people from all over the world, the Marines, pirates, and that man, Doflamingo, should also be watching him.
Law suppressed his inner nervousness and put on a nonchalant expression.
However, soon his expression changed because, after adapting to the environment, he remembered the most important and enticing aspect of this QnA session—the reward!
However, what he desired was not those miraculous potions, but resurrection!
The opportunity to resurrect someone after completing the questions. He had to seize this opportunity.
As the fiery passion ignited in his eyes, Law turned to Luke, causing the Heart Pirates crew to witness an expression they had never seen on Law's calm face before.
Luke understood his thoughts instantly with a single glance at his demeanor.
With a slight smirk, Luke turned his gaze towards the audience in front of the screen and began the customary introduction.
"Welcome, everyone, to this live QnA Broadcast. Today, we have a special guest joining us, the captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar D. Law, who has made a name for himself in the Grand Line and is expected to become one of the supernovas in the pirate world this year."
"What interesting and valuable questions will I ask him? If you want to find out, stay tuned for the upcoming QnA."
Upon hearing Luke's introduction, the crowd wore expressions of confirmation. It seemed that their speculation was correct. This guy was indeed a pirate, and it explained why he had saved Luffy during the Summit War.
Supernova—a term used for pirates whose bounties exceeded 100 million berries. It was a testament to their strength and potential. Many of pirates had yet to reach that milestone. .
Becoming a supernova proved that one's strength and potential were extraordinary. In the future, they wondered what kind of story and future this Law would have.
The audience eagerly looked at Law on the live screen, with many secretly hoping that he wouldn't turn out to be like Blackbeard. If he resembled someone like Luffy, they could accept him to some extent. For ordinary people, pirates were not considered good people, so the fewer such individuals, the better.
Law turned to Luke and replied, "I have already explained the rules before, so there is no need for me to repeat them, right?"
"Yes," Law nodded.
"In that case, let the QnA Live Broadcast officially begin. We have ten questions in total. Now, let's start with the first one."
1stQuestion: "What was the cause of Trafalgar D. Law's hometown, Flevance, being destroyed?"
"You have one minute, and the timer starts now."
The Five Elder initially couldn't recall who this person was, but when they heard the name Flevance, their expressions suddenly changed.
While others might not be aware of this event, they definitely were. After all, it was their orders that led to the destruction of that kingdom. They had gone to great lengths to keep this matter hidden. Only a few knew the truth, while the majority remained oblivious.
Flevance, also known as the White City incident, had become one of the many cases that the World Government concealed.
However, to their surprise, this Law turned out to be a survivor of the White City incident, and he even appeared on this QnA show... The faces of the Five Elder turned dark
This is bad!
The World Government's reputation was about to be torn apart once again by Luke.
Thinking of this, they instinctively used the word "again," but they had lost count of how many times Luke had already shredded the World Government's reputation.
If they were to seriously consider it, the Five Elder began to doubt whether the World Government had any reputation left.
If the World Government lost its reputation, the common people would no longer hold them in awe.
In other words, this generation of "sheep" was not easy to shepherd.
That was the reason they had always strived to maintain the World Government's image. They believed it was worth doing whatever it took, even if they were the ones responsible for the reasons.
They had initially thought that these matters would be suppressed and eventually fade away into the dust of history, just like in the past.
But they never expected Luke to suddenly emerge and expose these hidden secrets, one by one.
The Five Elder found themselves breathing rapidly. "Another troublesome situation!" they thought.
"Another person whose hometown was destroyed?"
This thought suddenly crossed the minds of people watching the screens worldwide.
They remembered that the last time a hometown was destroyed was Nico Robin's Ohara. It seemed to have been annihilated by the World Government's Buster Call, followed by the massacre carried out by Admiral Akainu, leaving Robin as the sole survivor.
So, could it be that the person on the live broadcast was also a survivor?
Could it be another one of the World Government's doings?
The corners of people's mouths twitched. However, what surprised them was that they no longer felt surprised by anything the World Government did.
Previously, the World Government and the Marines were regarded as embodiments of justice and order. The Tenryuubito were considered superior beings, to be observed from afar and not to be approached. Standing in their presence was seen as contaminating the air around them. Otherwise, the Tenryuubito wouldn't wear fishbowl helmets to isolate themselves from the common folk.
However, after witnessing the World Government's numerous despicable actions, the disappointments caused by the Marines, and the contemptuous attitude of the Tenryuubito towards civilians, they had abandoned all those illusions.
The World Government was just a kingdom, the Marines were merely royal soldiers, and the Tenryuubito were nothing more than nobles. They held no mysterious allure; they were just a bunch of people who put a false front to deceive them.
The dirty deeds that royal nobles were capable of, the World Government had done countless times, and often even surpassed pirate.
If they guessed correctly, Law's hometown was most likely another one of the World Government's "masterpieces."
Helpless and curious, people looked at Law on the live broadcast, wondering what new revelation would taint their ears.
Sengoku's expression turned grim. He understood this matter well and gazed at Law on the screen with complex eyes.
It seemed that the World Government's past sins were finally catching up with them.
He had always wanted to manage the Marines with pride and shine the light of justice on the world.
But why, why were the Marines gradually declining... Sengoku's expression was filled with deep frustration.
On the live screen, Law's excitement dissipated upon hearing Luke words, replaced by anger, hatred, and murderous intent.
People from around the world saw the unrestrained hatred in Law's eyes and instantly realized that there must be a shocking revelation behind it.
Law gritted his teeth and said, "Answer: My hometown, Flevance, was originally a prosperous country. The entire nation's ground and trees were as pure and flawless as snow and ice, earning it the name White City. All of this prosperity was due to a unique mineral called Amber Lead, which was found underground in Flevance. This Amber Lead had various applications, from being used in the production of utensils, paints, condiments, and cosmetics, to even being utilized for creating weapons, such as lead bullets. The abundance of Amber Lead became a major pillar of Flevance's economy, attracting buyers from all over the world and making the country wealthy. However, what the people of Flevance and the world didn't know at the time was that Amber Lead was toxic to the human body!"
Law's words shook many who heard them.
Amber Lead was toxic to the human body?
Then why were utensils, paints, condiments, cosmetics—things that came into direct contact with or were consumed by humans—made from it?
Panic swept through the hearts of people worldwide.
Because many older individuals had experienced the era of Amber Lead products.
Some even had pristine, snow-white Amber Lead utensils displayed in their homes!
Those were symbols of wealth back then, and their presence indicated the family's status.
The rare treasures that hadn't been produced since the destruction of White City, Flevance, had already started to gain collectible value.
Many people suddenly realized that they had used Amber Lead utensils for their meals just the day before, and their faces turned dark.
They had used them for so many years, and now someone was saying it was toxic?!
Why didn't anyone inform them about this before?!
How could they not have known and continued using them for so many years?
Suddenly, they remembered a past incident related to White City—the Amber Lead Syndrome.
It was said to be an infectious disease. Those affected would gradually turn pale, from their hair to their skin, and even their internal organs, and eventually succumb to excruciating pain and death.
There was no cure for this terminal illness. It was said that the people of Flevance perished from it.
At the time, it caused panic worldwide. Fortunately, with the destruction of Flevance, the disease disappeared as well.
Amber Lead was toxic, and now, with the thought of the Amber Lead Syndrome, many people entertained a bold idea.
Perhaps the true cause of the Amber Lead Syndrome was this Amber Lead itself?!
This idea struck fear into many people. If that were the case, they themselves might be at risk of contracting this disease.
Many people started to feel uneasy, and some even experienced phantom pains in their limbs.
They stared at Law, wanting to know more about Amber Lead.
