Influential nobles from both affiliated and non-affiliated countries arranged to secure a position in the newly established NEO Navy.
But these were still manageable; it was expected.
What truly annoyed Zephyr was that the World Government had indeed planted spies, and they were among the recruits who performed well. If everything went as expected, these individuals would be promoted to officers, and as the first recruits of the NEO Navy, they would inevitably rise to higher positions in the future.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Due to this situation, Zephyr tightened the scrutiny of undercover agents and began to establish a spy and intelligence agency within the NEO Navy to counter the World Government's espionage tactics.
...
Another crumbling sound echoed within Dressrosa's castle.
Members of the Donquixote Family felt a chill down their spines.
They witnessed Vergo's exposure outside.
This was truly disastrous.
The young master had arranged for Vergo to go undercover in the Marines over ten years ago, and he had risen to the position of Vice-Admiral. Yet now, his identity was exposed without having achieved anything.
Anyone would be furious in this situation.
Years of effort had gone to waste.
Now, they could only hope that Vergo could escape after his cover was blown. Otherwise, even if the young master wanted to rescue him, it would be difficult.
This incident was a severe blow to both the Marines and the government.
Sengoku immediately sent Blueno to the G5 base to retrieve Vergo, hoping to bring him back safely.
Doflamingo heaved several sighs before calming down. So far, his childhood's tragic experiences had been exposed, tarnishing his reputation. Now, he had lost an inside man in the Marine Headquarters.
However, this was only the fourth problem. There were still six more to come. What would the next six be?!
Doflamingo's mood worsened to the extreme. He stared intently at Law and Rosinante on the live broadcast, his gaze fixed on Rosinante's face.
"You've gone too far!" Doflamingo's temples bulged, his face turning dark and filled with killing intent.
...
After revealing Vergo's identity, Law suddenly felt a sense of revenge.
He had seen the news about Vergo becoming a Vice-Admiral when he was arranged by Doflamingo to join the Marines.
Now, he was exposing this fact to the whole world, shattering Doflamingo's plans that had been in motion for over a decade.
If the Marines can capture Vergo, it would be considered revenge for what he did to Corazon.
But this is just the beginning. Law will one day take down Doflamingo to avenge what happened in the past!
After hearing Law's answer, Luo Ke responded, "Correct.
Now, listen to the next question.
Question: Who killed Rosinante?
You have one minute, and the timer starts now."
After Vergo discovered Rosinante's identity above, almost everyone realized that Rosinante's situation would not be good.
However, they didn't expect Rosinante to be killed.
No wonder they had never heard of Rosinante's name in the Marines. After all, he was Warlord of the Sea Donquixote Doflamingo's adopted brother. How could he be unknown?
Unless he died young...
There was no doubt that in this situation, if Rosinante was killed, the culprit could only be one person.
It was highly likely to be Doflamingo.
Doflamingo killing his own younger brother was shocking to hear.
But when they remembered that Doflamingo had even killed his own father, it didn't seem so surprising to kill a brother.
At this moment, Sengoku's face turned red, his eyes bulged, and bloodshot veins spread across his face. He seemed like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.
The surrounding Marines looked at Sengoku.
They could understand Sengoku's current state of mind. Sengoku didn't have any children, and Rosinante was like a son to him, treated as his own.
But now, at such a young age, he was dead. How could Sengoku, as a father, not be angry?
What made him even more furious was that the person who killed his son was right in front of him. They had even sat at the same table during the meeting to recruit the Seven Warlords of the Sea, discussing matters together.
If Sengoku had been sure at that time that Doflamingo killed Rosinante, forget eating, he would have eaten him alive!
At this moment, the Marines suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the scene. It was as if they had seen something similar not long ago.
It was during the previous live quiz.
Just like how Zephyr reacted when he heard about the murder of his family.
What made it even more ridiculous was that the person who killed Zephyr's student became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
And now, the person who killed Sengoku's adopted son also became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This scene was damn similar.
It couldn't be said that it was exactly the same, but there was no difference.
This made them even more worried.
Zephyr couldn't accept the result and almost went astray. Now, he had left the Marines and established the NEO Navy.
And now, Sengoku, as Fleet Admiral, faced a similar situation. In this situation, what choices would Sengoku make?
Would he accept the situation?
Or would he explode because of it?
The surrounding Marines looked at Sengoku anxiously, unsure of what decision he would make.
Sengoku's current mood was terrible. He felt a burning fire in his heart.
Although he was angry, Sengoku still sensed the change in the atmosphere around him.
After all, he wasn't Zephyr. He didn't suffer three consecutive blows like Zephyr did, and Rosinante had been dead for over ten years. He had suspected that Doflamingo was responsible, but he had no evidence. Now, his suspicion was confirmed, but it was only a confirmation of what he had already guessed.
He was mentally prepared and not as unprepared as Zephyr, which led to his breakdown.
Sengoku suppressed his inner anger and planned to confront Doflamingo after the quiz broadcast ended.
But before that, he needed to talk to the Five Elders.
Regardless, Doflamingo was still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, protected by the government. That protection wouldn't waver because of Sengoku's will. If he wanted to take action against Doflamingo, he needed the Five Elders to remove Doflamingo's status as a Warlord of the Sea.
Then, he could rightfully punish Doflamingo.
Therefore, the attitude of the Five Elders was crucial. However, when he thought about the Five Elders, their attitude toward Doflamingo, and Doflamingo's status as a Celestial Dragon, Sengoku's expression worsened. This matter might not develop as he had hoped.
Sengoku controlled himself, which temporarily relieved the other Marines. However, they didn't completely relax.
Because it was only temporary, and in the end, it depended on how this matter would be resolved.
They just hoped it wouldn't develop in a direction they didn't want.
With Zephyr already gone, if something happened to Fleet Admiral Sengoku now, the changes in the Marines would be significant.
Garp looked at Sengoku with some concern. He didn't expect that they would all face such situations successively.
It started with him. Because of Ace's situation, he almost clashed with Akainu. Sengoku restrained him and prevented Marine Headquarters from turning into a battlefield.
Then it was Zephyr. Zephyr rebelled against the Marines and stood up against the World Government. Garp also tried to control the situation, but he failed, and Zephyr escaped.
Now, it was Sengoku's turn. This was quite a situation. The two people who maintained stability in the past were now facing their own crises. What should he do?
Garp furrowed his brow, contemplating what he should do. Should he restrain Sengoku and prevent him from doing something dangerous? Or should he, like during the Summit War, press Sengoku's head to the ground and make him calm down?
Garp's gaze swept over Sengoku's back of the head, as if looking for a place to strike.
In the end, Garp gave up on his thoughts. He would figure it out when the time came. If Sengoku really lost control, he would find a way to stop him. But maybe he didn't need to stop him. After all, Sengoku was an intelligent strategist, and intelligence was not only about wisdom but also about rationality. It wasn't Garp's place to make Sengoku calm down.
...
At this moment, on the screen, Law lowered his head after hearing the question, his face hidden in the shadows. After a while, he looked up at Rosinante and said, "Answer: It was done by Doflamingo."
