Chapter 304: Monet's Plea
"Young master!" Monet and Sugar cried uncontrollably, with their hands shackled in Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs reaching desperately toward the figure, their fragile bodies crawling on the ground as they tried to reach Doflamingo.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Don Quixote Doflamingo, was finally dead, his soul destroyed.
His mother had died early, his father and younger brother killed by his own hand, and with the help of his four vicious subordinates, he had established the Don Quixote family, only to have it completely wiped out by the Dawn Pirates.
The only regret was that the kind-hearted father and son, Corazon and Rosinante, never received redemption.
Although revenge had been served, something that should have been a cause for celebration, Law did not think so. He felt lighter, but the weight on his heart had not completely disappeared.
'Corazon, I wonder if this outcome will make you happy...'
While Law was lost in thought, the others quietly watched Doflamingo's hand. The pear in his palm slowly began to change, the smooth surface revealing a pattern as the yellow peel faded into white.
Bepo exclaimed, "The fruit... it's turning into a Devil Fruit!"
"Be quiet."
Bepo lowered his head apologetically. "Sorry."
"I see," Law calmly reflected. "When a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit has a certain probability of reincarnating into a nearby fruit."
"Yeah," Eric picked up the Line Line Fruit and looked at Kyros and Viola . "Please keep this secret."
"I... I understand," Viola said, shrinking her shoulders. She was a Devil Fruit user herself and feared that the Dawn Pirates would take her power if they knew.
Kyros nodded. "I understand. Thank you so much for helping us clear out the cancer that was the Don Quixote family in Dressrosa."
Eric tossed Kyros a bean.
"What's this?" he caught it in his hand.
"If you trust me, eat it."
Kyros chewed and swallowed it. After the bean entered his stomach, his lost left leg immediately healed.
"What... What is this?!" Kyros and Viola 's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at this scene.
Kyros sincerely thanked him. "Thank you so much for the medicine!"
"That's great, Brother Kyros ," Viola also thanked him sincerely. "Thank you, Mr. Eric , for your help!"
Even Law was intrigued by the medicine that could instantly restore limbs. He asked Eric for a bean, hoping to uncover the secret of the magic beans. After all, as a doctor, creating a medicine that could cure all diseases was every doctor's dream.
Eric didn't pay attention to the Tontatta clan gathered around Mansherry. With their gullible personalities, making a promise to them was like saying nothing at all.
At this moment, however, the Tontatta clan didn't pay attention to the change in the fruit in Doflamingo's hand. No one noticed the left leg that had been restored, as they were busy with an intense and noisy romantic argument.
Mansherry, with tear-filled eyes, pouted and whined, "Leo, I've always been so scared, and now you've finally come to save me."
Leo pounded his chest and promised, "Even if the princess is spoiled, I will come to save you!"
"Hmm?!" The pitiful little princess instantly turned into a monster and punched Leo in the face. "I'm not spoiled at all!"
The nearby Tontatta clan members, watching the bickering couple show public affection, sighed, "Still the same as always."
After thanking Eric , Kyros turned and left with Viola to go meet King Riku and bring back his daughter Rebecca.
Now, only the members of the Dawn Pirates, Law, Monet, and the two sisters, Sugar and Monet, remained next to Doflamingo's body.
"What should we do with these two?" Law asked emotionlessly. "Monet and Sugar are Doflamingo's loyal followers. Letting them live would only create future problems."
"Monsters!" Miku , who hadn't experienced many battles, obviously disagreed. She was just an ordinary person. Even though she despised men, she hadn't done anything as extreme as massacring them after becoming an elf.
Law argued, "You don't understand, they..."
"I won't let you bully them!" Miku moved closer to Eric , tightly wrapping her arm around his, using her soft, undulating charm to tempt Eric . "Please let them live. I'll make sure they listen to me!"
Eric smiled and stroked Miku 's violet hair. "Leaving them around is too dangerous. I'll think of a good way to punish them."
Eric , of course, wouldn't let them go. In the future, Caesar and secretary Monet would conduct experiments in Punk Hazard, experimenting with the gigantification of children's bodies.
Sugar would enslave thousands of Dressrosa residents, forcing them to work day and night in hard labor. The mountain of garbage made from toy scraps was no different from a mountain of corpses and blood.
These things were not for Miku to know, and Kurumi conveniently stepped forward to pull Miku away. "Come on, we still haven't toured the sights of Dressrosa. It's known as an island of 'love and passion,' and the young women here are famous for their seductive dancing."
Miku , with her childish personality, was instantly distracted, and members who were younger like Porche , Perona, Wendy, and Kuina were also sent by Eric to go tour Dressrosa.
Law spoke, "They won't grow if this keeps up. Only by experiencing the harsh realities will they..."
"Law." Eric interrupted. "Children should have a happy, carefree childhood. Once they step on the 'Brave Ship,' they won't be able to escape the World Government's bounty, nor can they escape the Navy's pursuit."
"At least I'm responsible for their lives. Until they come of age, they should stay away from these dark things, and I'll help them maintain an innocent heart—this is the captain's responsibility."
These words deeply touched Kurome and Akame . If they had met Eric when they were young...
[Kurome' favorability reached max level, cannot be increased.]
[Akame ' favorability increased, bond level unchanged.]
"..." Law sighed. "I'll go along with the captain's wishes."
Law didn't really dislike this fool. After all, wasn't Corazon also a fool like this?
Kurome controlled Doflamingo's movements, and the disemboweled Doflamingo stood up straight, his towering three-meter height giving off an intimidating presence. Even Law momentarily thought, 'This guy's not dead yet?'
Only when Doflamingo's intestines dangled and his sunglasses shattered did they realize that this guy was already a corpse.
Monet's voice was hoarse from crying, and Sugar, in her young state, had fainted from crying.
Monet understood that even with their master dead, the Dawn Pirates would continue to exploit and desecrate his body.
With a hoarse voice, Monet pleaded, "Please, Eric , let the young master be buried peacefully."
Eric responded, "When King Riku begged Doflamingo not to control him and his army to slaughter the people of Dressrosa, did Doflamingo agree?"
