Chapter 381: Verification Successful
Chapter 381: Verification Successful
Soon, Law arrived at the place where Ryuunosuke was.
At this time, Ryuunosuke sat fishing on the Ship of Gods.
Truth be told, as Joy Boy and King of the Sea, his fishing skills were... laughably bad.
He could have controlled the hook directly, but doing so stripped away all the fun of fishing.
"You’re here, huh?"
"Come on up."
As soon as Law arrived, Ryuunosuke slowly pulled out another fishing rod and handed it to him.
Though filled with doubts, Law didn’t press for answers. With a quiet "Room," he warped himself beside Ryuunosuke, sat down, and began fishing.

An hour passed.
"Law, how much do you really know about your family?" Ryuunosuke suddenly asked, still watching his line.
"Honestly? Not much," Law replied with a hint of sadness. "All I know is the role I was given at home... and the name passed down to me."
It was a subject he rarely touched. Childhood trauma left scars, and Law had learned to hide them well. Even his crew never noticed. To them, their captain was an untouchable figure.
"So... do you know what that name actually means?" Ryuunosuke pressed.
The D. clan.
In this world, many still bore that name. Even Blackbeard Teach... though whether his bloodline was genuine or forged was debatable. Yet, for someone like Blackbeard to claim it at all, there had to be a reason.
"Are you talking about the D. clan?" Law asked quietly.
"I’ve only heard rumors. Nothing from my family elders. Just legends whispered on the seas. Captain... are those stories true?"
He looked at Ryuunosuke in disbelief.
The D. clan—called the natural enemies of God.
If that were true, why hadn’t he ever felt different? His power came not from his name, but from his Devil Fruit.
"It’s very likely true," Ryuunosuke admitted. "But I can’t say for certain yet. That’s why I asked you here—to test something."
He turned toward him, eyes sharp.
"Trafalgar D. Water Law. Let’s see if this ’D.’ carries something special within it."
From his coat, Ryuunosuke drew out the Green Stone of Infinity.
It was the same one that had once been in Garp’s possession—now entrusted to him.
"Is this... the essence of life?" Law’s eyes widened.
He’d seen something eerily similar before—back when Doflamingo had wielded it.
The aura was the same. One liquid, one solid. Could it be that the so-called "essence of life" came from stones like these?
"Not exactly... but try it," Ryuunosuke said. "See if you can absorb it."
He didn’t explain further. After all, knowing and not knowing what you’re swallowing made a world of difference.
"I see."
Without hesitation, Law tossed the stone into his mouth and swallowed.
A violent aura of life burst forth from his body. The air trembled with raw vitality. Law felt the surge ripple through his veins—far greater than anything he’d sensed before.
He didn’t know why the captain gave him such a gift, but he guessed it had to be tied to the secret of the D. clan. And besides—when the captain handed something to a crewmate, a crewmate accepted. Refusing would’ve been disrespectful.
Soon, the violent aura that flared like a storm was completely suppressed by Law.
Ryuunosuke’s eyes narrowed.
When he himself had absorbed it, he nearly failed to contain its power. Yet Law handled it with ease.
So his guess was right. The D. clan truly possessed a special physique.
What secrets were hidden in that bloodline? The old man must’ve known something...
"It seems we’ll need to trade information with him..." Ryuunosuke muttered.
Buuurp!
A sudden hiccup snapped him out of thought.
He turned his head and found the culprit—Law, looking embarrassed.
"Captain... I feel kinda full," Law said awkwardly. "But if it’s about the D. clan... what do you need me to do? I’ve got plenty of energy now."
Ryuunosuke nearly choked on his own breath. That wasn’t the point at all!
"...Not right now. I’ve already confirmed what I needed," Ryuunosuke sighed. "But tell me—are you sure you don’t know anything about the name you carry? Trafalgar D. Law?"
Law shook his head. "I really don’t. But if you want me to dig deeper, I do know one thing about the D. clan."
He smirked faintly.
"For example... your brother. Monkey D. Luffy."
Ryuunosuke froze. Then sighed.
Luffy?
If anyone expected that idiot to hold some great hidden knowledge, they were bound for disappointment.
