A Rocky Road! Law and Corazon's Journey of Life! is the 703rd episode of the iconic anime series, One Piece. As the name suggests, this episode revolves around Law and Corazon's journey of life.
The episode starts with Law remembering his past when he was a kid. He was living with his family in North Blue, but their peaceful life was soon shattered when pirates attacked their home island, Flevance. The pirates were looking for the mineral, amber lead, which was abundant on the island. The mineral, however, had a lethal side effect that made people sick with a disease called Amber Lead Syndrome. Law's parents succumbed to the disease, and so did his sister, but Law was one of the few survivors.
Back in the present, Law is still recovering from the injuries he sustained while fighting Doflamingo's henchmen. Corazon, Law's caretaker, comes to check on him. Law asks Corazon to tell him more about his past, but Corazon refuses and tells Law that he's hiding something.
The scene changes, and we see a flashback of Corazon's past. He used to be a member of the Donquixote Pirates, led by none other than Doflamingo. However, Corazon despised violence and was only in the crew to spy on Doflamingo and gather intel for the government. Corazon's real name was revealed to be Rosinante, and he had a younger brother named Doflamingo.
Through a series of events, Corazon ends up fleeing from the Donquixote Pirates and meets Law, who was still a child at the time. Corazon takes Law under his care and decides to protect him from Doflamingo. In the present, Law is growing increasingly frustrated with Corazon's refusal to share more about his past, but Corazon insists that it's for Law's own good.
As Law recovers, the Straw Hat Pirates (Luffy's crew) are also making their way to Dressrosa, where Doflamingo holds absolute power. They face various obstacles along the way, including treacherous terrain and hostile enemies. However, the crew also bonds through the journey, and the camaraderie between them becomes even stronger.
The episode ends with Law and Corazon still at odds, but Law begins to understand the gravity of Corazon's situation. He realizes that Corazon isn't just hiding things to be difficult, but he's trying to protect Law from a dangerous man who has caused both of them immense pain. Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates are inching closer to their destination, ready to take on Doflamingo and put an end to his reign of terror.
Overall, A Rocky Road! Law and Corazon's Journey of Life! is a poignant episode that explores the histories of two complex characters, and sets the stage for an epic showdown between good and evil. The emotions run high, and there are several heart-wrenching moments that make this episode a must-watch for One Piece fans.
