A bit of all three is probably right, he agrees, but who can say. Actually, no, he knows there are people who can say, but Sengoku never did divulge secrets beyond what was necessary, probably for Rosinante's own safety. And the elders surely know, but that's knowledge that will only be passed to their successors.
He appreciates that Will doesn't voice the rest of that question. It's enough to go off of, left as it is, and so he nods and focuses on the cigarette in his hand, smoldering away.
Well, so much for overcoming paranoia. With a snap of his fingers, he seals their conversation to the two of them, just in case anyone else were to walk by. It feels safer that way.
"That's actually the reason I broke some of my cover, back then. Hadn't said a word in years except to call back in to base, make sure Sengoku knew I was still alive. But I found out what Law was because I overheard him talking to the other kids, and had to tell him to keep quiet about it, hide that part of his history and name so Doflamingo wouldn't find out. My brother would've killed him. He'd take it as a direct threat to his own aspirations, knowing there was a kid like that around."
