Invitation

"Yay~ Hahaha~ What a frivolous brat, but the God like him!"

Enel heard their conversation from a great distance, which is why he came all the way to the port.

He had always had a favorable impression of those who respected the God.

"Let's talk about this at Las Noches!"

Seeing that the surrounding civilians were about to gather around and offer their concern, Cifer decisively tore through space.

In the blink of an eye, Barto followed Cifer and the others to the palace high in the sky.

"It's Cifer and the others back!"

Chopper pounced on him and hung around his neck.

Robin and Kuzan were engrossed in a game of chess when Nolan and Shirahoshi, wearing aprons, came out of the kitchen carrying plates of food.

The bear and Bonney, who had been playing and frolicking in the western part of the palace, also returned here.

All members of Las Noches gathered together.

"This... ah~ these are the seniors of Las Noches! So dazzling!"

"Someone like me, in my lifetime, actually..."

Looking at the idol group in front of him, Bartholomew felt as if he were surrounded by a bunch of shining suns, and his eyes were almost too bright to open.

He knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face once more.

"Captain Cifer, who is this person?"

Nolan looked at Barto, who was kneeling and crying, a stark contrast to his sharp-toothed appearance, and felt a sense of curiosity.

"He... well... it's a long story. Let him cry for a while first."

Cifer casually found a place to sit down, Doflamingo, not at all acting like an outsider, was the first to sit cross-legged on the ground.

"So, what do you plan to do with me?"

Mingo rested his chin on his hand and looked at Cifer.

On his way here, he knew that his forces would be taken over by Las Noches, leaving him essentially a lone commander.

Moreover, the fact that the other party brought him back here means that they already had a plan.

"My men are now also expanding their business in the Underworld, but I have many restrictions on them, and the road is not easy. You can guide them."

Although Bater has already extended its reach into the New World, people in the Underworld have as many things they can't do as he does.

Without a mentor and with so many rules and regulations in place, making money comes a little slower.

After all, Mingo is the biggest middleman in the Underworld, and he has long understood many things.

"Hmm~ Hehehehe~ So what can I get?"

Doflamingo asked the question.

The other party promised to save him, and now the debt is settled. He is a businessman, and now it's time to talk business.

"I will guarantee your safety, and also, when we conquer Mary Geoise in the future, I will let you personally kill a few Celestial Dragons."

"However, until then, you can only live like a commoner in Hachinosu. Of course, the commoners in Hachinosu are not as poor as those in Dressrosa."

Cifer pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and tossed it to Doflamingo.

Mingo fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

A moment later, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he let out an even more arrogant and demonic laugh.

"Using Hachinosu as my prison... But I like it, I like people like you!"

"Remember to send someone to bring me the latest newspaper on time; I don't want to miss out on such a wonderful world! Hahahaha!"

Mingo walked to the edge of Las Noches, gazing at the sky and sea, then pulled on a cloud and flew downwards.

"Is 'liking'... a confession? Is this what they call a man's...?"

"Shut up and eat."

Nolan, who was holding the dishes, belatedly looked in the direction Doflamingo had left. Before he could finish speaking, Cifer pinched his upper and lower lips.

What followed was a grand feast, which Barto accompanied throughout with tears in his eyes, and it was confirmed that he would become Lucci's subordinate.

Several more days passed.

Onigashima.

A burly man, standing 7 meters tall and possessing a colossal physique and a fierce expression, was pouring alcohol into his mouth, seemingly intent on drinking himself into oblivion.

"Mr. Kaido, we've found Jack. He was sent by Doflamingo."

A man dressed in a black leather jacket, whose entire head was covered by a mask except for his eyes, came up to him.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and behind him followed a group of subordinates carrying huge boxes.

"Damn Joker! Finally, news! Did he think he could be so arrogant just because he's by Black Winged Great Demon's side?"

After Kaido took a big gulp of sake from his gourd, he burst into tears like a child.

He knew everything about Dressrosa. Why didn't that despicable Doflamingo die there?

Jack had followed him since childhood, but this time he disappeared without a trace, and his Vivre Card had burned out a few days ago.

His capable and loyal subordinate had been sacrificed, and he wished he could kill Doflamingo right now.

"Open the box!"

Kaido slammed the gourd of wine onto the ground and ordered his men to open the huge chest.

"This... Lord Jin..."

His subordinates swallowed hard.

Even this All-Stars in front of me couldn't help but kill several of his subordinates when he saw what was inside the box, let alone Kaido!

"Open."

But they did not receive any mercy from this lord. King simply repeated Kaido's order, and they could only tremble as they pushed open the lid of the giant box.

"Jack ..."

Kaido stared at Jack in the box, who was now missing Jack ivory and only half intact, and fell silent.

"Mr. Kaido, and this too, was sent by that Black Winged Great Demon. Jack also died at his hands!"

King took out the letter that had been sent along with the box and handed it to Kaido.

"You want to take my head? You new-age brat, have someone prepare it for him... No! I'll grind him to dust!"

"Use his head to show the world what a true king is!"

Kaido picked up his spiked club and swung it fiercely, causing all his subordinates who were standing there to disappear.

"Cifer, someone outside wants to see you."

Just as Cifer was about to gather a few people to head to Onigashima, he suddenly received a Den Den Mushi) from Zephyr.

"For you to take the initiative to ask, you must be someone who isn't a small fry."

He sat calmly on the edge of Las Noches, looking down at the dense crowd below, with Enel crouching beside him.

"He is the son of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Western Emperors. He is said to be the head of the so-called 'Sweet General Star.' It seems he has something he wants to talk to you about."

Looking at the strangely shaped ship in front of him, Zephyr's Armament Haki was already ready, waiting for Cifer to speak before he made his move.

On the opposite boat, a man with a thick scarf wrapped around his neck, standing at least 5 meters tall, had a serious look in his eyes.
