Celestial Dragons = Meat Pigs?

In the dark and quiet Dream Dimension, two figures suddenly appeared.

"Hmm? So it's just me? No wonder the agreed-upon gathering was suddenly moved up." Doflamingo laughed. "However, I'm truly flattered that someone as important as you summoned me here alone!"

Doflamingo appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually quite unsettled inside. He could still chat and laugh with Roy last time, but now he could feel a faint sense of pressure from Roy.

What does this mean? In less than half a month, Roy's strength has once again leaped forward, leaving him feeling powerless. Is it really a good idea to cooperate with such a monster? He was even worried that Roy would swallow him whole, but now he was in a bind and had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

"Not at all," Roy said insincerely, then added feigned concern, "The reason I invited you here, Doflamingo, is because I have some doubts that I hope you can help me resolve."

"F-F-F-F-W, this is truly rare. With your intelligence network, you actually need to ask me for help?" Doflamingo was genuinely surprised. Back when Roy first entered the Grand Line, he had pointed out Roy's Celestial Dragons identity. Coupled with Roy's subsequent experiences, this further convinced him that Roy must control a vast and extraordinary intelligence system, perhaps even extending to the Marine Headquarters, the Revolutionary Army, the Shichibukai, the Four Emperors, and even the World Government. Otherwise, his control over the overall situation would be inexplicable.

Roy didn't mince words and went straight to the point. "What I want to know is information about the Celestial Dragons."

Doflamingo's eyes widened for a moment, then quickly regained their focus. "Isn't it common knowledge that the Celestial Dragons are descendants of the 20... or perhaps 19 kings who established the World Government 800 years ago, and also..."

"There's no need to go into this outdated information," Roy interrupted directly. "As a Celestial Dragons, you should know some more obscure things, like why Celestial Dragons, who are even weaker than ordinary people, possess life force like giant beasts?"

"I didn't expect you to have noticed this already? No wonder you dared to Whitebeard hard time; most people wouldn't dare to have any ulterior motives towards Celestial Dragons." After a moment's thought, Doflamingo made his decision. "In that case, I really have no need to hide anything anymore."

Roy wasn't surprised by this. Ten days had passed since that battle, and anyone with even a little bit of inside information had already heard about the fight that had stirred up the sea, not to mention Doflamingo, the big boss of the Underworld.

"In most people's eyes, the Celestial Dragons are the masters of this world, or even, as they claim, the descendants of gods." Doflamingo chuckled sinisterly. "But the truth is, the Celestial Dragons are just puppets pushed to the forefront, or to put it bluntly, pigs to be harvested every now and then."

Seeing Roy's indifferent and knowing expression, Doflamingo continued, "So, their only purpose is to grow fat and reproduce. As for brains, having too many is just a burden."

"So, the lives of Celestial Dragons have some special uses?" Upon hearing Doflamingo's explanation, Roy felt no pity whatsoever, but rather an indescribable sense of smug satisfaction.

Of course, compared to ordinary people in the Pirate World, the Celestial Dragons are really nothing to be pitied. There are too many tragedies in this world, and most people spend their entire lives in suffering. The decadent life of the Celestial Dragons is already something that too many people envy, not to mention that the Celestial Dragons are the source of all evil.

"Perhaps, but this is just my guess." Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "In the legends of the Celestial Dragons, there has always been a rumor about National Treasures, which are the foundation for the Celestial Dragons to stand at the top of the world."

"I think this is quite believable. You know what kind of Celestial Dragons are. If they didn't have great power, they would probably have been wiped out in the annals of history long ago," Doflamingo said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"If this National Treasure truly exists, perhaps the life of Celestial Dragons is the key to unlocking it!"

"That's quite a bold guess. However, I still have some doubts. Those 19 kings who were able to establish World Government 800 years ago shouldn't have been fools. Didn't they consider this possibility?"

"Who knows? Perhaps the real power in the World Government' lies with the high-ranking Celestial Dragons. Ordinary Celestial Dragons are merely sacrificial offerings in their eyes. Or perhaps, the so-called National Treasures have undergone a transformation over this long period of time, evolving from requiring only the blood of Celestial Dragons to needing more and more of Celestial Dragons life energy."

"During these 800 years, did no Celestial Dragons discover all this, and did no one resist?" Roy asked doubtfully.

"Fufufu, that's why the Celestial Dragons are all so arrogant, conceited, and incredibly stupid. Those idiots who have received such distorted education are like people who have been sold out and are still counting the money for their masters. It's incredibly easy to fool them. Of course, in 800 years of history, there are always one or two clever people who, although unable to resist, still leave some clues. It was from the marks they left that I deduced all of this."

"That's all I know. If you want to know more, why don't you go and see the Holy Land Mary Geoise? There you'll find everything in this world, f***ing f***ing!"

Doflamingo's figure faded completely, clearly indicating that he had left this Dream Dimension, leaving Roy alone to ponder in this desolate realm.

"Interesting, really interesting, hahaha." Roy suddenly burst into laughter. "The Holy Land Mary Geoise? Perhaps we can take advantage of the quadrennial Reverie to control Cobra and infiltrate it. With my expertise in mental matters, apart from that unfathomable Imu, only Big Mom should be able to detect anything. We can't miss this opportunity."

"However, Doflamingo probably withheld some information from the story." Roy didn't think Doflamingo would dare to deceive him, but Doflamingo deliberately downplayed his presence among the Celestial Dragons, perhaps because he possessed deeper secrets. Otherwise, in the original story, those so-called important figures wouldn't have rushed to send assassins to kill Doflamingo after his defeat.

"However, there's no rush to tell you this so-called secret. Sooner or later, you'll tell me everything you know on your own!" Roy looked at the spot where Doflamingo had left, a sinister smile on his face.
