Doflamingo's mouth twitched. Although he had long foreseen King's "ultimate move" through Observation Haki, seeing the normally cold and aloof King actually use a "summoning technique" still left him feeling as though his worldview had shattered.
Forget it. There were too many oddballs on the seas. Someone like King was already considered perfectly normal; it just clashed a little with his image.
Besides, Doflamingo had no more time to waste.
This was the Beasts Pirates' headquarters. After defeating Kozuki Oden, nearly all the pirates were in the Flower Capital, where they had just finished their victory banquet!
After sweeping the area with his Observation Haki, Doflamingo could sense at least several hundred Beasts Pirates members with the strength of pirates worth tens of millions!
Pirates capable of resisting Conqueror's Haki could no longer be treated as mere fodder. Once their numbers reached a certain point, they could threaten even figures at the level of the Four Emperors and Three Admirals. Fighting them would consume stamina and could even result in injuries.
If such fodder were truly useless, Kaido would not have painstakingly cultivated them. In reality, once ordinary soldiers reached a certain level of strength, they could influence even battles between Four Emperors.
Most importantly, Doflamingo had already sensed an incomparably powerful life force from the Tenshukaku in the Flower Capital, as though it had awakened.

It was not just Kaido. Everyone else in the Beasts Pirates
