"Being underestimated, huh!" Tokikake's expression turned rather ugly.
"Ooh, as expected of a rebellious Celestial Dragon. How scary." Kizaru was as flippant as ever.
As for Gion, she was far more straightforward. Her face frosted over, and with a flash of her blade, she sent a Flying Slash cleaving toward Doflamingo.
