Chaos Everywhere
After assigning tasks to the Charlotte Family, Vegapunk led his men to set off to find Charlotte Linlin.
In addition to Hancock, Vegapunk also brought Katakuri and Smoothie from the Charlotte Family this time, hoping to persuade Charlotte Linlin to surrender, although Vegapunk thought the possibility was slim.
Even though they were very dissatisfied with their mother, blood is thicker than water, and Katakuri and Smoothie were prepared to give it their all. Surrendering was better than being beaten down.
Vegapunk can teleport within a planet through Wormhole using his Electromagnetic Ability, Hancock also possesses Space-Time Ninjutsu. Although she doesn't use it often, the two of them actually travel at an incredibly fast speed. After adjusting the Space Gate a few times, they quickly arrived in Dressrosa.
This was because the two of them had never been here before and needed to try to locate the location multiple times; otherwise, they could have arrived in no time.
Having experienced the shifting of stars and the changing of time and space, Charlotte Smoothie and Katakuri undoubtedly became more respectful. This mobility combined with this combat power made their deterrent effect increase almost exponentially.
It can be said that if Vegapunk wanted to hunt down someone on the high seas, that person would be doomed no matter where they fled.
"We've finally arrived... This is Dressrosa... But what's going on here?"
Charlotte Smoothie glanced at the still-smoking city... or rather, the city ruins, with a strange expression.
Dressrosa, known as the land of love and toys, is a famous tourist destination in the New World. It has its own unique food and scenery, as well as gladiatorial arenas and various toys that are not found in other countries. Charlotte Smoothie has actually been there a few times.
The scale of Four Emperors- level pirates has far surpassed that of ordinary countries, and they no longer make a living by robbing. As Sweet Four Generals, Charlotte Smoothie actually has quite a lot of time at her disposal.
In addition, given her personal interests as a woman, it's perfectly normal for her to travel to Dressrosa. As long as she doesn't bring her own fleet, even Doflamingo would ignore Charlotte Smoothie.
Charlotte Smoothie remembered the last time she came here: the scenery was beautiful and picturesque, the people on the street were all smiling, and the whole city was prosperous and peaceful.
Now... are we at war with some pirate crew?
No, while the Donquixote Family's strength may not be comparable to the Four Emperors, they are still among the top of the second tier in the New World. In addition, Doflamingo, the Doflamingo, is very good at dealing with people and would never provoke an opponent he cannot defeat.
Therefore, the possibility of Dressrosa being invaded by a pirate crew is actually very small. On the contrary, if his mother really is here... then the most likely thing is that his mother has gone crazy here!
Thinking of this, Charlotte Smoothie and Katakuri... were not in a hurry at all. They slowly glanced at Vegapunk and asked:
"Sir, have you now pinpointed our mother's exact location?"
These two weren't in a hurry, of course. Dressrosa wasn't their territory anyway, and besides, they had that terrifying Hancock following them. So what if their mother went crazy?
Anyway, as pirates, they have no sympathy. Dressrosa is unlucky, so what? Haven't they destroyed enough kingdoms by their own mothers?
"I think there's no need for me to pinpoint the exact location!"
Vegapunk rolled his eyes and pointed to the liveliest place in Dressrosa —where terrifying howls, the rumbling of buildings being razed, and the sounds of explosions and battles were echoing.
"The Donquixote Family's resistance is pretty good, they haven't been wiped out by Mom yet?"
Charlotte Smoothie said with some surprise.
"Don't underestimate that Heavenly Yaksha... The Donquixote Family might even have an advantage over our Charlotte Family when it comes to Devil Fruit!"
Katakuri spoke calmly.
Although the Charlotte Family can be considered the leader of the entire dark world, theoretically, the quantity and quality of Devil Fruit they have acquired should be even greater than those of the Donquixote Family.
However, in terms of connections, the Charlotte Family cannot compare to the Donquixote Family. After all, the Heavenly Yaksha were originally Celestial Dragons and had intricate connections with the World Government, which gave them a natural advantage in collecting valuable items.
In addition, due to Charlotte Linlin's own preferences, many of the Devil Fruit collected by the Charlotte Family are related to food or cooking, which undoubtedly has a great influence on the composition of Devil Fruit User in the Charlotte Family.
Under normal circumstances, even some strange and unusual Devil Fruit abilities wouldn't have a significant impact on Charlotte Linlin. However, when Charlotte Linlin goes berserk, it's hard to say what will happen.
Charlotte Linlin's life may not be in danger, but it's possible to keep her trapped. Of course, it won't last long, since keeping such a crazed monster would definitely take a toll on the Devil Fruit User.
At this moment, in the chaotic heart of the battlefield in Dressrosa, a plump, bespectacled middle-aged Big Mom was panting heavily, sweat dripping from her forehead.
She was gathering wisps of pink mist in her hands, which she kept throwing at the monster in front of her. The terrifying monster would sometimes turn into a distorted work of art, and sometimes it would turn back into Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors!
"Damn it! How could she break free from my Art Fruit?!"
Finally, the Big Mom, Jora from the Donquixote Family, couldn't help but speak up. She felt like she was about to collapse from exhaustion. Did she really think that using Devil Fruit powers didn't require physical strength?
"Those who have cultivated Haki to its limit possess a formidable resistance to Devil Fruit abilities thanks to the massive amount of Haki within their bodies... However, this is the first time I've seen someone this powerful..."
Standing beside Jora, a bald old man with bulging veins on his head and wearing reading glasses spoke solemnly.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks! Hurry up and help deal with this monster!"
Dealing with this monster? Lao G glanced at Charlotte Linlin, then at himself...
Uh, with my skinny arms and legs, if I rush up there, won't Charlotte Linlin eat me alive?
Although Lao G is very confident in his strength and has a brave personality, even a world-class boxing champion wouldn't have the confidence to challenge a Tyrannosaurus Rex from Jurassic Park!
As for the other executives, Diamante Trebol, who were closest to Doflamingo at the time, had already been defeated. Gladius wanted to confront Charlotte Linlin head-on, but he was instantly turned into a cloud of Blood Mist. The explosion, which was done with all his might, didn't even scratch Charlotte Linlin.
Señor Pique, who can travel underground, took advantage of the chaos to abduct the Young Master, who is currently undergoing emergency treatment; it is unknown whether he can be saved.
Monet the Snow Woman, tried to freeze Charlotte Linlin with her Logia abilities, but if Charlotte Linlin hadn't been out of her mind during her madness and hadn't failed to use Armament Haki, she would probably be Monet- chan by now.
"If all else fails, maybe we could let Sugar try...maybe we can turn her into a toy?" Lao G said, frowning.
Sugar is currently under the protection of Buffalo and Baby 5. The two of them are of average fighting ability, so it doesn't matter whether they come or not. That's why they are sent to protect Sugar, who is the most important person in Dressrosa right now.
Otherwise... Charlotte Linlin is already a headache enough, if Sugar's controlled toys were to return to normal, then the entire Donquixote Family could be declared doomed.
Even now, it's hard to say whether the Donquixote Family can survive this crisis!
Putting everything else aside, if Doflamingo doesn't survive, the entire Donquixote Family will immediately collapse completely!
If Charlotte Linlin continues to cause trouble like this, the Donquixote Family will be worn down by this monster unless they give up Dressrosa!
"Should we call Sugar? But... Young Master said that Sugar is strictly forbidden from appearing in such dangerous situations without his orders!"
Jora hesitated for a moment before saying that the leader of the Donquixote Family and several high-ranking executives were not around, and she and Lao G could only be considered mid-level executives, so they had no way to command key figures like Sugar.
"Go and call Sugar, and tell him it's my order!"
A shrill voice sounded behind them, and a huge stone face appeared on the ground:
"This guy, this bastard who hurt the Young Master, I'll deal with him!"
While shouting in a high-pitched voice, Pica, one of the four executives of the Donquixote Family and Devil Fruit User, gradually revealed his huge stone face.
With a thunderous roar, the earth trembled, and a gigantic stone giant slowly crawled out:
"I've been integrated into the stones beneath Dressrosa! Now, I will not lose to anyone in terms of power! Not even the Four Emperors!"
"Oh dear, it seems the battle is getting even more intense now!"
"Well, it would be naive to think that just being big is enough to beat your mother!"
Charlotte Smoothie and Katakuri gazed at the stone giant standing in the distance and discussed the matter at a leisurely pace.
Although they knew that a fierce battle was taking place in the distance that had caused heavy losses to Dressrosa, neither Vegapunk, Hancock, nor the two Charlottes seemed to be in a hurry, and they still strolled over there at a leisurely pace.
On the other hand, Doflamingo, whose body was wrapped in bandages and whose head had been almost flattened, finally regained consciousness.
Although his nose was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and he was drooling, Doflamingo's mind was still quite clear.
"Pique, what's going on? Is that monster woman still going crazy?"
Dressed in baby clothes and wearing sunglasses, looking almost freakish, Pique nodded:
"Everyone is trying their best to stop this monster... but unfortunately, nothing has been done."
"In addition..."
Pique paused for a moment, unsure whether he should report the Donquixote Family's losses, but who exactly was Doflamingo?
Even though Pique didn't say a word, he knew perfectly well what was going on. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his previously healed wound reopened, staining the gauze red. He looked like a starving ghost.
"Tell me, who in the family has sacrificed their lives?"
"Diamante, Trebol, and Gladius are all already..."
"Fufufufufufu... Hahahaha... Good, this is fantastic! Charlotte Linlin! The Charlotte Family!"
"Unexpectedly, over the years, the Navy, those underground forces, and various pirate crews haven't done anything to our Donquixote Family. Instead, it's this crazy woman who has caused us such heavy losses!"
"My family will not have died in vain! Even if I turn Dressrosa to ashes, I will never let you go, Charlotte Linlin!"
Taking a long breath, Doflamingo looked at Pique and said coldly:
"Pique, bring me the Den Den Mushi that can contact the Navy!"
Pique paused slightly, then looked at Doflamingo:
"Young Master, are you planning to..."
"That's right... Now, the only option is for the Navy to enter!"
"A Four Emperors who's gone mad and whose injuries haven't fully healed... that's enough to warrant the intervention of Marine Admiral!"
Doflamingo's lips curled into a sinister smile. Normally, he would never want Marine Admiral to come to Dressrosa, since Dressrosa has a lot of dirt on its people, and if it were to be exposed, even Doflamingo would be in trouble.
But this is not the time to consider these issues. Compared to Dressrosa, Doflamingo is more concerned about his subordinates.
Besides, after the Marine Admiral and the Four Emperors fight here, it's hard to say whether Dressrosa will even exist anymore!
"Alright, since this is your choice, Young Master."
Pique's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he still took the Den Den Mushi.
"Hello, is this Fleet Admiral Sengoku? I have some important news to report to your navy..."
Almost all the members of the Donquixote Family were trying to find a way to deal with Charlotte Linlin, but one outlier in the Donquixote Family took advantage of this opportunity to come to the palace dungeon.
The entire palace had been destroyed by Charlotte Linlin and was now completely reduced to ruins. Violet, who had arrived at these ruins, was trying her best to locate and search for the entrance to the dungeon.
"It should be here! Damn it, the entrance has been sealed off!"
The hot dancer made a circle with her fingers and placed it over her eyes. Relying on the X-ray vision of the Glint-Glint Fruit, she finally managed to find the buried entrance.
However, Violet then had another worry. Although she also possessed considerable fighting power, she relied almost entirely on her Devil Fruit abilities. Her physical strength, while not terrible, was only mediocre.
Clearing out the rubble that is burying the entrance is not entirely impossible, but it will take a long time and a lot of effort.
