The prize was in place

"Dover! We don't even know who's behind her! We can't let her leave so easily!" Diamante said, staring intently at Violet.

"You bastard! If you don't let her go, my head will roll!" Doflamingo roared.

At that moment, Trebol and Diamante noticed that Doflamingo had a blade resting against his neck!

But behind the blade, where it connects to the hilt, there was no one, only complete darkness!

It was as if the knife had emerged from the darkness!

Seeing this, everyone fell silent. Even Violet was caught off guard; she hadn't even realized when the knife had appeared at Doflamingo's neck!

However, the knife gave Violet more confidence, so she turned and walked towards the door!

Diamante glared angrily at Violet, but in the end, he had no choice!

He had no choice but to step back and make way for the other person!

Violet stopped at the doorway, and before leaving, she said one last thing, "You probably know where that Devil Fruit is going to be used, right?"

With that, she stepped back and disappeared into the Royal Palace!

Sometime later, the blade that had been pressed against Doflamingo's body disappeared!

Doflamingo spread his arms and sprawled his entire body on the sofa behind him.

"Fufufufufu!"

A burst of laughter reached Torrebal and Diamante's ears!

These two executives, who had followed Doflamingo for a long time, could naturally hear the anger and murderous intent hidden in the other's laughter.

"Dover?" Trebol was no longer the frivolous person he usually was.

Although he didn't want to provoke the other party at this moment!

"Should we send some people to monitor this woman? I reckon she'll soon see the person hiding behind the scenes!" Trebol said seriously.

"No! We can't let her get away like this! I want to follow her immediately, and the moment she makes contact with the person behind the scenes will be the perfect opportunity for us to kill them!" Diamante added, his eyes filled with determination.

Doflamingo slightly raised his head, a cunning glint in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "You two are both intelligent. But this time, you've both misjudged."

Diamante and Trebol exchanged a glance, looking at Doflamingo with puzzlement.

"Violet's purpose is not as simple as just delivering a message," Doflamingo continued. "I think I know who's behind her. But now, what I want to know more about is what they really want to do."

"We just need to wait and see what they do," Doflamingo said confidently. "And I believe they will come to us."

Diamante and Trebol exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected Doflamingo to be so confident.

"Then... are we just going to do nothing?" Trebol asked cautiously.

Doflamingo glanced at the Float-Float Fruit on the table and said, "What? Nothing to do? Didn't you see they even brought out Devil Fruit like that?"

"If you ask me, we should just bestow this fruit upon the family members! Don't you think it's a waste to use something so valuable as a prize in the Corrida Colosseum?" A glint of greed flashed in Diamante's eyes!

Little did people know he had already eaten a Devil Fruit! Perhaps he would actually try to obtain Devil Fruit!

Doflamingo sneered, "Give up your foolish idea! Unless you want to drag us all down with you!"

"Tch!" Diamante snorted unhappily.

However, Doflamingo said, "Of course, there is a way to get this Devil Fruit! You can just participate in the Corrida Colosseum in a few days!"

"Hehe! Doflamingo, you really have ideas!" Trebol said, his eyes lighting up.

Diamante also became serious, and said, "I reckon that because of this Devil Fruit, quite a few people from the New World will probably come to participate in this bullfighting tournament!"

"That's right." Doflamingo nodded, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "This Devil Fruit is more than just a fruit; it represents the desires and greed of countless people. And our Corrida Colosseum is precisely the gathering place of these desires and greed. Isn't that so!"

After a burst of laughter, Doflamingo continued, "Notify all the officers that, in addition to keeping an eye on Violet's movements, they also need to prepare for the upcoming Corrida Colosseum match!"

"Don't let yourself get defeated on your home turf!"

Diamante and Trebol both nodded, indicating that they understood.

Over the next few days, the entire Royal Palace was immersed in tense but well-organized preparations. The setup of the Corrida Colosseum, the selection of participants, the formulation of competition rules, and so on, all needed to be arranged properly.

This news spread quickly throughout the New World, and Pirates crews began their march towards Dressrosa!

These Pirates were already driven by greed and desire; they craved the endless power that the Float-Float Fruit would bring.

Dressrosa instantly became the focus of the entire New World, with countless Pirates crews flocking from all directions, hoping to stand out in the Corrida Colosseum and win the legendary Devil Fruit.

However, among these Pirates crews, there are also some clear-headed and cautious Pirates. They know that success is not easy on a Stage filled with greed and desire.

Therefore, they chose another strategy—to lie in the shadows and wait for their opportunity.

All of this is progressing steadily!

As for Haku, who already had nowhere to stay, he has moved into Violet's house in the Kingdom!

After the clanging sound at the door, Aurette, who had already handed over the Devil Fruit, finally returned home!

Haku ignored the original Master of the house! He was in the kitchen frying a steak, and with a glass of red wine in his hand, he was leisurely walking to the dining table to enjoy his meal!

"Whose house is this anyway?!" Violet couldn't help but exclaim.

The main issue is that shortly after Haku entered her home, she began to act as if she were the Master, not a guest.

Violet sniffed the air, and feeling a sudden surge of appetite, she said to Haku, "Don't you think you should be a gentleman and give me this steak?"

"What? I've already touched it, you don't mind that I've eaten it?" Haku said casually, cutting the beef and dipping it in the broth until she was tipsy.

Violet licked her lips defiantly and said, "I don't mind!"
