Shifting Disaster Elsewhere

The storm continues.

Even the torrential rain couldn't wash away the thick bloodstains on the ship's deck.

Doflamingo sat on the gunwale, his right foot, clad in leather shoes, lightly and rhythmically tapping the deck, splashing up tiny droplets of water.

He looked up at the sky, his hair plastered to his scalp by the rain, and his pink feather cloak and dark red suit were already soaked through.

But he was humming an unknown tune, clearly in a very good mood.

"Dover! Everything has been accounted for!"

Sticky and slimy like a slug, making one wonder if he'd melt away in the downpour, Trebol stumbled over, his face now radiating an unspeakable excitement.

"This is truly an astonishing sum of money! If we put this wealth on board to good use, our business could immediately take off several notches!"

"Fufufufu, that would be such a waste, Trebol."

Doflamingo lowered his head and said with a grin, "But they have an even more important use."

"Doflamingo, you're a madman!"

At this moment, the man lying on the deck, a naval officer draped in Justice Coat, gritted his teeth and roared.

Do you know what you're doing? Your actions will plunge several countries into the abyss of destruction!

"Destruction? Fufufufu,"

Doflamingo stood up, then laughed wildly, "Isn't that fantastic?"

"The most beautiful fireworks are those of destruction! I can't wait to see them!"

"Dover! Ship sighted behind us!"

Just then, a shrill voice suddenly rang out, and the imposing and robust Pica ran over in a panic, shouting, "It's the Navy! The Navy's warships are here!"

Doflamingo's smile vanished slightly. "So fast?"

"Haha! You miscalculated, Doflamingo! Vice Admiral Tsuru is nearby! I already had someone notify her during the battle! You have nowhere to escape!"

With a cold expression, he casually flicked his finger, and a bullet formed from a ball of thread shot out, piercing the head of the marine. Doflamingo walked to the ship's side and immediately saw the end of the storm and the rapidly approaching fleet.

"This is really not the time for you to make your appearance yet."

He sneered, "Set sail immediately! Take this ship with you!"

"Yes, Dover!"

Pica responded loudly.

Doflamingo suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, Trebol, is that guy Sirius still on Demon Island?"

"I'll go check."

Trebol Road.

He returned quickly, "Their whereabouts were discovered by the navy, and they have now left the island!"

"Do you know which direction they're heading? Hehe, I suddenly have a really good plan!"

So, where is our next target?

Jack asked.

Beihai is very large, even much larger than the New World.

This sea area contains numerous islands and a large number of countries and cities. If you wander aimlessly, it might take several years to explore the entire area.

"I asked Shanks about it earlier, and he recommended a few interesting islands to me!"

Sirius pulled out a nautical chart, a thick book, which detailed every island in the North Sea.

"Let me see. The closest island to us is Abbott Island. I've heard the hot springs there are really nice."

"A hot spring?"

Black Maria laughed and said, "It has indeed been a long time since I've had a bath."

"Mmm!"

Yamato nodded repeatedly, "I want to eat a soft-boiled egg!"

"Let's go there then!"

Sirius said with a smile.

"Wait a minute!"

Jack had already silently clenched his fists. "Sightseeing and hot springs! Sirius, are we on vacation?"

Sirius blinked.

Then he turned his head Yamato looked at Yamato.

Then the two of them looked at Jack at the same time, and said with a puzzled expression,

Isn't that so?

"..."

Jack felt like a string in his brain had snapped.

That bastard!

Fortunately, at that moment, Page One from the lookout tower broke the awkward atmosphere by shouting,

"Brother! We've spotted a ship to our right!"

"Are they pirates?"

Yamato excitedly ran to the bow of the ship.

"Or have those reckless sailors caught up with us?"

Ulti still resentful that Sirius hadn't dealt with those naval forces before, so she immediately went over to them.

Sirius jumped onto the mast, took the telescope from Page One's hand, and looked ahead.

On the sea to the right, two large ships are sailing side by side.

It's a very strange combination: one is a warship, and the other is a pirate ship.

"They're pirates!"

Yamato surprise.

"It's the navy!"

Ulti laughed loudly as well.

"Hmm? That flag?"

He noticed the pirate flag flying on the mast of the maritime surveillance ship.

It is a round clown face with a grinning expression, with a line running from the upper right to the lower left.

It looks very familiar, this is--

The sea ahead.

Doflamingo also peered through his binoculars at the distant ship on the sea.

"Fufufufu, you've already hung up a new pirate flag so quickly?"

He grinned. "Kaido must be furious."

"But this time, I have to thank you for showing up here, Black Wolf!"

"Speed up! Full speed ahead!"

He said.

The two large ships accelerated forward again.

So Sirius watched helplessly as the two ships passed by in the distance, directly in front of him, continuing on their way without a backward glance.

"Huh? They're completely ignoring us?"

Ulti looked disappointed. "Are all the navy members so spineless?"

She was already prepared for a fierce battle with the persistent navy.

Sirius was also somewhat surprised; could it have just been a coincidence?

That doesn't matter.

"Sister, the Navy's message has come again!"

"Page One shouted loudly."

He pointed in the direction the two ships had come from.

Sirius looked in that direction and, sure enough, several more warships were rapidly approaching.

Is this a pursuit?

Sirius picked up the telescope, then immediately entered his Human-Beast Form, using his extraordinary eyesight to see what was happening.

Then he saw clearly that on the bow of the very first naval warship in the fleet, stood a sprightly old woman.

She was also looking in our direction through binoculars, and talking to a female navy woman next to her.

"I see."

Sirius's lips twitched.

Now I understood what that guy was up to.

I originally just wanted to go to the hot springs, but it seems some idiot had to make things difficult for me.

Then I'll just play along with him.

"Jack! Turn around!"

Sirius foot planted on the gunwale, roared, "Chase after them! Catch those two ships ahead!"

I'm a bit exhausted from updating five times in a row, so I'll start with four updates to get back into shape.

Seven chapters are still owed.
