One Against Many
Without even stopping at Milano Island, the Sirius set off again, abruptly turning and continuing to dive into the sea, its propellers spinning as it sped forward.
"There are two pieces of good news."
"First, "Sirius said, "Luo is still alive and well, and hasn't even been hurt."
Bepo breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that the captain is alright."
"And the second piece of good news?" Yamato asked.
"They stayed on this island for a few days to treat Doflamingo's injuries,"
Sirius chuckled softly. "They left just half a day ago."
"Only half a day?" Black Maria said with a smile. "At this rate, we shouldn't be able to catch up with them for long!"
"Mmm!"
Bepo nodded repeatedly.
Now their ships are faster.
And it's much faster.
"So, what is their target location?" Hiyori asked, somewhat curiously.
Sirius said, "The New World, they're preparing to go to the New World."
"The New World?"
Jack frowned. "There's no definite destination at all. How are we supposed to find them?"
The goal is the New World, not a specific island. The North Sea is so vast that it's easy to lose track of someone even if you're chasing in the same direction.
"No, they had a purpose."
Sirius grinned. "That Doflamingo guy said he's going to reclaim the Donquixote Family's legacy from eight hundred years ago."
Jack asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't I say that?" Sirius asked in surprise, "Doflamingo used to be Celestial Dragon."
"I never said that!"
Jack roared.
"Huh? Celestial Dragon?"
Yamato blinked. "That Celestial Dragons?"
"That guy has such a powerful background?" Ulti was also surprised. "Then why did he become a pirate?"
"That's not important, the point is,"
Sirius waved his hand casually and said, "Eight hundred years ago, before the World Government was established, before the Donquixote Family went to Mary Geoise to become Celestial Dragon, they ruled a country."
"The name of that country is... Dressrosa."
"Dressrosa!"
Yamato exclaimed in surprise, "That's it—"
"That's right, it's the place where I treated your injuries last time."
Sirius pulled out an Eternal Pose. "Coincidentally, I have Eternal Pose from there."
Princess Mansherry saved Yamato, a debt of gratitude Sirius will never forget.
So they exchanged contact information with King Riku very early on.
He even prepared a compass pointing to that place, intending to give Doflamingo a good beating when he went there to cause trouble.
I never expected to need it so soon.
Doflamingo probably has the same pointer, right? If he's not so idle that he'd first go to some island in the New World for a stopover, and then go to the level of Dressrosa.
Even if he doesn't have it, it doesn't matter. Once we know his destination, we can just go to Dressrosa and wait for him.
Sirius had plenty of time.
"That bastard! He absolutely cannot be forgiven!"
After learning that Doflamingo was going to cause trouble for her benefactor, Yamato was Yamato angry.
Therefore, Sirius accelerated.
In a certain sea area of Beihai, Doflamingo's large ship sails through the waves.
Doflamingo was exercising on the deck, doing push-ups with a huge, exaggerated iron weight pressing down on his back. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his breathing was very rapid.
"These internal organs are far too weak!"
Standing to the side, Trebol gritted his teeth and said, "They've seriously dragged Dover down!"
Although his physique didn't change much, the fact that he had a new set of untrained internal organs still somewhat diminished Doflamingo's strength.
"It doesn't matter,"
Diamante, unconcerned, said, "We can change it when we get to the New World."
"The crucial question now is, Doflamingo, if we don't successfully become Shichibukai, can we really take Dressrosa?"
He asked.
"Fufufufu."
Doflamingo was panting heavily, but his laughter was confident. "Then let's change the plan. There's no need to become the king of that country and threaten the government with the lives of the royal family. Joining the Shichibukai is definitely not impossible! After all, I have a huge secret about the Celestial Dragon!"
"Then we just need to stay there. With Sugar's abilities, we can slowly King Riku family disappear without a trace."
"I see,"
Trebol was convinced, "As expected of Dover, truly a man of profound wisdom!"
Doflamingo chuckled softly. Although there had been some deviations, everything was still within his plan!
Once they establish a foothold in the New World, with the government as one of the Shichibukai and the Beasts Pirates as Kaido's allies, the Donquixote Family's power can expand to an astonishing degree!
He could even be the man who holds the chains around the necks of monsters!
In that case, he'd be very close to his goal, right?
Just wait!
Doflamingo was sweating profusely.
Gods of Mary Geoise, I will pull you down from the clouds!
Boom!
At that moment, the seawater suddenly burst open to the side and rear of the large ship, and something enormous rushed up from underwater.
Doflamingo instantly flipped to his feet, throwing away the large Tekkai he was carrying. He looked back and asked, "What's going on? Is it a sea monster?"
Sea King rare, but sea monsters are quite common.
But it wasn't a sea monster that came.
Something yellow slowly emerged from beneath the seabed.
Seawater was rushing down onto the cold metal.
"This is... a ship?"
Doflamingo was somewhat surprised.
However, the ship isn't the main point; the main point is the people on board.
On the metal roof of the ship, the hatch opened, and a man emerged from it.
Upon seeing the person's face, Doflamingo's forehead was already beaded with sweat.
Sirius looked at the large ship ahead and let out a long sigh of relief. "It's been quite a search for me, Doflamingo."
"Accelerate!!"
Without hesitation, Doflamingo shouted.
Damn it!
How did they manage to catch up?!
How did they catch up?
Doflamingo doesn't even have time to think about these things now.
The previous defeat was enough to clearly demonstrate the gap in strength between the two sides.
Sirius was not in a hurry. He drew his greatsword from his back and with a casual swing, a magnificent wave of Sword Wave roared out, directly grazing the large ship in front of him and crashing into the sea.
The sea was torn open, and waves surged skyward!
The massive ship was tossed about by the waves.
"Asshole!!"
Doflamingo gritted his teeth.
It seems I won't be able to get away easily today.
Since we can't run, let's fight!
He looked around, then his eyes lit up.
To the right and slightly ahead, a small, deserted Desert Island stands quietly in the sea.
"Move closer!"
He shouted.
The large ship immediately changed direction and headed towards the Desert Island.
This time, Sirius didn't stop them; he simply climbed atop the Sirius and followed the ship as it approached the island.
"We finally found that guy!"
Yamato also crawled out of the cabin, excitedly waving her Spiked Club. "This time I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"
"You've already faced him twice, haven't you?"
Sirius glanced at her sideways. "Leave this one to me."
"Huh?"
Yamato was disappointed, then pouted, "What about the others—"
"Leave everyone to me."
Sirius laughed and leaped to his feet. "Let's test the ability to Seimei Kikan."
He sped forward, stepping on the air.
"Sirius! So cunning!"
Yamato stayed where he was, shouting and yelling.
The Donquixote Family's ship crashed directly onto the beach of the Desert Island, and then the entire coastline exploded into threads, including the ship.
Countless silk threads sway across the island.
Sirius arrived above the coast.
"If you want to fight, then come on, Black Wolf!"
Amidst countless threads, Doflamingo roared.
