Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
A massive ship with a giant mammoth figurehead sailed straight toward the Flamingo ship.
Braving the wind and rain atop the crow's nest, the lookout raised his telescope and spotted the hostile enemy charging toward them!
"Enemy attack!!!"
At that shout, countless Donquixote Family grunts and several officers rushed out of the cabins with weapons in hand.
Whoosh—whoosh—
Cannonballs streaked through the sky and crashed into the waters around the Flamingo ship, throwing up waves and bursts of fire.
Sensing the commotion, Doflamingo, who had only just gone to bed, stepped out of the cabin with an ugly expression.
Why...
Why did something have to happen while Lord Austin was here?!
Grrrk—
Veins bulged across his forehead, making it obvious that he was in an exceptionally foul mood.
He draped his pink feathered coat over himself, paying no heed to his rain-soaked body.
He grabbed a grunt who was running around shouting, "Enemy attack!" Doflamingo, standing three meters tall, lifted him by the collar and gritted his teeth.
"Shut up!!!"
They had merely encountered enemies at sea. What was there to make such a fuss about?
Why was he yelling and screaming?
Was he trying to wake Lord Austin and ruin his mood?
"They're just a few enemies. Why are you all panicking like this?"
Bang—
Doflamingo flung the terrified, speechless grunt aside and walked over to the officers.
The lookout was standing before them.
"Lao, what exactly is going on?"
Lao G, one of Doflamingo's few martial arts experts who had not eaten a Devil Fruit, was still fairly young. Seeing Doflamingo approach, he said he did not know either. He had only just arrived.
Everyone looked toward the lookout.
The rain poured down in sheets, while smoke and spray filled the sea. From
