Excuse Me, Kid, Who Are You Trying to Kill?

Sabaody Archipelago, Red-light district.

What should have been a lively district was now devoid of its usual atmosphere, engulfed in flames and cries.

This was a lawless zone, the perfect breeding ground for illicit industries.

But precisely because of this, it was a place without order, where neither the Marines nor the World Government imposed any control.

Within the red-light district, countless women who made their living here could only hide in their homes, trembling with fear, cautiously watching the skirmishes and killings on the streets. Their heavily made-up faces were filled with terror.

Murder, Arson, Rape, ...

The sudden intruders, thugs, were capable of anything. These arrogant bastards swaggered around, claiming to be subordinates of the Donquixote Family.

Among them, the leaders, known as executives, swiftly eliminated all armed forces within the red-light district with their powerful and strange abilities.

They had previously plundered and pillaged in the North Blue, rampaging through the Underworld and expanding their influence relentlessly.

Now, they were also making preparations to advance into the New World.

This time, they had set their sights on a big whale, A woman who controlled a significant market, with the red-light district as her main business, "Mommy" Sammy.

Not only did she possess considerable market share, but she also had exclusive resources in human trafficking, intelligence, and many other areas.

Most importantly, she was an easy target. For the nascent Donquixote Family, she was like meat on a plate, There was no reason not to devour her.

The Donquixote Family gave Sammy one day to consider. They told her to go back and think it over carefully.

If they could take over without bloodshed, they certainly wouldn't want to waste resources unnecessarily.

Red-light district, A somewhat disheveled Sammy repeatedly dialed her Den Den Mushi, surrounded by a group of industry managers, all her trusted subordinates.

Through the balcony of a tall building, she could see the rioting thugs outside like a tide, and in the distance, the menacing gazes of several Donquixote Family executives.

And there was that newcomer who had already made a name for himself in the Underworld, the Heavenly Yaksha, Donquixote Doflamingo!!

This newcomer from the North Blue had directly issued her an ultimatum: hand over her businesses and territory immediately, or he would personally destroy the entire red-light district and then establish the largest slave market and auction house on Sabaody Archipelago!

Looking at the Den Den Mushi she dialed repeatedly with no answer, and the shifting eyes of her subordinates, the immense pressure Sammy felt was unimaginable.

"Beru beru beru..."

"Click!"

At this moment, a sudden connection sound immediately made everyone's spirits lift, A heavenly sound!!!

"Moshi moshi, Sammy, what is it?"

"Lord Austin! You finally answered! We're under attack!!!"

Sammy was on the verge of tears, her voice laced with a hint of relief, and even a touch of coquettishness. This stunned the managers beside her.

Was this still the proud and imposing Madam Sammy?

In her current state, she looked more like a little girl who had been bullied and was seeking her parents' help.

The Den Den Mushi, which had transformed into Austin's appearance, heard her words and revealed a calm and doting expression, "...Sorry about that, I was cultivating just now. I'll be right back."

On the Flamingo Pirate Ship, A wine glass swayed, and the red wine, like fresh blood, gently rippled. A young maid carried the wine glass and walked towards the tall figure at the bow of the ship.

It was a man clad in a pink cloak, with a head of proud, spiky blonde hair.

Beneath his wicked-looking sunglasses, his eyes were unreadable, but his arrogant expression revealed him to be a defiant individual.

He gazed out at the island, known as the gateway to the New World.

"It truly is a good place... Whether for opening casinos, auction houses, or selling slaves, the profits are astronomical. Letting those women play house is a complete waste!!"

Doflamingo's lips curled slightly, and his sunglasses reflected a cold, sinister glint, as if he were looking at his future spoils.

"Nee nee, Doffy, should we send our subordinates out now? That woman doesn't seem to be in any mood to compromise, heh heh heh~"

The ugly man with the big nose, who had previously threatened Sammy, stood before him with a sinister grin, asking as he approached.

"Hey..."

Noticing his movement, Doflamingo's smile vanished, and his brows furrowed together.

"You're too close, Trebol."

His snot was practically brushing against him.

"Buhahaha, it'll be better to finish this quickly so we can set off early, Doffy. Didn't you say you wanted to go to Loguetown to watch the King of Pirates' execution?"

Trebol kept fanning the flames. He had long disliked Sammy's arrogant and composed demeanor.

Just the boss of a red-light district? She's merely a woman with a bit of cleverness. What right does she have to bargain with the great Donquixote Family?

Doffy is destined to become the World King!

In fact, Doflamingo did value his "family." This insignificant request was granted after a moment's thought, and he said with a wicked grin:

"You're right. Let's eliminate all the troublesome women right now."

Dealing with a mere small force in Sabaody Archipelago was indeed no big deal for him. The moment to witness history was fast approaching, and he didn't want to waste time.

However, since it concerned business expansion and advancing into the New World, it was worth him making a personal trip.

Once they established a foothold in Sabaody Archipelago and spread their underworld business throughout Paradise and the New World, becoming the new king of the underworld, they would have enough leverage to prepare for retaking Dressrosa.

While planning in his mind, Doflamingo lightly stepped, and invisible threads spread out, connecting to the clouds in the sky.

As if walking on air, a pink figure moved freely through the sky.

Under the command of the executives, all the Donquixote Family's thugs collectively stopped their destruction and surged into the red-light district amid the commotion.

The women watched in terror as these people completely surrounded the entire block. Leading them were executives with varied appearances.

And at the forefront of everyone was a tall man in sunglasses, a wicked, untamed smile on his lips.

"You've had enough time to consider. In the end, it still has to come to this ugly situation. Then I'll just have to..."

"Kill you all~"

Just as he was about to give the order for his subordinates to begin the slaughter, the scene suddenly fell silent.

It was even eerily quiet.

"Excuse me, young man,"

"Who did you say you were going to kill?"
