Vice Admiral Tsuru, who previously claimed to be chasing Doflamingo around, has now come knocking on his door.

This old lady is not someone to be trifled with.

As a member of the Navy Legends, this old lady, though a civilian employee, is by no means weak.

Even fifteen years later, when she had aged considerably, her strength should still be no weaker than that of the All-Stars Sweet Commander.

Fifteen years ago, none of them had reached their peak. The Disaster Sweet Commander were much weaker than they would be fifteen years later, and there was even someone like Jack who was still a child.

On the contrary, Vice Admiral Tsuru is currently at the tail end of her peak, and she is actually stronger than she will be fifteen years later.

Based on this shifting balance, could it be that the old woman is actually stronger than Marco or Jhin?

That's troublesome.

What's more troublesome is that she brought people with her.

"Momousagi Gion, despite her young age, is already Rear Admiral in the Marine Headquarters."

Doflamingo chuckled and said, "Moreover, she's not just any ordinary Rear Admiral. She's only at that rank because her achievements aren't enough. In reality, her strength far surpasses that of a typical Vice Admiral."

"Everyone says that if Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji weren't so outstanding, she and Chaton would also be strong contenders for the future Admiral position."

"Fufufufu, hey, Ian, why? Why is Momousagi, who was supposed to be suppressing the pirates in the New World, blocking our way with Tsuru?"

Ian didn't say anything, but simply leaned back comfortably on the sofa.

Yes, although they said they were going to take a look, Ian and the others didn't show up directly.

Let Judge handle this first.

The Germa Kingdom is, after all, World Government Member States. Although Judge doesn't have much influence in front of Ian, he can still put on a show in front of the Marines.

However, the chances of getting away with it so easily are slim.

Therefore, Ian and his group were currently in the reception hall on one side of the entrance to the Germa Kingdom, a place where they could attack or defend at will.

Ian was just waiting.

However, Doflamingo remained in a state of continuous rage.

"Why is that?"

Doflamingo glanced at all his cherished family members, a smile still on his face. "Could it be that one of my most treasured family members has betrayed me?"

"Who! Who did this?!"

Pica screamed in his piercingly high-pitched voice, "Who dares to betray us!"

"If I ever find out who did it, I'll cut off pieces of their flesh!"

With two lines painted on his face, Diamante, a high-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, roared angrily.

Traitors are more deserving of death than enemies!

Rosinante also tried his best to look angry.

However, he knew that he probably couldn't hide it for much longer.

But at least one thing needs to be done before it's fully exposed.

Rosinante gave Drake a barely perceptible glance.

This child who dreams of becoming a navy officer should not be swayed by pirates.

Doflamingo's eyes swept over his family members one by one.

Who is it?

Trebol, Diamante, Pica have all been loyal to him since childhood.

Senor, Jola, Gladius, Mahalbas, and Rao G. were all recruited into the family very early on.

like.

There's only one guy.

Since his return, the navy has always been able to keep track of his movements.

Fufu, fufufufu!

That's so much fun!

At the same moment, in front of the Germa Kingdom, which floats on the sea, a naval fleet stands in its path.

At that moment, a man walked up onto the head of a large snail on Germa's side.

"They're here!"

Gion narrowed her eyes. "Who would have thought that even the Vinsmoke Family would be dragged into this? Tsuru-nee, is it too late to get Borsalino to come and provide support?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not speak, but simply stared quietly at the top of the snail's head.

"Navy! What are you doing blocking my way?"

Judge looked down at the naval fleet below, his tone utterly blunt.

Just kidding, why would the King of Affiliated Nation be so polite to the navy?

He also carried Den Den Mushi with him, which allowed him to relay what was happening on his end to Ian immediately.

"I won't waste any more words, Vinsmoke Judge,"

Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly spoke, "Ian of the Scorched Sky, Donquixote Doflamingo, bring these two out."

"I don't understand what you're talking about at all!"

Judge yelled arrogantly, "Get the hell out of my way! Otherwise, I'm going to complain to the government!"

"That's impossible,"

Gion sneered, "You don't think you can get away with this, do you? Since we're here, it means we have solid evidence. I advise you not to resist. Behave yourself now, and maybe you'll get a lighter sentence later."

"Or, you can try firing the cannon directly!"

Judge's expression stiffened slightly; this was troublesome.

Back in the reception room, Ian stood up, stretched, and said, "Looks like it's our turn to make our appearance."

"Fufufufu, I don't really care,"

Doflamingo laughed and said, "But Judge will be in trouble, won't he? The King of the Affiliated Nation is colluding with pirates or something."

Ian said calmly, "It's alright, the Beasts Pirates will protect him from now on."

Wouldn't it be better if the Vinsmoke Family were being pursued by the government?

This means that Judge will have to rely more on the Beasts Pirates.

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo burst into laughter.

Let's go.

Ian said, looking around at everyone, thinking for a moment, then said, "Those who aren't strong enough to fight, stay."

Doflamingo glanced at someone, then a smirk appeared on his lips. "That's settled then."

So, the group set off.

Inside the reception room, only Drake, Luo, Baby-5, and other young people with little fighting ability remained. Of course, there was also...

Rosinante glanced at Drake.

He stayed too.

So, a great opportunity!

Ian continued forward, climbing the steps to the top of the snail's head, where he saw rows of naval warships.

Having been in this world for so long, it seems I haven't really had a proper encounter with the Navy.

"They're here!"

On the warship, Gion had already placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist. "Get ready!"

"Ian ..."

Judge turned to look at Ian, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"It's nothing. They've already got my whereabouts, and they're definitely not going to let this go."

Ian said, "But Judge, in that case, you'll have no way back."

"I never even considered turning back!"

Judge said firmly.

Since the World Government wants to stop his dream, then the government is his enemy!

"Excellent!"

Ian nodded slightly, stepped forward, and said loudly, "Excuse me, but Granny Tsuru, could you please move aside?"

"This kid is quite polite."

Gion muttered something to herself.

However, when she saw Ian in person, she couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

Too young.

So young, yet so powerful.

"The Navy doesn't make way for pirates."

Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly observed Ian. "And there's another bad boy here."

"Here!"

Yamato a grin and stood beside Ian.

They probably weren't talking about you.

Ian chuckled softly.

"Fufufufu, isn't this Vice Admiral Tsuru? It's been a while."

The bad boy Doflamingo stepped forward, looking down at the warship, and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"Let's skip the pirate greetings."

The sprightly old woman spoke indifferently.

"That's right, evil pirates shouldn't try to get close to us!"

Gion sneered, "Your fates are sealed today."

"Evil?"

Ian asked, puzzled, "What makes you say that?"

"What?"

Gion was genuinely taken aback by his answer. After understanding Ian's meaning, she laughed angrily, "Are you trying to say that the evil ones aren't pirates, but the Navy?"

"Oh! You know what,"

Ian looked like Satori. "Although I'd never thought of it before, upon closer reflection, it does seem to make sense."

Gion didn't even bother to refute it.

"If the Celestial Dragons are the scourge of the world, the most evil beings, then the Navy that protects them must be at least the second most evil, right?"

That's what Ian said.

"Fufufufu, I think it's aiding and abetting evil, yet you consider yourself righteous."

Doflamingo laughed and agreed, "This kind of behavior is more worthy of being called evil."

"Shut up!"

Since this concerned the Celestial Dragons, Gion immediately lost her composure and angrily rebuked, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"I think we are quite qualified to judge the Celestial Dragons, especially Doflamingo," Ian said.

"There are probably very few people in the world more qualified than me to comment on the Celestial Dragons."

Doflamingo said.

Gion couldn't refute this.

This guy is a former Celestial Dragons!

"I remember there's a tradition among the Celestial Dragons, isn't there, Doflamingo?"

Ian pretended to recall, "Every three years, they would descend to the mortal realm to find an island for a massacre contest. Once everyone on the island was wiped out, the island would naturally fall under the government's control."

"..."

Gion's pupils suddenly trembled.

Is there really such a thing?

"Fufufufu, Ian, you know so much."

Doflamingo chuckled and replied, "Is that so? The God's Canyon incident back then was caused by the Celestial Dragons ' hunting competition, which attracted the Rocks Pirates."

"That's really amazing."

Ian exclaimed in genuine amazement, "Teacher Kai has worked hard for decades, and the number of people he's killed is probably only a few hundred thousand. Compared to the Celestial Dragons, that's nothing at all. They could easily slaughter a whole country and kill several times more people than Teacher Kai!"

"How many people have died in the Celestial Dragons ' massacre Yugi over the past eight hundred years? Ten million? A hundred million? Or a billion?"

"Fufufufu, I don't know about that."

Doflamingo looked at the Marines, "Why don't we ask the Marines? Every time the Celestial Dragons Yugi, there are Marine warship protecting them. They probably have statistics."

"Oh, speaking of which, the reason why Iron Fist Garp is known as a Marine hero is because he protected the Celestial Dragons from the attack by the Rocks Pirates at God's Canyon."

"Tsk tsk, the end result was that God's Canyon sank and all the natives died. Truly worthy of being called a naval hero, perfectly upholding the image of the Celestial Dragons."

"... What are you talking about?"

Gion's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she subconsciously looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru.

This legendary figure, who had led the Navy forward since before the Great Pirate Era, now had a somber expression and remained silent.

Sister He!

What they're saying is false, right?

Meanwhile, in the reception room from earlier...

"What?! Are all Celestial Dragons this scum?"

Baby-5 shouted, "What kind of Celestial Dragons are we talking about!"

"Impossible! How could such a thing happen!"

Drake, pale-faced, roared incredulously, "It must be a slander from those two! Celestial Dragons, the government, how could they do such a thing?"

"How is that possible? How is it impossible!"

The usually gloomy Law suddenly sneered, "My country was destroyed because of the World Government!"

"..."

Drake looked at Luo blankly.

"Have you heard of Platinum Ore?"

Platinum Lead?

Drake had heard of it.

It is said to be a very precious mineral.

"You should have heard of my homeland, the White Town Flevance,"

Luo clenched his fist. "That area is rich in platinum and lead, and the government has been involved in the trade for over a century, driven by greed for the profits from these resources."

"But they never told us that platinum and lead are highly toxic, and that the toxins accumulate continuously! Until a year ago, the toxins broke out, plunging the entire country into utter destruction!"

"But what is the World Government doing? They are turning a blind eye to the fact that they are making a fortune from the platinum and lead trade! They are allowing our country to be mistaken by our neighbors for a large-scale infectious disease outbreak and directly sent troops to wipe it out!"

Drake staggered backward, looking into Law's eyes, those lifeless eyes filling him with dread.

"I only have two years left to live! I will take revenge on this world! I will destroy everything I see!!"

Drake suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Was it the World Government, not pirates, that turned him into this?

Or is it the navy protecting the government?

Outside.

"Justice? Serving as dogs for the Celestial Dragons, and having to send in admirals from the Admiral whenever Celestial Dragons is harmed, do they even deserve to talk about justice?"

Ian shook his head. "Ultimately, who are all these pirates on the seas for? Half the world's countries aren't protected by the Navy because they can't afford the Celestial Gold that's meant to entertain the Celestial Dragons. And then..."

Ian stretched out his hand, pointing at the marines below, "You just ignored them, you treated their so-called justice as if they didn't exist."

"Really,"

Ian shook his head. "He's not even as good as Whitebeard. At least on the islands under Whitebeard Pirates Whitebeard, he didn't charge exorbitant protection fees, and he was genuinely willing to help when trouble arose."

Ian consciously refrained from comparing himself to the Beasts Pirates.

"Fufufufu! Isn't this simple?"

Doflamingo added insult to injury, saying, "Justice also has its stance! Only those who are willing to serve the Celestial Dragons are recognized as human!"

Inside the reception room.

Drake slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless.

Is this what justice is?

He was expecting a rebuttal from the navy.

But no.

He suddenly thought of even his father.

Did my father only fall into depravity after realizing this reality?

"Celestial Dragons are Celestial Dragons! Marines are Marines!"

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Luo and Baby-5 both looked at the man who spoke with blank expressions.

Rosinante stood up, looked at Drake, and said seriously, "At least, the Navy's commitment to upholding order and justice is not a sham."

"You can talk!!"

Luo and Baby-5 couldn't help but scream.

Drake stared at him blankly.

"At least,"

There was a hint of bitterness in Rosinante's voice, "For eight hundred years, we have protected the world."

He added, "Half the world."

"You?"

Luo was stunned.

Drake paused for a moment. "So, what they're saying is true?"

"..."

Rosinante remained silent.

He took a deep breath and said, "Now's your chance. Come with me, Drake. I'll take you to the Navy."

"..."

Drake kept his head down.

Then.

"I'll send you a mud horse!!"

The seemingly young man suddenly sprang to his feet, slamming the unsuspecting Rosinante to the ground, yelling, "What kind of bullshit justice is this! Just die, you all!!"

This kind of justice, this kind of navy—they can all go to hell!

Drake turned to look at Law and Baby-5, "What are you two standing there for? This guy is a traitor!"

On the snail's head, Ian and Doflamingo's expressions became somewhat strange. They exchanged a glance, realizing they hadn't expected this turn of events.

This live stream appears to have been very effective.

"Rest assured,"

Doflamingo said calmly, "I left Senor behind."

So, finally.

Ian looked at the navy men.

What should we do with them?
