Defeat the Opponent, Find the Treasury

Minos didn't answer Lao G's question. Instead, he kicked him hard, causing his wound to bleed profusely. Then, he pulled off Lao G's cloak and used it to block the iron thorns falling from the sky.

As for Lao G, whose face and hands were covered in blood from being pierced by Minos's Death Stardust, he was splendidly ignored by Minos.

Turning his head, Minos looked towards the battlefield.

Doflamingo's subordinates had already been beaten down by Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Daifuku, the brothers. The only ones still standing on the field were Trebol, Gladius, and Lao G.

Even so, the three of them looked like they were about to collapse.

To put it bluntly, apart from Doflamingo, the Donquixote Family had no one truly capable. It was a waste that they had eaten so many diverse Devil Fruits.

Although many members of the Charlotte Pirates had also eaten all sorts of Devil Fruits, which seemed more suited for chefs than for combat.

However, these Charlotte Pirate members inherited Charlotte Linlin's terrifying physique, and in the harsh competitive environment of the New World, almost everyone had experienced many battles.

Especially the older ones, who had fought alongside Charlotte Linlin all the way from the Rocks Pirates, their strength was naturally extraordinary. It was only natural that the two brothers had the upper hand.

As for the battle between Talon and Pica...

"Ugh!" Talon, his face covered in blood, crashed in front of him. The iron club in his hand was only half intact, and he had completely lost consciousness.

"So, this is the result of choosing the wrong opponent!" Minos looked at Talon, speechless, and muttered.

In reality, if Talon had fought Lao G, it would have been much easier for him. After all, his iron club was a blunt weapon. Even if Lao G wore clothes made of softened steel, they couldn't defend against blunt force.

Unfortunately, who told him to choose Pica! Pica, who possessed the Stone-Stone Fruit and could transform into a Stone Giant, was best at dealing with opponents who were tough and immensely strong.

After all, unless they were Yonko-level individuals, even Yonko Commanders like Katakuri would probably be inferior to this Stone Giant in terms of pure strength.

"Three-Eyed Brat! You actually defeated Lao G!" Pica's shrill voice echoed in his ears. "I will avenge Lao G!"

As he spoke, a giant stone hand smashed down.

Damn it! Your other companions and your young master are all being beaten! Why are you focusing your attention on me? Are you trying to find a soft target to bully and making excuses?

Minos kicked Talon towards Charlotte Daifuku and then leaped up, jumping onto the Stone Giant's arm.

Compared to Talon, who was closer to a Power Type, Minos specialized in speed and agility. Coupled with his superb Observation Haki, dealing with Pica was naturally not as chaotic as it was for Talon.

He dodged and weaved, evading Pica's rounds of attacks. He even jumped onto the Stone Giant's body from time to time, chipping off large chunks of stone.

However, the falling stones were quickly reabsorbed by the massive Stone Giant. The overall effort seemed to be in vain.

One couldn't be damaged, and the other couldn't be hit. The battle seemed to have entered a stalemate.

In fact, with the ability of Minos's Third Eye, he could see Pica hiding inside the stone. However, the problem was that his swordsmanship was not as monstrous as that of the Lost King, the Moss Head. Pica was hiding in seven to eight meters of stone, and Minos did not have the ability to cleave through it.

"Alright! That's enough!"

Charlotte Oven slashed out a Flame Slash, cutting off Pica's stone arm. "Leave the rest of the fight to me!"

Minos glanced at Charlotte Oven's recent battlefield and saw Doflamingo's subordinates lying all over the ground. It was clear that the previous battle hadn't satisfied Charlotte Oven.

However, Minos didn't want to waste any more time. Anyone with eyes could see that further fighting would only be a battle of trash. He had no way to deal with this giant fellow. Therefore, he retreated as if it were a natural progression.

Speaking of which, Charlotte Oven's Heat-Heat Fruit had a stronger counter to the Stone-Stone Fruit because his Heat-Heat Fruit didn't create heat out of thin air but rather transferred heat as if baking.

It could not only boil the sea but also directly turn a stone giant into an oven, enough to bake Pica into pizza. If Pica thought he could rely on the stone giant to fight Charlotte Oven, he would be gravely mistaken.

As for Doflamingo, he didn't have time to pay attention to his subordinates now. Under Katakuri's suppression, he had completely fallen into a disadvantage. At this moment, on their battlefield, only thirty percent of the assimilated strings remained, with the rest completely occupied by Mochi Fist.

After a glance, Minos stopped caring. Although Doflamingo seemed to have a bit of protagonist aura before the Straw Hat Kid appeared, that little bit of protagonist aura clearly couldn't help him turn the tables against Katakuri.

"I've already seen the Treasure Vault of Dressrosa. Brother Daifuku, do you want to come and take a look with me?" Minos turned to look at Charlotte Daifuku, who had also just defeated his opponent.

"What are we waiting for?"

The one who answered him was not Charlotte Daifuku, but Charlotte Oven. He activated his Devil Fruit ability, baking the entire giant stone man until it was red-hot. Amidst sharp screams, Pica escaped and was knocked unconscious by a punch.

"Let's set off now!"

As for Doflamingo? Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Oven had full confidence in their fellow brother Katakuri and had no intention of supporting him.

They had their Homies Soldiers use Seastone Handcuffs to arrest all of Doflamingo's subordinates, and at the same time, they pulled the severely injured and unconscious Talon over for emergency treatment.

Afterward, the group bypassed the chaotic battlefield of Doflamingo and Katakuri and swaggered directly towards Dressrosa.

Dressrosa was still in chaos. Last night, King Riku and his guards went on a killing spree under the control of Doflamingo's Pirate Crew. Afterward, Doflamingo pretended to be a good person and carried out the Coup Plan. Many of King Riku's subordinates and subjects had already been imprisoned.

With so many events happening at once, the country of Dressrosa had not yet recovered. Furthermore, Doflamingo and his group, who should have been handling the aftermath, went to fight Katakuri, leaving the place in a state of anarchy.

The residents of Dressrosa were either bewildered, indignant, or worried. Therefore, even the arrival of Minos and his group did not attract their attention.
