Dom's appearance has changed, so he no longer needs to worry about the World Government issuing any arrest warrants.

Anyway... even if an old acquaintance stood in front of me now, I probably wouldn't recognize them.

However, after going through all that, many things cannot be changed.

He could no longer return to the Flame Dragon Pirates.

It's even less likely that he would admit to being Dom.

"Aren't you going to make a change?"

The navy was no longer on the streets, and gradually some pedestrians began to appear and move about.

All of this indicates that the Navy has lifted the 'blockade'.

It is assumed that Oboro may have already fled the Sabaody Archipelago.

Dom glanced at Oboro, who was standing in front of a mirror and slowly taking off her shirt, and asked in surprise.

"Unnecessary."

From the former's perspective, since Oboro possesses this fruit ability that changed his appearance, then... he can also use it on himself.

In that case, the World Government's arrest warrant... becomes a joke.

They can even swagger down the street.

Dom's pupils dilated as he saw a striking 'mark' branded on Oboro's back.

That is... a symbol unique to Celestial Dragons slaves.

Heavenly Dragon's Hoof.

There's also the necklace Oboro is wearing around her neck.

"It's okay...we can cover this design with a bigger tattoo later, like a floral back tattoo..." Dom swallowed hard and offered some comfort.

Judging from the dense scars on Oboro's body, Dom didn't even need to ask to know what kind of torture and abuse this man had suffered... Moreover, being branded as Celestial Dragons was definitely not something to be proud of, and it might even be a shadow that he could never shake off for the rest of his life.

That's why... that's why he said that.

"Don't you think...this pattern is pretty good? To be honest, I kind of like it..." But to Dom's surprise, he couldn't see any anger or complicated emotions on the man's face. Instead, the man was smiling and admiring himself in the mirror.

"Well..."

"That way... I'll be happier when I slaughter those trash in the future."

Oboro spoke in a very calm tone.

Dom couldn't help but shiver; he could tell that Oboro was serious.

Kill Celestial Dragons? Are you kidding me?!

I don't want to live anymore!

This is... something that has never happened before. Not to mention Oboro, even the Yonko wouldn't dare to do it.

Long has made up his mind... Since he has been targeted by the will of this world, and this world wants him dead, then... he and this world will definitely be in a state of mortal enmity.

Either he'll be killed by the will of the world, or he'll destroy the world.

Hiding is useless...

Of course, the will of the world is not as terrible as he thought; it only subtly influences some things.

There's no way to directly intervene.

Oboro is now quite grateful that he went to Demon Slayer before entering another higher world, which at least gave him some understanding of the will of the world.

His actions in Demon Slayer were to help the world grow within the existing framework and tone... But to destroy a world, one must derail the operation of everything and cause the world's will to lose control. In this way, the 'tree' will lose its nourishment and gradually wither and die.

Destroy the world's culture, erode the world's power system!

To achieve this goal, the first thing to deal with is the Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, what Oboro is going to do this time is not simply to practice some supreme will, but to fight against 'this world'.

Of course, he might not be able to do it, because it is, after all, a higher world, and even at his peak, he did not achieve it in Hunter x Hunter.

But he will do his best.

If you can't do that... just accumulate enough resources and leave.

The next world is destined to be even more terrifying... He absolutely cannot escape before acquiring enough capital.

In short, he will not allow himself to be controlled by the will of the world.

Killing him... won't be that easy.

In addition, he enjoys taking on challenges.

Coming to One Piece gave him a feeling of being a Hunter x Hunter in the original One Piece, where he had to be careful with every step and work hard to make progress.

"Actually..."

Dom hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He wanted to persuade Oboro to give up the idea of harming the Celestial Dragons, saying that it was wishful thinking.

It's no different from sending someone to their death.

Compared to this idea, Oboro could accomplish many great things, as long as he didn't focus his energy on the Celestial Dragons.

Some things... you just have to endure; there's no other way.

"What I give you comes at a price... Do you understand?" But before he could finish speaking, Dom saw the hazy gaze in the mirror. His heart tightened, and he could hardly breathe. "I can give it to you, and I can take it back."

"Yes."

Dom responded dryly.

Oboro put his clothes back on, walked over, patted Dom on the shoulder, and laughed, "Don't be nervous... Now that you've set sail and become One Piece, how can you be afraid of death? Follow me... You'll soon discover that life can actually be very exciting."

"Let's go."

After speaking, Long opened the door and Ta Bu out first.

Although the navy's tight control is gone, patrol teams still patrol various neighborhoods.

It is limited to peaceful neighborhoods.

In Lawless Area, a small number of naval personnel cannot enter; it is extremely dangerous.

In the past two days, the Lawless Area seemed to be in a tense and chaotic state of battle... but as soon as the navy personnel left, a large number of One Piece or underground forces quickly reappeared on the streets.

He thought the same thing as Long.

Even with unprecedented naval efforts, it was still impossible to completely suppress the One Piece groups scattered across the island.

There are countermeasures from above and responses from below.

If the Sabaody Archipelago can be controlled, then the Grand Line will be entirely under the Navy's control. It will be even more impossible for the new generation of One Piece to resupply or travel to the New World. The Navy will no longer need to form the Seven Warlords of the Sea to balance the situation on the sea, nor will it be wary of the arrogance of the One Piece forces.

I wouldn't dare say I could cut off 70-80% of the rising One Piece entering the New World, but at least 50%... It's precisely because I can't do that that the Navy is in a passive position.

However, this battle had a significant impact on the One Piece on the island.

There is still some impact.

"Doflamingo's power... is actually that great."

Walking down the street, Dom gasped.

"Without guests, wouldn't his auction be a waste? Besides, the one with more influence isn't him, but the Celestial Dragons ... He can only be considered a messenger at best." Oboro, wearing a half-mask, continued.

"Boss, how do you... know so much about the Joker? Could it be...?"

Dom asked curiously.

During their conversation, some eyes would occasionally dart over to them.

The main problem is Dom's current appearance; it's quite striking... he looks like some kind of alien race.

He also wore a hat to cover the bulge on his head. Otherwise, if he were identified as belonging to a race he had never seen before, he might attract the interest of powerful figures or important people, who might kidnap him. This was especially true for those involved in human trafficking; if they were targeted by the Celestial Dragons, they would have no chance at all.

"Boss" is also a common term used among One Piece.

Dom has now accepted reality, and the way he addresses people has changed.

We can only go along with the muddling through.

"We're not familiar. I already said I wasn't One Piece before."

Long knew what he was thinking and waved his hand.

"Oh."

After a short while, the two of them finally arrived outside the auction house.

I also saw a huge banner hanging high up in the auction house.

Above it... is drawn a Devil Fruit.

This is clearly the main event that Doflamingo has prepared.

A gimmick that's sure to grab your attention.

"Heh, that's quite in line with his style; he just likes to play this game."

Long made a sarcastic remark.

Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

While not as powerful as Paramecia and Logia types, a Devil Fruit is still incredibly attractive to most One Piece!

The auction house wasn't exactly crowded, but there was a steady stream of people coming and going.

The day hasn't come yet...

"Let's go in and take a look around."

Long greeted him.
