Monster-Class Rookie

A naval battle that seemed to present a crushing defeat and with a complete mismatch in combat strength ended in less than an hour.

The reason it took so long is also due to the time spent scavenging resources.

The ultimate victors... were the Hell Pirates.

The three of them, including Oboro, left on the only intact boat.

The sea surface was once covered with a large number of corpses and shipwrecks, as well as patches of water stained red with blood.

Those who didn't know the situation might think that some fierce naval battle had taken place here... but in reality, almost all the ships were destroyed by Long alone using the Qi Refining Technique.

The New World, the Dressrosa Kingdom.

Inside the luxurious palace, Doflamingo sat on the sofa, legs crossed.

The gaze behind the red-rimmed glasses remained fixed on the Den Den Mushi on the table.

He has been waiting for a long time...

The phone, which was supposed to ring, never did.

This made him very unhappy, and he vaguely realized something.

"Hey hey~ Dover~"

Behind him, Trebol, with a runny nose, walked in and called out softly.

"Explain."

Doflamingo gave a sinister smile.

"Found it... that Hell Pirates."

"They set sail from the Noddis Kingdom... They ordered a small One Piece ship from the White Bird Shipyard for over ten million, and the order is due soon. By the way, the person who went to collect the payment never came back... He was killed."

Trebol handed over the documents he was holding.

"Nodis?"

Doflamingo raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had remembered something.

"Fufufu... You've only just set sail and you're already making such a commotion. You must be very confident in yourself."

Joker laughed.

His fingers were constantly moving, making a cracking sound.

"Hey, should we send Diamante and the others back? They live relatively close..."

Trebol suggested.

Bulu Bulu.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi finally rang.

Doflamingo picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the communication signal.

The Den Den Mushi opened its eyes, revealing a terrified face, and cried out, "Joker! Dead... all dead..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, several veins bulged on Doflamingo's forehead.

Without even wanting to hear what happened next, he hung up the phone immediately.

The room fell silent.

"Dover... what are you thinking about?"

Trebol knew Doflamingo very well, and seeing that he was silent as if he had some reservations, he immediately asked.

Trebol was surprised.

He knew better than anyone the effect of the Donquixote Family's wanted notice in the North Blue. A rookie One Piece, with a One Piece seemed to consist of only three people... how could such a character possibly take down so many people? How did they do it? This matter could probably no longer be concealed and would soon spread throughout the North Blue, given the involvement of so many forces. Even the events at Fish Head Island would be exposed... This would damage their family's reputation and be a blow.

Therefore, there is no time to hesitate; the most urgent task is to immediately send out the family's leaders to eliminate them.

To continue consolidating the family's dominance in North Blue.

But Doflamingo was clearly hesitant, which puzzled Trebol.

"Has the Navy found that guy?"

Joker suddenly spoke up.

"Who?"

"Ah... you mean the God Slayer?"

Trebol realized what was happening.

News about the Godslayer is now scarce, and the hype has died down. Rumors abound about his whereabouts: some say he's been secretly dealt with... others say he's fled to the New World and is hiding. Even more outrageous, tabloids are spreading rumors that the Godslayer has gone to the legendary Laugh Tale, and that his actions in Loguetown in the East Blue were a harbinger of this.

The God Slayer stood on Roger's execution platform, and a photo of him was taken by someone with ulterior motives.

"No."

Trebol replied.

Outsiders may not understand, but Doflamingo, as a Shichibukai and having 'connections' with the Celestial Dragons, and his family are well aware of the government's incompetence. So much time has passed, yet not a single trace of the God Slayer has been found.

Their Donquixote Family was also dragged down by the God Slayer, and one of their members even died.

Doflamingo could never forget this debt.

The New World is the territory of the Yonko, and he is also one of the emperors of the New World's underworld. If God Slayer had slipped into the New World, it's impossible for him to have remained completely silent for such a long time. As for the first half of the Grand Line, it's also where the Navy's forces are most concentrated, making it difficult for God Slayer to hide quietly.

Therefore, Doflamingo's judgment is consistent with that of Vice Admiral Tsuru and Fleet Sengoku.

The God Slayer himself should be in the Four Blues, that is, the three seas other than the East Blue.

However, the area of Four Blues is too large, and as time goes by, the Navy cannot continue to focus its energy on the God Slayer. After all, chaos is frequently occurring in the New World, and only the Admirals can keep the situation under control, especially when it comes to interfering with the plans of the Yonko.

Even though the World Government has been searching for the God Slayer, the intensity and scale of its operations have become scattered...

Especially in the North Blue and the West Blue, where the power dynamics are complex and the environment is somewhat unique, the intensity of the investigation has been further weakened.

The world has more dangerous characters than just God Slayer.

At this critical juncture, after disappearing for almost a year, a powerful new One Piece suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the North Blue.

This inevitably makes some connections to Doflamingo.

He didn't deny that in the tides of time, at every stage, there would emerge some rising 'stars'... and most of them were unruly individuals, utterly ambitious. But in North Blue, those who dared to directly challenge him... were newcomers who had just set sail and clearly lacked any real experience...

Most importantly, the sheer power displayed by this Hell Pirates.

That's a bit illogical.

The North Blue was their family's stronghold. The Donquixote Family had cultivated deep roots there for many years and were well-versed in intelligence from all sides. If there had been such a powerful figure in the Noddis Kingdom before... he wouldn't have been unaware of it.

With war raging everywhere in the North Blue, would someone with such abilities willingly choose to stay in a place like Nordis?

And they only set sail now? "Fufufufufu!"

Upon realizing this, Doflamingo suddenly burst into wild laughter.

The aura emanating from him caused the glass nearby to creak and rattle, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Some of the tables and chairs were also shaking.

"Dover?"

Trebol, not understanding what was going on, uttered a sound.

"Whether it's you or not... I'm more interested Hell Pirates."

North Blue, Hell Pirates.

Overnight, the name became famous throughout North Blue.

The news has spread far and wide.

This group of newcomers plundered Fish Head Island, which belonged to the Donquixote Family.

Furthermore, despite being surrounded and attacked by numerous enemy ships, he single-handedly annihilated all the enemies.

The sheer scale of this victory is astounding... no less than someone single-handedly ending a war between nations! What kind of monster-level rookie One Piece is this?

Could it be that... another absolute powerhouse is about to emerge in the North Blue, one who will become famous throughout the sea?

It should be noted that quite a few powerful individuals have emerged from North Blue.

The vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Ben Benn Beckman, the Flower Vista of the Whitebeard Pirates, Doflamingo, and even the infamous Avalo Pizarro Avalo... even on the Navy's side, two of the three admirals are from the North Blue.

Among the four sea areas, North Blue has a great many talented people, which is no joke.

However, among these powerful figures on the high seas, almost none of them could cause such a sensation and event when they first set sail and were still newcomers.

Rumor has it that this Hell Pirates was only recently formed.

In a short time, various materials and information about the Hell Pirates began to be collected and disseminated by various forces.
