In the original story, Doflamingo took Dressrosa without much effort.
However, Doflamingo was still very cautious.
After all, King Riku was still a good man.
To avoid provoking unnecessary public anger, Doflamingo used Sugar's ability to turn King Riku and everyone who tried to resist him into toys.
Now that Doflamingo had Victor as his backer, he naturally became bolder.
Since he had already dealt with Victor, taking Dressrosa would be no problem.
He could just let loose and get it done.
In the future, Doflamingo would build casinos in Dressrosa, engage in the slave trade, and manufacture weapons.
Compared to King Riku, who could not even produce ten billion Berries,
Doflamingo was far better at making money than King Riku.
In the year 1513 of the Grand Line Era,
the sun shone brightly, and the weather was clear and pleasant.
Although he had experienced many unpleasant things the previous year, Zephyr returned to his regular duties after going back to the military academy.
He became an excellent teacher once more, devoting himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Navy's future.
That day, the annual internship period arrived again.
Zephyr led a Navy training ship out for field training.
Ain, Binz, and the others were aboard, their faces filled with curiosity.
It was their first time going out on a mission.
This mission was to head to Branch 85, and it would last three months.
During those three months, they had to complete various assignments, including daily patrols, searching for pirates, and ship maintenance and upkeep.
As long as they passed this three-month internship, they could be assigned to various units.
Although they would still have a year of internship remaining, once they joined a unit, they would basically be real soldiers.
Navy Branch 85.
The branch base commander was Green Ham.
