Bursting Qi!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Doflamingo, standing to the side, broke into a fit of coughing.

Even though he was quite wary of Vice Admiral Tsuru, who frequently hunted him down, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

Having spent two days with Zhu Mang on the Sabaody Archipelago, in his mind, this Lord Gebinz had already become synonymous with a "lecherous glutton."

As for the beautiful woman in the photograph Vice Admiral Tsuru had pulled out, even through the eyes of a man like Doflamingo, who believed that "women have no place in the heart of a man focused on his career," she was undeniably a top-tier beauty.

Most importantly, this woman was also a powerhouse.

She was a Marine Headquarters Admiral candidate, "Momousagi"!

It was said that her strength was nearly on par with an Admiral, but because the current three Admirals were all in their prime, the World Government had no desire to further bolster the Marine's strength, which was why she had yet to be promoted.

According to his latest intelligence, Momousagi should currently be stationed at a Marine base in the New World alongside the other Admiral candidate, Chaton, to ensure the Marines didn't lose their foothold in the New World while the Headquarters was engaged in conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates.

He still remembered what Lord Gebinz had said to him when he found him early this morning.

"These women are too weak!"

And now, Momousagi was absolutely one of the most formidable women in the world.

As for the other powerful female, the Yonko Big Mom, she clearly wouldn't suit this lord's tastes.

Unless he had some very peculiar fetishes...

So...

If Lord Gebinz were to be captivated by Momousagi and even join the Marines, how could he ever recruit him into the Donquixote Family?

No way!

Isn't it just a beautiful woman?

I have those in my family too!

Doflamingo took a few small steps forward, came to Zhu Mang's side, leaned in, and whispered, "Lord Gebinz, actually, there are several people in my family who have long admired you. For instance... there is the mature and charming Violet, the most attentive maid Baby-5, and the half-bird woman Monet. If... if you prefer someone younger, there is also Sugar; although she is in her twenties, she possesses a face full of childlike innocence."

Zhu Mang: ???

What the hell?

What mature charm, attentive maid, half-bird woman, and a twenty-something with a childlike face?

What the hell do you take me for?

Zhu Mang glared at Doflamingo, speechless.

So damn infuriating.

You're ruining my reputation!

Do you think I'm Master Roshi?

Hawkeye, standing right there, saw his own expression gradually crumble.

What had he just heard?

The Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo was actually acting as a pimp?!!

He seriously suspected that he was hallucinating from the exhaustion of using Yoru to row through the water on the way here.

It seemed he needed to hide an oar under his boat; that way, he wouldn't ruin his cool image of roaming the seas with nothing but a single sword and a small skiff, and he wouldn't be so tired when no one was around.

Of course, that was just a joke.

However, Hawkeye was truly shocked at this moment.

Doflamingo's current behavior and his almost sycophantic attitude were like night and day compared to the impression he had left in the past.

He almost thought the man in front of him was an impostor!

"Shut up!" Zhu Mang scolded him, somewhat annoyed.

If I let you keep talking, my reputation will be completely destroyed!

Even if I don't care about that sort of thing.

That doesn't mean I don't want to have one!

Doflamingo immediately realized his mistake and obediently shut his mouth.

Only then did Zhu Mang look back at Vice Admiral Tsuru.

He took the photo from her hand. Although there were differences between the real person and the manga, given her attire, her extraordinary physique, and the relationship between her and Tsuru, he immediately associated her with the Admiral candidate, Momousagi.

He had to admit, the temptation was certainly there.

Ninety percent of the named female characters in the manga had some level of beauty.

And among that ninety percent, it was almost impossible to find one with a poor figure.

After all, it was a Japanese manga.

To boost sales, they always designed the female characters with incredibly hot bodies and then added outfits that left as little to the imagination as possible.

And when the manga bled into reality, it created a unique allure.

Zhu Mang had already experienced this back on Sabaody Archipelago.

It was infinitely more exhilarating than any cosplay.

After all, in reality, there was no such thing as a manga-proportioned body.

Even if there were, it would either be the result of technology or something completely unattainable.

Yet Momousagi, in a One Piece world teeming with beauties, stood firmly among those at the very pinnacle.

Pah!

What kind of person did they take this Zhu for!

Zhu Mang tucked away the photo of Momousagi and said righteously, "I will certainly make the acquaintance of this beautiful lady if the opportunity arises. However, Granny, shall we discuss my trade instead?"

After a moment's thought, to increase his persuasiveness, Zhu Mang took a few steps back and clenched his fists.

"Ah—"

All output relies on shouting.

BOOM!

Accompanying his low roar, a hurricane-like force, as if reaching level twenty, swept out from his center.

The reinforced ground beneath his feet cracked and shattered inch by inch.

At this moment, the entirety of Marineford began to tremble once more!

No, not just Marineford!

The tremor instantly swept outward.

The seawater surrounding Marineford rapidly receded.

The naval warships from all over the world, docked in the harbor of Marineford, began to sway violently.

The clouds in the sky scattered frantically outward.

And nearby.

Doflamingo's eyes widened, feeling as though he could no longer breathe.

He instinctively coated his entire body in Armament Haki and released his own Conqueror's Haki, but even so, he still found it difficult to draw breath.

Aokiji, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Hawkeye Mihawk were in no better state; the three of them turned pale, struggling desperately to withstand this astonishing pressure.

As for the Major General from Sabaody Archipelago who had been responsible for transporting Zhu Mang and Doflamingo, he had already been blown away, landing in the distant sea.

In the face of this aura, Vice Admirals, Shichibukai, and Admirals alike seemed to have become nothing more than frail, ordinary people.

It was a terrifying sensation, a shuddering of every cell in the body when faced with an impending catastrophe!

"Quick... stop!" Aokiji, who was in a slightly better state, roared out.

Whoosh—

Only then did Zhu Mang stop elevating his Ki.

"Eh? What's wrong with you all?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

Do you have no idea what's wrong with us?

However, none of them dared to voice that thought right now.

Vice Admiral Tsuru wiped the sweat from her forehead and clutched her waist. "Oh my, how have the young people of today become as terrifying as monsters? You don't even know how to respect your elders, leaving this old woman in such a state~"

Yet Zhu Mang remained unmoved.

Helpless, Vice Admiral Tsuru had to abandon her attempt to play the elder card and turned to Aokiji. "You go and calm down the ships in the harbor first; I will take them to see Sengoku now."

"Right," Aokiji glanced at Zhu Mang with lingering fear before turning away, using Geppo to fly toward the warships that had fallen into chaos in the harbor.
