"That said, didn't they say this was a lawless zone? Why does it feel so orderly? Well, aside from the ground being a bit of a wreck."
After enjoying a satisfying meal, Zhu Mang had left the 35th Grove with Doflamingo and was now in the 27th Grove, heading toward one of the "leisure spots" the lawless zone had to offer to unwind.
"A group of rookie pirates caused a scene on the island not long ago; one of them was bold enough to attack a Celestial Dragon, fufufu~ But those idiot rookies were mostly wiped out by Admiral Kizaru. These are just the remnants of that incident that haven't been cleaned up yet," Doflamingo explained patiently.
Zhu Mang actually recalled it once he mentioned it.
In the original story, a plot point preceding the Summit War involved the eleven supernovas with bounties over 100 million—the so-called "Worst Generation"—landing on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Luffy, in an attempt to save the mermaid Keimi from an auction, had punched Saint Charlos of the Celestial Dragons at the slave auction house, drawing the pursuit of Admiral Kizaru.
In the end, the Straw Hat crew was "killed" by Tyrant Kuma—or rather, swatted away to various islands to begin their so-called "two-year training arc."
The other supernovas of that era were all caught in the fallout as well.
These pirates, who had run rampant in the Four Blues or Paradise, received their first harsh reality check from the world.
Even if they joined forces, they were completely outmatched in front of an Admiral.
They didn't even need an Admiral to intervene; they couldn't even defeat the mass-produced Pacifista.
"It's a pity the impact of that event wasn't enough; it hasn't even been that long, and the Celestial Dragons are already daring to come back down," Zhu Mang chuckled as he looked at the people kneeling in rows ahead, and the two figures with transparent fishbowls on their heads emerging.
"My lord, we have arrived. Please, this way," Doflamingo's expression shifted slightly, and he hurriedly turned to guide Zhu Mang into a building beside them.
He was so nervous because he hadn't detected a shred of respect for the Celestial Dragons in this lord's tone.
Even the powerhouses of the sea rarely had a good attitude toward those idiots with fishbowls on their heads.
To avoid unnecessary conflict, he felt it was better to keep the two parties separated.
What if he fired off an energy wave like he did before...
Would the Sabaody Archipelago just vanish?
Although Doflamingo wasn't one to fear trouble and had witnessed this lord's strength, he felt it was best not to let them clash unless absolutely necessary when it involved the Celestial Dragons.
"Heh," Zhu Mang followed leisurely behind Doflamingo as they walked inside.
He had indeed wanted to take a look at these "Celestial Dragon" things earlier.
But thinking about it, the most important thing right now was to get to Marineford to watch the show.
If he stirred up trouble at this critical juncture, he might miss the main event.
Wouldn't that ruin his "travel plans"?
—Though he didn't really have any plans to begin with.
Other than playing and eating.
But since he had transmigrated and become invincible, he had to find some sense of ritual in his life.
Next, in what Doflamingo introduced as the best pleasure house on Sabaody, Zhu Mang truly enjoyed what it meant to be lost in luxury.
He suddenly felt like the life he had lived before was absolute misery!
The female Saiyan warriors didn't even compare!
Although the female Saiyan warriors were physically strong and unrestrained—even boasting that they could PK with him in the air—the ladies here were all professionally trained, and from various different races.
There were Longarm, Long-ear, Rabbit-ear, and Fox-tail tribes... he had no idea how the One Piece world had so many humanoid races.
There was even a "big sister" who supposedly had Giant blood, standing nearly five meters tall.
Fortunately, Zhu Mang was physically robust, and he fought seven in and seven out, leaving the enemy forces in total disarray.
Doflamingo watched this, silently adding a few more labels to Zhu Mang in his mind.
At the same time, his confidence in winning him over increased a little more.
What he didn't know was that after staying there for two days and going back and forth a few times, the sense of novelty suddenly faded, and Zhu Mang felt that everything had become dull and tasteless.
That morning, he woke up from bed, went to the bathroom, and looked at his haggard reflection in the mirror. He carefully sensed his combat power and felt as if it had dropped a little.
So, he smashed the glass with a heavy blow, causing the entire building to rumble so loudly that people almost thought it was an earthquake.
"Wine and lust are ruinous; they have left me this haggard. From today on, I am giving up alcohol!"
Zhu Mang walked out of the room, passing a group of men and women who were rushing out in a panic, some not even fully dressed, and found Doflamingo, who was already waiting in a small suit.
"Did Lord Gebinz have a good time?" Doflamingo asked with a smile.
"It was average," Zhu Mang stretched, "Their constitutions are too weak; they are far inferior to the female warriors of my race."
"Your clansmen... must be very powerful as well, fufufu~" Doflamingo's heart skipped a beat as he probed.
"Mm, they are indeed quite powerful. Some could probably wipe out this world, haha," Zhu Mang said casually.
He wasn't bragging.
Even if they weren't late-stage Super Saiyans, even in the early stages, Saiyans capable of planet-busting were everywhere.
Theoretically, in Dragon Ball, anyone with a combat power over ten thousand already had the ability to destroy a planet.
Therefore, even a guy like Zhu Mang with a combat power of only 1,000 could reach 10,000 after transforming using the natural moon!
Not to mention Vegeta, who had a base combat power of 18,000 when he first appeared.
He could reach 180,000 after transforming into a Great Ape!
He could destroy the Earth just by casually firing a blast at its core.
Doflamingo let out a dry laugh, "Fufu~ that is indeed very impressive..."
He didn't know if this was bragging or the truth.
However, the strength of this lord was certain.
Through his observations over the past few days, he could now conclude that the physical strength of Lord Gebinz was even greater than that of Kaido, who was known as the strongest creature he had ever seen!
If every member of his race possessed such strong physical qualities, then these mediocre women probably really couldn't compare to the female warriors of his race.
But how could such a powerful race have never revealed a single shred of information before now?
Or could it be that he came from... beyond the sky?
Could he be a moon person?
As an underworld emperor with the Celestial Dragons as an information channel, Doflamingo's understanding of some of the world's secrets definitely exceeded that of most people.
So he knew that, in reality, beyond the land beneath their feet, there was actually a place hanging high in the outer reaches known as "Fairy Vearth."
It was just that, until now, he had always thought it was merely a legend.
He had never taken it seriously.
"If you like, my lord, why don't I accompany you to Gran Tesoro for some fun after we finish watching this incident?"
