Xi Yan Burst Out Laughing, This Guy Was Getting More and More Ridiculous

"Hey~"

"Your His Majesty the King!"

Why did you resign from the King?

"Please give us an answer!"

"Your His Majesty the King!"

The Dressrosa Citizens looked up at the Royal Palace high above and shouted as loudly as they could, wanting Doflamingo to come out and give them an explanation.

Unfortunately... Doflamingo never answered this question from beginning to end.

At this moment, he was sitting in his room, silently looking at the Den Den Mushi that Luo had given him earlier.

He's done the deed; now he's just waiting for that brat Luo to call him.

Just then, the Den Den Den Mushi wearing a hat suddenly rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

Hearing the iconic sound of the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

The fish... finally took the bait!

After letting out a cold laugh, Doflamingo walked up to the Den Den Mushi and connected Den Den Mushi.

"Kaga ~"

"It's me," Doflamingo said. "I've resigned from my Shichibukai."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's voice, Usopp and the others immediately tensed up.

"Is that Doflamingo?!" Luffy shouted.

"Hey, keep your voice down!"

Usopp looked at Luffy nervously and said, "They'll hear us!"

Xi Yan glanced at Usopp, somewhat speechless, and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous!"

Usopp retorted, "Those are the Shichibukai!"

"Then what?"

Xi Yan gave a strange look and said, "Does he not know we're here if he doesn't speak?"

You have to understand, they did this job with Luo.

Under these circumstances, how could Doflamingo not know they were here?

Usopp:...

That's true, but he always has to hide some faults, so that Doflamingo won't...

Okay, that's definitely a bit of self-deception on his part.

Seeing that Usopp had calmed down, Xi Yan shook his head helplessly.

This guy is clearly not weak anymore, so why is his personality still the same old jerk?

"Hello, this is Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy snatched the Den Den Mushi from Law's hand and said, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Usopp sighed resignedly.

Well, there's no way to stop this guy now.

"Um?"

"That voice is..."

Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Doflamingo subconsciously frowned. If he remembered correctly, this sounded like the Straw Hat's voice.

"Doflamingo, you're one of yours for bullying Tea Beard and his henchman Caesar, aren't you!" Luffy continued, "I can give this idiot back to you, but if you do something like this again, I'll beat you up too!"

"Fufufufufu~"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Doflamingo immediately laughed. This guy was as arrogant as ever.

This was true two years ago, and it's still true now!

"Why are you laughing?"

"Straw Hat," Doflamingo sneered, "You've been gone for two years, haven't you? What have you been doing?"

"I've decided not to bring this up again, so don't expect to get any information from me!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"Then forget it."

Doflamingo didn't think much of it; it was just a casual question anyway.

It would be best to get the intelligence, but it doesn't matter if we don't.

Then, Doflamingo laughed and said, "Straw Hat, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."

"Will you challenge me?"

Ah~

"I had this idea two years ago," Doflamingo said with a smirk. "It's just a pity that you all disappeared after the Marineford War."

He remembered what the Straw Hat said during the Marineford War, so... he really wanted to kill that kid!

It's a pity I never had the chance.

"What do you want from me...?"

"Hey, Luffy, don't go along with him!" Usopp grabbed Luffy's arm and said, "Otherwise, he'll lead you by the nose!"

"You're right!"

Luffy realized what was happening and promptly shut his mouth.

Doflamingo didn't seem to care, and continued, "Straw Hat, I have something very interesting in my hands right now."

"Not only is your brother interested in this, but you might also find it extremely interesting!"

"Something that would interest both Ace and me?"

Luffy was stunned for a moment upon hearing Doflamingo's words, and then his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

"That... that meat must have been incredibly delicious!"

Doflamingo:???

Doflamingo was immediately filled with questions. Had he mentioned the word "meat" in anything he just said?

Also, why is Straw Hat so concerned about meat?

Is this guy sick or something?

Thinking of this, Doflamingo was immediately rendered speechless.

"Hey, Straw Hat Leader!" Law grabbed Luffy's face and said, "Don't fall for it!"

Doflamingo is a master at manipulating people's minds; if you're not careful, you might fall into his trap!

Unfortunately, Luffy was completely deaf to Law's words at that moment.

All he could see now was meat; nothing else mattered.

"Luffy, you better pull yourself together!" Usopp yelled, grabbing him by the neck. "Don't let his flesh tempt you!"

"Meat... delicious meat~"

"Shut up!"

Knowing that words couldn't wake Luffy, Usopp decisively raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face, the sound sending chills down everyone's spine.

Doflamingo:...

It seems the Straw Hat Pirates really are crazy.

"It's not meat, it's the Diamond Fruit," Doflamingo said expressionlessly.

Unfortunately, Luffy was completely deaf to Doflamingo's words at that moment.

Xi Yan frowned subconsciously; he really hadn't expected that Diamond Jozu's Devil Fruit would fall into Doflamingo's hands.

"Joker!" Luo grabbed the microphone and said coldly, "Stop with the nonsense, let's get straight to the point!"

Doflamingo is very good at manipulating people's minds, so it's best to be on guard.

As for that Diamond Fruit?

He wasn't interested.

"Fufufufufu~"

"That would be perfect." Doflamingo said with a smirk, "I also advise you not to try anything funny, or you won't be leaving here alive!"

"You don't need to tell me that," Luo sneered.

Things have come to this point, and neither side has any room for maneuver, so they can't just leave like that.

"Alright, Law," Doflamingo said, "Let me hear if my most important guest is safe."

Upon hearing this, Luo glanced at Caesar and simultaneously took out his heart, signaling the other party not to say anything unnecessary.

He then pointed the microphone at Caesar and asked him to keep him safe.

"Joker!" Caesar exclaimed excitedly, "I'm so sorry... because of me, you can't even be Shichibukai anymore."

"I..."

Without giving Caesar a chance to continue rambling, Law took the microphone back.

"Now you hear that, right?" Luo said expressionlessly. "This guy's got a lot of energy now."

"Yes, I heard you."

"Alright then."

Luo said, "Eight hours from now, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I will place Caesar on the beach south of the isolated island of Green Bit, north of Dressrosa."

"After this, you can do whatever you want with this guy, but any further contact is out of the question!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"That's pretty cold of you," Doflamingo grinned. "We haven't seen each other in ages. I was hoping we could have a drink together..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Luffy shouted, "End the call now!"

"Kaga ~"

Seeing the Den Den Mushi disconnect the call, Doflamingo's smile immediately froze; he clearly hadn't expected the other party to so decisively end the connection.

That's really... disrespectful to him.

After letting out a cold snort, Doflamingo's smile returned.

"You can be smug for now," Doflamingo sneered. "Once I find you, I'll kill you all!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"Fufufufufu!"

After shutting down the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo got up and walked outside.

Today is the day these brats die!

Ah~

"That was close!" Luffy of blood at the corner of his mouth. "I almost followed his lead again."

"When you say that, could you please remove the flesh from your eyes?!" Usopp retorted.

Their eyes have turned into fleshy shapes!

"Could Doflamingo really be talking about meat?" Merry asked curiously.

"Definitely not," Perona rolled her Byakugan.

Although she didn't know what Doflamingo was talking about, she was certain it wasn't some delicious meat.

After all... there's only one Luffy has in the whole world!

Merry thought about it for a moment, and it seemed quite unlikely.

"You guys hung up a little too fast," Sanji said, frowning.

"What's wrong?"

"We didn't specify their numbers!" Sanji said. "What if Doflamingo brings a large group to the exchange location?"

Although he didn't particularly care about that jerk Law, he did care about Nico Robin!

Oh, right, and Usopp too.

These three are the people chosen to go in this hostage exchange; if anything goes wrong, all three of them will be in danger.

"It's alright, it doesn't matter even if he does that," Luo said calmly. "After all, in this plan, Caesar is just bait."

Even if the other party brings a group of people, it doesn't matter; he can simply sneak away with Leader Nico and Long Nose.

"In that case, we're also in a tight timeframe to destroy the Factory," Perona said.

If Law manages to stall for very little time, then they might run into Doflamingo.

"And we don't even know where the Factory is," Nami added.

After speaking, Nami paused for a moment, then looked at Law and continued, "Don't you have a Factory location here?"

"Can't get it."

Luo shook his head and said, "We just can't get this information no matter what we do."

Otherwise, he would have risked sneaking in long ago and destroyed the Factory.

"It seems that this kind of core intelligence isn't so easy to obtain," Nami said.

That's true. If Doflamingo's lifeline were so easy to find, he would have been killed long ago.

After all... the New World is full of great pirates!

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find it in a place as big as Factory." Franky grinned. "Once we find it, I'll destroy it with a laser!"

"Super!"

In the end, Franky struck his signature pose again, looking like he was confident they could handle this, which made Law's eyelids twitch.

Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it still feels a little strange.

"Tra-man," Luffy asked curiously, "Have you actually been to Dressrosa?"

"Dreshlova?"

At that moment, an image of an old woman in a dress popped into Nicole Robin's mind, which brought a smile to Robin face.

Luffy's imagination is truly fascinating.

"It's Dressrosa!" Luo corrected loudly.

"Oh... Dressrosa ~"

So, did you go or not?

"No," Luo said stiffly. "That place is the enemy's headquarters; how could we just go in like that?"

He would never take the risk unless he could obtain the Factory's exact location.

Therefore, he didn't know anything about Dressrosa.

"Looks like we'll have to wait and see," Luffy grinned, "Adventure, adventure, a grand adventure~"

"I can't wait, Dressrosa!"

Seeing Luffy's state, Law spoke up, "Straw Hat Leader, that's not a simple place, so let's fight..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luffy walked past him and called out to Sanji, "Sanji, I'm hungry. What's for breakfast today?"

"A sandwich~" Sanji said with a grin.

"Ah!"

"Then I want a marshmallow sandwich!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly.

"I want one too!"

Little Merry also raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to eat the same food as Chopper.

"I'll just have some Black tea," Nico Robin said with a smile.

"I want a Coke!"

"Yohohohoho~"

"Then could I have a glass of milk, please?"

"A Beef sandwich, please!"

"I'll have a vegetable sandwich then~"

Upon hearing Nami's request, Perona smiled and said, "Count me in."

"Although I don't know what a sandwich is, I'd like one anyway."

"Got it!" Sanji said with a smile. "Wait here, I'll get it done for you right away."

"Profound!"

Luo, who had witnessed all these people's reactions, gradually began to lose his composure.

Then, without thinking, he exclaimed, "I hate bread slices the most!"

"Forehead..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo's face turned green.

What on earth is he talking about?

Why was he led by the nose?

And... while it's true he hates bread slices, why did he have to say it so superficially, you bastard!

Hehe~

Seeing Luo's reaction, Xi Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Luo is getting more and more of a goofball.

Luo:...

Upon hearing Xi Yan's laughter, Luo's face immediately turned even greener.

Why can't he maintain his aloofness after being with the Straw Hat Crew, you bastard?!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Um?"

Upon hearing the jerk's quiet laughter, a cold glint flashed in Luo's eyes.

"Don't!"

"My heart!"

Upon seeing the familiar heart in Law's hand, Caesar immediately became obedient.

I've already behaved myself, please let me go.
