Doflamingo's Confidence, Everything Was Under Control~

"Young Master, the Straw Hat Pirates ' ship has appeared," baby5 said.

After speaking, she told Doflamingo about her subordinates' report.

Not long ago, the Straw Hat Pirates ' ship appeared nearby, seemingly intending to leave Dressrosa.

Strangely, her subordinates didn't see the Straw Hat Pirates on the enemy's ship, leading her to conclude that the enemy might have already infiltrated Dressrosa.

As for why her subordinates only discovered it when the enemy pirate ship had left... she had no idea.

"Fufufufufu~"

"Things are progressing more smoothly than I expected," Doflamingo said with a smirk.

The Straw Hat Crew ' ship has appeared, so how far are we from capturing them?

Fufufufufu~

"Should we go find them now?" baby5 asked.

If we had intercepted the Straw Hat in Dressrosa, we could have taken them out beforehand.

There's no need for that.

Doflamingo shook his head and said, "This guy isn't a threat for now."

After saying that, Doflamingo paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Besides... I also need this guy to stay here."

As he finished speaking, a hint of mockery appeared in Doflamingo's eyes.

He knew very well how close Straw Hat and Fire Fist Ace were, so... once Fire Fist D. Ace confirmed that Straw Hat was here, even if it meant facing Marine Admiral, that guy wouldn't abandon Straw Hat Luffy!

He intends to take advantage of this and, with the help of the Navy, wipe out the Straw Hat Crew, Law, and the Spade Pirates in one fell swoop!

As for whether the other Four Emperors will be interested in the Diamond Fruit?

Although he had previously rejected all trade requests, he wouldn't mind trading the Devil Fruit if the Four Emperors actually sent someone.

After all... this was just a tactic he used to lure Ace away, wasn't it!

"Should we just leave them alone for now?" Baby5 frowned. "What if they cause trouble?"

Although the Straw Hat with the 500 million bounty poses no threat to their young master, a major disturbance could still cause considerable losses.

"Don't worry, they won't dare cause any trouble," Doflamingo sneered. "At least not until that guy Law returns Caesar to us."

Seeing that Bobby 5 still looked puzzled, Doflamingo patiently explained, "The Straw Hat Pirates most likely infiltrated Dressrosa to look for the Factory, but that place is generally inaccessible to ordinary people, so the Factory is safe for now."

After saying that, Doflamingo paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides... the key parts of the Factory are made of Sea Stone, so even if they find them, they won't have the ability to destroy them. Therefore, we have plenty of time."

He could have easily killed Law and the Straw Hat Crew before they destroyed the Factory!

"Yes, I understand, young master."

"Um."

Doflamingo nodded, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Any news about the Spade Pirates?"

It's already the day the duel is supposed to start, why haven't those guys arrived yet?

Could it be that you're not interested in this Devil Fruit?

That shouldn't be the case...

"I don't know," Baby5 shook her head and said, "We haven't received any messages from the Spade Pirates."

Therefore, she couldn't be sure where the other person was now.

Doflamingo's expression darkened upon hearing this; it was certainly not good news for him.

Although he used the secret of the Celestial Dragons' National Treasure to get the World Government to cooperate with him, it wouldn't matter if Ace wasn't captured.

But... if he could capture Ace, he wouldn't need to expend resources to resolve the consequences of what happened before.

At the same time... he can also get more benefits from the World Government!

So if possible, he hoped Ace would come to Dressrosa.

"Young Master, could it be that Fire Fist Ace doesn't care about this matter?" baby5 asked tentatively.

This time, Doflamingo didn't answer, but instead frowned and pondered.

After a moment, he said, "Based on what I know of Fire Fist Ace, he doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Unless that guy has been hiding his true self all along, the other party will definitely come.

However, now that this problem has arisen, he needs to find a solution.

Thinking this, Doflamingo thought to himself, 'If Fire Fist Ace really doesn't come, then I'll have to find a way to keep Straw Hat here.'

That way, he'll be 100% certain of luring Fire Fist Ace over.

After all... the bond between those brothers is truly strong!

After a moment's thought, Doflamingo asked, "How's the message going?"

According to the plan, all the Donquixote Family henchmen had to carry out an order.

The order was: upon encountering unfamiliar faces, to find a way to spread the word about the Fighting Arena and the prizes.

Especially the relationship between the Diamond Fruit and Fire Fist Ace!

This needs to be made clear!

In that case, even the Straw Hat Crew in disguise might become interested in this Fighting Arena.

Once the Straw Hat falls into the trap, he's confident he can keep him here forever!

What if the Straw Hat Crew turns a blind eye to this...?

This was just one part of his plan, not the only one.

"It has already been passed on."

baby5 said, "If they enter the town, they will most likely find out about this."

Although she didn't know what methods the Straw Hat Crew would use to find the SMILE manufacturing Factory,... as long as they showed any intention of coercing a low-level member, they might fall into their trap!

I must say, this plan is truly brilliant.

"That's good." Doflamingo nodded and said, "Notify me immediately if you have any news about them."

"Yes, young master!"

"Um."

"By the way, where is Trebol?" Doflamingo said, "Have him come to see me; I have some things to tell them."

"I don't know either, but I can go find him now."

"Good."

Doflamingo turned and walked into the house, then, as if remembering something, said, "Where are Diamante and Pica?"

They're already inside waiting for you.

This time, Doflamingo didn't waste any more words. He turned around and walked into the house, arriving a moment later in a room that symbolized the family's status.

There were several chairs inside, and only the Top Executive of the family were qualified to sit in those chairs!

"Fufufufufu~" Doflamingo pushed open the Great Gate, grinning at his good brother, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Diamante ~"

"Pica ~"

"What do you want with us, Doflamingo?"

Doflamingo didn't answer the question this time. Instead, he walked to the window and looked towards the Colosseum with a smile.

That's where Fighting Competition are held.

"The Colosseum is always a grand spectacle, no matter when," Doflamingo said with a smirk. "You agree, right?"

Pica didn't say anything upon hearing this, but merely glanced at Diamante beside her.

Diamante, as if struck by a sudden realization, smiled and said, "That's true."

As a man who ruled the Colosseum, he knew very well how prosperous it was.

"Diamante, it's all because of you~" Doflamingo said.

"Not at all, this is all thanks to your influence as King," Diamante said modestly.

No~

"That's your skill."

"Come on," Diamante waved his hand and said, "I'm not some Colosseum hero."

"No, you are the hero of the Colosseum!"

Don't say that!

"Oh~" Doflamingo said with a smile, "Then I won't say anything."

The moment Doflamingo finished speaking, Diamante shouted excitedly.

"Since you've said so, then I'll admit it!" Diamante said without hesitation, "That's right, I am the hero of the Colosseum, the absolute ruler of duels!"

"Fufufufufu~"

Hearing Diamante's words, Doflamingo laughed even harder.

Although my family members have somewhat eccentric personalities, they are all very reliable partners!

With them here, I'm sure I can keep the Straw Hat Crew and Fire Fist Ace here!

Just then, Trebol walked in from outside, quickly approached Doflamingo, and said, "Hey~"

"Doflamingo, I brought you the things."

"You're too close," Doflamingo said with a hint of exasperation.

Looking at the snot waving back and forth in front of his face, Doflamingo didn't know what to say.

Doesn't this old rascal know he has a long snotty nose?

"Huh?"

"What's too close?"

Trebol seemed not to understand, and with a grin, he moved even closer to Doflamingo, which only made Doflamingo more helpless.

"Alright, hurry up and go sit down in that seat over there."

"Okay~"

Trebol knew what was wrong with his snotty nose, so he turned around and went back to his seat.

It's fine to tease the young master, but don't make him get too angry.

"With this, the chances of Straw Hat taking the bait are quite high," Doflamingo said.

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately turned their gaze to the box in Doflamingo's hand.

"The Straw Hat, huh..."

"Um."

Doflamingo nodded, then took the box and walked up to Diamante, saying, "Diamante, this is entirely your responsibility."

"Wait, Doflamingo, this isn't my forte."

No, you're the most suitable.

"Don't say that, it's like you're praising someone to the skies."

"No, only a genius like you could do something like that."

"Stop like that, look at what you're saying."

Seeing that Diamante was still being modest, Doflamingo withdrew his hand with some regret, saying, "Then forget it."

"Since you put it that way, then I'll just admit I'm a genius!" Diamante declared loudly without hesitation. "I'll definitely teach that Straw Hat a lesson!"

"Fufufufufu~"

"They're so reliable!"

Doflamingo laughed heartily Devil Fruit to Diamante, clearly delighted.

Just as he had thought, with such a family around, what great things couldn't he accomplish?!

Trebol, standing to the side, chuckled, then looked at Doflamingo and said, "Doflamingo, what if Fire Fist Ace also participates in the duel?"

Upon hearing this, Diamante immediately wiped the smile off his face.

Although he was somewhat arrogant, he knew that a player with a bounty exceeding one billion was not someone he could easily defeat.

So he also wanted to know how his young master had made arrangements.

"Don't worry, that guy most likely won't choose to participate in the duel," Doflamingo said. "After all, he knows what he means to the Navy."

Therefore, in his view, the other side most likely sent people to infiltrate and search for the whereabouts of the Diamond Fruit, and then quickly finish the battle.

But this is exactly what he's been waiting for!

If the other party dares to show their face, he can immediately contact the Navy to surround and kill Fire Fist Ace!

At that point, hell will be waiting for them.

"What if this guy comes to participate in the duel?" Pica said in a sissy voice.

"Isn't that even better?"

Doflamingo laughed and said, "We can also use him to deal with the strong competitors in the future."

As for the final...

Doflamingo paused slightly at this point, then sneered, "I'll have the Navy cooperate with Diamante to capture him!"

Since Diamante won't be showing up before the final, he doesn't need to worry about Diamante's safety.

As for whether the other side will directly attack Diamante?

If the other party really doesn't follow the rules of the game, then there's no need for him to continue following them; he can just go for the final step.

"Yes, I understand," Diamante said with a smile.

That's true. He doesn't need to play before the finals, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Pica Pica, Pica la la~"

Pica laughed loudly and said, "As expected of Doflamingo!"

"This time, Straw Hat and Fire Fist Ace are doomed!"

If the plan proceeds perfectly enough, they can take down both groups at once!

"The head of the Pirate King's son can definitely be traded for a lot of things," Diamante sneered.

Although he didn't know how Doflamingo negotiated with the World Government, he was certain that such a guy could get a lot of benefits in return!

"That's natural."

Doflamingo's eyes flickered, and he said, "This guy can get unimaginable benefits in return."

At that time... his strength will improve even further.

Fufufufufu~

Fufufufufu!

"By the way, Doflamingo," Trebol said, as if he had just remembered something, "What if the other Four Emperors Crew send people?"

"Fufufufufu~"

"That's even better."

Doflamingo sneered, "We can also use them to weaken the Spade Pirates!"

They certainly wouldn't dare to arrest him easily, but using members of other Four Emperors Crew to attack Fire Fist D. Ace shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, if the other party doesn't appreciate the goodwill...

He wouldn't mind having Sugar turn the other person into a toy!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo's eyes began to flicker.

This seems more interesting!

Fufufufufu~

Fufufufufu!!
