Law Was Almost Angered to Death-What the Hell Is Straw Hat Leader Doing?!
"After we get through this town, we should be able to reach the Green Bit," Usopp said.
According to the information I've gathered, this should be the last town.
"If the intelligence is correct, that's how it is," Luo nodded.
"Joker..."
Caesar, standing to the side, gazed expectantly at the distant town, wondering what he should do after Doflamingo rescued him.
Yes, we must kill these Highland brats!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
"What's that idiot laughing at now?" Usopp said, glancing at Caesar.
Upon hearing Usopp's words, Caesar immediately stopped laughing, then casually looked away, as if to say, "I didn't think of anything at all."
However, this blatant attempt to conceal something is truly baffling.
Having spent a long time navigating the Underworld, Law and Nicole Robin knew all too well what that expression meant.
Unfortunately, this guy's heart was in their hands, so even if Caesar wanted to do something, he couldn't make a fuss.
"Ignore him," Luo said. "We..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Den Den Mushi?"
Seeing Den Den Mushi, Usopp's expression changed. "Did something happen to someone else?"
Let's hope nothing unexpected happens.
"I don't know," Luo said, frowning.
His instincts told him that this phone call might not be good news.
"You'll find out once the connection is established," Nicole Robin said.
This time, Luo simply nodded without saying anything more, and then answered the phone.
"Kaga ~"
"It's me," Xi Yan said.
"It's Sunglasses, huh?" Luo said. "What's up?"
At that moment, he really wanted to hear the other party say, "The Factory location has been found."
"There was a slight mishap," Xi Yan said. "We also obtained some intelligence, so I thought we should communicate with you."
"Speak."
Luo revealed an "I knew it" expression, then nodded and asked, "What is it?"
"We encountered someone here who appears to be Marine Admiral."
Upon hearing this, the pupils of Luo's group shrank to their smallest size.
Admiral?
Marine Admiral?
"Are you sure?!" Luo asked quickly.
Usopp, somewhat exasperated, exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?!"
Why would they encounter Marine Admiral here?
"Although it's only a suspicion, I'm very confident that I can confirm that he is Fujitora," Xi Yan said.
All the characteristics match up, and given the opponent's considerable strength, Xi Yan can basically confirm that the person is Marine Admiral Fujitora!
"This is troublesome," Nico Robin said with a grave expression.
Although Xi Yan is very strong, the presence of Marine Admiral here means there is a risk!
Thinking of this, Nico Robin looked at Law and continued, "Shall we continue?"
Luo didn't say anything, but his expression turned very ugly.
Should we continue?
If possible, he would certainly like to continue!
After all, this might be his only chance for revenge in his life, and if he gave it up, he might really have no way to kill Doflamingo.
But if Marine Admiral or something like that appears... the risk is too great.
Although he's willing to die alongside Doflamingo, the Straw Hat Crew might not be willing to continue with his plan this time.
Thinking of this, Luo's expression became even more unpleasant.
"Say something!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly. "But I suggest we abandon this plan, after all, that's Marine Admiral!"
They had faced Marine Admiral before and knew very well how terrifying monsters those guys were.
So just give up, that way you won't lose your life.
Caesar's expression turned somewhat grim, thinking to himself, ' Marine Admiral?'
Why Marine Admiral be here?
Was he here to capture the Joker?
That won't do! If the Joker gets captured, he's completely finished!
Thinking of this, Caesar felt like crying, but he was afraid that Law and the others would notice something, so he could only hold it in.
"The Admiral is indeed a problem, but..." Luo pondered for a moment, then said, "Why is the Admiral here?"
Normally, Marine Admiral shouldn't be in Dressrosa at this time.
Even if the Navy wants to eliminate Doflamingo, they should wait until the Wanted Order is issued before taking action.
So this doesn't make sense!
Unless... unless Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu is an extremely decisive person!
Therefore, the moment he received the news that Doflamingo had resigned from the Shichibukai, he immediately issued the order to deploy Admiral!
This explains why the Admiral be here.
But this raises another question: since the Marine Admiral have all appeared, why haven't they fought Doflamingo?
Unless... unless the Admiral wasn't here to capture Doflamingo!
But how could that be?
Doflamingo's actions were a slap in the face to the Navy!
In this situation, wouldn't the navy arrest him?
This is clearly somewhat unreasonable.
But Luo couldn't quite figure out where the problem lay.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to listen to what Xi Yan had to say.
"Based on my analysis, the Marine Admiral has come with a mission this time," Xi Yan said. "And the target of this mission may not necessarily be Doflamingo."
Upon hearing this, Law's pupils contracted sharply. Could it be that Doflamingo had joined forces with the Navy?
But what gives him the right?
What makes him think he can command the navy's obedience?
As if sensing Luo's thoughts, Xi Yan said, "This matter is rather complicated. Are there no other people around you?"
"Only Caesar."
"Let's knock him out first," Xi Yan said. "I don't think that should be a problem for you as a doctor."
"Certainly."
Luo nodded; this was a very simple matter for him.
Then, he turned and stood before Caesar, who was wearing Seastone Handcuffs, and slowly raised his hands.
"Hey, don't lay a hand on me, I won't..."
"Bump!"
Before Caesar could finish speaking, he was lulled to sleep by Law.
After casually tossing Caesar to the ground, Law sat on him and said, "Now you can talk."
"Um."
After carefully recalling what he had done, Xi Yan said, "This story begins before we entered the town."
"Can you get to the point?" Luo said somewhat helplessly, "We're pressed for time."
Although we're not far from the Green Bit, we still need to make some arrangements, so we need to hurry.
"I'm going to keep it short and sweet," Xi Yan said, rolling his eyes.
Why is this guy in such a hurry?
After silently cursing to himself, Xi Yan said, "Before entering the town, I spoke with Luffy's older brother on the phone and obtained some useful information from him."
"Straw Hat Leader's older brother?"
Luo was stunned for a moment, then remembered who the other person was.
The greatest pirate of the New World, Fire Fist Ace!
I never expected that the guy in Sunglasses would actually know that man.
"It's Fire Fist Ace," Xi Yan explained first, then continued, "You remember the Diamond Fruit that Doflamingo mentioned before, right?"
"Remember."
Law nodded, then, as if he had just thought of something, said, "You mean... because of this Diamond Fruit, the Spade Pirates are also planning to come to Dressrosa?"
"And this Marine Admiral's target is actually Fire Fist Ace?"
"Brilliant!!" Xi Yan exclaimed in admiration.
I only pointed it out once and the other person thought of so much; their mind is indeed quite sharp.
"If that's the case, then we shouldn't have any problems on our end," Luo said.
As he spoke, his expression gradually returned to calm.
"How could there not be problems?" Usopp exclaimed frantically, "Even if Ace and the others come, we could still be attacked by Marine Admiral!"
The thought of such a thing made Usopp feel terrible.
That's Marine Admiral!
Even though Xi Yan was here, he still felt very scared.
Wait... Xi Yan isn't with him!
Thinking about this, Usopp felt like crying.
Luo can't beat Admiral, can he...?
"Calm down, Usopp," Nico Robin said. "Things aren't as bad as you think."
"What's the meaning?"
What do you mean by "things aren't as bad as he thought"?
This time, Nico Robin didn't explain; she simply glanced at the Den Den Mushi.
That look seemed to say: Xi Yan is in Dressrosa, what are you afraid of?
Usopp:...
He knew about this, of course, but the other person wasn't around.
Luo ignored the exchange between the two men and focused intently on the Den Den Mushi, saying, "Sunglasses- wearing Boss, what other discoveries or thoughts do you have? Share them all."
Although he had some ideas in mind, he still decided to listen to what the other party had to say first.
"Based on my guess, Doflamingo has probably already reached some kind of cooperation with the Navy," Xi Yan said. "For example... capturing Fire Fist Ace or our Straw Hat Pirates in exchange for the title of Shichibukai!"
"However, judging from his actions, it's more likely that he wants to capture Ace."
After all, it's unlikely that Doflamingo obtained this Devil Fruit on a whim. Therefore, Xi Yan believes that Doflamingo must have had the idea of using the Diamond Fruit to capture Ace a long time ago, but this time he just happened to be there when they forced him to give up his title of Shichibukai.
Although it was somewhat of a coincidence, for Doflamingo, this was his chance to turn the tables!
"I see!"
Both Law and Nicole Robin wore expressions that said, "I knew it."
Although Xi Yan's explanation wasn't exactly the same as what they thought, it was pretty close.
"Wait, why do you both look like you just knew it?" Usopp stared at the two of them dumbfounded, which made him look rather silly.
"Because I've lived in the Dark World for a long time, it's easy for me to grasp the deeper meaning," Nicole Robin explained.
"Me too," Luo said in a deep voice.
Since Corazon was killed by Doflamingo, he has been wandering the seas, so he has experienced just as much as Nico Robin.
Usopp opened his mouth, so out of the three, he was the only normal person?
Law ignored Usopp's reaction, offered a brief explanation, and then turned his attention back to the Den Den Mushi.
He then said, "In other words, Fujitora's main target this time is the Spade Pirates."
"That's not entirely true," Xi Yan said. "Doflamingo's targets could also include us."
After saying that, Xi Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover... I don't know if the Marine Admiral might change his mind and arrest us."
"Changed your mind at the last minute?"
Luo frowned and said, "Did something else happen?"
"Right."
"We met that Marine Admiral while we were eating," Xi Yan explained. "However, he didn't seem to have any intention of attacking us."
"I just don't know if they don't have this idea yet, or if they're afraid of alerting the Spade Pirates and letting them escape."
This second idea was something he had just come up with.
If Fujitora is worried about alerting the Spade Pirates, he might temporarily abandon his attack on the Straw Hat Pirates.
"You mean..." Luo said, his face grim, "He's already recognized you?"
"That's right," Xi Yan said. "After they left, they said something specifically."
Afterwards, Xi Yan told the others everything that had happened during their meal, which made them understand what had happened on Xi Yan's side.
Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Luo was so angry that he couldn't even maintain his composure.
"What on earth is Straw Hat Leader doing?!" Law said through gritted teeth. "Does he even realize where we are?"
Daring to meddle in enemy territory... doesn't he know the meaning of death?
If Doflamingo finds them, they're doomed!
Hearing Luo's words, Xi Yan simply shrugged and didn't say anything more.
After all, that's just Luffy's personality; he didn't look for anyone.
Luo had naturally thought of this as well, but he was just so angry!
'Damn it, if I had known the Straw Hat Leader had this kind of personality, I wouldn't have cooperated with him!' Law roared inwardly.
But there's nothing we can do now; things have already progressed to this point, and there's no going back.
So he could only continue cooperating with the Straw Hat Crew, tears welling up in his eyes.
"That's why I advised you that way back then," Usopp said with a hint of helplessness. "Did you think I was joking with you?"
He had told Luo very seriously to think it over before making a decision, but the other party didn't pay any attention to his words at all.
So... he'll have to bear the consequences himself.
Luo:...
After glancing at Usopp, Law fell silent.
That's true, but he never expected the Straw Hat Leader to be this outrageous!
