Old-timer Shichibukai Were No Pushovers!

"So, you received intelligence that someone was going to attack the Thousand Sunny, which is why you contacted us in such a hurry?" Nami asked.

After hearing Sanji's explanation, she roughly understood what he was thinking.

This is because they're worried that the Donquixote Family's executives will defeat them and steal the Thousand Sunny.

In this way, not only are they in danger, but everyone else in Dressrosa is also in danger!

"Yes."

Sanji nodded and said, "I was worried something might have happened to you, so I thought I'd contact you."

However, judging from the current situation, his worries seem to be unnecessary.

"You underestimate us too much," Nami said, rolling her eyes.

She's no longer that weak woman who needed protection.

Now, she's a powerful Weather Queen!

Moreover, Brook and Chopper are also here, so it's really impossible for an ordinary person to defeat them.

Sanji smiled upon hearing this, but didn't refute it, because he was indeed a little too concerned.

Don't worry.

Nami said, "With me here, the Donquixote Family's executives will never be able to steal the ship."

She can guarantee that.

I believe it.

Sanji nodded, then continued, "Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you."

"Go ahead and say it."

"We've been tricked by Doflamingo."

At this point, Sanji's expression turned very serious, and he continued, "Doflamingo did not resign from his position as Shichibukai."

Upon hearing this, Nami and the other two were immediately stunned.

What do you mean by saying that Doflamingo's resignation Shichibukai is fake?

"Hey, what are you saying, Sanji?" Chopper stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi and said, "How could this be fake?"

"That's right."

Brook looked at the Den Den Mushi with a puzzled expression and said, "This has been in the newspapers, how could it be fake?"

"You haven't been scammed, have you?"

He didn't believe Doflamingo could deceive the entire world; that was something no Shichibukai could do.

Nami looked at Sanji with some doubt, clearly questioning the veracity of the matter.

After all... that incident made the newspapers!

"Just now, I saw the latest newspaper, and it said that the report of Doflamingo resigning Shichibukai was False Report!" Sanji said with a grim expression, "Although I don't know exactly how Doflamingo did it, it's the truth."

Upon hearing Sanji's explanation, the three men's expressions completely changed.

Since Sanji has substantial evidence, it means that the information is not false.

This means... they were tricked by Doflamingo?

"How did he do that?" Nami asked incredulously. "How could he deceive the whole world?"

Is this something a Shichibukai could do?

Chopper and Brook stared blankly at the Den Den Den Mushi, unable to figure out what was going on.

Sanji couldn't figure it out either, so he subconsciously glanced at Violet, clearly wanting to see if she knew anything about it.

But this time Violet shook her head at him, because she didn't know the truth either.

This puzzled Sanji. Had Doflamingo not told anyone about his plan?

"It's a pity this guy's already passed out." Chopper glanced down at Jiao La, who was unconscious with his Byakugan rolled back, and said, "Otherwise, we might have been able to get some information out of him."

"Don't think about it," Nami shook her head and said, "She's just being stubborn."

Even though they were stunned by the electric shocks, Jiao La didn't reveal any information, so Nami didn't expect him to say anything.

"She's already fainted?"

Upon hearing that Jiao La had fainted, Violet knew it was pointless for her to speak now, so she said, "Asking Jiao La won't do you any good, because someone of her rank wouldn't know much more than I do."

Although her position as a cadre was somewhat special, she didn't believe that Jiao La knew more than she did.

After all... she's not the Top Executive!

Hearing Violet's words, Nami revealed an "I knew it" expression. No wonder Sanji had that look earlier; it was because of her, wasn't it?

"May I ask who you are?"

Sanji instinctively wanted to explain, but Violet spoke first, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that the information Sanji received was given to him by me."

Upon hearing this, Nami subconsciously frowned.

Was it given to Sanji by the other party?

That made her even more curious: who exactly was this person?

But since the other party didn't want to say for the time being, Nami didn't ask any further. Anyway, Sanji would tell them sooner or later.

"Okay, I understand."

Nami nodded, then said, "However, Sanji, I can't go back to Dressrosa to pick you up right now."

"Um?"

Sanji was taken aback by what he heard, then asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Although they don't necessarily need Nami to come immediately, something seems off about what Nami said.

Has something happened over there again?

"Not long ago, that guy Law called us and demanded that we go to Green Bit immediately to pick up Caesar," Nami explained. "But he didn't tell us what happened, he just asked us to come right away."

After speaking, Nami paused for a moment, then continued, "However, after hearing your information, I can understand Law's thoughts now."

She genuinely didn't understand Law's thoughts before, since their plan was to return Caesar to Doflamingo.

But things are different now; now she knows what the real information is!

That bastard Doflamingo is just lying to them!

So it's perfectly normal for Law to want to bring Caesar back.

After all... they can't let their enemy Doflamingo, get his way!

"Luo did the right thing."

Sanji said in a deep voice, "Without Caesar, Doflamingo is incapable of creating SMILE again."

"After that, all we need to do is destroy the Factory to put Doflamingo in a desperate situation again."

It's fair to say they have a very good chance!

Violet, who overheard their conversation, had a flicker in her eyes. If they could really use this to put Doflamingo in a desperate situation, then... the Kingdom of Dressrosa might be saved!

Violet's eyes lit up at this thought.

But after considering the consequences of doing so, Violet became worried again.

In that case, Sanji will also be in danger.

Although she desperately wanted her country to be saved, she also didn't want Sanji and his crew to fall into crisis.

For a moment, Violet was truly conflicted.

Nami frowned subconsciously. Was it really okay for the woman next to Sanji to know about this?

After all, Sanji's character...

However, considering that the information was provided by the other party, Nami stopped worrying about it.

Now, she has no choice but to trust Sanji's judgment.

"If things really develop as you say, it would indeed be advantageous for us," Brook said. "But the prerequisite is... that Law can successfully return Caesar to us."

After speaking, Brook paused for a moment, then continued, "This is probably not a simple matter."

"That's right."

Nami also figured out some of the key points and said in a deep voice, "The reason Law was so anxious to send us there is most likely because he has already been engaged by Doflamingo."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted this way."

Nami isn't stupid; she can naturally connect these key pieces of information.

"They've already clashed with Doflamingo...?"

Sanji's expression turned somewhat grim, clearly having also considered what Nami had thought of.

In that case, Nami might encounter Doflamingo if they go to the Green Bit.

Although Law is quite strong, nobody knows if he's a match for Doflamingo!

'If we can beat them, that's fine, but if we can't... Nami and the others will be in danger.'

After all, Nami and her crew couldn't possibly be a match for the powerful Shichibukai.

Thinking of this, Sanji was about to say something, but before he could speak, Violet said from the side, "That Shichibukai named Trafalgar Law is probably no match for Doflamingo."

"How so?"

"If he could really beat Doflamingo, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to contact you," Violet analyzed.

Although she didn't know the other party's strength, she was certainly aware of Doflamingo's strength!

Therefore, she guessed that Trafalgar Law was probably no match for a veteran Shichibukai like Doflamingo.

Sanji and Nami thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement; this possibility was indeed quite high.

"So, does that mean we'll be facing Doflamingo in the Green Bit this time?" Chopper asked, his face grim.

If that's really the case... will they still go?

If I go, I might get killed by this Shichibukai.

However, considering that there were still their crewmates there, Chopper abandoned the option of not going, because the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't abandon their crewmates!

There's a very high chance we'll run into that guy.

Nami's expression was also unpleasant, because she didn't want to fight someone like Doflamingo.

But in order to bring Caesar back, and to pick up Usopp and Robin, they had to go.

Sanji, having overheard their conversation, paused for a moment, then turned to Violet and asked, "Can you see the situation in the Green Bit?"

"No, it's too far," Violet shook her head.

While her Devil Fruit ability allows her to see very far, that distance is still limited, so it's impossible for her to see what's happening on another island.

Seeing that Violet was also unable to do anything, Sanji had no choice but to give up the idea of getting information from her.

Nami looked at the Den Den Mushi with some confusion. What did she mean by "can this woman see what's happening over there?"

Is she also Devil Fruit User?

"Although I don't know what's going on in Green Bit, since we've decided to go, let's go." Sanji said in a deep voice, "Afterwards, I'll head over there too."

With his strength, protecting his companions and helping them escape from Doflamingo shouldn't be a problem.

As for fighting?

He had no interest in dealing with Doflamingo.

After all, in his view, the safety of his companions was the most important thing.

"We understand."

Nami breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's proceed according to plan. We'll go to the Green Bit to pick up Caesar and Robin."

With Sanji as a powerful ally, Nami was no longer so afraid.

If they all team up, they'll definitely be able to get rid of Doflamingo smoothly!

As for the other side chasing us by boat?

What a joke! She's Devil Fruit User; it would be strange if she could be caught by him.

"Don't be careless," Sanji said. "I can't get there immediately, so be careful."

Nobody knows if Doflamingo might suddenly abandon Law and attack the Thousand Sunny, so we have to be careful.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Nami said with a smile.

"Sanji, you'd better hurry up and get here!"

After treating Jiao La's injuries, Chopper turned around and stood in front of the Den Den Mushi, saying, "We have to get there before Doflamingo!"

I tried my best.

Sanji couldn't be sure he'd get there before Doflamingo, since he didn't know how far Doflamingo was from Chopper and the others.

"Where are you now?" Violet suddenly asked.

Nami hesitated upon hearing this, clearly unsure whether to reveal her location to the woman, since the woman hadn't mentioned her name at all.

But because of Sanji, the other party seems somewhat credible.

so...

"Tell us the location," Sanji said, clearly noticing Nami's worry. "That way we can get there faster."

The implication is that Miss Violet is credible, indeed.

Since Sanji had already said so, Nami gave him her location information.

Upon hearing this, Violet turned her head and glanced to the side, using her Devil Fruit powers to take a look.

Unfortunately, the distance was too great for her to see the pirate ship.

However, based on her understanding of Dressrosa, she quickly deduced the approximate location of the Thousand Sunny, and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell Sanji the direction."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Nami's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this. What did she mean by saying this was something she should do?

What exactly happened between this woman and Sanji?

Then, as if she had just thought of something, Nami said, "By the way, do you know the specifics of the Green Bit?"

"Did Doflamingo have any men lying in ambush?"

"This..."

Violet looked embarrassed upon hearing this, as she had absolutely no information on the subject.

As for using Devil Fruit abilities to see...?

Her eyes couldn't even see the entire island, so naturally she had no way of knowing whether Doflamingo had secretly mobilized troops.

"Okay, I understand."

Nami, realizing that Violet couldn't give a clear answer, decisively gave up asking.

"That's all for now, see you later."

"Good."
