An Alternative Tacit Understanding

Under Nami's control, the surrounding clouds began to change, gradually bringing in some wind.

The winds were at a moderate speed, just enough to disperse the fog that was obscuring the island.

"Nami's ability is really convenient," Chopper remarked.

The Cloud Cloud Fruit- Devil Fruit is really perfect for Nami.

"I can do a lot of things with this Devil Fruit ~" Nami said with a smile.

Now, it all depends on when that guy Luo will show up on the coastline.

Just then, a strange movement occurred below, as if something was moving rapidly underwater.

This change immediately caught Sanji's attention.

"Um?"

"What's wrong?"

Perona glanced at Sanji with a puzzled look. Had this guy discovered something?

Speaking of which, Sanji's Observation Haki is quite Lihai.

There's something underwater.

Sanji quickly reached the side of the ship, glanced down at the sea, frowned, and said, "And a lot of them."

"A lot of?"

Chopper was taken aback. What did he mean by "a lot"?

Just as he was wondering, the sea suddenly burst open, and one after another, enormous Fighting Fish rushed out!

"Aww!"

The Fighting Fish roared and then launched an attack on the Thousand Sunny.

Upon seeing this, Sanji was immediately enraged.

"Get out of here!"

"Whoosh~"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sanji's body vanished from the spot in an instant.

When it reappeared, it was already above the head of the Fighting Fish.

Then, he kicked it hard.

"Bump!"

An incredibly terrifying force slammed into the Fighting Fish, kicking it so hard it screamed and flew backward.

This scene stunned the other Fighting Fish, causing them to stop their attacks.

"Amazing!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly, "Let's take them down, Sanji!"

Sanji's lips curled up upon hearing Chopper's voice, then he looked down at the Fighting Fish and said coldly, "If you don't leave, I'll turn you into sashimi."

Perhaps it was these words that provoked these Fighting Fish, causing them to go into a berserk state, their eyes turning redder than the last.

Then, these guys launched another attack on the Thousand Sunny.

This change gave Sanji a bit of a headache.

If only he knew Conqueror's Haki, then he wouldn't have to beat them up one by one.

After shaking his head inwardly, Sanji used Geppo to dash out.

But before he could kick a few away, he noticed that the Fighting Fish were sinking into the sea one after another, their expressions looking particularly dejected.

Sanji:???

This was done by... Perona?

"Hala hala hala~"

"Looks like I'll have to be the one to rely on in times like this," Perona said with a smile.

Even though she only has one Negative Ghost here, it doesn't stop her from using her Devil Fruit powers to take care of these big guys!

Hala hala hala~

Nami smiled upon seeing this; it seemed she didn't need to use lightning.

With that thought in mind, she raised her hand and moved the Thundercloud that had just been brewing to another location.

"Truly worthy of Miss Perona," Brook said.

"That's it!"

The Little Ghost proudly raised its head, looking just like a proud little swan, which made everyone laugh.

Perona's personality is quite interesting.

"Alright, I've blown the fog away." Nami looked at the coastline and said, "Now we just have to see when Law arrives."

"Profound!"

'Come after me, Doflamingo!'

Law, running frantically down the road, glanced sharply at Doflamingo behind him, then thought to himself, 'Let me lead you to the bridge!'

If he can lure the other party onto the bridge, he can find an opportunity to send Caesar onto the Thousand Sunny.

In this way... he can fight Doflamingo without restraint, thus buying the ship time to leave.

With that thought in mind, Luo quickened his pace and soon burst out of the forest, running towards the bridge ahead.

"Um?"

Doflamingo looked surprised as he watched Law run straight toward the bridge.

"Are you planning to cross the bridge?" Doflamingo asked in surprise. "Do you want to go to Dressrosa?"

"How foolish! Once we get there, it'll be my home turf."

Then, what awaits Luo is an attack from the Donquixote Family.

As for Straw Hat?

Even if you include the entire Straw Hat Pirates, they still couldn't be a match for the Donquixote Family, so he couldn't understand Law's thoughts.

Has this guy really gone mad?

With these questions in mind, Doflamingo quickly chased after Law.

Just then, Doflamingo seemed to sense something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly stopped moving, landing steadily on the ground.

"Um?"

That is...

Looking at the pirate ship on the sea, Doflamingo said, "If I remember correctly... that's the Straw Hat Pirates' ship!"

"Oh, I see."

"Fufufufufu!"

The quick-witted Doflamingo immediately figured out Law's purpose.

This guy is definitely trying to escape using the Straw Hat Pirates' ship!

But unfortunately... fate wasn't on his side.

Fufufufufu!

Upon seeing the clearly visible pirate ship, Law's expression immediately changed.

Why did the fog surrounding the Green Bit dissipate?

Damn it, if the ship gets destroyed, they're really doomed!

"Luo, I know what you're thinking, but you won't succeed~"

"Fufufufufu~"

After laughing a few times, Doflamingo used the power of the String-String Fruit to fly up and quickly flew towards the Thousand Sunny.

"Wait a minute, Doflamingo!" Law shouted, "This has nothing to do with them!"

"How could it be unrelated!"

Doflamingo sneered, "The moment they agreed to ally with you, they were already doomed!"

Anyone who dares to oppose the Donquixote Family will pay an extremely heavy price!

So... this time, he's going to wipe them out, boat and all!

Fufufufufu!

After glancing at the pirate ship, Doflamingo gradually increased his speed.

Meanwhile, the crew on the pirate ship were still discussing what to do next after picking up Caesar.

Just then, Chopper seemed to notice something, picked up his binoculars and glanced at the coastline, then shouted in alarm, "Hey!"

"Doflamingo is here!"

Why was it Doflamingo, that Evil Star, who came looking for them first, instead of Law?

"Where's Nara?" Sanji asked quickly, "Have you seen that guy?"

"I saw him. He's standing on the other side of the coastline with Caesar."

"And Doflamingo... flew straight towards us!"

Sanji:???

What do you mean by "Doflamingo flew directly towards them"?

Does Doflamingo also know Geppo?

With this in mind, Sanji turned to look at the coastline, preparing for battle.

"We miscalculated," Nami frowned. "We didn't expect this guy to be able to fly."

Therefore, if they want to escape their pursuers, they need to get out of here much faster.

With that in mind, Nami began to manipulate the clouds behind the pirate ship, planning to unleash her strongest power and escape the moment she picked up the person.

"What should we do?" Perona asked. "Should I bring Zoro and the others over?"

"Ha?"

Sanji immediately bristled upon hearing this.

"You mean, I need that guy with the Green Algae Head to save me?"

Although Doflamingo is Shichibukai and his strength is undoubtedly formidable,... well, I'm not bad either!

If Zoro can beat this guy, then he definitely can!

"Hey, is this the time to be arguing about this?" Chopper stared blankly at Sanji and said, "The most important thing to do is to call for reinforcements right now."

This time, Sanji didn't answer the question. Instead, he stared intently at Doflamingo and said, "You guys get ready to provide backup. I'm going to deal with that guy."

Since Sanji had already said that, Chopper didn't say anything more.

Perona immediately informed Zoro of the situation, but to her surprise, Zoro readily agreed that leaving it to Sanji was no problem.

"Hmph, if that guy can't even handle this simple matter, he might as well be thrown into the sea."

Seeing that Zoro had already said so, Perona couldn't say anything more and could only choose to believe Sanji.

"Don't rush," Nami said, her eyes fixed on Doflamingo charging towards them. "Let me give him a little something first."

She had initially thought that if she randomly struck thunder, it might not harm Caesar or Law, so she had some reservations when she was building up the Thundercloud.

But since Doflamingo has delivered himself to my doorstep, then... I might as well give this guy a proper welcome!

Thinking of this, Nami's lips unconsciously curled up, and she also manipulated the Thundercloud that he had just moved away.

Just then, Jiao La woke up, his eyes gradually regaining their clarity.

"What am I doing...?"

As if remembering something, Jiao La cursed, "You wretched Cat Burglar, how dare you treat me like this! The young master will not let you get away with this!"

"Then let's see if your young master can survive," Nami sneered.

If that guy gets struck by his own lightning and falls into the sea, then Doflamingo is doomed!

So... I'll just have to teach him a lesson!

Nami then stopped wasting words with Jiao La and instead controlled the Thundercloud to fly towards Doflamingo.

This change immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Um?"

Doflamingo glanced up at the sky, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said, "The color of these clouds... was it done by that woman named Nami?"

So that's how it is. It seems that the cloud changes Fujitora mentioned earlier were caused by that woman.

It seems the other side came prepared.

Although I don't know what the other party intends to do with the Cloud- Cloud Cloud Fruit, its power is practically useless against a strong opponent like myself.

Not only will it be useless, it will also provide him with a better mobile platform!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo sneered and continued charging towards the Thousand Sunny.

Jiao La, as if realizing something, suddenly stood up and looked towards the coastline, then shouted, "Young Master, watch out for thunder!"

"Shut up!"

Nami punched Jiao La on the head, telling him to shut up and avoid revealing his information.

But Jiao La ignored the other's actions and instead shouted even more excitedly, "Watch out for thunder!"

Upon hearing Jiao La's shout, Doflamingo instinctively glanced at Jiao La, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes. These bastards dared to treat his family like this! They're asking for death!

This time, he was determined to eliminate these guys in the most ruthless way.

Then, he looked up at the now dark and gloomy overhead, bracing himself for an attack.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the area where Doflamingo was located with pinpoint accuracy and illuminating the entire region.

Doflamingo, who was taking the hit, immediately wrapped his coat in Armament Haki and then completely covered himself with it to defend against the lightning attack.

At the same time... he also released a large number of Silk Thread, which he wrapped around the clouds in the sky to prevent himself from being struck by lightning and falling into the sea.

Of course, these Silk Thread were also wrapped with Haki; otherwise, Silk Thread would have melted and disintegrated the moment they came into contact with the lightning.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Young Master!!!"

Seeing Doflamingo completely engulfed by lightning, Jiao La's eyes widened in fury, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Could it be... that her young master is gone?

"Doflamingo is probably finished," Chopper said.

Being struck by lightning of that magnitude, even if one survives, it would be impossible to remain suspended in mid-air.

As Devil Fruit User, Doflamingo would drown if he fell into the sea!

Sanji frowned upon hearing this. Was Doflamingo doomed?

But why... did that guy's aura not change much?

Nami ignored their thoughts and continued to control the Thundercloud, relentlessly striking Doflamingo with lightning.

Although she didn't know if her Devil Fruit ability could actually defeat Doflamingo, since she had chosen to take action, she was determined to finish him off without holding back!

If she can actually kill a Shichibukai this time, then... her title as the Weather Queen might be truly cemented.

"Click!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Stop it, Cat Burglar!" Jiao La shouted, "Stop it!"

No way.

Nami snorted coldly, showing no intention of stopping.

Now that they've become mortal enemies, then... she absolutely cannot hold back!

Nami then ignored the howling Jiao La and focused intently on manipulating the clouds to unleash lightning, attempting to strike that bastard Doflamingo dead!
