Decision

"Luffy, tell me who's over there with you," Nico Robin said.

"I currently have Tra-man, Zoro, and..."

Luffy stopped at this point because he didn't know how to address the two people behind him.

As if understanding Luffy's thoughts, Violet spoke up, "Richard Dold III, I am Viola, you can also call me Violet."

"Your King Riku!"

"Princess Viola is here too."

The Tontatta immediately showed excitement; they were so glad they had survived!

Rebecca was equally excited, after all, these two people were her family!

"Oh, I see. There are five people in total. I understand." Nico Robin nodded, then continued, "I'm currently..."

Before Nico Robin could finish speaking, she noticed that Klar had left without her noticing, while Sabo quickly rushed uphill and disappeared from her sight.

"Um?"

"What's the meaning?"

Why did these two people split up?

"What's wrong, Robin?"

"It's nothing, anyway... I'm with Usopp, Perona, and Rebecca right now."

"Now, we're also planning to head over there."

There are guys all over this country who want them dead, so going to a place like the King's Plateau is the safest option, at least there are very few people there who can find them.

"Okay, I got it. Get here soon," Luffy said.

"Um."

"Kaga ~"

After ending the call, Luffy handed the Den Den Mushi to Zoro, indicating that he should put it away.

"Straw Hat Leader."

Law, who had been watching Luffy's every move, frowned and said, "Do you even understand?"

"Our battle plan is to destroy the SMILE Factory, keep Doflamingo alive, and provoke Kaido into a conflict with him."

"If you kill Doflamingo now, Kaido, having lost SMILE, will unleash all his fury on us."

"Then we'll be facing off directly against the enraged Four Emperors. Have you thought this through?"

Luo's expression was extremely serious as he said these words.

He needed to make this guy aware of the Lihai before the war even started.

King Riku and Violet fell silent upon hearing Luo's words, simply watching the group in silence.

It can be said that the ensuing dialogue directly influenced the direction of this country.

If the Straw Hat Pirates give up attacking the Donquixote Family, then their country will be completely finished.

However, they couldn't speak up at this time, as that could easily displease the other party, so they could only wait for the other party's decision.

Zoro calmly watched Law, because he knew exactly what choice Luffy would make.

"We'll talk about the rest when the time comes," Luffy said, looking at Law. "Right now, I just want to beat that Doflamingo guy up."

"Um?"

Luo was stunned for a moment. What kind of answer was that?

"Take a good look at this country!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes wide. "What will happen if I stop now?"

"You should know that, right?"

After Luo's explanation, he now knew what that damn Birdcage was.

In this situation, how can he stop?

If they stop, Doflamingo will kill everyone in this country!

And this included his friend Rebecca and that soldier guy!

He wouldn't allow that to happen, so he was going to personally beat that Doflamingo guy to a pulp!

Luo fell silent. He knew, of course he knew.

Having witnessed the power of the Birdcage firsthand, he knew exactly what Doflamingo was up to.

But he didn't expect that the Straw Hat Leader would choose to confront Doflamingo head-on for this reason.

Isn't this guy a pirate?

After staring intently at Luffy for a while, a thought popped into Law's mind.

'You really don't seem like a pirate.'

However... this feeling isn't bad at all.

As if he had just thought of something, Luo's lips unconsciously wanted to turn up, but he suddenly felt that it wouldn't be good to laugh, so he forcibly suppressed it.

"Alright, let's go!"

Luffy put his arms around Zoro and Law's necks and said, "Let's go find that Mingo Doflamingo over there and beat him to a pulp!"

At this Luffy couldn't wait to beat that bastard Doflamingo to a pulp.

"Wait a moment."

Luo quickly said, "Take off my handcuffs first."

Going to Doflamingo in handcuffs would be suicide; he didn't want to just go and die like that.

"It will open by itself in a bit."

"You think you can open your own head?!" Luo roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "These are Seastone Handcuffs!"

Whose Seastone Handcuffs can open by themselves, you bastard!

"I know where the key is," Violet said.

"Where?!"

Law's eyes lit up immediately. If they could unlock the handcuffs, the two of them working together could definitely take down Doflamingo!

"It was on me before, but because it fell, the key flew off." Violet looked around and said, "I think it must have landed somewhere high up in the Royal Palace."

"If you look carefully, you should be able to find it."

Luo:...

Luo's expression froze. "Why didn't you take it out sooner?"

That stupid woman!

Now, the key has flown away to who knows where, and he can't even break free of the Sea Stone chains.

"Don't worry, I'll find the key," Violet said earnestly.

As she spoke, she decided to use the power of the Devil Fruit to search for the key.

But before she could even begin, she saw Luffy carrying Luffy and Zoro as he rushed off into the distance.

Luo:???

No, what do you mean?

Zoro, on the other hand, remained calm, which is in line with Luffy's style.

"How do you plan to get there?" Zoro asked calmly.

"Is that even a question?" Luffy said without hesitation, "Of course we'll just charge straight in!"

Even a fool knows that rushing straight ahead is the fastest way, so he chose to rush straight ahead!

Luo:...

So, is this guy planning to just jump?

"Hey, Straw Hat, are you planning to jump right off here?" Violet stared at Luffy and said, "That's too reckless!"

This is the King's Plateau, hundreds of meters above the ground!

Unfortunately, Luffy didn't care about that and ran even faster.

"Just you wait, Doflamingo!"

Luffy leaped Luffy, carrying the two of them with him, and roared, "I'm coming to beat you to a pulp!"

After saying that, the group quickly plummeted towards the ground.

As the ground drew ever closer, Luo's expression gradually became numb.

So, does this guy really enjoy causing trouble?

"How pathetic."

Watching the civilians uncontrollably attacking others, the Marines said with grim expressions, "He can't even control what he wants to do... that bastard Doflamingo really is..."

The thought that the culprit behind this was a Shichibukai made the Marines turn ashen with rage.

Do these damned Shichibukai really have any reason to exist?

"Commander Yixiao."

The Vice Admiral glanced down at Fujitora beside him and said, "Aren't we going to arrest Doflamingo?"

Doflamingo's evil deeds are already public knowledge, so why not just arrest him directly?

As for the opponent's strength?

No matter how Lihai Doflamingo is, he could never be a match for Mr. Issho.

So he never worried about this issue from the beginning.

"First, do everything in your power to stop the thugs who are committing violence," Fujitora said in a deep voice. "Prioritize protecting the civilians in Dressrosa."

After speaking, Fujitora paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, inform the whole crew that our target is the Straw Hat Crew and Law's pirate alliance."

"Ah?"

The Vice Admiral hesitated for a moment. Should they still go and capture those two groups of pirates at a time like this?

The most urgent task right now should be to take care of that Doflamingo guy.

After all, that guy seemed to be planning to wipe out the navy as well.

But Fujitora didn't explain the problem; instead, he turned to look in the direction of the Bullfighting Arena, where a large number of people were rushing out!

"A large group of people have rushed out of the underground Colosseum!" a navy officer exclaimed in shock. "What's going on?"

"It's probably because of changes in the terrain that the underground and above-ground areas have become connected."

"Look, there are World Government officials, soldiers, and pirates inside!" Another Marine pointed to the crowd and said, "They should be the laborers who were turned into toys by Doflamingo before."

"There are just too many people..."

"Gurgle."

The man swallowed hard and said, "I never imagined so many people would be enslaved by Doflamingo without even realizing it."

The Donquixote Family is truly terrifying.

Where is the Straw Hat?

Cavendish rushed out and shouted, "Where's that guy?"

At this point, he no longer wanted to kill the Straw Hat, but there were some things he still wanted to say to him face to face.

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, since no one else knew where Luffy was at that moment.

Seeing this, Cavendish didn't waste any more words and quickly rushed out through the gap, intending to go and take a look at other places.

"At least we made it out alive," Maynard said with a sigh of relief.

He then rushed towards the area where the navy was located and soon arrived at the side of the Vice Admiral.

"Who gave you permission to infiltrate, Maynard?" the Vice Admiral roared. "How dare you act without authorization... What if you die?"

If it weren't for the Straw Hat Crew's actions, Maynard might never have been remembered by them until his death.

That bastard!

"I'm sorry, but... that's why I've learned part of the truth," Maynard explained. "If we had impeached Doflamingo, the world might have been tilted."

"By the way, where is Commander Yixiao?"

As he spoke, Maynard began searching for Fujitora, and soon found Fujitora not far away.

Maynard's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed towards Fujitora.

"Commander Yixiao, I've obtained some evidence of Doflamingo's crimes!" Maynard said quickly. "That guy turned many people into toys, including Taxi Soldiers from Dressrosa, Navy officials, and World Government officials."

"Under these circumstances, he can forget about becoming Shichibukai!"

By the end, Maynard's face was filled with anger.

That bastard actually dared to touch even their own people... He's practically asking for death!

"No."

"No?"

Maynard was taken aback. What did he mean by "no"?

Why not?

Doflamingo has gone to such lengths, surely the Navy can't arrest him?

Are you kidding me?!

"Commander Yixiao, what this guy did is absolutely outrageous!" Maynard exclaimed excitedly. "He should be arrested immediately!"

Otherwise, even more people will be harmed by that bastard.

As for that damn game?

Maynard never paid attention to this from the beginning, after all, they had a Marine Admiral on their side, so he didn't need to worry about this issue.

Upon hearing Maynard's words, Fujitora stopped in his tracks, then silently looked up at the sky, his expression gradually turning ferocious.

His Observation Haki allows him to clearly perceive his surroundings, so he knows exactly what the people here are going through.

Anger, despair, pain...

A multitude of negative emotions are mixed together, weaving a melody called tragedy.

And the composer of this piece is none other than Doflamingo!

It can be said that the existence of the Shichibukai is the greatest insult to justice!

"Commander Yixiao?"

"You've been in the Navy for a long time now, Mr. Maynard," Fujitora began. "Hasn't the Navy repeated the same tragedy many times before?"

At this point, Fujitora paused, his arm veins bulging.

Then, in an extremely angry tone, he said, "Are we to continue to turn a deaf ear to this mournful cry filled with rage?!"

"These people aren't crying; they're angry!"

"Is the World Government really a god?!"

"Is there really any need for the Shichibukai to exist?!"

"Ah!"

"This..."

Upon hearing Fujitora's words, Maynard was so startled that he fell to the ground with a thud. He seemed to understand what his boss was planning to do.

The other party wants to defy the World Government and make the Shichibukai of the Sea disappear!

Mr. Issho... how dare he?

But when Maynard thought about what the other party was going to do, he felt a surge of heat.

If the Shichibukai could really be abolished, then the people living on this sea would be able to live in greater peace.

After all, that way there wouldn't be any legitimate ambitious individuals like the Shichibukai bullying them!

Thinking of this, Maynard's body began to tremble, and a new idea popped into his mind.

"Mr. Maynard," Fujitora spoke again, "Please abide by my decision."

"Yes, Commander Yixiao!"

Maynard immediately scrambled to his feet, his eyes burning with fervor as he gazed at Fujitora's retreating figure, and declared, "I will obey your orders!!!"

Let him do his part in this matter!
