Who? White Snake · Smoker?

"This is too roundabout," Pica frowned. "Why not just get rid of all the troublemakers?"

"No need. We can just sit back and watch the fight, then wipe out all the guys who came here," Doflamingo said.

This is also his main purpose in releasing this game.

After all, this way they wouldn't have to face the enemy of the entire country.

"Doflamingo, I..."

Pica was interrupted by laughter from someone behind her before she could finish speaking.

The Donquixote Family officials' expressions immediately changed upon hearing the man's laughter.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Pica, please forgive me." A man quickly said, "This guy is a newcomer, and he hasn't gotten used to things yet since it happened so suddenly."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

The man who had laughed immediately apologized, clearly realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"Apologize?"

Pica looked coldly at the man who had laughed and said, "Ha, I'm going to bury you alive with rocks!"

The thing he hated most in his life was the sound of people mocking him, so this guy had to die!

"Wait a minute, Lady Pica!"

As she spoke, Baby5 turned her legs into Machine Gun, and then mercilessly sent the man who had laughed out loud flying into the sky.

After doing this, baby5 continued, "If you had done it yourself, he would have been reduced to ashes."

"That would be very difficult to explain to his family."

Of course, she had another reason for taking action: she could kill him in an instant, so he wouldn't have to suffer the pain of suffocation and being crushed.

"Thank you for your help, baby.5," Pica nodded.

Since the other party has already made a move, there's no need for him to continue.

"Fine."

baby5 nodded to Pica, then kicked him off the Highland.

This scene deeply shocked all the henchmen present.

"Hello."

After a long silence, Doflamingo pointed at one of the henchmen and asked, "You, do you have any family?"

"Some!"

"And you?" Doflamingo asked, pointing to another person.

"Some!"

Doflamingo nodded, then said in a deep voice, "I lost my mother when I was eight, and killed my father with my own hands when I was ten, so I have no relatives."

Henchman:!!!

Upon hearing the last sentence, the henchmen all showed expressions of shock.

What does it mean to kill your father with your own hands when you are ten years old?

Is their leader really that terrifying?

But Doflamingo ignored their reactions and continued, "As for the family members above the executive level, they are all my family members who have shared joys and sorrows with me for a long time. They are all I have now."

"Anyone who dares to mock my family will not be let off the hook, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The henchmen immediately straightened up, not daring to utter a single word, for fear of angering Doflamingo.

After all, Doflamingo, who exudes murderous intent right now, is truly terrifying.

Just then, a henchman came running from a distance, shouting, "Report!"

"Many..."

Before he could finish speaking, he realized the atmosphere was very strange, which made him catch his words in his throat.

"Speak," Doflamingo said in a deep voice.

What are we waiting for if we don't report the intelligence immediately?

"Yes!"

"Just now, we spotted Admiral Candidate White Snake! "Smoker the henchman shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Donquixote Family looked surprised.

"What?!" Trebol stared at the henchman in shock and said, "Who did you say?"

"White Snake Smoker".

"How is this possible?"

Why is he here?

Dressrosa is currently covered by Doflamingo's Birdcage, so even the signal band of the Den Den Mushi can't get through.

So the question is, how exactly did Smoker receive the message?

Or was Dressrosa their target from the very beginning?

But that doesn't make sense. Dressrosa already has a Marine Admiral; there's no reason for them to come here.

At this moment, Trebol's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Could it be that Fujitora has figured out your intentions, Doflamingo?" Diamante quickly said, "He called Smoker along because he's afraid of your strength."

"But now the signal can't be transmitted."

"Then couldn't he have contacted Smoker via Den Den Mushi before Doflamingo released the Birdcage?" Diamante countered.

After all, when Doflamingo was discussing things with Fujitora, Dressrosa hadn't yet been covered by the Birdcage.

Trebol frowned upon hearing this. Could it be that the Marine Admiral truly lacked the strength himself, which was why he chose to call in a powerful ally beforehand?

Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible. After all, this guy is different from Akainu; he was forcibly promoted, so it's hard to say how strong he really is.

"Smoker..."

Doflamingo tapped his fingers lightly, pondering why the other party was here.

"Doflamingo, that guy's presence here might be a good thing," Pica suddenly said.

"Um?"

Doflamingo glanced up at Pica. What did that mean?

As if sensing Doflamingo's confusion, Pica said, "Doesn't that just show that Fujitora lacks confidence in his own strength, which is why he called for help?"

Under normal circumstances, Marine Admiral would not ask others for help, since they are the Greatest Battle Power of the Navy Headquarters!

But that's exactly what they did.

That means there's some exaggeration in this Marine Admiral.

Wouldn't that make it much easier for them to kill these marines?

Doflamingo pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Hmm, that's possible."

Actually, he had considered this possibility earlier, but as the leader, he had more things to consider.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Doflamingo grinned.

"Why are you here?" Pica asked, puzzled.

Why was Doflamingo laughing?

"I remember Smoker has quite a history with the Straw Hat Pirates," Doflamingo said with a smile.

"What's the meaning?"

"Based on the information Vergo sent earlier, Smoker is extremely obsessed with the Straw Hat Pirates," Doflamingo explained. "So there's a high chance he'll fight the Straw Hat Pirates first."

"In this way, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

After the navy killed all the rebels, he then turned his attention to killing all the navy personnel, leaving none alive!

As for Smoker's strength?

He's not even afraid of Marine Admiral Fujitora, so why would he need to fear an Admiral Candidate?

Although the other party killed World Destroyer World, that old guy was, after all, a piece of trash who had wasted decades in the Underwater Great Prison, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"That's true," Pica said with a smile.

"But Doflamingo, what if Smoker got wind of it beforehand?" Trebol said. "For example, what if he knew in advance that the Straw Hat would be in Dressrosa?"

Therefore, it cannot be concluded that Fujitora's strength is definitely not exaggerated.

"That's fine, we just need to watch them fight it out," Doflamingo said. "We'll make our move after they're done fighting."

In his opinion, he was confident he could kill those two guys.

This is the confidence that comes with Awakening your Devil Fruit powers!

"Okay, I understand."

Trebol nodded, without saying anything further.

"Keep a close eye on those guys' movements," Doflamingo said. "Report to me immediately if anything happens!"

"Yes!"

The henchman who received the order immediately saluted, then turned and ran off into the distance.

After watching the other person leave, Doflamingo's face broke into a smile again. Let him see just how entertaining this whole thing really is!

Meanwhile, Smoker, whom they were talking about, was on the edge of the Birdcage.

"Silk Thread that can even cut through artillery shells?"

Smoker, casually tossing a cannonball onto the Silk Thread, frowned and asked, "What exactly is Doflamingo planning to do?"

The known information is that the Birdcage covers the entire country of Dressrosa, and also blocks the signal of Den Den Mushi).

This looks... like Doflamingo wanted to silence them.

'This guy isn't really planning to kill everyone here in Dressrosa, is he?' Smoker thought to himself.

These are people from an entire nation!

But considering that the other party was a pirate, Smoker felt that this was a possibility.

After all, if this news got out, Doflamingo wouldn't be able to continue being Shichibukai, so it's understandable that he wanted to kill everyone.

"Smoker, what should we do?" Tashigi asked.

Smoker didn't answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead lowered his head and thought about it carefully for a moment.

His plan was to go directly to Doflamingo and kill him.

This will end this boring game right away.

Thinking of this, Smoker said, "Let's go find..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a naval voice.

"Smoker!" the Navy shouted. "We've spotted the Straw Hat!"

"Straw Hat?"

Smoker's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. Had he finally found that bastard?

In that case, he can go find that bastard Straw Hat Pony; Doflamingo is in Fujitora's hands.

Where is the Straw Hat?

He's in the Street District.

"Okay, I understand." Smoker nodded, then continued, "Where is Fujitora?"

"He ran into the Sunglasses Man from the Straw Hat Pirates near the Street District."

"The Sunglasses Man from the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Smoker, who was just about to set off to find Luffy, subconsciously stopped and looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression.

That look seemed to say: Who are you saying Admiral?

"The Straw Hat Pirates' Sunglasses Man." Tashigi promptly pulled out Wanted Order and said, as if reading from a textbook, "Devil Fruit User, bounty 100 million Beli."

Smoker:...

Is that what he meant?

How could he not know the members of the Straw Hat Pirates?

After giving Tashigi a somewhat speechless look, Smoker turned to his subordinate and said, "You're right?"

"Yes."

"Fujitora didn't arrest him?"

"No further information has been received."

The navy officer was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this; this was all the information he had received.

Something's not right.

Smoker abandoned his idea of leaving immediately and turned to sit down on a rock.

"Smoker?"

Everyone looked at Smoker with suspicion. Weren't they going to cause trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates?

That's their main reason for coming here.

"Don't make a sound."

Smoker waved his hand, signaling the noisy fellows not to disturb his thoughts.

Smoker then continued to ponder.

Under normal circumstances, Fujitora could kill a guy with a bounty of 100 million Beli in an instant.

Even if the opponent's actual strength is only three or four hundred million, it shouldn't lead to a stalemate.

After all, he was Admiral!

Admiral's strength is such that he can take down a pirate of this caliber in an instant.

But Fujitora didn't do that.

Not only did they not do that, they also didn't arrest Doflamingo...

So the question is, did Fujitora have ulterior motives, or was the Sunglasses Man actually quite capable?

If it's the former, then he'll have to inform Fujitora to avoid things going wrong.

If it's the latter... then something's not quite right.

After all, under normal circumstances, it's very rare to encounter someone who can go toe-to-toe with Marine Admiral.

It can't be said that Straw Hat Luffy was incredibly lucky, encountering another person after meeting the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

This is ridiculous.

Therefore, he felt that the former was more likely.

Then, a startling thought popped into Smoker's mind.

'Wait a minute... Blood-Eyed Ninja?'

As if he had just realized something, Smoker's pupils shrank to their smallest size in an instant.

Could that Sunglasses Man really be the Blood-Eyed Ninja who died two years ago?

Although the idea was outrageous, his intuition told him that it was a possibility.

After all, the Blood-Eyed Ninja is most famous for his immortality!

In this situation, could the World Government really kill him?

Although the person who killed the Blood-Eyed Ninja did indeed disappear after the death report was released.

But the Straw Hat Pirates also disappeared for two years!

In this situation, the veracity of the report becomes questionable.

Upon realizing this, Smoker's body began to tremble involuntarily.

That wasn't fear, it was excitement.

If the other party is still alive, then he can get revenge for being knocked away by the other party back then!

"Smoker, what's wrong?"

Tashigi looked at Smoker with a puzzled expression. Why was he acting so strangely?

But Smoker didn't explain. Instead, he turned to the navy officer who had just given the report and said, "Let's go, take us to Fujitora."

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he still obeyed and led them towards the target area.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Within a certain area of Birdcage, Charlotte Galette was observing the Birdcage in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"What... what the hell is this?"
