Just as the discussion reached a deadlock, Doflamingo suddenly rose to his feet and dropped a bombshell. "I recently obtained an important lead regarding the Second Sealing Weapon."
The conference room fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes focused on him.
"It is said to be hidden deep within the Red Line, in the form of a shield," Doflamingo said slowly, each word striking the hearts of those present like a heavy hammer.
"The Second Sealing Weapon?" Gecko Moria's voice became unusually urgent. "Are you sure?"
Doflamingo wore a mysterious smile. "Absolutely. And according to ancient records, when the Golden Blade and the shield appear at the same time, they will trigger changes beyond imagination."
"This is why the World Government is so nervous," he continued. "They fear that Lin Ye will find the Second Sealing Weapon and uncover that buried history."
Crocodile pondered for a moment. "That is indeed tempting information. But the Red Line is the World Government's core territory, heavily guarded. Even we would find it difficult to get close."

"That is why we are gathered here," Doflamingo said as he swept his gaze across the room. "Together, we have a chance."
The atmosphere in the conference hall grew unusually lively, with everyone weighing the risks against the rewards.
Crocodile finally spoke. "This plan needs more details. I will not act rashly."
"I agree." Gecko Moria nodded. "I need more proof."
"Of course," Doflamingo said with a smile. "I have already prepared a detailed plan. But before that..."
His voice suddenly lowered. "I need to confirm whether everyone here is willing to temporarily set aside their cooperation with the World Government and join this larger game."
