This Sudden Voice

"Eh?" This sudden voice made Moke freeze. He knew that voice better than anyone—a highly distinctive laugh, practically the man's trademark. Any One Piece fan who heard it could immediately guess who had arrived.

Moke's curiosity was instantly piqued. Turning his head, he saw a figure walking toward him. The man was outrageously flamboyant, with dazzling blond hair glittering beneath the sunlight. He wore oversized sunglasses that completely covered his eyes, a pink feathered coat, cropped trousers, and pointed shoes. His entire appearance was extravagantly ostentatious.

Even more eye-catching was his exaggerated stride, as though the entire world lay beneath his feet. That utterly arrogant posture made him instantly recognizable—who else could it be but the pirate world's number one rogue, Doflamingo?

Damn it! What's this guy doing here? Moke cursed inwardly. He had never expected to run into Doflamingo here. His gaze then fell on Jesus Burgess beside Doflamingo, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Moke had gone through quite a bit of trouble to find Jesus Burgess. He had purchased an Eternal Pose for Champion Island from the Underworld, and that Eternal Pose had most likely come from Doflamingo's forces. In that case, Doflamingo would naturally know that Moke intended to go to Champion Island.

At that thought, Moke's pupils contracted slightly as a sense of foreboding rose within him.

Just as expected! To survive in this world filled with unknowns and dangers, having one's own intelligence network was absolutely essential. Otherwise, there would be countless inconveniences and troubles, and one's information might even be completely exposed to the enemy. The consequences would be unthinkable.

But who exactly was this man standing before them? If he had come for them, what did that mean? Jesus Burgess and King of Baboons—Burns exchanged looks, each quietly pondering the matter.
