Boa Hancock's unusual behavior caught everyone's attention, but they were all confused about the possible connection between her, Ulti, and Page One.
Logically speaking, they seemed to have little contact with one another—one was the peerless Pirate Empress who ruled Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt, while the other two were capable officers of the Beast Pirates, whose might shook the four seas.
Such vastly different backgrounds, with the dangerous and unpredictable Calm Belt lying between them, made it hard to imagine what connection they could possibly have.
Even more surprising, no one had ever heard of any of Kaido's subordinates dealing with Boa Hancock.
But just then, a thought suddenly struck Doflamingo. Could it be... that brat named Moke had actually managed to subdue Ulti and Page One?
At that thought, Doflamingo could not help secretly rejoicing.
That guy had some nerve, provoking a ruthless figure like Kaido. Did he not know that if he were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable?
At that moment, Doflamingo felt certain of victory. If the trap set by Marine Headquarters failed to eliminate Moke, then another game he had arranged could achieve his goal with Kaido's help. And through all of this, he would reap the benefits without paying any price.
Wait, that was not right! This time was completely different. Logically, Kaido should be the one paying them a reward.
After all, this time, Kaido truly owed him for stepping in and helping him save face.
"Fuffuffuffu..." Doflamingo let out that low, eerie laugh once again.
However, if Boa Hancock had been present at that moment, she probably would have been too excited to contain herself.
Fortunately, she understood the deeper meaning behind Moke's words—only if she chose to join his pirate crew would they be willing to help erase that
