Slaying an Admiral to Prove Himself

Having his thoughts seen through left Donquixote Doflamingo a little embarrassed. After pondering for a moment, he slowly withdrew the threads he had already sent out back into his body.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. I know a king like you must have some fine wine stashed away. Bring it out already, and don't be so stingy." Looking at the dumbfounded Donquixote Doflamingo, Ye Yu called out directly.

Compared to Donquixote Doflamingo, Ye Yu was far more concerned with what would be provided for him to eat and drink!

Donquixote Doflamingo had awakened Conqueror's Haki at the age of eight. He was immensely talented, and even one of the Four Emperors, Kaido, had always praised him. Yet at this moment, he was completely helpless against Ye Yu...

Call for help?

His family's top officers had all been knocked unconscious by the brat's Conqueror's Haki. No matter how many people he called, wouldn't a single burst of Conqueror's Haki finish them all?

Fight him himself...?

It seemed he could not beat him either...

As for that Blackbeard Teach fellow, his subordinates might not know, but Doflamingo knew quite well that the man was no weakling!

"Y-You... what exactly did you come here for?" Donquixote Doflamingo asked resentfully.

"I came to discuss a deal with you." Ye Yu spread his hands and urged Doflamingo to bring the wine quickly.

Hearing that it was business, Donquixote Doflamingo actually breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, if the brat before him had come to destroy the Donquixote Family, Doflamingo felt Ye Yu absolutely had the strength to do it!

Donquixote Doflamingo sat down directly across from Ye Yu and snapped his fingers. Before long, a maid as sexy as Baby 5 arrived before him.

"Go. Bring out all of my finest stored wine!" Donquixote Doflamingo said through gritted teeth, his heart aching.

The beautiful maid glanced around. The top officers had all been knocked unconscious. Though she was deeply shocked inside, she did not show it.

This was also a rule of the Donquixote Family. Servants only needed to carry out orders. Those who meddled in matters that did not concern them would be executed!

"Yes, Young Master." With that, the beautiful maid left. When she returned, she brought out an entire case of fine grape wine.

Ye Yu casually opened a bottle. Paired with specially prepared foie gras, he could not help but praise it. "It really is good. Heavenly Yaksha, life here is far more luxurious than anywhere else!"

Seeing Ye Yu's carefree, unruly manner made Donquixote Doflamingo furious, but with Ye Yu's strength right there in front of him, he could only endure it.

Veins bulged on Donquixote Doflamingo's forehead.

"Spit it out. What business is this? If you want to discuss business, then discuss it. At the slightest disagreement, you knocked all my men unconscious!" Donquixote Doflamingo now looked like an aggrieved woman, with none of his former arrogance remaining!

After Doflamingo put it that way, Ye Yu felt that he might have gone a little too far...

"It was an accident. Don't worry, I know my limits. Your men will wake up on their own before long." Ye Yu waved his hand.

Then he told Donquixote Doflamingo why he had come.

"With Heavenly Yaksha's intelligence network, I'm sure you've sensed it too. Ever since Ace was captured, the atmosphere across the entire sea has become subtle. The Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates will most likely have a major battle in the future!"

Heavenly Yaksha regained a little of his dignity and began to recover some of his confidence.

"Fuffuffuffu, of course I, Heavenly Yaksha, know that! That warship in Dressrosa was originally here to invite me to gather at Marine Headquarters and deal with Whitebeard, wasn't it?" Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo said with a smile, his eyes shifting.

Ye Yu thought highly of Donquixote Doflamingo. He was a smart man! Before Ye Yu had even said anything, Doflamingo had already guessed most of it!

"That's right. I came this time to tell you not to assist the Marines. Instead, join our Whitebeard Pirates and attack Marine Headquarters!" Ye Yu said as he ate a chicken leg.

This was beyond Donquixote Doflamingo's expectations. He had originally thought Ye Yu had only come to tell him not to help the Marines and to remain neutral!

Now Ye Yu wanted him to join the Whitebeard Pirates?

If he truly followed Ye Yu's instructions, the Marines certainly would not spare him after the war ended!

"Ye Yu, I think you're joking. The Marines are the rulers of these seas. I have no reason to make an enemy of them!" Donquixote Doflamingo said decisively.

Even if Ye Yu threatened all of Dressrosa, he would not agree! He might still have a chance of winning against Ye Yu, but against the Marines? Defeat was inevitable!

Just as Ye Yu expected, an old fox like Donquixote Doflamingo would not be so easily won over.

"What if I told you that the final victor would be our Whitebeard Pirates?" Ye Yu said without the slightest doubt.

"Fuffuffuffuffu~ Ye Yu, although you're powerful, I admit that much, but... the Marines are even stronger! Victory is impossible with only your Whitebeard Pirates and me!" Donquixote Doflamingo said, shaking his head.

"I'll prove that to you! All you need to do is hasten the Whitebeard Pirates' victory and reduce our casualties." Ye Yu said confidently, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

A plan had already formed in his mind—a plan that would allow the Whitebeard Pirates to crush the Marines with the fewest possible casualties!

"Fine. If your Whitebeard Pirates are the stronger side, then I would be happy to help the strong. After all, I stand on the side of justice. Only the victorious side is qualified to speak of justice! Isn't that right?" Donquixote Doflamingo said meaningfully as he licked his lips.

The meaning was obvious: he would only work for the victor!

The corners of Ye Yu's mouth rose slightly. As expected, Donquixote Doflamingo was a cunning fellow!

However, Donquixote Doflamingo suddenly changed the subject.

"Still... I'm truly curious. How will you prove to me that your Whitebeard Pirates are stronger than the Marines? Don't tell me you plan to rely on yourself?" Donquixote Doflamingo narrowed his eyes suspiciously, his gaze locked onto the young man before him.

Ye Yu took a sip of red wine. "Mm, this wine is good!"

Then he fixed his gaze on Donquixote Doflamingo, his eyes becoming more serious as he solemnly spoke. "First... I will end the life of a Marine Admiral, and use that to prove my strength!"

"Killing an Admiral is only the first step in proving my strength. You'll witness the rest of the proof in the coming war!"

After Ye Yu finished speaking, he revealed a confident expression.

Buzz...

Donquixote Doflamingo only felt his mind go blank.

What?!

Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo could hardly believe Ye Yu's words. This harmless-looking fellow intended to kill a Marine Admiral at such a critical time?!

Marine Headquarters was heavily guarded. How could he kill one?

That was an Admiral! Every single one of them was a powerful Marine who guarded an entire sea!

Without Observation Haki or Armament Haki, he wanted to kill an Admiral using only Conqueror's Haki! Did Ye Yu have that kind of strength?

Donquixote Doflamingo stared at Ye Yu in shock. This guy really dared to say anything...

Yet Ye Yu's incomparably confident expression still caused a trace of doubt to stir in Doflamingo's heart.

Could this man, who had only recently become famous across the seas, truly kill a Marine Admiral so easily?

That would mean Ye Yu possessed strength at least as monstrous as Kaido's! Emperor level!

Emperor-level strength attained through Conqueror's Haki alone...?

More importantly, that was only the first step!
