Doflamingo waved a hand, signaling his officers to bring over the children and Devil Fruits.
World was a little puzzled, but he noticed Ren watching the children before them.

Quite a few people chatted as they gazed at the wondrous Sky Island.
Ren studied Sky Island with his golden double pupils, musing, "Tsk, tsk... what an incredible island. I wonder whether this is the work of a Devil Fruit
