Three Months, the Phoenix Fruit

Ye Chen, who was in the country, had no interest in understanding the raging waves on the high seas.

Even though Ye Chen knew that many forces were investigating, he didn't care. If it had been a few months ago, perhaps the country would have actually been investigated.

But now, the entire country is on the move, who can track it down?

Furthermore, Ye Chen has already recalled Luo and the others; only Rob Lucci remains outside. However, given his intelligence background, he shouldn't be so easy to find.

The failure to obtain the Phoenix Fruit has made him somewhat irritable lately, and only being with the guy can calm him down. Even so, he gave Rob Lucci and the others a strict order: no matter what, they must find the whereabouts of the Phoenix Fruit.

Just like that, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, the Whitebeard Pirates have been at their most volatile, and no one has dared to provoke them so far. In the Survey Country, they have been extremely powerful regardless of the forces involved.

Many forces are too powerful to provoke, so they can only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

The Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, and the Navy—no force dares to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates. After three months of investigation, even though Whitebeard and his crew had high hopes, they now have to accept the reality.

Perhaps, Marco really is dead.

Therefore, the entire ocean has a somewhat eerie quality.

However, even with a bad feeling, the Whitebeard Pirates did not give up and continued their investigation. They eventually found Mock Town, but when they followed the clues, it was completely empty because the country had already left.

In his rage, the entire Mock Town was submerged by Whitebeard's fist.

As time dragged on, Whitebeard's anger grew ever stronger, and when it finally erupted, it would be devastating.

Dressrosa, located in the latter half of the Grand Line, is a tropical island with a resort atmosphere. It is even known as a prosperous country of Kingdom of Love, Passion, and Toys.

In this prosperous kingdom, the king was able to suppress the Shichibukai a region of the ocean. As a result, the kingdom had always developed peacefully.

The most unique thing about this island is its toys—yes, toys—and these toys are like people; they can work, live, and even fight.

Among them, the "Bullfighting Colosseum" is famous throughout the surrounding seas. Here, as long as you have the strength, you can gain wealth, power, and fame. These may be nothing but trash to some powerful people, but for ordinary people, they are no less than a chance to climb the ladder.

Every street, pavilion, and tower is filled with countless peaceful residents, and among them, strangely shaped toys can be seen everywhere.

"Welcome! This is the Fairy Clothing Store. We're having a sale today!"

"Come on, fresh apples!"

"Famous Sword, don't miss it when you pass by."

The area was bustling with activity, with countless stalls lining both sides of the street, all eager to attract customers.

But beneath this glamorous surface, countless dark secrets are lurking in Dressrosa.

King's Plateau is the Royal Palace City where King Dressrosa resides, and it is also the location of Doflamingo Shichibukai.

The atmosphere in the palace was somewhat oppressive.

Throughout the hall, everyone stared at the Devil Fruit on the table in front of them, their hearts skipping a beat.

"Doff, that's right, this is the Phoenix Fruit."

Trebol closed the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and compared it several times, the results of which both excited and alarmed him.

"Is Phoenix Devil Fruit?" The others gasped in astonishment.

"The presence of Devil Fruit here means that Marco the Phoenix is dead."

Beside him, Diamante, the highest-ranking member of the Donquixote Family, swallowed hard.

"God really dared to do it; he actually killed Marco the Phoenix."

The others looked somewhat uneasy, knowing that this was Marco the Phoenix, and the man behind him was Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man.

The first one, Doflamingo, wearing sunglasses and a suit, laughed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Doff, we must keep this news under wraps, or else..." Trebol was shocked and immediately wanted to conceal the Phoenix Fruit was in their possession.

Without a word, Doflamingo leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. If this Devil Fruit were to be passed on from him, the now half-mad Whitebeard would likely cause him trouble.

However, such an important Devil Fruit must be able to be exchanged for some benefits.

If it weren't for the fact that all his subordinates had already eaten Devil Fruit, he would have really wanted to give this Devil Fruit to his family members. You know, eating this Devil Fruit would at least give one the level of Vice Admiral, and with some training, Admiral definitely become an admiral.

Unconsciously, Doflamingo thought of someone.

Ignoring Diamante and the others' discussion, Doflamingo dialed Den Den Mushi.

"Brew, Brew"

"Hello!"

"Vergo, how's the situation lately?" The noisy Diamante and the others stopped and sat down to look at the Den Den Mushi.

"Young Master, the navy hasn't been making any moves lately. Is there any new order?"

Vergo's voice came from one end of the Den Den Mushi.

"No, I was just asking if you have any ideas about Devil Fruit." That's right, Doflamingo wanted to give this fruit to Vergo. Now Vergo is Marine Vice Admiral, backed by the Marines and the World Government. Whitebeard would be powerless to stop him if he knew.

Most importantly, with this Devil Fruit combined with Vergo's physical skills, he definitely has a chance to compete for the position of Admiral. If he has an Admiral infiltrated into the Navy, then Donquixote's career will flourish.

If things go well, Vergo might even be able to compete for the position of Fleet Admiral. If he succeeds, he will then take revenge on those people from the Holy Land and show them that even without that title, he is still a king, because he was born to be a king.

At that moment, Doflamingo thought about many things.

Doflamingo's words made Vergo fall silent for a moment, because he unconsciously thought of what that man had told him, "In the future, I will find you a powerful Devil Fruit."

"Young Master, what kind of Devil Fruit is it?"

After a brief silence, Vergo spoke again.

"Mythical Zoan: Phoenix." Doflamingo's words were astonishing.

"What?" Vergo's voice rose slightly on the other end before returning to calm.

"You heard me right, it's the ability of Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! This Devil Fruit is now in my hands!"

"Young Master, the Whitebeard Pirates are currently searching for Marco the Phoenix. If this news gets out, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"I know, that's why I want you to eat it. If you eat this Devil Fruit, you will definitely have the qualifications and strength to become Admiral, and the Navy and the World Government behind you will not give up on your high combat power. In fact, if things go well, you may even have a chance to compete for the Fleet Admiral."

"Once you become Fleet Admiral, the navy will be under our control."

Upon hearing Doflamingo's plan, Diamante and the others sitting nearby brightened up with excitement.
