Provocation

Donquixote Doflamingo soon issued bounties for them all. Usopp's 500 million Beli bounty was perhaps the biggest surprise, while another was that Li Ziming didn't seem to have one at all.

"Pretty arrogant..." Li Ziming shook his head. "You really think everyone will play by your rules?"

"People are uglier than you think..." Doflamingo looked at Li Ziming with disdain. "I thought you'd seen through human nature, just like I have. Turns out you're just naive..."

"Maybe. You'd rather believe in the evil in people's hearts, while I'd rather believe in the good. That's all..." Li Ziming shook his head.

"How naive. I'm disappointed. I thought you might give me some trouble, but is this all you've got?" Doflamingo shook his head. "Are you really the man who got the better of Sengoku?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Li Ziming suddenly rose from the ground. Beside him stood a member of the Tontatta Tribe holding a key.

"Thanks..." Li Ziming stretched. He still had wounds, but he'd rested for a while and recovered some strength.

"You really know how to make trouble for me..." Doflamingo appeared before Li Ziming and raised a hand. The threads on it gleamed in the sunlight like razor-sharp blades.

"You sure you want to finish me off like this?" Li Ziming made no move to resist. "Aren't you worried about your factory?"

"What did you do?" Doflamingo's hand stopped dead at Li Ziming's throat.

"Just a timed bomb. Not one made with my ability, mind you—a real bomb. No telling when it'll explode..." Li Ziming smiled at him.

"You think I'd believe you?" Doflamingo asked.

"I think you will. You value your life, don't you, Donquixote Doflamingo..." Li Ziming had suddenly spoken his full name, surname included.

"How much do you know?" Doflamingo's face darkened.
