Werther tossed the Den Den Mushi to Doffy, then went to the window, ready to head to Punk Hazard himself and finish off Luo and the Straw Hat Pirates.
Werther strongly disagreed with Doffy's approach.
What had happened to Diamante was an accident. With the Straw Hat Pirates already badly wounded, Diamante had been fully capable of wiping them out.
But sending Vergo to Punk Hazard alone? To Werther, that was no different from a villain handing the heroes a chance to grow stronger.
In the end, Doffy had underestimated Luo.
Werther knew better. He understood what someone would sacrifice for revenge. Launi Aileen was a living example right before his eyes.
Driven by hatred, Launi Aileen had gone from a delicate young woman to the pirate she was now in remarkably little time.
"I'll deal with Luo myself and kill every last Straw Hat while I'm there."
Werther was about to leap out the window when Doffy spoke behind him.
"Wait, Werther. You can't leave Dressrosa right now."
Werther stopped and glanced back at Doffy.
"My people report that the Revolutionary Army has gathered in Dressrosa.
"They've kept it quiet, but we noticed them anyway. If I'm right, Monkey D. Dragon is in Dressrosa too."
At the news that Dragon had arrived in Dressrosa, Werther's expression shifted.
The Revolutionary Army had moved faster than he expected. If Dragon really was in Dressrosa, he couldn't leave.
In the coming free-for-all, Dressrosa would be Werther's base of operations.
Its manpower, weapons, and supplies were all stored there.
After months of preparation, Werther intended to make Dressrosa the main battlefield.
Dressrosa still looked perfectly normal, its streets crowded and lively. But that didn't mean civilians remained there in large numbers. It was all an arrangement Werther and Doffy had made.
Dressrosa could
