"Boss, Doflamingo is here."
Crocodile was resting in his castle at Rain Dinners when Mr. 3 suddenly rushed in, looking flustered.
"What did you say? Doflamingo is here?"
Crocodile was a little surprised. He had never had much to do with Doflamingo.
Though both were Shichibukai, they kept to themselves. They barely exchanged a word even when they met. Crocodile could not imagine why Doflamingo would come looking for him.
"Fuffuffuffu... Is that any way to welcome an old friend, you crocodile?"
Mr. 3 had barely entered when Doflamingo's sinister laugh sounded from the hallway outside.
Crocodile shot Mr. 3 a fierce glare. "Useless fool."
Mr. 3 could hardly believe it himself. He truly had not noticed anyone behind him, yet there Doflamingo was. Mr. 3 had always been confident in his intelligence.
Whenever he carried out a mission, he completed it smoothly and brilliantly, not because of the astonishing power of his Wax-Wax Fruit, but because of his sharp mind.
Yet this time, he had led Doflamingo straight here without noticing a thing.
It was not that he was stupid. He simply could not track Doflamingo's movements. To him, Doflamingo was a monster far beyond his reach.
Crocodile nodded to Mr. 1 beside him. "Open the door."
"No need!"
With a cold laugh, Doflamingo kicked the door open.
A pink, roughly oval shape came flying in. Only when it drew close did they see that it was Doflamingo himself.
Crocodile frowned and snorted in displeasure. "You came all this way to pick a fight with me? Others may fear you, but I don't."
Crocodile rose sharply from his seat. A piercing chill flashed in his dark eyes, and even the Golden Hook on his left hand pointed straight at Doflamingo.
Others feared Doflamingo, but Crocodile did not take him
