Dressrosa

The Dressrosa Kingdom is located on a tropical island with a resort atmosphere, known as the "Land of Love, Passion, and Toys." The nearby coast is dotted with mushroom rocks, the island is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and its delicacies are world-renowned!

"Hahaha! What a fine kingdom!" Teach walked down the street, constantly glancing at the scenery around him. Although he knew that all the peace in this kingdom was a facade, and that endless Bloody existed where outsiders couldn't see, what did it matter to him?

This world is a dog-eat-dog world, and all the injustices are simply because the majority of people are weak! Teach doesn't want to get involved, nor does he need to.

Teach was walking along when he suddenly stopped. He looked back at the dark alley behind him and gave it a disdainful look.

Ever since Teach entered Dressrosa, he felt that there was always an invisible eye watching him from the shadows! It made sense; after all, this was Heavenly Yaksha 'Doflamingo territory, and given his personality, the entire country was already firmly in his grasp! Teach's arrival naturally attracted his attention; after all, the beating he suffered during the Paramount War was still fresh in his mind...

Never mind.

Teach shook his head, then continued toward King's Plateau, stopping and starting along the way, appearing quite leisurely.

Kingdom Castle

"Hmph! What? Blackbeard actually came here? What a rare guest!" Doflamingo couldn't help but rub his face. The shadow cast by the Paramount War hadn't completely faded, and besides, Blackbeard seemed to have some kind of obsession with his glasses!

"Alright, he's a guest! Since he's come to my territory, it would be impolite not to greet him! Buffalo, go and escort our distinguished guest here! Trebol, have someone arrange a banquet, and while you're at it, fetch a few bottles of my treasured red wine from my cellar!" Doflamingo gave the orders, then after a moment's thought, he called Dellinger over.

"Dellinger, go and give the order to shut down our factory for a while! Put all the goods in a hidden place! And tell all family members to be on high alert! That guy is an unstable factor! We have to be careful!"

"Yes, young master!" Following Doflamingo's orders, the three went to their respective destinations, and for a moment, the entire Donquixote Family was on edge!

Meanwhile, based on information provided by his subordinates, Kaido quickly rushed towards Dressrosa. The Azure Dragon still looked drunk, but his speed was no less than usual!

"Damn Blackbeard! He dared to capture my most trusted subordinate! But I heard Whitebeard's strength has returned to its peak? That's really a headache!"

Kaido is seen as extremely reckless by outsiders, but as the Sea Emperor, how could he stand firm without being incredibly cunning? Going head-on to clash with Whitebeard is out of the question. Although he wouldn't die in battle thanks to his own defensive and vitality enhancements, he would inevitably get beaten up! He wouldn't do something so strenuous and humiliating!

Therefore, he chose what he considered the easiest method!

Capture Blackbeard! Trade Blackbeard's life for Jack's! He was confident in his strength and naturally wouldn't fear Blackbeard with a bounty of 3.5 billion. After all, Blackbeard couldn't possibly be stronger than Whitebeard, could he?

Although Blackbeard possesses three Devil Fruit abilities, making him a formidable opponent, Kaido still shudders at the memory of being dominated by Whitebeard on Rocks' ship! After all, he knows very well how strong Whitebeard was at his peak!

Thinking of this, Kaido quickened his pace, because the sooner he rescued Jack, the less suffering Jack would have to endure!

Crescent Moon Island Prison

"Hey, where's my food?! Can't your ship's cooks have any sense of responsibility?! If word gets out that you're mistreating prisoners, what will become of the Whitebeard Pirates' reputation?!"

Jack sat in his cell and shouted at the Whitebeard Pirates members guarding the entrance.

"Shut up! You've already eaten five meals today! Are you a pig? And remember your place! You're a prisoner! A prisoner, do you understand?" a pirate roared in exasperation.

Jack showed some backbone on his first day as a prisoner; he said he didn't want the food offered to him, but his actions betrayed him! After all, he had his pride too!

But

After tasting the Whitebeard Pirates' chef's cooking, Jack became completely obsessed! He yelled and screamed every day, and the pirates guarding the gate couldn't take it anymore. They had no choice but to report this to Captain Marco, whose opinion was that the Whitebeard Pirates didn't lack that little bit of food, and Jack could have it if he wanted!

However, this guy's appetite is truly astonishing! He eats the equivalent of five days' worth of food for an average member of the Whitebeard Pirates in each meal! And he eats several meals a day! The pirates standing guard at the gate are having a terrible time!

"You're supposed to be the All-Stars of the Beast Pirates! Have some backbone, okay? Besides, doesn't your crew have a cook? You eat like you're starving! I don't know what to say about you!" The pirate at the door complained as he sent someone back to the kitchen.

Jack sat in his cell and snorted coldly. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the food prepared by the cook in his pirate crew was indeed mediocre! After all, their pirate crew revered strength, and even the cooks were no exception! Without long-term training, how good could their culinary skills be?

Jack looked down at his slightly plumper belly. Sigh! Being a prisoner has even made him fat!

But seriously, Kaido probably won't come to rescue me so soon, right? I think I can stay a few more days! Don't overthink it, I'm just trying to deplete their resources! I'm not after any food! Hmm, that must be it!

Returning our attention to Dressrosa

Inside the King's Plateau, Doflamingo sat at the head of the table, looking at Teach, who was sitting opposite him, with a strange smile on his face.

"Hehehe, Blackbeard, what a rare guest! Come, come! Try my treasured red wine!" Doflamingo gave a look, and a beautiful maid next to Teach picked up a glass of red wine and respectfully poured a glass for Blackbeard. Then, holding the bottle, she quietly retreated behind Teach.

"Hahaha! Little Ming, you're too kind!" Teach picked up his wine glass, took a sip as if to show off, and said, "Hmm, not bad! This kind of quality red wine must be expensive, right? It makes me feel awkward asking for some!"

Upon hearing Teach's words, Doflamingo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hmph! What are you saying! It's just a few bottles of red wine. If you like, take some more when you leave!"

"Oh dear, I can't accept this!"

"Don't mention it, I can easily afford to give you this little bit of red wine!"

"Well, since you've put it that way, it would be rather unreasonable of me not to accept it!" Teach's lips curled into a mischievous grin. "Then I'll just take a few hundred bottles!"

Doflamingo: ₍ OvO ₎?
