Winning Over Corazon!

"How did you end up here?!"

Corazon gripped the Op-Op Fruit tightly in his hand.

In his eyes, Mislanda had most likely come for the Op-Op Fruit!

No, definitely!

After all, the Op-Op Fruit was the only valuable thing on this island!

Even if he were uninjured, he would not be a match for Mislanda. Besides, he had to endure excruciating pain just to walk right now!

Seeing Corazon's expression, Mislanda could more or less guess what he was thinking.

Mislanda smiled slightly and said,

"Don't worry, I didn't come for the Op-Op Fruit!"

As he spoke, Mislanda opened Black Hole Space and released the unconscious Luo from inside!

The moment he saw Luo, Corazon hurriedly caught him in his arms!

"What did you do to him?!"

Corazon could not understand how Luo had ended up in Mislanda's hands!

"Relax. If I wanted to make a move, you and this brat would've died five or six times already!"

"The Op-Op Fruit—didn't you come here for it? Feed it to him!"

Hearing that, Corazon looked at Mislanda.

Come to think of it, if Mislanda had truly come for the Op-Op Fruit, there was no way Corazon could have protected it!

Just like that, right in front of Mislanda, Corazon stuffed the Op-Op Fruit into Luo's mouth!

However, Luo's condition did not immediately improve. The Op-Op Fruit was not some miracle cure-all; if he wanted to recover, Luo would have to treat himself!

Seeing that Luo had eaten the Op-Op Fruit, Corazon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tormented by pain, he collapsed directly onto the ground!

Mislanda hurriedly helped him up and placed Luo back inside Black Hole Space.

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing this, Corazon could not help asking.

If Mislanda was not after the Op-Op Fruit, then Corazon really wanted to know his true purpose.

"I originally came here just to stir up trouble, but now, I've changed my mind!"

"Donquixote Rosinante, I want you to become my subordinate!"

Meanwhile, Doflamingo had also landed on the island and saw what had happened there!

"Not good. Go seize the Op-Op Fruit immediately! We can't let it fall into anyone else's hands!"

At Doflamingo's command, Trebol, Pica, Diamante, and all the other subordinates rushed forward.

Their target: the Op-Op Fruit!

Meanwhile, on the distant sea, Vice Admiral Tsuru's fleet was approaching!

"Become your subordinate?!"

Hearing Mislanda's words, Corazon could barely believe his ears.

Mislanda actually wanted to recruit him!

"You know very well that from the moment you seized the Op-Op Fruit, you offended the Donquixote Family, the Marines, and the World Government all at once!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, today will be the last day of your life!"

The World Government's willingness to pay five billion was enough to show how much they valued the Op-Op Fruit.

If they learned that Corazon had stolen the Op-Op Fruit and given it to a little boy—and that little boy deeply hated the World Government!

Even if Doflamingo did not kill him, even if Corazon was Sengoku's adopted son, he still would not be able to survive!

"And I find you very interesting. It'd be such a waste to let you die so soon!"

"So, I've decided to give you a second choice!"

"You'd better make your decision quickly. Your brother, Doflamingo, has already landed on the island. He and his subordinates are heading this way. If you don't hurry, you won't get another chance!"

In the end, Corazon agreed. He became Mislanda's subordinate.

Just as Mislanda had said, he had no way out anymore!

"Captain, from now on, I am your subordinate. I will be absolutely loyal to you!"

Corazon knelt before Mislanda and swore.

"Very good. Get up!"

Mislanda helped Corazon to his feet, delighted.

He would not bind Corazon with a contract the way he had Judge and Tesoro, because there was no need.

Corazon's character was still trustworthy, and Mislanda felt completely at ease!

Just then, Doflamingo and the others finally arrived.

"Corazon, so it really was you!"

The moment he saw Corazon, the last trace of hope in Doflamingo's heart vanished!

He had truly been betrayed by his own younger brother!

"I'm sorry, Brother!"

Corazon said apologetically.

"You can talk? You hid it well!"

All this time, Doflamingo had believed that Corazon had become mute because of his childhood experiences. Who would have thought...

"Damn it! Die, Corazon!"

Before Doflamingo could make a move, Pica immediately thrust his hand into the ground!

The next instant, a giant hand burst from the earth and smashed down toward Corazon!

But before the attack could land, it was struck by a black object. The massive hand made of stone melted away instantly!

"Hm? You're... Dark King Rayleigh's son, Dark King Mislanda!!"

The moment Doflamingo saw Mislanda beside Corazon, he immediately realized things had gone bad!

At the same time, Mislanda was checking the Donquixote Family's information.

[Donquixote Doflamingo, Paramecia String-String Fruit user. Strength level: Star Glory! Defeating him grants 2,000 points!]

[Trebol, Pica, Diamante, Paramecia Fruit users. Strength level: Diamond peak!]

[...]

Other than those four, the rest were not worth mentioning before Mislanda!

"Why are you here? Are you here for the Op-Op Fruit too?"

Doflamingo could not help asking.

At this moment, he had already prepared himself for battle.

He was no match for Mislanda, but behind him stood subordinates absolutely loyal to him. With them, they might still be able to fight!

"Do I need to answer your questions? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Boom!

The next moment, Mislanda directly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. Terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire area, accompanied by an immense shockwave!

For a moment, everyone except Doflamingo was forced to stagger back several steps!

Out on the sea, Vice Admiral Tsuru also sensed that Conqueror's Haki.

Realizing something had happened, she hurriedly ordered the fleet to advance at full speed!

"Damn it, you lunatic!"

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki as well.

The two overwhelming auras collided, and the difference was immediately obvious!

Doflamingo was instantly overwhelmed. If Trebol and the others had not braced him from behind, he would have been sent flying far away!

"While I'm still not in the mood to kill you, get lost. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later!"

"I assume those Marines aren't here for me, are they?"

Mislanda looked toward the sea.

That warship was far too conspicuous!

"Damn it, how did she get here so fast!"

Having been pursued for so long, Doflamingo naturally knew who had arrived!

He looked at Corazon, then at Mislanda!
