"Is that all?"
Xia Le asked.
For someone like Doflamingo, who possessed both strength and influence, unlawful imprisonment, environmental pollution, and illegal trading were trivial matters.
One could even say they hardly counted as crimes.
"That is all."
Fujitora nodded.
"That man!"
"He really has surprised me!"
Xia Le spoke thoughtfully.
Then he took the documents Fujitora handed him and carefully flipped through them, page by page.

"Though cold on the outside, he possesses unimaginable tenderness and kindness within."
Xia Le scoffed at that assessment.

And Xia Le soon understood what that was.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said evenly, "Punish him for the crimes he committed as the law requires!"
He paused.
"I have to admit, Doflamingo does have his uses!"
Fujitora nodded, then turned and left.

"The forces of the Four Emperors are the obstacles standing in our way!"
As Xia Le murmured those words, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to move against the Four Emperors immediately, but preparations were still necessary.
After all, fighting these Great Pirates in the New World would be nothing like the Summit
