Hehe~

The night was dark and cool. Old Man Guda had drunk too much that night and was suffering from a severe hangover. When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Recalling what Dongze had said to him at the end, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"That brat~~"

In the New World, on a two-masted sailing ship, Dongze and Robin stand on the deck, gazing at the distant islands.

"Dongze, is this our first stop in the New World?"

"Dressrosa!"

"I heard this is the territory of Doflamingo, Shichibukai!"

"Um!"

Are you scared?

"You'll lose?"

"Won't!"

"Then I'm not afraid!"

"Hehe! Let the ocean's rampage begin here!!"

In Dressrosa, inside the Royal Palace, Doflamingo put down his Den Den Mushi Donquixote, veins bulging on his forehead, and crushed the teacup in his hand.

Trebol, the Devil Fruit User, felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Doflamingo's gloomy expression.

"Dover, what's wrong?"

"Kadeji, they've been killed!!"

Trebol was taken aback, then immediately replied, "How could that be? Skisasa is in that squad!!"

The Donquixote Family executives knew the composition of the commando team. On the surface, the most powerful person was Kadeji, but the strongest fighter in reality was Skisasa, who possessed strength comparable to a top-tier Marine Vice Admiral.

Such strength would place them among the top families in the Donquixote Family.

Doflamingo gritted his teeth, his steel teeth grinding together. "How should I know? All I know is that the person was killed on Hada Island, but I don't even know who it was!"

Trebol sniffed the snot that had dripped onto the ground and asked, puzzled, "Has no one sent word? There are over a hundred of them!"

"Torre, go and call Buffalo and Monet over!"

"No matter who you are, I will kill you!! I will definitely kill you!! Ah!!"

As Doflamingo finished speaking, a burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted, shattering the glass windows of the Royal Palace.

Just then, a figure ran in; it was Diamante.

His expression was one of panic, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and his burly body began to tremble for some unknown reason.

"Dover, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Diamante barged in without even knocking, further worsening Dover's already bad mood.

If the person in front of him hadn't been a family member he recognized, he would have wanted to kill him.

Suppressing his discomfort and anger, Doflamingo said coldly, "Diamante, what's wrong with you now?"

Diamante was too preoccupied to notice Dover's tone, and since Dover always wore glasses, he couldn't be sure of Dover's attitude at that moment.

"Dover! Someone has arrived in Dressrosa!! It's the Shichibukai you've been telling me to keep an eye on— Dongze!!"

Upon hearing Diamante's words, Doflamingo was taken aback. The matter of Dongze was not something he wanted to investigate himself, but rather a deal he made with the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

He was told to be wary of the Shichibukai, Dongze, and the implication was that Dongze's strength might be extraordinary, so he should be careful.

He remembered that the person who came forward was Tian Gang, a true power holder in Mary Geoise. When he spoke of Dongze, his face showed hesitation, and he also told him to be careful of the women around Dong Ze.

Doflamingo made this a top priority in his deal with them. He knew these people's temperament well; even when he intercepted their Heavenly Tribute, they didn't show up, so he personally went to Mary Geoise.

This further demonstrates how much importance the other party places on this matter. Is a Shichibukai worth such attention?

Not long after his return, Donquixote Family could to search for intelligence on the enemy across the entire sea.

From the barren East Blue, to the Pirate Hunter, to the slaying of the evil Fish-Man in Orange Town, to being inexplicably pushed into the position of Shichibukai by Garp and Aokiji, to the farce of the Marine Branch in Sabaody Archipelago, to the death of Saint Watz, and the Thunder God - Enel.

From this intelligence, he keenly sensed that the other party should be a powerful Swordmaster, but he was frighteningly low-key. Saint Watz's death should be related to him, but Tian Gang's focus did not seem to be on Dongze, but on the woman beside the other party.

For the past six months, he has prioritized the investigation of Dongze as the top priority of his family's mission. Diamante's trembling just now was clearly not an act, but rather a sign of excitement.

The reward for the mission was extremely generous, a full billion Beli, which was undoubtedly an astronomical figure, so it's no wonder the other party reacted this way.

"Dover! What should we do next? Should we contact him?"

After Diamante sat down, he drank two cups of cold tea and finally calmed down.

"We can try to make contact. The fact that they were promoted to the position of Shichibukai by Admiral Aokiji and Garp the Hero must mean they are extraordinary. You must be careful. Have Sugar come with you!"

"If necessary, Sugar can use her powers to bring him back!"

Sugar, the Devil Fruit User, can turn anyone she touches into a doll. If you don't know the other person's ability, you can easily be caught off guard and suffer a terrible defeat.

In Dressrosa, he also served as his trump card, helping him rule the country.

He had heard from Tian Gang that the other party was very strong, so he didn't want to fight him head-on. He sent Sugar with the intention of turning the other party into a puppet to avoid causing any trouble.

"Not bad! This is good news! You and Torre can go collect your prize money later!"

Hearing the good news, Dover's mood improved somewhat. At that moment, Monet and Buffalo also arrived.

"Young Master! You were looking for us?"

"Torre has told you what happened, right?"

"Buffalo, you and Monet go to Hada Island. You two must investigate this matter thoroughly. Whoever it is, I will make them pay the price!!"

Chapter 139 Doflamingo's Madness, Movements from All Sides

"This kingdom is quite interesting!"

Watching the dolls and humans living together harmoniously on the street, Robin was filled with surprise. It was hard to imagine that a doll could integrate into the human world so easily.

"Dongze, these puppets can actually move on their own."

Dongze did not react; the moment he set foot on this island nation, he had already unleashed his Observation Haki.

He was searching for the Donquixote Family's officers. Now that he knew the details of the kingdom, he naturally wouldn't hesitate.

The Donquixote Family, including myself, consists of sixteen people.

Doflamingo Donquixote, the Devil Fruit User the String-String Fruit.

Trebol, the Devil Fruit User.

Pica, the Devil Fruit User.

Diamante, the Devil Fruit User.

Demon Bamboo -- Vergo.

Señor Pica, the Devil Fruit User.

Viola Devil Fruit User.

Jora, Devil Fruit User.

Sugar Devil Fruit User the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.

Gladius Devil Fruit User.

Baby-5 Devil Fruit User.

Buffalo Devil Fruit User.

Machvise Devil Fruit User the Ton-Ton Fruit.

Monet, the Devil Fruit User.

Dellinger, Rao G, and Qiu Yin.

Of these sixteen people, except for four, they were all Devil Fruit users. Devil Fruit users do have a unique advantage on the sea. For ordinary people, as long as they possess a Devil Fruit, their strength will be significantly different from that of ordinary people.

Before long, Dongze had located all of them. Except for Vergo, Buffalo, and Monet, who were not in Dressrosa, everyone else was there.

And two more people were walking towards him and Robin — Diamante and Sugar, Diamante in front and Sugar behind, hiding in the crowd.

"Oh! Looks like we've been discovered!"

Dongze closed his eyes slightly and said to himself.

"Hello! Welcome to Dressrosa!"

"Do you know me?"

"Of course, Mr. Dongze, Shichibukai! You are a distinguished guest of Dressrosa!"

"Our young master is very eager to see you!"

"Doflamingo?"

"That's right! It is indeed Doflamingo, the King of the Dressrosa Kingdom, and also one of the Shichibukai, just like you."

He is waiting for you at the Royal Palace; you must go there!

"I'm busy!"

"Dongze, are you disrespecting our young master?"

Diamante's tone grew colder. He didn't know much about Dongze, so he wasn't particularly afraid. After all, they were dealing with one of the Four Emperors — Kaido of the Beasts. He didn't have much respect for a Shichibukai, especially Shichibukai who wasn't well-known.

Hehe~

Seeing this, Dongze chuckled.

"Your name is Diamante, right? Go back and tell Doflamingo that I killed your assault team! I'll go see him in a bit and see what kind of man the joker from the Dark World really is!"

Diamante's expression changed. When he left earlier, he clearly remembered what Dover had arranged for Buffalo and Monet to do: to investigate the killing of the assault team.

Looking at the man before him, the originally sunny weather sent a chill through him. His eyes were calm and indifferent as he spoke of the lives of the more than one hundred assault teams, as if he were talking about cats and dogs rather than over one hundred lives.

Do you know what you're saying?

Diamante paused for a moment, then spoke in an extremely low voice, each word uttered clearly.

"I told you to get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Conqueror's Haki descended from the sky and landed on Diamante, causing him to kneel down in the next instant.

Dongze led Robin directly past, ignoring the person in front of them, and continued to tour the island nation.

The passersby watched Diamante kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but whisper among themselves. They knew he was a member of the Donquixote Family, in charge of the Dressrosa arena, and a very important figure. Why would he suddenly kneel here?

After a long while, Diamante gradually came to his senses. Covered in sweat, he realized that he was completely exhausted, his body limp and without any strength.

An unprecedented seriousness appeared on his flamboyantly drawn face as he muttered to himself, "Conqueror's Haki!!"

"How could anyone possess such Conqueror's Haki?!"

As one of Doflamingo's subordinates, he had seen Conqueror's Haki more than once. Having dealt with monsters from the Dark World, he was extremely familiar with Conqueror's Haki. Some were ferocious, some were violent, some were like demons, and some were insane.

But this time he sensed a different kind of aura, one of invincibility, overwhelming power, supreme strength, like a god, before whom all could only bow their heads in submission.

The next moment, he quickly pulled out Den Den Mushi, intending to call Doflamingo and tell him about it.

But when he took out the Den Den Mushi, his pupils suddenly contracted; the Den Den Mushi he always carried with him had lost consciousness.

If one word could describe his state of mind at that moment, it would be "Holy crap..."

His recently calmed emotions were once again violently disrupted, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably. A very bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart; this was probably the greatest disaster the Donquixote Family had ever encountered since its founding.

"Dover~~~"

He quickly ran to a shop, borrowed their Den Den Mushi), and explained the situation to Doflamingo.

Upon hearing Diamante's words, Doflamingo fell silent. Clearly, he hadn't expected his prey to possess such strength, using Conqueror's Haki to force Diamante to his knees. Even Kaido didn't have such power.

However, the violence and madness in his blood quickly calmed him down, and then, as if remembering something, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! I knew Aokiji and Garp wouldn't recommend a newcomer to be one of the Shichibukai!! Another monster?? Hahahaha! Hahaha..."
