Take Out That...

Dressrosa, on the edge of the coast.

"Please have the Navy escort this vicious pirate back to Marine Headquarters. If possible, could you relay any information you receive regarding Uchiha Huayue to Dressrosa?"

King Riku was filled with worry, and in just over half a month, his hair had turned somewhat gray.

The already impoverished Dressrosa suffered even more after experiencing such a terrible price, making their lives even more impoverished.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kingdom of Dressrosa had a good reputation among the surrounding kingdoms and that many countries had stepped forward to help, King Riku wouldn't know how to repair this severely damaged country.

"Escorting pirates is our duty as naval officers to uphold justice. As for information about the Four Emperors, I need to consult the Marine Headquarters and have Fleet Admiral Sengoku issue the order."

"I have heard your request. It would be best to send this vicious pirate to Impel Down as soon as possible, after all, he was once Seven Warlords of the Sea ..."

Upon hearing the young general's reply, King Riku felt a little calmer and waved to the royal army soldiers behind him.

Moments later, under the hostile gazes of countless Kingdom soldiers, Donquixote Doflamingo, expressionless, was escorted by a group of naval soldiers to the naval prison ship.

Just as the ship was about to depart, King Riku suddenly felt uneasy and asked the young general in front of him without thinking.

"Major General, may I ask your name?"

"Vergo, the commander of Navy G-5 Branch, Vergo ..."

His usual bowl cut was now a buzz cut, but his lightning-shaped sideburns remained the same, and the spoon stuck to his face made the surrounding Wang Guojun pause slightly in surprise.

"G-5 Branch Chief Vergo, then Doflamingo is in your hands. Please, Navy, think of these oppressed people and escort him to prison unharmed!"

Soon, with King Riku and the people of Dressrosa watching, the prison ship sailed towards Marine Headquarters...

The waves of the New World are always magnificent, especially at night. Unless you see it with your own eyes, you never know what strange and wonderful things might happen.

The naval soldiers on night patrol remained on high alert, after all, they were escorting one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea and his associates.

This is a high-prisoner that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku specifically ordered to be escorted to the Impel Down. If any loss occurs during the escort, then things will be really serious!

"Ugh, I've been traveling for days and nights straight, I'm so sleepy..."

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, pay attention! This guy is Seven Warlords of the Sea. If you're careless, you might lose your lives!"

"Major, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? Even if that guy is strong, he's just an Ability User at most. If he's wearing Seastone handcuffs, he's bound to be completely powerless."

The naval officers on night watch, laughing and joking, only added to the frustration of the major who was their squad leader.

But then, a rustling sound made the naval soldiers, who had been joking with each other, instantly become alert.

"Have you noticed that there seems to be less noise on the ship since just now? Is my Observation Haki malfunctioning?"

"Come to think of it, that's really true..."

In an instant, the naval squad became alert, their eyes scanning in all directions.

Thump thump thump...

Footsteps suddenly sounded, and many naval soldiers instinctively pointed their guns in the direction of the sound.

As the lights came on, the previously apprehensive naval soldiers immediately relaxed and beamed with smiles upon seeing the newcomers.

"Major General Vergo!"

At this moment, Vergo emerged from the shadows, his emerald green bamboo staff standing out conspicuously, which further reassured the group of naval soldiers.

In the G-5 Branch, known for its lax military discipline but top-ranking naval strength, the branch leader, Vergo, is not only approachable but also enjoys a good reputation among the surrounding kingdoms and civil administrations.

"Yes, remain vigilant. Donquixote Doflamingo has a well-known reputation in the underworld. Be careful that his allies don't send people to rescue him."

With light steps, Vergo slowly passed by the group, but what happened next was far beyond the expectations of these G-5 Branch naval soldiers.

"Who's there!"

Vergo shouted, and many of the navy officers turned to look into the distance, following their commander's gaze.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A purple afterimage streaked past, and before any of the naval soldiers could react, they completely lost consciousness.

Such scenes were playing out continuously on the naval prison ship until the last naval soldier lost consciousness. Vergo then took out the Seastone key and walked with steady steps.

Squeak!

The rusty door slowly opened, revealing Doflamingo, who was bound to the floor in a dismembered manner, smiling radiantly.

"That was a clean slate, Vergo..."

"Who hurt you like this? The plan to take over Dressrosa shouldn't be foolproof. It's rare to see you in such a sorry state, Doffy."

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo made no attempt to hide anything, replying with a smile, which made Vergo clench his right fist, cracking the emerald green bamboo staff in his hand.

"The one who begged Trafalgar Rona to help out of the Four Emperors, Uchiha Huayue, is probably just trying to make the information Rosinante risked her life to deliver seem more valuable, fufufufufu!"

His smile was sinister and terrifying; he didn't even notice the blood oozing from his ruptured organs, a sight that sent chills down Vergo's spine.

"Law and Rosinante, if I had known it would turn out like this, I should have killed them without hesitation back then. What are we going to do now, Doffy, your title of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"It doesn't matter. I can earn a reputation again and steal money again, but there is one thing that I must do in advance: find a powerful backer to protect me."

"Speaking of this, do you remember that guy who was the first to be released from Impel Down with our Donquixote Family? I heard his pirate crew recently joined the ranks of the Four Emperors..."

The ship, adrift in the middle of the ocean, was like an isolated island. As the secret talks of many Donquixote Family executives came to an end, a new problem was once again put on the table.

"Doffy, now we've lost all our wealth and our pirate ship, what are we going to do next?!"

"A year ago, didn't we acquire that thing and put it up for auction in the Sabaody Archipelago, which would have brought us a huge sum of money immediately?"

In an instant, the Donquixote Family members were shocked, and Trebol looked particularly distressed.

"We went through so much trouble to get that, are we really going to put it up for auction and sell it?"

"There's nothing we can do. We've already lost everything! sobs"

"Alright, I'm going to get started, Vergo..."
