"Hey, what's going on? Why is Doflamingo taking so many people to the first half of the Grand Line?"
By the time Sengoku received the news, Doflamingo had already taken his officers and Combat Crew Members past the Holy Land Mary Geoise. Ordinary Shichibukai could not get through so quickly, but Doflamingo was an exception.

Right now, Sengoku only wanted to know Doflamingo's objective. The Donquixote Family usually operated in the New World, so why had he brought so many people to the first half of the Grand Line?

"Doflamingo isn't someone we can talk out of this. Tsuru, go there."
Tsuru refused without
