Meanwhile, on the Isel, after Luo Chen hung up the Den Den Mushi, everyone's questioning gazes immediately focused on him, as if asking, "How could you say such a thing? And how did you offend so many people?"
"Uh... why are you all making those faces... hey, hey, relax a bit, it's okay. Every pirate crew entering the New World will face this situation. Don't worry, trust your captain, I won't lead you into danger..."
Luo Chen waved to them, looking relaxed.
"Hehehe, that's what makes the captain so unsettling... Others wouldn't attract the attention of the Four Emperors and the Celestial Dragons Nobles as soon as they enter the New World, but you've managed to attract the attention of two at once, and both of them are beings we can't handle right now. What do you suggest we do? Should we turn back immediately and not go back in here?"
Even George, young, hot-tempered, and unwilling to yield to others, spoke up at this moment, saying indignantly.
Bang...
"Ouch!! That hurts..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Would your captain be that kind of person?"
"Uh-huh!!"
Luo Chen had hoped they would acknowledge his wisdom and prowess, but to his surprise, everyone else nodded in agreement.
"You... Hmph, I don't care. I'm the captain of this ship, I'm the boss here, so whatever decisions I make, you just have to agree to them. Anyway, I won't lead you into danger..."
Seeing this, Luo Chen could only turn his head away arrogantly, cross his arms, and declare in a dictatorial manner.
"Hmm... what you just said makes us feel really insecure... I can almost foresee the immense challenges we'll face after entering this New World..."
Monbuma, Lulith, and George sighed.
"Haha, that's the kind of captain I admire! That's how it should be! Only by constantly challenging strong opponents can one improve. Captain, I Phil, support you!!"
Phil, a warmonger, agreed wholeheartedly, walked over, patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, and acknowledged him.
As for Singh and Violet, one was quiet and reserved, so he didn't interrupt even though he knew everything. The other had just joined and had no say, so she couldn't interject. As for Catherine, one of the parties involved, she was lost in thought, seemingly pondering what Doflamingo had just said about her.
"Alright, let's not think about these things too much. Let's just keep sailing. If we really run into me, the captain, I'll have to get to the front no matter what..."
"Yes, Captain, you're right. George, don't think too much about it. It's lunchtime, everyone. Please rest for a while. Let Chef Monbuma prepare a meal to help you forget your worries. After eating, you'll be able to forget all those bad things..."
"Hmm, Monbuma, you'd better prepare plenty. Look at how these guys are, especially George. They won't be able to calm down after what just happened unless they eat a lot..."
"Yes, Captain..."
After finishing her speech, Monbuma enthusiastically went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone.
And so, with the delicious food carefully prepared by Monbuma before them, Luo Chen and his group temporarily forgot their worries and focused on the food in front of them.
Meanwhile, Katakuri group, having received another order from BIBMOM to search for Luo Chen and his companions, learned of their next destination through BIBMOM's extensive intelligence network throughout the New World. They set off ahead of Luo Chen and his group, attempting to arrive there before them.
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, the Seven Deadly Sins, a special bodyguard organization under the Celestial Dragons, received orders from Orange to pursue the Luo Chen Pirates. The group was gathered together to discuss who to send out.
"Big brother, I'll go this time. Don't worry, I alone am enough to defeat the Luo Chen Pirates and bring Miss Catherine back..."
The Seven Deadly Sins represent seven individuals with unique abilities and immense power. They are the strongest members of CP0, the Celestial Dragons ' guards, and are codenamed Pride, Envy, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony Lust.
At this moment, it was Mammon, codenamed Greed, who spoke up. Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time without deciding who should attack, he volunteered.
" Mammon, are you sure? That guy is a Shichibukai, and all of his crew members are quite strong, especially Captain Luo Chen, whose strength is second only to Admiral. Even Katakuri and Jack combined couldn't defeat him..."
The Pride man, whose strength he called "Big Brother" was unfathomable, asked him in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm aware of this... He's just a Shichibukai. Although his strength might be similar to mine, on this vast sea, the key to victory isn't just strength... With proper planning, I can even take down a Four Emperors!!"
Mammon patted his chest confidently and said to Pride.
"Alright then, you'll handle it. Also, I'll assign Lust to assist you..."
Remember this mission: success is the only option; failure is not an option. We must demonstrate the might of the Seven Deadly Sins as our offering to Saint Orange, the future successor of Gustav!
"Understood!!"
Greed Mammon and Lust Asmodeus responded in unison.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two took their leave to arrange matters concerning the Luo Chen Pirates.
"Boss, I don't understand. Someone like you, do you really need to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons?"
"The third-ranked, Wrath Samael asked."
" Samael, you don't understand. Although with my current strength I don't need to be as obedient to the Celestial Dragons as CP0, the future will be different."
The future of Saint Orange after obtaining that power is beyond our comprehension. We'll still have to choose sides then. Rather than passively choosing sides later, it's better to join now, using the head of pirate Luo Chen and my unharmed fiancée, Miss Catherine, as our entry point...
Pride began to explain to him.
"I understand. In that case, is it really alright to send Mammon and Asmodeus? If they delay things, we might even be blamed... Perhaps it would be better if I..."
Wrath, Samael tentatively began to speak.
"No, it's too early for you to make a move. If Mammon and Asmodeus can't handle Luo Chen and the others, what's the point of having them? Only intervene if it really comes to that."
The eldest brother waved his hand Pride.
"All right..."
Since his boss had said so, he naturally didn't dare disobey him and said no more.
Returning to Doflamingo and Dressrosa, he dialed the number for the Underworld, just as he had said before.
"Hey... this is JOKER. Yes, I'm issuing a notice to your area regarding the Shichibukai Luo Chen and his group. That's right, give them the following bonuses: 50 million Berries for each head, 300 million for the captain, and 300 million for the swordsman Catherine. That's it. If you can bring them to me, all the orders I just placed will be valid. I'll also add an extra Devil Fruit for them. Understand?"
Doflamingo channeled his pent-up resentment towards Luo Chen and his group into the Dark Bounty Poster, an organization formed by underground dark forces that employs pirates, marines, Pirate Hunter, Revolutionary Army, and the mafia as hunters.
After accepting Doflamingo's bounty, he issued a bounty order to the underworld worldwide, making it known to the world.

"Fufufufu~ I wonder if you guys can handle this, I'm really looking forward to it... Fufufufu~"
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's arrogant and sinister laughter echoed through the palace once more.
