Chapter 165
Marine Headquarters.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku was handling his daily official duties.
He's been incredibly busy lately.
For the Reverie, a large number of high-ranking naval officers needed to be coordinated to escort the kings of the Affiliated Nation.
This forced naval forces worldwide to shrink, and the resulting numerous problems had to be addressed by the Sengoku.
Fortunately, the Reverie has ended, and once all the kings are escorted back, everything will be over.
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and a communications soldier rushed in.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Urgent dispatch from the New World! At G-5 Base, the warship carrying Rear Admiral Reino has been attacked!"
The communications soldier handed over Den Den Mushi as he spoke.
"What?"
Sengoku looked up abruptly, his face filled with astonishment. He snatched the Den Den Mushi from the communications soldier's hand and shouted urgently, "Reno? What happened?!"
Soon, a weak voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that's Doflamingo. That guy said King Muriki was interfering with his business,"
His voice was weak and broken, "He killed King Muriki, and I was also severely wounded by him. He destroyed our warship, and everything on board is sinking into the deep sea. I probably won't last much longer."
"What!!"
Sengoku's forehead veins bulged, "Doflamingo? How dare he?!"
"Fleet Admiral Excellency, there's one more thing. Our Colonel Vergo at G-5 Base is actually Doflamingo's mole. Doflamingo had him pretend to be a survivor to deceive headquarters."
"Undercover agent?"
Sengoku's pupils contracted instantly.
Vergo, Sengoku actually had some impression of him.
Because that guy was quite strong, Sengoku personally transferred him to the G-5 Base.
Sengoku suddenly remembered something else from long ago.
That guy Vergo was one of those who went to Minion Island back then to retrieve the Op-Op Fruit!
Could Rosinante's death be related to him?
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what I said is absolutely true. Please, you must not tolerate Doflamingo..."
The voice on the other end grew increasingly weak.
"Reno, hold on! I'll send reinforcements right away!"
The voice of the Sengoku was urgent.
He looked up at the communications soldier, "If I remember correctly, Gion and Naito should be around there!"
"Contact them immediately and send Gion to provide assistance. Send Naito to Dressrosa at top speed!"
As for whether Reno's words are true or false, and whether Doflamingo actually did such a thing, we should find out when Gion arrives at the scene and when Naito meets Doflamingo!
Sengoku did indeed favor Doflamingo.
He had long disliked Doflamingo, and Rosinante's death was inextricably linked to that man!
However, the Shichibukai are not under the jurisdiction of the Navy, and concrete evidence is needed to convince the Five Elders to arrest Doflamingo.
Without any hesitation, the communications soldier responded loudly, "Yes, sir!"
So, very quickly, on Naito's side...
On the sixth ship of the Marine Guerrilla Unit.
"Understood."
Naito hung up the phone.
He glanced at Gion, whose expression was equally grave.
"I never expected something like this to happen! Doflamingo is far too arrogant!"
Gion was practically gritting her teeth in anger.
Without much hesitation, she said, "The area where Rear Admiral Reino and his men were attacked isn't far; I'll use Geppo to get there directly."
"My warships are escorting the kings' ships, following my lead. Little Naito, you must hurry to Dressrosa!"
"Good."
Naito nodded solemnly.
Well, if this time passes, Reno should still be alive. I kindly left quite a few planks around him.
There might be even more survivors.
In that case, Doffy would truly be unable to defend himself.
After all, King Muriki really did affect the Donquixote Family's business, even though he himself didn't know how it happened. But what could he do when Tesoro and Du Feld were just too powerful?
So they split up and acted separately.
Gion, like a great bird treading the air, soared into the distance.
The warship she was on, along with the ships carrying the kings, quickly changed course in her direction.
Naito's Marine Guerrilla Unit ship, No. 6, headed straight for Dressrosa without hesitation.
The distance was indeed not that far.
"So, the next target is that Doflamingo guy?"
Binz said angrily, "I knew all along that those Shichibukai were unreliable, but I never imagined that bastard Doflamingo would actually do something like this!"
"Fortunately, Rear Admiral Reino found a Den Den Mushi,"
Ain sighed and said, "Otherwise, Headquarters would never have known anything, Doflamingo would still be able to get away with it!"
"However, the Shichibukai must be incredibly powerful, right?"
The young chef, Sanji, was somewhat apprehensive.
"Ah?"
Binz looked at his little brother with some surprise, then burst out laughing, "Aren't you underestimating Naito, Sanji!"
"What's so special about Doflamingo? Naito fought him long ago and was completely Naito! Not to mention Naito has gone even further now!"
Sanji nodded blankly, then scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly. "Oh, I see? Rear Admiral Naito is really amazing!"
"You little brat,"
Binz raised his hand and patted Sanji on the head. "We're already so familiar, calling him 'Rear Admiral Naito' is too formal."
Sanji paused slightly, a hint of excitement in his expression, "Brother Naito..."
"Um."
Naito nodded slightly, then said, "The Donquixote Family is quite large. I'll handle the main leaders, and you can deal with the rest of the underlings."
These three guys are all pretty strong, especially Sanji and Ain.
Ain's ability is too insidious; even Doflamingo's own Haki might not be able to resist her Return-Return Fruit, let alone his scoundrels.
Sanji's defensive capabilities are even more astonishing when he wears his battle suit; apart from Pica, no one in the Donquixote Family should be able to hurt him.
"Leave it to us!"
However, before the stronger Sanji and Ain could even speak, Binz clenched his fist excitedly, "Finally, it's our turn to make a name for ourselves!"
Naito's lips twitched slightly.
Regardless, the massive warship braved the wind and waves, approaching Dressrosa at full speed.
Shortly after that time arrived.
Dressrosa.
The large ship, with Doflamingo- shaped prow, slowly docked at the country's port.
"Fufufufu!"
Wearing a pink feather cloak, Doflamingo strode arrogantly off the deck.
Upon seeing his return, the common people in the port cheered excitedly.
"It's His Majesty the King!"
"His Doflamingo is back!"
"Your Majesty, I want to bear your child!"
"Lord Doflamingo, we admire and respect you!"
It's clear that he's very popular.
"Fufufufu!"
Doflamingo chuckled maniacally.
What a bunch of idiots! They were easily manipulated.
King Riku's reputation, built up over many years, was instantly shattered when he merely manipulated Riku into staging a massacre, causing everyone to hate him to the core without questioning the reasons.
However, Sugar's abilities also played a crucial role in the process of manipulating the country.
This country has long been trapped in its own Birdcage, and everyone is nothing more than a caged bird at its mercy.
Doflamingo opened his arms, seemingly to embrace the people in the port, or perhaps even the entire nation.
"I'm back! Dressrosa!"
Chapter 115: Donquixote's Doomsday Has Arrived!
Let's go back to a time slightly before Doflamingo returned to Dressrosa.
On the vast, boundless sea, Gion soared into the sky like a giant bird.
You can now clearly see the devastated sea below.
Many bodies, including those of sailors and ordinary people, floated on the sea where the waves had gradually subsided.
It also contained some miscellaneous items and fragments of ships.
It's obvious at a glance that a disaster happened here not long ago.
If we had come any later, perhaps all traces would have been swallowed up by the sea.
However, it seems I arrived just in time.
There were several relatively large pieces of ship debris on the sea below, with a few shaken naval soldiers gathered on them.
"It's all over now!"
