Chapter 167

However, I don't need them to provide clues as NPCs.

Thank me, Your Honor, Naito, for clearing your name and redressing your grievances.

Naito's lips curled slightly.

The city of Dressrosa is actually quite large, considering that the country has a population of several million.

The city was quite lively.

As Naito flew overhead, he saw a number of toys swaggering around the streets below.

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit's power is indeed quite formidable.

It can not only turn humans into toys, but also make everyone forget them.

Finally, you can even make a contract with the toys, making them work for you.

If I remember correctly, these toys roam the streets during the day, but at night they are forced by contract to go to the Toy House to work hard for the Donquixote Family.

Doflamingo certainly knows how to exploit people.

Okay, when we go to Impel Down buy supplies next time, we must give Sugar special attention.

What a talent!

While he was pondering this, Naito had already arrived at the top of the King's Plateau and could clearly see the luxurious palace below.

Doflamingo's presence is right here.

So.

Donquixote Family, your end is near.

Naito, begin your descent.

Chapter 116 Unstoppable

Well then, let's say hello first.

As Knight plummeted rapidly towards the palace below, Naito right index finger turned jet black, and an invisible Haki danced at its tip.

He simply flicked his right finger.

Flying Finger Pistol.

Even if it's just a regular air blast, the power will still be quite astonishing after being infused with Armament Haki of the Internal Destruction level.

Almost instantly, a smooth, circular hole was silently pierced through the roof of the palace.

Then, this bullet made of air continued to descend, easily piercing through the walls and floor.

We finally arrived at that place.

Let's rewind to a slightly earlier time, to a luxurious room high up in this rather large palace.

King Doflamingo of Dressrosa sat leisurely on a soft sofa, his legs crossed, swirling a glass of red wine in his right hand.

Standing in front of Doflamingo was a woman wearing a long dress with purple polka dots.

The woman had long brown hair. At this moment, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and gripped her left forearm with her right hand. If you looked closely, you could see that her body was trembling slightly.

"Fufufufu, Viola,"

Doflamingo looked at the woman with interest. "You came all this way to see me, surely not just for a casual chat?"

The young woman named Viola gritted her teeth slightly, then raised her head and pleaded, "Doflamingo, my father was injured in yesterday's duel, and he can't participate today. Please, let him rest for a few days."

"Rest? Hey, hey, hey!"

Doflamingo burst into laughter and said, "Are you kidding me, Miss Viola? Your father, King Riku, has committed a grave error against this country. I'm only sparing his life and punishing him by making him a gladiator; that's already extremely merciful."

Viola gritted her teeth.

It's not that this man is soft-hearted at all!

It was because this man coveted her abilities that he threatened her with her father's life to force her to serve the Donquixote Family!

Moreover, my father was framed by this man; he is the real culprit.

But there's nothing we can do.

Viola knew very well that there was nothing she could do.

She could only lower her head and plead, "Doflamingo, please, my father is my only family left!"

Her mother is dead, her sister is dead, and Rebecca has disappeared.

Viola's father was now her only remaining family member.

"Oh, what are you saying, Viola?"

Doflamingo's words remained mocking, "You've long been a member of the Donquixote Family. Aren't all the family's executives your relatives?"

Viola gritted her teeth.

This scumbag!!

The beautiful woman knelt down, pleading, "I'll do anything you want, Doflamingo, please, spare my father!"

"Oh? You'll do anything I ask?"

Doflamingo's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Fufu--what?"

Doflamingo's smile froze abruptly. He abruptly raised his head, flicked his left hand, and threads spread from his palm, transforming into a black whip that lashed upwards into the air.

Bump!!

A sudden burst of wind blew through the air, sending all the furnishings in the room flying everywhere.

The long, silken whip was struck hard and suddenly burst into individual strands of silk.

But at least they managed to block the sudden attack.

"..."

Viola looked up in surprise.

What happened?

Was it attacked?

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo threw away the glass of red wine in his right hand. The glass hit the ground with a crisp sound, and the wine and glass shards shattered.

His Majesty the King of Dressrosa stood up, his forehead veins bulging with a grotesque laugh. He tilted his head back, his eyes seemingly piercing through the ceiling and walls, seeing someone in the sky above.

"Interesting! They actually dare to cause trouble for me on my turf!"

"I'll see just who this guy is!"

Like a spring up from dry land, Doflamingo's cloak billowed behind him as he soared into the air like a monstrous bird.

The ceiling and walls above suddenly turned into threads, revealing a passage that allowed him to leap upwards.

Viola just stared blankly as Doflamingo soared into the sky.

The Donquixote Family has been attacked?

Driven by some inexplicable impulse, the princess of the fallen kingdom started running. She rushed to the windowsill of the room, jumped out of the window, and landed on the roof outside.

After running along the rooftops for a while, I finally saw it.

On the pointed rooftop of a building not far away, a figure stood silently.

Viola's pupils contracted instantly; that person was—

At the same time, Doflamingo, who was soaring into the sky, also saw that figure.

His previously aggressive expression froze.

Then, a look of apprehension appeared on Doflamingo's face instead.

"OiOiOi, isn't this Rear Admiral Rear Admiral Naito, the Navy's rising star and new naval hero?"

Doflamingo landed on the pointed roof of his room, his back slightly arched, his legs bent slightly, his whole body like a taut cheetah, ready to pounce at any moment.

He was very vigilant.

"I didn't receive any notification to receive you, and besides, launching a sudden attack on the king of Affiliated Nation is a serious crime."

Naito couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of what he was about to say and Doflamingo's reaction.

And then he really did laugh, raising the corners of his mouth like a sunny, cheerful young man, revealing a hearty smile.

"Doflamingo, you've been caught."

"What?"

Doflamingo was indeed somewhat bewildered.

What is this guy saying?

He hasn't done anything lately.

Could it be that their strategic partnership with the Beasts Pirates has been exposed?

What's the big deal? The World Government is making deals with the Beasts Pirates!

"Still playing dumb."

Naito's smile turned cold. "Just because King Muriki was interfering with your business, you dared to attack the warships at G-5 Base? You really have some nerve."

"Huh?"

Doflamingo tilted his head in confusion.

What is this guy saying?

"King Muriki was killed by you, and his warship was sunk by you. Thousands of officers and soldiers on board, as well as King Muriki's guards, perished at sea."

Naito perfectly embodied the saying that only those who wronged you truly understand how wronged you are. He almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but still tried his best not to. "If Rear Admiral Reino hadn't barely survived and exposed you, you would indeed have escaped punishment."

"After all, who would have thought that Vergo at G-5 Base was actually a spy you sent into the Navy?"

"But unfortunately, you underestimated the power of justice."

"What!!"

Doflamingo's body stiffened instantly.

Vergo!

Has Vergo been exposed?

What exactly happened? What really occurred?

Is someone setting me up?

Muriqi was indeed getting in the way of his business, but he wasn't crazy enough to kill a king of Affiliated Nation just for that!
