Chapter 173

But it's real meat.

Although he only took two punches, those two punches completely depleted his Armament Haki.

Even though Jhin was severely injured, this guy was still not dead.

Everything else is green except for the health bar; Doflamingo is indeed quite authoritative in that regard.

In any case, this time the objective should be considered to have been achieved quite perfectly.

Naito grabbed Doflamingo by the foot and dragged the man like a dead pig, speeding away towards the city.

Let's go and meet up with Binz and the others first.

Dressrosa was in complete chaos at this time.

The sudden transformation of tens of thousands of toys into human form had a significant impact on the city's residents.

The evil deeds of the Donquixote Family were exposed.

Some were bewildered and at a loss, while others refused to believe it.

But most people were filled with righteous indignation.

After all, everyone knows that these toys only started appearing after the Donquixote Family arrived, and people have seen that these toys really did turn into people!

How can you not believe that?

So a large number of people took to the streets and headed towards the King's Plateau, wanting to find Doflamingo and get an answer.

This is the scene that greeted the navy, led by Ain, as they escorted Trebol and other members of the Donquixote Family back into the streets.

"Oh? It's really lively here."

Binz said with some surprise.

"Lively? More like trouble."

Ain frowned slightly.

Although Doflamingo was a great sinner, he was still the king of this country.

Doflamingo should now have been captured by Naito.

So, who will take charge of this country's overall situation next?

Putting everything else aside, with so many people taking to the streets now, a slight mishap could easily lead to chaos.

It's unclear what the World Government will do next.

Before Ain could figure anything out, they were immediately surrounded by the crowd.

"Miss Navy officer, may I ask what brings you to this country?"

"Those who turned back from the toys are saying that His Majesty Doflamingo is a great villain. Is that true? Also, did you turn the toys back?"

"Are you here to arrest Doflamingo? Has that scum been caught yet?!"

What will become of this country next? What plans does the World Government have?

A barrage of questions came from all directions, Ain immediately frowned.

More and more people are gathering; if this continues, a stampede might occur.

However, it was at this time...

What are you all doing gathered here? To block the traffic?

A detached voice echoed in the sky.

Ain looked up in surprise and immediately saw Naito floating in the air.

He was still carrying a bloodied and mangled figure in his hand.

Ain's lips curled into a smile instantly.

So the battle ended that quickly after all?

Well, that's only natural. Naito personally went out in force, so what is Doflamingo anyway?

Ain took it for granted, but Trebol, bound by the shackles of Seastone, felt as if the sky had fallen.

Trebol's heart broke as he watched Doflamingo being held upside down in the air by Naito's legs.

Although he had expected it, Trebol was still devastated to see Doflamingo beaten like a dead dog.

Doffy—

"It's Rear Admiral Naito!"

"So it was him who came in person! Such an important figure must have come for Doflamingo!"

It must be said that Naito's fame is quite high; many citizens recognized him immediately.

Then came a host of problems.

"Rear Admiral Naito, what exactly is going on?"

"Yes! Please give us an answer. Did you come here to capture Doflamingo?"

Did Doflamingo and his Donquixote Family really commit so many crimes?

Various sounds came from below, but Naito only found it noisy.

How annoying!

"Quiet."

Naito frowned and raised his voice, "Doflamingo is suspected of murdering the king of Affiliated Nation and massacring naval soldiers. Headquarters has sent me to arrest him."

"After arriving in Dressrosa, I discovered that he had committed even more crimes. Using his subordinates, who were also gifted individuals, to turn many opponents into toys and enslave them was just one of his crimes. There were also accusations that he King Riku and plotted to usurp Dressrosa."

"He has now been arrested by me. The specific details will only be clear after the government has conducted a thorough investigation."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone on the street with precision.

It was only at this moment that people noticed Doflamingo, who was being held in Naito's hand.

"That can't be Doflamingo! That Shichibukai Doflamingo has been beaten up like this!"

"Wow, that's impressive! Truly worthy of Rear Admiral Naito!"

"Wait, what do you mean by framing King Riku and plotting to usurp Dressrosa?! Does that mean that the massacre King Riku committed two years ago was also Doflamingo's doing?!"

"So that's how it is! I knew it! How could the kind and forgiving King Riku suddenly go mad!"

"Doflamingo! What a despicable man!"

The crowd immediately erupted in discussion.

These sudden news items caught them completely off guard and left them little time to process them.

However, one thing is generally accepted.

"So, it was Rear Admiral Naito who saved this country!"

"Yes! If it weren't for Rear Admiral Naito, we don't know how much longer we would have been fooled by Doflamingo!"

"As expected of the Naito the Hero! He's truly amazing!"

"Naito the Hero! You saved this country, we love you!"

Praises came from all directions, and this time Naito found them quite pleasing to the ear.

And there were other expressions of gratitude interspersed among them.

"Rear Admiral Naito! If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to turn back into a toy!"

"Me too! Rear Admiral Naito, thanks to you, I was able to reunite with my family! I am so grateful!"

The people who had just been transformed back into human form from toys were the most grateful to Naito.

Almost everyone expressed their deepest gratitude.

"Alright, I've said all I can say. Now everyone go home and don't hinder our operations."

"It sounds nice, but we can't let these people continue to block this place," Naito raised his voice. "Next, we need to capture the other Donquixote Family executives."

The other members of the Donquixote Family were still scattered around King's Plateau like scattered flowers.

Then Naito added, "By the way, don't try to cause trouble at this time, unless you also want to be my enemy."

"Understood, Rear Admiral Naito! I don't think anyone would dare to risk becoming your enemy and act recklessly!"

"Don't worry, Rear Admiral Naito, we will keep a close eye on everyone else and will not allow anyone to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble!"

Then, the road was finally clear.

Naito landed in the Navy's ranks, casually tossing Doflamingo to his men, telling them to handcuff him and give him first aid.

Even with Doflamingo's high health bar, he was indeed on the verge of death after taking two punches from Naito.

"Tsk,"

Binz looked at Doflamingo with great interest. "This guy's vitality is really tenacious. He's been beaten like that and he's still alive?"

"This is what Nezumi in the sewers look like."

Naito simply said it casually.

Trebol gritted his teeth.

But the next moment, he slumped his head in dejection.

At this point, it's all meaningless.

"Brother Naito, things are going smoothly on our end too!"

Sanji leaned closer, pulled down his mask, and said with a hint of smugness, "We've arrested everyone in the factory."

Naito glanced back briefly at Trebol and Baby-5, who had been turned into children, and then said approvingly, "Well done."

Baby-5 aside, Trebol still has some strength.

He might be slightly inferior to Vergo, but he's at least at the level of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

The fact that the three of them, including Ain, were able to take him down together is quite impressive.

Sanji beamed with joy upon receiving the compliment.

"Of course!"

Binz immediately raised his head, "Don't you even know who made the move!"

Naito glanced at him, then looked at Ain, "Judging from the looks of these two, I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, Ain."

Ain tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled faintly, "It's much simpler than I imagined."

As she spoke, she glanced at Binz, who was gritting his teeth, and said, "Let's praise Binz a bit; at least he didn't drag us down."

Naito immediately nodded in agreement. "That's certainly commendable, excellent, Binz."

"What do you mean I didn't hold anyone back!"

Binz yelled, "This is supposed to be a chance to show off your skills, okay? That bastard Naito is one thing, but why did you have to come, Ain?!"
