After hearing Trebol's reminder, Doflamingo considered it for a mont, then nodded faintly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just contact the Beast Pirates."
Doflamingo waved his hand at Trebol.
In the end, Trebol was just a subordinate. He just had to do what Doflamingo ordered. However, their relationship was unusual. When Doflamingo was young, Trebol had invested in him. The String-String Fruit Doflamingo had eaten was given to him by Trebol.
Trebol left. He could see that Doflamingo's ambition was great, and he wasn't content with the current situation. This was better. If he really had no ambition, then their choice would have been wrong.
anwhile, after Stussy left in anger, she did indeed cause so trouble for Doflamingo. But it was just a small problem that he could easily solve, and he didn't care.
Unable to get anything from Doflamingo, Stussy could only notify the Five Elders and have them co up with a solution. After all, she was doing this for them. They had to provide intelligence support.
The Five Elders did not refuse her request and agreed. And the way they found out Shin's whereabouts was, of course, through an undercover agent.
They asked the undercover agent Kalifa—and after Kalifa requested Shin's permission, he didn't ask her to hide it.
"Tell them... I want to see if this Queen of the Pleasure District's purpose is what I think it is," Shin said with a smile.
"Hmph, calling herself the Queen of the Pleasure District. She's definitely not a good person. When I see her, she's getting what's coming to her."
Hancock snorted lightly and said.
"Hancock, don't underestimate Stussy—she's no pushover," Shin warned.
She might not be quite on Hancock's level, but the gap wasn't huge. You don't beco an underworld boss without serious power to back it up.
In the original story, Stussy had taken out the Loan Shark King Lu Feld with a Flying Finger Pistol from several miles away. Her strength was probably close to Admiral level. After all, CP0 doesn't recruit weaklings.

"Let's stop at that island ahead."
Shin looked at the island in front of them. It was an unrecorded island, with no humans, but plenty of wild beasts.
"Are these land creatures?" Shirahoshi was like a curious baby, her injuries full of surprise.
She was extrely curious about everything on land.
"Be careful, Shirahoshi. This island is not safe, but I'll protect you." Marguerite said to Shirahoshi.
Originally, Marguerite was the youngest, but after Shirahoshi ca on board, the youngest beca her. So Marguerite was more friendly to Shirahoshi and liked her very much.
Hearing Marguerite say it was not safe, Shirahoshi was a little scared and quickly ca to Shin's side.

After staying for only half a day, Stussy, who had been looking for Shin, found them.
"Captain Shin, this is our first ti eting, right?"
Stussy looked at Shin and said with a smile.
"Stop."
"Take one more step and I'll cut you down where you stand," Hancock said coldly to Stussy.
Stussy's expression froze.
Honestly, no one had ever treated her like this before. Even the Five Elders showed her respect. Stussy's face twisted with rage, but Shin couldn't care less about her wounded pride.
"Tell , what's your purpose in finding ?" Shin asked calmly.
His calm tone infuriated Stussy. She was used to being treated with reverence, so Shin's casual indifference felt like a slap in the face. But she also knew exactly who she was dealing with—Shin Uzumaki was soone even the Five Elders considered a serious threat.
"It's like this, I know you have a relationship with Dragon, Captain Shin. I also want to cooperate with him. I was wondering if you could introduce ?"
Stussy said to Shin.
"Oh, you want to cooperate with Dragon too?" Shin looked at Stussy. In that instant, it was as if everything about her had been seen through by him.
Even though she felt she had been seen through, Stussy couldn't back down. She braced herself and nodded to Shin.
"Since you want to work with Dragon so badly, go find him yourself. Why do you need to make introductions? What am I, your ssenger boy?" Shin's voice turned razor-sharp, and crushing pressure slamd down on Stussy, making her body feel like it was sinking while the air was squeezed from her lungs.
"That's not it..." Stussy smiled stiffly, just to hide her embarrassnt.
Shin Uzumaki's aura was too strong. Before, she had been skeptical of his strength. It seed that his ability to make even the Five Elders wary was beyond doubt. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
"Then get the hell out of here." Shin waved his hand at Stussy.
Stussy was a bit stunned. 'What do you an, get the hell out? I haven't even finished speaking.'
And this was the first ti anyone had ever told her to get the hell out. She felt utterly humiliated and glared at Shin with pure rage.
"What, you got a problem with that??" Shin asked Stussy calmly.
"Captain Shin, don't push your luck. I have a reputation to maintain," Stussy's voice turned ice-cold. She was the Queen of the Pleasure District, after all. Being treated like this was completely unacceptable.
"What does that have to do with ? Your reputation ans jack shit to ."
Shin's attitude of completely disregarding her thoroughly enraged her.
""
In her fury, Stussy couldn't stop herself from attacking Shin. It wasn't that she'd forgotten how powerful he was—she just couldn't take it anymore. He was completely humiliating her, showing her zero respect. If she didn't fight back to salvage her dignity, how could she show her face anywhere again?
Seeing her attack, Shin remained completely calm, not moving an inch. He just quietly watched her approach. Not many people had the balls to co at him anymore.
Shin's expression stayed perfectly composed, but Shirahoshi beside him jumped in alarm, glancing at him nervously. He patted her head gently, then watched as Robin intercepted Stussy's attack.
