Watching Cyrus's back as he sheathed his sword, Robin walked to his side.
"That's true. I just didn't expect the natural disasters in the New World to be this severe. It's incredible."
"Back then, Roger, who wasn't yet the Pirate King, fought a great battle with Shiki's Flying Pirate Crew. The result was that Shiki's fleet was destroyed by a sudden storm, and he himself was severely injured," Cyrus nodded.
"It's hard to imagine the power of that storm!" Issho's voice rang out, sounding quite curious.
"It's best not to encounter it." Robin looked at the small, iceberg-like chunks of ice floating on the sea in the distance, feeling a bit emotional.
Flas swept across the sea's surface, and the dense cluster of small icebergs quickly lted and disappeared, leaving a thick layer of water vapor floating above the water.
The ship passed through the misty sea and continued its voyage towards Dressrosa.
...
Dressrosa.
The country was exactly the sa as before, with humans and living toys coexisting as if everyone had grown accustod to it.
From the outside, it appeared enthusiastic and peaceful. However, the atmosphere inside the royal palace at this mont was very oppressive.
"He's here!" Violet announced, standing at the highest point of the palace and making a strange gesture to use her ability.
To one side, Doflamingo sat on a soft red sofa, his expression grave and his thoughts completely unreadable.
Hearing Violet's words, Doflamingo looked up at her and a thin thread of string silently wrapped around the dancer's neck.
Feeling the touch on her throat, Violet's heart tightened and she turned her head back.
"Not long ago, soone spread a piece of news. Even knowing this news was useless, she still sent it out. So, how should I deal with this person?" Doflamingo asked, grinning to reveal a mouthful of pearly white teeth.
Hearing his words, Violet knew that her espionage had been exposed.
"So when did you start? Oh, the North Blue, right?" Doflamingo said as he stood up, walked in front of Violet, and looked down at her.
"It seems you no longer care about your father's life. Oh, and your cute niece."
Hearing Doflamingo say this, Violet, who had been calm just a mont ago, showed a nervous fearful expression.
"I know he's very powerful, but even the most powerful people have weaknesses," Doflamingo said with a cold smile, looking at the princess.
"Watch her!"
If Violet had indeed been in contact with Cyrus, perhaps she could be used as leverage if the situation turned unfavorable later.
If the grand plan could truly succeed, then the situation would be entirely reversed, and his huge disadvantage would beco his greatest aid.
Of course, the probability of this was very small, but not non-existent.
"Her ability is indeed quite good," Shamrock, a man with striking red hair, observed after Violet was taken away.
"Are you talking about her, or Sugar?" Doflamingo asked, looking at the Vice-Commander of the God's Knights.
As a forr Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo knew what the existence of the God's Knights ant to the nobles, and he could also vaguely guess that a great hand controlling the world was hidden deep within Mary Geoise.
And this hand had appeared during the previous Mary Geoise incident, manifesting as the massive shadow that had appeared when Cyrus attacked the Holy Land. But
Doflamingo did not ntion this matter in front of these mbers of the God's Knights.
"Both! After this is over, I'm taking these two back with ." Shamrock's tone was calm, yet it carried an air of absolute non-negotiation.
A vein throbbed on Doflamingo's forehead.
"This is not what we agreed on."
"What we agreed on? Doflamingo, if you do this well, you'll be able to save your own life. That's already enough," Shamrock retorted.
After finishing his piece, the knight stood up and left directly.
After Shamrock left, Trebol's lips moved, but Doflamingo raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
Violet had been very cautious in her actions, so much so that even Doflamingo hadn't discovered her betrayal, instead, it was Shamrock who had tipped him off.
This ant that these guys had special thods and perhaps the entire palace, or even all of Dressrosa, was currently under their surveillance.
But right now, he was powerless, so he still had to cooperate with these people.
"We only got one chance. Get Sugar ready. Given his abilities, others can't get close to him and he will definitely detect them," Doflamingo ordered.
"Doffy, if we fail, then those guys..." Trebol's expression was incredibly hesitant.
"If we fail, then everything in Dressrosa will be aningless."
Sugar's ability was very special.
If she was rendered unconscious, her ability would be undone, aning the power had a major flaw, but its effect was incredibly potent.
Even pirates with bounties of several hundred million would be turned into toys with no ability to resist after being touched by Sugar.
But Sugar had never tried it on soone of Cyrus's level, after all, it wasn't easy to even et a being of that tier, let alone test if the Hobby-Hobby Fruit would actually work.
"Doffy, Kaido's side..." Trebol fell silent for a mont before speaking again, this ti ntioning the Emperor.
"The deal isn't enough to make a guy like Kaido take action. But with these guys, no one can predict what they'll do," Doflamingo shook his head.
His offer of several dozen Devil Fruits had not received a single response from Kaido's side.
According to his calculations, Kaido probably didn't want to clash with Cyrus over these things, because after all, Cyrus's slash that cut through the Red Line was simply too astonishing.
No one could block that attack, not even Kaido, who had many records of actively seeking death in the New World.
That was just Kaido's way of showing how strong he was, he wasn't really trying to die and of course, it was also highly possible he was just drunk when he attempted suicide.
Doflamingo's thoughts began to wander.
High in the sky above Dressrosa, the News Birds circled patiently.
...
When Cyrus had him release his location, Morgans knew there would be a massive commotion in Dressrosa, but he couldn't guess the specific situation.
If it was just a Warlord, it wouldn't count as big news anymore, and even Doflamingo's forr status as a Celestial Dragon was not worth much attention now.
After all, so many Celestial Dragons had just died not long ago.
Morgans had a premonition.
A massive vortex was brewing over the entire sea, and when this vortex finished brewing, it would usher in a colossal wave that no one could imagine.
The entire world would change because of this colossal wave.
"Damn it, I'll probably be swamped with work then," Morgans complained, but anyone could clearly hear the pure excitent in his voice.
An endless supply of big news to report.
This feeling was truly blissful!
