"But now that the City of Nights is back in your hands, I'd like to get involved as well. In your hands, that place is an incredible money-making machine. Fufufu… I've got a huge number of people under now, and even a whole kingdom to support," Doflamingo said.
"Do whatever you want."
"Oh right, where's Whitebeard these days? I'm not familiar with the routes in the New World. You can help find him, right?" Rosinante asked.
"No problem. Fufufu… even if there was a problem, once you ask, then there's no problem anymore. After all, there's no one left in this world capable of making things difficult for you." Doflamingo laughed.
"It's just leading the way. Don't make it sound so serious, like you're doing so enormous favor," Rosinante replied.
"Fufufu… the Whitebeard Pirates aren't so easy to find. Aside from their own crew and the pirate groups under Whitebeard's banner, only middlen like who deal directly with pirates can track them down. They really are pirates who treat the sea as their ho. Today they're here, tomorrow they're sowhere else, and not necessarily even within Whitebeard's territory."
Doflamingo leaned back as he continued.
"You have to understand, Whitebeard is practically the supre overlord of the New World now. No one can stop him wherever he goes. Trying to locate the Moby Dick isn't simple."
"That old man's still as domineering as ever," Rosinante said with a faint smile.
"If you want to et him, we'll first have to contact the Whitebeard Pirates and arrange a location. So you'll need to wait a bit. Luckily, Dressrosa's a wonderful place for sightseeing. Spend a few days here and enjoy yourself. See how my Dressrosa is doing."
"Fine by …"
Just as they were talking, a sudden commotion erupted outside, followed by the sound of explosions.
"Looks like you've got quite a few guests today, Doffy," Rosinante said with an amused smile.
The mont he heard that, Doflamingo's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. The last thing he wanted was to lose face in front of Rosinante.
"What happened?" Doflamingo asked coldly.
"Hehehe, I'll go take a look," Trebol said as he stood up.
"I don't care what it is. Deal with it. I don't want any trouble today."
"Hehehe, leave it to , Doffy."
"Young Master, I'll go too," Diamante said as he rose to his feet.
"Fine. Whoever's causing trouble, eliminate them imdiately."
"Understood."
Trebol and Diamante left the room together.
"What happened?" Trebol asked once they stepped outside.
"No idea, but from the noise it seems to be coming from the underground port. Probably so idiot pirate causing trouble again," Lao G and the others guarding outside replied as they walked over.
"Hehehe… then let's go. No matter who it is today, kill them all. Doffy absolutely doesn't want to lose face in front of His Majesty the Dragon King," Trebol sneered.
"Trebol… what kind of person is this Dragon King exactly?" Law suddenly asked with confusion in his voice.
"The Young Master seems incredibly concerned about his image in front of him. He clearly doesn't want to embarrass himself today. His mood's been strange… almost like…"
"Like a child trying to compete and show off?" Trebol finished for him.
Law fell silent, but the aning was obvious.
Although Doflamingo had tried to hide it, everyone could still see the faint trace of pride and display in his expression.
He was showing off everything he had achieved today. His kingdom. His loyal subordinates.
And the mont the disturbance outside started, Doflamingo's expression had changed instantly. Those familiar with him could clearly see the gloom and fury in his eyes.
That was rare.
After all, the people they dealt with were lawless pirates. Argunts and fights breaking out over the slightest disagreent were common occurrences.
Normally, Doflamingo wouldn't care much about such things.
But today was different.
It was as though losing face here was sothing utterly intolerable.
"Hehehe… Doffy can lose face in front of anyone else, but never in front of him," Trebol said.
"Even though Doffy is the Dragon King's older brother, the person whose acknowledgnt he desires most is still his younger brother's. Perhaps in Doffy's eyes, only after earning his approval can his success truly an sothing."
"That's why today, no matter who causes trouble, they'll be shown no rcy. Doffy cannot afford to lose face."
Hearing Trebol's words, Law, Lao G, and the others all revealed shocked expressions.
They had never imagined their overwhelmingly mature and domineering Young Master had such a side to him.
"Surprised?" Trebol chuckled.
"But it's no wonder. Our Dragon King is simply too monstrous. So monstrous that anyone who sees him can't help but admire him."
"Doffy would never admit it himself, but even a king like him has, at so point, begun to admire that terrifying younger brother of his."
"And once soone achieves success, naturally they want acknowledgnt from the person they admire most."
"That's why Doffy's furious right now."
Law frowned slightly.
"What kind of person… is this Dragon King exactly?" he asked quietly.
"Why have I never even heard of him before?"
