On the ship, watching the severely damaged Numancia Flamingo sail away, Gion slowly withdrew her gaze.
"Saint Rosse, Doflamingo still harbors disloyalty."
"If he had no disloyalty, he would not be Doflamingo. But he is a smart man, he knows what he should do," Rosse smiled faintly, not surprised; Doflamingo was forever a dog that could not be properly raised.
But if a man's strength was too great, then even if not properly raised, the dog would obediently stay for a lifeti, not daring to have thoughts of rebellion.
"I still don't think he's a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have recklessly co to us," Gion shook her head, expressing confusion, even feeling Doflamingo could be compared to those foolish pirates, otherwise he wouldn't have bumped into their ship.
"If I were just an ordinary Celestial Dragon, maybe he really could have fooled ," Rosse smiled.
Doflamingo coming to find him was simply to seek cooperation, using money or rare items to bribe him.
If it were Shamrock or Roswald instead, perhaps they really would have been bluffed by Doflamingo; reaching cooperation wouldn't be surprising.
Establishing a cooperative relationship with Doflamingo, even for Rosse, had many benefits. Plus, Doflamingo's identity could barely be tied to the Celestial Dragons; under normal circumstances, they would agree.
However, with Rosse's current strength, there was no need to talk cooperation with Doflamingo. It would be better to just annex him directly.
Besides strength and talent, Rosse also quite recognized Doflamingo; in terms of managent and strength developnt, Doflamingo was far stronger than Crocodile, another future Shichibukai.

[Alia Island]
This was an uninhabited island located in the North Blue.
On the coastal beach, a mature woman with short golden hair was slightly panting, the white suit symbolizing CP0 had several cuts, with so still oozing blood.
"Doctor, any more plans? If we don't make a decision soon, this place might beco our burial ground," Even at the edge of desperation, Stussy still smiled, her face carrying a hint of mockery.
She was always the CP0 agent responsible for monitoring Vegapunk. After receiving the World Governnt's order to dispose of Vegapunk, without hesitation, she fled with Vegapunk.
But the World Governnt wasn't easy to deal with. Whether it was her or Vegapunk, the World Governnt had vivre cards on them, not to ntion it also raised a group of ability users capable of tracking.
Days of fleeing had nearly exhausted all their ans.
Even the ship they used to escape was destroyed before landing.
"Let think, let think...", Vegapunk, a short middle-aged man with an extrely large head, was sticking out his long big tongue, his facial expression stiff, but this was his thinking state.
"Plan A, build a ship at the fastest speed and escape. With Stussy's ability, it would only take three hours to build the ship."
"Plan B..."
"Final plan, contact Dragon, request his assistance. As long as I have enough materials, I can block the vivre cards and ability users from tracking us."
"Doctor, I suggest jumping directly to the final plan," Stussy tore up the white cloak, simply treating her wounds. In their current state, they couldn't afford any more delays.
Before any heavyweight showed up, they could still barely hold on.
Now that the Celestial Dragons' Heavens Hunt was over, their days would definitely beco even tougher.
"Then contact Dragon and the Elbaph," Vegapunk sighed.
It was a helpless choice.
Originally by his calculations, the World Governnt wouldn't move against him so soon. When the ti ca that they no longer needed him, he would have long been fully prepared.
But now, without any real preparation, not even having returned to his lab, the World Governnt ordered Stussy to dispose of him.
Fortunately, Stussy had been his person from the ti she joined the World Governnt; otherwise, there would have been no chance to escape.
"I'll contact them right away," Stussy was a woman of action. She imdiately pulled out a Den Den Mushi and contacted Dragon.
["This is Dragon."]
Dragon's steady voice ca through.
"This is Vegapunk. Mr. Dragon, we need your assistance. The World Governnt has issued a kill order against us," Vegapunk briefly explained the situation.
He was just a scientist, not a fighter.
Without enough materials and ti, he could do nothing.
If given twenty days, even if the World Governnt wanted to move against him, it wouldn't be so easy.
["Where are you? I'll co personally to assist right now,"] Dragon said in a deep voice.
Dragon clearly understood Vegapunk's value. For the Revolutionary Army now, he was a priceless treasure.
Vegapunk making this call ant he was willing to join the Revolutionary Army; this was undoubtedly the biggest boon for them.
"I'm on Alia Island in the North Blue."
["At most within two days, I can definitely reach you. Keep in contact at all tis,"] Dragon said decisively.
"Mr. Dragon, I'm afraid we can't wait for you," Stussy suddenly said.
["What happened?"]
Dragon didn't recognize Stussy but sensed the seriousness.
"The World Governnt's pursuers have arrived, and they brought quite the force. From the perception of Observation Haki, there are at least three people on that ship whose presence makes shudder," Stussy murmured, gazing at the ship that suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was a ship bearing the flags of the World Governnt and the Jaygarcia family; even just scanning it with Observation Haki caused her a stabbing pain in her spirit.
'Our end has arrived.'
["I'll rush over as fast as possible, you try to delay them. Also, don't hang up the Den Den Mushi, so I can monitor your situation at all tis,"] Dragon hurriedly said, then imdiately ended the Revolutionary Army eting he had just convened, and in a few seconds his figure appeared in the air, carried by a fierce wind rushing towards the North Blue.
"Doctor, we're probably done for this ti," Stussy smiled, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and tucked it into Vegapunk's oversized lab coat pocket.
"Stussy, buy so ti. Dragon, stop rushing to directly, record what I say," Vegapunk said solemnly.
["Okay!"]
After a long while, Dragon's voice ca again.
He floated in the air, holding paper and pen, his already gloomy face even darker.
Since Vegapunk said so, how could he not understand what it ant?
"First, the essence of the Devil Fruits that I have understood. In essence, the Devil Fruits...", Vegapunk began speaking endlessly about his research results, while in the distance, the ship continued slowly approaching.
But the people on the ship seed not in a hurry, as if certain they had him in the bag.
