"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. As expected of the chief staff officer of this headquarters, you directly chose to divide your troops?"
On a deserted island in the North Sea, Doflamingo casually gnawed on Torrebol's freshly roasted beast meat. They had not been near any island with a town for a month.
Since the sneak attack on Imperialton, they have been hiding here and there.
When he's hungry, he catches fish or sea kings, and when he's thirsty, he goes to a desert island to replenish water resources. This feeling brings Doflamingo back to when he first established his family more than ten years ago.
Oh, no, even at that time, he had never experienced such a "humble" day.
"Dover, how long are we going to hide?"
Pika, who looked rough but had an extremely shrill voice, couldn't bear it. Since the founding of the Don Quixote family, when had he ever experienced such a savage life?
Even those low-level pirates lived a more comfortable life than them.
"Pica, be patient, Dover must be thinking of a solution already."
Diamanti comforted Pika. They believed in Doflamingo immensely. Even if he was a street rat now, Diamanti never thought that Doflamingo would give up.
"Hey, Diamante, what Pica said is right, we can't wait any longer."
A wicked smile appeared on Doflamingo's lips. He glanced at the calm sea in the distance, but an angry sea rose in his heart.
"I already know how Staff He tracks us. Now, let's rendezvous with the Flamingo and collect some debt from the Navy first!"
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. Doflamingo didn't have much else, but he really made a lot of money.
After this month of hard work, Doflamingo finally found the reason why he had been bitten by the crane in the black market.
Big news, Morgans!
Through Bailey knocking on the door, Morgans admitted that he was the one who passed Doflamingo's information to the Navy. After all, compared to the Navy headquarters, Doflamingo's weight is really insignificant.
Although he was extremely angry at Morgans, Doflamingo still endured his anger and used Bailey to build a relationship with Morgans.
In the next period of time, Morgans will deliver false information and guide the warships pursuing the Flamingo to a sea of death.
At the same time, Doflamingo will also lead people to encircle and suppress Commander Crane's men who are chasing the Flamingo.
Morgans has spotted this big news. Whether it is the Navy Supernova group defeating the lawless pirate, or Doflamingo killing the Navy Supernova, it is a good selling point.
Yes, the ones chasing Doflamingo were none other than Luffy and Nami.
He needs this kind of selling point so much now, because the news agency of the New World Government has already overwhelmed him so much that he can hardly breathe.
It is precisely because of this selling point that Morgans agreed to Doflamingo's request for "cooperation".
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, Doflamingo did not even tell the three of them before Morgans nodded in agreement.
However, now that Morgans is an "ally", there is no need to hide Torrebol and the others.
"Unexpectedly, it was Newsbird who betrayed us!"
Torebol was extremely shocked, because no one would pay attention to the newsbirds flying in the sky. Who would have thought that Morgans would cooperate with the navy to deal with them.
"Dover, Dover, do I really want to take action against that navy? Looking at Morgans' report, it seems that the navy headquarters values them quite a bit."
Torebol leaned close to Doflamingo's ear. His voice was loud, but both Diamanti and Pica could hear the lack of confidence in his voice.
Just like Doflamingo is their core, according to Morgans' description, Luffy and the others are already the backbone of the new generation of the Navy Headquarters.
After all, the grandson of a naval hero and the son of the leader of the New World Government, Luffy's every word and deed affects the future direction of the sea.
If Luffy was killed, it would be like killing Doflamingo in front of them. What consequences it would have would be really unpredictable.
"Hey, don't worry, I won't kill those brats, but I will cripple them!"
The smile on Doflamingo's lips did not disappear. He certainly knew that if he killed Luffy and the others directly, the Marine Headquarters would be furious, and even the general might take action.
However, in order to give the Navy a blow, it is not necessary to kill the Navy's Supernova.
Letting the mental world of those brats collapse is also a good choice, isn't it?
A group of brats who rely on their identities and special abilities to sail the sea wantonly. How have they ever seen real pirates?
Even though Luffy and the others had defeated the Four Emperors, Doflamingo didn't care at all. After all, he didn't think that a few brats could defeat the Four Emperors that he was afraid of. In his opinion, it was the Navy and the Revolutionary Army that were building momentum for them. That’s all!
······
······
In the storm, a small warship was heading towards a certain sea area through the wind and waves.
On the deck, Ace ignored the rain hitting him. He stared at the dim sky in front of him indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
"Ace, be careful of catching a cold."
Iska walked over, put her raincoat on Ace's body, and then waited aside.
"Where are Luffy and Nami?"
Ace's voice was so steady that even the lightning and thunder in the sky could not cover it up.
"Luffy is at the helm, and Nami is looking at the chart."
There was a trace of doubt in Iska's expression, "Why did you ask all the soldiers on the warship to disembark? Aren't we about to catch up with the enemy? Without soldiers, we alone can't catch all those pirates. Bar."
Sabo, who was standing next to Ace, chuckled and said, "Iska, you don't think that our arrest operation will go smoothly."
"There is a high probability that there is something wrong with our intelligence source. Now, we are moving towards the enemy's trap."
One day ago, Newsbird sent information to Sabo and the others as usual, but Sabo keenly discovered something was wrong.
In the past month, the Flamingo has been wandering aimlessly in the sea. It may be here today and in another direction tomorrow, which also makes the pursuit much more difficult.
However, since a week ago, Saab discovered that the Flamingo seemed to have found its target and had been heading towards a certain "death sea" in the North Sea.
Although the information provided by Newsbird did not mention the "Sea of Death" at all, Sabo and the others had never let go of their vigilance against Doflamingo, so they were able to discover the fishiness in it.
After talking to Lieutenant General He on the phone, Sabo was convinced that Morgans had rebelled!
In other words, Morgans has never been on their side, he is just a worldworm who will give up everything for big news.
"Eh? Then why do we have to fall into the enemy's trap?"
Hearing Sabo's analysis, Iska opened her mouth wide and her eyes were filled with astonishment.
Now that we know the enemy's trap, we should mobilize our troops to counter the encirclement.
Sabo and Ace both shook their heads. If it had been before, they could have mobilized large forces to encircle and suppress Doflamingo, but Admiral Akainu only made such a big noise in the North Sea. If the navy searched for Doflamingo with great fanfare, , will only cause uneasiness and resistance among the people of Beihai and the royal family.
So after some discussion, Ace placed all the soldiers on the ship on a safe island, and then the six of them went alone to meet Doflamingo.
As for Lieutenant General He, she will lead her people to the [Sea of Death] to join Sabo and the others.
Lieutenant General He didn't think Luffy and the others would be in any danger, she was just worried that Luffy and the others might let some of Doflamingo's men go.
"So that's it."
Iska nodded clearly. She really didn't know these things. Maybe Nami and Kirla had guessed some clues, but Luffy was definitely acting stupidly and following Sabo's instructions.
In this way, with both sides planning, Luffy and others arrived at the "Sea of Death" on the morning of the third day. There are many reefs here and there are so many dangerous marine life. Ordinary people can't even survive here for a day!
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa, our guest is here."
A huge pirate ship was docked quietly on a quiet sea. Doflamingo, holding a fishing rod, showed an evil smile. He stood up while looking at the seagull flag slowly emerging in the distance.
The cadres of the Don Quixote family who had been waiting here for several days were already impatient and wanted to see the expression of the Navy Supernova crying in despair.
"Let's say hello first."
Throwing away the fishing rod in his hand, Doflamingo opened his arms wantonly and wildly, and the purple-black domineering aura swept away, covering the warship approaching them in an instant.
"It's just a look of dominance. There's nothing to be arrogant about."
Just when Doflamingo wanted to take a look at the "tragic situation" on the warship, a blue-gold stream of light rose into the sky, and then dispersed Doflamingo's overbearing look.
That's Luffy's overlord color!
"Is it really true that overlord colors are rare?"
Ace, who was standing on the bow, raised one hand with one hand, and brilliant flames enveloped the surface of his body, with a confident smile on his lips.
"If you really want to say hello, you have to come here!"
"Fire Dragon King!"
The roaring fire dragon rushed towards the Flamingo with dazzling red light. Doflamingo, who was standing on the deck, smiled unchanged. He raised his hand, and a series of silk threads covered with black armed domineering condensed into a ball, and then It turned into a long whip, as fast as a python, and directly had a head-on confrontation with Canglong!
Super hit whip!
As one of Doflamingo's best moves, the power of this move is no less powerful than an ordinary Lieutenant General's full blow.
Although Doflamingo doesn't have the Overlord Color, his Armament Color is still very strong. At least Ace's move, Fire Dragon King Doflamingo, was able to block it.
Of course, this means that Ace did not use all his strength. He also wanted to try to capture Doflamingo alive and send him to the Navy Headquarters for a public trial.
"Dover!"
Seeing that Dover's attack was only a 50-50 split with his opponent, the cadres and members of the Don Quixote family all showed a look of surprise.
After all, they knew Doflamingo's strength very well. Is the kid opposite him actually so powerful?
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa, you can [defeat] the white-bearded kid, you really can't underestimate it!"
Doflamingo's tone was full of sarcasm, as if he knew the secret behind Ace's defeat of Whitebeard, but he was still surprised in his heart.
He originally thought that the move just now was just superficial. After all, at Ace's age, unless he was also a natural monster, even if he had a top-notch Devil Fruit, he would be limited by his body and unable to fully develop its power. .
However, his super-strike whip, which was almost 80% powerful, was only tied with the opponent's random exploratory blow. This result was indeed beyond Doflamingo's expectations.
However, Doflamingo didn't have any worries. After all, this was a trap set by them. Whether it was the location or the people, his Don Quixote family had the advantage.
Even if Ace can fight no matter what, the one who comes out to hang out is still the power.
"Come, let's change the battlefield."
Doflamingo stretched out his hand, and invisible threads directly entangled the clouds in the sky, and then he flew into the sky easily as if he was a puppet controlled by someone.
Empty road!
"There are not many people with the ability to fly. For developing the Thread Fruit to this extent, I have to praise his talent, Doflamingo."
Iska looked at Doflamingo "floating" in the air, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Even she has not had the ability to fly until now. If she simply uses the Moon Step, not only will she not be as flexible as her opponents who can fly freely, but the Moon Step will also consume a lot of physical energy, so it can only be regarded as the lowest choice.
"Do you want to lure me away so you can attack the people on my ship? Doflamingo, how confident are you that you think you can take us down without even using your Haki?"
Ace glanced at Nami, who was standing next to Luffy, and Nami nodded naturally.
She raised her hand and aimed at Doflamingo, and then the endless storm gathered from her palm, and a terrifying tornado burst out.
"Tornado storm!"
This move may not be very useful in other scenarios. After all, it is easy to accidentally injure people with a large-scale move that does not distinguish between friend and foe.
But when clearing some rain clouds or thunderstorm clouds, this trick can work wonders!
The reason why Doflamingo can move freely in the sky is simply because there are many clouds above his head that he can hang on.
After defeating all these clouds, Doflamingo couldn't change the battlefield even if he wanted to.
Under the terrifying tornado, all the clouds wrapped around Doflamingo were defeated, and a cloudless sunny sky appeared directly above the entire Flamingo.
"This move is a bit interesting."
Doflamingo gritted his teeth. He did not expect that such a sophisticated trick he had developed could be easily cracked by the opponent. The tornado storm could be said to be the absolute nemesis of his air path.
Unless Doflamingo can withstand the entire storm, the fragile nature of natural clouds can blow it away even with a strong wind.
Without Yun, his Kong Dao would naturally be useless.
