One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 723: The Movement of the Don Quixote Family

Time flies. Since the last battle, time seems to have accelerated instantly. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. During this year, the entire sea seems to have fallen into calm. Obviously, this war was not known to much by outsiders, but it seemed that everyone felt the aftermath of the war and chose to stay quietly without causing any trouble. Regardless of whether it was the victorious Four Emperors or the losers, the Navy and the World Government, no one mentioned this matter at all and bowed their heads to lick their wounds.

After this strange calm lasted for a year, it gradually attracted the attention of other people, and these people were none other than speculators, such as the well-known local tyrant in the North Sea, the self-important former celestial dragon and celestial demon - Mr. Don Quixote Doflamingo!

At this moment, the Don Quixote family began its first large gathering since its establishment. According to Doflamingo's idea, they should not go to the New World so early, but should wait until the children they adopted grow up and can stand on their own before going there. But now, he simply can't bear it anymore. Not to mention that Shanks and Buggy, two guys who were regarded as thorns in the eyes of Doflamingo, are now doing well in the New World. Just the deaths of Diamante and Jorah in the past are unbearable for him.

That's right, Doflamingo is a guy with a very cold heart, otherwise he would not do such a thing as chopping off his own father's head and shouting at the door of Marijoa. But there is actually a warm spot in this coldness, and that warmth is these crew members whom he regards as family. If the "insults" (self-perceived) of Shanks and others were thorns in the flesh, then the deaths of Diamante and Jorah were thorns in their hearts. Doflamingo's ability to endure for a year was already his limit.

"Dover, Dover, are we really leaving now? Are we really not going to wait for a while?"

Trebol still spoke with some concern. After all, he could be said to be the steward of the entire Don Quixote family. He was very clear about the situation within the family. Now they were actually in a very embarrassing situation. Although some of the children who were recruited had passed the test, their strength was not enough to be promoted to the New World. They were all losers in the New World back then, and they had a deep understanding of the horror of the New World. Even if he had great confidence in Doflamingo, the New World could not be conquered by one person alone.

“Hiya, don’t worry, don’t worry, my dear Torrebol. I won’t be so reckless as to challenge the Four Emperors of the New World directly. I know we are still far behind in strength, but sometimes, in addition to strength, we can also rely on our brains. Don’t forget, what is my trump card.”

Doflamingo spoke seemingly calmly, but his voice revealed a bone-chilling coldness, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"So what's our plan, Dover?"

Torrebol asked, still a little worried.

"It's very simple, very simple. Do you remember what I said before? The Don Quixote family was actually the royal family of Dressrosa in the past, and the current Riku family of Dressrosa was actually a small noble family back then, and was not even worthy of being on the stage. What we need now is a chance to gain a foothold in the New World. Everything after that just requires us to take it step by step. As for those guys on Fishman Island, as long as we get to the New World and gain a foothold, we will have plenty of ways to kill them!"

Doflamingo spoke while moving his fingers rhythmically.

"But Dover, it is said that Dressrosa has a good relationship with the Beasts. If we go there rashly, it might cause dissatisfaction among the Beasts, right? That is the Four Emperors Pirate Group. I am afraid our current strength is not enough to deal with them, right?"

When Torrebol heard the plan, he pointed out what he thought was a loophole.

"That's right. If we don't have that thing, my plan is indeed a dead end. But don't forget that we have the Pixiu Fruit in our hands. Everyone knows that the beasts pursue the animal type, especially the mythical beast fruit, and this fruit is our stepping stone. We must use this fruit to knock on the door first, and then the rest will be easy. Those who can be kings in the New World are not short-sighted guys. They can see who can provide them with greater value. Isn't it easy to capture Dressrosa? Without the protection of the beasts, they have also provoked the World Government. Who can save them then?"

Doflamingo laughed cruelly, he seemed to have seen himself sitting on the throne of Dressrosa. Once he sat on that position, he thought that not only the Beasts, but also the World Government would treat him with courtesy. After all, he dealt with a troublemaker who refused to hand over the Heavenly Gold, and now he had to deal with another troublemaker who took the lead in withdrawing from the member states of the World Government. It should be no problem to ask the World Government for something.

"But can this plan really succeed? You know, our intelligence personnel haven't brought back any useful information from the New World so far. We don't know exactly how good the relationship between Dressrosa and the Beasts is. And it is said that the New World hates human trafficking. We have done this business before, and it is very likely that we will directly offend the forces of the New World. This is the most troublesome thing."

Trebol still spoke with great concern, and at the same time he began to miss Diamante and Vergo. If these two were around, they could help him persuade Doflamingo, but now he only had Sekhar and Corazon by his side, and these two people, one could not speak, and the other could not speak, neither of them was the type to persuade others.

"This is why I have abandoned human trafficking and reorganized the Don Quixote Family in the past few years. My goal is to clean myself up. Human trafficking? That was done by the Don Quixote Family in the past. What does it have to do with us? Of course, I know this won't fool smart people, but as long as we make a gesture, it's enough. After all, this world is still a business in the end. As long as our value is enough, there is nothing that cannot be changed. Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Doflamingo said again, and Trebol really had nothing to persuade at this moment. Doflamingo had already said this, what else could he say? He could only manage the situation within the family as much as possible, hoping that there would be no trouble. At this time, accompanied by the sound of pushing the door, a dark shadow appeared in the room. "Ah! My dear brother, my lovely Corazon, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the person who came in, Doflamingo smiled and said.

[Are we gathering together to head to a new world? 】

Rossinandi asked, holding up the notebook in his hand.

"That's right. We'll be leaving soon, 咈咈咈咈."

Doflamingo still trusts his younger brother very much, especially since Rosinante has been here for such a long time, he has fully proved that he will not be a traitor. Except for not liking children, he is still the same younger brother as before.

[Where to go? The tunnel may be difficult to get through, and we can’t make an appointment. ]

Rosinante raised the notebook again and said.

"Don't worry about that, my lovely brother. I have my own way. The tunnel is indeed difficult to pass through, but we can use another method, a faster method."

Doflamingo seemed to have remembered something happy at this moment and said excitedly.

【What is it? 】

Rocinante raised his notebook again, obviously ready to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Alright, alright. You are Corazon, and you are my brother. It doesn't hurt to tell you. We plan to go through the Calm Belt. That is our real route. Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!"

Doflamingo smiled happily, but Rosinante's pupils shrank at this moment. It was obvious that he found this fact hard to believe. He picked up the notebook and started writing again.

[This is dangerous! You can’t put yourself in danger! ]

"No, no, no, my dear brother. How could I risk all of our lives? Believe me, I have been prepared for this. I started preparing a year ago, and now it is finally done. Our ship is brand new. Waaaaaaaaaaa!"

Doflamingo stood up and looked out the window. At this moment, on the dock outside the window, three ships with the same color as flamingos were parked there quietly. They looked no different, yet very different.
