The most courageous pirate hunter

On the comfortable, soft sofa, Moria occupied a spot all to himself. His enormous size was quite striking. He was looking at Mihawk, who was resting with his eyes closed, with a surprised expression, his short legs crossed.

"It was indeed unexpected."

Hancock crossed her arms, squeezing out her snow-white breasts. Her split cheongsam dress was almost up to her waist. She sat on the other sofa and spoke coldly.

"Doflamingo, how about you sell me the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

At the dining table not far away.

A clown was eating, wolfing down his food as if he hadn't eaten for days. His huge red nose was clearly visible even in the darkness. It was none other than Bucky Barnes, the King of the Clowns.

"Fufufu~"

"I wouldn't dare stand you up at this time, or I'd get beaten to death."

Doflamingo, holding a glass of red wine, merely glanced at Buggy.

If he dared to use a fake Flame-Flame Fruit at this time, it would be tantamount to deceiving everyone who came to Dressrosa. Not to mention the new generation that he couldn't afford to offend, even the old monsters who came to join the fun might easily kill him.

"Doflamingo, you don't mind my son participating in the competition, do you?"

Miss Bagin's purpose in coming to Dressrosa this time is very simple: to obtain the Flaming Fruit and treasure.

We're preparing to have Weevil participate in the competition.

"As long as you like it."

Doflamingo took a sip of red wine, then glanced at Mihawk and the others. If they encountered a strong opponent, he believed they would all step in.

Anyway, the situation was already out of his control.

Do what you have to do.

Boom! ! !

A bolt from the blue suddenly struck, causing Doflamingo and the others to look out the window. The fleeting aura was unexpectedly powerful.

"Looks like another monster has arrived."

"The long-lost user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"I had a fight with BIG MOM a while ago."

Not only Doflamingo and his group guessed who it was, but other people in Dressrosa, such as Lone Red, Devil's Heir, Sabo, Crocodile, and others, also looked up at the clear blue sky.

Some people guessed who it was, while others thought it was just normal thunder.

"We've arrived in Dressrosa."

"It has been confirmed that the Straw Hat Pirates are on the island."

"Let's put on some disguises, since there will probably be a lot of monsters fighting over the Flame-Flame Fruit."

A remote place.

Three figures emerged from the alternate dimension: Hody Jones, Mansherry, and Bruno. Both Hody Jones and Mansherry had accompanied Bruno to hunt down Nico Robin, the Devil Child, with the aim of obtaining the Flower-Flower Fruit.

The Straw Hat Pirates were just lucky.

They did not encounter the three of them before arriving in Dressrosa.

"Hahaha~"

"That's not necessary!"

Seeing Bruno's wariness, Hody Jones didn't take it to heart at all. If Guy Ramp saw him, he would definitely call him a terrible teammate.

Because his face is exactly the same as Burgess's.

"It's better to be careful, after all, we have countless enemies."

"The Navy and pirates have joined forces to eliminate us."

Bruno mentioned the Whole Cake Island incident, saying that he had called Guyram afterward to inquire about it, and was speechless at Burgess's recklessness. He added that if it weren't for the Boss's intervention, they probably wouldn't have met those two again.

"Disguise yourself first, and then do whatever you want when the BOSS and the others arrive."

Mansherry yawned, resting her head on Alpagachino's head.

"Cut~"

Seeing that the two had started to disguise themselves, Hody Jones did not insist on going his own way. He casually used his life to change his appearance, so that even acquaintances might not recognize him face to face.

"By the way, Boss, Burgess, and Guyram are all coming. Have Lucci and Tesoro said they're coming?"

"no!"

"We don't even know where those two guys are now?"

Mansherry shook her head.

Since they parted ways and left God's Island, those two guys have returned to the Golden City. However, I later heard from Tesoro that Lucci gave up the Pass-Pass Fruit.

As for the second Devil Fruit to choose from, there's no leader yet, so for now, we'll help Tesoro cause trouble for the Blackbeard Pirates and hunt down the Ton-Ton Fruit that Tesoro chose.

New world.

On a certain island, Tesoro and Lucci, who had been searching for the Blackbeard Pirates, were drinking in a pirate tavern, neither of them seeming to be in a good mood.

"Damn it, where did the Blackbeard Pirates go?"

Tezzolo slammed his hand on the table.

They found this place based on clues and known intelligence, but they didn't even see a trace of the Blackbeard Pirates. Those guys are too cautious; they don't deserve to be called Yonko (Emperors of the Sea).

"This can't go on. We might as well go to Dressrosa and see if we can find anything unexpected."

Lucci felt it was a waste of time.

Doflamingo's gladiator tournament, with the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit) as the prize, might attract many strong players and Devil Fruit users.

Who knows, there might be a Devil Fruit that you like.

So Lucci decided to try his luck.

Moreover, such a scene would certainly be filled with fights.

"Fine!"

Tesoro thought for a moment and decided not to put all his hopes on the Ton-Ton Fruit. The key was that the Blackbeard Pirates were too good at hiding. Did they know that he had his eye on them?

another side.

On the vast and magnificent sea.

A warship was speeding towards Dressrosa. Along the way, some pirate crews saw the dog-head flag fluttering in the wind and turned back without a second thought.

Despite Monkey D. Karp's current infamy.

But he couldn't withstand the opponent's powerful punches.

Of course, there were also some stubborn ones, but they sank to the bottom of the sea as soon as they went up, only making a splash.

"Vice Admiral Garp, would you like some afternoon tea?"

on the deck.

An adjutant walked up to Karp.

After leaving headquarters, he saw Vice Admiral Garp standing there looking at the sea, not knowing what he was looking at.

In the past, Vice Admiral Garp would have been full of energy when he went to sea, but now he was unusually quiet and taciturn, his dim eyes filled with sadness and loneliness, completely different from before.

"No need to disturb them."

Behind.

Borsalino sat under the parasol, gesturing to his adjutant not to disturb them.

This mission wasn't just about Garp; he was also on board, along with Magellan, who was in the cabin, but he seemed to be suffering from diarrhea and hadn't come out since boarding.

What is our mission this time?

Smoker, sitting opposite Borsalino, spoke up.

According to the original plan, the replacement of Green Bull as the new general would be chosen from among him, Momousagi, and Chaton. However, in the end, the Five Elders decided to let Magellan take the place.

Smoker had no objection to this.

After all, he was still a little bit away from becoming a general.

"To seize the Flame-Flame Fruit, and also to protect Dressrosa."

Borsalino offered Smoker a glass of juice, but Smoker, who was smoking, refused.

"Protect Dressrosa?"

Smoker frowned, indicating his incomprehension.

He understood that seizing the Flame-Flame Fruit could create a powerful admiral-level warrior, but could it protect Dressrosa? Wasn't that the kingdom of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

The Seven Warlords Agreement did not state that the Navy was required to protect the Seven Warlords.

"Doflamingo's identity is somewhat special."

"This was instructed by the Five Elders, and that guy paid a price."

Borsalino shrugged; he knew Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon status.
