"Do you need me too?"

Nami's eyes widened in surprise as she stared intently at Baby5. Wasn't she deliberately trying to get close to Thoth?

Is she mentally ill and unable to distinguish between men and women?

Nami's eyes flickered with a subtle change, and a strange look appeared in her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, I need you to get things done quickly."

Baby5's eyes lit up, and with a bright smile, she reached into the "pocket" on her chest. But then, with a serious expression, she pulled out a sticky mess of debris. Her cell phone had been destroyed by the self-destructing missile.

She was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and ran to Buffalo's side, taking a telephone bug with a slightly charred shell from his wailing, terrified pocket.

She rushed towards Thoth, and this time, Nami did not stop her from approaching.

Upon reaching her, Baby5 looked at Totnami expectantly, and then...

After a series of operations, the call was connected.

"Baby5? It's you."

A deep, domineering yet cunning voice rang out:

"Why are you looking for me now? Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing Doflamingo's voice, a hint of panic flashed in Baby5's eyes.

After all, their mission failed!

But then, a slender hand took the telephone from hers. Thoth held the receiver, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Flamingo? Doflamingo."

Meanwhile, in the first half of the New World, in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Highland Castle.

Doflamingo had just finished dinner and returned to his room to prepare for the night's activities when he heard this unfamiliar voice and the somewhat familiar face that the Telephone Bug had immediately imitated.

Several veins bulged on his forehead like wriggling earthworms, and a terrifying murderous aura emanated from his eyes.

A feeling of unease arose.

"Weapon. Thoth?"

The name Thoth was slowly squeezed out of Doflamingo's mouth.

Thoth's eyes were calm. "It seems my fame has spread to the New World."

That's truly an overwhelming honor!

"Fufufufu!! You're still flattered?"

Doflamingo immediately sneered. During this time, he had gathered specific information about Thoth.

A rebellious brat.

However, she immediately changed the subject on the telephone bug: "baby5".

"Where are Rao G. and Buffalo?"

Baby5, standing next to Tote, bit her lip, as if having difficulty speaking:

"Rao G. and Buffalo have been killed by weapons, and I have been captured as well."

After speaking, Baby5 looked at Tote as if she felt guilty, and Tote nodded at her with a slight smile.

Baby5's face flushed instantly.

She stared at Tote with a shy expression.

Nami's forehead veins bulged as she watched.

Smoker, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye, sensing that something was amiss in how things were unfolding.

Could it be that Thoth actually possesses some kind of mind-controlling power?

"Tell me, do you want them dead or alive?"

Thoth spoke calmly at this moment, and Doflamingo fell silent. After a few seconds, his voice turned cold and threatening: "Are you threatening me?"

"You think you're so great?" Thoth sneered. "If you keep spouting nonsense, you can go collect their corpses."

There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and Doflamingo's face turned ferocious.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted uncontrollably in the room.

Thoth watched as the telephone bug's mimicry of the face grew ferocious, and calmly said:

"You only have one minute. Don't miss it."

A few seconds later, Doflamingo's cold voice came through the telephone:

What do you want?

"One person, 10 billion Berries, plus two Devil Fruits."

The Sea Kings opened their mouths wide, and Thoth's words enraged Doflamingo, who cursed them in anger:

"Are you looking to die?"

"Looks like the deal fell through. Well then, I'm sorry. Goodbye, Mr. Clown. Get ready to collect the corpses of your men!"

Thoth smiled and hung up the phone.

In a room at the Highland Castle.

Doflamingo was panting heavily, his gaze growing colder. If he weren't in such a hurry, he would have personally chopped up the weapon shreds into mincemeat and fed it to the fish.

However, at this moment, he realized that Rao and the others' lives were still in his hands.

……

"Do you need me to die? Would that make you happy?"

Baby5 stared at the phone after the call ended, kneeling on the ground, her gaze serene as she looked at Thoth, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"If this is what you need, then I am willing to die for you."

Nami frowned and looked down at Baby5, "If you die, you'll lose everything. Don't you have any opinions of your own?"

Are you really not afraid of dying?

Nami's words were filled with disappointment and frustration, and Baby5 looked up, a smile appearing in her eyes:

"You are a good person, but being unwanted is more painful than death."

Between death and being needed, I would rather die needing to be needed.

Nami's eye twitched. This girl's illness had penetrated to the bone marrow; she was beyond saving!

Bulubulubulu...

The phone rang, and Thoth smiled and answered it. At that moment, Doflamingo's voice, barely containing his anger, rang out:

"I cannot fulfill your conditions in the short term, but I can exchange three Devil Fruits for their lives."

This is my bottom line. If you refuse, then prepare to fight me to the death!!!

Seeing this, Thoth chuckled softly:

"So you can speak properly now? I thought you couldn't speak at all!"

Across from the Teletubbies, the air pressure around Doflamingo grew increasingly oppressive, like the calm before an impending storm.

"Don't push me, kid."

Thoth's gaze remained calm. Since the conflict was already irreconcilable, he didn't believe that Doflamingo would hold no grudge against him at all.

The only thing that could make Doflamingo temporarily put aside his hatred was that he couldn't beat him. One of the fundamental characteristics of this guy's personality is that he bullies the weak and fears the strong.

He is a shrewd businessman. No matter what the matter is, he has a scale in his heart. He will calculate the pros and cons and then stop the loss in time.

Even his so-called family.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Toth's lips:

"I appreciate that you can speak properly, but your current threats are making me very unhappy."

"Therefore, I have decided that with just two Devil Fruits, one of the three of them—Rao G, Buffalo, and Baby 5—must die to appease my anger."

Choose! Of the three of them, which two will live, and which will die?

Thoth's words were icy. Doflamingo across from him gasped, his pupils contracting slightly behind his sunglasses, and he erupted in fury in an instant:

"Do you really want to die, kid? Don't cross my line!!"

"No one has ever dared to provoke me like this and still be alive!"

Thoth moved the microphone away; it was just the impotent rage of a loser.

Just take his words with a grain of salt. How many times has Doflamingo compromised?

Stop patting yourself on the back.

Across from the Teletubbies, Doflamingo's expression was unpredictable.

Sometimes ferocious, sometimes ruthless.

The faces of Rao, G, and the other two appeared in his mind. As a cunning tycoon, he knew he couldn't relinquish the initiative to others.

Choice.

Finally, suppressing his anger, he spoke in an icy tone:

"Give the telephone bug to baby5."

A strange look flashed in Tote's eyes. At that moment, Baby5 spoke calmly:

"Young Master, I'm here."

On the other end, Doflamingo took a deep breath with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, his gaze had become incredibly cold.

Regardless of whether Toth is still playing tricks on him, and regardless of whether his decisions will be used to further manipulate him, but...

Baby5 has to be said to be a very useful woman. Her personality flaws make her someone who, even if she hurts herself, will still rush to do things whenever needed.

His lack of understanding of human nature led him to make a quick decision.

Rather than risk all three of them dying, he wanted to try and rescue two of the cadres' family members who were loyal to him.

“Baby5, you are the family I have raised since you were little. Now I have a request for you to do.”

Baby5's eyes were calm, and then her incredibly calm words came out:

"I know, thank you for taking care of me all these years. Although you killed off many of my suitors, I wish I could kill you."

But a debt of gratitude is a debt of gratitude, and I am willing to die for my family, for the sake of their lives.

"I'm glad you understand."

Doflamingo's words were icy, and then his voice, growing even colder, appeared again:

“Weapon imp, how do you want to trade Rao G and Buffalo with me?”

At this moment, Thoth glanced calmly at Baby5, who was sitting quietly on the ground without saying a word, and chuckled softly:

"As expected of you, you actually managed to make Baby5 willing to die for you."

I keep my word; I'll trade two Devil Fruits for the lives of those two idiots.

I'll dump them on a deserted island not far east of Loguetown.

As for the Devil Fruit deal, don't worry, you owe me, and I'll come back to collect it later.

Kacha! The telephone bug abruptly ended the call.

120. To feed a tiger with one's own body!

Anxiety, mixed with a complex emotion of self-sacrifice, lingered around me.

Inside, there's a complex emotion welling up—the feeling of being needed to die, isn't that the kind of liberation I long for?

At this moment, Thoth calmly looked at Baby5, whose eyes were vacant, and saw that this girl had been abandoned once again, even though it was a tragic ending she herself had brought upon herself:

"Your life was essentially traded to me by Doflamingo himself!"

You gave your life to ensure that Rao G and Buffalo wouldn't be killed by me.

And now, your life belongs to me.
