Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"Dover, dozens more people are joining our family today."

A snotty-nosed, disheveled man spoke respectfully to the little boy sitting in the head seat.

Although the little boy was still young, he already looked somewhat like a demon.

A pair of brown eyeglasses concealed his eyes behind the lenses, making it impossible to discern his thoughts from his gaze.

Beside him was a little boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut, also wearing sunglasses.

However, for some reason, the little boy had a strange piece of bread stuck to his face.

The Don Quixote Family has been initially formed, and they will rise to power by stepping over the North Sea Mafia and ordinary people.

"Torrebol, we don't lack manpower right now, so there's no need to absorb so many people."

"Tell them that our Don Quixote family only needs five people out of these people, and only the strongest one is qualified to join our Don Quixote family."

Despite his young age, Doflamingo has already begun to demonstrate his high intelligence in scheming.

He understood what his goal was, and he also knew that Beihai was just a place for him to accumulate strength.

There's no need to leave too much territory here; he'll take the real core members with him.

Go to the Grand Line, to that place that humiliated him, and take revenge!

There are too many people; they're not of much use to Doflamingo.

He only needs true strongmen; the Don Quixote family will not accept useless people into their ranks.

"How much longer until we can move on to the next place?"

Doflamingo asked again.

He's now itching to manipulate the fate of the North Sea mafia.

Since his own fate was manipulated at will, and after suffering humiliation at the hands of Gorgon Marie, Doflamingo has become somewhat deranged.

"The family members are ready; they want to make a name for themselves in Beihai with us."

"Moreover, the Mafia in the next area explicitly rejected our Don Quixote family's proposal and decided to confront us."

Torrepol said, sniffling.

Upon hearing this answer, Doflamingo laughed, resting his right hand on his forehead.

"Fufufufufu, what a stupid bunch."

Doflamingo's heart has become twisted since he came to the North Sea from Gorgoma.

In fact, he didn't want to take over the next territory so easily; he preferred to watch his opponents die in despair.

(Just like in a game, when you're in a position to spawn camp, you don't like seeing the enemy surrender, so you want to lure them out and wipe them out.)

This is his greatest pleasure now, and also his greatest joy is rebuilding the Don Quixote family with his "family".

However, Doflamingo's dream had only just begun when it was already being eyed by a lion.

He had no idea how terrifying his opponent was.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

In a lush forest, a nimble, short-haired woman is moving swiftly through the trees.

Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her clothes were torn in several places by tree branches, making her look quite disheveled.

In front of a particularly tall tree, Bellemere stopped, cautiously scanned her surroundings, and then took out a rice ball from her pocket and began to eat.

The rice ball tasted bad; it had a slightly sour, spoiled smell.

Bellemere ate the last two rice balls and drank the spring water from the kettle before patting his belly contentedly.

From the day she sailed away in Steele's small boat, she embarked on a life of wandering.

After several days of effort, we finally arrived at branch number 133.

As she approached the shore, she sank the small boat into the sea and then swam to the shore.

This is also to minimize one's traces and avoid being exposed.

She didn't know where the CP9 people had followed her, but a small boat could never be as fast as a large ship.

So instead of escaping by small boat, she remembered something Raleigh had told her before he left.

If you encounter any problems in the East China Sea, you can seek help from Colonel Squirrel of Branch 133.

Bellemere didn't initially intend to find the flying squirrel during her escape, but she did see her arrest warrant during the process.

She knew that if she relied on her own strength, the only outcome would be that she would be captured by the CP9 organization.

Without the help of others, she would have no chance of escaping the organization under the World Government.

Among the people I know, Duncan has been temporarily suspended, and all the Navy personnel in Squadron 127 have been confined to the base to prepare for questioning.

Only Momonga and Raleigh are left, but Raleigh is not in the East Blue at the moment, and Momonga is the only one they can contact.

"Hello, is this Colonel Flying Squirrel from Branch 133?"

Bellemere calmly dialed the flying squirrel's number.

"I am Colonel Squirrel from the 133rd branch of the East Blue Army. May I ask how I can help you, ma'am?"

The flying squirrel, on its way back to base, received a strange phone call.

He was puzzled. His private phone number was usually only known to people in the Navy, so why would a stranger call?

Judging from the display on the Den Den Mushi, he didn't seem to recognize it either.

"I am Private First Class Bellmer from the 127th Branch of the East China Sea. This Den Den Mushi belongs to our branch's squad leader."

When Bellemere ran away that day, her captain gave her his Den Den Mushi.

"Oh, Bellemere, what's the matter?"

The World Government's arrest warrant has not yet been issued to various parts of the East China Sea, because it is not a respectable thing to do.

Therefore, many naval officers did not receive this arrest warrant.

Only member states of the World Government responsible for customs clearance and some organizations under the World Government received this arrest warrant.

"Colonel Momonga, I am currently wanted by CP9, an organization under the World Government, because of something concerning Commander Raleigh."

"Commander Raleigh said that if there's anything in the East China Sea that can't be resolved, come to Branch 133 to find you."

Bellemere did not make a scene after hearing silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

She simply looked calmly at the sky.

Actually, she didn't place all her hopes on the flying squirrel; she was a strong person.

Even if the flying squirrel doesn't decide to help her, she will try her best to protect herself and Raleigh.

If Bellemere were to be captured by CP9, she would definitely choose to commit suicide immediately.

Because among all the different kinds of people she had ever met, only in Raleigh did she see a scene of justice being served.

Therefore, in Bellemere's mind, Raleigh's life was far more important than her own.

(People in the One Piece world are strange; sometimes a single sentence can make someone agree with you and even give their life for what you once said.)

After the Povo Village incident, Bellemere saw Raleigh as the only person who could bring justice to the world.
