I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa is one of the member states of the World Government.

It is also the only country ruled and managed by Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In other words...

A nation whose king is recognized by the World Government.

And now, by the palace pool.

Doflamingo lay listlessly on the recliner, his hand dangling beside him, still holding the Den Den Mushi he had just used to end the call with Vergo.

"Fufu...fufufufufufu!"

Suddenly, Doflamingo put his hand to his face and burst into laughter.

But as Doflamingo laughed, a faint, black lightning-like presence suddenly appeared all around.

But immediately...

The laughter stopped abruptly. Doflamingo sat up, his face extremely pale, with veins bulging.

His gaze swept over the newspaper on the table next to him, the one that reported Kaido's death.

Below this newspaper was a news article from a few days ago, the one with the news that Hanafuda and Jack had been killed.

The corner of the newspaper that was visible was exactly where Su An's photo was.

But the next moment...

Swish!

With a slight twitch of Doflamingo's finger, Su An's photograph instantly shattered into pieces.

As Doflamingo watched the countless fragments fall, the anger on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

And then his five fingers snapped shut!

Wow!

Everything around Doflamingo, including the tables, chairs, and flowerpots, was completely sliced ​​apart in that instant.

Dust and fog filled the sky.

Doflamingo remained seated in his chair, one hand dangling on his knee, the other supporting his forehead, his angry expression showing no sign of abating.

"Su An..."

"The Navy really had something up its sleeve! There's such a monster in the military."

"Fu~~Fufufufu~~"

Wow!

Just as Doflamingo was muttering to himself here, he merely glanced up at the swimming pool in front of him.

The entire pool suddenly seemed to be cut in two by something, breaking apart in an instant. The water in the pool was briefly divided into two halves, but they merged again in an instant.

"Dover..."

A tall man with a fur-brimmed hat and two facial lines stood at the doorway, looking at Doflamingo who was currently shrouded in dust and mist, and spoke softly.

"Diamante." Doflamingo glanced at one of his top lieutenants.

Diamanti wasn't entirely aware of Doflamingo's annoyance, but he asked, "Should we cancel the King's Speech that's scheduled for Carnival?"

Doflamingo's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Diamante and asked, "Diamante, what do you think the Navy... is actually going to do?"

Diamanti stepped forward: "What happened to Vergo?"

Doflamingo looked down at the eye area in the fragment of Suan's photo: "Vergo might have been discovered by that Suan."

Diamanti looked surprised.

Doflamingo was accompanied by a few people when he was young, including Vergo. However, in order to have his own people in the Navy, Vergo was sent to infiltrate the Navy as an undercover agent.

But the problem is...

He's been fine all these years because Vergo is extremely cautious and meticulous in his work, but now he's being suspected?

It was discovered by the monster Marine who killed Kaido.

Doflamingo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I miscalculated. I completely miscalculated starting with Hanafuda and Jack! Originally, I planned to notify the Navy to turn the smuggling route I was going to abandon into a trade route with the World Government's name, thereby expanding the smuggling route. Anyway, those useless officials of the World Government are fine as long as they are paid enough."

"But Jack and Hanafuda just happened to choose that time and place for their transaction, and then they ran into Zephyr..."

At this point, Doflamingo's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "And there's that Suan, who inexplicably killed Hanafuda and Jack."

"The Navy has produced a new hero! He's nothing special here, like that monster—the world is full of them, after all, they're just Hanafuda and Jack. But... Diamante, I'm wondering, did that old man Sengoku deliberately release a monster?"

"!" Diamanti's expression froze. "What do you mean?"

Doflamingo stared at Su An's eyes on the shard of paper: "Could they have been investigating Hanafuda from the beginning? After all, Hanafuda has made no attempt to conceal what he's done over the years, and the World Government and the Navy have long been dissatisfied with him!"

"Killing Hanafuda was a show for Kaido, which is why Suan was specifically added to that academy! After all, Garp personally brought him to Marine Headquarters, how could no one know his strength! Especially since the information I received indicates that that monster has already demonstrated his strength at Marine Headquarters!"

"Throwing such a monster into the naval academy is like trying to cover something up, especially since he killed Hanafuda and Jack as soon as he made his move."

"And immediately after killing Hanafuda and Jack, he was expelled from school. There were so many branch bases to choose from, but he chose the G5 branch."

Diamanti listened to his young master's words, his face thoughtful, and then said, "You mean, the Navy originally planned to take action against Kaido? And Hanafuda's death wasn't accidental, but rather they knew about it beforehand?"

Doflamingo looked up at Diamante: "I'm not sure."

He continued, "But I'm afraid they really are like that, because if they are, it means killing Kaido is also part of the Navy's plan. But if that's the case... Diamante, old buddy!"

Diamante stared intently at Doflamingo with a serious expression.

Doflamingo's face contorted with madness: "If the Navy really did deliberately release that terrifyingly strong monster into the New World, then it means... Morgans's first report on Su An wasn't just sensationalist nonsense, but the truth!"

"The Navy...is planning a complete war against all pirates! Fufufufu! Sengoku really has guts to have someone capable of killing Kaido, especially since this was clearly done behind the World Government's back!"

"Otherwise, how could Sengoku not know what would happen to the world after killing Kaido? He personally witnessed the rise of the Great Pirate Era. After decades of turmoil, the world has finally achieved a balance, a situation that the Five Elders of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons have been striving to maintain. And yet, he's actually going to do it!"

Diamante frowned as he listened to Doflamingo's clearly incoherent words. "I didn't understand what you meant, Doflamingo, but... you mean Sengoku... that is, the Navy, planned everything to kill Kaido?"
