The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Dressrosa was merely the starting point of his entire plan, and not worth his excessive attention.

If he hadn't wanted the complete Dressrosa, he would have stormed the palace on the very first day and taken over the entire kingdom.

"Prepare for action!"

Sensing a familiar presence approaching from afar, Doflamingo issued the order to act.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other family members immediately stopped talking, picked up their weapons, and went into battle ready.

Squeak!!

The side gate of the palace, not far away, slowly opened.

The moment the side door opened, Doflamingo gently flicked the almost transparent threads in front of him.

Like a chain reaction, the spiderweb-like threads shimmered with a silvery glow under the bright moonlight.

It's unclear when it started, but countless threads have appeared around the side gate.

These threads moved subtly as Doflamingo gently plucked them.

Stab it!

The silk threads intertwined, and the bright red blood bloomed as brilliantly as a flower.

Ten beautiful blood-red flowers bloomed at the same time, and the sound of them falling to the ground rang out almost simultaneously.

The ten guards who had just been holding their posts were now lying in pools of blood.

"Let's go!"

After Doflamingo finished doing all this, he retracted the threads and took the lead towards the palace.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't look as relaxed as he had appeared earlier.

For some reason, he always felt that the sensation of the silk thread cutting the human body was slightly different from before.

Upon closer inspection, however, the guards were indeed dead, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Compared to Doflamingo, the other family members had much simpler ideas.

With their young master's invincible strength, it was only natural that he could kill ten guards in an instant.

Soon, Doflamingo and his group entered the palace.

Behind the open door, Monet was waiting.

"Young Master, the road to the palace is now clear."

"Well done!"

Doflamingo nodded in satisfaction and, together with Monet and the rest of his family, headed towards the central palace.

Upon entering the palace, there was a garden, which was next to Scarlett's Palace and also the side gate through which she usually entered and exited the palace.

To reach the highest point of King Riku's palace, one must traverse a path through the garden.

As Doflamingo and his group passed through the path, it seemed no one noticed that Scarlett was sitting in a pavilion beside the path, smiling as she watched Doflamingo and his companions walk away.

Today, Scarlett wore a blood-red dress, bathed in the bright moonlight, making her exceptionally dazzling and exuding an unusual, cool aura. She was like a queen of the night, breathtakingly beautiful.

From her perspective, the 10 guards at the side gate were still standing there, while the main gate was wide open.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

Scarlett watched Doflamingo and the others walk a distance before casually standing up and lagging behind them.

Today is her family matter, and she doesn't want too many people involved.

With the current power of Doflamingo and his group, they cannot cause him any trouble whatsoever.

Doflamingo is only somewhat worthy of attention, but given his level of Haki, he can't even break her Devil Fruit, let alone become her enemy.

Scarlett was in a good mood. She was like a little princess playing in a garden at night. Her eyes were like bright crescent moons, and she hummed a little tune as she walked briskly forward, leaving a string of clear laughter echoing in the night.

The group walked inside the palace, which should have been heavily guarded at night, but was now as silent as death.

There were no patrols, no inspections, and no defense.

Scattered guards dressed in royal guard uniforms stood frozen in the snow on both sides of the road, as if they would never wake up.

Walking through the quiet palace, Buffalo and other ordinary family members often cast awe-inspiring glances at Monet.

Dressrosa is a country in the New World, and the ordinary guards here are no weaker than them, let alone the royal guards.

Monet has now dealt with all the palace guards without anyone noticing, a feat that commands their respect.

"Fufufufufufu, Monet, you did a great job, but it's too quiet."

Doflamingo, who was walking ahead, suddenly laughed and looked towards the tower at the end of the road, where King Riku lived.

"Did I attract his attention? Young Master, it was my oversight."

Monet realized something and offered a casual apology.

"Fufufufufufu, no need to apologize, you've already done a great job. It might have attracted that person's attention, but now that we're in, it's all in vain. Even if the navy gets here, it will take at least a day, enough time for us to take control of Dressrosa."

Doflamingo laughed loudly as he forcefully pushed open the tower's doors.

Chapter 292 The Clown and the Puppet Under the Director

Squeak!

As the tower's doors were pushed open, a vast palace came into view of Doflamingo and his party.

The interior of the main hall, which should have been quiet and deserted at night, was now quite lively.

King Riku sat on the innermost throne, staring intently at Doflamingo and his group as they pushed open the door, his eyes filled with inexplicable sorrow.

On either side of him were political and military officials who had served Dressrosa for many years; they were all confidants of King Riku.

Below them stood two rows of palace guards, all watching Doflamingo warily as he entered.

As the white-haired and white-bearded official Fudro entered the palace, he shouted sternly:

"Who are you? Guards, seize them."

"Hey, don't move around too much! Speaking of which, I have a history with Dressrosa!"

As Doflamingo finished speaking, the guards who were about to make a move stopped in their tracks.

"I can't move!"

"My lord... I can't move!"

"Damn sinner!"

"..."

The guards suddenly felt as if their bodies were bound, and their fear was palpable.

"Humph!"

Military officer Pierre stood up and instantly appeared between Doflamingo and the guards.

A gust of wind accompanied his rapidly spinning leg movement, slashing towards Doflamingo.

"Storm Kick? You're from the Navy?"

Doflamingo looked at Pierre with great interest, while the leg gust that shot towards him vanished without a trace halfway through its trajectory.

"Pirates, you are not welcome in Dressrosa."

Pierre spoke coldly, but his eyes, when he looked at Doflamingo, also held a hint of wariness.

He was a lieutenant commander in the navy and returned to his homeland to serve after retiring.

After just one exchange, he already knew very well that his strength was inferior to his opponent's.

"Fufufufu, whether you welcome me or not is not up to you. King Riku, have you ever heard of the name Don Quixote?"

Doflamingo swaggered toward King Riku, as if the palace were his own domain, and he was the most dazzling person there.

"Don Quixote... are you someone sent by His Highness?"

King Riku frowned slightly. He had never liked Luther much before, but for the safety of Dressrosa, he allowed Luther to have contact with his two daughters.

Now, Scarlett has been completely changed by the other party, which makes him hate Luther even more.

"Ha, I have nothing to do with that bastard!"

King Riku's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw Doflamingo's teeth-gritting expression when he mentioned Luther.

If it has nothing to do with Luther, and I don't even like Luther, why bring up the name Don Quixote?

On the high seas today, the name Don Quixote is inextricably linked with Luther.

Moreover, as far as he knew, there weren't many other members of Don Quixote's family, and the person before him...

As King Riku pondered, a recent news story suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but speak:

"You're Doflamingo? That outcast who was kicked out of Sabaody Archipelago by CP0?!"

"I abandoned them!!!"

A surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Doflamingo's body, spreading outwards without restraint.

His sharp eyes were fixed on King Riku, his anger almost overflowing.

King Riku's words had undoubtedly stirred something within him.

Abandoned by Don Quixote, treated like trash by Barrett, and chased away like a dog in the Sabaody Archipelago...

He has never forgotten anything from the past.

"Alright, so what brings you to Dressrosa this time?"

King Riku didn't want to argue with a madman; he just wanted to figure out what the other man wanted.

He summoned the political and military officials today to discuss how to deal with Scarlett's increasingly aggressive attitude.

He had always known that Scarlett would find out about what he had done today, and that some people would try to sabotage things.

However, he was tired of the covert struggle with Scarlett. Rather than continuing to fight in the shadows, he preferred to put everything in the open.

No matter what, they are still biological father and daughter.
