The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

This seat was destined to be hers from the moment she was born.

She doesn't need to fight for it, and no one else can take it away from her.

But that was her as the Princess of Dressrosa, not as Luther's greatest masterpiece.

From the very first meeting, she was no longer the innocent princess she once was.

Luther personally led her into a completely new world, and she grew up on the path he had planned.

He studied diligently, participated in various events, worked hard to improve himself, ate the Illusion Fruit, and actively participated in the bloodline factor experiment.

Countless experiences have shaped her into the completely new person she is today.

“You’ve grown up, Scarlett!”

King Riku looked up at Scarlett, offering no words of defeat nor attempting any argument.

She simply looked at him with a look of satisfaction, just as Scarlett had when she learned something new as a child.

One party always has to compromise. He is not as good as his daughter, so he is the only one who can compromise.

More than arguing, he wanted to see how his daughter would lead their kingdom forward.

Is it a smooth road, or a path to destruction?

In any case, he was mentally prepared.

No matter what, Scarlett is his daughter...

"Father, thank you for your approval!"

Scarlett looked at her father and instantly understood what he was thinking, a smile appearing on her lips.

Although she would never fight King Riku, she was prepared for him not to understand her and even for him to be imprisoned.

The current situation is the best outcome she had envisioned.

Chapter 294 I'll remember this grudge!

The next day.

The sun rises as usual in Dressrosa.

A dilapidated flamingo pirate ship slowly sailed away from Dressrosa.

Doflamingo stood at the bow of the ship, his right hand resting on the wound on his chest from the previous night, staring at Dressrosa with a somber expression.

Here, he experienced the biggest failure of his life once again.

They were even made fools of like clowns.

"Luther...you've made a fool of me, ha, and you still want to fool me...no way! It won't happen again! You'll regret this one day!"

Doflamingo's eyes were filled with endless hatred as he muttered to himself.

"Young...Young Master, what should we do with this?"

Buffalo asked cautiously, his face contorted with worry.

In his hands, he held a beautifully crafted toy box.

If he weren't the lowest-ranking member of the family, he wouldn't want to offend Doflamingo at this time.

Doflamingo inexplicably decided to leave Dressrosa, and then received this so-called farewell gift from Dressrosa, which doesn't seem like a good thing at all.

"Fufufufufufu! What to do... If it's a toy, of course, destroy it!"

Doflamingo stared at the toy box, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly suppressing his anger.

After being fooled, he was caught, then released by Scarlett with a mocking look on her face, and finally she even gave him a toy box.

Every action he took trampled on his dignity.

How could he possibly tolerate such blatant treatment of him as a toy?

Giving him toys is just treating him like a clown.

This is no gift, it's an insult!

"Sizzle!!!"

In a fit of rage, Doflamingo pushed the power of the String-String Fruit to its limit.

The threads surged out like a flood, and in the blink of an eye, they tightly wrapped the toy box.

Immediately afterwards, Doflamingo swiftly manipulated the threads, shredding the toy box.

However, the toy box reacted in a way that surprised him; it did not disintegrate into parts as expected.

Instead, bright red blood flowed from the gaps in the silk threads.

The scene before him stunned Doflamingo.

It wasn't the gushing blood that surprised him, but rather the sudden flood of memories that appeared in his mind in the blink of an eye.

It turns out that he did have a number of top-ranking officials under him.

Before coming to Dressrosa, he had all four of his top executives.

'Club' Torrepol, 'Spades' Pica, 'Diamonds' Diamanti, 'Hearts' Vergo...

The four were the first to follow him and the four who made him their king.

Although they were slightly lacking in ability, Doflamingo was a sentimental person and never thought of replacing them.

"Damn it... why did I forget about them..."

Doflamingo gritted his teeth, hating Luther and the others to the core.

He couldn't possibly not understand; it could only be the other party who did it.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his already furious eyes took on a hint of madness when he saw the blood near the toy box.

There is nothing more humiliating than killing your four most trusted aides with your own hands.

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

Just as Doflamingo was about to lose his mind, his personal Den Den Mushi rang.

"Who?"

After answering the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's tone was clearly displeased.

"I am Absalom!"

But when he heard the voice on the other end and saw the change in the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's expression changed instantly.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, as if all his previous anger and madness had vanished.

The family members around him looked at Doflamingo strangely, but they all knew that he was unpredictable and just kept their complicated thoughts to themselves.

"Fufufufu, it's you. What brings you here?"

“I received intelligence that you were driven out of Dressrosa by Sakalette,” Absalom’s calm voice rang out.

"Fufufufu, we chose to leave on our own. Dressrosa isn't right for us, we weren't kicked out," Doflamingo said with a smile.

"Come on, Scarlett is a commander under that prince, not someone you can deal with."

Absalom ruthlessly exposed Doflamingo's disguise.

"Commander... how much do you know?"

Doflamingo narrowed his eyes, sensing a different meaning.

He didn't say anything stupid like that the other party hadn't reminded him, and that being made a fool of by Scarlett proved that the two sides were not even on the same level.

Absalom, or Moria behind him, clearly meant to make him suffer a bit before coming after him, so that he could be easily subdued.

Having come to terms with the facts, he no longer held any hope of revenge through his own growth. He would gladly welcome the opportunity to borrow Moria's power.

"That prince's influence extends across the seas. According to the intelligence that Lord Moria obtained from the World Government, that prince's subordinates are divided into three levels: Skyblade, Commander, and Subordinate Officer."

Is the commander-in-chief the second rank?

Doflamingo frowned slightly and asked the question he most wanted to ask.

“That’s right. The Skyblade is an Admiral-level fighter, and Lord Moria suffered a minor loss at their hands. The Commander is the manager of that prince’s subordinate forces, and his strength is no less than that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea,” Moria explained.

"Not weaker than the Seven Warlords of the Sea...?"

Doflamingo grinned; he was no stranger to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

According to his plan, after taking Dressrosa, he would plan to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so he knew quite a bit about the organization's strength.

Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the strongest is undoubtedly 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, who possesses strength nearly equivalent to that of an Admiral.

In his view, Scarlett, who had previously manipulated him, must be of similar strength to Mihawk, otherwise she wouldn't have become Luther's representative in the New World.

In his eyes, Scarlett was already Luther's strongest subordinate in the New World.

He could barely accept losing to such a person.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Doflamingo brought it up himself, realizing that he was a loser in the other's eyes at that moment.

Since our situation has already been exposed, we might as well be more decisive.

The key is to seize the opportunity while his four top officials and Monet's defection are still under wraps and to reap more benefits.

"Joining the Moria Pirates is Lord Moria's will," Absalom said calmly.

"Fufufufu, your family really thinks highly of me."

Doflamingo laughed heartily, feeling somewhat honored by Moria's invitation.

“You have good potential and are qualified to become a subordinate of Lord Moria. You should understand that wandering around the New World like a headless fly will only waste your talent. You still don’t understand what you lack compared to those top experts.”

"So, you're saying I can easily get all of this after joining the Moria Pirates?"

Doflamingo grinned slightly; he didn't believe Moria was a good person.

“Of course not, enough merit will get you what you want,” Absalom said calmly.

"That's fair, I accept it!"
