"You...you all..."

Doflamingo's face was gloomy and ugly, his gaze sharp and cold as if a hidden blade were present.

But after witnessing the Conqueror's Haki emanating from Luffy and Ace, he had to suppress his arrogance and turn his gaze to the man protected by the two kings.

"How do you know all this!?"

Ignoring Bellamy and Sakiz, who were both dumbfounded beside him, Doflamingo immediately asked Red.

With a slight upturn of his crimson lips and a calm expression, he said, "Don't be so nervous, Doflamingo."

"A secret remains a secret precisely because it will eventually be revealed."

"We also have our own means of obtaining intelligence."

Crimson extended her finger and tapped it twice, a gentle smile on her lips indicating that she meant no harm.

Then he spoke again:

"Doflamingo, I don't want to use this secret to threaten you. I just want to tell you that we are not enemies!"

"And I hope you will take this conversation seriously."

"After all, you know... time is really running out."

"Cooperation leads to win-win results!"

Under the crimson voice, Doflamingo slowly suppressed the shock and anger in his heart.

Although he still didn't understand what Crimson meant by "win-win," when he raised his head again, his demeanor and aura had transformed back into that of the underground king who ruled the underworld.

"Fufufufu~"

"This game is really getting more and more complicated."

The next moment, Doflamingo leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze sweeping over the three men, then he said in a grim tone:

"You want to know about the Whitebeard Pirates' current situation, right?"

"Since you don't seem to be completely clueless, I'll get straight to the point."

"The Navy has decided to launch a full-scale operation to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates in the near future."

"According to the intelligence I've obtained, as of now, the Navy has captured one division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as six pirate crews under Whitebeard's command..."

"As for Whitebeard's territory in the New World, it seems that the Navy has already occupied a significant portion of it."

"And this number is still increasing!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Ace instantly stood up restlessly, clenching his fists and burning with rage in his eyes.

"Calm down, Ace!" Seeing this, Crimson immediately reached out and patted him on the back. "Isn't this something we expected?!"

In the original timeline, Blackbeard was able to completely seize Whitebeard's territory within two years of the Marineford War, thus securing his position as one of the Four Emperors...

This is enough to show that this guy had a well-thought-out plan a long time ago.

Now, he has simply given this plan, or a part of it, to the Navy.

Given the Navy's manpower and operational capabilities, they can complete the operation to wipe out the forces under the Whitebeard Pirates even more quickly.

"Cutting off the hands, feet, ears, and eyes first, and then eliminating the head, is indeed a good idea."

Crimson fell into deep thought.

In fact, he hadn't expected Blackbeard and the Navy's coordinated operation to be so swift.

After all, less than a month has passed since the Straw Hat crew defeated Blackbeard.

And all of this is telling us...

"It seems the navy is truly determined to win this time."

After muttering to himself, Crimson realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ace, having learned of the Whitebeard Pirates' situation, was trembling uncontrollably.

It was as if he would suddenly burst out the door at any moment and rush to the New World to tell Whitebeard all of this.

"Ace, don't forget what you promised me!"

"You absolutely must not act impulsively at this time."

"Trust your comrades, trust Whitebeard..."

"They are not so easily defeated."

"We just need to proceed with our plan step by step."

"........."

Ace's body temperature rose rapidly due to his heightened emotions.

However, after a moment, he slowly loosened his clenched fist and let out a long sigh:

"You're right, crimson!"

"Now is not the time to panic!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace plopped back down in his seat, his anger still building, and a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

"........."

Watching the interaction between Crimson and Ace, Doflamingo's eyes, hidden behind his bright red glasses, flickered a few times.

"Something's not right," he thought to himself. "The dignified second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates is now being ordered around by some nobody..."

"And the Conqueror's Haki that Straw Hat kid just released..."

"This group is more mysterious than I imagined."

Let's get straight to the point!

Just then, Crimson refocused his gaze on Doflamingo, and then, under Doflamingo's surprised gaze, said mysteriously:

"Doflamingo, you must hate the Celestial Dragons a lot, right?"

"You really want to see those high and mighty guys get dragged down from their pedestals, don't you?"

"You really know a lot..." Doflamingo didn't give a direct answer, but he had already revealed the answer.

Chi Hong grinned: "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would you be interested in planning a live-streamed event to publicly execute a Celestial Dragon?"

Clang~

The gleaming metal tray suddenly crashed to the ground with a metallic hum.

However, at this moment, Doflamingo had no time to pay attention to Bellamy, who had dropped his grip due to shock.

Because at that moment, he was also extremely shocked.

"You guys aren't kidding me, are you?" Doflamingo asked instinctively.

But upon seeing the unwavering determination in the eyes of the three men in crimson, he choked back a sob.

His crimson eyes remained calm and unwavering: "Do I look like the kind of person who would make this kind of joke?"

“Doesn’t look like it!” Doflamingo’s lips curled into a sinister laugh. “I see.”

"Fufufufu~"

"Are you trying to use the Celestial Dragons to divert the Navy's fighting power?"

"That is indeed a good idea. As a military force under the World Government, the Navy can't just stand by and watch the Celestial Dragons die!"

"Tell me your plans, and I'll decide whether or not to get involved."

Although he didn't think the plan would have any good results, Doflamingo didn't mind wasting a little more time here since he rarely heard something so interesting.

Publicly executing Celestial Dragons?

What kind of hellish joke is this?!

Even someone as self-important as himself wouldn't dare to have such an outrageous idea.

Killing a Celestial Dragon isn't difficult; after all, Doflamingo has personally killed two Celestial Dragons...

One was his father, and the other was his younger brother.

However, killing a Celestial Dragon is very simple.

But to publicly execute a Celestial Dragon...

I should just wash up and go to bed.

After all, that touched upon more than just the dignity of the navy.

However, to Doflamingo's surprise, after he showed interest, the Crimson One opposite him was the first to resist him.

"I think you've misunderstood, Doflamingo."

Crimson smiled calmly: "Although I really don't want to say it directly, with the strength of your Don Quixote family, I'm afraid you're not qualified to join this plan."

"After all, neither you nor your family can withstand the wrath of the World Government."

"I invited you here to cooperate, not to go and die."

"So if you do me two things, I guarantee you'll witness an absolutely spectacular performance!!!"

"First, help me find a Celestial Dragon's trail!"

"Second, help me spread this message as widely and as quickly as possible."

"After you've done these two things, you can completely sever ties with us."

"What do you mean!?" Doflamingo frowned, feeling insulted.

But Crimson just grinned and replied, "Literal meaning!"

"After all, we're only in the initial stages of our partnership, so I can't reveal too much crucial information to you."

I hope you can understand.

"It seems I have no choice but to help with this."
