One Piece: I only realized murder was illegal after leaving the Holy Land.

From this point on, the rivalry between Shiki and Newgate in the New World will further transform into a three-way confrontation between Roger, Shiki, and Newgate!

Who will ultimately become the pirate overlord of the New World? We'll have to wait and see how these three top pirates clash!

Once all the information about Lindland Island has been deciphered, a large wave of new bounty posters will be distributed.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Flying Pirates were just ordinary crews; the captain and officers simply raised their bounties a bit, nothing particularly noteworthy.

On the contrary, the Roger Pirates, which had been dormant for three years, experienced a huge surge in popularity!

The Marine Headquarters officially announced that the Roger Pirates intended to investigate and search for the lost Ancient Weapons, hoping to conquer or even destroy the world with this terrifying power. Therefore, the entire Roger Pirates were defined as 'extremely dangerous'.

The World Government's Public Opinion Department followed suit, confirming the Navy Headquarters' statement and declaring that the Roger Pirates possessed terrifying power that threatened world order. The World Government would henceforth launch a full-scale attack on the Roger Pirates, hoping that all parties would cooperate to eradicate this pirate crew that intended to harm the entire world.

As a result, Roger's bounty skyrocketed, making him a pirate with a bounty of 1.247 billion Berries, a hundred million Berries higher than Shiki the Golden Lion, who was previously the number one in the industry!

As the vice-captain, Pluto Silvers Rayleigh's bounty immediately reached 722 million Berries.

Navigator Jabba the Mountain Devourer, bounty 596 million Berries.

Scholar Spencer is recognized by the world's authorities as having the ability to decipher ancient texts, and a bounty of 370 million Berries has been placed on his head.

Then there were the other members of Roger's crew. All of them had their bounties increased significantly. For example, Dorring, the father, had a bounty of 130 million Berries.

Among the other combatants, there were no big shots with hundreds of millions in assets.

Finally, there's only Vikingum, the 'strongest rookie' of the Roger Pirates. Currently, he's been labeled 'Frost Axe Jaigo Vikingum' by the Navy, with a bounty of 280 million Berries.

Ranked fifth in Roger's Pirates!

"Damn it, being the strongest rookie is one thing, I think I deserve that title, but what does Frost Axe mean by that? Is he implying that I'm a knock-off of Silver Axe? That's awful. Speaking of which, Silver Axe makes me angry just thinking about him. Last time in the West Blue, I even gave him a brooch worth billions of Berries, but this time he didn't care about our past relationship at all. He wanted to chop me up as soon as he saw me. Next time, I'll definitely chop him up!" Vikingham cursed.

Clearly, he was not very satisfied with his title of 'Frost Axe'.

As for the bounty, Vikingham didn't care too much. It wasn't important. Being ranked fifth didn't matter; he had zero before.

It's worth noting that Vikingum is marked as 'capture alive only'.

Spencer, on the other hand, was furious. "Damn it, Marine Headquarters! The rumors started here. When did I become a scholar? I can't understand any of that ancient script! I'm just an intelligence officer with average strength. How come my bounty was suddenly raised to 370 million Berries? Isn't this bullying an honest person?!"

Spencer is indeed not a combatant. Although he is not incapable of participating in combat, his strength level is relatively ordinary. He can be considered to be on the same level as Dorringer. His previous bounty was only a little over 80 million Berries.

As a result, the World Government slapped the label of "scholar" on him, saying he had the ability to decipher ancient texts. Coupled with his previous claim that the Roger Pirates intended to revive the Ancient Weapons, he basically took the blame for everything. His bounty suddenly became the fourth highest in the Roger Pirates, second only to the three big bosses, which almost made Spencer furious!

Seeing Spencer's exasperated expression, Vikingham scratched his chin somewhat sheepishly and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Well, don't take it so seriously. If you want to learn, I'll start teaching you how to decipher ancient texts today."

"Forget it, for the sake of your Viking lord, I'm too lazy to bother with them," Spencer sighed again and waved his hand.

Who told the Vikings to shower him with so many luxuries back in the Sabaody Archipelago? Now he'll have to take the blame.

Chapter 88: Doflamingo's Elbow Strike on Nerona! (Bonus Chapter 2 for Monthly Tickets!)

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

In the spacious courtyard of the Donquixote Family compound, Doflamingo, the demon, is wreaking havoc.

After being taught a lesson by Vikingham in the Sabaody Archipelago, he slunk back to Mary Geoise and then killed all the servants who had accompanied him. Naturally, the Navy couldn't publicize that he had been beaten by Vikingham, so to this day, no one knows that he received two slaps from Jabba.

Doflamingo truly lives up to his reputation as the inheritor of the Donquixote Family's 'mad blood.' After returning to Mary Geoise, although he harbored some resentment towards Vikingum, he also developed a greater sense of admiration for him.

He admired Vikingham's unbridled nature, his liberalism and unbridled spirit, and as a Celestial Dragon, he actually went to the sea to become a pirate.

In addition, his arrogant and domineering behavior, such as ordering his subordinates to slap himself, made Doflamingo think it was really cool!

Celestial Dragons should be like him!

What's the point of always bullying defenseless slaves and servants? True Celestial Dragons should fight Celestial Dragons!

So after returning from Sabaody Archipelago, Doflamingo, without saying a word, gave his three-year-old brother Rosinante a severe beating, making Rosinante cry loudly.

Then, Doflamingo got a beating from his mother, and at the same time, he felt that bullying Rosinante was pointless, since it was essentially just bullying someone who couldn't fight back.

So during this time, Doflamingo was thinking about how to be as cool as his uncle Viking Gum.

First, I need to find a Celestial Dragon to beat up. Second, I need to train myself, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if I failed.

Doflamingo hasn't decided yet who to beat up.

However, he has indeed been training himself recently. For example, right now, in the spacious courtyard, Doflamingo is constantly elbowing his slave, beating him black and blue, to improve the power and proficiency of his elbow strikes.

To be fair, Doflamingo does have some talent in terms of strength. Don't be fooled by how weak he seemed in the original story; it all depends on who he's compared to.

As a Heavenly Demon and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even if Doflamingo couldn't defeat him, he was still someone who could at least challenge a Marine Admiral.

With such talent, how could he be lacking?

At five years old, he was at the age where he should be adventuring. At this time, Garp and others were already beating up wild beasts in the mountains. Although Doflamingo hadn't reached that level yet, he had indeed displayed his violent talent. At his age, no Celestial Dragon in Mary Geoise was stronger than him!

Otherwise, why would Somaz take a liking to him? I was thinking of finding a way to recruit him into the Knights of God when he got a little older.

After breaking the slave's nose with two elbow strikes and knocking him unconscious, Doflamingo curled his lip and said, "Bring me another one!"

Just then, a servant of the Donquixote Family stepped forward quickly with a newspaper in his hand and said, "Saint Doflamingo, the news you mentioned earlier about the Roger Pirates has been published today."

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo became very interested and said, "Bring it here quickly!"

As the future "King of Newspaper Reading," Doflamingo's literacy level is quite good. Although he is only a little over five years old, he can already read newspapers fluently, which is far superior to most Celestial Dragons of the same age.

Doflamingo unfolded the newspaper and quickly began to read it.

"Oh! A Mythical Zoan? That's impressive, the strongest newcomer on the high seas? How come the bounty is only 280 million? That's too little!" Doflamingo focused on his uncle's news and exclaimed loudly.

"The bounties for Doflamingo Saint are generally around this level. Reaching 200 million Berries is already quite impressive," the servant beside him quickly explained.

"Is that so? Two hundred million Berries can't even buy a mermaid slave, and that's already impressive?" Doflamingo muttered, not quite understanding, then put away the newspaper and said, "I want to be a Devil Fruit user too. Do we have any Devil Fruits in our warehouse? Go find me a Mythical Zoan!"

The servant looked extremely embarrassed and quickly added, "Saint Doflamingo, although the Donquixote Family possesses Devil Fruits, they are not Mythical Zoan types. In fact, the power of Mythical Zoan types is extremely rare. When such abilities appear on Mary Geoise, they are quickly absorbed by the Five Elders and the Knights of God."

"Tsk, nothing here, nothing there!" Doflamingo clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then asked, "Where's that crybaby Rosinante?"

"Saint Rosinandi has gone to the Narona family's banquet with Lord Homingu," the servant replied immediately.

"Huh? I've never heard of this before. Why didn't Father take me?" Doflamingo paused for a moment, then said somewhat angrily.

“You said you wanted to practice elbow strikes here, so…” the servant immediately explained.

Doflamingo thought about it and realized that something like that had happened before, so he didn't say anything more and waved his hand, saying, "Come on, take me to the Nerona family. I want to attend a banquet too!"

The Narona family's territory is located at the deepest part of the God's Abode, occupying arguably the best location in the entire God's Abode.

Following closely behind are the other five Elder families, then the Figarand family, and so on.

Although Mary Geoise does not have any substantial stratification of the Celestial Dragon families, there are indeed differences in rank among the nineteen Celestial Dragon families.

Most people believe that the Five Elders' family is the most prestigious. Only a very few Celestial Dragons who know the truth are aware that the most prestigious family in Mary Geoise is the Nerona family, to which Lord Im belongs.

However, Lord Im never delegates power to the Nerona family. Since they moved to Mary Geoise, this family has never produced a Celestial Dragon or any other important members.

Therefore, many Celestial Dragons who were unaware of the situation did not regard the Narona clan as any formidable force, thinking they were similar to their own. As for their clan's territory, that was chosen hundreds of years ago, and the Narona clan was just lucky to have secured a good location.

Doflamingo is naturally such a character. What does a Celestial Dragon who is only five years old know about Lord Im?

Even his father was unaware of this situation. From the family teachings he received, he only knew that he couldn't afford to offend the members of the Five Elders family, nor could he afford to mess with the Figarand family. As for the rest, no one should think they were more powerful than anyone else. If you're not convinced, then come and challenge my Don Quixote family!

When Doflamingo arrived at the Nerona family, the banquet had already begun, and the place was bustling with activity. Celestial Dragons from various families were chatting and gossiping, sharing what good things they had recently acquired.

Walking through the banquet, Doflamingo tried to find his father, but couldn't see him.

But just then, a kid who looked to be in his teens and much taller than Doflamingo, followed by a group of young Celestial Dragons who subtly revered him, came up in front of Doflamingo.

"Who are you? You look familiar." Neronna Calfa arrogantly raised his chin and asked Doflamingo.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking me?" Doflamingo wasn't going to put up with the other person; his demonic nature kicked in, and he retorted.

Karl was stunned for a moment. There were people in this God's Abode who didn't recognize him?

I am the third in line to inherit the Narona family. Once my cousin and uncle die, I will be the head of the Narona family!

Yes, the official head of the Nerona clan is not Lord Im, otherwise wouldn't all the Celestial Dragons know of his existence?

"My name is Karfa, and I am the third in line to the throne of the Narona family!" Karfa said, barely suppressing his displeasure.

"Third in line!?" Doflamingo said with utter disdain, "I thought you were some kind of powerful figure, but you're only third in line. My name is Doflamingo, and I'm the young master of the Donquixote Family!"

Doflamingo wasn't exaggerating. Although his father, Homingo, was an oddball, he was indeed the current head of the Donquixote Family. As Homingo's eldest son, Doflamingo was indeed the young master of the Donquixote Family.

"Doflamingo?" Calfa was taken aback at first, then seemed to remember something, and sneered disdainfully, "Ah, I've heard of you, you're that despicable, shameless pervert who likes to beat his own brother at home, right?"

What kind of temper does Doflamingo have? Upon hearing this, he immediately turned red-hot!

"How dare you humiliate me like this!?" Doflamingo went berserk on the spot, and then instinctively used the technique he had been practicing recently, delivering a powerful elbow strike to Nerona Calva.

At that moment, his mind was filled with the image of his uncle, Vikingum. Damn it, a real man should fight Celestial Dragons!

However, due to his height, the five-year-old Doflamingo was only slightly taller than Karl's waist.

So this elbow strike landed squarely on Calfa's groin. As mentioned before, although Doflamingo was only five years old, he was indeed quite brave and strong. When the elbow strike landed, there was a cracking sound, as if he had smashed something!

The scene fell silent for a moment, then Karlfa clutched his pants, crying out in pain as blood streamed down his face.

Following closely behind, the servants of the Narona family were also dumbfounded, shouting frantically, "It's terrible! Calfa has been severely injured by Doflamingo's elbow!!!"

Chapter 89 The Knights of God: Doflamingo is stripped of his Celestial Dragon status, imprisoned for five years, and expelled from the Holy Land.

In the corridor of the Narona clan's palace, the abode of the gods.

Figaland Gringu was pacing around here at this moment, his expression very serious.

Somaz and Mafi Palace were also there, leaning against a stone pillar in the corridor, talking about what had just happened.

"I told you long ago, that brat Doflamingo has guts, now you understand?" Somaz said with a smug grin, as if he was enjoying the show.

Maffei Palace's expression was slightly helpless as he said, "And now you're still making sarcastic remarks? That's the third in line of the Narona family..."

"Tsk, it shouldn't be anything serious, right? Didn't a medical-type ability user already go in?" Somaz hesitated for a moment before asking.

Somaz was not afraid of the third in line of the Narona family. Even the head of the family was nothing in his eyes. After all, putting aside the fact that he was the young master of the Five Elders family, he had signed a contract with Lord Im and was a key member of the Knights of God. There was no need to compare. In Lord Im's heart, his status and importance could never be compared to the third in line of the Narona family.

It's only because of Lord Im that everyone gives the Narona clan enough respect.

Just as Somaz was discussing these things with Mafi Palace, the door of the hall in the distance opened, and several tired medical personnel came out.

Upon seeing this, Green immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? How is Karl?"

It's not that Gringu cared much about Karfa, but the Knights of God had an important authority within the House of God: to judge the Celestial Dragons.

Doflamingo's Demon Orb has clearly met this standard, and Grindelwald must come to fulfill his responsibilities, otherwise it would be dereliction of duty.

"Although we've done everything we can to save him, his life is out of danger, but..." The doctor hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Karlfa's fertility has been severely affected. Only his right eye is still usable, and we don't know if it will..."

Upon hearing this, Grimg's face twitched twice. Damn it, Doflamingo, you're a ruthless guy!

Based on his fertility, Karlfa's third place in line is already gone; he has no chance of inheriting the Narona family.

Before Grindelwald could ask anything more, another middle-aged Celestial Dragon emerged from the hall, gritting his teeth and saying, "I want that bastard Doflamingo to pay with his life!!!"

Gringu naturally recognized him: Narona Cadro, Karfa's father, and a member of the Narona clan.

Logically speaking, Calfa wasn't a direct descendant of the Nero family, but it was through his father's influence and at great cost that his son became the third in line to the Nero family. In the end, he was completely wiped out by Doflamingo's elbow strike.

This guy is so angry he wants to tear Doflamingo to pieces!

Just then, another figure emerged from the hall. This man looked much more capable, and with a hint of ill intent in his expression, he said, "Cadero, don't be so impulsive. In the end, it's just a children's squabble. Karlfa is fine, isn't he? How can we let the young master of the Don Quixote family pay with his life?"

This man was Narona Cassie, the first in line of the Narona family, and also Cadero's older brother.

As the saying goes, as long as you dare to start a team fight, the system will automatically match you with suitable teammates.

Kadro went to great lengths to please Old Master Narona, even placing his son third in line of succession, all in an attempt to seize power within the Narona family. Of course, Cassiet, the eldest son of the old master and first in line of succession, would dislike him.

You dare to push for your son to be the third pick? Are you secretly hoping for my son and me to die?

Now that Calfa has been crippled and his third-ranking position is no longer secure, Kassett genuinely believes that Doflamingo is a good person!

He's liked this kid ever since he was little!

"You!!!" Kadro glared at his elder brother, his mouth trembling for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say anything harsh, after all, the other was the eldest son.

Kassett was even happier to see this. Of course, he was just making sarcastic remarks; he wasn't going to risk his life to protect the Don Quixote family. After all, what did it have to do with him? It wouldn't look good if word got out, making it seem like he was abandoning his own brothers for outsiders.

However, Kasit still said to Gringu, "Saint Gringu, as the captain of the Knights of God, you have the authority to judge the heinous acts within our Celestial Dragon family. But I still hope you can uphold justice. Although the young master of the Donquixote family is guilty of seriously injuring a member of my Nerona family, he does not deserve to die. We Celestial Dragon families are all interconnected, ultimately we are all one family, and we all have the blood of twenty kings flowing through our veins. We must not be swayed by biased opinions, after all, he is still just a child..."

That's perfectly reasonable; it even shows his magnanimity, treating all nineteen Celestial Dragon families as his own 'family.' The others could only give him a thumbs up and praise his kindness.

Grimgum didn't care about that guy Kadro. You, a member of a collateral branch, are just making a fuss here. Who we kill is none of your business. You really don't respect the leader of the Knights of God, do you?
