One Piece: King of the World from White Town

"Although according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Don Quixote family has suddenly increased its efforts to search for and purchase devil fruits, but this does not mean anything. Because they have been doing this kind of thing in the first place, and it is normal to choose to increase investment when the harvest is small."

"Secondly, I don't think it's necessary for the other party to take this risk. Compared with a devil fruit whose authenticity is uncertain, is it necessary to give up the family base again? This will be a heavy blow to the other party's reputation in the underground world."

"If there were no threat from those three warships, the Don Quixote family might come to investigate, but the current situation almost forces them to stay in the base and not allow them to come."

"I guess Commander Tsuru deliberately arranged this in order to take advantage of Doflamingo's suspicious and cunning character to perform a reverse routine. However, human nature is the most difficult to guess. If the other party only needs to think one less or one more, the result will be completely the opposite."

"Finally, the news just came that no ship left Gabriel Island. All the members of the Don Quixote family stayed behind."

"Our plan failed."

Listening to the adjutant's analysis, He did not give any response.

Even when she heard the adjutant say that the plan had failed, there was no change on her face.

Still so calm, as if everything is under control.

"Cassandra, what's the weather like today?"

"Weather? It looks like it's going to be a rainy day today."

He raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening clouds, feeling an oppressive feeling of impending storm. "Yes, it will be a rainy day, with thunder and lightning soon."

"Lightning and thunder?"

The adjutant looked confused and found that he was increasingly unable to keep up with his superior's thinking.

I was clearly testing her just now, but now the conversation turned into a discussion of the weather. What does this mean?

Could it be possible that members of Don Quixote's family would be struck to death by lightning?

That's too ridiculous.

"Cassandra, do you know what the biggest 'enemy' of a smart person is?"

"A smarter person?"

"It's arrogance. When people are too confident, they will gradually become conceited."

"Are you referring to Doflamingo?"

"I'm talking about myself."

"Sir, you are too modest. How can you be a conceited person to say such a thing?"

"Then why are we still here? No intention of retreating?"

"Uh……"

"Pass the order down, everyone enter the first level alert state, the person we are waiting for should be here soon."

"Yes, sir!"

Although Cassandra was confused by the crane, she immediately obeyed the order.

At the same time, doubts inevitably arose in my mind. Is Commander He really the kind of person who is so conceited that he refuses to admit his failure?

No! How can it be!

There has never been such a rumor in all these years.

Then there may be only one answer.

Conceit means absolute self-confidence!

"So you're really coming?"

For some reason, Cassandra also looked up at the sky. It was about to rain.

……

"Damn it, I actually encountered this kind of horrible weather."

Doflamingo, who used the 'Skyway' to move quickly in the air, could not help but curse.

The so-called "sky road" actually uses lines that are too thin to be seen by the naked eye to tie up the clouds in the sky, thereby achieving a traction effect, allowing them to fly and move at high speed in mid-air.

It can be said that when it comes to the development of devil fruits, Doflamingo is a genius among geniuses.

If someone else had eaten this Thread-Thread Fruit, they might not have thought of using it in this way.

But this 'empty passage' also has a biggest flaw, there must be material around that can be pulled by the wire, once there is no material nearby that can be pulled by the wire, the 'empty passage' will be ineffective.

And during thunderstorms, using the 'air path' is also very dangerous.

Because when using wires to pull clouds, there is a high chance of being struck by lightning.

This is also the reason why Doflamingo suddenly frowned in depression.

Fortunately, Biefeng Island was right under his feet, and no naval ships were found on the surrounding sea, which meant that he finally arrived here before the navy arrived.

The next step is to get the surgery fruit first...

Doflamingo's eyes narrowed and he was falling rapidly.

The streets of Biefeng Island were in chaos.

Ever since the news of the Ope Ope Fruit's appearance accidentally leaked, the pirates who were already recuperating on this island immediately began to search greedily for it.

Finally they found it!

She was an ordinary-looking short-haired woman, holding a box in her hands, and inside the box was the surgery fruit!

Why so sure?

Because some people patted their chests and guaranteed that they saw it with their own eyes.

How can it be fake?

What is the purpose of so many people lying collectively?

Are you worried that there won’t be enough people trying to snatch it?

The truth is often hidden in these possibilities that are denied at first glance.

The short-haired woman acted decisively and quickly. Every time she was blocked, she was able to escape danger and continue to run away.

But this also led to more and more people wanting to catch her.

"Hurry up, don't let her run away!"

"Leave the surgery fruit behind and we can let you go."

"Let's go together, she can't get away!"

Seeing that the short-haired woman was surrounded again, at this moment, these pirates suddenly started killing each other.

"Tell me, is the Operation Fruit in your possession?"

Doflamingo appeared on the roof and asked condescendingly.

The short-haired woman wanted to escape again, but found that she had lost control of her body and could only watch herself walk towards the other person step by step.

Doflamingo didn't want to waste time, so he flicked a string and snatched the box from the woman's hand, then opened it and took a look.

Just hear a BOOM!

The box exploded the moment it was opened, and the power was not small.

If caught off guard, even Doflamingo would be seriously injured!

And the explosion of the box was like a signal, and a large number of navy swarmed in from their hiding places, surrounding Doflamingo and other surviving pirates in a blink of an eye!

Such a change is enough to explain everything.

There is no such thing as the Operation Fruit at all. It was all Tsuru's plan, a trap to lure Doflamingo here alone!

But as the smoke dissipated, Doflamingo's voice of angry laughter rang out again, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, after mobilizing such a large force, this is really a big return gift, Crane!!!"

Chapter 213 The Falling Firebird!

"Doflamingo actually came?! And he came from the sky alone..."

When all this really happened, Cassandra's face was full of shock.

But looking at Commander He next to him, he was neither arrogant when he won nor discouraged when he lost, and his expression showed no joy or anger.

Cassandra suddenly felt a little ashamed. She was indeed still far from reaching her level.

Then Commander He slowly said, "You know, I'm not sure he will come."

"Captain He, you don't need to comfort me. I'm not that fragile yet."

"I'm just telling the truth. Cassandra, remember, in this cat-and-mouse game, the cat can fail many times, but the mouse can't afford to lose even once."

"Losing means death."

"So I can plan calmly based on the intelligence I have, and I don't have to worry about whether the other party will be fooled. If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times. As long as I can achieve my goal once, it will be the greatest success."

"Do you understand now?"

Cassandra suddenly understood something and let go of her concern for gain and loss.

Perhaps this is the calmness brought about by the difference in trial and error costs.

……

"what is that?!"

"Even his head was blown to pieces, why is he still alive?"

"Shoot, shoot!"

When the smoke cleared, the 'Doflamingo' that appeared in front of everyone looked like a tattered puppet.

But the strange thing was that not a drop of blood flowed out of the wound.

And there are voices that can come out of Doflamingo's mouth, which is simply challenging the three views of everyone present.

"He, you will never catch me, ever!"

Ignoring the dense lead bullets, 'Doflamingo' immediately turned into countless thin lines and gushed out.

This is just a 'Shadow Rider Clone'!

Although Doflamingo chose to come here alone and take risks because of his ambition for the Operation Fruit, how could the cunning JOKER be completely unprepared?

At this moment, his real body was actually high in the sky, looking down at everything happening below.

All he had to do next was to leave from the air again, and no one could stop him.

But He went to so much trouble to trick him here, is this the only trick he has?

Of course the answer is not that simple!

"put!"

When the shadow knight line soared into the sky, Cassandra also commanded the navy to fire a large amount of strange "ammunition" into the sky.

These ammunitions do not have any lethal power. They will automatically explode when they reach a certain height, spreading out some strange black powder inside.

Then everyone noticed that the already gloomy weather suddenly became even more violent and terrifying.

The dark clouds began to flash with terrifying lightning, as if some horrible creature was rolling violently inside.

Doflamingo, who had just received the Echo Rider line, immediately changed his expression and began to lower his altitude without hesitation, trying to fall to the ground.

The next moment, there was lightning and thunder!

Countless silver snakes emerged from the thunderclouds and began to wreak havoc on the entire island.

Those pirates who chose to stay because of greed, those who were unlucky were hacked to death on the spot, while those who were lucky could only hide in a corner, trembling and praying that they would not be affected.

At this time, all the navy had already arrived at the place where the lightning protection equipment was installed and took shelter safely.

As for the island's inhabitants...

They had been secretly evacuated a few days ago, and the remaining residents were all navy personnel in disguise.

The crane chose this island based on a series of objective conditions including weather, geographical location, number of residents, etc.

And those special ammunitions that had just been shot into the sky were another big gift she had prepared for Doflamingo!

Don’t you always like to rely on your ability to ‘fly’? Now look, who still dares to fly!
