Dressrosa, on the highest platform.

Law was panting on the ground when Doflamingo stomped down on him, only to have the straw hat block the kick. The Conqueror's Haki of both of them shook the surrounding area.

However, this Conqueror's Haki was completely inadequate in the face of that enormous sound and aura.

Torrepol yelled from the side, "Dover, a terrible fellow has arrived!"

"What is that?!" Straw Hat also turned his head and looked in the direction from which the aura was coming from.

Doflamingo chuckled, "Fufufufu, you're here..."

"What did you do, Doflamingo!" Straw Hat asked.

Bang!

At the same time, the clash of their Conqueror's Haki reached a point where the air could no longer withstand it, producing a loud bang and a shockwave that blew them apart.

Taking advantage of the moment, Straw Hat hugged Law and backed away.

Doflamingo's body floated in the air, grinning maliciously: "Want to know? I just summoned an assistant, Caesar..."

He revealed the name, "I notified that guy back when you were trying to make a deal with me, and she should be here by now."

He stretched out his hands, striking a wild pose, and laughed at the sky: "From the very beginning, I never thought Caesar would survive from your hands. To survive on the high seas, you have to be prepared for the worst."

"Law, do you think that just because you're threatening me with Kaido, I won't have any countermeasures?"

Doflamingo looked at Law, who was being held by the Straw Hat and panting, and said, "Fufufufu, that's not the case. Although Caesar is an important partner of mine, there is another person besides me who wants Caesar."

As if some phantom appeared behind him, a huge face emerged behind Doflamingo's evil grin as he spoke.

That was an even more malevolent, enormous face!

"Big Mom!"

Doflamingo slowly spoke, "That being really wanted Caesar! If it were her, no matter what happened to Caesar, Kaido would only target her. And that way, I could get rid of Kaido's threat for a while. In my eyes, Caesar was just a pawn to be discarded. However... I didn't expect Caesar to actually die, to die at the hands of that guy Kuro."

"That bastard actually underestimated me, thinking I would lose to you guys, which is infuriating enough. And you guys actually dared to challenge me? To me, even having that thought is an endless humiliation!"

Doflamingo raised one hand, forming a claw shape, and grinned maliciously: "That Kuro guy, let someone more terrifying deal with him. As for you... I'll give you a good beating!"

...

Out at sea outside Dressrosa, a huge pink ship gradually approaches.

This is a ship overflowing with candy, with frosting on the railings, ice cream cones at the top of the mast, candy canes and chips on both sides of the main deck, and a large candlelit tiered cake directly behind it.

At the bow of the ship, a round, clown-like head statue wearing a tricorn hat and a crown is constantly singing.

This ship is alive.

On the deck, Charlotte Linlin, her forehead veins bulging and looking like a demon, roared at the front: "Kuro! Kuro!! You brat! You actually killed Caesar! You killed my dream of becoming a Titan! You bastard, I won't let you get away with this!"

"Mom is angry..."

Behind her, a lion-mane said worriedly, "Ever since that golden lion came last time, Mother has been getting angry from time to time."

This lion-mannequin was wearing sunglasses and looked pretty cool.

"Pokemus, there's nothing we can do. Mom has never been hurt before, and that navy..."

Beside her, a long-legged man with an egg-shaped upper body glanced at Charlotte Linlin, who was shouting in front of her. She had two scars of different sizes on her shoulders.

"That Marine hurt Mom," Baron Tamago said. "And that wretched Doflamingo, I knew he wasn't up to any good. Caesar's appearance meant we were supposed to capture him. But that guy tipped us off that Caesar might be caught by the Marines, and so Mom showed up. And then there's the Straw Hat Pirates..."

Baron Egg snorted coldly, "The people on that ship, coincidentally, said that Kuro killed Caesar. Of course, Mom will be angry."

On their way to Dressrosa, they encountered the Straw Hat Pirates. The mother already remembered the incident on Fishman Island, and when they met them, they were reminded of Caesar. Upon further questioning, they learned that Caesar had been killed by the Golden Lion.

Jin Ni and Lucilfer Kuro are the same person.

A person whose name triggers a violent outburst from his mother.

During this period, Whole Cake Island was rebuilt more often than before.

This guy has actually reappeared.

"Hmph, let Mom get rid of that guy quickly. This country probably can't withstand Mom's wrath."

"No one can withstand a mother's wrath!" said Pokoms.

"Kuro, Golden Lion..."

Charlotte Linlin stared wide-eyed into the birdcage.

Although it was still quite far away and there were many rocks around the island, in her vision, all of these things were pierced through, and everything became transparent. Her gaze went further and further away, and finally locked onto a man wearing a navy cloak with a look of surprise on his face.

Her Observation Haki is powerful enough to see through things!

"Golden Lion!!"

Charlotte Linlin screamed, and the sound waves reverberated so loudly that the sea in front of her surged with waves.

Her anger was about to burst.

"Mom, please calm down. There are rocks ahead; we can't get across like this. We need to find a harbor. Also, this strange, shrinking line looks troublesome. Maybe we should wait until it disappears before we..."

"Shut up! I'm going to settle the score with Jin Ni right now!!"

Charlotte Linlin turned around and glared, interrupting Baron Egg's words.

She reached out and yanked her captain's hat off her head.

Napoleon.

Yes, Mom!

The captain's hat in her hand deformed and grew into a long knife.

Charlotte Linlin gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, assuming a swinging stance, "Mmmmmm, break it open!"

"Okay, Mom!"

As Napoleon responded, the woman swung her hand violently, unleashing a tremendous burst of energy that ripped through the air and produced a piercing shriek.

boom!!

The massive rock formation surrounding Dressrosa was chipped open by this single strike, sending fragments of rock flying into the sea.

A large gash was created by Charlotte Linlin.

"Golden Lion!"

Charlotte Linlin, her eyes bloodshot, roared, "Give me back my Caesar, my dream!!"
