After following the merchant ship to Dressrosa, Guan Liyuan brought Ace to the place where he had agreed to meet Lafitte - a shabby tavern.
As soon as he entered the door, Ace immediately tensed up and took a fighting posture, and even his right fist had turned into flames, but at this moment, Guan Liyuan directly reached out and pinched his wrist.
"You are not his opponent. When you are about to be beaten and call for your father, do you want me to save you out of reluctance?" Guan Liyuan said coldly.
Ace calmed down angrily, but still retorted: "My father is only Whitebeard!"
"..." Guan Liyuan always felt that the child's attention was strange.
At this time, Guan Liyuan also said to the only table of guests in the tavern: "But it really surprised me. I didn't expect you to be so sincere... My Great Governor of the West Sea!"
Yes, Guan Liyuan was also surprised that Blackbeard would be here. He originally thought that only Lafitte would wait for him in Dressrosa.
But at this time, in addition to Lafitte, there was Van Oka with a sniper rifle, and Blackbeard himself was also there.
Ace didn't see Blackbeard's preparation here, so he almost got angry!
"zHahaha... As the Grand Governor, of course I have to meet the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army before taking office! In the future, I will have to ask Mr. Guan to say a few good words for me in front of Mr. Dragon so that my career will be prosperous! zHahaha..." Blackbeard laughed.
Then, as if he had just seen Ace, Blackbeard turned and said, "Hey? Isn't this my dear second captain Ace? How about it, now that you are on the side of the Revolutionary Army, you can join my Grand Governor's Office, right?"
"Whether you are a member of the Revolutionary Army or not, I will use your head to commemorate Thatch." Ace said coldly.
"Thatch... Well, it would be better if he was smarter." Blackbeard said frivolously.
"You!"
Guan Liyuan interrupted Ace as he glared, "Okay! Now is not the time to solve the family affairs of your Whitebeard Pirates. It's time to show your 'important one or two'. How are you going to cooperate with me? I need to control Doflamingo and Sugar at the same time!"
Blackbeard was a little dissatisfied when he heard Guan Liyuan attribute his affairs to the family affairs of the Whitebeard Pirates, but he did not question it. He just said: "Sugar? Is she the cadre of the most heavily protected Trebol Army? No, I don't know where she is, and Tian Yasha is also mysterious.
But... I can ensure that the Yasha will be here to discuss some things with me at noon tomorrow, about an hour. If... the Revolutionary Army can really threaten Tian Yasha, I will personally help you take him down! How about it? It's a good deal! zHahaha..."
Blackbeard's conditions were not harsh, and it can even be said that... he did more than expected! He even took on the task of "capturing the king" himself.
As for the "precondition", it is actually normal. After all, it is not that Blackbeard wants to fight against Tenyasha. If the Revolutionary Army does not show that it wants to capture and can capture Dressrosa, wouldn't Blackbeard be asking for trouble by attacking Tenyasha?
Guan Liyuan took a deep look at Blackbeard, and then said, "Okay, then you will see a chaotic Dressrosa."
After leaving the tavern, Ace was still angry, not only because of Blackbeard, but also because of the prosperous and harmonious scene on the street...
It's not that Ace has an antisocial personality and he is unhappy when he sees others happy.
It's because he now knows what is hidden behind this seemingly happy city...
Everyone who looks happy may have important relatives and friends who are now turning into dolls, working in sweatshops at night in exchange for the opportunity to pretend to be dolls and see them during the day!
Occasionally, there are dolls that can't help but recognize their relatives, and they will also be regarded as "human diseases" - for example, just now Ace saw a male doll. Seeing his lover about to kiss someone else, he couldn't help but step forward to stop him and shouted his name, but he was regarded as a crazy doll by the other party and was forcibly taken away by the guards...
The reason why Ace has such obvious anger is not only because of the truth told to him by Guan Liyuan, but also because he saw the shadow of the Kingdom of Goa in Dressrosa.
It also looks rich and happy on the surface, but in fact it just leaves the darkest side to others.
After combining with his childhood memories, Ace's deep anger overflowed from his heart...
And in comparison, the situation in Dressrosa is more "horrible". At least Ace can't imagine what it would be like if he was plotted against by Sucrose, Whitebeard, Luffy, Sabo, and other companions on the ship... all forgot about him!
But when Ace wanted to take action, he was stopped by Guan Liyuan.
"Don't move. There is no point in saving one or two except to alert the enemy. The important thing now is to find Sucrose." Guan Liyuan said.
Guan Liyuan's actions are omitted for now. After meeting Guan Liyuan, Blackbeard was very happy to eat and drink in Dressrosa. He was in a good mood and didn't see that he would plot against the "king" here soon.
At noon the next day, Blackbeard went to meet Doflamingo at the agreed time.
However, what puzzled Blackbeard was that nothing had happened in Dressrosa until then. Was the Revolutionary Army so useless? Even Dressrosa couldn't be dealt with? Should I stand him up?
Blackbeard was very entangled, but on the surface he still showed his rotten teeth and grinned.
He also comforted himself in his heart that there should be "accidents" before the time limit, right? Guan Liyuan, that guy, looks like a strong enemy, and there is a large force of the Revolutionary Army not far away. He shouldn't be so bad...
If he is really so bad, should I continue?
That's right, Blackbeard said that he would mainly take on the task of "taking down" Doflamingo. It's not that he really has the responsibility, but he also covets the secrets of Doflamingo!
At this time, Blackbeard also knew that Doflamingo was a "former Celestial Dragon", and he also knew that Doflamingo held a secret that could threaten the Celestial Dragons...
"Hahaha, should I call you Joker at this time? How about the batch of arms that we agreed on before?" Blackbeard asked.
There was one thing he did not lie to Doflamingo, that is, he was planning to develop in the West Sea, and the West Sea already had many big customers of Joker - Doflamingo's code name in the dark world was Joker, and his identity was a slave trader and arms dealer.
Doflamingo sat directly opposite Blackbeard, put his two feet on the edge of the table, and said to Blackbeard in a big boss style: "Before that, I have someone to introduce to you."
A dirty uncle with a runny nose and a sticky body came in with a little luoli with green hair. Blackbeard couldn't help but have a bad feeling... Blackbeard
knew this dirty uncle, he was one of the four highest cadres under Doflamingo - Trebol, and Sucrose was nominally his subordinate!
However, Blackbeard only knew that there was a mysterious Sucrose under Doflamingo. Blackbeard didn't know the specific ability of the other party. He saw that Guan Liyuan seemed to know it before, but he didn't explain it to him.
"Well? Is this little girl your daughter?" Blackbeard looked at the little luoli with green hair, that is, Sucrose, and deliberately said to Doflamingo.
At this time, Sucrose put the "Ace" doll that was originally hanging on his waist on the table...
Blackbeard couldn't help but shrink his pupils!
Why do you know it's the "Ace" doll?
Cowboy hat, bare chest, freckles face, a "s" ce and Whitebeard's tattoos are all there, obviously this is made according to Ace!
As for why it turned into a doll, but the traces of "Ace"'s existence did not disappear? Guan Liyuan also wanted to know...
[Is this guy testing me? ] Blackbeard didn't know that this doll was Ace, and just thought it was a test.
"ZHahaha, it seems that you already know? That's right, I handed Ace to them for mutual benefit with the Revolutionary Army! What? Joker wouldn't be unwilling to trade with his friends in the Revolutionary Army just because he was a Celestial Dragon, right?" Blackbeard said deliberately.
However, at this moment, Blackbeard laughed and suddenly jumped up, and with his left hand, the table in front of him was directly shattered. At the same time, a pure black spiral emerged from his right fist, as if it had swallowed up the space, and he hammered towards Doflamingo...
"Joker! I'll take your head!" Blackbeard hammered with the momentum of taking his life.
Lafitte and Van Oka, who were behind him, also took attacking postures. However, Doflamingo did not dodge or avoid Blackbeard's attack. Just when Blackbeard was wondering and about to succeed, his fleshy belly was touched by Sugar beside him... It
didn't hurt at all? It wasn't an attack?
Before Blackbeard could continue to wonder, a super ugly doll appeared where Blackbeard was originally suspended in the air, but Blackbeard disappeared...
At the same time, a super handsome doll was walking "cautiously" in the city under the guidance of a one-legged soldier!
"Are you a revolutionary? How can you be so careless! Facing an ability you don't understand, you actually went straight for it?" After taking Guan Liyuan to escape to the alley, the one-legged soldier said angrily.
Of course, "careful" also refers to the one-legged soldier. The super handsome doll has always seemed to lack a sense of nervousness...
"Yeah, now it seems that everyone has really forgotten about me!" The super handsome doll used his observation Haki to confirm the location of the Heroic Squad that had already arrived at Dressrosa, and eavesdropped on their conversation.
That's right, the super handsome doll is naturally Guan Liyuan who was "accidentally" turned into a doll. Now the Heroic Squad has forgotten him, let alone the others, but... they still remember Ace, and they remember that they are here to assist Ace in rescuing Dragon!
"What is the principle behind this?"
Looking at Guan Liyuan's lack of nervousness, the one-legged soldier felt so tired...
