"Who goes there!"
The soldiers guarding the ship gripped their weapons and aimed them at the person hovering in mid-air.
David waved his hand, signaling them to put down their weapons, and said calmly, "You're still as spirited as ever. It seems Impel Down didn't teach you a lesson, Doflamingo."
The person before me was none other than Doflamingo.
He smiled, twitched his fingers, and fell from mid-air onto the deck.
"Fufufufufu, Blackbeard broke into Impel Down, so of course I came out from there."
"Oh..."
David chuckled softly, "Now that you're out, instead of finding a place to rebuild your old forces and eke out a living, you've come all the way to find me... What, you still can't forget Dressrosa?"
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's smile widened, almost reaching his ears. Suddenly, he spread his five fingers and slashed forward. This unexpected action caused the soldiers who had just put down their weapons to pick them up again. But at that moment, their movements suddenly stopped, and they froze in place, trembling as if they had used all their strength, but their bodies did not move, only their faces turned red.
David stared straight at Doflamingo, letting his five fingers almost touch his eyes.
"Fufu..."
Doflamingo moved swiftly, bypassing David, and sat down in the chair behind him, saying:
"You can talk to me like that now, David, no, King David, has your demeanor changed now that you've become king, or perhaps..."
"The Kuro behind you gave you courage? Hmm?!"
David squinted, about to speak, when he saw Doflamingo reach out his hand. With a slight movement of his fingers, the soldiers, who were controlled by the threads, stiffened and bent down to pour him a drink.
The soldier responsible for pouring the wine glared at the enemy, gritting his teeth as he said, "You...bastard!"
Doflamingo laughed loudly: "Fufufufu! I'm a prisoner who came out of Impel Down, a pirate on the high seas, of course I'm a bastard! But aren't you all bastards who want to rule the world and drag the Celestial Dragons down!"
These words caused a moment of silence. Even the soldier who had been glaring angrily was stunned. His still-moving head instinctively turned to look at the calm-faced David.
"Fufufufu! You think I don't know? I know everything! I've been eyeing that Kuro guy even longer. He's been scheming since he joined the Navy, cultivating a force capable of shaking the world in the East Blue before venturing into the Grand Line. And what that bearded man has done in the East Blue has completely won over the people there!"
"Otherwise, after lying low in the East China Sea for so many years, he would have risen to a high-ranking naval officer within just a few years of arriving in the Grand Line, and now he's even a Fleet Admiral. Look at that..."
Doflamingo pointed to the large screen in front of him and said, "This is the last one, the last pirate. The pirates renowned on the high seas have become his stepping stones. Strength, fame, army, plus you all—he has it all. That Straw Hat kid, whether in strength or strategy, is no match for this monster. And this monster, just like his title, is puffing out clouds of mist, deceiving those high and mighty guys above. When the mist clears, he will reveal his forces, and then..."
As if excited, Doflamingo grinned savagely, spread his arms wide, and shouted, "Open his fangs and devour the world whole!!"
"So you knew..."
That excitement was washed away by a faint voice.
David remained calm and spoke slowly: "However, do not misinterpret our actions with your narrow-minded thinking. We are not here to rule the world, but to bring peace to the world and liberate people from the oppressive rule of the World Government, where the Celestial Dragons reside and the kings and nobles of various countries reside... Liberating this world is our ultimate goal."
Doflamingo was stunned. The smile on his face gradually faded and he began to crumble.
"Hello..."
Doflamingo's voice was deep: "Why can you say it so easily?"
Isn't this kind of thing hidden very well?
Kuro has been lying low for so long, and he doesn't dare to reveal himself now, but David just blurted it out like that. Why is he so indifferent?
"It's very simple, just as you said..."
David turned to look at Kuro on the big screen and said, "Master can't hold back any longer, and our preparations are complete. Nothing can stop us now..."
He looked out at the sea, facing the sea breeze, and said nonchalantly, "Revolutions are taking place in the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, and the North China Sea. The Revolutionary Army is sharing the burden of the World Government, and the Red Spider Corps is advancing rapidly in cooperation with the Revolutionary Army. We are not only fighting, but also spreading our ideas all over the world, letting the people of the world see us."
"Of the seven steps of the Grass Compendium, six have been completed. Only the last step remains. With the last step, the Celestial Dragons will disappear from this world."
"Um?!"
That calm and confident demeanor made Doflamingo's temples bulge with veins, his forehead furrowing into a 'well' shape.
"Your attitude is really unpleasant!"
brush!
Doflamingo formed his five fingers into a claw and swung them directly at David.
At that moment, a cloud of frost suddenly rose on the deck and spread rapidly toward Doflamingo, instantly freezing him, his chair, and the wine next to him into an ice sculpture.
