Chapter 82 Escape [VIP]
Ever since he refused the Navy's forced call-up, the life of Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo has been difficult.
He didn't expect that the navy would give up the action against Yale halfway and instead settle accounts with them, the Seven Warlords of the Sea who disobeyed his orders.
Because of this, his underground business was affected. Many transactions on the route were intercepted by CP members, and the entire ship's cargo was put into the government's pocket.
A navy team even came directly to Dressrosa.
Fortunately, what made Doflamingo relax was that the person who came was not the Navy Chief of Staff Tsuru, nor any of the three admirals, but the Navy Vice Admiral Momosag.
This admiral candidate is actually very strong and will not be at a disadvantage against Doflamingo, otherwise the navy would not be able to send her here with confidence.
But compared to the cruel and unscrupulous Doflamingo, Momoto has many weaknesses that the navy has - integrity and kindness, which will lower their guard against the weak.
As she battled Doflamingo, the power of the String-String Fruit cut the surrounding buildings into countless pieces of rubble.
In the fleeing crowd, a little girl with green hair and a red shawl fell to the ground, crying "Mom" in despair.
The falling rocks threatened to completely bury her.
At the critical moment, Taotu arrived in time, carried the other person to a safe place.
The next second, the girl put her hand on her shoulder and showed a sinister smile that was inconsistent with her image.
The peach rabbit immediately turned into a furry toy rabbit.
Everyone who knew her has lost their memory of her.
Although Peach Rabbit still retains her consciousness, she is also branded with a contract to "work for the Don Quixote family until death."
Unable to leave here and unable to ask for help from the navy, she can only wander around the island, learning the truth that was concealed by the island and reflecting on the government's Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
The toys on the island are all humans who have been wiped out of existence!
After learning the truth, Taotu felt extremely complicated.
Doflamingo relied on his status as a Seven Warlord to do these things, but the government navy knew nothing about it...
Is it that they can't investigate? No.
The government just wants to gain greater benefits at the expense of a small number of people, and the navy has always been an accomplice of the government.
The toy rabbit held its head in pain and clapped its furry hands a few times, trying to remember its fellow sailors who had also been turned into toys.
However, in her memory, the existence of those people also disappeared, and she could not remember anything.
At this moment, a loud cry of surprise came from the front.
The rabbit raised its head and quickly ran towards Lover's Avenue where the sound came from.
The airship landed, and the air currents blew in all directions.
It was a very beautiful streamlined airship. The metal door on the side opened with a "swish". As the red-haired man walked out, the residents who were originally panicked immediately became excited.
"Respected Captain Yale!"
"Respected Captain Yale!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Taotu was extremely alert.
First there was Doflamingo, and now here comes the East Sea Devil...
Could it be that the East Sea Demon came to occupy this place? This was the only possibility. Since its appearance, it had never had a record of befriending or cooperating with anyone.
Perhaps, the other party can break this unsolvable situation...
Just as Taotu was thinking, she felt a gaze.
Yale glanced at the toy rabbit in the crowd, looked around casually, and then raised his hand and pressed it down.
The people's cheers died down immediately, and they just continued to look at Yale with fanatical eyes.
"Thank you for your welcome." As usual, Yale made an opening speech for occupying the island. His voice, amplified by the metal ball, spread to every corner of the island.
"This island is quite interesting. Your devil fruits have brought me many surprises. However, as a generous and fair occupier, I will still follow the principle of voluntariness and let you choose whether to keep the appearance of the toy."
The decorations on his body automatically fell off and pieced together to form ordinary metal balls, and he skillfully began to capture information and make identity cards.
People began to gather spontaneously on Lover's Avenue, lining up in neat queues to receive their ID cards.
A toy dog wearing a hat heard a question after being scanned by the metal ball.
"Can you please keep the toy appearance?"
A glimmer of hope appeared in the toy dog's eyes, and his voice became high-pitched with excitement.
"No, no reservations—I want to change back, I want to become human again!"
"Okay, please take your ID, Citizen Milo."
As Metal Ball finished speaking, an ID card fell to the ground.
The toy dog immediately opened its mouth and grabbed the ID card. The next moment, its body began to change until it completely returned to its original appearance.
Looking at his recovered body, before Milo could even say thank you, he heard two familiar voices.
"Milo!"
"dad!"
His wife and children, who had forgotten him, remembered him again.
The family of three hugged each other and cried breathlessly.
The humans in line looked at this scene in confusion and surprise.
The toys were in a commotion, looking forward to turning back into humans and reuniting with their families.
"Let's go, what are you still standing there for?" Yale pulled the metal chain that bound Bellamy.
"If you don't leave now, your master will escape."
Bellamy came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to refute.
"Nonsense, how could Lord Doflamingo escape!"
"Yeah, how could he escape? I'm so disappointed."
Yale's figure quickly disappeared into the air in front, followed by Bellamy who was dragged in forcibly.
"Wait!" The toy rabbit ran over quickly.
"I am Vice Admiral Taotu, you—"
She was a step too late and could only watch them disappear.
But even if it was faster, the result would be the same. If Yale wanted to pay attention to her, he would have paid attention to her the first time he saw her.
*
The Don Quixote family has a person with special abilities who ate the Staring Fruit and has the ability to see from afar. His reconnaissance range is within a radius of 4,000 kilometers.
So long before the toy soldiers arrived at the King's Heights, the Don Quixote family had already taken action, but it was not a rebellion against Yale, but to pack up everything very quickly and simply leave the island.
It's a pity, but that's all we can do.
As a former member of the Celestial Dragons, Doflamingo knows the strength of those elite Celestial Dragons better than anyone else.
Even those people could be wiped out in one night. How could their family, which had only been developed for a few years, possibly resist the aggressive Yale?
Doflamingo will not leave his fate to luck.
He had never considered the naive idea that 'Yale wouldn't target Dressrosa'.
Ever since the navy officer Momotosagi came to suppress the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had been thinking about what they should do if Yale appeared.
Leaving here and joining the Beasts Pirates, or going to Punk Hazard or returning to the North Sea are all good options.
However, although they knew in their hearts that running away was the best option, the members of the Don Quixote family were still unwilling to do so.
They had worked so hard to turn this place into their base, but now they had to leave in such a hurry.
There is also the SMILE factory they built. Although the raw materials and employees can be taken away, the factory itself cannot be taken away. Therefore, the loss of money and market is simply astronomical.
"Dover, what will happen to Dressrosa if you leave?"
Violet, with her arms outstretched, blocked the way for Don Quixote's family to escape.
As the person who told Doflamingo the news of Aler's arrival, Violet originally thought that Doflamingo could resist Aler.
Compared to the East China Sea devil who would destroy an island whenever he occupied one, Doflamingo's rule at least guaranteed the lives of some citizens.
But she didn't expect that Doflamingo, who believed that "if he met someone who didn't obey him, he would use his strength to conquer the other party", would so simply choose the most cowardly path.
"Viola, my dear family." Doflamingo stopped and spoke in a mocking voice.
"You're stopping me now. Do you want to continue your boring revenge drama, or do you want to come with me?"
Violet—Viola, the former royal princess of Dressrosa, still stood firmly before them.
"You occupied Dressrosa, and now you have the responsibility of being king! Now that disaster is imminent, are you going to abandon it like a coward?!"
"Fufu, Viola, you are becoming more and more naive." Doflamingo didn't intend to waste any more time talking to her.
He knew very well that every island where Yale appeared would disappear, and given the current situation, there was obviously no time to waste.
It seems that Viola intends to stay and live with this island.
Doflamingo simply used the power of the String-String Fruit to attack Viola, and then passed by the fallen Viola without mercy.
Viola's body was covered with wounds caused by fine wire cuts.
The blood that flowed out, although not fatal, made her lose the ability to move.
Doflamingo still has some feelings for her.
This emotion made him keep his composure when he took action, so that he would not kill Viola directly.
But that's all. As an extreme egoist and realist, survival and realizing ambitions are Doflamingo's top priorities.
Any emotional entanglement must give way to this when it comes to life and death.
Viola stretched out her hand but failed to grab Doflamingo. The continuous flow of blood quickly made her lose the last bit of strength to lift her arm.
She watched her outstretched hand fall to the ground, and a metal boot appeared out of thin air next to her limp fingertips.
"Ah~ What good luck! New emotional data can enrich my collection."
When Viola was in a daze, she heard these words.
The other person's tone was relaxed and comfortable, which reminded her of the beautiful sunny flower field.
She tried to raise her eyes and look at the person passing by.
Unfortunately, she didn't see the other person's face clearly, only the bright red and swaying golden light.
