The atmosphere in the enormous palace of Dressrosa was somewhat oppressive.
"Fallen Angel" Cavendish?"
He held a wanted poster in his hand. It was clearly Cavendish's, with a bounty of 130 million Berries.
On it was the guy deliberately using his ability to create black wings, specially having someone take a picture and send it to the Marines.
"Fufufufu~~~"
Doflamingo chuckled, his eyes filled with thick killing intent. "He sent his photo to the Marines. He's really a show-off brat. It's just a pity there's no one else called 'Fujitora'..."
These past few days.
His face had been grim, and he was in a bad mood.
It wasn't because he couldn't seize Caesar Clown. It had been over a year since he suffered a great loss at Vinsmoke Judge's hands. He was once again exploited by an unknown grunt who appeared out of nowhere, leaving the usually arrogant Doflamingo somewhat resentful and unwilling. He couldn't help but begin to re-examine himself.
"Doffy, this is 'Six Powers' given to me by Vegapunk." Diez Barrels, who had just secretly met with G-5 branch's Vergo, hurried back. He walked into the somewhat dim hall and said in a low voice to Doflamingo, who was quietly sitting in front of a sand table.
"Give it to me!"
Doflamingo's face was grim. He took the manual handed to him by Diez Barrels.
Having suffered successive losses in air combat, if he didn't know how to compensate for his deficiencies, then he wouldn't be Trafalgar Law.
Although he wouldn't abandon his Devil Fruit ability, he specifically practiced all Six Powers and wholeheartedly delved into taijutsu. However, he had already decided to master "Moonwalk" among the Six Powers, to break free from the embarrassment of having to rely on clouds to float in the future.
Just like a few nights ago, if he had mastered "Moonwalk," he probably wouldn't have needed to follow.
"Moshi, Moshi~~~"
The Transponder Snail on the table suddenly opened its eyes and started to cry out.
"Moshi Moshi, this is Doflamingo..." Trafalgar Law immediately answered the Transponder Snail and picked up the receiver.
"Trafalgar Law, it's me, Gild Tesoro..."
The Transponder Snail mimicked a face with golden earrings, looking a bit bloated.
"Fufufufu, you guy actually called me specifically. I heard your casino is thriving, making tens of thousands of gold a day..."
Doflamingo said with a hint of sarcasm.
This Gild Tesoro had once caused chaos in his auction house, snatching away the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Gold-Gold Fruit, which he originally didn't intend to auction but used to attract customers.
When he found this guy again and confirmed it was Gild Tesoro who had snatched the Gold-Gold Fruit back then, this guy already had considerable combat power. Because his strength had been eaten by the other party, he put aside his past hatred and became a business partner.
He hadn't expected this guy's ability to reach the "Awakening" stage in just a few years, completely breaking free from his reliance on himself. He even built the Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city.
More recently, he even bribed the Celestial Dragons with a large sum of money, allowing this giant ship, tens of thousands of meters long, to become an independent country recognized by the World Government and a non-militarized zone. Even the World Government's "Absolute Sanctuary" couldn't easily interfere.
And now, Gild Tesoro was even called the "Golden Emperor" by many people. He seemed to be equal to himself and no longer feared himself.
"Hmph, stop with the sarcasm. Recently, Blackbeard and Crocodile, two Warlords of the Sea, formed an alliance and swept through pirate forces in the first half of the New World, causing quite a stir... Gild Tesoro said calmly, "Don't you have any thoughts on this?"
"Fufufufu, so it was for this..."
He directly raised an eyebrow. Doflamingo couldn't help but gnash his teeth and say with a cold sneer, "You guy are really as agile as a dog. You actually knew I was trying to ally with them!"
...
And at this time.
In a certain sea area of the New World.
A huge ship, tens of thousands of meters long, so enormous it was somewhat exaggerated, was slowly advancing, pulled by two giant turtles.
Above it, Hosen shone, golden and brilliant, exquisitely beautiful, truly a gigantic palace.
This was the Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city, and also an independent country recognized by the World Government!
Magnificent and luxurious, the grand hall was splendidly decorated.
"Hmph, truly a difficult guy to deal with. He has quite the nerve..." He put down the Transponder Snail. The "Golden Emperor" Gild Tesoro couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
His grayish-green hair was slicked back. He wore purple sunglasses and a pink suit with several white stripes. He looked more like a celebrity artist than the head of the world's largest entertainment city.
"Gild Tesoro, those two brats have already lost a billion Berries..." A man with a large head and small body, wearing a police uniform, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Their luck is really too bad. I really didn't expect them to lose so much."
On the enlarged surveillance screen, two figures were sitting at a gambling table, their eyes wide. They were Capone Bege and Eustass Kid, who had just left Punk Hazard.
"They've almost lost all the money they brought. Do we need to lend them money?"
"Those two brats from Geralma 66?"
He habitually stroked the gold ring on his left hand. Gild Tesoro leaned back on the sofa, eyes squinting, and said, "Even Doflamingo lost to that Vinsmoke Judge. Although he's not afraid of him, there's no need to provoke Geralma for no reason..."
"It is said that a few days ago, Eustass Kidd, with a bounty of 300 million Berries, was captured by these two brothers. Hundreds of people from Eustass Kidd's pirate group were annihilated. Captain Eustass Kidd and his subordinates directly paid them money to redeem themselves and get their bounty..."
Mr. Tanaka pointed at the two young faces on the surveillance screen and said somewhat playfully, "I estimate this billion was all obtained by these two inexperienced pirates hunting pirates. It's all contributed to us! Hehehe~~~"
"This family is indeed full of monsters. Each one is stronger than the last. Gild Tesoro stood up and walked directly outside, chuckling coldly as he went. "Their luck is just terrible. To lose a billion in less than two days!""
"Hehehe~~~"
