"Protect the Fleet Admiral!"
The Marines on the warship, led by their Vice Admirals,
abandoned all fear of death.
"You are not worthy of disturbing our Captain's mood." Hancock strode forward with her long legs, blocking all the Marines.
Her arrogant gaze swept over the Marines.
A terrifying Conqueror's Haki roared forth.
Most of the Marines' eyes glazed over, and they fell down in droves.
"Conqueror's Haki?"
Once again, the sea was shaken.
"There's another woman who possesses Conqueror's Haki." Big Mom opened her gaping maw in surprise.
On the sea,
the only known woman to possess Conqueror's Haki was her.
She was unique.
Now, a second one had appeared.
"Just how many strong individuals does the Sun and Moon Pirates have?" Big Mom couldn't help but voice this question.
The three who were surrounding Sengoku, including Gion,
any one of them, even Big Mom, wouldn't dare to underestimate.
She had originally thought
that they were all the Sun and Moon Pirates' reserves.
Now, another Hancock, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, had appeared.
Big Mom's bloodshot eyes were now crimson with envy.
She looked at her own children with some disdain.
You are all just a bunch of good-for-nothings.
"Not good, quickly tell Katakuri and them to come back, get back here!"
...
Others were already numb.
They had received too many shocks today.
"Mr. Kevin, is there anything you need my help with?"
Jinbe and Tyrant Kuma both looked at Kevin with slightly lowered heads.
"If you two are interested, go and block the Marines. Don't let them get onto the island. For now, I don't need your help with killing Sengoku." Kevin looked at them.
Relying on Hancock alone
was still a bit difficult.
After all, her opponents were nearly ten Vice Admirals, along with many other officers.
"Alright."
Jinbe and Tyrant Kuma both rushed towards the shore simultaneously.
With three people there.
The Marines can't help Sengoku.
Sengoku is completely isolated on an island with no support.
Doflamingo, who is on the island, feels awkward, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
He secretly observes Kevin with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
"What is going on, and is it related to me?"
"Is it a good thing?"
"Or a bad thing?"
His heart is uneasy.
This kind of trepidation, like a prey on a chopping block waiting to be slaughtered, Doflamingo had only experienced in his early childhood.
The invisible pressure makes him sweat profusely.
"Buruburu—"
The telephone transponder snail connects.
"Are you ready?" Kevin asks.
"Everything is ready."
After receiving the answer, Kevin looks at the visual telephone transponder snail held by Betty, and facing the whole world, he says, "The Shichibukai, they are not qualified to appear."
"Ridiculous, even if this old man dies in battle, the Shichibukai will definitely be established."
Sengoku hears this and can't help but roar in anger.
Although the Shichibukai made Sengoku very angry today, making him wish he could kill all of them, this is the will of the World Government.
It must be completed.
Especially because you, Kevin, said so, then we must establish it. At worst, we will replace the people and give them more privileges.
Kevin ignores Sengoku.
"Switch the channel to A1623."
Kevin tells everyone to change channels.
Those who have the conditions and more than two screens immediately obey Kevin's command, change channels, wanting to see what Kevin wants to show them.
After changing channels, an old face appears on the screen.
"Is that King Riku?" Many kings look at King Riku on the screen in surprise.
"Didn't he die?"
"It's the Dressrosa Kingdom."
The background is instantly identified by everyone.
The former king of Dressrosa, King Riku, is still alive and has appeared in Dressrosa.
No words are needed.
Everyone understands that it's not a small matter.
Doflamingo blinks, his pupils contracting sharply.
He doesn't just feel something is wrong; he knows something is wrong.
"This old man is King Riku. I believe many people in the sea know this old man." King Riku says to the visual telephone transponder snail, "This old man is a sinner. This old man did not protect the Dressrosa Kingdom well. This old man is at fault."
King Riku kneels to his citizens and apologizes.
"No, King Riku, you and us, we were all deceived by that villain Doflamingo."
"It was all his conspiracy."
The sound boils over.
The voices of countless citizens gathered together spread throughout the world.
"King Riku isn't a sinner? Wasn't he abandoned by his citizens? Why is he so deeply loved by everyone now?"
"What exactly happened in Dressrosa?"
"What's the inside story?"
Everyone's attention is drawn.
King Riku calms his citizens and then, facing the whole world, clearly narrates everything from beginning to end: from Doflamingo's sudden visit, demanding ten billion Berries from King Riku as a Shichibukai and as a descendant of Dressrosa's royal family from eight hundred years ago.
King Riku, having no other choice, could only choose to pay.
Ten billion Berries was too much, so King Riku could only temporarily seek it from his citizens.
Then, Doflamingo used his ability to control King Riku's body and massacre the citizens.
"Yes, Doflamingo has this ability. He just controlled the Marines."
Everyone saw it just now.
It's true.
Doflamingo's face is as dark as water.
If he had known that his casual show-off earlier would become irrefutable evidence, he would have wished he could chop off his own fingers.
I'm panicking. What happened to Dressrosa? Where are my family members?
The most shocking thing was the exposure of Sugar's ability.
Countless people who had been turned into toys previously were now righteously indignant, recounting Doflamingo's evil deeds.
All the truth came to light.
All the logical conspiracies, Doflamingo's darkness, were revealed to the world.
Doflamingo was terrified.
It's over.
"All of this is because Doflamingo is a Shichibukai. The World Government and the Marines will protect him, acting as his umbrella. He can invade the Dressrosa Kingdom at will. He is not the first, and he will certainly not be the last. The existence of the Shichibukai is useless; it only brings harm... In the future, there will constantly be Shichibukai brazenly occupying our countries and slaughtering our citizens."
King Riku's voice spread across the sea.
It had the greatest impact on the kings of other affiliated nations.
Everything that happened in Dressrosa could very well happen to them in the future.
"No, we absolutely cannot agree to the establishment of the Shichibukai."
"As we just saw, when faced with a powerful figure like Kevin, the Shichibukai are useless. They won't help the Marines; instead, they will threaten us."
"Let's protest to the World Government together. I don't believe the World Government would dare ignore the voices of all our affiliated nations."
This concerned them directly.
The kings of the affiliated nations could not remain indifferent.
The voices of one or two affiliated nations could be ignored by the World Government.
But ten, dozens, or even all of them?
Even the Gorosei wouldn't dare act recklessly.
The affiliated nations are the foundation of the World Government's control over the world. If the foundation is shaken, it's a huge crisis.
"Doflamingo, that good-for-nothing!" The Gorosei cursed Doflamingo.
Useless.
"What? This isn't real." Sengoku was momentarily stunned, taking a few more punches.
His heart turned cold.
It's over.
The Shichibukai system was stillborn.
It was over on the day it was established, the fastest dying force in the sea.
As for how much criticism the World Government and the Marines would endure, and how much their prestige would drop, Sengoku no longer had the courage to think about it.
"Sengoku, do you think the Shichibukai can still be established?" Kevin looked at Sengoku playfully.
Sengoku was speechless.
The Shichibukai's reputation was already ruined.
Re-establishing it would not only be ineffective but would also shake the World Government's foundation.
"Oh, Captain, Sengoku said earlier that you have a terrible personality, are ungrateful, and everything you do is to get revenge on the Marines." On the other end of the telephone transponder snail, Nico Robin told Kevin everything she had seen earlier.
Kevin and his Pirate Crew were on their way and didn't know what Sengoku had said earlier.
