One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

After all, if Doflamingo can be captured, the so-called Donquixote Family will fall apart in the blink of an eye.

"Tsuru, you are becoming more and more impressive. It is unbelievable that a famous vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters would actually lay a hand on two children."

Doflamingo, who had formed a shield from all bullets by condensing threads, couldn't help but start taunting as soon as he landed on the warship.

However, the crane remained unmoved. "I am just trying to save two children who are about to go astray, and prevent them from going further down the evil path."

"Fufufufufu, rescue? I'm afraid that's unnecessary. They'll come to me on their own, wanting to join the Don Quixote family. I should thank you for that."

"It was your navy that pushed them towards me! Pushed them towards the 'evil' you speak of!"

Doflamingo spread his arms wide, his laughter filled with mockery.

He frowned slightly. Although she didn't know what had happened to the child, she could hear the sarcasm in the other person's tone.

Perhaps there really is something going on behind the scenes.

After all, the navy has a large number of personnel, and corrupt officials and bad apples can never be completely eradicated.

Some branches, located far from the central command, have become even more ruthless and vicious than some pirates.

Therefore, over the years, there have been some people who hate the Navy for various reasons and then embark on the path of piracy and other crimes.

Crane has always been aware of these problems, but he doesn't have any good solutions.

We can sympathize, but we will never tolerate it!

Perhaps the child was forced to join the evil Don Quixote Family because of the Navy's 'negligence' or some other reason, but that is by no means a reason for her to sit idly by.

In fact, her desire to bring the other person back to the right path became even stronger.

"Perhaps what you said is true, and perhaps our navy does make mistakes, but we will face these mistakes squarely, make amends, and correct them."

"Now is the time for us to correct the mistakes we made before."

"Donquixote Doflamingo, you're not getting away today."

The 60-year-old Crane suddenly unleashed a powerful aura that even made Doflamingo change color!

However, Doflamingo was not easily intimidated. Since he dared to stay here to buy time, he naturally had enough confidence in his own strength.

"Stop talking nonsense, old woman! I'd like to see what you can use to stop me!"

"Five colored thread!"

Doflamingo immediately took the initiative and fired the first shot of the battle.

……

On the Flamingo, Abel and Buffalo, having freed themselves from their entanglements, lay down on the deck to rest, exhausted.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Only if we get to a safe place first can the young master reduce the pressure and return as soon as possible."

"Those damned navy, we'll kill them all one day!"

Abel automatically filters out these sounds.

Using the Asura Aurora Slash three times in a row not only exhausted his physical strength but also made his head feel heavy.

But the good news is that he just received a system notification that the Asura Aurora Slash has unexpectedly been upgraded to LV2!

Besides the diligent practice during this period, Abel also guessed that this skill upgrade might be related to his understanding of swordsmanship from the White Yaksha.

In addition, Buffalo could have unleashed another Asura Aurora Slash before he was hit.

That was the [Magic Card: Asura Aurora Slash] that he recorded using a blank magic card.

However, given the circumstances at the time, even another strike would have been futile, so he chose not to reveal this ability.

"Now that Asura Aurora Slash has been upgraded to LV2, the Magic Card Modification is still at LV1 and can no longer be recorded. It seems that I still need to take the time to upgrade this skill as well. It might be able to play a surprising role at a critical moment."

Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was around, Abel carefully planned out the training content for the next session.

After an unknown amount of time, the Flamingo, moving at full speed, finally shook off the warships that were hot on its heels.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be that easy.

In terms of group battles, Doflamingo's strength was enough to hold off the Marines, preventing them from focusing on the Flamingo.

Then, after a while, a figure in the air quickly approached.

"The young master has returned!"

The Don Quixote family members were immediately invigorated, and a huge weight was finally lifted from their hearts.

Although they all had great confidence in Doflamingo, who was covering the rear.

But if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet; it's better to be safe than sorry.

If Doflamingo really fails and gets captured, then the Donquixote Family can just disband, and everyone can go their separate ways and return to their respective homes.

Although he returned safely, Doflamingo looked rather disheveled.

Not only was the pink feather coat half burned, but even the flashy sunglasses were smashed, leaving only the frame hanging on his nose.

The left side of his face was bruised and swollen, clearly from being punched.

There was also a bloody cut on his arm.

Not elegant at all!

Looking at Doflamingo's expression, his gloomy and angry look made everyone afraid to speak, for fear of being blamed.

At this point, Torrepol had to shout loudly, "Doctor, where's the doctor? Dover, quickly bandage the wound!"

"I'm fine, I was just careless for a moment. I didn't expect that old woman had several powerful female naval officers hidden around her, and I almost got caught."

"However, the consequences of angering me are not something that old woman can bear!"

Doflamingo sneered twice, clearly having suffered a loss, he immediately retaliated, and countless Marines died in the ensuing infighting.

Chapter Forty-Two Conversation

Blue blue blue~

Blue blue blue~

Card holder...

"Is that Xiaohe? The time she's contacting us means the arrest operation has yielded results."

In the Admiral's office at Naval Headquarters, a man with frog-like glasses, a long beard braided into a plait, and a seagull symbolizing the "Navy" on his military cap, with an afro hidden beneath the cap, smiled as he accepted a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).

This man was none other than the current supreme commander of the navy, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, known as the "Buddha Sengoku".

"Ah, that slippery kid got away again."

The sound of a crane came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"I see... That's really a headache."

"Perhaps there are even more troublesome things."

"No way, has Doflamingo contacted those Celestial Dragons again?"

"..."

"Haha, just kidding, go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

"What I'm going to talk about is a child..."

This time, Sengoku listened quietly to Tsuru's story, and his expression gradually became serious.

"A boy who is only about ten years old can already use flying slashes skillfully. He is indeed a rare swordsmanship genius. What a pity!"

The thought that such a promising talent might have been pushed into the Don Quixote family by the Navy's actions, leading him down an evil path, filled him with heartache and deep helplessness.

"Although I don't know where you get the information about the Donquixote Family that you always give me, I have a rough idea. Perhaps you could ask around and see if there's still a chance to salvage the situation, or at least try to keep them away from the Donquixote Family. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what that child will become in ten years—a swordsman? Or even a great swordsman? Do you really want the Navy to have another enemy like that?"

Crane's words were calm, yet they went straight to the heart of the matter.

A young genius is not scary; what is scary is a monster that has been carefully cultivated by evil forces!

Tsuru's intuition told her that if she didn't find a way to resolve the issue now, that boy might become an even more troublesome character than Doflamingo in the future.

Sengoku paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "In principle, I can't say anything, but I'll think of a way. Don't get your hopes up too high."

Regardless of what the future holds, his primary concern is ensuring the personal safety of the undercover agents.

Even if that boy were to become a major enemy of the Navy, as Tsuru had predicted, he would absolutely not allow 'that person' to take any risks.

Whether for public or private reasons, this is his decision, and he will never change it!

He sighed softly upon hearing this. "I hope you're right. I'll have someone send you the details of the operation later."

"You've worked hard. Take your men and rest for a while. Wait for my news."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Tsuru gazed at the bright sky and murmured to herself, "I hope I'm just being too sensitive. After all, this world is never short of geniuses, but very few can ultimately stand at the top of the ocean."

……

At the end of an alley in the port town of Spidamarus.

"Damn it, you're the one who made me miss this mission! Just you wait, when Doflamingo comes back, I'll expose you, you liar, and tell everyone that you can talk!"

Luo angrily kicked the trash can hard, and looked at Corazon with a completely unfriendly expression.

After all, he had waited so long, and he was finally able to kill people and take revenge on the world, but he was stopped by this bastard right before he was about to set off.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party covered up the fact that he had been stabbed and didn't expose him, he wouldn't have wanted to say a single word to this guy.

"Hello, hello, hello, mute it."

Corazon snapped his fingers, using the power of the Silent-Silent Fruit to prevent others from hearing their conversation, then leisurely smoked a cigarette, completely unconcerned about Law's threat.

Well, when Luo threatened him with this at first, he was still a little scared.

But in reality, Luo was just talking; if he wanted to inform on someone, he would have done so long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now. So Corazon was already at ease.

"Alright, there's no need to say such hurtful things anymore. I'm not letting you go for your own good; this mission will be very dangerous."

"I think being around you is the most dangerous thing. Please stay away from me when you're playing with fire and getting burned, okay?"
