Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

"Reporting, young master, a Celestial Dragon's luxury cruise ship is heading towards Golden Entertainment City, accompanied by Navy and CP organization vessels. This is bad, they've spotted us too..."

With Violet activating the far-sightedness ability of her Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, she quickly saw through the opponent's basic information.

However, the sea surface is curved, so once the lookout reaches a distance that the two sides can spot, it means that they are not far apart. Therefore, after the lookout alerted and spotted the other side, the Celestial Dragons' ships also spotted the Donquixote Family's ships at the same time.

"Celestial Dragons? How come they're here?" Shen Qing frowned immediately upon hearing that Celestial Dragons had appeared.

Previously, to prevent the Celestial Dragons from causing trouble, Shen Qing had Festa spread the word at sea that Barrett was going to kidnap a Celestial Dragon. He never expected that there would be a Celestial Dragon who was not afraid of death to show up here.

The appearance of the Celestial Dragons is never a good thing. Putting aside their own security forces, the CP organization and the Marine Admirals accompanying them are a huge variable that may affect the battle situation at Golden Entertainment City.

What Shen Qing didn't know was that he underestimated the gambling mentality. Gambling, prostitution, and drugs are three behaviors that can corrupt people's minds, and their power is not something that ordinary people can give up.

As a Celestial Dragon, Pullmingo Saint enjoyed endless wealth and luxury from birth, which made him feel very empty inside. That's why he got hooked on gambling after being exposed to it and became a complete gambler.

Meanwhile, on the Celestial Dragons' side, the lookout on the ship quickly relayed the news that the Donquixote Family pirate ship had been spotted ahead.

Upon hearing the name of the Don Quixote family, Saint Purminger suppressed his temper and sent someone to summon CP0 and Fujitora for a discussion.

As a Celestial Dragon, he naturally knew about Doflamingo's reputation and also knew that this guy was an unlucky fellow who was dragged down by his father's foolish actions, turning from a high-ranking Celestial Dragon into a commoner, a complete change in his status.

Doflamingo approached the Five Elders multiple times regarding his Celestial Dragon status and even sent people to persuade the Celestial Dragons to reinstate his status, but all his attempts were ultimately rejected.

The Celestial Dragons, who are high and mighty, are unwilling to see Doflamingo return to his Celestial Dragon status, since once he becomes a Celestial Dragon, he will gain the same rights as them and enjoy subsidies from the World Government.

With too many monks and too little meat, the World Government's annual budget is finite. If there's one more person, they'll get less. Nobody wants their interests to be harmed, so Doflamingo's repeated requests to reinstate the Celestial Dragons have all been rejected.

The reason why Saint Pullmingo sent people to find CP0 and Fujitora was because when Doflamingo sent people to persuade him, he swallowed a lot of benefits from them, not only did he not help, but he also kicked him when he was down, and fell out with Doflamingo.

After the battle in Dressrosa, although Saint Puming didn't know the specific details, he had heard that the Donquixote Family had displayed extremely strong fighting power. Even the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marine Admirals, and Kaido of the Beasts had all suffered defeats there. Therefore, encountering the Donquixote Family now made him somewhat worried.

Soon, Fujitora, Guernica, and the others returned to the deck of Saint Puminger. "Greetings, Saint Puminger..."

"You all know the news, right? The Donquixote Family Pirates have been spotted on the road leading to the Golden Entertainment City. What do you all think we should do?" Saint Purming concealed his grudge against the Donquixote Family and asked the group calmly.

"The Donquixote Family? A mere former Shichibukai who has been deposed is not worth worrying about at all. I wonder what you are worried about, sir? Is there something different about the Donquixote Family?" Gismonda asked in surprise.

As members of CP0, they have always aimed at pirate crews of the Four Emperors level or rebellious organizations like the Revolutionary Army, and have never taken the Shichibukai level of powerhouses seriously.

He was naturally unaware that Saint Purming had embezzled the Don Quixote family's money, which is why he was worried about being targeted by them.

"Ahem, this Saint naturally wouldn't take the insignificant Don Quixote family seriously. I just happened to see them, so I came to ask you out of caution." Saint Pulming coughed, trying his best to conceal his thoughts.

Little did he know that the more he acted this way, the more the people opposite him noticed something amiss.

Although the CP0 members noticed Puminge Saint's unusual behavior, they still didn't take the Donquixote Family seriously. As the saying goes, they were arrogant and considered themselves to be on par with the Four Emperors, not taking the Donquixote Family seriously.

Compared to the calm demeanor of the CP0 members, Fujitora frowned slightly. Upon hearing that the Donquixote Family had appeared, he instinctively thought of Shen Qing and the powerful figures accompanying him.

The CP0 members were unaware of the Donquixote Family's hidden true strength. As a witness to the entire Dressrosa battle, he knew everything about them and recognized them as a force not to be underestimated.

He was already unwilling to be a guard on this trip, and CP0 and Puminge Saint had just decided to go and rescue Tesoro without giving him a chance to express his opinion. So Fujitora hesitated for a moment and chose to remain silent and wait for the other party's choice.

“Since you’re not worried about the Donquixote Family, I suggest we take this opportunity to wipe them out…” Gismonda said with a grin.

The CP organization also needs to accumulate merits. If they can wipe out the Don Quixote family, it would be a significant achievement. Moreover, they have long heard that the Don Quixote family is very wealthy. If they eliminate them, they will definitely gain a lot of benefits.

"No, cough cough, I mean rescuing Tesoro is the priority. Let's not create unnecessary trouble. If Tesoro dies, we'll lose 10 billion Berries. Compared to 10 billion Berries, what is the Donquixote family? Let's not lose sight of the bigger picture and suffer a greater loss."

Gismonda was about to say something, but Guernica stopped him with a wave of his hand. He noticed something amiss from Pulming Saint's strange behavior and guessed that the Donquixote Family was different from the information they had previously received. "Since you say so, sir, let's just go around to the side, avoid the Donquixote Family, and go directly to rescue Tezzolo."

When Saint Purming heard that CP0 had changed its mind, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Even if there was only a one in ten chance of danger, he was unwilling to take the risk. He was a noble Celestial Dragon, how could he be as reckless as a commoner?

As long as he's alive, he'll have a high status and endless riches to enjoy, so why take the risk?
