It serves to show the Marines that the reputation of the Donquixote Family is not something anyone can trample upon!
"The Heavenly Yaksha," Doflamingo, is a ruthless, cunning, and wicked individual!
"Don't inform Zephyr about this. I'm afraid he will blame himself."
"Understood…"
Tsuru nodded, her expression filled with melancholy.
"What I'm most worried about is Rowen…"
"If the G10 Branch is destroyed or suffers heavy losses, what will he…"
"Hiss!" Sengoku's eyes widened when he thought about what Rowen may do and he took in a sharp breath.
"Where is Kuma?! And Aokiji is also outside, right?! Have them rush to the G10 Branch immediately and stop Rowen!"
…
The drawback of inconvenient transportation is the slow transmission of information, which is the biggest disadvantage of the One Piece world. Even with Den Den Mushi, it is still ineffective.
Because Den Den Mushi is a living creature, not an artificial device, it is easily restricted by the environment.
The harsh environment of Sky Island makes it challenging to use Den Den Mushi.
Since Tsuru set foot on the Sky Island, it took the Marine Scientific Force a full half year to develop an auxiliary device that allows Den Den Mushi to adapt to the climate of the Sky Island and function normally.
For ordinary Den Den Mushi, going from sea level to over ten thousand meters in the sky, hibernation is the only thing they can do.
Thus, various coincidences intertwined to create the current situation.
"FuFuFuFuFu! It seems like Drake has caused you Marines quite a bit of trouble!"
The entire harbor fell silent as a sinister laugh echoed out from above.
In the sky, Doflamingo stepped on his sky road with a wicked smile on his face.
"Doflamingo!!!"
Dante and Drake, engaged in battle, both froze, their foreheads drenched in cold sweat. Even ordinary soldiers from the Four Seas branches had heard of the name Doflamingo in this sea!
Once a Celestial Dragon!
Now a Shichibukai!
To them, Doflamingo was not just a simple pirate, but a superior being they could never lay a hand on! Even for the grave crime of abducting the Heavenly Tribute, the Marines were helpless against him!
Damn it!
Why would Doflamingo appear here?!
Dante clenched his teeth in frustration, discreetly glancing towards the fortress.
Inside the office, Rowen's hand trembled slightly as he held the tea, his expression silent, resembling that of a Husky.
"He actually came down?!"
Rowen's Kenbunshoku Haki had a wide coverage in its normal state due to his Devil Fruit, but in terms of height, three thousand meters in the sky was its detection limit. Only by expanding the waves upwards could he explore greater distances.
However, three thousand meters was enough for him to detect and evade danger in advance, and it also allowed him to assess the situation. When Doflamingo appeared within his perceptual range, laughing manically, Rowen immediately sensed his presence.
Of all the people, Rowen was the most bewildered by Doflamingo's descent along the white line.
He thought Doflamingo was just passing by, after all, he was stationed there, and was not afraid of any trouble from the other party.
But unexpectedly, the other party directly descended to the ground and appeared on the battlefield where Dante and Drake were fighting… It was disheartening.
"The newcomer doesn't seem friendly!"
Rowen's paused hand continued to move upward, bringing the tea to his lips for a sip as he thought before speaking to Dante.
"Pretend I'm not here and let him… put on a show…"
Dante heard Rowen's instructions in his ear.
…
On the battlefield, Dante remained silent, but deep down, he was already cursing up a storm.
"Just pretend you're not here? How the hell can I pretend you're not here?!!"
I'm not an idiot!
Wait a minute…
Suddenly, Dante remembered something and glanced strangely at the "Fool" beside him… Drake.
It seems that Rowen… can really "not be here"!
Isn't this a fresh example?
Realizing this, Dante tightened his focus and shouted toward Doflamingo in the sky, "Doflamingo! Although you're an Oka Shichibukai, it seems you don't have the right to trespass on the G-10 branch without permission, right?"
"I will report this matter to Vice Admiral Rowen and Fleet Admiral Sengoku. It would be best for you to leave quickly! Otherwise…"
Dante's words left no loopholes for anyone. Since the Shichibukai openly pledged allegiance to the World Government, then everyone should abide by certain rules.
The "G" series branches represented the Marine Headquarters in the sea, serving as the hub of all Marine Activities! If the Shichibukai's status allowed them to come and go as they pleased, and if something went wrong, then no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
Above the sky, Doflamingo nonchalantly walked along the white line and his eyes flickered with a strange light as he heard Dante's words.
"Report to…," which means Rowen really isn't at the branch?
Immediately, Doflamingo grinned menacingly.
"Fufufufufu! Oye Oye, Lieutenant Commander, there's no need to speak so harshly!"
"I am a Shichibukai who belongs to the same camp as you! I heard that the renegade Marine Drake appeared here, so I rushed over here to give you my assistance as an ally!"
Doflamingo's words sounded polite, but as he spoke, his own Haoshoku Haki subtly began to emanate from his body! Without any visible movement, the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
A terrifying mix of Killing Intentions and Haki spread out, causing the Marine soldiers present, including Dante, to feel a momentary lapse in their mental defenses! It was as if, in that instant, they all saw their own demise!
That overwhelming dominance, like an abyss, exuded panic and withering among the crowd!
Facing Doflamingo, a notorious pirate of the current era, Drake and Dante momentarily took half a step back, relying on their own convictions to remain standing. But the other Marine soldiers on the battlefield weren't so fortunate. They could only hear a series of "Pū Tōng" sounds as soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
"Doflamingo! What are you doing?!!"
Dante forced himself to gather his willpower as he watched this scene with anger burning in his eyes. However, there was a hint of cunning in the corner of his eyes that wasn't easily noticeable.
