New World.
Dressrosa.
After driving away the last batch of Dressrosa citizens who came to thank him, Atlas fell into deep thought.
Under the command of Kyros and a group of ministers, Dressrosa has now entered into a full-scale renovation project, but the country cannot live without a king for a day.
'I wonder if the Marines and the World Government have received the news?'
Dressrosa is one of the World Government's affiliated countries, and it is also one of the sources of heavenly tribute that maintains the high consumption of Celestial Dragons.
Given the nature of the World Government, they would definitely want to interfere and get a share of the pie.
Atlas would never believe that they don't want it, even to death.
"Brother Atlas, several kings from surrounding countries have requested to come and see you!"
After sending the Dressrosa citizens away in an orderly manner, Smoker quickly walked forward and reported loudly.
"Surrounding countries?"
"The leader is Elizabello II, King of the Prodence Kingdom."
"Elizabello II?"
Atlas couldn't help but rub his chin, searching for limited memories in his mind.
It seems like this guy knows some kind of King Punch? It is said that as long as you give him time, he can defeat a Yonko with one punch?
Of course, Atlas sneered at this statement.
Put aside the extremely long charging time.
In the world of pirates, powerful power often requires a strong body to carry it.
It is estimated that before he has accumulated enough power, he will probably explode and die.
"What's wrong with him?"
Shaking his head to get rid of the complicated thoughts in his mind, Atlas asked.
"He said that he has a very good relationship with King Riku. He heard about what happened to Dressrosa and came here to thank you."
"If Dressrosa falls into the hands of pirates like Doflamingo, the surrounding countries will fall into endless war."
"No! Tell him I have something to do."
Atlas refused outright.
He was tired of socializing and all that.
"Okay! I'll tell him right now."
Smoker agreed directly without thinking.
"Wait!"
Atlas stopped Smoker, who was about to leave, and said meaningfully: "Tell them that Doflamingo was killed by Kyros himself."
"Yes!"
Just when Smoker took off his front foot.
Pere~Pere~Pere~Pere!!
There was a rapid buzz from the Den Den Mushi.
Atlas touched his pocket and picked up the receiver skillfully, "Moshi moshi, this is Hakuryu."
"Moshi moshi! I'm Sengoku."
"Is something wrong, old man Sengoku?"
Atlas asked lazily.
When did the Marines become so well-informed? As soon as he finished dealing with Patrick Redfield, Sengoku called immediately.
"Where are you now?"
"Dressrosa, what's wrong?"
"..."
Sengoku's face froze on the other end of the line.
When did this brat go to Dressrosa again? Didn't he just defeat Bullet?
Shouldn't he be taking a good rest at the base right now?
"You did a good job killing Bullet..."
It seemed like he had been holding it in for a long time before Sengoku said this.
"Huh? Didn't you call me because of Redfield?"
"...Redfield?"
Sengoku was a bit confused.
When did you get involved with Redfield again?
"Oh, I happened to meet Redfield just now, and I beat him to death."
"Oh that's it—?! Beat him to death?"
Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and then his expression management gradually lost control.
That's the Red Count!
Why did he end up in Impel Down?
In a duel with Kong, he narrowly won, but was taken advantage of by Garp who came from behind.
He is currently the only recorded pirate who single-handedly defeated a Marine Fleet Admiral!
And now you just said you killed him so lightly?
"Yeah! Also, King Riku of Dressrosa was killed by Doflamingo. What should we do next? Should we consult those five old men?"
"..."
A series of shocking information caused Sengoku's brain to almost shut down, but fortunately, his Devil Fruit still has a good effect on brain expansion.
He quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "You take care of Dressrosa's affairs first, and I'll go to Mariejois."
————
Mariejois.
Pangaea Castle.
Room of Authority.
The Five Elders all had different expressions, but without exception, they all focused their attention on a document on the central table.
The five old men looked at each other, and Saint Saturn, who had a black hat and white hair, slowly said, "Doflamingo... is dead!"
Shocking!
But there was no look of surprise on the faces of the other four.
Obviously, the World Government had already received the news from the Marines.
"Who gave the Marines the courage to kill Doflamingo, who was once a Celestial Dragon? Even if he was a Celestial Dragon expelled from the Holy Land, the Marines should not be the ones to deal with it!"
The bald Saint Warcury stroked his beard and shouted sharply.
Saint Saturn pondered for a moment and said:
"It wasn't Hakuryu who took action himself, it was Dressrosa's former army commander Kyros."
"Furthermore, you should be able to tell from the last time that Mjosgard was brought back safely that Hakuryu is still loyal to the World Government."
"Indeed, and..."
The yellow-haired Saint Ju Peter took over, "Doflamingo, this guy, should have died a long time ago. If we hadn't been worried that the secret he held would be leaked, we would have sent CP to assassinate him."
The identity of the former Celestial Dragon alone is not enough to make the five of them fearful.
Just because Doflamingo challenged their bottom line again and again was enough for them to kill him a hundred times.
"It happened so suddenly, and this kid from the Donquixote Family was so restless!"
Long-haired, long-bearded Saint Mars also said:
"How should the problem of Dressrosa be solved now? King Riku died at the hands of Doflamingo. Who should inherit the throne of the king?"
"This is indeed a headache. Why not let his daughter inherit the throne?"
Saint Saturn suggested.
"Daughter? Can the surrounding affiliated countries agree?" Saint Ju Peter frowned.
The World Government is not like the United Nations in Atlas's previous life. They have extremely high autonomy and can forcibly interfere with the heirs of a country.
Of course, it is stated that the opinions of other affiliated countries must be taken into consideration.
"In that case! How about I recommend a candidate to you?"
Sengoku's voice came from the door.
Sengoku had already spoken with the Five Elders before the meeting.
So they were not surprised at all by Sengoku's arrival.
"Who?"
