"Dover, should we escape?"
Trebol asked hopelessly, looking at a pensive Doflamingo.
"Fufufufufu... What... Trebol, if this 'walking Disaster' is targeting us, we won't be able to escape."
Doflamingo didn't blame Trebol for his weakness but smiled with a hint of malevolence, explaining slowly, "Cross Kahn, he's a Zoan Dragon Fruit user. This Devil Fruit not only grants the body of a mythical beast but also its superpowers."
"And his power is telekinesis."
"This power is similar to 'Golden Lion' Shiki's Paramecia Float-Float Fruit. It can control not only inanimate objects but also living ones. His telekinesis can even enhance his Observation Haki. According to reports, when Cross Kahn fought a Marine Admiral, he used telekinesis to lift the sea around the archipelago, causing a massive flood."
"In other words, his perception range is at least level 25 of the island."
"And..."
Doflamingo paused briefly before continuing, "Beside him, there's a Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit user whose speed rivals the Logia Glint-Glint Fruit."
"From the moment they landed, we've been within his perception range, even his attack range."
Doflamingo's tone grew more serious as he finished.
After listening to his analysis, Trebol's face turned pale, and his legs trembled slightly.
"Excellent, indeed, one of the smartest guys in the Pirate World."
Kahn, who had overheard Doflamingo's words, gave a thumbs up in his heart.
To affirm Doflamingo's analysis, Kahn took action.
A wave of blue telekinetic energy suddenly appeared, covering Kahn, Doflamingo, and Trebol.
Immediately, Doflamingo and Trebol's faces changed dramatically.
They realized that after the blue telekinetic wave covered them, they lost control of their bodies and were imprisoned in place.
No matter how hard he struggled, Doflamingo couldn't break free from this powerful binding force.
To make a lasting impression on Doflamingo, Kahn put in a bit more effort and used a little more energy.
The small amount of strength from a mythical beast was enough to make Doflamingo, still trapped in North Blue, feel powerless and hopeless.
Though Doflamingo awakened Conqueror's Haki at age eight, he hadn't yet mastered it. He also hadn't fully mastered Armament Haki or Observation Haki, and his Conqueror's Haki was ineffective.
This was evident from the fact that Doflamingo shot and killed Corazon but didn't find the box where Corazon had hidden Trafalgar Law.
The Paramecia Calm-Calm Fruit can create a soundproof wall, making it impossible for people inside to hear outside sounds and vice versa. But Observation Haki can sense the position, size, and even strength of breaths.
Unique perceptions like Kahn's and Hancock's are akin to the perspective of God, allowing them to eavesdrop on conversations and read minds.
Without mastering Conqueror's Haki or possessing the power of the Paramecia String-String Fruit, Doflamingo was just like the West Blue agents and guards protecting the Celestial Dragons in Kahn's eyes.
Kahn could kill them all with a thought.
After exerting all his strength and failing to break free from the shackles, Doflamingo's mood sank to the bottom.
Is this the difference between him and the Great Pirates of the New World?
It must be too vast!
Even Doflamingo couldn't break free from the shackles of telekinesis, let alone fight Kahn.
Aside from moving his eyeballs, Trebol couldn't even open his mouth, only managing a whining sound.
After suppressing Doflamingo from a distance, Kahn asked Robin to take Scarlett and her sister to this small town while he himself headed to the "Donquixote Family" stronghold.
Hearing this, Robin knew Kahn must have serious business to attend to, so she took them away without asking any questions and without giving Scarlett a chance to express her doubts.
After parting from Robin and his daughters, Kahn soon arrived at a villa.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wherever he went, the "Donquixote Family" members or cadres, whether outside or inside, fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.
This included Senor Pink.
In front of Kahn's Conqueror's Haki, these formidable North Blue fighters were no different from ordinary people.
While stunning these guys, Kahn squatted down, reached out to touch them and read their memories using his superior Observation Haki.
Through Senor Pink and others' memories, Kahn got good news.
Monet and Sugar had not yet joined the "Donquixote Family".
Obviously, Doflamingo had not yet acquired the powers of the Logia Snow-Snow Fruit user or the Paramecia Hobby-Hobby Fruit user.
Not only Monet and Sugar but even Baby 5 had not yet joined the "Donquixote Family".
Kahn vaguely remembered that Baby 5 and Buffalo were among the one hundred children taken in by the "Donquixote Family".
These two became members of the "Donquixote Family" not much earlier than Law.
When Law joined the "Donquixote Family" in Sea Circle Calendar 1506, it was three years later.
In other words, Baby 5 would only become a member of the "Donquixote Family" in the next three years, while Monet and Sugar would take even longer.
Thinking of this, Kahn's mood brightened even more.
In a few years, when the "Cross Family" had established a firm foothold in the New World, he must take some time to come over, look for Monet and Sugar, and perhaps intercept the so-called ultimate Devil Fruit—Paramecia Op-Op Fruit.
