"Doffy, are we really going to work with the Navy on this?" Trebol asked, feeling uncertain.
"If we do this, it'll put a lot of restrictions on our actions!"
"We'll be restricted, but we'll also gain power," Doflamingo replied. "As long as we get their recognition, we can do many things openly."
"Fuffuffuffu…"
…
At this moment, the three were back on their warship.
"Mr. Issho, do you have something you'd like to ask me?" Yeyin asked calmly, sitting leisurely.
"Why are we working with such a notorious pirate?"
"And just for trash?" Issho asked, confused.
He could understand if Yeyin wanted to arm his forces with weapons, but this...?
"Do you know Doflamingo's previous identity?" Yeyin said calmly.
"Please enlighten me, sir," Issho said, sitting up straight.
"The Donquixote Family—Doflamingo didn't just make that name up!"
"Originally, they were one of the twenty founding families, the Donquixote Family!"
"Donquixote Homing Saint willingly gave up his Celestial Dragon status, and then…"
Yeyin began explaining the hidden history of this world to Issho.
"You mean, his goal is to reclaim his Celestial Dragon status?" Issho asked, still confused.
But even so, it didn't explain Yeyin's reason for working with Doflamingo!
"He may still harbor that ambition now."
"But currently, his goal is to become the king of the underworld!"
"He needs a legitimate identity, and I need trash!"
"Most importantly, with a legitimate status, at least on the surface, this world will have one less criminal."
Yeyin explained.
Hearing this, Issho seemed to understand a bit more.
Yet at the same time, he felt like he understood nothing at all.
However, since he had chosen to follow Yeyin, he wouldn't question Yeyin's decisions.
At least, so far, Yeyin hadn't done anything disappointing.
…
Five days later, two fast ships arrived with two warships.
Unfortunately, no significant figures were on board.
Being forced by Zephyr to deliver trash was bad enough.
Having to deliver warships to Yeyin felt like a double nightmare!
Even Rear Admiral Sarlok, who was in charge of escorting the warships, stopped tens of miles away.
After receiving the warships, Yeyin made some arrangements for the island and then departed.
As for Doflamingo, he left the day after.
After all, having someone come by to collect trash three times a day—without any way to refuse—it was too much, and he left as soon as possible.
So there was no point in staying on Tataya Island any longer.
No other pirates returned in the following ten days.
As for the townsfolk, they no longer dared to litter.
A Navy officer constantly roaming around to clean up trash was enough to give them chills.
Even after Yeyin left, they maintained their new habit of keeping things clean.
After half a month of this, they had grown used to being mindful of cleanliness.
Now, Yeyin and his crew set out for their next destination.
