Burrow Island.
It is an ordinary island in North Blue.
At this time, in a tavern near the alley in the town of Burrow Island.
The wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and three figures walked in, wearing black cloaks and cloaks.
There was only one table of guests in the pub, sitting in the corner, and that table of guests also looked at the three figures at this time, one of the guests was Doflamingo.
"Welcome to you, my friend." Doflamingo's mouth raised and smiled.
Mio walked over, opened his cloak to reveal his face, and sat directly in front of Doflamingo, smiling slightly, "Is the area near this island where the heavenly tribute will pass by?"
"Yes." Doflamingo nodded. "Not only will it pass by here, but it will also stop on this island to rest, and it will be tonight."
"Docking?" Mio was surprised when he heard this.
Doflamingo smiled and explained, "This is North Blue, which is more chaotic than the other three sea areas. Even Marine dare not wander around in the sea at night, let alone the important task of escorting heavenly tribute?"
Mio nodded and said, "What about the time?"
"It's almost here." Doflamingo took out a stopwatch, glanced at it, and said, "It will be around an hour at the latest."
As he spoke, Doflamingo grinned, "This tavern is a stronghold of our family on this island. After the event is over, we can also celebrate with a banquet here, eh, eh."
"I'll talk about the celebration afterwards. I am more curious about the power of escort now." Mio propped his chin, and glanced at the two people beside Doflamingo.
One is Vergo and the other is Diamante.
Both of them, including Doflamingo, wore cloaks.
Mio retracted his gaze, and Doflamingo also spoke at this time.
"The escort force is a Marine Headquarters Commodore, four colonels and sixteen majors, plus a thousand Marine soldiers, a total of two warships escorted."
"The number is really not small." Mio couldn't help sighing.
Doflamingo nodded unavoidably. "After all, it is heavenly tribute. If the escort fails, it will make Celestial Dragons angry."
"That's what I said." Mio nodded slightly.
The group discussed quietly in the tavern, occasionally drinking wine and quietly waiting for the time to come.
After almost half an hour passed.
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and a figure walked in, walking straight to Doflamingo and whispering, "Young Master, here comes."
Hearing this, Doflamingo rose up, and the figure left directly.
Doflamingo looked at Mio, got up slowly, and grinned, "It looks like we should go now, hum."
"Then let's go, it just so happens that I also want to see as soon as possible how rich the wealth of heaven is." Mio grinned and smiled, his eyes gleaming.
"You will be amazed." Doflamingo replied softly, putting on his cloak, and still walking toward the outside of the tavern with that arrogant footwork.
Mio got up, put on his cloak, and walked out of the tavern.
In the dark, the town on this island seemed very quiet.
On the edge of the port, there were two warships docked. A large number of Marine soldiers walked down and stood vigilantly in the port, looking around from time to time, appearing very cautious.
A middle-aged man wearing a Marine cape stepped off the warship, and after looking around, he recruited a colonel and ordered, "Order to go down, just rest on the shore tonight, take turns on duty, don't have the slightest relaxation, you know?"
"Yes!" The colonel replied respectfully, and after the Commodore stopped, he turned and left.
"I hope there will be no accident." Commodore murmured, frowning slightly. This is the first time he has escorted Heavenly Tribute. It is inevitable that he is a little nervous, after all, it is Heavenly Tribute.
What this Commodore didn't know was that in the distance, in a forest far away from the port, Mio and Doflamingo stood quietly in the forest, looking towards the port, watching the situation there.
"Marine soldier, and the colonel, including the major, leave it to us. You only need to deal with the Commodore, how about it?" Mio looked at Doflamingo and said.
"Of course." Doflamingo nodded without hesitation. Although Commodore's strength is considered top-level and strong in North Blue, Doflamingo's strength is not weak, plus his two subordinates, it is not difficult to deal with.
However, he was rather curious, how Mio planned to deal with those Marines and non-commissioned officers.
After all, there were a lot of them. He didn't believe Mio had the strength of crushing level. If it is not good, it will let these people escape, and it will be very troublesome.
So everyone in these Marines will have to die here tonight.
As for Doflamingo's thoughts, Mio is naturally unclear.
At this moment, Mio patted Erica on the shoulder.
Under the cloak, the tentacles on Erica's forehead shook suddenly.
A group of people waited quietly, Mio was waiting for Erica's action, while Doflamingo was waiting for Mio's action. After all, if they want to make a shot, they have to do it together. It would be dangerous to do it alone.
Surrounded by so many Marine soldiers, even Doflamingo is a little afraid. He is not the one he was when the story begins in the future.
However, after a few minutes passed, but there was still no movement at all, Doflamingo suddenly became puzzled, and when he was about to ask...
Rustle...
In the forest behind him, a slight voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh?" Doflamingo frowned. Just as he was about to look back, he saw Vergo swallowing saliva next to him, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"Many, Doffy..."
Vergo took a deep breath, shouted in return, motioned behind his eyes.
Dofalmingo looked behind him, and when he saw the situation behind him clearly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he only felt his scalp go numb.
For a while, Doflamingo was also in consternation.
It took a long time to recover, and couldn't help but sigh, "The power of horror!!"
What did he see?
There are densely packed black ants, including small and large ones. The small ones are ordinary ants, and the large ones are almost the size of a thumb. The number is terrifying.
At this time, these ants gathered behind him, almost forming a black lake, and ants continued to gather from around.
Seeing these ants, even Doflamingo felt terrified.
He regarded this as a Devil Fruit ability.
Therefore, Doflamingo couldn't help taking a deep look at Erica, and couldn't help but sigh fortunately that there are no ants in the ocean, otherwise this guy's abilities would be too terrifying.
When it was almost time, Erica turned her head and looked towards Mio, with a query in her eyes, as if she was asking the master whether to order these ants to attack.
Mio stared at the harbor, after a moment of indifference, he nodded slightly.
Erica's tentacles swayed on her forehead.
Suddenly, these ants swept away like a black torrent...
