[Golden Lion Shiki: Gehahahaha! So the Devil Fruit ability obtained by the Revolutionary Army's Number Two actually came from Doflamingo in the first place?]
[Sir Crocodile: You basically did all the work for someone else, Doflamingo.]
[Gecko Moria: Hahahaha! This is too funny!]
[Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! Joker, your initial plan couldn't have been to use this Flame-Flame Fruit as bait, could it?]
[Charlotte Perospero: Perorin~ If it really is as Mama says, then Doflamingo is too pathetic, perorin~]
[Buggy the Clown: But how did Doflamingo even find the Flame-Flame Fruit? I thought reborn Devil Fruits appear randomly somewhere in the world. How did he manage to locate it within two years?]
[Marco: Indeed, I've never heard of Devil Fruits being trackable. Teach's methods were already shocking enough, and now Doflamingo is no different. But since you chose to treat Ace's ability this way, you must be prepared, just like Teach, for retaliation from our Whitebeard Pirates.]
[Edward Newgate: Gurarararara! That's right! I don't care how you got the Flame-Flame Fruit. But as an ability that once belonged to my son, I won't allow you to use it for other purposes.]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu, I haven't done anything yet. That's just what happened in the video. And Fire Fist Ace isn't even dead now, is he? Even if I wanted to find the Flame-Flame Fruit, I couldn't. Are you Whitebeard Pirates really determined to oppose me over something that hasn't happened?]
[Little Oars Jr.: Anyone who bullies Ace, I'll smash them flat!]
[Jozu: Little Oars is right! Even if it hasn't happened yet, without the sky screen, this is exactly what would have happened. Of course we can seek revenge for Ace over this!]
[Pica: If you insist on this course of action, then bring it on! Our Donquixote Family will never lose!]
...
Whitebeard Pirates
Ace was deeply moved seeing the crew speaking up for him on the sky screen.
"Pops, everyone... you really don't have to do this. It's just something that might happen in the future. And I didn't die at Marineford now, which means that event won't happen later. You don't need to do this for me."
Hearing this, Whitebeard patted his shoulder. "Enough. Since you chose to become my son, it's only natural for me, as your father, to protect you."
"That's right," Marco nodded beside him.
"Actually, we aren't angry that someone else got your ability. We're upset that Doflamingo used the Flame-Flame Fruit as a trap to further his own schemes. This alone, I will never allow. Ace, your ability must never be used for such a purpose."
"Pops, everyone..." Ace looked at them, deeply touched. "Thank you."
...
Dressrosa
Seeing Pica's impulsive statement on the sky screen, Trebol panicked.
"Pica! What are you doing?! How could you say such a thing! If we attract the entire Whitebeard Pirates here, it'll be disastrous! Our secret will definitely be exposed then!"
Hearing Trebol's words, Pica realized his mistake and apologized in his booming voice.
"I... I didn't know! I just couldn't stand the Whitebeard Pirates being so arrogant and spoke without thinking! Young Master, what should we do? I didn't mean to!"
Pica looked apologetically at Doflamingo, awaiting his scolding.
To his surprise, Doflamingo just waved his hand, not blaming him.
"It's fine. For now, the Whitebeard Pirates probably won't come here easily. Even if they do, it's okay. Don't forget we still have Sugar."
Hearing Doflamingo's reassuring words, Trebol immediately cheered up.
"That's right! They don't know about Sugar's ability. They definitely won't be prepared for her."
"And maybe the entire Whitebeard Pirates will all turn into that state for us to command! Hahahaha!" Pica also laughed happily.
"But," Diamante suddenly spoke up while the others were celebrating, "what if the sky screen video exposes Sugar?"
What Diamante mentioned was exactly what worried Doflamingo.
Given the capabilities of the sky screen system, it was likely to expose all his secrets.
He had to make preparations before his secrets were revealed.
He probably couldn't stay in Dressrosa anymore. He needed to relocate as soon as possible.
...
While Doflamingo and his family members were discussing, the battle in Block A of the colosseum in the video was nearing its end.
〖After a massive free-for-all among the Block A contestants, the final victor was a large man wearing a paper bag on his head.
After winning, he immediately removed the paper bag.
Only then did everyone see his true face. It was actually the Champion of the Blackbeard Pirates, Jesus Burgess.〗
[Jesus Burgess: It was actually me! I never thought I'd go after the Flame-Flame Fruit too! Too bad I didn't manage to get it in the end.]
[Buggy the Clown: Why does it feel like the Blackbeard Pirates are everywhere? Don't they have anything better to do?]
[Cavendish: Who knows? Probably just to show off... Wait, did I hear that correctly? What did that commentator just say?]
[Eustass Kid: This is impossible!]
After Jesus Burgess revealed himself, everyone was initially curious that he had also gone to the colosseum.
But then the commentator's next words shocked everyone.
〖"I can't be mistaken! That man, the final victor of Block A. His identity is... under the command of one of the Four Emperors, Blackbeard! One of the ten giant ship captains! The captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' 1st ship, Champion Jesus Burgess!"
The commentator looked at Jesus Burgess and loudly announced his identity to the crowd.〗
[Charlotte Cracker: You've got to be kidding me! That Blackbeard?! What qualifies him to be called one of the Four Emperors alongside Mama?!]
[Jack: A guy like that actually became one of the Four Emperors? How could such a thing possibly happen?!]
[Wang Zhi: Judging by the timeline without the sky screen, Whitebeard should have died at Marineford. So Blackbeard took his place and became a new Emperor?]
