Boom!
Another explosion sounded.
This immediately strengthened the resolve of several Celestial Dragons to leave.
After all, a Celestial Dragon dying was a first in a long time; someone who dared to kill a Celestial Dragon simply didn't exist in this world.
Or rather, besides the person imprisoned in the Great Underwater Prison, there was no one else.
World Destroyer—Byrnndi World!
But now, there was.
With that said…
The luxurious ship directly sailed away from the shore, not even leaving behind the Celestial Dragon who wasn't wearing an oxygen bubble.
Instead, he left the port along with the ship.
Even if he wanted to repay Fish-Man Island for its kindness, it wasn't worth sacrificing his life for a favor!
"Thanks, Admiral Kizaru, I'll treat you to a drink sometime."
Kizaru and Esdeath sat one on each side of the giant ice wall, quietly watching the ship in the sky depart.
What pirates? Under Esdeath's rule, what pirates would dare to cause trouble here!
"Oh? This old man didn't help much. It's only natural for the Marine to deal with pirates."
Kizaru's lazy voice sounded, indicating that he was just doing his job and hadn't done anything special.
"Hahaha!"
Looking at the very sensible Kizaru, Esdeath laughed. Kizaru was indeed understanding. If it had been Akainu, it might not have been so simple.
And another point was, why would Kizaru be willing to be a Celestial Dragon's bodyguard? Wouldn't that disrupt his original plan?
How could he slack off if he was protecting them? Now, all he had to do was frame someone.
… … … … … …
"Hmph—!"
Doflamingo looked at the newspaper in his hand, veins bulging with anger!
"Who is it?!"
His furious roar could be heard throughout the entire palace!
The surrounding executives were also puzzled. Who was it that kept framing their Young Master again and again?
"Being stripped of my Shichibukai title is one thing!"
"Being falsely accused of killing Celestial Dragons is also one thing!"
"Now they're saying I went to Shambles? I've been stuck in Dressrosa day after day, not daring to go out!"
The current Doflamingo had reined himself in quite a bit due to being stripped of his Shichibukai title and a series of other events.
But now, someone was still framing him!
"Again and again!"
"Do they take me for a Ninja Turtle?!"
He scanned his executives. Even now, they hadn't found out who was framing him.
Vergo also didn't know who it was. What exactly was going on?
"You all watch over Dressrosa here. I'm going to Shambles to find that Esdeath!"
His veins throbbed. No matter what, if this continued, anyone would dare to insult him!
This won't do!
"Yes, Young Master!"
Donning his flamingo coat, Doflamingo vanished from Dressrosa's palace.
"Skywalk!"
Using the power of his String-String Fruit, he tied himself to the clouds in the sky and swung into the distance.
He hadn't gone far when he saw a familiar ship. Doflamingo immediately panicked. Why did the direction this big shot was heading resemble his own kingdom so much?
"Pops, that looks like Doflamingo!"
Vista looked at the figure not far above their heads and said to Whitebeard.
"Gurararara, head in his direction!"
At Whitebeard's command, the Moby Dick immediately turned its bow.
"Uh…"
"Why is it coming towards me?!"
Seeing the ship sailing towards him, Doflamingo's first thought was to flee.
Whoosh!
A sword slash grazed Doflamingo's scalp. He turned his head and saw it was none other than the Fourth Division Commander, Flower Sword Vista.
"Doflamingo, Pops requests your presence!"
It seemed that if Doflamingo dared to run, two more sword slashes would fly out.
"I'll be right down!"
Doflamingo's head ached with anger. Why was he running out for no reason now? Wasn't this just asking for trouble!
Facing the entire Whitebeard Pirates, Doflamingo had no confidence in escaping.
What kind of situation was this!
"Gurararara, Doflamingo, this old man needs your help with something today."
"What do you say?"
"Okay, tell me. As long as I can help, I will!"
Doflamingo was on the verge of tears. Who asks for help by giving someone a slash first? Is this your attitude when asking for favors?
Moreover, from his tone, if he didn't help, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Moby Dick today!
"That's good!"
Then Whitebeard beckoned and said, "Bring Marco up!"
Marco, wrapped in bandages, was carried out, looking somewhat pained and completely out of spirit.
"I heard you have a user of the Op-Op Fruit under your command. How about having him come out and examine Marco's injuries for treatment?"
Whitebeard looked at Marco with a pained expression.
It had been so long, yet his injuries showed no signs of improvement. He had already consulted so many doctors, but they were all helpless.
And the Phoenix Fruit's blue flames couldn't heal this kind of injury, which had Whitebeard troubled.
"This…"
Doflamingo glanced at Marco, initially shocked, but then he became troubled after hearing Whitebeard's words.
That kid Law had already run away several years ago. Where was he supposed to find him!
"Hmm?"
"The Op-Op Fruit user under me left long ago. It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't!"
"Then you can forget about leaving today!"
Whoosh!
Murakumogiri was drawn from behind the seat, stopping with powerful momentum on Doflamingo's shoulder, the wind it generated making Doflamingo's haori rustle loudly.
With just a little more force, Doflamingo would lose an arm!
"But I know he's in North Blue!"
Doflamingo quickly spoke, afraid that the next slash would land on his shoulder.
… … … … … …
"Are you sure you don't want to stay a bit longer, Admiral Kizaru?"
Although they were words of concern, they somehow conveyed no hint of care, instead making one feel it was better for him to leave soon.
"Spare me. If I don't leave soon, I'm afraid not only will Teacher Zephyr chase me away, but your little fangirls will also take action!"
He had only stayed for a short while, and Teacher Zephyr was also there, yet those women were still staring at him covetously.
He didn't want to endure that atmosphere for another second.
"Buruburuburu!"
"Hmm?"
He raised his right hand and looked. It wasn't his Den Den Mushi. Then he said to Esdeath and the others, "Your Den Den Mushi is ringing. This old man is leaving."
"Idiot, it's your Den Den Mushi!"
Zephyr looked at Kizaru's actions, speechless. The sound was clearly coming from Borsalino.
"Ah, found it, found it!"
"I wondered why the sound was so close."
Kizaru fumbled around on himself for a moment, found the Den Den Mushi, and answered it.
"Moshi moshi…"
"This is Sengoku. You're still in Sabaody Archipelago, right?"
