"Young Master, Violet is back!"
Trebol, who was waiting at the dock, sniffled and spoke first.
"She's finally back?" Doflamingo sat up in his chair and said in a deep voice, "Quickly go check on Gladius's condition."
"Send him for treatment. With that guy's Devil Fruit ability, no matter what kind of injury he sustains, he can recover easily."
It could be said that in the original story, Doflamingo had two trump cards.
The first was Sugar, who possessed the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
The second was the princess of the Tontatta tribe, who had the Heal-Heal Fruit.
According to Doflamingo's calculations, no matter how severe the team's injuries were.
As long as the Heal-Heal Fruit's ability was used properly, the Donquixote Family could launch a second counter-offensive.
Now, Gladius, who was like family, was in a life-or-death situation.
This made Doflamingo impatient, and he rushed here to wait.
"Young Master Doflamingo, Gladius died shortly after receiving Saitama's punch, he was severely injured and his breath was gone." Violet leaped down from the deck.
Behind her were several pirate underlings, carrying the unrecognizable Gladius on a stretcher.
The white cloth covering him clearly indicated that even the Heal-Heal Fruit, which Doflamingo considered a trump card, was useless.
Bang!
Doflamingo crushed the wine glass in his hand.
A violent Conqueror's Haki exploded like a tidal wave.
It transformed into a hurricane that swept outwards in all directions.
Wherever it passed, the underlings guarding the dock instantly foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious.
Even the four underlings carrying the stretcher were no exception.
The stretcher, having lost its support, crashed heavily onto the ground.
As the white cloth flipped open, it revealed Gladius, whose bones were completely shattered.
Seeing his state, like a cotton man, Doflamingo's expression turned extremely grim.
"Good, very good. I didn't expect anyone on this sea to dare kill my family. I, Doflamingo, will absolutely not let him live!"
"Young Master, let us go! We'll bring back his head quickly!" Trebol sniffled and said sinisterly.
As the leader of the Donquixote Family's assassination and guard squads,
he was undoubtedly the best candidate to act.
"Young Master, I can go too!"
Seeing Trebol volunteer, Pica also chimed in with his sharp voice.
For a moment, the remaining family members also expressed their willingness.
In their eyes, the bald man who killed Gladius might be powerful, but behind them stood the long-established Donquixote Family.
They were also known as the kings of the underground black market.
"Quiet!" Doflamingo raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, then said with a grim expression, "Violet, I want to hear your evaluation of that guy. Did you try to peek into his thoughts!"
Everyone present knew how terrifying Violet's Glare-Glare Fruit ability was.
It could be said that as long as Violet wanted to, their inner thoughts would be as exposed as if they were naked, with no way to hide them.
This time, Doflamingo had sent Violet along with Gladius on this mission.
It was entirely so that Violet could find an opportunity to probe Saitama's background.
To see if he had any connection to Skull Demon and Escanor.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Violet's expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you telling me you had no opportunity, or that you couldn't see his inner thoughts?" A chilling smile appeared on Doflamingo's grim face.
However, before Violet could react, a series of urgent Den Den Mushi calls rang out.
"Young Master, it's Vergo!"
A deep, stern voice first came from the Den Den Mushi.
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow and said, "Vergo, didn't I tell you not to contact me unless it's an emergency or I contact you first?"
As Doflamingo's pawn planted in the Marine Headquarters, Vergo's rise to Vice Admiral and his concurrent position as head of the G-5 base had cost Doflamingo considerable effort.
If he contacted him without good reason for trivial matters and disrupted his plans, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
"Young Master, I had no choice," Vergo said in a deep voice.
"I'm contacting you this time because Vice Admiral Garp recently brought a list of candidates for the new Seven Warlords."
"New Seven Warlords?"
Everyone present was taken aback.
Doflamingo's expression also faltered slightly: "Who is the candidate for the new Seven Warlords?"
According to his plan, he had intended to arrange a candidate to inherit the position of Seven Warlord.
Now that someone had gotten there first, it undoubtedly made Doflamingo a little displeased, and he was also very curious.
Who was it that the "Hero of the Marines," Garp, personally invited to become a member of the Seven Warlords?
"It's the one-punch man, Saitama!" Vergo said in a deep voice.
His not-so-loud voice, at this moment, was like a demonic incantation, instantly striking a chord with everyone's nerves.
Just a moment ago, they were still wishing to tear Saitama to shreds for Gladius's death.
They never expected Vergo to tell them now that this enemy had become a new Seven Warlord.
And that he was personally invited by Vice Admiral Garp.
Such an honor was rare among the Seven Warlords.
"Young Master, what do we do next?" Vergo asked in a deep voice.
"What do we do?"
Doflamingo smiled sinisterly, "The Marine Headquarters has let that guy take over Crocodile's position."
"This also indicates that he likely has no connection to Skull Demon or Escanor."
At this point, Doflamingo grinned ferociously, "Since they have no connection, I don't need to hold back too much anymore."
"Violet, you don't need to worry either. I won't blame you."
"Your Glare-Glare Fruit can see into people's hearts, but if their Haki cultivation is too high, you still won't be able to do it."
"From now on, you just need to stay in Dressrosa and monitor everything on the island. I'm going to Mary Geoise."
After saying this, Doflamingo directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Young Master, how are you going to deal with that guy?" Trebol sniffled and asked first.
"Deal with him?"
Doflamingo chuckled playfully, "Don't forget, I now have Kaido's commission. This is the most solid alliance."
"Since that detestable guy has no connection to Skull Demon or Escanor, of course, he can't be allowed to continue living in this world."
"I'm going to Mary Geoise to confirm something. I'll be back soon."
