Everyone cast puzzled looks toward Kai.
After pausing and whetting everyone's appetite, Kai finally spoke:
"Hmm... on the surface, the goal was to seize political power in Alabasta, but in reality, it was to obtain the ancient weapon 'Pluton.' Am I right, Crocodile!"
"Pluton"!?
The legendary ancient weapon!
A super battleship with the power to destroy an entire island with a single strike!!!
No one had expected that Crocodile, stationed in the first half of the Grand Line, would harbor such grand ambitions. They were even more shocked by how Kai knew this information.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Crocodile's expression darkened until it could practically drip water. Compared to everyone's surprise, his heart was even more shaken!
After learning about "Pluton," he hadn't told a single soul about it, so how did this newly appointed Marine Admiral know!?
However, Kai's shocking revelations were far from over.
Next, Kai looked at Bartholomew Kuma, speaking flatly: "'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma, bounty of 296 million berries, Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit user. Originally an extremely brutal pirate, but now completely obedient to the World Government—how very strange...
Huh!? I didn't expect your true identity to be a Revolutionary Army officer, a direct subordinate of Monkey D. Dragon! And... what exactly are you plotting? To the point where you'd willingly accept the World Government's human modification program!? I'm afraid your hands and feet are no longer flesh and blood now."
Hearing Kai's words, Bartholomew Kuma, who had maintained an expressionless face until now, finally showed a change in color. A hint of cold light flashed in his eyes. If Kuma hadn't calculated that he had no chance of defeating Kai, he would have already made his move.
The others seemed to still be processing the information in Kai's words when Kai had already turned his gaze to the last person he hadn't mentioned yet—Donquixote Doflamingo.
Without hesitation, Kai spoke directly: "'Heavenly Yaksha,' 'Sea Rogue,' 'Joker,' 'Broker of the Underworld'... you really have quite a few titles... Donquixote Doflamingo, bounty of 340 million berries, Paramecia-type String-String Fruit user!
Five years ago... you seized political power in the Dressrosa Kingdom and became its king... using the authority granted to the Seven Warlords by the World Government, you've controlled numerous industries worldwide! Such as the human auction house on Sabaody Archipelago's Grove 1.
At the same time, your pirate crew's influence is vast. I believe the 'Bellamy Pirates' and 'Heart Pirates' are under your command, making you arguably the most powerful of the Seven Warlords.
Not only that, you're secretly harboring the evil scientist Caesar Clown, researching artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, and it seems you've already signed a purchase agreement with the 'Four Emperor' Kaido.
Hmm... and there's more..."
With each sentence Kai spoke, Doflamingo's expression darkened further. Finally, just as Kai was about to speak his last sentence, Doflamingo suddenly roared:
"Shut up! Stop talking!!!"
If Kai knew about him harboring Caesar Clown and signing trade agreements with Kaido, then the even more secret information about himself could only be...
Kai completely ignored Doflamingo's roar, continuing on his own:
"Hmm... I never expected the famous Donquixote Doflamingo was once a Celestial Dragon. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Kai's expression was unreadable—whether it was indifference, pity, or mockery!
The moment Kai finished saying "Celestial Dragon," Doflamingo was already consumed by rage. His Celestial Dragon identity was an eternal, inerasable hatred in his heart!
Born into a Celestial Dragon family in his youth, enjoying Celestial Dragon privileges, Doflamingo's original life trajectory should have been growing up to become an arrogant Celestial Dragon like Saint Charlos.
But his father, Donquixote Homing, had a moment of madness one day, declaring he would renounce his Celestial Dragon privileges and live like ordinary people, thus taking his family of four away from the holy land of Mary Geoise.
After relocating, the Donquixote family lived off their original savings, but because the entire family lost their former privileges, people who had suffered under Celestial Dragon oppression vented their anger on the family, causing Doflamingo to frequently face cold stares and torture from the masses.
In Doflamingo's view, the root of all these misfortunes was his father's stupidity! At age ten, ignoring his younger brother's pleas, he resolutely killed his own father and returned to Mary Geoise with the latter's head, only to be rejected by the Celestial Dragons who viewed him as a traitor!
Thus, in his fury, he left Mary Geoise again, vowing to turn the world dominated by Celestial Dragons upside down to vent his rage!
Later, he even personally killed his own younger brother!
Therefore, in front of Doflamingo, "Celestial Dragon" was an absolutely forbidden phrase that could never be mentioned! No matter who it was!
Even knowing that Kai before him was far more powerful than himself!
Doflamingo still resolutely attacked!
String-String Fruit: Foot Shave String!
Doflamingo suddenly lifted his right foot, kicking toward Kai!
Eight nearly transparent thin strings emerged from Doflamingo's foot, intertwining together as they blasted toward Kai! Though just eight thin strings, under Doflamingo's control, their power was enough to slice a building in half!
Kai showed no panic in his expression. Just as the Foot Shave String was about to strike him!
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed!
His pitch-black right hand was already wrapped in Armament Haki!
Kai directly caught Doflamingo's Foot Shave String and with a backhand throw, before Doflamingo could react, Kai had already hurled him away.
Doflamingo's body slammed heavily into the wall, and even the wall made of the most solid concrete showed spider-web cracks!
