Marine Headquarters, Shichibukai's exclusive rest area.
Because of the coming war, Doflamingo chose to stay at the place arranged by the Marines directly after the Shichibukai meeting. He was enjoying being hosted by the Marines, but today he felt something was quite wrong.
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly think of that pink-haired girl who I met at Sabaody Archipelago? I remember she was called... Hina?" Doflamingo sat on the sofa, frowning tightly. Not long ago, some memories about Hina appeared in his mind.
"Is it because she is training next to that bastard, Ikki?" Doflamingo felt that this was the only possibility.
"Forget it, let's go see how the Marine guys are preparing." Doflamingo shook his head, stood up from the sofa, and planned to walk out the door. At this moment, another memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
In Dressrosa Palace, a sturdy swordsman rushed into the palace and yelled angrily at Doflamingo and ten other Donquixotes. Although his feet were tied by the chains that came suddenly, he directly cut off the tied legs with his sword. Then he kicked off the ground with his other leg and rushed towards Doflamingo at high speed. At this moment, Sugar suddenly took action and turned the attacking man into a soldier with a broken leg.
"This memory is... that Kyros?"
"No, hasn't he been turned into a toy by Sugar?"
"Why do I suddenly think of that guy? Is there something wrong with Sugar?" Doflamingo frowned and took out the Den Den Mushi driven by the uneasiness in his heart. But before he could dial, the Den Den Mushi started ringing.
"Hey, what happened to Dressrosa, is Sugar okay?" Doflamingo picked up the phone directly.
"Doffy, do you feel it too? Has the memory of Kyros returned?" Trebol's anxious voice came out from the Den Den Mushi.
"I remembered, Trebol, what happened to you? Did Sugar faint?"
"No, Sugar is fine now and has not experienced any problems. But the strange thing is that all of us remembered the memory of Kyros. By the way, before Kyros, there were two female Marines in this situation."
"Female Marines?"
"Yes, there were two Marines who seemed to be visiting Dressrosa. I remember they were called Hina and Sadi-chan."
"Hina?! Is that the woman following Ikki?"
"Ikki? Wait, Doffy, is that the strange man you mentioned earlier?"
"That's that guy. I saw Ikki and Hina together in Sabaody! Oh no, that Ikki must have used some method to restore Hina and Kyros to their original condition."
"D-Doffy, what should we do next?" Trebol swallowed, now feeling quite uneasy. He knew that Ikki was the legendary bounty hunter who captured the legendary Golden Lion. With Doflamingo away from Dressrosa, if Ikki wants to take revenge on Sugar for turning Hina and Sadi-chan into toys, no one can stop him. And Sugar's trick that worked so poorly is definitely no longer practical. Hina and Sadi-chan will definitely tell Ikki and his team this information.
"I will immediately find a way to return to Dressrosa," Doflamingo said, rushing out the door. "Trebol, find that Ikki and negotiate with him. Go and don't start a fight with that man. When I find him, let me talk to him!"
After meeting Ikki with his own eyes, Doflamingo deeply understood how weak he was in front of him. In the current situation where Ikki may attack the Donquixote Family, he no longer cares about the war between Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates, or the Shichibukai compulsory summons order.
"Understood, Doffy!" Trebol nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, we have sent people to look for that man." After continuing to talk to Doflamingo for a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Really, how could such a situation happen?" Trebol put down the phone and looked around suspiciously. "Violet, have you found any traces of Ikki's group... hmm? Where is Violet?"
"Violet said before that her fruit power did not find Ikki in the west, so she planned to go to the east to have a look." Diamanti, another top cadre, stood up with an extremely serious expression.
"She's alone? Oh no, Kyros suddenly came back. There's no guarantee that Violet won't rebel," Trebol said worriedly.
"When Violet went out, Kyros had not returned."
"Well, I'll go find that woman myself." Diamanti left these words and disappeared into the castle in one swift step.
Explorer, deck.
"I wonder what Ikki is calling us back for?" Shyarly asked.
"Should we go sailing again?" Perona said. "No, I haven't visited this country enough yet."
"Even if we have to leave, it's too urgent," Vivi added. "There should be other important things."
"Perhaps, this matter has something to do with Hina and Sadi-chan," Nico Robin said.
"They? It's a little strange to talk about it," Kalifa commented. "The memory of the two of them suddenly appeared in my mind just now. But before that, I seemed to have trouble remembering them."
"Do you feel this way too, Tashigi?" Nico Robin asked. "You seem to know something from the look on your face, can you tell us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the crew turned to look at Tashigi, who was the only one with her head lowered and silent.
"In fact... when I was with Ikki before, he asked me about Hina and Sadi-chan," Tashigi recounted, raising her head. "He asked me if I remembered them, and my answer was no. After hearing what I said, Ikki took me back to the Explorer."
"At that time, I still felt a little strange why Ikki mentioned the names Hina and Sadi-chan. Now that I think about it, Ikki probably knew something was wrong with them, so he planned to help them."
