I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 343 Can you give me some face?
Despite the Straw Hat crew's anger, Mo Fei maintained a calm and composed smile throughout.

Compared to recruiting a few dispensable subordinates, the stability of the pirate world is clearly of much higher importance.

Sometimes, you only know what to do next after you've done something.

For example, he had been conflicted about his attitude towards the Straw Hat crew.

Before the banquet began, he was still trying to win them over, but after the duel, looking at the indignant crowd in the stands, he realized that he was never on the same path as them.

"Since it is a duel, it is naturally a matter of determining victory or defeat and life or death. Your unauthorized entry into the fighting area is a violation of the principles of martial arts."

As for me, I've never really liked people who don't follow the rules.

"you……!"

Zoro wanted to refute, but found that he was indeed in the wrong, so he could only stand there, his face flushed red.

"Since you've broken the rules, you must be punished. I've always preferred to win people over with virtue. Why don't you all come at me together and see if you can protect your companions?"

At this moment, the entire Straw Hat crew had already entered the arena, and a group of experts from the Divine Court followed closely behind, assuming a posture ready to protect Mo Fei at any time.

Although they themselves knew that Mo might not need their protection, they still had to put on a show because of their duty.

"Alright, you can all step back now. Today I'll give them a chance to gang up on me."

Could it be that while driving away the group of Divine Court experts, he was also constantly throwing away puppets?

Now, Mo Fei has the supplies of the entire empire. Under his orders, all qualified experts will be captured alive by the Divine Court army, and the corpses of the experts who died in battle will be preserved as intact as possible.

So even now, Mo Fei himself doesn't know exactly how many dolls are in his cursed space.

With a constant supply of Seastone from Wano Country, all of his small-sized puppets have now been modified with Seastone.

So by the time Chopper finally managed to wake Luffy, the entire arena was filled with the Seastone golems summoned by Mo Fei.

"Doflamingo, do you really need to make such a big fuss to deal with just a few of us?"

Seeing the Seastone golems that had completely surrounded them, the Straw Hat Pirates, except for Zoro and Robin who remained relatively calm, were terrified and immediately asked in a mix of fear and grievance, "Could it be something else?"

"Such a grand display is certainly not meant to deal with you. Just wait and you'll soon find out."

Under the astonished gazes of the Straw Hat crew, Mo Fei gave a meaningful smile, then used his mental field to move a chair to the spot and sat down in the middle of the room to wait quietly.

The people who were expected to arrive were clearly more eager than Mo Fei had anticipated, even before Mo Fei could arrive.

Before the arena had even warmed up, a violent hurricane had already begun to rage, covering the entire arena with dark clouds and creating an oppressive atmosphere, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city and threatening to crush it.

At almost the same time, hurried footsteps echoed from other directions of the arena.

Looking at Garp, Shanks, and the others who barged into the Royal Arena without any prior notice, Mo Fei's eyes instantly filled with frost.

"Hey, looks like I accidentally stirred up a hornet's nest, and all of you big fish have been caught."

What? Are you going to rebel against me today?

Looking at the high-ranking officers who had once belonged to the Red-Haired Pirates and the Revolutionary Army not far away, Mo Fei asked in an icy tone.

His body suddenly shot into the sky, and without warning, he unleashed several mental blasts towards the location of the hurricane in the air.

"what……!"

The Mind Blast, enhanced by the power of the Phoenix, is not so easily defeated.

Even Monkey D. Dragon, who possesses the power of a wind-type natural fruit, was severely injured by Mo Fei on the spot and forced to revert to his elemental form.

"Back in Mary Geoise, I found your defection too suspicious. So you were planning to undermine me, huh?"

"Now that I've broken the 'hand' you all had high hopes for, you can't help but jump out?"

After severely injuring Monkey D. Dragon with a single blow, Mo Fei did not launch any further attacks. Instead, he remained suspended in the air, surveying and sizing up the rebels.

Compared to the Red-Haired Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, due to the losses in Mary Geoise, sent very few people this time. Among them, the only ones who could cause trouble for Mo Fei are Sabo and a few legion commanders.

On the contrary, the Red-Haired Pirates were almost all present this time.

It seems that Shanks' Face Fruit is not only useful to outsiders, but also has a remarkable effect on his own people.

"Hey! Isn't this Grandpa Garp? What brings you here too? Are you worried about your precious grandson's safety? Don't worry, he's not dead yet. I've been holding back."

Could it be that this calm, composed, and decisive demeanor made the group of rebels, who were already feeling uneasy due to the hasty arrival, even more suspicious and uncertain?

Many revolutionary soldiers who had fought in the Battle of Mary Geoise turned pale on the spot, and fear arose in their hearts.

After all, Im's single skill was enough to cause them heavy casualties back then, and now they are facing a formidable opponent who could even take down Im.

"I don't care about their business, but Luffy is my grandson, and I can't just stand by and watch him die."

Compared to his ambitious son, Garp at this moment was just an old man worried about the safety of his grandson.

However, whatever his purpose may be, it's impossible for him to let them take Luffy away.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, then we'll have to settle this with a single battle."

Now I'm giving all of you who came here today one last chance: if you leave now, I guarantee I won't pursue this matter afterward.

But if you insist on your stubbornness, I, Doflamingo, hereby declare: as long as I survive today, I will search every inch of the land and every clan to exterminate you all!

Could it be that this resounding declaration, combined with the soul-shaking effect of the shocking calamity, caused some of the rebels on the field to leave on the spot?

"I'm quitting. It's okay if I die, but I can't let my family and people die with me. Boss, don't blame me."

As the first revolutionary soldier threw down his weapon and left the field, a large number of people immediately began to retreat.

Mo Fei's previous preparations resulted in more puppets than rebels on the field. With the presence of two boss-level figures, Kaido and Big Mom, many of those who had been incited to come were now having second thoughts.

Seeing his subordinates abandon their weapons and flee in panic, Monkey D. Dragon, whose face was already pale, turned even more ashen as he was struck by several soul shocks from Mo Fei.

He used to wonder why the Divine Court army would keep capturing and recruiting experts for him, regardless of their lives.

Looking at the enemies he had once killed, now standing on the field with indifferent expressions, he realized that they were the ones he had killed before.

Only then did he realize how terrifying the man in front of him truly was.

"Brothers, if you don't want to become like these monsters on the field, then join me and kill this remnant of the Celestial Dragons." This rebellion was truly out of necessity, so Dragon's preparations were actually insufficient.

If it weren't for the help of his father and the Red-Haired Pirates, he wouldn't even have had the confidence to confront Mo Fei head-on.

But now that the die was cast, he had no choice but to rebel.

As for the Celestial Dragon's identity, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon could not possibly be unaware of it.

I hadn't said it before because I was thinking of using it at the most appropriate time.

However, Mo Fei's previous remarks had unsettled his subordinates, and if he didn't come up with something drastic, the team might fall apart.

"Celestial Dragons? Didn't I personally wipe them out? Your mudslinging skills are lacking, little brother."

Besides, even if I were a Celestial Dragon, I would be one who sacrificed family ties for the greater good and overthrew tyranny. What you should be doing is awarding me a prize, not hindering the new era.”

Given his Celestial Dragon identity, Mo Fei had long anticipated that someone would use it against him, so he had come up with a whole host of countermeasures.

If it had been announced before his attack on Mary Geoise, it might have had a significant impact on him.

But now that the world is at peace and everyone is remembering Mo Fei's good deeds, it's really too late to announce it now.

However, at that time, Dragon was thinking of using Mo Fei to overthrow the Celestial Dragons so that he could eventually reveal the truth and reap the benefits.

Later, due to Luffy's plan, it was kept secret again.

Now, Mo Fei has suddenly launched an attack, forcing him to use this important message to boost morale and retain loyalty.

Since a war was inevitable, Mo Fei naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for the other side to start fighting. After half-jokingly refuting Long's bombshell news, he immediately ordered a group of puppets to launch an attack on the rebel side.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the battle situation immediately showed an overwhelming advantage.

The pirate puppet masters, all enhanced with Seastone, are fearless of swords and spears and undaunted by death.

While retaining all the martial arts skills, Mo Fei also used the Soul-Soul Fruit ability to reshape a new soul for each person.

Furthermore, with the help of the Memory Fruit ability, a large number of martial arts moves and techniques were stored in the minds of each doll.

With a series of enhancements, an ordinary person can become a mini-boss on the battlefield, not to mention that these puppets were originally experts.

The puppet Kaido faced off against Garp alone, while the puppet Big Mom held Dragon tightly in her grasp.

As for himself, he went straight to Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, who hadn't said a word since entering the arena.

"Shanks! I've always been curious about your strength. After all, among the Four Emperors, you're the only one who has never eaten a Devil Fruit. Come on, let me see your true strength."

"Wait first!"

However, Shanks seemed completely uninterested in Morpheus's challenge.

"Ok?"

Seeing Mo Fei's puzzled expression, Shanks leisurely stretched before explaining:

"I always thought Luffy was the one who could bring true peace to the world. But everything I've experienced recently has made me start to doubt whether my intuition was wrong. After all, Doflamingo seems to have done quite well too."

The reason I'm here today is because of a promise I made; after all, I'm a man of my word. As long as you don't attack others, I won't attack today either.

"Damn it...! It's true that a laid-back person is really not a good teammate."

Shanks' words left everyone speechless.

Seeing Shanks had retreated to the doorway and was leaning against the railing, looking like he was watching a show, Mo Fei suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

After all, Shanks is a strongman who can go toe-to-toe with Whitebeard and Kaido. It doesn't seem wrong for him to trade one for one with Shanks.

Having figured this out, Mo Fei simply stood aside and did nothing.

Then a dramatic turn of events occurred on the field. The two sides fought fiercely, but each side had a top fighter watching the show from the sidelines.

Both Dragon and Garp are undoubtedly at the Emperor level, but one has already entered old age, and the other was just severely injured by Mo Fei.

Therefore, they couldn't break through the encirclement of Kaido and Big Mom.

Seeing that their leader was slacking off, the Red-Haired Pirates' officers naturally wouldn't push themselves too hard either.

Apart from Yasopp, who was particularly diligent because he cared about his son, everyone else followed suit and started paddling.

Faced with the fearless Seastone puppet masters, the Revolutionary Army cadres of the country with Devil Fruit powers were the first to suffer.

Once a martial arts-skilled Sea Stone puppet gets close, a series of grappling techniques will turn them from lively and energetic to weak and helpless, leaving them no choice but to surrender.

Those cadres who specialized in physical combat were in a slightly better position, but even the best of men couldn't withstand a large number of wolves, and they were all eventually defeated.

The situation arose suddenly, and many of the elite troops who were lying in wait in various places did not have time to be mobilized.

If Mo Fei is just an ordinary Emperor-level expert, then Long's plan is flawless.

However, these hastily summoned personnel were no match for Mo Fei's massive army of puppets.

As for the central figures in this incident, the Straw Hat Pirates, they were killed by the puppets, including Katakuri, who were specially arranged by Mo Fei.

With Zoro unable to fight in order to protect his companions, Sanji critically injured and on the verge of death, and Luffy unconscious, all they could do was quietly wait for rescue.

"It seems you've won. Long acted too impulsively this time. Launching the plan so hastily, how could he not be defeated?"

"Since you know he's a hopeless case, why did you come with him? Aren't you afraid I'll settle scores later and wipe out your Red-Haired Pirates?"

"The Red-Haired Pirates are practically defunct now, so just consider this their farewell performance."

"Give me the honor of letting them go, okay?"

Seeing Shanks say "Give me some face" with a serious expression, Mo Fei couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Seeing the overwhelming dominance of his team on the field, Mo Fei thought for a moment before speaking with a determined expression.

"no!"
