Dias Barreus suddenly wanted to change the location of the transaction and bring forward the time, claiming it was to guard against the World Government. However, Doflamingo could tell that the person Dias Barreus was really wary of was himself.
Changing the trading location was one thing, but moving the trading time forward was another; it was clear they weren't giving him time to prepare on the island.
Did Diaz Barreus suddenly have a breakthrough, or was someone leaking the information?
If it's the former, that's fine; if it's the latter...
Thinking of this, Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, and those who knew him well knew that he was on the verge of rage.
Doflamingo's anger wasn't because Dias Barrelus suddenly went back on his word, but because there might be a traitor among those around him!
Even within the Don Quixote family, only a few of the executives knew about his plan to double-cross them.
These people were either like family to Doflamingo, or they were his true family.
Doflamingo does not tolerate betrayal. Once someone betrays him, even if they are his closest loved ones, he will make them know how serious the consequences of betrayal are!
Torrepol and Diamanti had never contacted Diamanti, and they had already gone to another island to prepare before landing on Minnion Island, so they couldn't possibly be traitors.
As for Pica and his brother Corazon... Doflamingo's gaze, pierced through the two men through his sunglasses, dispelled his doubts.
Since Pica arrived on the island, she has been by his side the whole time. If she did anything, he couldn't possibly not have noticed.
As for his younger brother Corazon... he has no language ability and cannot use Den Den Mushi to send messages. If he is a traitor, he must be contacted in person by Dias Barreus.
Meanwhile, Diaz Barrelus on the island had been under their surveillance, and if Corazon made contact with him, their spies would surely have noticed.
After some hesitation, Doflamingo still believed that it was more likely that Dias Barreus had suddenly become enlightened.
The people around him were either those who had accompanied him through his rise and fall, or his own younger brother; it was unlikely that they would choose to betray him to help a complete stranger like Dias Barrerus.
Diaz Barrerus's last-minute change of the time and place of the transaction clearly indicates that he had sensed the danger.
However, Doflamingo remained completely unfazed. After confirming that none of his subordinates could be traitors, Doflamingo once again put on a confident smile.
So what if Dias Barreus sensed something was wrong? If he weren't on Minion Island, perhaps Dias Barreus would still have a chance to escape.
But now that the other party is on the same island as him, is Doflamingo going to just watch Diablo escape from his sight?
Thinking of this, Doflamingo couldn't help but feel a little smug. Fortunately, he had the foresight to personally come to Minion Island to monitor Dias Barreus and the Op-Op Fruit from the very beginning.
Doflamingo didn't kill Diablos Barreus directly for the same reason as Wood: he didn't want to alert the enemy.
Although the plan has changed slightly, Doflamingo is still quite confident that he can eat the Op-Op Fruit and the 5 billion Berries.
The only troublesome ones are the people on the World Government's side. As for Dias Barreus?
It wasn't that Doflamingo looked down on the other party, but rather that someone of that character didn't even require him to personally intervene; the personnel under his four top officers were already enough to crush such a third-rate pirate crew.
The day of the transaction arrived as agreed, and the World Government's fleet also arrived near Minion Island as scheduled.
The World Government did not express any dissatisfaction with the temporary change of the transaction location and time, contrary to what Doflamingo had claimed.
Rather, the World Government would be more than happy to have the opportunity to make the deal in advance.
Few can resist the allure of immortality, especially those in high positions of power. The bigwigs from the World Government have been urging him countless times already.
Chapter 208 Birdcage, The Angry Doflamingo
As for whether changing the location of the transaction would pose a danger, that was completely outside the consideration of the World Government fleet.
As lackeys of the World Government, they also possess their own pride.
They had investigated Diaz Barreus and his team; the crew was just a third-rate pirate group formed by a bunch of rabble, and the former naval officer was nothing more than a group of small fry.
In a place like the New World, the other party is not even a second-rate person, let alone famous; he is just a nobody.
As for Doflamingo, although he was a former Celestial Dragon, that's all in the past.
The fact that the other party is able to thrive in the underworld is inseparable from the secret assistance of the World Government. Unless the other party is out of their mind, no one dares to take action against them.
With this inexplicable confidence, a hundred-man team led by several CP0 officers and several vice admirals landed on Mignon Island.
The vice admirals who appeared on Minion Island were not from the Navy Headquarters, but from other large branches in the New World.
This even includes the original "Heart" Vergo, who was sent by Doflamingo to infiltrate the Navy.
When the World Government's team appeared, Doflamingo greeted them with a smile, but the CP0 leader showed him no respect whatsoever, simply asking in a businesslike manner, "Where are the pirate crew and the Op-Op Fruit that you wanted to trade with us?"
"Are you going to change the terms again at the last minute? The bigwigs at the World Government are very anxious. You should know the consequences of repeatedly playing tricks on us, right?"
Since the other party didn't give him any face, Doflamingo naturally didn't bother to pretend to be obsequious. In his eyes, these guys were no different from dead men now.
However, Doflamingo was indeed somewhat dissatisfied that Diablos Barreus had not appeared by the agreed time.
The World Government and Doflamingo arrived ahead of time, but Diablos Barreus, whom they considered a nobody, was putting on airs.
Just as Doflamingo was about to send Pica and his men to urge Dias Barreus to come and make the deal, the Dias Barreus Pirates finally appeared.
Diablos Barreus made a dazzling entrance, carrying a suitcase, under the watchful eyes of the World Government and Doflamingo.
Both parties are in position. According to procedure, once it is confirmed that the goods in the other party's hands are correct, the normal handover can be completed.
However, when Dias Barreus appeared, he did not follow the usual pattern. Instead, upon his appearance, he threw the briefcase he was carrying directly to the World Government personnel.
All that Diaz Barrelus had in his hand was this briefcase, and everyone present instinctively assumed that it contained the Op-Op Fruit, worth 5 billion Berries.
Seeing that the box was about to fall into the hands of CP0, Doflamingo unleashed his "String-String Fruit" ability, "String Blast," without saying a word, and shot it towards the opponent.
Doflamingo's sudden attack caught everyone in the World Government off guard.
But after realizing the gravity of the "surgery result," this CP0 member, despite the severe injury to his shoulder, still managed to grab the box.
However, when he opened the box in his hand and found it empty, CP0 became furious again, because he knew he had been tricked!
"Doflamingo made me do all of this; the Op-Op Fruit was originally in his hands."
The reason I made the deal with the World Government was simply to get the 5 billion Berries you have, and then frame me for it.
As you all saw clearly just now, Doflamingo really intended to attack you, and I wasn't just making things up.
Dias Barreus's words not only angered the World Government, but also infuriated Doflamingo!
He originally thought that things were under his control, but he never expected that a nobody like Dias Barreus would be so audacious as to switch sides between him and the World Government!
Enraged, Doflamingo was about to finish off Dias Barreus when Corazon, looking flustered, suddenly grabbed him from behind.
Just as Doflamingo was about to shake off Corazon, he found a note being handed to him.
Because Corazon is always portrayed as unable to speak in the Don Quixote family, he can only communicate in this way.
Upon seeing the message written on Corazon's paper, Doflamingo once again became furious and laughed.
According to Corazon, who was tasked with monitoring Diaz Barreus's pirate ship, he had just discovered that Diaz Barreus's vice-captain was preparing to leave the island with the Op-Op Fruit.
After seeing Corazon's report, Doflamingo finally understood why Diablos Barreus had acted that way before.
Throwing the empty box to the World Government was not only a way to lure them into taking action and sow discord between the Donquixote Family and the World Government, but also a way to attract their attention and buy time for their vice-captain to leave the island with the Op-Op Fruit.
Once the battle here is over, and the Donquixote Family has searched the entire island of Minion without finding the Op-Op Fruit, then naturally they will not kill Dias Barreus.
By using this surgical fruit, Diaz Barrelus can not only gain a chance to live, but also negotiate with the Don Quixote family.
This escape from the jaws of death was a move that Dias Barrerus masterfully executed.
Unfortunately, Corazon has now discovered that Diablos Barreus's vice-captain is about to escape, so Doflamingo will naturally not let him get away.
"birdcage!"
Countless threads erupted into the air like a volcanic eruption, sending thousands upon thousands of transparent threads soaring high into the sky before they fell like a meteor shower.
The silk threads that fell to the ground formed a giant, arc-shaped birdcage extending from the sky to the ground, with the highest point of the ball of threads as the center.
The Birdcage was Doflamingo's strongest move before his Devil Fruit powers awakened, and it's usually a despicable move he only uses at the very end.
However, this time Doflamingo didn't wait until the end of the show to start using it; instead, he used it right from the beginning.
The reason is quite simple: Diablos's vice-captain might be heading to the shore by now, so how could Doflamingo possibly stand by and watch him leave with the Op-Op Fruit?
Like a birdcage, silk threads completely covered the entire island of Mignon, and these threads were extremely sharp.
Not only does it shrink towards the center over time, but the silk threads can also easily cut through the island's vegetation, and even the hard rocks on the ground cannot stop it in the slightest!
His technique is just as its name suggests: Birdcage. Anyone trapped inside is like a bird that can't fly away, and their life and death are entirely in Doflamingo's hands.
Chapter 209 Was the tiger lured away from the mountain?
“Diez Barrerus, you’re more capable than I thought.”
But if you think you can outmaneuver me with this little trick, you're being far too naive!
You thought you could get away with it by sending a first mate with the surgical results? Do you still think your first mate can escape?
Looking at Diablos Barreus not far away, Doflamingo revealed a smug smile, as if he had the whole situation under his control.
Meanwhile, Diaz Barrelus looked at the "birdcage" in the air with a grim expression.
However, after the initial embarrassment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, he had chosen to cooperate with the Navy traitor Wood; otherwise, Doflamingo's Birdcage alone would have been a disaster.
No one present, whether from the World Government or his Dias Barreus Pirates, will escape.
Doflamingo noticed the change in Dias Barreus's expression. Even though he had already seen through Dias Barreus's plan, Dias Barreus did not panic too much.
Dias Barreus's composure also made Doflamingo feel uneasy, as if it were something outside his plans.
