I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

No matter life or death.

"Find the Flame Demon. I'll take action myself then," Garin gritted his teeth.

"I will tear him to pieces in front of the whole world, so that everyone will know that the world's nobles cannot be humiliated."

“The Navy, people’s hearts have changed,” Mercury said slowly from the side, who had been silent.

His gaze was extremely deep.

The other five elders and Garin stared at Mercury, their words carrying a chilling undertone that made people uneasy.

The tragedy of the Celestial Dragons was so sensational, and with the help of many forces, it spread throughout the world in a short period of time.

The image of nobles willingly becoming slaves in order to survive spread to countless households.

A fantastical fairytale world, a place that fulfills the fantasies of countless children.

Charlotte Linlin, one of the Sea Emperors, sang a song, held up an umbrella, and occasionally picked mushrooms. Candy rained down from the sky, the sun smiled, the clouds drifted by, musical instruments played by themselves, and the forest danced along.

Many children joined the older women in singing and dancing.

This is Cake Island.

In some ways, it's a paradise on earth, comparable to a candy house in a fairy tale.

"Mom, Mom!" Brûlée, the user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, ran over in a panic.

"The results are in for the Balrog and the Celestial Dragons,"

The woman paused.

The beautiful music and dance stopped simultaneously.

"Mama mama, really?" The old lady laughed heartily, waved her hand, and the music started again.

"I guess the Balrog has escaped, and the Sabaody Archipelago is in ruins."

“That’s right,” Brulee said admiringly. As expected of her mother, she guessed it right away.

"As expected, the Celestial Dragons' counterattack was something Balrog couldn't handle. His escape beforehand was quite clever."

"He dared to brutally kill a Celestial Dragon in public; he had some guts, but unfortunately, he was a bit weak."

Brulee found something was off more and more as she listened.

"No, Mom, Balrog is fighting a fierce battle with Akainu in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the Navy has suffered heavy losses."

Katz.

The music paused again.

The woman suddenly turned around.

"What did you say? Fighting Akainu? The Navy suffered heavy losses?"

“That’s right,” Bry swallowed hard.

"let me see."

The woman grabbed the intelligence report and examined it closely.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, Balrog fought fiercely with Admiral Akainu and former Admiral Zephyr. Seven Marine Vice Admirals were killed, 10 warships were destroyed, and 40,000 people were injured or killed.

Two more members of the Order of the Gods subsequently died.

Finally, the Balrog's bounty is 30 billion Berries.

The more the woman looked, the more rapid her breathing became.

"Is the intelligence accurate?" His voice was somewhat distorted.

That's just too exaggerated.

Individually, they're nothing special, but when put together, they become exaggerated.

To put it simply, let's ignore the two sides in the conflict and only look at the losses.

This was clearly a major battle fought by the navy, a decisive battle of the main forces, and it ended in a crushing defeat.

So, when everyone thought the other side was some powerful force, you're telling me it's just one person?

“The news has been confirmed,” Bry said, still shaken.

"it is true."

When Brulee first saw it, she also thought it was a hallucination or a lie told by intelligence personnel.

But after confirming it repeatedly, even if they were unwilling...

Brulee had to admit it was true.

The seemingly unbelievable information is actually true.

"Mondor also confirmed it."

Charlotte Montord, a user of the Book-Book Fruit, specializes in intelligence work.

The woman fell silent.

The sky gradually changed from bright sunshine to overcast skies. A strong wind picked up, and Brulee's breathing became rapid, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.

"Mama mama, another powerful figure has arrived on the sea!" the old woman laughed heartily.

In an instant, the sunny weather turned cloudy.

A powerful individual who dares to cause trouble for the Celestial Dragons and wage war against the World Government.

The older woman also thought that Dick did a great job.

With very few exceptions, no one has a good impression of the Celestial Dragons.

"I remember the intelligence indicated that the Flame Demon is only 19 years old, right?"

"Yes, Mom."

"He's 19. I don't know what his bloodline is like. He certainly won't disappoint."

Bree: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

The country of peace.

JOKER, formerly known as the Heavenly Demon, now known as Doflamingo the Calamity, is enjoying a hearty drink with his subordinates.

On one side are the Celestial Dragons who kicked him out of the house, making him experience the full spectrum of human emotions;

On the other hand, there's the bastard who ruined his grand plan, drove him out of Dressrosa, and even dared to threaten him.

Both sides are fighting like dogs, and no matter who wins, Doflamingo will be happy.

It would be even better if we both perished.

Ming felt he could laugh for three days and three nights.

"Cheers, fu!" Ming raised his glass.

Señor, Jora, and others drank together.

Ming downed the drink in one gulp, feeling a sense of exhilaration.

"Ember Demon Dick, you better not die so quickly. You should cause the Celestial Dragons a lot of trouble, and then die by my hand," Doflamingo thought to himself.

"Young Master, intelligence has arrived."

"explain."

Ming swirled his wine glass.

"..." Deringer looked at the intelligence, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he rubbed them carefully.

That's right.

That’s right.

“What are you standing there for? Read it.” Señor frowned.

He was dawdling and his hands were trembling; he really did turn into a woman.

Señor peeked out and, after seeing the information, was instantly stunned.

Is he dreaming?

"What intelligence? Tell me. I can accept even the most absurd news." Doflamingo crossed his legs, looking relaxed and carefree.

"4 naval personnel were killed in action."

"Huh?" Ming's wine glass shattered, and his expensive clothes were stained with wine.

"Seven lieutenant generals from headquarters were killed in action."

Ming stood up abruptly, shattering the stool into pieces.

"Two members of the Divine Knights were killed in action."

Unable to contain himself any longer, Ming grabbed the intelligence report and began to examine it closely.

After confirming the authenticity of the information several times, Doflamingo was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter that lasted for a long time.

The laughter contained joy, anger, confusion, and schadenfreude—a complex mix.
