One Piece: The story was spoiled for Im Saint right from the start.

really.

When Doflamingo heard that he could regain his Celestial Dragon status, even his breathing changed.

But he quickly calmed down, his face full of suspicion and uncertainty.

“€€€€€€～”

"You wouldn't be so stupid as to play a trick on me, would you?"

Doflamingo was not surprised that Saint Germain (Sumeru) knew he had once been a Celestial Dragon.

Leaving aside other matters.

The surname Don Quixote alone is enough!

Also.

He followed the lead of Saint Germain (Sumerian Saint Ma), essentially treating him as a subordinate. He was flexible and didn't really care.

Doflamingo's current doubt is whether the other party actually has that authority.

"Whether I'm playing you or not, you'll find out once you come to Egherd!"

"I believe you have that much courage!"

After Sumer finished speaking, he immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

The original plan was to send Rob Lucci and his group to the Bank Zone to capture Caesar Clown and search for the Pink Dragon Fruit.

He had guessed that Doflamingo might appear.

So he instructed Rob Lucci and the others to notify Doflamingo as soon as he appeared.

Sumer just said he admires Doflamingo, and he wasn't kidding; he genuinely admires him.

Furthermore, Doflamingo is very capable and has a large following, which he can fully utilize.

The key is that the bargaining chip to keep Doflamingo hooked is simple: that guy dreams of regaining his Celestial Dragon status.

But for Sumer, this was just a matter of a single sentence.

If he can get Doflamingo to do things for him with just a word, why not?

143. Cloned Luffy, artificial Nika Fruit

"Doflamingo, you don't need to question Lord Sumer's authority."

"indeed!"

"The power and status of the Holy Lord of Sumer are equivalent to those of the Five Elders."

Rob Lucci and the others never expected that Doflamingo was also a Celestial Dragon, and apparently, a Celestial Dragon whose identity had been stripped.

No wonder the Holy Lord Sumer gave specific instructions before we came.

Seeing Doflamingo frowning in thought, it seemed he was still questioning the authority of the Holy Lord Sumer.

Gabra, the owl, and the others couldn't help but raise their heads, their faces full of arrogance.

"Equivalent to the Five Elders!?"

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow, becoming increasingly suspicious.

This sounds completely false, and ridiculously so!

“€€€€€€€€€€”

"Aigherd? It seems I should make a trip there!"

Regardless.

Doflamingo has decided to go to Egerhard. Given his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and his past as a Celestial Dragon, the World Government is unlikely to treat him the way they treated Gild Tesoro.

Moreover, Doflamingo was confident that he could easily escape even if there was an ambush.

He might even be able to capture Saint Ergenman (Sumerian Saint) and gain some benefits from Gild Tesoro or the World Government.

Anyway, the worst outcome is just that I've made a wasted trip.

But what if Saint Ergen—the Sumerian Saint—could regain his Celestial Dragon status...?

Egherd.

Sumer smirked after hanging up the Den Den Mushi; the Newspaper King had taken the bait.

Once the opponent arrives in Egherd, he will use Observation Haki to foresee the future and the Poneglyphs to defend against them, thus shocking them.

Furthermore, restoring Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon status would likely make him obedient in a short period of time.

It is foreseeable.

The two sides will get along very well in the future.

Of course.

If Doflamingo doesn't obey, he has plenty of ways to deal with him.

Since he can restore someone's Celestial Dragon status with a single sentence, he can naturally also strip someone of their status with a single sentence.

"Lord Sumer, news has come from Kalifa that Vegapunk has overcome the bloodline factors of Koby and the Straw Hat Boy."

Bakara pushed open the door and entered, bringing Sumer good news.

This caused Nami and Robin, who were serving Sumer, to pause, but they quickly recovered.

"So fast!?"

Sumer's face was full of joy. He stood up naked from the bathtub and beckoned Bakala over.

The latter blushed slightly, already knowing what Sumer was about to do.

"I've had such good luck ever since I got you!"

"You absolutely must be rewarded handsomely!"

Sumer pulled Bakara into the bathtub and slapped her buttocks hard.

Then forge ahead.

One can imagine how happy Sumer was.

After half an hour.

In Vegapunk's laboratory, Sumer, wrapped in a bath towel, was intently watching the lineage factors arranged on the projection screen.

Not surprisingly.

This was like reading gibberish to him, seriously touching on areas where his knowledge was lacking.

“Sage Sumer, this is Koby and those bloodline factors.”

"They are all aberrations."

"This is incredible, unreasonable, and absurd."

Vegapunk was both excited and thrilled.

After analyzing the lineage factors in the blood samples provided by Koby and Sumer, he...

It was discovered that the ancestral factors in Koby's blood, as well as those in other blood types, were significantly different from those in normal individuals.

It's not just the order of arrangement; the combinations alone are far more numerous than those of a normal person.

In particular, one of the blood samples was labeled "Protagonist".

Generally speaking.

Some abnormal gene arrangements can cause serious gene mutations, which may lead to diseases, lesions, intellectual disabilities, and so on.

However, these abnormal arrangements, when placed within these bloodline factors, through different combinations, not only did not collapse, but instead unleashed unimaginable forces.

It's almost as if God deliberately arranged it.

Vegapunk has studied the bloodline factors of many humans, animals, and other races, but the only one who is so extraordinary and powerful is Kaido of the Beasts.

"I just want to know, if I copy the bloodline factors of [Koby] and [the protagonist] one-to-one, will I be able to obtain the same physique and talent?"

Sumer glanced sideways at the very excited Vegapunk.

to be honest.

Bloodline factors are DNA!

Like the clones created by Vinsmoke Judge in the original work, they were actually created by replicating the DNA of certain people one-to-one.

"I don't know about that."

The excitement on Vegapunk's face slowly faded, replaced by doubt and a barely perceptible wariness.

Because he did not know what Sumer's purpose was.

"I don't understand!?"
