After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

"Where's Mom? How is Mom?"

Snag didn't know why Katakuri asked that, but answered truthfully, "Mom, Mom is on a date, but Martin just barged in."

"What? The Demon Sword Martin broke in?" Katakuri immediately had a bad feeling. "Then why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you protect Mom?"

Snack looked annoyed when he heard Katakuri's scolding. Protecting his mother? What a joke! His mother needs someone to protect her.

"Katakuri, Martin went in after the Donquixote Family. He was on a date with Mom and Doflamingo, so what danger could there be?"

"You bastard, how could you trust others? Don't you know Doflamingo is a Shichibukai? And Martin's fighting power is definitely at the level of a Yonko! You're trying to kill your mother!"

Snag's mind skipped a beat. He had really forgotten about this. He only knew that Martin and Doflamingo had a feud, but he had almost forgotten that his mother and Martin had a feud.

"Katakuri, I also want to go in and protect Mom, but I was stopped. Smoothie stopped me. The reason I was so slow to answer the phone was because I was fighting her."

"What? Smoothie's here too? Give her the phone!"

Snag glanced at Smoothie, then held out the phone, saying, "It's Katakuri's phone!"

Smoothie hesitated. Katakuri had taken good care of her when they were on Whole Cake Island; he was a good older brother.

Finally, she answered the phone, "Katakuri-nii, what's up?"

"Smoothie, stop bothering Snag. Tell him to go see Mom right away. Something must have happened to her. All the Homies in Treasure Kingdom are dead!"

"This! Brother Katakuri, I can't agree to that! I just promised Martin I would hold off Snag, I can't let him go in and cause trouble!"

"Something might really have happened to Smoothie's mother. Please, I'm begging you, she's still your mother!"

"Katakuri, don't be afraid. I can't let Snag in. Maybe Martin killed Mom. I can't let Martin be in danger!"

"Smoothie, stop laughing! Your mother is one of the Five Emperors. Martin may be strong, but how could this be possible!"

Katakuri thought Smoothie was telling a huge joke. Who was his mother? She was one of the Five Emperors of the New World, a long-established and powerful figure, while Martin was just one of the Five Emperors who had only recently risen to prominence.

There is definitely a significant gap in strength between the two.

"Brother Katakuri, you don't know, before we came to Dressrosa we went to the Whitebeard Pirates. Martin fought with Whitebeard. Although I didn't see the process, the island where they fought sank, but Martin was completely unharmed!"

"How is this possible? Smoothie, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Katakuri, do you think I'm joking? I forgot to tell you, Whitebeard was in a recovery state at that time. He was back to his peak condition before the battle!"

"Whitebeard at his peak during his recovery."

Katakuri gasped at the thought. If that were true, even his mother wouldn't dare to mess with Whitebeard.

"Could it be that Mom was really killed by Martin?"

Katakuri didn't resent Martin when he thought about this. He was loyal to Charlotte Linlin, partly because she was his mother, and partly because of her great strength. Most of the Big Mom Pirates were like that.

Katakuri took a deep breath and picked up the Den Den Mushi again: "Smoothie, since you're so confident, what are you afraid of? Go with Snack and see if Mom has been killed."

“This…” Smoothie hesitated. Katakuri’s words seemed to make a lot of sense. “Alright then, Katakuri-nii-san, but you have to make Snag promise me that he won’t cause trouble for Martin, even if Martin is going to kill Mom.”

“I promised you, Smoothie. You give the phone to Snag and me.”

……

"They're eating people!"

Although Doflamingo had long suspected that Charlotte Linlin would eat people, he was still shocked when it actually happened. Eating people was not something an ordinary person could do.

"What's going on!"

Doflamingo saw Charlotte Linlin, who was chewing, suddenly collapse to the ground and remain motionless, which puzzled him. However, he soon found out why, as Martin crawled out of Charlotte Linlin's mouth.

"Martin isn't dead, that's bad..."

Doflamingo exclaimed in surprise. He quickly realized that Martin was not dead, but Charlotte Linlin was lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance. He was in trouble now, since Martin had come to Dressrosa to kill him.

"Come on!"

Doflamingo hurriedly called out to Trebol and Diamante, wanting his two family members to escape as well.

Trebol and Diamante didn't need Doflamingo's reminder. When they saw Charlotte Linlin fall to the ground, they tried to run away, but Enel and the others held them back.

Martin had just finished cursing Charlotte Linlin when he saw Doflamingo leaping and bounding in the distance, trying to escape. Clearly, this guy had underestimated Enel's strength and was blocked at a distance, unable to break free.

Trebol, dealing with Lucci and the others' attacks, saw that Doflamingo was unable to break free and shouted, "Doflamingo, run!"

As Torrebol shouted, his body exploded, the slime on his body scattering in all directions, sticking together the people who were about to get close, while he himself remained firmly rooted to the ground.

Seeing that Doflamingo was still hesitating, Trebol said again, "Doflamingo, remember to avenge me!"

"Diamanti, let's go!"

Doflamingo turned and ran as soon as he finished speaking, knowing that this was an opportunity that Trebol had painstakingly created for him.

Enel saw Doflamingo trying to escape, but he was stuck to the ground. He instantly activated his Devil Fruit power, his whole body crackling with lightning. He turned bright red, and waves of heat emanated from his body. The temperature was rising higher and higher, about to reach its ignition point.

Seeing Enel's rising body temperature and the surge of lightning, Trebol felt no fear, but instead revealed a victorious smile; he was prepared to die.

"Get it going! Raise the temperature quickly, hahaha!"

"Enel, stop!"

Martin, who had rushed over from a distance, shouted urgently. He knew the properties of Torrepol slime; once it came into contact with fire, the slime would burn rapidly and might even explode, with unimaginable consequences.

"Explode! Explode! Ahahaha!"

After laughing, Torrepol waited for a long time, but nothing exploded. "Why, why didn't it explode!"

Trebol, who was prepared to sacrifice himself, suddenly opened his eyes. He found that Enel, who had been continuously releasing lightning, had suddenly stopped. Then, a bone-chilling cold air came from the slime, which was frozen in an instant, becoming very brittle and losing all its stickiness.

"Dad, thank goodness you told me, otherwise if I had lit this slime, our place would have been blown up!"

After Martin told Enel to stop, he quickly told him about the properties of Trebol's slime, which terrified Enel so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately stopped his lightning attack.

Martin then used his Sode no Shirayuki sword to slash Torrepol.

"Oh!"

Trebol, who had turned into a giant block of ice, was kicked apart by the enraged Enel, turning into pieces of ice. Even in death, he couldn't understand why Enel stopped at the last moment when he was about to succeed.

"Doflamingo, why are you running away? Didn't you call me to come to the island to kill you?!"

"Looking at Doflamingo flying away in the distance," Martin shouted.

Doflamingo turned around and saw that Martin had caught up. He quickly quickened his pace. Charlotte Linlin had been killed inexplicably, and he didn't want to be the next one. If you have the ability to act tough, that's awesome. If you don't have the ability to act tough, that's stupid.

"Run! Run again! Let's see where you can run to!"

Doflamingo suddenly heard Martin's voice beside him. He turned around and was so frightened that he quickly ran in another direction. He didn't know when Martin had caught up with him.

"Empty path!"

Doflamingo pointed a finger, and several threads shot into the air from his hand.

Not long after, a bead of cold sweat dripped from Doflamingo's forehead; the silk thread he had just shot into the air hadn't caught anything.

Doflamingo looked up and saw that the air was as clear as a mirror, completely empty, without a single cloud, except for a few crows flying by, cawing incessantly, as if mocking him, "You're dead, you're dead!"

"Young Master, you must leave quickly! I'll hold him off!"

At this moment, Diamante stepped forward and stood in front of Doflamingo.

Diamanti never expected things to develop this way. A newcomer whom he looked down on actually had this strength, and he actually had to fight to the death.

This time, Doflamingo didn't hesitate and immediately took off running. Having witnessed Martin's speed before, he simply didn't have the courage to waste time escaping.

"Dad, you go after Doflamingo, I'll take care of this guy."

Just as Martin was about to launch an attack, Enel caught up from behind and blocked Amanti's path.

"This guy is yours!" Martin jumped into the air and chased after Doflamingo in the direction he had fled.

"Don't even think about chasing after the young master!"

Diamante saw Martin walk past him to chase after Doflamingo, and raised his sword to slash at Martin.

"Oh!"

Enel punched the sword and said, "Your opponent is me!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Seeing that her attack was blocked, Diamante frantically slashed at Enel with her sword, wanting to end the battle quickly so she could go and support her young master.

"Trebol, Diamante, don't worry, I will avenge you." Doflamingo said viciously as he ran towards the palace.

"I'm afraid you won't have that opportunity."

At this moment, Martin caught up again and said to Doflamingo.

"How could it be so fast? Diamanti couldn't even hold him off for a moment? Damn it! As soon as we get to the palace, as long as Sugar just touches him lightly, I'll have a chance to turn the tables. Faster, faster!"

Doflamingo yelled, not expecting Martin to catch up so quickly again. Diamante hadn't even given him a few seconds.

He believed that as long as he could get to the palace, Sugar's lovely appearance and terrifying abilities could become his chance to turn things around.

That's right, now the only way to turn things around is with sugar.

Chapter 224 Stomping Doflamingo, the Hatred of Killing One's Mother

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! Why did this bastard have to get in my way? The Celestial Dragons aren't all dead yet! How can I die like this?!"

"Young Master, what happened? What's going on?"

Just as Doflamingo was feeling extremely frustrated and thought he was about to die, a sharp greeting came from the ground, and another of his generals, Pica, suddenly emerged from the ground.

"Pika, what are you doing here? I didn't send you to protect Sugar in the castle!"

Doflamingo was excited to see Pica, but he still quickly asked, "Sugar is the core strength of the family. If something happens to Sugar, even without Martin, the Donquixote Family is doomed."

"Young Master, Sugar is safe. Monet is protecting her. Dressrosa was shaking violently just now, so I went down to check the rock structure. When I came up, I saw you, Young Master. What happened, Young Master?!"

"There's no time to explain, get me back to the palace immediately!"

Upon hearing that Sugar was alright, Doflamingo immediately gave instructions to Pica.

"Yes, young master!"

After Pica, the ground rippled, and a passage appeared before Doflamingo.

Doflamingo glanced at Martin, then plunged into the tunnel.
