Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

There's no way around it. Even the most arrogant and overconfident person knows what's important. When your life is about to end, who cares about their image?

Luo Feng's final move undoubtedly shocked and terrified countless people...

But what Doflamingo feared most at this moment was not this, after all, he had successfully escaped from that attack and had not perished at sea with the Marine Headquarters.

What terrifies him most is that Luo Feng and his group are very likely to come to the New World and cause him trouble.

For no other reason than because of Luo!

Doflamingo was well aware of Law's hatred for him. This kid, who used to be someone he could easily bully and manipulate, had unexpectedly now latched onto such a powerful figure!

Given this relationship, it's clear that their family and the Godfall gang could never have a peaceful resolution.

Furthermore, during the Marineford War, Crocodile and Law both said they would come looking for him, which practically confirms that the Godfall Pirates will come looking for trouble soon!

The strength displayed by that group put Doflamingo under immense pressure...

Leaving aside others, Crocodile alone, that bastard crocodile with whom he had cooperated several times, gave him a major headache.

After all, he had fully recovered, and the strength he displayed in the Marineford War gave Doflamingo the illusion that he was difficult to deal with.

Keep in mind that he possesses Conqueror's Haki and his Devil Fruit ability has already awakened, making his strength undoubtedly terrifying, rivaling that of a Yonko's first mate in the New World!

BUT... he actually felt this pressure from Crocodile, who hadn't awakened either of these abilities yet, which was quite alarming!

This is just a ship's first mate, and he's already like this. What about Luo Feng?

The more Doflamingo thought about it, the more terrified he became. His expression grew increasingly serious, and cold sweat continued to stream down his forehead.

He was scared! (Nine.)

Chapter 260 Kaido: Shut up, Joker, are you trying to teach me how to do things?!

The usually arrogant and domineering Doflamingo was surprisingly afraid!

How many people in the entire ocean could inspire fear in this high and mighty celestial demon?

Perhaps only Kaido, that monster, could do that. The Grand Strategist Tsuru made Doflamingo fear him because of her special ability to cleanse people's souls, which is different from the pure power suppression of Kaido and Laugh Tale.

This means that, in Doflamingo's subconscious, he had already placed the Godfall Pirates on the same level as the Four Emperors!

There was no way around it; the strength that Luo Feng, this newcomer, displayed on the battlefield was simply too astonishing.

Doflamingo couldn't imagine how he would defend himself if they came knocking on his door...

What could the entire Don Quixote family, the "097" clan, possibly have to withstand this ship full of powerful figures? The answer is obvious: they have no resources or means to stop them!

During his eight-day journey home, Doflamingo kept thinking about this problem, and every time he thought about it, he would break out in a cold sweat...

Finally, he moved.

Doflamingo turned around, his back to the window, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He muttered to himself, "Fufufu... This is really troublesome."

"It seems this is the only way. I never thought I'd be scared by a little brat, driven to this point by a little brat...!"

With that, Doflamingo pulled a Den Den Mushi from inside his flamingo cape and dialed the number.

'Blu-blo-blo-blo…blu-blo-blo…'

'Gaga!'

The Den Den Mushi was answered, and a thunderous laugh came from the other end: "It's Joker."

"Oh ho ho ho... Is the new SMILE fruit finished? Not bad, that was fast! I have to praise you, Joker, this is the best news I've heard in days!"

On the other end of the phone, a drunken, extremely rough voice rang out, making everyone's ears ring.

That highly recognizable laugh was the one Doflamingo was contacting—none other than Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors!

This was the only way Doflamingo could think of to stop the Godfall crew and save himself.

There was no other way. With the Donquixote Family's resources, they simply couldn't compete with those people. The only option was to ask for help, to find powerful allies capable of resisting or even annihilating the Godfall Pirates!

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, was the first person Doflamingo thought of to help; he was Doflamingo's biggest 'backer' in the New World!

Fei Luqunjiu Qiwu Liusan Ersiyi Ling is an abnormally strong individual with immense intimidating power. If we can persuade him to come out of seclusion, this problem will surely be solved.

After all, the two sides are making a deal for SMILE Devil Fruits, so getting Kaido to help deal with the Godfall Pirates shouldn't be a big problem!

"Fufufu, Governor Kaido, I'm so sorry to disappoint you. The new SMILE Devil will take some time to develop. Once it's finished, I'll arrange a time and place for the transaction."

Doflamingo's glasses were reflecting light, and his expression was very unnatural. Although he was smiling, there was no real smile on his face.

"Oh? Since it's not finished, why are you ruining my drinking mood? I'm really annoyed right now, and I don't want to hear anything except good news!"

Upon hearing that there was no news about artificial Devil Fruits, Kaido's attitude completely reversed, and he reprimanded Kaido in an impatient tone.

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, showing that he was equally displeased. Given his personality, if it weren't for his fear of the other party and his need for help, he would have already lost his temper after being reprimanded like this!

"Fufufu... Governor Kaido, be patient."

"This time, I would like to ask you to come to Dressrosa to help me fend off a formidable enemy."

"You should have heard about the new face in the Marineford War, the captain of the Godfall Pirates, Luo Feng, Fufufu... He's very powerful. It won't be long before he comes looking for trouble with me."

"For the sake of a smooth transaction of the SMIEL Devil Fruit, I think Governor Kaido, you should come here and kill or capture that brat. You can do whatever you want with him as you please."

Doflamingo's tone was extremely sinister; he mentioned everything except asking Kaido to help drive away Luo Feng and the others.

Clearly, he thought the same thing: to let Kaido eliminate Luo Feng as a future threat once and for all!

"What?! It's the Godfall Pirates again, and it's Luo Feng again?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido's voice on the other end became incredibly loud, almost deafening. It was clear that this enormous monster was going berserk on the other side...

Upon hearing this commotion, Doflamingo's face lit up with joy; he knew things were looking up!

It seems that Kaido and that brat have quite a grudge against each other. Now that we can ask Kaido to come out of retirement, there shouldn't be any problem. He and the entire Donquixote Family don't need to worry anymore!

No matter how strong Luo Feng is, Doflamingo doesn't believe he can compare to the true peak of the Four Emperors!

However, it seems he was celebrating too soon...

"Joker, I'm getting more and more disappointed in you. You can't even handle a newbie kid?"

"If you can't handle it, you can send those kids to Beehive Island. Jack has already gone to find them!"

After Kaido went berserk for a while, he returned to calm, his voice utterly indifferent, coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Upon hearing this, the joy that had finally appeared on Doflamingo's face vanished instantly, as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on him, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Damn it, did Kaido get the wrong script? The plot isn't going right!

“But, Governor Kaido…” This time, he couldn’t laugh anymore. He quickly spoke up, trying to persuade Kaido to weigh the pros and cons of the matter for him!

"Shut up, Joker. Are you trying to teach me how to do things?!"

"I might go after this brat sometime, but I'm not in the mood right now. Don't spoil my drinking!"

"If you can't even handle a newbie, Joker, you're not worthy of working with me. Get lost! Come back to me when you've got this sorted out!"

　Five'Gajialing8480NineCangTuan! ThreeGroupsThree8'

Kaido's tone was extremely rude and impatient, not allowing Doflamingo to say another word, and simply told him to get lost!

After saying that, the Den Den Mushi's eyes drooped, and Kaido hung up the phone.

Staring at the drooping Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged, making him look ferocious and terrifying, and his expression grew increasingly horrifying...

On the back of his hand and arm, veins bulged out like writhing dragons as he gripped the Den Den Mushi with increasing force.

The Den Den Mushi, which looked remarkably like Kaido, was jolted awake by the immense force. Its face contorted in extreme pain, and it continued to scream in agony, appearing remarkably human-like.

In the end, Doflamingo exerted all his strength, and the Den Den Mushi let out a final scream before turning into dust!

"Kaido, you bastard!"

Chapter 261 Ming: Disgusting to the core, open the door for disgusting!

At this moment, Doflamingo was so angry that he jumped up and down, and was furious to the extreme!

However, no matter how angry he is, he can only bear it himself. He can't possibly vent his anger on Kaido; otherwise, he probably really wouldn't want to live anymore...

In the end, all he could do was rage in vain, venting his anger on Den Den Mushi, which resembled Kaido.

"I've created so many SMILE fruits for you, and in the end, this is how you treat our family. Just wait and see, if I manage to avoid this calamity..."

Doflamingo walked to the enormous throne, slumped down on it, and silently clenched his fists.

He was the kind of person who held grudges, and now Kaido showed no mercy, not only ignoring them at a crucial moment but also scolding them in his words, which made him want to rebel for a moment.

It is foreseeable that if Doflamingo survives this ordeal, his relationship with Kaido will inevitably break down afterward.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least resort to underhanded tactics?

Of course, that's all in the future. With Kaido's approach failing, Doflamingo was once again in a state of mental turmoil, feeling extremely troubled by the impending catastrophe.

Just then, the huge stone door of the conference room was pushed open.

Pica, Trebol, and Diaman 08, the three top executives, were summoned when Doflamingo returned, and now they have come together.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Doflamingo's face was extremely pale at this moment. He was covering his head and leaning against the armrest of the throne, a scene that left the three top executives somewhat bewildered.

After waiting for a while, Doflamingo finally sat up and then told the three of them everything that had happened.

"We saw it too, that new kid is really scary..."

"Kaido... I never expected him to be so heartless. Hey, Doflamingo, what should we do?"

The group chatted amongst themselves, all feeling somewhat uneasy. These once-arrogant top officials of the Don Quixote family were so terrified without ever having met Luo Feng and the others. Frankly, it was a bit laughable.

"Young Master, what do you think of BIG MOM? Should we try contacting her?"

Just then, Diamanti proposed a plan to contact another sea emperor, BIG MOM!

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo looked up, paused slightly, and remained silent before pondering the matter.

Big Mom is also connected to the Donquixote Family. As the king of the underground market on this sea, Doflamingo is simultaneously conducting secret transactions with two of the Four Emperors!

The deal with Kaido involved artificial Devil Fruits, while the deal with Big Mom involved experiments on human gigantification!

The experiment took place in Punk Hazard, overseen by Caesar. There were many children they had stolen from various places who served as experimental subjects. Their originally normal human bodies grew outrageously large under Caesar's constant experimentation, becoming comparable to giants!

There was no way around it; the old lady had a strong interest in the special races on this sea, to the point of obsession!

Especially the giants, since Caesar was under Doflamingo's control, the two began to cooperate.
