The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Upon seeing Hawkeye admit it so readily and frankly, a strange look flashed in the eyes of Sengoku and Tsuru, who were sitting there.

As for Big Bear, he still didn't react, as if everything was irrelevant to him.

Doflamingo's eyes were hidden behind his pink sunglasses, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but one could see that his body paused slightly.

Is that so?

Sengoku's gaze lingered a little longer on Hawkeye, who remained completely unresponsive and calm, before he coughed lightly.

"Then let's officially begin the meeting..."

"Da da da?"

Before Zhan Guo could finish speaking, a tap dance suddenly came from the balcony.

【Thank you so much to 'Qingxi Yingyue' for the generous donation! Thank you!!!】

Chapter 144: Luffy makes a phone call in front of numerous powerful figures! His explosive words lead to the deaths of his father and brother!

"If it's possible, could I also sit in on this meeting?"

A soft laugh followed, "No, it might be a little different from simply listening in."

The man who laughed was holding the cane in one hand and holding the hat on his head with the other.

"Who are you?! Where did you come from?!"

Immediately, a navy officer stood up from the table and angrily rebuked him.

"I never expected to have the honor of meeting so many important people today. If you don't mind, I have a request."

As he spoke, the man began to twirl his cane and tap his feet.

"Please make sure I am included in this meeting!!!"

"This time, it's about deciding on a successor to Crocodile after he was stripped of his title recently, right?"

His face was as pale as a silent actor's, and his bright red lips were pursed into an exaggerated arc.

"You are, Lafayette, right?!"

A naval officer from the Western Sea immediately recognized him.

"Oh my, it's an honor that you know my nickname."

Lafayette held the brim of his hat in one hand and spun his cane behind his back with the other.

"Lafayette?"

Zhan Guo muttered the name to himself, saying he had never heard of it before.

"Lafayette '657' was a well-known security officer in the West Sea who was deported by the country due to excessive use of force during law enforcement!!"

"That's all in the past, Yao Yao Yao."

Lafayette chuckled, slowly pulling down the brim of his hat to cover his eyes. "Besides, my affairs are insignificant and unimportant."

"I have come here to recommend a man to become a Shichibukai."

"what?!"

Doflamingo, who had been listening attentively, couldn't help but voice a sarcastic question at this moment.

Some random guy who just popped out of nowhere dares to interfere in a meeting of this caliber and even has the audacity to recommend candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea to all the bigwigs present?! Isn't that a bit too arrogant and presumptuous?!

At least the equally arrogant Doflamingo disliked Lafayette intensely.

Just as he was about to say something more, and perhaps give him a couple of quick-fire shots...

“Brubrubrubru”.

The Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

Especially in this empty conference room, the ringing of his Den Den Mushi (electric scooter) sounded particularly abrupt and clear.

"Who?!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone around him, Doflamingo reluctantly took out a Den Den Mushi.

"This is... Bellamy?!"

He could tell who was calling as soon as he saw the Den Den Mushi's number.

"Why is that guy attacking at this time?!"

Doflamingo hung up the phone without even thinking.

Now is the time of the essence; he has no time to deal with this petty thug he casually recruited from Beihai.

However~

He had just lost signal, and before he could even look up at Lafayette again, the Den Den Mushi's blue ringtone started again.

Snapped! !

Doflamingo, his face already showing a hint of impatience, hung up the phone again.

How come he never realized before that Bellamy was such a clueless idiot?

Didn't you see that you had already hung up the phone? It's obvious you didn't want to answer or were busy, so why did you call back?!

but……

"Bulu Bulu~"

Then, the Den Den Mushi rang for the third time.

I think you should answer it.

The chief strategist, Crane, who was sitting there, spoke calmly for the first time.

The others, including the unexpected arrival of Lafayette, as well as Sengoku and Hawkeye who were already seated, all looked over with long, unsettling eyes.

Doflamingo's forehead was covered in 'well' symbols.

pat!

He picked up the phone receiver with a disgruntled expression.

At the same time, he silently vowed that if Bellamy didn't have something important to say, he would stop calling him repeatedly to harass him.

So after the meeting, he'll go to Magic Valley Town and dismember that clueless hyena into pieces!

"Hey?!"

Doflamingo asked this question, clearly suppressing his anger.

"Moshi moshi, hello hello hello?!"

To Doflamingo's surprise, a young man's voice, completely different from Bellamy's hoarse voice, suddenly came through the Den Den Mushi.

Moreover, the Den Den Mushi didn't manifest in Bellamy's messy blond hair; instead, it appeared as a straw hat!

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, Hawkeye straightened up slightly and opened his eyes a little.

Both the somewhat familiar tone of voice and the straw hat looked very familiar to him.

"Who are you?!"

Hearing that it wasn't Bellamy's voice, and that the Den Den Mushi didn't resemble Bellamy's, Doflamingo realized something was amiss. He raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Me? My name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!!"

The Den Den Mushi, with a perfectly calm and composed expression, delivered this classic self-introduction.

This expression makes it seem as if the confidence and understanding that he can become the Pirate King is engraved in his very bones.

At the same time, this arrogant and overbearing statement echoed throughout the conference room and reached the ears of every powerful person present.

"Luffy?!"

"Monkey??!!"

"One Piece???!!!"

Everyone reacted differently after hearing Luffy's self-introduction.

Those present are all top-notch sailors on the high seas, capable of stirring up endless waves with a mere stomp of their feet.

As a result, Luffy used the Den Den Mushi he found on Bellamy to announce his goal to everyone under these circumstances.

"That bastard Garp!!"

Sengoku, one of the only three people present who knew the inside story, felt his forehead throbbing just like Doflamingo's earlier, as if his blood pressure was constantly surging upwards.

"It's your family's doing again!!"

He can barely hear anything about that guy Karp or his family now.

If this incident hadn't involved the Seven Warlords of the Sea, requiring him, the Fleet Admiral, to personally intervene...

Otherwise, he wouldn't even show his face.

"Garp's grandson, Dragon's son?!"

He was a contemporary of Sengoku and Garp, and a comrade-in-arms to whom he could entrust his life. Tsuru glanced at the seemingly energetic Den Den Mushi and couldn't help but smile.

"So energetic, it's great to be young."

She viewed things purely from the perspective of a junior, without any bias or factionalism.

"Dorag's son..."

The bear straightened his posture slightly, staring at the Den Den Mushi, seemingly lost in thought.

"It really was their group."

A smile also flashed in Mihawk's hawk-like eyes.

He also realized that his sudden decision to come here as an observer had actually been the right one.

Who would have thought that the main culprit they were going to discuss would actually call them on his own initiative?

Not only did he not expect it, but none of the other marines present did, and even Doflamingo himself did not anticipate it.

"Monkey D. Luffy?!"

Upon hearing the name "Straw Hat Boy," which had recently gained fame, Doflamingo couldn't help but repeat it over and over.

But before he could continue his questioning, he heard the following from the other end of the Den Den Mushi:

"Idiot Luffy!! What nonsense are you spouting again? Can't you even figure out who we're talking to before you speak?!" The Den Den Mushi faithfully reproduced a woman's furious and exasperated voice.

It's obvious that this is Nami's voice.

"I didn't make things up!!"

Luffy's confident voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Even in front of my grandfather, in front of the Fleet Admiral, I dare say I'll become the Pirate King!!!"

"Ho!"

The group's gazes unconsciously drifted towards Sengoku, who was sitting there.

His face was gloomy, and he was gritting his teeth with hatred.

"What on earth did that newcomer called 'Straw Hat Boy' do to make Marshal Sengoku so angry?!"

The other marines also stared wide-eyed, their minds racing with speculation.

What they couldn't imagine was that Sengoku's anger wasn't directed at Luffy, but rather at his grandfather, a naval hero who constantly caused trouble and couldn't even skip this meeting to avoid responsibility and scolding.

A group of maritime bigwigs watched quietly as the Den Den Mushi kept making noises and thrashing around until it finally quieted down.

Yes, a bunch of big shots are just waiting here, which is quite a show of respect for Luffy and his crew.

"that……"

Luffy's voice came through the Den Den Mushi again, but the volume wasn't as loud as before. It sounded like he had just been scolded, and his voice was a little muffled.

"Are you the Doflamingo who killed his father and brother and then cut off his father's head as a gift?"

As expected of all the big shots present, Luffy immediately delivered this explosive 5.9 line.

"Killed my father and brother..."

The others were taken aback at first, then looked at the Den Den Mushi with some surprise and strangeness, then at Doflamingo, their eyes showing a slightly different expression.
