North Blue, Sirico Island.
In fact, this island is not very far from Cervantes, and it can be reached in about five days.
It's just that Sirico Island is very small in size and lacks in resources, so it is uninhabited and undeveloped. It is a very common small desert island.
But at this time, members of the Donquixote Family and important partners are all gathered here.
In the temporary camp, the cadres of Donquixote Family, including Diamante and Vergo, were surrounded by a tent and rarely showed up.
Not far away, the remnants of the MADS research team were also sitting together.
Judge looked at his 'little friends', and then asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Caesar was the first one to answer, and said with a little fear: "The situation outside is too dangerous now, and the government of the world wants to arrest us. Anyway, I won't show up easily, why don't I just hide? Just join the Donquixote Family, anyway, Doflamingo seems to take care of us..."
Queen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I haven't thought about it yet."
In fact, in the past few days, everyone has considered the future path.
The same is true for Queen. He originally planned to go to New World after evading Marine's pursuit. He heard that the Beasts Pirates were recruiting Zoan ability users. On his own terms, he should be able to make a comeback after spending some time there.
As for MADS... not to mention that the world government is arresting them now, anyways Dr. Vegapunk, the leader, has been arrested by Marine, which means that this research team has come to an end. Everyone can work together here because everyone admires Vegapunk, but everyone else looks down on each other.
If the company goes bankrupt, the members must be disbanded!
At the beginning, they planned to go to New World, but Doflamingo fought fiercely with Marine Admiral, and the stalemate lasted for a few days, and Marine did not see victory in the battle.
This caused Queen's perception of Doflamingo to undergo an earth-shaking change.
At first, Queen only thought that Doflamingo was a "rich countryman" from North Blue. At most, he made some money through the so-called dark world, and Judge regarded him as an investor and used it to invest in the MADS team.
After getting in touch with him, he found that he and Doflamingo are really compatible in many aspects, mainly because they don't have any special moral bottom line. To put it bluntly, they are just bad enough.
Indeed, looking at it this way, the environment of the Donquixote Family is quite suitable.
However, Queen still feels that the future here is not big enough. You can't bet your future on the Donquixote Family just because you get along well with Doflamingo, right?
Those were his thoughts until Doflamingo "stepped up" against Marine and fought with Marine Admiral...although he didn't see exactly how Doflamingo fought against a Marine Admiral.
But Queen was greatly shocked!
How old is Doflamingo? In his impression, Doflamingo is 18 years old this year!
At the age of eighteen, he can play against a Marine Admiral for six days straight, which shows how terrifying Doflamingo's potential is!
Because of this, the scale in Queen's heart is already tilting. It is obvious that Donquixote Family is developing and just started, and Doflamingo has great potential. If they can join in at this time, they will grow bigger and stronger in the future. Wouldn't he also have a bright future this way?
In comparison, Kaido's side doesn't seem so attractive.
After all, Queen is not familiar with Kaido at this time, and does not know Kaido.
So Queen is waiting now!
Wait and see, if Doflamingo escapes from Marine Admiral alive, returns to the Donquixote Family, continues to be the young master of the family, leading the direction of the family.
Then he will bet his future with Doflamingo!
If Doflamingo can't come back, it means that his luck has come to an end. After a few days, the limelight will pass, and he will find a way to go back to New World and visit the Beasts Pirates.
In the end, Stussy looked at the other three people, and said: "You all know that I intended to quit MADS after this project is over. It's just that some accidents have happened, and everyone can no longer cooperate. Now, I will follow the plan in advance and return to New World to do my own things...
Judge and others were not surprised when they saw this. It seemed that they knew that Stussy was going to leave.
Finally, Caesar turned to Judge and said, "What about you? Judge?"
"Me? I'm okay. After all, I'm the king of a franchise country under the government of the world. Until the limelight passes, I'll keep a low profile. I think Marine won't come to trouble me again. Although it's a pity that I can't join you in research as the lineage factor theory has been banned, I will not give up in the future. If you have the opportunity, you can come to Germa to find me." Judge said immediately.
Just when a few of them were discussing where to go.
In the tent at the center of the camp, Vergo and others were surrounding a blood-red bat.
The bat seemed to be in suspended animation, and no one on the table moved.
"It's been almost a week, my lord..." Vergo whispered worriedly.
Gladius was also very impatient. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you give me a boat, and I'll go back and see what's going on? If the young master really encounters an accident, I will try my best to save him!"
As soon as Gladius finished speaking, Diamante slapped him on the head and said, "Smelly brat, it seems that you are loyal, right?"
Senor also directly said: "If the young master is really caught by Marine, then we should find a way to rescue the young master."
"Today is the last day, after today, we can no longer lurk here, we must get active, contact the rest of the family's resident and cadres, use the fastest speed to obtain the young master's information, and then formulate a plan." Vergo said in a deep voice.
Just as several people were discussing this, the bat that had been in a state of suspended animation suddenly moved.
Everyone's heart trembled, and they all looked at the bat intently.
In the next second, a puff of white smoke suddenly exploded from the bat, and then Doflamingo's cough was heard.
"Cough cough cough..."
When the smoke dissipated and the bats were gone, everyone saw Doflamingo sitting on the table with a weak face, his body was seriously injured and he was in a mess.
"My lord!!!" Gladius shouted excitedly.
Fufufufufufu...It seems that I escaped smoothly..." Doflamingo smiled weakly.
"Blood! Come on, bring in the prepared blood!" Vergo immediately stood up and greeted.
Soon, the Donquixote Family brothers in the camp took action, and after a while, a large amount of blood was poured into the water tank and brought to the tent.
These were prepared by Vergo and others, so several sea beasts were killed.
Soon, when Doflamingo absorbed the blood, his condition also recovered.
The injuries on his body have completely recovered, but it can also be seen that his spirit is quite tired.
Physical injuries can be recovered through abilities, but after a few days of beatings, the mental stress and exhaustion cannot be recovered by sucking blood.
When fighting Sengoku, Doflamingo was hiding his mental exhaustion. In fact, even if the blood mist was not completely consumed, Doflamingo might not last long.
"Doffy, what's the end result?" Diamante asked with some expectation.
Although he knew the result in his heart, he could imagine the result after seeing the miserable state of his young master just now.
But... what if a miracle happened?
Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Doflamingo rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even think about it, I was beaten badly, Marine Admiral...tsk, their reputation is really well-deserved."
After this battle, Doflamingo did not grow arrogant, on the contrary, he also deeply realized his own shortcomings.
Regarding his 'immortality', to be honest, it's already very powerful, didn't you see that even Sengoku couldn't kill him?
But the flaw is also very obvious, that is, his aggressiveness is too low.
After so many days of beating, he just resorted to sucking blood in the beginning to give Sengoku a hard blow, and the rest was just him getting beaten around.
If he had mastered powerful attacks such as the 'Elbaf's Spear' before fighting Sengoku, maybe the battle would have gone in another direction?
From the current point of view, his ability is too weak in terms of attack power, and he needs to make up for it as soon as possible, otherwise he will be a living target!
I'm not a masochist, what's the point of being hammered by someone?
