Chapter 30: Clash with the Navy

"Woahh woahh woahhh-—"

Loud cries rumbled throughout the royal city, tears flowing voluntarily. Doflamingo had grown accustomed to such scenes, so it didn't surprise him.

"Caesar, your death was so pitiful. Now I can't even avenge you." The mournful voice echoed, but it was actually Kaido's bad mood that Doflamingo had to deal with.

Doflamingo, however, knew that Caesar's death wasn't the real reason for Kaido's pain. He was merely using it as an excuse. 

But Doflamingo was a shrewd man, skilled in the art of persuasion. He used his sharp eloquence to console Kaido, knowing that if Kaido continued to wreak havoc, he would lose interest in the royal city.

If navy knew about Kaido's arrival. Perhaps Admiral Fujitora, a formidable man in the Navy, was already aware of the situation. However, he held back, mindful of his previous position as a Celestial Dragon.Moreover , Kaido is not someone to be taken lightly, after all.

Doflamingo's main desire was to witness the clash between the Marines and Yonko pirates, as long as it didn't harm him. He simply wanted to sit back and enjoy the chaos. 

The more chaotic the world, the better!

"Hiccup~"

Kaido fell asleep, undisturbed by any threats. He had come here alone, most likely due to his drunken anger and his desire to cause trouble for Mu Chen.

Doflamingo sighed softly, a wicked smile playing on his lips. 

"Come on, Whitebeard jr. I hope you arrive soon!"

As long as Mu Chen was alive, he would always feel threatened, but it won't be alive for long.

...

On the Dressrosa warship.

With terrible scar across Fujitora's eyes,he looked towards the royal castle with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a purple kimono and a general's robe.

"It seems like another major trouble is on its way."

"Oh~ It's Yonko Kaido. He's truly terrifying~" Kizaru commented with a perplexed expression, sitting on a chair and nonchalantly trimming his nails.

"Haha, reports indicate that Blackbeard will also come here, but we haven't received any news about Whitebeard jr's arrival yet."

Fujitora turned to face Kizaru, his smile widening.

"Troubles keep coming one after another. Why don't we intervene and capture Blackbeard first? He's quite notorious in the New World. The Four Emperors are truly a formidable force."

Kizaru replied nonchalantly.

This rookie pirate had already earned a bounty of 5 billion as soon as he made his debut. However, things weren't as simple as they seemed. The most important thing was that the World Government didn't know how he could possess a second Devil Fruits.

They had witnessed Blackbeard stealing the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit during the War. Over the past two years, Blackbeard had been wreaking havoc in the New World, claiming territories and utilizing the powers of two Devil Fruits. This much was certain.

Now another individual with the ability to possess same Devil Fruit had emerged. If the World Government managed to capture him and uncover the secret, it would be a groundbreaking discovery.

The significance of this discovery extended far beyond the 5 billion bounty.

Of course, as the current Fleet Admiral, Akainu had sent these two generals because Mu Chen had destroyed Punk Hazard, the island where Akainu had been stationed as Fleet Admiral. Akainu saw it as a direct challenge and considered Mu Chen a threat to his authority!

"Of course. The Blackbeard Pirates are a group of despicable criminals, and their crimes cannot be left unpunished."

Fujitora smiled and nodded, continuing.

"But isn't kuzaru readyto take action as well?"

"Oh, you are more than enough. If you can't handle it, then I'll intervene."

Upon hearing this response, Fujitora smiled and shook his head.As he knows that kuzaru is always there for help .

As a newly promoted admiral, he had heard a little about the other's style, and now that they were working together, he was even more convinced.

...

"hagahahahahaha!"

Blackbeard sat on his pirate ship, hugging several stunningly beautiful women and laughing heartily.

"How long until we reach Dressrosa?"

"Captain, at most two hours."

"Hahaha, excellent. Where is Whitebeard jr? Any news about his arrival?"

"Hohoho, not yet."

"Not yet? That brat shouldn't be scared anymore. Based on the distance, he should arrive at Dressrosa before us, haha."

Blackbeard's face contorted with mockery, but he was undeniably curious about Mu Chen, as he also possessed the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit.

As everyone knew, there was supposed to only be one type of Devil Fruit power. Blackbeard had schemed and fought for many years to obtain this particular power. And now, to his displeasure, another person possessing the same power had appeared.

However, if he could learn the secret behind Mu Chen's second Quake-Quake Fruit power, his own power would surpass that of the World Government! Becoming the Pirate King would be easy!

"But according to intelligence, the Navy has already arrived in Dressrosa, and at least one admiral is present. Should we temporarily avoid them? After all, our goal is Whitebeard jr."

Raphael smiled as he twirled his gentleman's staff.

"Hey, those Navy dogs have no foresight. Let's avoid them for now."

Blackbeard sneered, not wanting to get entangled with the admirals at the moment, though he wasn't afraid. That wasn't his purpose. If he fought the admirals, the other Yonko would take the opportunity to seize his territories.

He didn't want to lose the territories he had painstakingly acquired!

The power of the admirals was well-known, and their threats far surpassed those of a rookie brat!

"As you command, Captain, ho ho ho ho."

Raphael bowed respectfully.

However, while they aimed to avoid the Navy, the Navy wasn't going to let them off easily.

As they approached Dressrosa, naval warships rapidly approached them from the distance!

"Captain! A naval warship is approaching!"

The lookout pirate shouted loudly.

The rest of the pirates aboard the ship immediately prepared for battle, their excitement is visible on their faces. The Blackbeard Pirates were a group of ruthless lunatics. Blackbeard had ordered them to avoid the Navy, but now that the Navy had come to them, it was time to sharpen their swords and draw blood!

"Hahaha, since those foolish Marines lack vision, I'll beat them like a dog!"

Blackbeard pushed the women away, stood up with a surge of power, and growled triumphantly.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

"Hoo ho ho, Captain, aboard the naval warship is Admiral Fujitora . It's said that his abilities are incredibly powerful."

"Hahaha, thief, I'm not afraid of him!!!"

"Prepare yourselves to face the might of the Blackbeard Pirates!!!"
