Chapter 167 Five Elders Is Considering Substitution

"Law, it's you... We haven't seen each other in a long time, but I still can't seem to find you," Doflamingo said with a furious expression, yet smiling.

"Doflamingo, the one you're looking for, is in my hands." At this moment, the Den Den Mushi transmitted Caesar's cry for help.

"Where are Baby 5 and Buffalo's bodies?"

"What do you think? Don't ask such boring questions. Let's make a deal." Law said.

"Calm down, kid. act like an adult. Wherever you are, don't make me angry," Doflamingo said.

"Make you angry? For you, the most important trading partner right now is Yonko Kaido. You shouldn't be making him angry, right?" Doflamingo's face darkened.

"If he finds out you can no longer produce SMILE fruits, what will he do? He's an unreasonable man, so there might be a fierce battle. And then, he'll kill you."

At this moment, Kaido, who was watching the image, felt his forehead veins bulging. He couldn't let this go. How dare this brat plan to use him... Does he want to experience the wrath of the Thunder Bagua?! He really thought Kaido had no brains?

Kaido was furious. This kid had crossed the line. He thought he could use Kaido like a puppet just because he broke the SMILE production.

Kaido glared at Law, praying he wouldn't fall into his hands. If he did, Kaido would make him understand how painful the Thunder Bagua was!

However, seeing Caesar being captured, Kaido felt a bit uneasy about Doflamingo's SMILE fruit. He then called Jack and asked him to go to Dressrosa to back up Doflamingo and stabilize the situation.

In any case, he had to get his Beast Pirates in order, and no one should stand in his way; whoever dared to stop him would pay the price.

...

"Law, you're taking this joke too far! What do you want me to do before I'm willing to hand over Caesar? Tell me your conditions." Doflamingo said.

"Give up your position as a Shichibukai!" Law said on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Doflamingo's face darkened, but before he could speak, the decapitated Baby 5 and Buffalo's bodies protested in anger.

"What is this kid talking about?!"

"We won't be able to stay in Dressrosa anymore!"

Law continued, "I want you to abandon everything you've built in the past ten years and go back to being a pirate. However, if you do that, the Admirals won't let you off easily, right? The deadline is tomorrow morning's newspaper."

"If news about you giving up your position as a Shichibukai is reported, I'll contact you again. If there is no news, it means the negotiations have broken down. Goodbye." The Den Den Mushi was hung up.

Doflamingo's face was filled with anger as he stared at the Den Den Mushi, his expression constantly changing.

Seeing this scene, it seemed that Law's goal was to capture Caesar and deal with Doflamingo. Now that Caesar had fallen into Law's hands, how would Doflamingo respond?

People were very curious.

The scene changed, and Doflamingo arrived at Punk Hazard. The G5 Marine branch members were waiting for reinforcements to prepare to leave. Their warships had been destroyed by Law, so they had to wait for the ships to arrive before they could depart.

At this moment, only the decapitated Baby 5 and Buffalo's bodies were tied up and controlled by them.

Suddenly, Doflamingo appeared and placed their heads back on their necks. Then he activated his Conquer Haki, causing all the Marines on the ground to faint.

This Shichibukai displayed his king's aura in front of the entire world.

Next, Smoker arrived and tried to stop Doflamingo from killing the Marines. However, he was no match and was subdued by Doflamingo, who wanted to know Law and the Straw Hat's whereabouts from them.

Smoker remained silent, and just when Doflamingo was about to strike, a tall man appeared behind him.

"Can you please step aside?" The people widened their eyes as they looked at this man. It was none other than Kuzan, the former Marine Admiral who had left the Marines. How did he come here? Moreover, he had appeared during the Zephyr incident as well. What had he been doing after leaving the Marines?

With a cold breath emanating from his mouth, Kuzan said, "He's my friend."

Doflamingo didn't hesitate and was about to end Smoker's life.

In that instant, a chilling aura burst out from Kuzan, freezing Doflamingo instantly, turning him into an ice sculpture.

The power of an Admiral was terrifying. The invincible Doflamingo had been frozen in place.

Everyone stared at this scene, curious about whether Doflamingo and Kuzan would have a big battle here.

Then, the ice around Doflamingo was shattered by him, and the two locked eyes. Afterward, Doflamingo walked past Kuzan with an indifferent expression.

Seeing him pass by again, people felt powerless to comment.

"What on earth is Kuzan doing every time he appears? Why does he never seem to do anything serious?"

However, when they thought about the fact that Kuzan was no longer a Marine, it seemed normal for him to do nothing. But even when he was a Marine

...

In the image, Doflamingo escaped while talking shamelessly, "Hehehe... I don't want to fight you, but I have to shut that guy up. Let me change my plans. Tell me one thing, Kuzan! Who are you now?"

Doflamingo asked the questions that many people had in their minds.

An Admiral leaving the Marines and later joining the Blackbeard Pirates, the span was just too unbelievable. Although they didn't have a good impression of Kuzan and thought he was an incompetent Marine, they didn't believe he would become a pirate.

They suspected that there might be some hidden secrets behind this.

Moreover, after the incident where Doflamingo and the Shichibukai manipulated each other, they strongly suspected that Kuzan was also an Imposer, sent by the Marines to join Blackbeard Teach's crew.

But there was something interesting about this.

The Five Elders were not aware of this, and they even blamed Akainu for it.

If Kuzan was a spy, and the Five Elders were unaware of it, did it mean that the Marines were starting to have their own ideas and didn't want the Five Elders to interfere?

If that was the case, it seemed that Akainu wasn't as obedient as the Five Elders thought.

At the same time, in Mariejois, the Pangea Castle.

The Five Elders' faces turned serious after hearing Doflamingo's words, and they thought about that image.

If Akainu and Kuzan were scheming behind their backs and hiding it from them, then Akainu had a problem!

As rulers, they hated being undermined by those below them, especially when those subordinates controlled a huge military force like the Marines. They needed to be cautious and vigilant.

Choosing Akainu as Fleet Admiral was because he was obedient. If Akainu wasn't as obedient as he appeared, it was time to consider a new Fleet Admiral. Besides, Akainu's reputation wasn't that great...

They didn't need a Fleet Admiral with too many ideas.

...

People were waiting for Kuzan's response, but obviously, Kuzan wouldn't answer such questions, especially with Doflamingo on the other side.

Doflamingo didn't get angry for not getting an answer either, and he left with his indifferent demeanor.

In the air, Doflamingo's voice came, "Just a wanderer, different from a determined man... the expressions are different."

The scene shifted, and Kuzan looked at Smoker, who was wrapped in bandages. "From the beginning, I never thought the World Government represented everything in this world. Even if I'm no longer part of the Marines, I'll still do what I can. It's because I left the Marines that I can see certain things."

The Five Elders were even more annoyed after hearing Kuzan's words. They had already seen that this guy was rebellious, opposing the World Government at Ohara and likely to do the same in the future. They would never give the position of Fleet Admiral to someone like Kuzan!

...

"Why are you here?" Smoker asked.

"Just came to see you," Kuzan replied.

"How did you know I was here?" Smoker asked, glancing at Kuzan on the ground, "You're not involved with the underground world now, right? Former Admirals..."

"Smoker, I'm still me," Kuzan said.

Smoker paused for a moment, "That's good, then."

"Anyway, you all need to pay attention to Doflamingo. He's a member of the Shichibukai and also the current king of Dressrosa. Report this to Akainu; let the Admirals take action. The worst-case scenario is that the situation will undergo a drastic change. It's the most significant event for the new Marineford under Akainu's leadership. I've warned you, remember, if you encounter something related to me..." Kuzan made a gesture of silence.

The scene shifted to the Straw Hat Pirates, and they saw a newspaper reporting that Doflamingo had left the Shichibukai and given up the throne of Dressrosa!

In addition, Shichibukai Trafalgar Law and the Straw Hat Pirates have formed an alliance, and it is still uncertain what the World Government will do to Trafalgar Law.

In addition, fellow Supernovas Kid, Apoo, and Hawkins have formed a pirate alliance.

In the next scene, Dressrosa was in chaos due to Doflamingo leaving the Shichibukai.

Doflamingo received a message from Law. They agreed to meet eight hours later at Green Bit to hand over Caesar.

The scene then cut to the Marineford in the New World's G1 Branch, now renamed the new Marineford.

The Marine higher-ups were discussing the situation of Doflamingo leaving the Shichibukai.

Admiral Akainu interrupted, " I understand what you mean."

"I won't let Law or the Straw Hats cause trouble Smoker already reported to me yesterday. Let's observe for a day; I've already sent Fujitora over."

Upon hearing the code name "Fujitora," everyone's pupils shrank. What they were most curious about now was whether this Fujitora was the same Fujitora they knew.

If it was, then there would be a good show to watch.

At the Marineford, Sengoku were watching the screen.

In Mariejois, the Five Elders were looking at the screen with serious expressions.

On the NEO Marine battleship, Zephyr and Fujitora were also watching the screen.
