Chapter 55: Building Momentum

The Celestial Dragons, who have always been arrogant, actually showed their intention to please Carl, and all this stems from Carl's identity as the sole heir of the Figarland family.

This identity is truly dazzling. To most people outside, Celestial Dragons are all the same. As long as they are Celestial Dragons, they are superior and cannot be disobeyed.

But in Mary Geoise, the home base of the Celestial Dragons, the Figarland family is definitely a special existence.

It is synonymous with power, and without Imu taking action, the Figarland family is the last barrier to defend the glory of the Celestial Dragons.

The treatment Carl was receiving now was also what Garling had enjoyed before, and he watched quietly.

Until a look of impatience appeared on Carl's face, he tapped a finger on the table and said in a deep voice, "Silence, it's time to talk about Doflamingo."

A faint kingly pressure emanated from Garling. Except for Saturn, the rest of the Celestial Dragons were stagnant in breathing. They smiled awkwardly and then returned to their seats silently.

Saturn didn't say a word during the whole process. In fact, he and Garling were no higher or lower in terms of status. It's just that today was the first time that Garling let Carl appear in public. He wisely lowered his sense of existence.

Even he has tacitly defined the nature of this meeting as Carl's "public meeting," and he is very happy to give the Figarland family's face.

As for Doflamingo, from the moment Carl's identity was revealed by Garling, he was completely reduced to nothing.

How can a traitor's son compare with Carl, the heir to the Figarland family?

If Garling hadn't brought the topic back to Doflamingo, no one would have even looked at Doflamingo again until the end of the meeting.

Doflamingo also felt that everyone was ignoring him, but no matter how angry he was, he could only grit his teeth and wait for Garling's final judgment on him.

And his life or death may depend on Garling's light words.

Jealousy, fear, unwillingness—all kinds of emotions were intertwined in Doflamingo's heart. He already wanted to leave here, but that would mean that he had completely given up the only chance to regain his identity as a Celestial Dragon, and he couldn't bear it.

Garling's eyes were cold, and he could feel Doflamingo's negative emotions because of his strong Haki.

He glanced at the Homing head and said, "How does it feel to kill your own biological father with your own hands?"

Doflamingo's body shook violently. This sentence was like opening up his scars. He gripped Honagu's hair tightly and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "It doesn't feel like anything. He deserves to die!"

"Give me a damn reason."

Doflamingo finally couldn't hold it any longer. He was only a ten-year-old child after all. Under Garling's questioning, his emotions finally exploded.

"He's so stupid! He killed my mother! And he let my brother and me live like that!"

Doflamingo told everything he had experienced outside the Holy Land. At the end of the story, he threw Homing's head out like trash.

The head rolled on the ground and did not stop until it hit the table leg.

The remaining affection between father and son in Doflamingo's heart turned into hatred at this moment.

He looked at the Celestial Dragons who were sitting on their chairs and looking at him like clowns and shouted in his heart,

"I was supposed to be one of them! My life is ruined!"

After hearing this, Garling just sneered, without even looking at the human head that fell on the ground, and said lightly, "Sure enough, he brought it upon himself. This kind of fate is natural for him."

Saturn said from the side, "Saint Garling, what do you think of Doflamingo's return to the Holy Land?"

Garling pondered for a moment and first glanced at a Celestial Dragon sitting diagonally across the corner.

This Celestial Dragon has green hair and an ugly face. Of course, apart from Garling and Carl, almost none of the Celestial Dragons present are good-looking, so his face is not outstanding here.

"Saint Mjosgard, Doflamingo is a member of your Donquixote family. Do you want him to come back?"

Carl raised his eyebrows when he heard the name.

He still has some impression of this Celestial Dragon. Isn't it the guy who beat up another Celestial Dragon in Mary Geoise to save Shirahoshi and was finally executed by Garling?

But now this guy has not been brainwashed by Otohime, and his personality is no different from other Celestial Dragons.

After hearing this, Mjosgard looked at Doflamingo with disdain and said, "Homing is the sinner who brought shame to the Donquixote family! Our family has expelled him. He and his family will never return to the family again in this life!"

Doflamingo felt as if he was struck by lightning. He stared at Mjosgard and clenched his fists.

However, Mjosgard turned his head and looked at Garling with a smile on his face and said, "Of course, it's up to you, Lord Garling, to decide how to deal with him. If you want him to come back, that's not…"

"Okay, I get it."

Garling waved his hand to interrupt. Under Doflamingo's uneasy gaze, he suddenly turned to look at Carl and said, "Carl, it's up to you to decide whether Doflamingo will stay or die."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and focused their attention on Carl.

Carl had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Garling would hand over the decision-making power on this matter to him.

Saturn, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Garling and already understood Garling's intention.

Garling is building momentum for Carl, letting other Celestial Dragons see the importance he attaches to Carl, and thus wants to completely consolidate the status of the heir to the Figarland family and allow him to gain a firm foothold in Mary Geoise.

When Saturn turned his attention to Carl with his arms folded, his expression suddenly changed. He noticed the black sword-shaped mark on the back of Carl's hand.

His eyes flashed, and he was surprised, "Is that the demon sword Muramasa?? Saint Garling has already given it to Carl!?"

Thinking of this, Saturn, who originally wanted to express his opinion, shut up completely. He had already made up his mind. No matter what decision Carl made later, he would have to support this even if he really wanted to come back.

Because the demon sword Muramasa is not only a symbol of the head of the Figarland family, its birth is of extremely important significance to the entire Celestial Dragons group.

That is a sword that can kill gods. Of course, the god does not refer to the Celestial Dragons who claim to be gods, but the Nika who will awaken again who knows when!
