Hearing the voice from outside,
Shakuyaku was speechless.
He usually came back so late.
But today, he came back so early. Was he doing this on purpose?
Thinking of this, Shakuyaku stopped pretending.
She pointed directly at the white-haired old man who had just walked into the tavern and said, "He's Dark King Rayleigh. You can go find him."
Then, Shakuyaku took out a cigarette for women and lit it. The wispy smoke slowly rose.
Ryuya turned around and looked at Rayleigh.
He had long, wavy hair and a beard on his chin, both silver; he wore glasses, and there was a straight scar on his right eye.
He looked fierce, but there was no sense of gloominess, instead, he had a kind of sunny feeling.
Rayleigh looked at Ryuya, who was wearing the righteous cloak, and casually placed the tools in his hand on the bar counter.
Rayleigh looked at Ryuya and smiled, "White Dove-sama of the Navy, what brings you to this old man? You're not here to arrest me, are you?"
"If I were here to arrest you, I wouldn't be alone today. Besides, no one else knows that Dark King Rayleigh is a coating artisan on Sabaody Archipelago."
"You're not just here for a chat, are you?"
A look of curiosity flashed in the eyes of both Rayleigh and Shakuyaku.
They were well aware of the name White Dove-sama.
They naturally knew that White Dove-sama was one of the Navy's top fighting forces.
But in terms of fame, he even surpassed the other two Admirals.
"Of course not. Long story short, I want to ask you to coat my ship. I need it done within a day!"
Hearing Ryuya's words, Dark King Rayleigh unconsciously said, "Is that all?"
"What else do you think I'm here for?!"
Ryuya smiled and said to Dark King Rayleigh.
Rayleigh looked into Ryuya's eyes, constantly pondering his true intentions.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't find an answer.
So, Rayleigh said again, "Aren't you afraid that I'll sabotage the coating and have you drown at sea? You know, we're on opposite sides."
"If that were the case, you wouldn't be called Dark King Rayleigh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh's eyes emitted an extremely sharp gaze.
Immediately, the two burst into laughter.
Rayleigh immediately said to Shakuyaku, "Shakuyaku, get White Dove a drink too. It's on me!"
"You already owe me ten thousand berries. What are you going to pay with?"
"Isn't there White Dove-sama? You know, getting coated within a day is very expensive."
"It's fine, Fleet Admiral-sama will reimburse me."
Ryuya said, then sat down beside Rayleigh.
He chatted happily with Rayleigh.
"A New Threat"
Sabaody Archipelago.
Island 1.
Human Auction House.
Doflamingo stood on the highest floor, overlooking the auction below.
His brow furrowed, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
"Have you found any accurate information about the Ope Ope no Mi?!"
"Young Master, we haven't found it. This fruit has disappeared as if out of thin air. It's completely gone!"
Trebol said beside Doflamingo.
Since the Ope Ope no Mi was stolen by the mysterious person on Seagull Island, he had become increasingly angry.
Although the mysterious person's strength was constantly shocking the world, Doflamingo was still unwilling to accept it.
As long as the mysterious person hadn't revealed the ability of the Ope Ope no Mi, Doflamingo wouldn't give up!
As long as he had the chance, even if he had to pay a heavy price, he would get the Ope Ope no Mi in his hands.
He would absolutely not run away in a humiliating way like last time!
This would be a lifelong disgrace.
Even because of this matter, his prestige in the underworld was almost lost.
This made Doflamingo even more resentful of the mysterious person.
"Keep looking for me. Find out everything you can about the organization this mysterious person belongs to!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Trebol was about to leave when he finished speaking.
But at this moment, several of his subordinates rushed in from outside in a panic.
"Young Master, it's not good, it's not good! The slaves we just captured were taken away by a Navy woman."
"A Navy woman? What happened?"
Doflamingo, who was already in a bad mood, was instantly enraged when he heard his subordinates' words.
"We had just captured the slaves and arrived at Area 1, but one of the sluts named Stella escaped from her cage. She happened to meet a Navy woman, and all the slaves we just captured were taken away by her!"
"You useless fools! Since the slaves are gone, you don't need to live anymore!"
Doflamingo bent his fingers and snapped out a string.
The tough string cut through the air, whistling as it severed the heads of his useless subordinates.
The heads fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
It was like a fountain.
"Have someone clean this up. Let's go and see which Navy woman dared to seize my goods!"
Doflamingo's face was frosty as he walked towards Area 1 with Trebol.
Human trafficking was quite common on Sabaody Archipelago.
Doflamingo even had his own human auction house.
But that didn't mean it was a legitimate business. If the Navy discovered it, they would still confiscate it.
However, since Doflamingo became JOKER in the underworld, no one dared to touch his goods.
If he didn't handle this well, Doflamingo guaranteed that this kind of thing would happen more and more often.
After all, the guys in the underworld weren't good people!
"A New Threat"
On the other side,
Ain helped Stella up from the ground.
She used the katana at her waist to cut off their handcuffs and shackles.
"Are you okay?"
"We're fine. Thank you for saving us."
"It's what we Navy people should do. I've heard that illegal activities run rampant on Sabaody Archipelago, but I didn't expect them to be transporting slaves in broad daylight! I absolutely cannot forgive this kind of behavior!"
"Who can't be forgiven?!"
Doflamingo arrived at the scene at this moment, just in time to see Ain freeing the slaves.
He was filled with anger.
Veins popped out on his forehead.
The eyes hidden behind his orange-red sunglasses glared fiercely at Ain.
Seeing Doflamingo appear in front of her, Ain's expression was cold and resolute. She looked heroic.
She protected Stella and the others behind her, holding a sharp sword, and slashed at Doflamingo.
She said with righteousness, "No one who commits a crime can be forgiven!"
