"Urgent report... Urgent report!"
A black shadow streaked across the sky, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
In their understanding, only when major events occurred on this sea would Morgans, the news magnate, dispatch his news birds to deliver the first-hand information as quickly as possible.
Although the sea had been chaotic enough lately, with endless major news, many people had become numb.
However, facing the sudden appearance of the news birds, a sense of urgency appeared on their faces.
"Give me one!" Kai's eyebrows twitched, and he took out some Beli, tossing it into the sky.
After accurately catching the Beli, the news bird threw the newspaper down.
The other Navy soldiers followed suit.
Soon, over ten newspapers were instantly cleared.
Zephyr and Garp eagerly approached Kai, staring at the newspaper in his hand.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a familiar face on the front page, with a cunning smile, which made their expressions falter.
The giant headline shook everyone's nerves.
"Current Seven Warlord, Donquixote Family, King of Dressrosa, Heavenly Miasma Doflamingo, will hold a Devil Fruit fighting tournament in Dressrosa in seven days."
"The fruit to be offered as a prize this time has been confirmed to be an Animal-type Mythical Zoan. However, its specific form is not indicated!"
Urgent words echoed on the deck.
Faced with Doflamingo's sudden move, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
Garp and Zephyr exchanged glances, then immediately looked at Kai.
"Kid, you're not planning to go and snatch this Devil Fruit, are you? Doflamingo is a cunning fellow. Suddenly holding such a tournament is probably a trap!" Zephyr couldn't hold back.
He had always disliked pirates.
However, this time Saitama not only saved him and his accompanying students.
He also reattached his severed arm.
Based on this alone, Zephyr didn't want to see Kai put himself in danger.
"Danger?" Kai's dead fish eyes flickered, and he scratched the back of his head, saying, "Thank you for your concern."
"However, I happen to be looking for a high-level Devil Fruit to help Caterpie transform into a dragon. It would be foolish not to take advantage of this free opportunity."
"As for the danger you mentioned, I believe Doflamingo is more dangerous than me."
Looking at Kai's nonchalant attitude, Zephyr wanted to speak but stopped, and was eventually intercepted by Garp.
"Old man Zephyr, Saitama kid is someone who dared to barge into the Moby Dick, let alone a Seven Warlord like Doflamingo," Garp said, patting Kai's shoulder with a smile.
"Originally, I was wondering where you would find a Logia or Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Now it seems Lady Luck is on your side."
"To even encounter such a rare Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. However, with this kind of fighting tournament, although I don't know what Doflamingo is plotting."
"There will definitely be no shortage of factions appearing. At the very least, Marine Headquarters will likely send people to maintain order to prevent the situation from escalating. You'll have to show some restraint then."
Kai had already considered Garp's advice.
In the original story, the appearance of the Mera Mera no Mi also attracted various factions.
Although this was an Animal-type, the title of Mythical Zoan was still highly coveted.
Kai guessed that Marine Headquarters, which had been weakened recently, would definitely not miss out on this Devil Fruit.
Among other factions, Kaido of the Beasts had always cherished Animal-type Devil Fruits.
Now, as bait, Doflamingo was offering a Mythical Zoan.
If Kai's guess was correct, this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
It was likely the most perfect artificial Mythical Zoan, the Dragon form, from Caesar's laboratory, created by Vegapunk.
In the original story, it had benefited Momonosuke.
Not only did it have no side effects, but it also possessed the ability to summon clouds and mist, like a dragon.
If fully developed, it could probably rival Kaido of the Beasts.
If Kaido knew about the connection between this Devil Fruit and himself.
Let alone his subordinates, even he himself might not be able to sit still and would personally come to snatch it.
Perhaps Doflamingo, precisely because of this concern, did not specify the form.
"Garp, are you planning to go to Dressrosa yourself?" Zephyr asked, glancing at Garp.
"If Sengoku finds out you're going to join the fun, he'll probably scold you severely."
"I led my students on a training expedition this time, and due to unforeseen circumstances, the training was cut short. I was wondering if there were other ways to compensate. Going to Dressrosa now might be a good option."
Looking at Zephyr, who had made up his mind so quickly.
Garp rolled his eyes and said, "Zephyr, you old rascal, just say you want to join the fun. When have I ever acted according to Sengoku's wishes?"
"I'm just a Vice Admiral, I can go wherever I want. Don't slow me down..."
"You're the one slowing me down! I'm going to provide training for my students, not to join the fun like you!"
As the two bickered back and forth, the vast deck suddenly became lively.
However, more people's gazes were subconsciously drawn to the golden cocoon in Kai's hand.
They were full of curiosity about Kai's tall tales of Caterpie transforming into a dragon.
Meanwhile, within Dressrosa.
Not far from the palace, in a towering structure.
Violet pushed open the tightly closed door and looked at the old man imprisoned there, falling into silence.
"Violet, why have you returned?" King Riku said slowly, raising his head.
"Father doesn't want to implicate you. The Donquixote family, controlled by Doflamingo, is too powerful. You can't possibly deal with them alone."
"Moreover, under his control, Dressrosa is like a prison. External forces cannot penetrate. With his special status as a Seven Warlord, Marine Headquarters and even the World Government will turn a blind eye."
With that, King Riku's face showed a hint of desolation, and he sighed in despair, "Ten years. You've done enough over the years."
"I thought you could leave on this mission. With your Devil Fruit ability, joining Marine Headquarters would surely bring you protection and recognition. I didn't expect you to still be unable to let go of this old man, like a shackle holding you here."
As a Paramecia-type user of the "Glimpse-Glimpse Fruit."
Possessing the ability to monitor a radius of five thousand miles and see through people's hearts.
Such a person would be a coveted asset to any power.
