Doflamingo, under the summons of the Government, rushed to Alabasta at the first possible moment.
Among the Seven Warlords, he alone drooled endlessly for Jotaro's head.
In secret, he raised the evil scientist Caesar Clown, mass-producing artificial Zoan fruits, the Smile.
A certain island used for obtaining raw materials was accidentally destroyed by Jotaro, which caused his business to be affected.
Because of this matter, his big client, the Four Emperor Kaido, complained no small amount in front of him, and even started tripping up his business.
From then on, Doflamingo bore a grudge against Jotaro, vowing to completely eradicate this man.
After arriving at Alabasta, this thought grew only firmer in his heart, unshakable.
This was a fertile land. To seize this country, he needed bargaining chips sufficient to negotiate with the Government, and Jotaro just happened to fit the bill.
Of course, before negotiating with the Government, he had already first taken possession of this country.
That's right, the fruit of victory Spandam had so painstakingly obtained was easily stolen away by the arriving Doflamingo.
It was all because Crocodile's strength was lacking, getting thrashed by Jotaro, unable to make it to the scene.
So the one who made a heroic entrance was not him, but Doflamingo!
With Doflamingo's means and strength, toying with these ignorant people of Alabasta was simply all too easy. With just a few words, he firmly seized the authority of Alabasta in his hands.
Bon-chan recounted the things that happened afterward, furiously indignant, "If it weren't for me blackening Princess Vivi's image, how could those people have believed them so easily!"
"One could say I performed great service in this matter."
"Who would have thought that this guy Doflamingo, once he crossed the river, would demolish the bridge, and even want to kill me to silence me."
Before Crocodile's arrival, the Nefertari royal family was deeply loved by the people.
After the Dancing Powder incident he had so carefully designed, though the royal family's credibility declined, there were still many commoners who continued to choose to believe in the royal family.
But now, with Princess Vivi's massacre of the rebel army's families in Yuba shocking the whole nation, the people's hearts toward the royal family fell into complete despair.
One could say the Nefertari royal family had already fallen to the point where everyone cried out to strike them.
Now it had even developed to the stage where, no matter who it was, as long as they helped overthrow the Nefertari family, the people would support them.
Jotaro gave a cold snort, how could he not see through Doflamingo's scheming?
"Kill you, and the truth of the matter will never surface!"
After things were done, neither Spandam nor Doflamingo would possibly let Bon-chan live.
"Fortunately, I was clever, changed into someone else's appearance, and escaped."
Bon-chan happily spun around in a circle.
Jotaro asked, "Do you know where Vivi and the others are being held?"
Bon-chan froze, unable to believe it, "Don't tell me you want to go save them?"
"Jotaro, you must not do anything foolish."
"The opponent is none other than the Warlord of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo!!"
For pirates like them, the title of Warlord was no different from a mountain pressing down overhead, its deterrent power was clear to imagine.
"I know. I don't have time anymore! Quickly tell me their location."
Jotaro didn't want to explain too much, speaking in a deep, stern voice.
As Bartholomew Kuma.
Compared to the navy, he undoubtedly understood the World Government's thinking more.
He knew better than anyone how dangerous Jotaro was to this world.
The World Government absolutely would not allow such a man to keep growing.
So he guessed that the Government would definitely pressure the navy, mobilizing top-level forces to encircle Jotaro in Alabasta.
The navy as an organization was not of one mind; there were many factions inside.
Just from the fact of Jotaro defeating Akainu, the navy basically would not take it so seriously as to dispatch the other two admirals.
Even if Fleet Admiral Sengoku personally ordered, Aokiji and Kizaru might not care. Even if they cared, it would only be surface-level obedience while secretly disobeying.
Kizaru saw himself as just a wage earner, never making things hard for himself, he absolutely wouldn't be so diligent.
And Aokiji's eyes were lifeless, utterly lost, believing in "lazy justice," even more laid-back than Kizaru.
With their way of doing things, even if they reached Alabasta, Jotaro would probably already have left.
But if it was the World Government pressuring them, then things would be entirely different.
Firstly, at this stage they still remained loyal to the World Government.
Secondly, if the Government explicitly demanded two admirals be dispatched, if the mission still couldn't be completed, the navy's status would plummet.
That was something neither of them wanted to see.
Bartholomew Kuma saw this all very clearly, that was why he had given Jotaro an early warning.
Jotaro had naturally already prepared for the worst.
"Uuuu… I'm so moved! Even knowing that's a dragon's den, a tiger's cave, you're still willing to charge in for your companions?"
"Jotaro, you really are such a wonderful guy!"
Bon-chan wiped his tears, then straightened his face seriously.
"Then let me lend you a hand!"
Facing Bon-chan, Jotaro's fist clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again.
In the end, he sighed, thinking, forget it.
This guy's character was a bit strange, strictly speaking, not purely a bad person.
"I don't need your help. Just tell me Vivi and the others' location. I'll go save them myself."
Jotaro had his own considerations. As long as he knew the exact location, he could simply stop time along the way, and rescue Vivi and the others without a trace, he didn't need anyone's help at all.
To be honest, he really didn't want to stir things up now. If a fight could be avoided, it should be avoided.
Bon-chan shook his head, "I don't know where they're being held."
"Then forget it!"
Jotaro immediately turned around, no longer delaying, preparing to head straight into the city.
"Uuuu… Jotaro is worried for my safety, that's why you don't want to take me along?"
Bon-chan's toes tapped the ground, tears bursting forth.
"Jotaro, wait, though I don't know where they're imprisoned, I can change into Doflamingo's appearance and help you investigate!"
"Don't forget, I'm a Mimic-Mimic Fruit user!"
Jotaro's steps halted. He turned his head to look at him.
It really did seem there was a use for this guy after all.
The two of them made their way together to an outer edge of the city.
The patrol teams had already been replaced from the kingdom's army to the rebel army.
Jotaro's wanted posters plastered the streets and alleys.
Doflamingo gave orders, upon discovering Jotaro, report immediately, he would personally execute the man.
It was precisely this move that won him the rebels' support.
After all, in the Yuba massacre, "Jotaro" had also been one of the masterminds.
And since he carried a bounty as high as one billion, how could these people possibly be his match?
With Doflamingo standing up for them, how could the rebels not support him.
"Let's go in!" Jotaro strode toward the main gate.
"This will alarm them!" Seeing Jotaro swagger right up to the enemy, Bon-chan grew anxious.
"Wait, I can change into their commander's form, "
"That's too slow!"
Star Platinum's figure floated behind Jotaro.
"Za Warudo!"
"Time, stop flowing!"
"Ora!"
Star Platinum punched Bon-chan straight into the city.
Jotaro followed close behind, entering a secluded alley.
"Time, resume flowing!"
