Who knows what his mood will be when he returns to the Marine and finds that what awaits him is not freedom, but the iron-fisted guidance of Zephyr and his adoptive father's meddling in his romantic life.
Upon receiving the order, Hera gathered her Crew members and announced that the vacation was over.
After bidding farewell to Tesoro, Theseus summoned the Argo and left Gold City.
Hera looked at a somewhat dejected Perona, thinking she was sad about the end of the vacation, and comforted her, "Don't worry, once these busy years are over, we'll come back to play again."
Perona shook her head and said, somewhat sullenly, "It's not that. Originally, it was my turn tonight, but now we're leaving."
Hearing this, Hera felt a bead of cold sweat on her forehead, quickly chuckled, and changed the subject.
Perona sighed, seeing that Hera didn't fall for it. It seemed she would have to find another time.
Nami walked over and asked, "Where are we going? Directly to Dressrosa?"
The plot involving Donquixote Doflamingo flashed through Hera's mind. Soon, she thought of another person and made a decision.
"No, we'll go to Marine G5 Branch first and find that rat hidden in the Marine."
Vergo, who was undercover at the G5 Branch, waiting for an opportunity to climb higher, suddenly sneezed. He didn't think much of it and continued his training.
A little earlier, Donquixote Doflamingo had sensed something was wrong. Recent events in the family were very strange, and his suspicion of an undercover agent made him restless.
Feeling that danger was imminent, he called in his younger brother, Rosinante, and said directly, "I've been feeling very uneasy lately. I suspect there's an internal spy in the family."
Rosinante instantly felt a chill down his spine, but years of undercover training prevented him from panicking. Instead, he said in shock, "How could that be? How could there be an undercover agent in the family?"
Donquixote Doflamingo said, "It's just a feeling. The Marine won't give up on investigating us. How about this, you and Monet, investigate the family members."
"See if you can find the Marine's mole planted in the family."
Rosinante, realizing that Donquixote Doflamingo hadn't detected that he and Monet were the spies, breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.
Donquixote Doflamingo watched the two walk together, a cold glint appearing beneath his sunglasses-covered eyes: "I hope it's not the two of you."
Even Donquixote Doflamingo, who had been involved in underworld forces for many years, didn't want to believe that the undercover agent hidden within the family was his own brother and the Monet who trusted him the most.
But Monet had felt somewhat strange after returning from Punk Hazard. Although she still greatly admired him, Donquixote Doflamingo still sensed something was off.
Entrusting the investigation of the internal spy to the two of them was also a test for them.
After the two left, Donquixote Doflamingo let out a harsh laugh alone: "Fuffuffuffu, I hope my guess is wrong. I wouldn't want to lose you."
Monet's expression immediately turned serious when she heard Rosinante say that she and he should investigate whether there were any traitors in the family.
Knowing Donquixote Doflamingo better, she was not as optimistic as Rosinante. She already knew that she and Rosinante were suspected by Donquixote Doflamingo.
During her undercover work, although she had helped Rosinante cover up some things, Rosinante still didn't know that she was actually Hera's undercover agent.
Rosinante was still thinking about how to fool Monet beside him, how to persuade her to cooperate with him, and not to find the undercover agent who had been silently helping him before, when he heard Monet's words.
"I know you're a Marine undercover agent. Do you have any news? Will the Marine come here soon?"
Rosinante was directly shocked by Monet's words. He didn't expect his biggest secret to be revealed by Monet like that.
"Don't panic. Do you remember someone helping you cover up some problems? That person was me."
Rosinante was even more shocked. The ability of the Calm-Calm devil fruit quietly activated, preventing him from shouting in the street. After calming down a bit, he withdrew his devil fruit ability.
"How is that possible? Aren't you the person in the family who admires Donquixote Doflamingo the most? How could you betray him?"
"It's a long story, but now I admire Hera the most. She is the deity in my heart. Don't insult my faith with Donquixote Doflamingo."
Rosinante shivered as he looked at the fanaticism in Monet's eyes. This kind of mental distortion made him fear the approaching Nightmare Admiral.
Even Marine Vice Admiral Grandma Tsuru could only wash away the evil in people's hearts. He never thought there would be such a terrifying ability in this world.
However, he still suppressed his emotions and answered Monet's initial question: "I've already contacted them. The Marine's new Admiral Nightmare will be coming here."
Monet's eyes lit up when she heard that Hera would be coming: "Could it be that Lord Hera sensed my crisis and came to rescue me?"
After learning that Monet was also an undercover agent, Rosinante suddenly understood something, and his expression also became serious.
He had originally thought that Donquixote Doflamingo sought him and Monet because they were his most trusted people, but now it seemed that he had grown suspicious of them.
Rosinante said solemnly, "Nightmare should be arriving soon. We must be cautious these next few days. Everything will depend on Nightmare's arrival."
Monet nodded. Since Rosinante had already contacted the Marine, she wouldn't need to contact Lord Hera for now. At a time like this, not a single flaw could be revealed.
Then, the two began to discuss who else would be more suitable to suspect.
With the speed of the Argo, Hera and her group quickly arrived at the G5 Branch. With Hera's performance in the Marineford War, the Argo was now practically a household name.
The Marines of the G5 Branch quickly poured out of the base. They all wanted to see the demeanor of the Marine's youngest Admiral.
Among them was Rear Admiral Hina, who had been transferred here after the Marineford War.
Only Vergo sensed something was amiss. Why would a Marine Admiral suddenly come to this inconspicuous place? He suddenly remembered the mission Donquixote Doflamingo had given him.
One point was to find the undercover agent sent by the Marine. Then, recalling that Donquixote Doflamingo had just connected with Kaido and was immediately targeted by the Marine, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his back.
"This is bad. These Marines are coming for Donquixote Doflamingo. I need to send the situation back quickly."
Thinking this, Vergo disregarded the risk of exposure and quickly picked up the transponder snail to contact Donquixote Doflamingo.
But it was too late; Hera's Observation Haki had already detected Vergo's little movements.
