Chapter 617: Doffy's revenge!
As the high-ranking officials of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons incited the situation, some individuals, knowing that surrendering would lead to no good end, exploded with terrifying power. After all, a cornered beast is most dangerous, especially when these individuals are immensely powerful.
Many of them even abandoned their current opponents and attacked ordinary marines and revolutionaries. To them, since death was inevitable, why not greet it with a bloody feast before it comes?
The war that many thought was over suddenly reignited with even greater ferocity.
...
Red Port, after some time, had been completely taken over by the Navy and the Revolutionary Army.
At the front of the Bubble Cable Car port, Jinbe looked anxiously towards the top of the Red Line, where the battle determining the future of Fishman Island and the world was raging.
Suddenly, Jinbe turned sharply to the sea, where a figure was rapidly approaching Red Port by swinging on threads.
"Is that Doflamingo?"
Jinbe looked at the rapidly approaching figure on the sea with a serious expression.
Among the Seven Warlords, Doflamingo did not leave a good impression on Jinbe.
Of course, for Jinbe, Doflamingo was troublesome but not undefeatable, especially since Jinbe had the natural advantage of being near the sea at Red Port.
"Doflamingo, what are you here for!? You're not welcome here!"
Standing at the port, Jinbe said sternly as he watched Doflamingo land.
Even though Doflamingo was just a Warlord, and many in this war could easily defeat him, Jinbe would not allow him into the battlefield, as figures of this level could significantly impact the ongoing battle.
"Fufufufu, don't be so tense, Jinbe. I'm not here with hostile intent."
Doflamingo swung to the top of a lighthouse at the port and squatted, smiling at Jinbe.
"What do you mean?"
Jinbe did not lower his guard because of Doflamingo's words.
"Simple, because we're allies."
Doflamingo said something that shocked Jinbe.
To ensure his words' credibility, Doflamingo pulled out a Transponder Snail given to him by Nicholas.
Upon seeing the snail, Jinbe furrowed his brow. Clearly, with Nicholas's power, Doflamingo couldn't have taken it unless Nicholas had given it to him.
As for faking the snail, that was impossible.
"Oh, right, as an 'ally,' I'll give you some free information: the mad scientist Caesar Clown, under the World Government, will fire his war weapon Death Nation at Red Port in ten minutes. It's a terrifying poisonous gas weapon that can easily destroy an entire island.
Here are his coordinates. If you want to stop him, you'd better hurry."
After speaking, Doflamingo tossed a piece of paper to Jinbe, then used his strings to fly toward the top of the Red Line.
Jinbe didn't stop Doflamingo. Instead, he caught the paper, his expression turning grim.
...
"What... What are you going to do!"
At this moment, in a hidden place in Mariejois, many guards of the Holy Land were slaughtered and scattered.
Inside the secret base, a man with a glass helmet was sitting on the ground, body pressed against the wall, snot and tears flowing as he looked in terror at Doflamingo standing in front of him.
"I'm a Celestial Dragon! If you kill me, you'll die too! Be rational!"
Seeing Doflamingo unmoved, the Celestial Dragon grew more terrified.
"Doffy, have you forgotten that your father Homing and I were close friends? I invited him every time I held a party!
And when you returned to Mariejois to regain your status as a Celestial Dragon, I spoke well of you, but those old geezers didn't agree. You should kill them instead of me, Doffy.
I promise that after this, I'll find a way to help you regain your status as a Celestial Dragon."
Listening to his nonsensical rambling, Doflamingo's face remained expressionless.
Some vengeance, he would take personally, some people, he would kill personally.
But as for the Celestial Dragon status... did it still matter?
...
Slash!
"You filthy scum, what are you trying to do?!"
Inside a refuge in Mariejois, numerous lines glistened sharply under the lights, drops of blood dripping from them. Below these threads, many bodies lay, most wearing glass helmets and special clothing.
Above them, a figure draped in a pink feathered cloak, wearing sunglasses, was grinning ferociously at the few survivors.
The voice came from a blood-soaked Celestial Dragon.
"Fufufu... Filthy?"
Doflamingo sneered, his fingers moving slightly as a young boy beside the Celestial Dragon was forced to reach for a gun on the ground.
"Filthy? Perhaps. After all, without the Celestial Dragon status, there's no difference between you and a beggar."
Bang!
A gunshot rang out as the Celestial Dragon clutched his stomach in disbelief and turned to see the five or six-year-old boy holding the smoking gun, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"No, don't!"
The Celestial Dragon cried out in fear as the boy turned the gun to his own head and pulled the trigger, collapsing.
Looking at his son's body, the Celestial Dragon slumped to the ground, the pain in his heart overshadowing the pain of his wound.
Doflamingo sneered as he watched, laughing wildly.
"Fufufufu! Now you know my pain, don't you? You people, who always look down on others, in this war engulfing the world, your status as Celestial Dragons is useless now.
Someone will drag you down from your high perch…"
He raised his head, clasped his hands, and laughed wildly, "Fufufufu! How wonderful!
Seeing your despair, it's wonderful!"
He remembered clearly the feeling of being hunted, beaten, and hung on the wall as a child, and the feeling of being rejected by those people when he returned to Mariejois after killing his father.
Now, he finally had his chance!
The scene he had dreamed of, the scene he thought of all the time, was becoming a reality right here!
"Fufufu! I won't kill you. I'll let you see with your own eyes how, once you're brought down, you'll be treated by the world without your Celestial Dragon status!
The world has changed! You are no longer the world nobles perched in the Holy Land Mariejois. You will fall to the bottom of the sea, and those you once looked down upon will become your nightmares! Fufufu, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you handle it!"
It seemed as if the entire Mariejois echoed with Doflamingo's laughter.
