"What should we do?"
Doflamingo lowered his head, and because his back was to the window, his entire face, shifting between light and shadow, looked unusually grim.
What should we do?
What could he do?
"Sitting here thinking is useless."
Raising his head, Doflamingo stared at Diamante, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes, and laughed, "Fufufufufu!! Gather the subordinates. Since that guy came looking for us, he'll come sooner or later."
"If he wants a fight, we'll fight him. If he wants to devour us, they won't have it easy either."
Perhaps it was Doflamingo's laughter, and the aura of dominance he exuded, that gave him confidence.
Diamante also gradually relaxed.
He nodded at Doflamingo, "Alright, I'll go down and gather the subordinates now."
With that, he turned and hurried out of the room.
There was no time to delay. The entire island belonged to their Donquixote Family, and it was filled with their family members.
Although strength like Silver Hair's rendered numbers useless, the Silver Hair Pirates weren't just Silver Hair; there were others, weren't there!
Watching Diamante's retreating back.
Doflamingo's eyes showed extreme madness.
Bang—!
The sound of the door closing echoed.
The room was as it was before Diamante's arrival, but this time, it was far more stifling than before.
Looking at Doflamingo, even Sugar, who had been like a princess in the family since she joined, and was always protected by the highest-ranking executive Trebol, dared not speak easily, nor dared to eat grapes.
"Doffy."
Just then, Trebol spoke, his nose dripping, his gap-toothed mouth wide open, and said sternly, "Since Caesar might be in Silver Hair's hands, should we inform Kaido and Big Mom?"
As long as Kaido wanted to come, he could arrive here in a short time.
Once Kaido arrived, Silver Hair would have to face him, and he would only need to stall Blue Hair, waiting for reinforcements from the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido's Beasts Pirates.
And once the Four Emperors made a move, the Marines would also be deployed.
Given the World Government's apprehension towards Silver Hair, seeing the Seven Warlords plus two Four Emperor pirate crews, they might order the Marines to attack Silver Hair's crew as well.
No, it wasn't "might," it was "certain."
Thinking of this, the madness in Doflamingo's eyes seemed to condense into substance, becoming two dazzling red beams.
Without hesitation, he picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed.
The only way to achieve this was for Kaido to come to Dressrosa, and he had to stall Silver Hair's crew before Kaido arrived.
After all, the latter half of the New World was still some distance from Dressrosa.
Even flying, it would take some time, wouldn't it?
Fortunately, after the Silver Hair Pirates landed, they were wandering around the island instead of heading directly to the royal palace.
From the moment Diamante entered and informed him that the Silver Hair Pirates had arrived at Dressrosa, he had used Observation Haki to scan the port and discovered them.
This was why he didn't flee.
Although he didn't find any trace of Caesar on Silver Hair's ship, when he was probing Silver Hair, he felt a faint sense of crisis constantly lingering in his heart.
He knew that while he was probing Silver Hair's crew, Silver Hair was also probing him.
As soon as he made a move to escape, that guy might instantly appear in his room. What would be the point of stalling then?
"If you don't want me to have an easy time, then you can all go to hell!"
The earth-shattering battle between the Four Emperors, Seven Warlords, Marines, and the Silver Hair Pirates – just the thought of it made him tremble.
Not from fear, but from excitement.
"Hello! Who is it?"
A moment later, the call was answered.
Although it was just a voice, the unparalleled oppressive aura made those in the room feel as if they could see, through the Den Den Mushi, the monstrous figure sitting on a throne, so enormous it filled their entire vision.
"Kaido, it's Doflamingo."
"Oh, Doffy!"
The voice from the Den Den Mushi then became relaxed, "Is there something you need?"
"Have the first batch of artificial Devil Fruits been completed?"
"Worororo!!"
He could tell from the voice that Kaido was in a good mood at the moment.
"No."
Staring at the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo said directly, "We've run into some trouble, and I need your help."
After Doflamingo finished speaking, the laughter on the other end of the Den Den Mushi abruptly stopped.
At this moment, even Doflamingo felt a pang of anxiety.
After waiting for a moment, Kaido finally spoke, "What is it?"
"Caesar has been captured by a pirate crew, and that crew is currently in Dressrosa. I need your help."
"Pirates?"
For a moment, he didn't react. After a while, Kaido asked again, "What pirates have you completely helpless, forcing you to seek my help?"
Doflamingo was nothing in his eyes, but he was still a great pirate. While he couldn't be compared to them, he was still among the peak pirates, excluding their level.
What kind of pirates were they that made Doflamingo come begging him?
"Silver Hair Pirates."
Doflamingo didn't play coy. Time was pressing, so he stated it directly.
