"Five words."
As soon as the five words were spoken, it was as if some magic had instantly silenced the room. Even from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo and the other two could sense Kaido's breathing quicken.
"Worororo!!"
A moment later, Kaido's laughter broke the silence, and after a brief chuckle, he stopped and said, "So it's that brat! I was waiting for him in Wano Country, and I didn't expect this brat to provoke me now."
Yes, in his eyes, capturing Caesar and then going to Dressrosa was provoking him. Given Caesar's personality, he wouldn't have failed to tell the silver-haired one that he had the backing of a Yonko. Even so, he still captured Caesar and went to Dressrosa. If this wasn't provoking him, what was? After all, artificial Devil Fruits were the most crucial cornerstone for him to realize the ambition of his true Beast Pirates. If this were cut off, then his Beast Pirates would be somewhat undeserving of their name. After all, even as a Yonko, Devil Fruits were still very difficult to truly collect. Unlike Caesar, who could mass-produce them.
Thinking of Caesar, Kaido's tone became serious. "Since that brat is courting death, then send him to hell. I'll be there shortly." With that, he hung up the phone. If it were an ordinary pirate, he wouldn't have bothered, but the silver-haired one, who could fight evenly with the hero Garp, was enough for him to act personally. Moreover, the moment he heard this guy's name, he became deeply interested in the silver-haired one. Strictly speaking, Shiki the Golden Lion was his senior. He naturally knew Shiki's power. Although the Golden Lion was old, he wasn't someone anyone could kill. Being able to fight evenly with the true Haki master Garp only piqued his interest further.
Arriving early is as good as arriving at the right time. It just so happens that he could make a trip to Dressrosa and personally test if the silver-haired one was truly as powerful as the legends claimed. With this thought, he raised the sake gourd beside him, took a gulp, and then his massive body rose from the ground. With a clang, he picked up the giant spiked club beside him and walked out of the room.
He didn't go to Dressrosa immediately. Instead, he found "King" and had King take his subordinates to support Dressrosa, then he transformed into a giant dragon, churned the clouds and wind, and rapidly headed towards Dressrosa. He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart. For ordinary pirate crews, he'd go alone, and even for the Marines, he wouldn't hesitate. But the Silver Hair Pirates were different. That was a crew with two Admiral-level figures. Moreover, the wound on his chest that still occasionally ached served as a constant reminder that while he could mess around with others, he had to be careful when facing a great swordsman. That was someone who could truly injure him. Although he didn't know if the silver-haired and blue-haired great swordsmen could be as powerful as the Foolish Prince, Oden Kozuki, since they could be called great swordsmen, they shouldn't be too far behind even if they were weaker than Oden Kozuki. Therefore, it was only natural for him to send King to meet them. After all, the fight with the silver-haired one would definitely not be short, and it might even attract the Marines. No, not might, the Marines would definitely come. He didn't want to be drawn by Vegapunk for another blood experiment now. After all, he was a Yonko now and had to maintain some semblance of dignity.
Dressrosa.
Upon hearing Kaido's decisive answer, Doflamingo breathed a sigh of relief, and his body completely relaxed. The first step had succeeded, which meant this crisis would escalate into the earth-shattering battle he had envisioned. "Let it be chaotic, let it be chaotic, the more chaotic, the better." He then made a call to the Big Mom Pirates. It was not as he had expected. His plan was for the Big Mom Pirates to send their Yonko Commanders, but he did not expect that the monster Charlotte Linlin herself would come. "It can't be because of Caesar." Although Caesar was important, in Charlotte Linlin's heart, it was certainly not to the extent of specifically coming to Dressrosa to fight to the death with the Silver Hair Pirates for Caesar.
Hanging up the phone, Doflamingo stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. "It's for that silver-haired fellow." There had long been rumors that the silver-haired one was of a special race. Although he didn't know where the rumor originated, there were only a few top powers in this world. The ones who had conflicts with the Silver Hair Pirates were none other than the Marines and the World Government. And the only ones who could have spread this rumor across the seas in such a short time would be the World Government. As for why the World Government released this rumor, it was not difficult to guess; it was certainly to incite hatred towards the Silver Hair Pirates. Given Charlotte Linlin's obsession with special races, as long as there was concrete news about the Silver Hair Pirates, she would come on her own without anyone needing to provoke her.
Understanding the reason, Doflamingo completely relaxed. Two Yonko. No, plus the Marines, plus the World Government, that would be truly exciting. With this thought, he made another call to the World Government. If he called the Marines, due to their apprehension of the strength of the Silver Hair Pirates and the Yonko, although the Marines would send an Admiral, they might not necessarily take action. They would usually just watch the show, evacuate the crowds, and perhaps only intervene after the fight had reached a stalemate. But by calling the World Government, with an order from the World Government, the Marines would definitely act. With his understanding of the World Government, they would certainly not miss this opportunity to eliminate the Silver Hair Pirates. With this in mind, he felt even more at ease. "Silver Hair, let's see how you die this time!" "Since you dare to cause trouble for me, then die!" "Fufufufufu!" His laughter completely dispelled the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and Trebol and Sugar, who were watching everything, also completely relaxed, their faces showing smiles once again. They didn't believe anyone in this world could emerge unscathed from the hands of two Yonko, plus a possible intervention from an Admiral. Therefore, as long as Kaido agreed to come, the crisis of their family's potential demise would be completely resolved.
World Government.
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders considered Doflamingo's plan and eventually agreed. They did not know the outcome of the previous battle between Imu and the silver-haired one. Since the immense rift that spanned the Red Line Continent a month ago, they had not seen Imu since. If they hadn't known that the Celestial Dragons had returned to the Holy Land unharmed, they would have thought Imu had been defeated. And when Imu returned, he said nothing to them. Clearly, Imu had reached some kind of agreement with the silver-haired one. It was just that at Imu's level, there was no need to explain it to them. Now that Doflamingo had devised this plan, and it had been confirmed that Kaido had left Wano Country and was heading towards Dressrosa, they could dispatch the Marines. Kaido fighting against Charlotte Linlin, and Silver Hair, no matter who won or lost, it would be a victory for the World Government and the Marines. Therefore, after receiving Doflamingo's call, the Five Elders did not, as Doflamingo had anticipated, order the Marines to join forces with Kaido to kill the silver-haired one. This was because they knew it was impossible. No one knew the terror of the silver-haired one better than they did; he was someone even Imu couldn't kill! Therefore, the order they issued to the Marines was to watch. Yes, to watch. Of course, if it resulted in mutual destruction, they would eliminate both. But this was merely their fantasy. In their opinion, even if Kaido and Charlotte Linlin teamed up, as long as the silver-haired one could unleash the power that rendered even Imu helpless, he would not be defeated. And the losing party would, in all likelihood, be Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.
