Chapter 96 Doflamingo is in action
'Tea party?'Brett lifted his brows a little.
Charlotte Linlin regularly hosted tea parties and invited a lot of guests. The tea party is not the main issue. The real concern is that anyone who turns down her invitation gets a unique surprise, which is usually the severed head of a relative or close friend.
People commonly said it was an invitation that no one could say no to.
"Charlotte family's tea party? " Tesoro scoffed, "I've also heard that if you decline Big Mom's tea party invite, you'll face terrible consequences. "
"The invite will reach you on time, but I honestly hope you decide to turn it down. " Cracker grinned maliciously, then stared at Brett before he walked away, "If you want to talk about working together, come on that day. All friends are welcome at Mom's tea party. "
Without showing any remorse, Cracker walked away just like that. Brett let out a long sigh of relief.
This suggests that anyone who isn't a friend from the past will face misfortune. Although he isn't openly against the Charlotte family, getting this invitation is still a headache.
"So, Brett, what are your thoughts? " Tesoro inquired, "Fishman Island is Whitebeard's territory. If you attend Charlotte Linlin's tea party, then Whitebeard's side—"
"Who knows? "Brett replied casually.
While he believes Whitebeard isn't that unreasonable, accurately guessing such things is tough.
"But if she is turned down, Charlotte Linlin won't just let it go." Tesoro said with frustration, "This situation is really unfortunate. "
Brett glanced back at Stussy, who was grinning widely, "So it seems some people owe me an explanation. "
Stussy's smile grew even bigger, as though she might burst with happiness.
"Moreover. "
Brett suddenly appeared and blocked the window, halting Morgans, who had silently tried to sneak away. "President Morgans, you owe me at least a few words. "
Even though it did not lead to serious fallout, it doesn't mean this guy's recent actions can just be overlooked.
"Ha ha…"Morgans chuckled awkwardly. 'That Cracker guy was way too quick!'
"I'm sorry, Director Brett! "
Morgans quickly apologized, then confidently added, "Actually, it's because I fully trust you. Consider this, which would create more buzz in the world, taking down Umit or beating Cracker? "
"You're about to become famous everywhere! "
"Is that all you have to say?" Tesoro also approached, surrounding Morgans with Brett.
Morgans gulped, "Alright, alright, I understand! I will make it up to you guys! "
Tesoro glanced at Brett, who nodded.
"Then let's discuss compensation. "Tesoro smirked. This is his field of expertise.
"Just use information as compensation. "
Morgans, still a bit shaken, smiled a little. Brett could tell that he was already thinking about something different. He said, "What do you know about Donquixote Doflamingo? Are you two interested? "
He turned to Tesoro and said, "Mr. Tesoro took the devil fruit that Doflamingo sold at auction, and then faced strong backlash from him."
"Regarding Director Brett," Morgans glanced at Brett again and laughed, "I am also aware of the fight that happened on Sabaody Archipelago."
'He's well-informed.' Brett was quite taken aback.
The latest conflict should have been hidden by the world government, but Morgans actually knew about it.
"Doflamingo? "
Mentioning that individual's name made Tesoro feel quite uncomfortable. Even though he was indeed the one who initiated the trouble, in recent years, he struggled to match his adversary in strength or team capability and endured prolonged pursuits and defeats.
"But, Brett, did you also have a disagreement with Doflamingo?" Tesoro stared at Brett, he had never heard him mention this before.
"It's nothing serious," Brett replied calmly.
Tesoro rolled his eyes, realizing how good Brett was at pretending.
"So, Morgans, does he have any recent updates? " Tesoro asked with great interest.
"That man is secretly building his strength in Dressrosa. The main force of the DonQuixote family is likely starting to concentrate in that nation," Morgans chuckled, "I suspect he intends to launch an attack on it. Let's see what happens. "
Brett glanced at Stussy.
"Is that really the case? "
Stussy reacted with some surprise, "If this becomes known, even the world government wouldn't dare to hide it.The other kings would never agree to that. "
Her tone was calm, but in truth, Brett could detect the shock and disbelief beneath her pose.
It appears the world government didn't anticipate Doflamingo would be so daring.
"Dressrosa? " Tesoro raised his eyebrows, "Is there something valuable in that country? "
"Well, honestly, there's nothing special about that nation. " Morgans looked at Stussy with an odd expression, then smiled gently and added, "But it might hold some special significance for Doflamingo. "
"Special significance? " Tesoro wondered what she meant.
"Director Brett, do you recall the name of the Celestial Dragon who once visited Fish-Man Island? " Morgans didn't respond directly but instead turned to Brett.
"Donquixote Mjosgard," Brett answered without hesitation.
"Donquixote? "Tesoro was momentarily stunned.
"Eight centuries ago, twenty kings established the World Government. All but the Nefertari family from Alabasta relocated to Mary Geoise.They were the original elite of the world, the forebears of the Celestial Dragons. "
Morgans chuckled, "And Dressrosa is one of the nineteen countries that lost its ruler, whose royal family's surname eight hundred years ago was—"
"DonQuixote! " Tesoro clenched his teeth, "That man Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon! "
"To be precise, he is a former Celestial Dragon. "
Morgans stated, "A long time back, there was a report from North blue. It was found that a family of four Celestial Dragons chose to leave their noble status and lived quietly here. This family faced mistreatment from those who disliked the Celestial Dragons when their true identity was revealed. Eventually, the mother passed away, and the father along with his two sons went missing. "
"Can something like this really happen? So, Doflamingo, who no longer identifies as a Celestial Dragon, aims to reclaim the land that his ancestors once governed, right? " Tesoro smiled broadly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
'I may not be able to get back at all the Celestial Dragons just yet, but it wouldn't hurt to find someone unfortunate to express my frustration on, right?'
Stussy had a serious look in her eyes. If Doflamingo was genuinely planning this, she needed to alert his higher-ups right away.
"Hahahaha, what do you think? Is this information sufficient to make up for my wrongdoing? " Morgans laughed heartily.
Brett smiled and said, "Don't worry, aren't we set to have a celebration? We can enjoy a good conversation. "
Morgans appeared frustrated.
