"Where will the fate of this World ultimately lead? Will the Pirates completely dominate the World, or will the World Government maintain its rule? Let us look forward to the start of a new generation of war!"
"The World's undercurrents are surging, and the World's struggle for supremacy has begun again. How will you choose now?"
"World Government VS Pirate Alliance. Can the World Government, which has repeatedly lost battles, regain its glory in the upcoming fight? Let's wait and see!"
"Latest situation report: The major Executive Officers of the Limitless Pirates have returned to the New World, the island headquarters of the Flying Pirates is missing, the Beasts Pirates..."
"..."
Newspapers from the World Economic News Agency were transmitted throughout the World by news birds, causing the already restless World to completely spiral out of control.
Countless people were filled with panic and unease after seeing these newspapers, and many forces made the most important choices of their lives because of this.
"Gahahahahahaha, it's truly exciting, this World is too crazy, too anticipated!"
Morgans, who feared nothing less than World chaos, resolutely spread fear throughout the World.
Grand Line:
Above the Great Sea, a colossal golden ship floated. Even though it was night, the ship was brightly lit, illuminating the entire vessel.
On the golden ship, various palaces, pavilions, entertainment facilities, gambling facilities, and more were built. Golden flakes continuously fell from the air, making it clear at a glance that the ship's owner was immensely wealthy and regarded gold as dirt.
This is the Tesoro, the largest casino city that has been popular worldwide for the past decade, and also the flagship of the Golden Emperor Tesoro, who has the most gold reserves on the surface and controls twenty percent of the World's wealth.
Everyone in the World knows that Tesoro represents the Limitless Pirates' controller of foreign trade. Therefore, even though they knew there was a large amount of treasure on the Tesoro, not a single important figure dared to try and seize it.
As for the small fries, anyone who dared to have wicked thoughts was dealt with!
"Fufufufufu, Tesoro, your life is getting better and better!"
Inside this massive ship cabin, there was a large hot spring. Tesoro and Doflamingo, two grown men, were bathing together in the big hot spring. The key thing was that there were no beautiful women accompanying them.
"Doflamingo, I remember your goods were delivered seven days ago. There are still more than twenty days until the next transaction!"
"You coming here shouldn't be to restock, right!"
Tesoro asked, knowing the answer.
"Fufufufufu, who doesn't know that the Limitless Pirates are about to make a big move? I'm just here to seek your advice and understand the situation."
"If there's a place that will affect me, I'll relocate early!"
"You know, we've been partners for so many years. The Limitless Pirates can't just watch a business partner suffer an unwarranted disaster, right!"
Doflamingo said with a smile, but in reality, he was panicking internally.
Or rather, at this time, there weren't many people in the World who weren't panicking.
They were too insignificant in front of the Pirate Alliance and the World Government, so insignificant that even if the World Government and the Pirate Alliance didn't target them, they would be destroyed by the clash of the two behemoths. This is called being collateral damage.
Doflamingo couldn't reach the other core members of the Limitless Pirates. The person at the highest level of the Limitless Pirates he could easily contact was Tesoro.
"Doflamingo, it seems you're quite smart. I originally planned to tell you at the very end, but I didn't expect you to ask so quickly."
"Since you asked, I'll tell you. You'd better not participate in this great war, or you'll die terribly. As for the title of Shichibukai, just discard it if you should." Tesoro looked at Doflamingo with interest.
One must know that Doflamingo has profited immensely over the years by leveraging the title of Shichibukai and his cooperation with the Limitless Pirates, essentially having his way in both the underworld and the surface world. Now, asking him to give up the title of Shichibukai, it's hard to tell how he will choose.
If Doflamingo isn't sensible, then don't blame him!
"What? It's that serious?"
Doflamingo asked with a very grim expression. He didn't expect it to be this serious this time.
Even when the Shichibukai were mobilized to deal with the Pirate Alliance ten years ago, the Limitless Pirates didn't say anything and continued to cooperate and trade with him normally afterwards. He didn't expect the Limitless Pirates to ask him to give up the title of Shichibukai and not participate this time. This situation is much more serious than the war ten years ago!
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Doflamingo thought of a possibility that both terrified and excited him greatly.
"Doflamingo, this isn't just aimed at you, but at all the Shichibukai. Any Shichibukai who dares to approach the World Government will be eliminated by the Limitless Pirates before the war begins. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
Tesoro stared at Doflamingo and warned him.
"Fufufufufu, it's just a title. If I lose it, I lose it. As long as I hide back in my New World lair, the World Government won't be able to do anything to me!"
"But I want to ask, can I participate in this great war? I'm really looking forward to completely integrating into the Limitless Pirates!"
A crazy glint shone in Doflamingo's eyes. If he had really guessed correctly, then he might be able to witness with his own eyes his unattainable crazy ideal being realized!
"Hahahahahahaha, of course. The Limitless Pirates welcome all like-minded people to join. You've cooperated with our Limitless Pirates for so many years, so we know each other well. There's naturally no problem with you wanting to join the Limitless Pirates!"
Tesoro laughed.
He had thought Doflamingo would just stand by and watch, but he didn't expect him to choose to completely join the Limitless Pirates.
For the Limitless Pirates, this is naturally the best outcome.
In any case, Doflamingo's current strength can at least rank among the regular Executive Officers in the Limitless Pirates. One more person means one more source of strength.
Furthermore, since he recommended him, Doflamingo might even be under his management. Tesoro naturally wouldn't refuse having one more subordinate.
"Fufufufufu, when exactly will the action begin? Is there any definite news now?"
Doflamingo asked curiously.
"Hahahahaha, the plan is just starting now. As for when the action will begin, that's the most core secret. I don't have any news about that. Usually, the orders come directly from the Captain at that time!"
"But you can start preparing now. Suspend your business first and transfer your personnel back to the New World. If you lose the title of Shichibukai, the Marine and the World Government won't let you off so easily."
Tesoro laughed.
"Fufufufufu, I know the World Government's true face best. As long as the news doesn't spread from your side, the World Government naturally won't know that I'm leaving the Shichibukai."
"Even if the World Government summons me, I can stall for time. After I secretly transfer all my subordinates back to the New World, I'll reveal my hand to the World Government. At that time, I won't be afraid of the World Government's retaliation."
Doflamingo laughed.
He is now making a big gamble, betting that the Limitless Pirates can overthrow the World Government, and he will witness this historic moment with his own eyes!
