THE STRONGEST CREATURE OF THE BEAST PIRATES

That guy, who is essentially a lunatic, created a massive ball of lightning over Marineford, clearly intending to target him as well.

But it didn't matter much—Doflamingo hadn't been affected much himself. What concerned him most was the accomplice of that lunatic hiding beneath the sea. Could it be Law? Why would the Thunder disaster of the Beasts Pirates align with Law?

Doflamingo smashed the bottle in his hand with a sharp crack, his irritability stemming from his growing doubts. But he couldn't be 100% certain, so he dared not confront Kaido directly.

"Hey, young master, why did you kill the entire family of the person who confessed to me? I still need him!"

At that moment, a beautiful woman in a maid outfit with a machete-shaped arm approached Doflamingo, glaring at him menacingly.

In the past, Doflamingo would have indulged Baby 5's ramblings. But today, his bad mood rendered him merciless. His cold eyes bored into Baby 5, and she froze, frightened by his stare. She turned away, hiding in the corner and sobbing.

"Why are you so fierce…"

"I just know how to cry. If my heart is so fragile, I might as well commit suicide." A mocking voice came from nearby.

Baby 5 turned to the source of the voice and responded weakly, "Do you want me to commit suicide? Then I'll go right away."

She raised her palm, transforming it into a pistol and aiming it at her head.

"Baby 5, are you an idiot? Diamante was just joking!" Fortunately, Buffalo intervened and stopped her.

"No, I'm not kidding."

Diamante, one of the top cadres of the Don Quixote family and manager of the arena, sneered cruelly.

"Okay," Doflamingo said, cutting through the tension. "Diamante, what are you looking for?"

Diamante stepped forward and replied, "The information about the troublesome princess, Rebecca, whom you asked me to track down. I've noticed she hasn't participated in competitive wrestling for some time."

Diamante sneered. "I guess she's scared. A little girl like her is a waste no matter how hard she tries."

Hearing this, Doflamingo frowned even deeper.

He wouldn't pay attention to someone as insignificant as Rebecca unless there was a reason. His primary concern was Viola, who had gone missing and couldn't be contacted.

Previously, Viola had asked to go to Punk Hazard to oversee the production of Smile fruits. With her Staring fruit ability, Doflamingo had trusted her to handle it.

Later, after the gas leak incident in Punk Hazard, all government officials were evacuated. Fearing for Caesar's safety, Doflamingo had sent Monet to keep an eye on Viola as well.

Doflamingo had never fully trusted Viola, and yesterday, when he called Monet's phone bug, no one answered. The disappearance of Viola and Caesar went ignored.

Doflamingo quickly realized something had gone wrong. His first thought was that Viola had betrayed him and kidnapped Caesar.

So, Doflamingo had Diamante search for Rebecca and planned to use her as leverage to force Viola to reveal herself.

Unexpectedly, even Rebecca had vanished. Everything seemed carefully planned.

It wasn't just Viola's betrayal—it felt like someone was pulling strings from the shadows.

Doflamingo was certain of this, as Viola had always been afraid of him and wouldn't have had the courage or cunning to scheme on her own.

The most likely culprit, in Doflamingo's mind, was Law, the supernova causing trouble in recent months.

Thinking of Law, he couldn't help but recall the lunatic. All the clues seemed to fit together, fueling his growing sense of unease.

Doflamingo's expression darkened, and a dangerous foreboding gripped his heart.

As for the identity of the Celestial Dragons, it's destined that neither the navy nor the World Government will dare to touch them.

In this way, Doflamingo could act with impunity—promoting wars between countries, capturing slaves for auctions, and becoming the dark middleman, the Joker!

How could Doflamingo not be arrogant? No wonder his walking posture is so haughty.

However, what if Kaido decided to attack him?

Then the situation would become extremely precarious!

The more Doflamingo pondered, the more he felt that the mysterious helper hidden beneath the sea must be Law.

Right now, Monet and Caesar were unreachable, while Viola and Rebecca had vanished without a trace.

The signs of danger were becoming increasingly apparent.

Doflamingo's brows furrowed deeply, nearly twisted into iron-like bumps.

"I didn't offend them. Kaido has no reason to attack me!"

Doflamingo couldn't fathom any logical reason for Kaido to target him. So, there could only be one possibility: everything was based solely on Alastor's own assumptions.

With the lunatic's recklessness, who dared to kill even Celestial Dragons, nothing would be out of the question.

Now that Doflamingo sensed the danger, he wasn't someone who would simply sit and wait for his downfall. He turned to Diamante and said:

"Go and gather all the family cadres and members near the palace."

"Why? Are you planning to fight, Dover?" Diamante asked, surprised.

Doflamingo's expression remained grim. "Prepare, just in case we don't need to."

After Diamante left, Doflamingo retrieved a secret phone bug and dialed it. His somber expression eased, and a faint smile appeared.

"Hey, Mr. Kaido?"

From beyond the phone bug came the sound of a drunken Kaido.

"Joker? Why are you bothering me while I'm trying to drink?!"

Doflamingo quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kaido."

Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

From Kaido's tone, Doflamingo could tell that Kaido's attitude toward him remained unchanged, which was crucial.

"Fart!" Kaido roared, clearly irritated.

Doflamingo hesitated on what to say. He couldn't openly state, "Mr. Kaido, the Thunder Disaster under your command is becoming problematic," as that would only invite danger.

Alastor no longer held the same position as a mere subordinate—he was Kaido's trusted confidant. Proposing such a theory without clear evidence would be suicidal.

Instead, Doflamingo chose a safer approach, praising Kaido effusively:

"Mr. Kaido, I called to express my admiration. Your plan this time was truly flawless. Not only did you seize Whitebeard's territory, but you also sent Thunder Disaster to disrupt the top battle. Even if the Navy wins, they suffer a loss of prestige and face."

Doflamingo flattered Kaido with praise.

However, Kaido did not respond as expected. Instead, his anger grew.

"I didn't let that idiot mess things up!"

Doflamingo pretended surprise. "Oh? How strange. Didn't he report to you?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Doflamingo's eyes.

Sure enough, that lunatic had acted on his own without informing Kaido. The possibility of collusion between Law and Viola grew stronger.

Kaido's roar echoed from the phone bug.

"Joker, stay out of it! Just keep making Smile Fruits for me!"

The call abruptly ended.

Doflamingo slowly placed the phone bug down, a cold smile forming on his face.

If Alastor dared to harm him, he would first have to contend with Kaido's wrath.
