Chapter 598: The Ring
Doflamingo has been very busy, and has been very busy for over a month.
Being a king is not an easy job, of course being a tyrant is another matter.
Doflamingo can be considered a tyrant, but he is definitely not a foolish ruler. He manages Dressrosa well as his own territory.
Not only does he have to manage the country's various production, trade, negotiations and other matters in the open, but he also has to carefully handle the more important underground exchanges and secretly meet and trade with important figures from various forces.
Now Doflamingo is no longer just one of the Shichibukai who has thousands of soldiers from the Donquixote family. He has already connected with Kaido and is becoming an important channel for many countries and forces to secretly purchase weapons.
In his own words, the reins of these monsters in the new world are slowly being grasped by him!
Everything seemed to be going well, but if there was one thing that was not going well, it was that Hawkeye had been staying in the neighboring country of Prudence since leaving Dressrosa, and he had brought the princess of the former royal family with him.
This made Doflamingo a little wary, so he always arranged for people to keep an eye on Hawkeye's movements.
Hawkeye didn't notice it because the person in charge of this matter was Violet, the user of the Stare-Stare Fruit, who was also Shukalight's sister and King Riku's second daughter.
She can extend her vision up to 4,000 kilometers, making her a true clairvoyant.
At such a distance, even if an eagle's eyes were sharp enough to sense someone watching him, he would only think of them as passersby or birds.
It is because of this strategically valuable ability that Doflamingo agreed to let King Riku go in exchange for Violet working for him.
After finishing up most of the day's affairs, Doflamingo called Violet over. Holding a glass of red wine and crossing his legs, he asked, "How's that guy doing?"
"Just like before, he lives in the Kingdom of Prudence with Shukalet and Rebecca. However, today he met a group of special people."
Violet wasn't happy with her job, but this mission allowed her to confirm her sister's safety and that she was doing well at any time, which made her feel a little relieved.
Violet didn't dare to hide what she saw because Doflamingo also had people in the Kingdom of Prudence and could send people to verify it at any time. If she lied, her father's life would be in danger.
"Don't keep me in suspense. What special person?"
"It seems to be...Amber Tour Group."
"Who?" The wine glass in his hand was almost crushed. Doflamingo would never forget the humiliation he suffered in the Marine Headquarters.
He asked, "Are you sure it's them?"
Violet didn't know why Doflamingo reacted so strongly, so she honestly described everyone's characteristics to him.
The blue cat, the robot, the little girls, the cat-eared girl...it's them, there's no doubt about it.
Doflamingo knew it was only a matter of time before these guys came to the New World, but he didn't expect them to come so suddenly. They went straight to the Kingdom of Prudence without making any noise? This was not in line with their style.
Then the only explanation is that their target is here. Do they want to expose the Seven Warlords of the Sea, save Dressrosa, and become heroes here, just like they did in Alabasta?
"Fufufufu..." Doflamingo had to admit that these people were difficult to deal with, but this was his territory, and this was also an opportunity to make them disappear and avenge himself and his men.
He touched his right eye. That damn cat!
"Monet."
"Young Master." The woman with long green hair who had been standing quietly by the side walked up and bowed slightly. She was Doflamingo's secretary and Sugar's sister.
Violet looked at her unkindly. This woman had once been undercover in the palace, knowing everything there was to know. While her actions might not have had a significant impact on the final outcome, they ultimately facilitated Doflamingo's actions.
Doflamingo seemed not to notice Violet's look and said, "Find the Amber Tour Group's information, including the marked one."
"Yes, young master." Monet opened the bookcase where important documents were placed and skillfully took out two documents.
Doflamingo pulled out two sheets of paper and said, "Publicly announce these two things, especially making sure Big Mom knows about them."
"Please have someone pass this copy to Germa 66."
"This one..." Doflamingo retracted his hand. "Never mind. I'll handle it myself. Go ahead and send someone to see what Jack is doing."
"Yes." Monet left the room with the documents.
Doflamingo picked up the Den Den Mushi and said to Violet, "You can leave now."
Violet bowed slightly, then turned and left, speechless with astonishment. Who were the Amber Tour Group, and why had Doflamingo contacted so many people immediately after hearing about them?
The Big Mom Pirates, Germa 66, and Jack from the Beasts Pirates... Each of these forces alone is enough to intimidate others, right?
Suddenly contacting these people, is the Amber Tour Group coming for Doflamingo?
"Violet."
Violet stopped immediately and shuddered uncontrollably.
Doflamingo said, "Continue to monitor Hawkeye and the Amber Tour Group, and report any developments to me immediately. Also, you... won't do anything unnecessary, will you?"
"Yes, of course not." Violet was already in despair. Two of the Four Emperors' pirate groups, a legendary evil army, and the person Doflamingo was about to contact personally...
Forget about the Amber Tour and the Seven Warlords of the Sea Hawkeye. In this situation, no one can Dressrosa, right?
Violet now hoped that no one would come, and hoped that her sister and daughter would leave here with Hawkeye or the Amber Tour Group, so that they could at least save their lives.
Watching Violet leave in a daze, Doflamingo forced a smile and dialed the number used to contact the Five Elders.
It's not that he is a coward, but he knows that the Amber Travel Group is full of lunatics. They are a group of people who dare to attack the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the Marine Headquarters and under the nose of the former admiral.
God knows what they will do when they come to Dressrosa.
Instead of responding passively, it is better to gather all the help you can and destroy them in one go!
…
At night, the weather was slightly cooler and layers of thick clouds blocked the moon.
However, according to Wendy's weather forecast, there will be no heavy rain tonight, so there is no need to worry about the Amber anchored in the port.
Everyone booked a few rooms in the hotel where Hawkeye was staying temporarily. They were already fast asleep. Zhang Da was still in the same room with Tom. The man and the cat were sleeping soundly with the same snot bubbles hanging from their noses.
Blooper, blooper, blooper...
It was already late at night, but the Den Den Mushi rang at an inopportune time.
