Chapter 76 Little Sister Im: Hey, can we make peace?
Chapter 76 Little Sister Im: Hey, can we make peace?
At this moment, there are still more than ten years before Doflamingo's plan to seize Dressrosa takes place in the original timeline.
At present, Doflamingo and his men have come to this unremarkable kingdom by chance, just to take a look at this territory that once belonged to his ancestors and which he plans to reclaim in the future.
The sunlight shone brightly on Doflamingo's iconic pink feathered coat, making it appear particularly dazzling.
After all, no matter how poor Dressrosa is, it is still one of the world's member states.
If he were to make a move here now, it would surely attract the intervention of a naval admiral.
It was only because he held the title of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that Doflamingo dared to act so recklessly, and his plans were quite meticulous.
Having the "immunity" of being a Shichibukai wasn't enough for him; he also plotted to frame King Riku III, causing the people's trust in the old king to plummet, which allowed him to perfectly seize control of the country.
However, Doflamingo at the moment doesn't dress as flamboyantly as he would when he becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Although he was already wearing that iconic pink feather coat, underneath he was wearing a well-tailored red suit, which at first glance gave him a strangely sophisticated yet roguish air.
"What a boring country."
After wandering around the streets of Dressrosa, Doflamingo stopped, his golden, vertical pupils, like those of a viper, revealing a deep disdain behind his sunglasses.
The only thing that piqued his interest even slightly was the bullfighting arena.
However, despite being called an arena, the fact that the ten warriors fighting inside were merely engaging in point-to-point combat with wooden swords made Doflamingo find it incredibly boring.
What's fun about a battle without bloodshed? No screams, no blood—this kind of childish play doesn't even qualify as a performance!
When he rules this country in the future, he will definitely transform it from beginning to end, turning it into the ultimate "paradise".
Doflamingo had just emerged from the Corrida Colosseum when Trebol, one of his high-ranking subordinates, approached him with a Den Den Mushi, his sticky face filled with panic: "Doflamingo—Doflamingo! Diamante's phone!"
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow and casually picked up the receiver from the back of the Den Den Mushi.
Before he could even speak, the Den Den Mushi emitted Diamanti's exaggerated and terrified voice: "Dover! Something terrible has happened! Broly has come to Dressrosa!"
Instantly, Doflamingo's pupils behind his sunglasses contracted violently.
"Young...Young Master?!"
Before Doflamingo could react further, Señor Piqué, the executive in a suit standing beside him, suddenly changed his expression and pointed to the right front, stammering out a message.
Doflamingo and his group looked in the direction Señor was pointing, and they were all stunned and sweating profusely.
At the end of the street, Broly was leisurely walking towards them with a group of female pirates. Broly was wearing a fur skirt that was quite similar to Sun Wukong's in Journey to the West, except that unlike Sun Wukong's tiger skin, his was made of sheepskin.
That's right, it was made from the hide of the goat Sihan, the chieftain of the fur tribe.
"How boring."
At this moment, Broly, who was walking at the front, also uttered the exact same sentiment as Doflamingo earlier.
Dressrosa, currently under the rule of King Riku III, is one of the few countries in the world with a simple and honest folk culture.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for ordinary people, but for a "fun person" like Broly, it seems too boring.
Hancock moved closer to Broly and said softly, "In that case, let's go in a bit, Broly."
Yamato chimed in, "I heard there's an arena up ahead where soldiers from this country spar, and there's even a powerful fighter who's achieved an undefeated streak of 1000 matches!"
Little Purple, clinging to Broly's arm, sneered, "Tch, that can't possibly compare to Dad."
At this moment, Torituma, who was following Broly to his right rear, also noticed the Donquixote Pirates standing at the entrance of the arena, their foreheads covered in sweat.
Torituma immediately introduced Broly: "That's the Donquixote Pirates, captain Donquixote Doflamingo. One of the Supernova Pirates of this generation, their combined bounties exceed 10 billion Berries."
Upon hearing Toritoma's words, Hancock, knowing Broly was bored, immediately flashed a murderous glint in her eyes and suggested, "Broly, how about we kill them to relieve our boredom?"
They traveled all the way from the new Amazon Lily to Dressrosa, encountering many ignorant pirate crews along the way.
Some were easily killed by Broly, while others were used as practice targets for Hancock and Yamato. In any case, they were all killed without exception.
Upon hearing this, the entire Donquixote Pirates, led by Doflamingo, paled and were terrified.
Broly's strength and methods have already been known to the world during the previous live stream.
They had no doubt that Broly dared not or could not kill.
"Dover! Should we run away?"
Torrepol, who usually had a runny nose, was now trembling with fear, his sticky body almost melting.
Meanwhile, another high-ranking officer, Pika, retorted in his signature shrill voice, "Idiot! What's the point of running away? Unless we can escape to another planet."
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Torrebol asked through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Pica was speechless. To be honest, being targeted by Broly meant certain death; this was the consensus of everyone on this planet.
Just when everyone in the Donquixote Pirates thought they were doomed, to their surprise, and even to the Kuja Pirates on the other side, Doflamingo suddenly raised his lips and revealed his signature wicked smile.
The next second, he took a deep breath and walked towards Broly.
Amidst the astonished gazes of those around him, Doflamingo, with his long legs and a height exceeding 3 meters, walked up to Broly, placed his right hand on his heart, and solemnly performed a standard aristocratic bow to Broly, who was less than half his height.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Broly."
Doflamingo adopted the most humble attitude and greeted the other party respectfully, saying, "I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity until now."
After saying that, without waiting for Broly's response, Doflamingo turned to Trebol, beckoned with his finger, and said, "Hey, bring that over here."
Trebol, standing behind, was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening. He quickly reached into his coat and pulled out an exquisite treasure box, which he handed to Doflamingo with trembling hands.
Doflamingo accepted the treasure box and knelt on one knee. He bowed his head with all his might so as not to be higher than Broly's, and said, "A small gift, nothing more."
Broly raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
With a loud "bang!", the treasure box in Doflamingo's palm exploded open automatically.
Doflamingo, who was still kneeling on one knee, was startled and thought: What did he do?!
However, considering Broly's terrifying strength during the Udon battle, Doflamingo didn't find this surprising at all.
Next, what caught everyone's eye was a pair of Devil Fruits that looked remarkably similar to cherries. These two Devil Fruits were a pair, consisting of a red one and a purple one, forming a heart shape and radiating an alluring glow.
Doflamingo quickly explained, "This is the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit, which has the ability to petrify anyone who harbors evil intentions."
Upon hearing this, Broly instinctively looked at Hancock beside him.
How did the Devil Fruit, which was supposed to be forcibly given to Hancock by the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, end up in Doflamingo's hands?
However, Broly then realized that after all the things he had done, the course of this world had long since deviated significantly from the original story.
It's not surprising that the Love-Love Fruit ended up in Doflamingo's hands; it's even possible that he sold this Devil Fruit to the World Government.
Noticing Broly looking at her, Hancock blinked, a thought flashing through her mind, and said, "Broly, do you want me to eat this Devil Fruit?"
Toritoma nodded in agreement: "The Sweet-Sweet Fruit? It's certainly suitable for Hancock."
She had also heard of this Devil Fruit.
Even more than a decade ago, when Shakky was the captain of the Kuja Pirates, many people discussed that if Shakky ate the Love-Love Fruit, wouldn't she be invincible?
While Hancock may be slightly less attractive than Shakky, she is undoubtedly a beauty and will likely be able to maximize the power of the Love-Love Fruit.
"No, forget it."
However, Broly shook his head and rejected the offer.
On one hand, he felt that Hancock could eat a more powerful Devil Fruit, and on the other hand, there was another person present who was very suitable for the power of this Devil Fruit.
"Little Purple, you eat."
Hearing Broly's words, Little Purple's eyes lit up, sparkling like stars: "Really, Daddy!"
Broly nodded.
Immediately, Xiao Zi happily took the sweet fruit, opened her mouth, and took a big bite.
But the next second, her face turned into a huge "囧" (embarrassed/frustrated) expression, her features contorted, and she said with teary eyes, "It tastes awful!"
Looking at Komurasaki's furrowed brows, Doflamingo couldn't help but recall the image of Kozuki Oden's wife that he had seen on a live stream before, and immediately guessed Komurasaki's true identity.
Doflamingo felt a mixture of fear and excitement. He thought to himself, "Fluffy... He actually raised Kozuki Oden's daughter by his side. He'll use her to deal with him later. How terrifying!"
Doflamingo is also a psychopath who enjoys torturing people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come up with such a wicked idea when he ruled Dressrosa: turning all the losers in the arena into puppets and forcing them to do hard labor.
But at this moment, he felt that compared to Broly, he was practically a little girl.
Look at how others do it.
They directly turned the Five Elders and the Knights of God into "old men," and even raped Kozuki Oden.
And that's not all; they even specially trained his daughter to use against him later.
That was an amazing move!
Doflamingo's skin, beneath his red suit, was covered in goosebumps.
Why didn't I think of such an interesting trick?
However, Doflamingo was actually overthinking it.
Broly had no interest in following the same path as Yue Yao; he simply wanted to keep Komurasaki by his side as a collector's item. After all, he already had two of Oda's three chosen beauties, so there was no reason for him to let the last one slip through his fingers, right?
"Let's go."
After Komurasaki gained the power of the Love-Love Fruit, Broly lost interest in staying there any longer.
He wasn't very interested in the bullfighting arena either.
In this respect, his thoughts are the same as Doflamingo's.
If you're going to put on a show, then give me a bloodbath! A half-hearted performance is so boring!
With that, Broly prepared to turn and leave with the Kuja Pirates.
However, Doflamingo spoke again: "Please wait a moment, Lord Broly!"
Upon hearing their master's words, Torrebol and the others behind him were terrified.
No, boss, this monster was already planning to leave, why are you still calling him?
It's already a miracle that they were able to neutralize this monster's murderous intent with just one Devil Fruit! They really don't want to have anything to do with Broly!
Broly paused, turned to look at Doflamingo, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
The other person, still kneeling with their head bowed, respectfully said, "Would you do me the honor of having a drink?" Doflamingo then pointed to a high-class tavern nearby.
Broly thought about it and agreed.
After all, this "Newspaper King" is quite an interesting guy.
Although in later versions, Doflamingo has gone from being "Brother Doflamingo" to "Brother Doflamingo," completely becoming a clown.
But Broly felt that this guy had done everything he could. After all, his strength was limited, and his teammates were all terrible. It was already good that he could reach the level in the original work.
Just then, Cyrus's patrol also discovered this scene.
Upon seeing Broly, who had recently insulted Kozuki Oden and the World Government, appear in their own country.
The warrior, who had achieved an undefeated record of 1000 matches in the bullfighting arena, changed his expression drastically. Without saying a word, he rushed to the royal palace in the King's Highlands to report the matter to the current King Riku III.
As for Doflamingo? Cyrus didn't even notice him, or rather, he didn't care at all.
After all, Broly's power is too great. Even if Kaido were here, let alone Doflamingo, everyone would only focus their attention on Broly.
Inside the tavern.
Doflamingo resembled a former employee facing a client, repeatedly raising his glass to toast Broly: "Come on, Lord Broly, I'll drink first!"
After saying that, Doflamingo downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
After a few rounds of drinks, Doflamingo's face flushed, and he grew bolder, trying to get closer to the other person: "I wonder what brings Lord Broly away from Amazon Lily this time?"
Broly looked with interest at the newspaper reader, whose face was already flushed from drinking too much, and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, I was just bored and came out for a stroll."
Broly put down his drink and continued, "Your two contemporaries, Crocodile and Moria, have both gone to challenge Whitebeard. Why don't you follow their example and challenge me?"
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo shuddered, nearly dropping his wine glass.
He chuckled dryly, wiped his sweat, and said, "What are you saying? Lord Broly, I'm not one of those two fools, Crocodile and Moria. Besides, you and Whitebeard aren't even in the same league."
Even Doflamingo himself didn't understand where Moria and Crocodile got the guts to challenge Whitebeard.
After arriving in the New World, Doflamingo immediately realized the gap between himself and monsters like Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom. Therefore, he decided to leave the New World and return to Paradise, or even his old lair in the North Blue, to strengthen his power first, and then return to the New World to develop when he has the opportunity in the future.
It has to be said that Doflamingo's brain is indeed much better than the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, it's just a pity that Oda doesn't like him.
Crocodile got a boost from the update, his strength was raised to Hawkeye's level, while Crocodile was stuck in Impel Down reading the newspaper.
Doflamingo then said, "These ladies around Lord Broly don't seem to be Devil Fruit users. Coincidentally, I've been in the business of this for the past few years. I wonder if any of you ladies have a Devil Fruit you'd like? If I were to obtain one, I could give it to you immediately."
Doflamingo knew very well that Broly wouldn't even look at his meager wealth.
So he decided to start with the group of young girls around Broly. After all, pleasing Broly's women was, in a way, pleasing Broly himself.
For a moment, Hancock, Yamato, and the others exchanged glances, remaining silent. Having been around Broly for some time, they knew perfectly well that this blond-haired man was trying to use them to curry favor with Broly.
If I agree to it without consulting Broly, it could very well cause him trouble.
Seeing that the girls remained silent, Doflamingo had no choice but to speak again, patting his chest and assuring them, "Don't worry, although I am weak, I still have some ability. As long as it's not Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit or the Five Elders' Devil Fruit abilities, I can probably get my hands on them."
The World Government has not yet established the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization. If Doflamingo wants to gain a foothold in the New World, the only way is to find a powerful ally.
And Broly is undoubtedly the biggest power on this planet!
If he could get the right to use Broly's flag like Fish-Man Island did, would he even need to go back to the North Blue? He could just start fighting in the New World!
"The Soul-Soul Fruit?"
Broly suddenly spoke up, stroking his chin, "He seems like a good match for Hancock too."
In a way, the Soul-Soul Fruit's power is somewhat similar to that of the Love-Love Fruit.
The Love-Love Fruit can petrify those who harbor evil intentions towards the user, while the Soul-Soul Fruit can extract the souls of those who fear the user.
Although Hancock's appearance isn't as scary as that crazy old woman, if Hancock were given some development, she might be able to achieve the effect of an enhanced version of the Love-Love Fruit.
Doflamingo was startled, nearly dropping his wine glass. After a few seconds, he chuckled dryly and said, "Lord Broly, as for the Soul-Soul Fruit, I'm afraid I don't have that ability."
"oh."
Broly waved his hand dismissively and said, "You don't need to lift a finger. I'll just kill that crazy old woman later."
Even knowing Broly's strength, everyone in the tavern couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Big Mom is one of the world's most powerful pirates, one of the Four Emperors! But in Broly's eyes, she's like a grasshopper, someone he can crush at any time.
Yamato blinked and couldn't help but start imagining what kind of Devil Fruit he could eat in the future.
After thinking it over, Yamato suddenly realized that his father's Azure Dragon Fruit might be quite suitable for him.
Unfortunately, my dad is still alive, so I'll just have to give up eating Devil Fruits for now.
Shocked, Doflamingo quickly recovered and pledged his loyalty: "If the Soul-Soul Fruit is successfully reborn, I will find it immediately and present it to you, sir!"
In Doflamingo's view, Broly killing Big Mom was a foregone conclusion.
However, once the original user dies, the Devil Fruit will randomly regenerate in other parts of this world.
At that time, Doflamingo can use his connections to find the Soul-Soul Fruit after its rebirth and offer it to Broly.
In other words, he still has some value to Broly.
However, Broly didn't immediately agree, but instead asked, "Are there any Devil Fruits stronger than the Soul-Soul Fruit?"
This question stumped Doflamingo.
Even though he was the world's most famous "fruit vendor," he couldn't immediately think of a Devil Fruit more powerful than the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Just then, the tavern door was pushed open.
The Kuja Pirates and the Donquixote Pirates were quite shocked when they heard the commotion, because everyone knew that Broly was inside, and yet someone still dared to come in.
Everyone turned to look and saw an elderly man, over fifty years old with gray hair, leading a group of guards in, accompanied by two beautiful young women.
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow. He recognized the old man; he was none other than the current King of Dressrosa—King Riku III.
King Riku strode up to Broly and, just like Doflamingo had done earlier, knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, saying, "I was unaware that you had come from afar and did not come to greet you immediately. I am truly sorry for not coming to greet you right away, Lord Broly."
Upon hearing from Cyrus that Broly had arrived, King Riku did not hesitate and quickly led his entire family to pay their respects to Broly.
While it's practically unheard of for a king of a member state to pay respects to a pirate, Broly is simply too powerful. Whether he accepts my greetings is his business, but whether King Riku comes or not is a matter of attitude.
Broly blinked and said, "I'm just passing by, no need for any welcome."
Seeing that Broly didn't seem to care, King Riku breathed a sigh of relief, stood up again, and said, "Lord Broly, did you enjoy your time with us? Is there anything else you need?"
"It's nothing, I'll leave after I finish this meal," Broly waved his hand dismissively.
He has little interest in Dressrosa at this stage.
As he said this, Broly couldn't help but glance at Princess Scarlett, who was about 15 years old and had her long pink hair braided, standing next to King Riku III.
Scarlett was quite beautiful, but that wasn't the reason Broly paid her much attention. Mainly, she reminded Broly of his future daughter, Rebecca—that sexy swordswoman who constantly called out "Lucy, Lucy."
Although the women in the world of One Piece all dress quite provocatively, Rebecca's outfit still made Broly wonder if she had some kind of special fetish.
In the original story, many people in the bullfighting arena took good care of Rebecca. Could there be some special reason for that?
Hearing Broly say that he would be leaving in a moment, King Riku and his family breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Then we won't disturb you any longer." King Riku then prepared to leave with his wife, daughter, and others.
Before King Riku and his family could even leave, Toritoma suddenly spoke up, "Doflamingo, you're so eager to flatter Lord Broly, are you perhaps trying to use his name?"
Doflamingo didn't hide anything and immediately admitted, "Well, why not? After all, Lord Broly's strength is known worldwide. Who wouldn't want such a backer?"
Although Broly is only 4 years old, no one in the world really treats Broly as a 4-year-old child.
After all, a 4-year-old child can't come up with so many bizarre and torturous ways to torture someone.
Instead of keeping it a secret, Doflamingo felt it was better to be upfront from the beginning, which might even win Broly's favor.
Clearly, Doflamingo's tactic was quite effective. Broly smiled and asked with interest, "Didn't you want to be the Pirate King? Why are you willing to live under someone else's roof?"
Doflamingo lowered his head and said, "Do the titles of Pirate King, King of the Sea, and King of the World make any difference in front of Lord Broly?"
Aren't they all your toys?
These words sound like pure flattery at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they actually make a lot of sense.
Whether you're the Pirate King or just a background character, Broly can still do whatever he wants with you.
If Broly says that Doflamingo is the Pirate King, who would dare to object?
If Broly wanted to, he could easily pull Im off the throne in the void and have anyone else sit on it.
Upon hearing these words, King Riku, who was preparing to leave, was startled.
He felt that it would be a bad thing for Doflamingo to get Broly's banner. After all, "Heavenly Demon" Doflamingo's reputation wasn't exactly good.
Doflamingo knelt down again, bowing his head to Broly and saying, "If Lord Broly is willing to lend me his banner, I will swear my undying loyalty! If I ever do anything to dishonor your banner, I am willing to atone with my death!"
Although Doflamingo dislikes Bellamy, his behavior at this moment is very similar to Bellamy's.
Broly raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when suddenly everyone's expression changed as they sensed an astonishing aura emanating from the outside world.
The Kuja Pirates all shared the same thought: this aura is very familiar!
At that moment, the tavern door opened, and everyone's expression changed drastically upon seeing several figures walking in.
Yamato instinctively called out, "The seventh day after death, when did this happen?"
Indeed, the visitors were none other than Nasujuro, Pitt, and the other five elders who had previously revived Kozuki Oden at Broly's request, as well as Somaz, Shamrock, and others from the Knights of God.
The only one not present was Gringu, because he is now the commander-in-chief of the Knights of God, responsible for guarding the Holy Land, and he won't come out unless there's something important going on.
King Riku and his family turned pale and quickly made way for him.
I never dreamed that such a small country like mine could gather so many important figures in just one day.
Upon hearing Yamato's nickname for him, Somazu and the others' faces darkened.
But they didn't get angry. Firstly, too many people had called them that these past few days, which had numbed them. Secondly, the white-haired girl was clearly one of Broly's people, so they dared not get angry.
The group of high-ranking World Government officials who entered stood in two rows, one on the left and one on the right, and then knelt down on one knee, as if to welcome someone.
Immediately, a dark figure slowly walked in from outside the door. The newcomer was none other than Junzi, a member of the Knights of God.
However, given Junzi's status, she was not qualified to have the other members of the Knights of God and the Five Elders kneel before her.
Sure enough, as Junzi stepped into the tavern, her demeanor underwent a dramatic change.
Red and black lightning arcs coiled around her, unleashing an astonishing aura that seemed to freeze the air in the entire tavern.
Sensing this raging Conqueror's Haki, Xiao Zi, who had no combat experience whatsoever, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Fortunately, Yamato, who was nearby, reacted quickly and caught her. But Yamato also felt a strong wave of dizziness and struggled to stay upright.
At the same time, Junzi's originally short hair grew rapidly at a visible speed, turning into waist-length hair.
Broly, being a time traveler, immediately recognized that Junzi was possessed by the little sister Im.
Broly chuckled, and in the next instant, he suddenly unleashed an aura even more ferocious than Junzi's!
Instantly, Junzi, who had just entered the tavern, was like a kitten encountering a tiger. The Conqueror's Haki he had released instantly retracted, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, making him unable to even stand steadily.
Broly asked with a grin, "Little sister Im, are you cosplaying as the King of Face? Trying to intimidate me?"
As he spoke, Broly slightly raised his hand, but no one could see what happened.
With a "whoosh," the little sister Im, who was possessing Junzi's body, was cut in half at the waist.
With a thud, his upper body fell heavily to the ground, and blood instantly stained the floor red.
Seeing this, Nasujuro quickly crawled over and explained, "No, no! When Lord Im possesses someone, he passively releases Conqueror's Haki. He absolutely did not mean any disrespect to you!"
Hearing this, Broly slightly toned down his imposing manner, blinked, and asked, "What do you want from me? Are you itching to die?"
Im, who was possessing Junzi, gradually recovered from being cut in two due to his immortality.
Looking down at Broly, who was towering over her, Im gritted her teeth, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Mmm—"
However, he had barely uttered a single word when Hancock ruthlessly interrupted him: "When you talk to Broly, you have to kneel down!"
Upon hearing this, Im trembled all over. Doflamingo, on the other hand, couldn't help but lick his dry lips, his whole body shaking with excitement.
The Five Elders on either side, along with members of the Knights of God, kept giving Im meaningful glances, as if to say, "Lord Im, a moment of patience brings peace, and a step back opens up a vast expanse!"
Finally, in the deathly atmosphere, little sister Im trembled and knelt down on one knee before Broly.
Doflamingo was so excited that he immediately "raised the flag".
Although they knew that Broly's strength far exceeded their imagination, Doflamingo, a Celestial Dragon who had been expelled from Mary Geoise, felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure upon seeing the strongest person who had ruled the World Government for 800 years kneel before Broly.
At the same time, he secretly made up his mind: I'm going to stick with this powerful guy!
Little Sister Im kept reassuring herself: It was Junzi who was kneeling, not me.
Yes, it's a form of psychological victory, that's it.
"What is it?" Broly asked again, his tone tinged with impatience.
Im remained silent for a while, then, noticing Broly's growing impatience, she forced herself to suppress her humiliation and said in a barely audible voice, "Hey—can we make peace?"
