Chapter 40: Information Leaked! The movement of the Shichibukai!
East Blue, Loguetown Island, Port, Navy Ship.
The current time is still 2:50 in the morning. Usually, at times like this in Loguetown City, there is no activity whatsoever. There are very few activities that happen at times like this like drunk people and others doing things. But at this time, there are activities in the port and there are quite crowded there. The hustle was caused by the activities of the Navy which are currently preparing the ship to make a voyage. The captain of that ship is Captain Smoker, known as the strongest Navy in East Blue today.
On the front of the hull, a man with a muscular upright body and also a tall body can be seen. The man has fair skin as well as gray hair color. The man was wearing an exposed jacket with the words "Justice" on the back of the jacket and was currently smoking two cigarettes at once. This man also carried a kind of stick made of sea stone and also an iron mixture behind his body. This man is the captain of this ship, Captain Smoker.
"Recall suddenly..." Smoker muttered softly as he stared towards the front ocean then exhaled the cigarette smoke smoked him, "This is very rare, especially with the attitude of the higher-ups towards me. Is it possible that Kuzan did this?"
Kuzan or Aokiji has a good relationship with Smoker. Although the two have very different ranks, this does not prevent the two from knowing each other and even having a friendship relationship. Smoker can be said to be fairly famous people in the Navy. He was famous for his rebellious nature and would not follow orders as long as they did not conform to his philosophy.
This also caused him who was supposed to serve in the Grand Line area as well as in the New World to be placed in East Blue. Sengoku was afraid that there would be a second Garp in the Navy which would only cause him a headache. Sengoku knew the potential power possessed by Smoker and it would be very bad if Smoker later did something against the World Government and got him punished. The sentence of going to jail is okay, Sengoku and others can help him, but as long as it is a death sentence. It is difficult for them to help to save him.
Simultaneously...
A footstep approached Smoker. The person who approached her was a woman in a fairly casual shirt, had blue trousers, and was wearing a jacket with the words "Justice" on the back. This woman has a white skin appearance with a slender body, short blue hair, and eats a pair of glasses.
"Report Captain Smoker! The ship is ready and can set off immediately!"
The woman was Letna Dua Tashigi.
"Set sail immediately! We must arrive at the Headquarters as soon as possible!"
"Ok!"
Tashigi immediately turned around and executed the order from the Smoker.
Smoker sighed then stared back at the front, "What exactly does the bigwig want?... I have a bad feeling..."
The Navy ship immediately raised its anchor and then slowly began sailing away from the port of Loguetown City. The ship used by Smoker today is just an ordinary Navy ship. Since his post was only at the level of a Captain, Smoker did not have the right to use a ship equipped with sea stones. Moreover, because his assignment area is only in the East Blue region, he does not need the ship.
Because of the use of this ship, Smoker could not immediately cut off the road to sail to the Navy Headquarters. He had to go through the Red Line first and then arrive at the Grand Line. It will take 7 days for him to arrive at Navy Headquarters if using his current ship. Meanwhile, if he uses the Navy's main ship, it doesn't take long, the ship has all the things needed to sail and also has propulsion that can increase the speed of the ship. The use of the ship could help one sail at high speed and it would only take 3 days of sailing to arrive at Navy Headquarters if calculating the distance from Loguetown Island.
New World, Kingdom of Dressrosa.
The Kingdom of Dressrosa is one of the kingdoms that exist in the territory of the New World. This kingdom is quite famous in the New World because of several things such as being famous for the city life where humans and toys coexist, a city full of music and laughter, and a city led by a king who is quite famous and has a great influence in the upper world as well as whose underworld else. In the central part of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, there is a high mountain and just above the mountain, there is a large palace. The palace is the palace of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
The current time is back to 2:40 in the morning. Like other cities. Currently, there are not many activities happening in the Kingdom of Dressrosa because it is currently a rest period. There are only a few drunken pedestrians in the City area who walk here and there without a clear direction.
Royal Palace of Dressrosa.
In one of the rooms there, a man was seen who was there was currently asleep. The man was sleeping on the mattress that was there with great serenity until—
*Bluuuuu* *Bluuuuu* *Bluuuu*
The sound of den-den mushi was immediately heard in the room. The quiet atmosphere of the room increased the volume of the sound emitted by the den-den mushi. The sound of this den-den mushi also awakened the person who was currently asleep. The person immediately got up from his bed then picked up the glasses that were on his small bedside table then used them.
The appearance of the man was finally seen.
The man wore very good-looking sleepwear, his body was tall and muscular, and had wheat-colored skin. The man has short yellow hair as well as wearing quite eccentric pink glasses.
The identity of the man is the King of the Kingdom of Dressrosa as well as the Shichibukai - Donquixote Doflamingo!
Doflamingo immediately walked towards the den-den mushi and glanced at him then immediately picked him up.
"Who?" Doflamingo's voice was very calm, but it carried an intent that could kill anyone who contacted him for no apparent reason.
"It's me, Doffy, Vergo"
"Fufufu, you haven't contacted me for a long time, Vergo" Doflamingo's mood was immediately happy to hear who was contacting him at this time. Vergo is one of the families considered by Doflamingo. Vergo is also one of the top brass of the Doflamingo group where he has followed Doflamingo since their group was formed.
"I'm sorry, Doffy" Vergo's voice sounded to have a sense of recension, "Previously there had not been much movement made by the Navy that was dangerous and it would be very dangerous for me too if I always contacted you for an unclear reason"
"You don't have to worry about knowing that, Vergo" Doflamingo smiled, "You are my family, how could I be angry if you contacted me just for unclear reasons"
"Thank you" Vergo's voice instantly turned into a delight to hear this.
"Any information you want to tell me, Vergo?" Doflamingo's voice has now become a little more serious than before. Doflamingo knew that there was no way Vergo would contact him for no apparent reason other than that at this time Vergo was contacting him at a very evening time and this was the first time he had done this.
"The information conveyed by me is huge information, Doffy."
"So big? Fufufu, I wonder, how big is the information?"
"... This information can change the pattern of this world"
Instantly the atmosphere fell silent again, even Doflamingo was shocked by this information.
"Explain to me in detail!" Doflamingo immediately said it seriously.
If anyone else who said this to Doflamingo exempts his information from the Emperor of the Seas or the World Government. Doflamingo probably wouldn't believe that information directly. However, the person who said it was one of his bigwigs. Doflamingo knew that Vergon couldn't fool around with him.
Without wasting much time, Vergo immediately gave all the information known to him regarding the guild and the dungeon. This information exploded at the moment it was received by Doflamingo. Although Doflamingo has heard a lot of information that can surprise him, the information he received is so big that can even subvert the world pattern that has now been built up hundreds of years ago.
"Anyone who knows the information about this place?" Doflamingo asked back.
"Mei' O Silver Rayleigh, the Kuja pirate group, the Navy especially the higher-ups, and also... We suspect that at this time the Akagami pirate group has also obtained this information"
"Akagami?"
"Yes. Some time ago, Sengoku told us that the troops lurking around them had been destroyed and that it was likely to cover up their movements. Another factor is also found in the presence of the May' O Silver Rayleigh. Akagami was previously the one who had been on Roger's ship which made the two have a relationship. The information obtained by Akagami likely came from Rayleigh"
"Fufufu, it seems to be" Doflamingo's smile immediately became a smirk, "I wonder, is it possible that they want to resurrect Roger?"
"The Navy, especially the higher-ups, predicted this" Vergo said, "Although Roger can be resurrected, at the moment the Navy's focus is not on him but on the Guild and the Dungeon. Sengoku has now formed a group that will help to increase the strength of the Navy in the dungeon. Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Zephyr, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Gion, Vice Admiral Momonga, Vice Admiral Yamakaji, me, and two disciples trained by Admiral Zephyr. We were all chosen to build the foundation that the Navy had there."
"Fufufu, it's a terrible force, especially with the existence of strong people there. It seems the Navy wants to carry out an uprising against the World Government. I wondered, might it be time for those old men to step down from their thrones? Fufufu..."
"The current Navy seriously really wants to do an uprising, Doffy. But not all bigwigs know about this. It seems that Sengoku and others want to minimize the leakage of information about their actions and also information about guilds and dungeons"
"Of course! Fufufu, guilds, and dungeons, these two places if the information is leaked will soon become something that subverts the pattern of the world! Honor! Throne! Possessions! Status! Whatever you guys want it's all there! Hey! Do you think that One Piece, the treasures left by Roger will be valuable when compared with this place? When comparing the two, people will know which is more valuable."
"Doffy..." Vergo called back, "I hope our group will be able to start the movement as well at this time. Information about this place is not widely known by others. It means we can use this to build our strength in the dungeon before anyone else does."
"yes... I know" Doflamingo smiled grinningly, "We are the first people, of course, we must also be the ones who are the power holders there in the future. Thanks for the information, Vergo. Keep me informed especially regarding the information regarding the dungeon. We will also make a move here soon."
"Ok"
Communication is then turned off. Doflamingo's smile bloomed and then the sound of demon laughter came from inside the room, "Fufufu... Hahahahaha... Dungeon? Guild? This world is going to become more and more interesting than before! Who will later be able to control and conquer the place? World Government? Navy? Revolutionary Army? Emperor of the Seas? Shichibukai? Or is it an unknown force? The world is really in a very erratic direction! Hey, hey, hey, I wonder. Is it possible that the World Government is about to fall? Will the Navy rebellion be well realized? Is it possible that the Emperor of the Ocean will become the overlord in the dungeon? Hahahaha, it's very interesting!"
Doflamingo then immediately began to make his movements as well. Doflamingo will bring a number of his cadres consisting of Pica, Gladius, Buffalo, and Baby 5 to come with him to Sabound Island. However, Doflamingo did not come with them using a ship but went directly there using his abilities.
