He wasn't surprised by the Navy finding him here, because such information couldn't be concealed.

But similarly, if the Navy was making a large-scale operation towards here, he wouldn't possibly not receive any news!

The time difference in between would be enough for him to transfer everything in time, leaving the arriving Navy with nothing.

But this time the Navy had come right to his doorstep, and he hadn't received any news.

This meant that either the Navy had planned the operation long ago, deceiving his informants, or his underlings had become so stupid they had gone blind.

Moreover, it was such a coincidence that the Navy chose this day of all days.

Right now, who knew how many people on the island were drunk as a skunk, unable to even hold their weapons steady, let alone retaliate?

But Doflamingo quickly regained his calm because if even he were to panic, this day might very well be the day the Donquixote family perishes.

"Trafalgar, you immediately take people to transfer all the family's assets left here to the ship, then head to the backup port to rendezvous with us."

"Jola, you and Dellinger get on the ship first."

"Diamante, you gather all those who are still sober and capable of fighting to rush to where the Navy is landing. You must block them for a while, buying Trafalgar enough time to move the assets. If you can't resist, fight while retreating and return here."

"Pica, you stay here. When the time comes, give those Navy who chase us here a surprise!"

"Buffalo, you immediately conduct aerial reconnaissance, remember the Navy's setup, then report back to me. Oh, and pay attention to who the Navy commander is this time? I suspect it's that lingering old hag, Crane!"

"Lastly... Corazon, you take Law and the others and stay by my side."

Corazon, who was last glanced at by Doflamingo, felt a tightening in his heart, but there was no change in his expression, only nodding to indicate his understanding.

As Doflamingo's orders were relayed, the people in the room quickly left, each to their own tasks.

Thus, a grand melee between the Navy and the Donquixote family began.

But regardless of the final result, this base was destined to cease to exist.

And the once flourishing momentum of the family's rapid development will be curbed.

Think about it, those forces that were forced to submit to the Donquixote family, when they see the family's homeland being stolen by the Navy and being beaten into a retreat, wouldn't they have other ideas? Wouldn't they think the Donquixote family is merely 'a paper tiger', 'a bully who fears the hard'?

Those restless ones would definitely take this opportunity to stir up trouble.

The once promising situation instantly vanished!

How could this not infuriate Doflamingo!

"Navy, you've brought this upon yourselves!"

Doflamingo decided to teach these Navy a harsh lesson, even if doing so would betray some of his original intentions, straying from his plan of low-key development and avoiding conflict with the Navy for the time being.

After all, even the meekest person has a temper, and now that they've been attacked at their doorstep, if there were no reaction, morale would likely disintegrate.

Soon, Buffalo's report came in.

This time, the Navy had deployed five battleships and thousands of navy personnel, led by none other than Doflamingo's 'old acquaintance' and arch-enemy, Crane!

"Very well, then let's enjoy this game!"

Doflamingo's eyes were full of killing intent, an expression that genuinely unsettled Corazon.
