31 Chapter 154 Sengoku And Kaido Are Still Fighting Fiercely, But We Have Reconciled.

The Flamingo quickly sailed away from Keles Island.

Seeing the overwhelming aura erupting from the island, and the roar of the fight that sounded from time to time, Doflamingo stood on the deck and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's amazing... as expected of the monsters of the New World and Marine Headquarters Admiral.

"Is this your plan? Young Master?" Senor stood beside Doflamingo and asked softly.

Doflamingo shook his head slightly and said: "No, at the beginning, my plan was to fight Charlotte Linlin for a few days and give Marines enough bait to draw out Sengoku. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Marines not to do something. This war, judging from my strategic goals, is my victory.

As long as the Marines join the battle, it doesn't matter whether Charlotte Linlin runs away, is captured, or is killed by Sengoku.

In short, Doflamingo's strategic goal has been achieved, which is to be successful in the New World.

And in a short time, the Big Mom Pirates won't dare to provoke them again.

The dynamics among pirates are indeed complex, especially concerning matters of enmity. While he has a longstanding feud with Big Mom, if Doflamingo proves himself formidable and demonstrates to Big Mom that he's not an easy target, then in their future encounters, she'll have to reconsider her approach. Unlike this time, she won't underestimate him at all!

After all, just talking about grudges, who doesn't have any grievances in this sea?

This was Doflamingo's original plan.

And when Kaido appeared, this plan was completely scrapped, and Doflamingo was a little flustered at the time.

But soon, his good brother Sengoku arrived.

"In the second phase, when Sengoku appeared, I had to adapt the plan once more. I had two objectives in mind. Firstly, to discreetly withdraw from the battlefield. Secondly, to exploit the situation to manipulate Sengoku into facing Kaido," explained Doflamingo.

Despite the façade of camaraderie between him and Sengoku, Doflamingo harbored no illusions. He knew that given the chance, he would betray Sengoku just as readily as Sengoku would seize any opportunity to bring him down.

So, during that moment, Doflamingo's strategy was to feign desperation in his battle against Charlotte Linlin while secretly seeking an opportunity to escape. Once he runs, Sengoku will face the combination of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin alone.

At that time, he will be designated to have his good juice to eat.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo did not expect that Charlotte Linlin, like himself, planned to leave the battlefield as soon as possible!

The moment the two fought against each other, they could feel that the other party had no intention of continuing the fight, but wanted to take the opportunity to run away.

At the same time, both parties also understood the previous misunderstanding. Charlotte Linlin knew instantly that Doflamingo and Sengoku were not collluding, and Doflamingo was the same. He immediately realized that Kaido was an anomaly, and it was not Charlotte Linlin who specially called him for help.

Otherwise, the situation cannot be like this!

But at that time, the timing was fixed. Although both of them seemed to understand something, they didn't intend to continue to entangle.

Now, the situation on the island of Keles, purportedly the battleground for the decisive clash between the Donquixote Family and the Big Mom Pirates, sees both protagonists withdrawing from the battlefield after several hours of intense fighting.

On the contrary, the chaotic Kaido and the long-prepared Sengoku fought fiercely together.

It can be said that the world is unpredictable... really strange.

Above the clouds, a hot air balloon floated over Keles Island, and Big News Morgans was excitedly filming the fierce battle between Kaido and Admiral Sengoku on the island.

"Hahahahaha, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful, I'm afraid no one would have thought that at the end of the Keles Island fight, all the protagonists disappeared, but the Marines and the Beasts Pirates got together. I already had a hunch that it would be possible to write a big story that sells!" Morgans said with a laugh.

Just kidding, Doflamingo released the news a few days earlier, Morgans, as a journalist, how can he not show up at the battlefield a few days in advance? 

At the risk of being swept to death by the clash of Conqueror's Haki, he lurked in the clouds, and this danger was not in vain. Now, doesn't he have the most exciting first-hand news?

"Heavenly Yaksha·Don Quixote·Doflamingo..." Morgans looked at the New Flamingo which was gradually retreating on the sea, and murmured with emotion in his heart: "I also thought at first that as newcomers to the New World they wouldn't be Linlin's opponent...but now it seems that everyone underestimated him..."

Morgans, having observed the battle from start to finish, recollected the events. It was true that Doflamingo appeared to have executed a "sneak attack." By leveraging the abilities of a Thunder Fruit user, he inflicted severe injuries on Charlotte Linlin, thereby gaining the advantage.

When he recalls the battle, he will also find out that, except for the unexpected sword slash that cut off his arm, Doflamingo did not suffer any injuries at all in the several clashes with Bigmom!

Even with his severed arm recovering instantly, Morgans couldn't shake the feeling of illusion. It seemed that in this fight, Doflamingo handled himself with ease and composure.

"He... must have hidden some powerful trump cards still, but the sudden change in the battlefield was beyond his expectation, so maybe he didn't use it?" Morgan's patted the feather on his chin and muttered.

On the other side, Charlotte Linlin was resting on her flagship the Queen Mama Chanter, who had lost its soul. After pondering for a moment, she put the transponder snail on Zeus's back and ordered: Go, find the ship of that bastard Doflamingo!"

"Mama?" Zeus looked at Charlotte Linlin with some fear.

Charlotte Linlin stared, Zeus didn't dare to contradict her, and quickly flew away from there.

Not long after, Doflamingo saw Zeus, and Virgo spoke first, "Do you want to shoot it?"

"No need to..." Doflamingo shook his head.

Soon, Zeus flew to Doflamingo's side tremblingly, and Doflamingo also saw the transponder snail on him.

"Fufufufufufu...we have only been separated for a short while, and you already miss me Linlin?" Doflamingo said in a very intimate tone.

Charlotte Linlin was disgusted at the den den Mushi for a while, and cursed angrily: "Don't be too complacent, brat, you win this time!"

Charlotte Linlin is not someone who can't afford to lose, and none of the strong people who can stand at the top in this sea can't afford to lose."

The reason why they are called monsters is not because they have never been defeated.

It's because no matter how many times they get knocked down, they can stand up again and hold their flag high!

This is a real monster!

Of course, when Charlotte Linlin said you won, she didn't mean that she thought Doflamingo was stronger than her, but that from the overall situation of the battle on Keles Island, it seemed that Doflamingo achieved his goal, but she didn't.

So, Doflamingo wins.

Doflamingo didn't answer the call, and Charlotte Linlin didn't seem surprised, and asked directly: "Is Katakuri still in your hands?"

Is Katakuri still alive? Charlotte Linlin is very clear about this. Judging from the status of the vivre card, her best son is alive and should not have suffered any troubles.

So Charlotte Linlin didn't ask such nonsense at all, but asked if Katakuri was still in Doflamingo's hands.

After all... this bastard Doflamingo is in bed with the World Government, if he handed over Katakuri, it's not impossible to imagine such a case. 

"Yes." Doflamingo replied calmly.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea transitioned smoothly, without any missteps. Furthermore, Katakuri, originally considered a bargaining chip, remained in the hands of the Donquixote Family at that moment.

Charlotte Linlin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Make an offer, bastard!"

Initially, Doflamingo lacked the qualifications to negotiate with Charlotte Linlin, leading to this war. However, Charlotte Linlin's statement now implies that Doflamingo has earned a place at the "card table" of the New World pirates and can participate in their dealings.

He is no longer a 'card' in someone's hand.

Through the war, he obtained a new identity, greater status, and respect.

Charlotte Linlin concluded that resorting to violence was not a viable option for subduing Doflamingo, at least temporarily. Therefore, she decided to return to the negotiating table to discuss the matter concerning Katakuri.

"Fufufufufu..." Doflamingo chuckled evilly before speaking, "First, let's talk about obtaining two Devil Fruits. Our status is on par, Linlin, so I won't leave without a fair deal. It has to be reasonable, after all..."

Charlotte Linlin said in a very calm tone: "Fine."

"Secondly, let's cancel the state of war between the Totto Land Kingdom and my Dressrosa. Similarly, the conflict between the Big Mom Pirates and my Donquixote Family should also be put to rest. That shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Doflamingo said with a sly grin.

He's the winner, and he's giving Charlotte Linlin some face by only asking for this much.

Therefore, Charlotte Linlin was also a little surprised, but she still replied calmly: What else. "

"Third, the right to trade. Dressrosa must have the right to trade all kinds of goods in the entire territory of Totto Land. This is a matter of mutual benefit to us, there should be no problem?" Doflamingo said softly.

Charlotte Linlin didn't answer immediately this time, but responded after thinking for a while: "Are you here at the New World to do business?"

"Fufufufu, to a certain extent." Doflamingo replied viciously.

"Okay." Charlotte Linlin finally agreed.

"Then, when everyone in the New World knows this, Katakuri will also return to Whole Cake Island." Doflamingo also promised.

In this way, the two outsiders, Sengoku and Kaido, are fighting in a life and death match, and the two insiders, Doflamingo and Charlotte Linlin, have directly reconciled.
