Chapter 13: Doflamingo's Help!
North Blue, Spider Miles Island.
This is a port town filled with Stone Buildings, Stone Slab, Chimney, and Greyish-White Smoke all day long. The people on the Island mainly live by developing heavy industry, so the beach is piled with Industrial Equipment Scrap.
As early as several years ago, this place was chosen by Doflamingo, who led Vergo, Trebol, Pica, and Diamante to be stationed here.
Because this place has ready-made equipment and workers who can mass-produce the Firearms, Hand Grenades, and other hot weapons they need, and then sell them to various kingdoms in the North Blue.
In the past year, as the Family's reputation has gradually risen, business and influence have begun to tentatively spread towards the Grand Line.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but today, Doflamingo, who had just turned seventeen, received infuriating news.
Vergo, who was also seventeen this year, walked into the room and said in a deep voice to Mingo on the Red Sofa, "Dofla, something happened on Black Island!"
"Some more idiots causing trouble again?"
"Aren't Zhelmu and Elro over there? Just let them handle it." Doflamingo, lying on the Sofa, closed his Eyes and replied softly.
"The troublemaker is Douglas Barrett, a former Crew Member of the Roger Pirates, nicknamed 'Demon Child'." Vidal continued to explain the situation with an unchanged expression, "As for Zhelmu and the others, they should have been taken care of. I just called the Telephone Bug again, and no one answered."
"Hmm?!" Hearing Bullet's name, Doflamingo suddenly opened his Eyes, his sharp Eyesight staring straight ahead, and said, "It's him, I didn't expect us to be so unlucky to encounter such a jinx. It seems Black Island is completely finished."
Of course, he had also heard about Bullet's recent rampage and slaughter in the Grand Line, but now that he has actually encountered it, to be honest, it's very uncomfortable.
Black Island was his first Business Point placed in the Grand Line. He originally thought of using it as a Transit Station to expand the Family's business and influence.
Now that this has happened, he knows that he will have to wait a few years to advance into the Grand Line, because in the Underworld, losers are rarely recognized.
Since Black Island has raised the Banner of the Donquixote Family, being destroyed by someone means failure. Therefore, they have to wait for the impact of this incident to dissipate with the passage of time, and at the same time, their own Strength needs to be stronger.
"Should I take people there?" Vergo asked.
In his opinion, although Bullet is a former Crew Member of the Roger Pirates, he is only twenty-one years old. Although he is four years older than himself, as long as he brings a few Executives, they should be able to join forces and take care of him.
"No." Doflamingo shook his head and rejected the proposal, evilly smiling, "We don't need to take action. This monster is causing too much trouble, someone will deal with him. We just need to provide a little help, fufufufufu."
Vergo listened to Mingo laughing non-stop, not understanding why.
Grand Line, Sea Area near the middle section of Route 4, a Warship with a Dog Head Ornament leading four normal warships around it, slowly sailing on the sea in formation.
The sound of rapid footsteps rang out. A colonel wearing a Justice Coat quickly came out of the cabin, then stood still, saluted, and then, under the gaze of Vice Admiral Bogart, who was the adjutant on the side, loudly Report to the tall figure facing away from him.
"Report, Vice Admiral garp, just received Intelligence from CP5, Douglas Barrett's location has been confirmed!"
garp turned around after hearing this and laughed happily, showing a joyful expression.
"Hahahaha, is that so? Finally found him? The CIPHER POL brats have done a good job recently!"
He has been tracking Bullet these past few days, but every time he arrives at the scene of the attack, he can't find anyone. After all, Bullet is fighting alone, and his mobility is definitely faster than a fleet.
Now it's good, CP5 must be tracking Bullet, so there is a chance to intercept him!
"Then what are we waiting for? Full speed ahead!" garp loudly issued the Order.
"Yes, Vice Admiral!" The colonel heard the Order and quickly turned around and ran back into the cabin.
Before long, all the warships turned together and quickly sailed towards Route 4, arriving at Black Island in about two and a half days.
"What did CP5 say? Is that kid still here?" garp asked, looking at the black dots gradually appearing on the sea horizon. Then the colonel behind him replied, "Yes, after Bullet killed everyone on the Island, it seems he is going to rest there for a few days."
"Rest?" garp curled his lip.
"I see, he is deliberately waiting for us. He also knows that he has gone too far recently, and the Navy will definitely deal with him. So he found an Island to recover his Strength, but that kid definitely didn't expect it to be me personally coming. I will definitely beat him up later, and it will also be a lesson for that bastard Crew Member on behalf of Roger!"
He was right. On Black Island, Bullet was standing on a Hillock, looking out at the five Navy Headquarters-Class Battleships approaching.
Under his feet were dilapidated Buildings and Corpses with tragic deaths. Large patches of Fresh Blood flowed everywhere. The Scorched Earth Smell and Blood Stench were extremely strong in the air, and even the Sea Breeze from the dilapidated Port could not blow them away.
It's just that his keen Sixth Sense made him feel a little frightened, but at this time he had fully recovered, and his physical Strength had long since returned to its best state.
Now, even if he encountered a Navy Admiral, he would dare to rush forward head-on!
Since he personally witnessed Gol D. Roger's Public Execution in Marineford, Bullet felt that life had no goals and no pursuits. There was no one in this World worth challenging for a lifetime. With his terrifying talent, apart from Roger, those other Big Shots were all Incompetent People who would be surpassed by him in a few years.
And this time, he was deliberately waiting for the Navy to come. Since Roger died at the hands of the Navy, then he should at least sink a few warships and slaughter tens of thousands of Navy soldiers!
If he really encountered a Navy Admiral, hmph, he felt that he was not without a chance to defeat them.
"Since the Order is for me to fight him one-on-one, then you are responsible for surrounding the Island and prohibiting others from disturbing us!" garp looked at the Small Island less than a kilometer away, and could no longer restrain himself. After excitedly instructing them, he stomped heavily on the Deck, and suddenly the entire Dog Head Battleship shook on the sea.
He saw that his whole person was like a human-shaped cannonball, breaking through the Sound Barrier, and shooting out accompanied by an Air Wave, leaving behind Vice Admiral Bogart, who had a look of Habit on his face, continuing to stand there steadily holding his Long Sword.
[Whoosh—] On the Island, Bullet noticed a sharp whistling sound coming from the distant sky. In the blink of an Eye, he heard a loud bang. The town below shook like it had been Bombardment, and large patches of smoke rose up. Several nearby damaged Buildings could no longer hold on and collapsed.
A moment later, a black shadow stepped out of the thick smoke.
"Yo, little Bullet, long time no see~" garp stared at Bullet on the Hillock with a playful expression and revealed a bright smile.
On the other side, when Bullet saw that the person who came was garp, his Eyebrow furrowed, and his expression subconsciously became extremely serious. The muscles all over his body tightened even more, and the level of vigilance in his heart was directly maxed out.
He knew that this battle would be difficult!
