Chapter 404

The second half of the Grand Line.

On the next island, which was on the route of Yeruashi and Robin, the Kingdom of Prodens was located.

It was a fairly large island, like Dress Rosa, surrounded by massive rocks on all sides.

It was possible to get to this island only through one large port.

"Robin, it looks like we've already arrived."

Yeruashi, who was reading a book on the sofa in the living room, turned the last page and put it aside.

Robin, wearing a purple shirt, was sitting across from Yeruashi.

Hearing his words, she carefully made a bookmark and also put the book down.

"We're already at the port."

Robin looked out of the window and looked at the port, which turned out to be much larger than the other ports they had seen on the previous islands.

A large number of various ships were closely moored in the port of the Kingdom of Prodens.

As they approached the port, a certain ship attracted Robin's attention.

It was a large ship.

The design of the ship seemed very strong and impressive, and several rows of large gun ports were visible in the sides, but the flag flying above the mast attracted the most attention.

There were five balls on it, connected by lines in the shape of a cross.

This is the ship of the World Government!

"What is the World Government ship doing here..."

Robin was surprised, but she didn't panic, because whoever was on this World Government ship, they should be the ones panicking at this moment.

At the same time, Yeruashi, who came out on the deck of his ship, also noticed the ship of the World Government.

He thought for a moment, and then looked at this ship with a sky-blue glow in the pupils.

"Interesting..."

Yeruashi chuckled as he saw the situation inside the World Government ship, and steered his ship to a dock nearby.

Yeruashi's ship did not stand out in any way in this port, which was not only large, but also filled with many ships, and as for the wings of freedom, no one knew them yet, and the new flag of Yeruashi did not cause any waves at all.

But.

As soon as Yeruashi carelessly stepped off the ship into the port with Robin, it immediately caused a huge uproar.

"This...Traveler!!"

Someone shouted out Yeruashi's nickname in a frightened and shocked voice.

The Kingdom of Prodens was not closed, like the Country of Vano, for example, and was even part of the World Government.

As a rule, news from all over the sea reaches here without any problems and delays.

Perhaps many locals will not be able to recognize criminals with a reward of several hundred or even a billion belli, but in the Kingdom of Prodens, without exaggeration, it is difficult to find a local resident who does not know the people standing on the very top of the sea, which of course includes Yeruashi!

By this time, Yeruashi had already gained great fame, not much inferior even to Belous and the Pirate King Golden Roger.

This can be considered an amazing achievement, considering that less than six months ago, Yeruashi did not have any fame and reputation at all!

"Ah, don't be afraid...I'm not the devil..."

Yeruashi smiled helplessly, seeing how several boatmen around him backed away and fell to the ground with pale faces: "I would take a better look at my ship if I were you, otherwise I might get a little angry if someone suddenly takes it into their head to steal it..."

Gulp! Gulp!

The people around him swallowed nervously.

Some of the people whose ships were moored nearby immediately made a fuss, intending to drive them away from Yeruashi's ship.

In fact, Yeruashi did not intend to intimidate anyone, he just wanted his new emblem to spread across the expanses of the sea as soon as possible.

"Come on, Robin."

Yeruashi looked at Robin, who was standing at the side, with a slight smile, and slowly walked forward.

The World Government ship was moored about a hundred meters away from Yeruashi's ship.

On the ship.

In a spacious and elegant room, there were several people dressed in standard white suits.

They were members of SP-0!

The strongest intelligence organization of the World Government, which is directly subordinate to the Heavenly Dragons.

They are usually responsible for the safety of the Heavenly Dragons and follow the direct orders of Gorosei.

With the exception of SP-0, there were other people in the room who had different complexions and wore various clothes, but they were all standing as well as the members of SP-0.

There was only one person sitting.

He wasn't a Sky Dragon.

But it would not be quite correct to say that he is not a Heavenly Dragon, because in fact, in the past he had this status, but lost it.

It was...

Quixote Doflamingo!

Doflamingo was sprawled out on the sofa with an evil smile.

Den Den Mushi was standing on the coffee table in front of him.

"Fu-fu-fu-fu...you didn't want to listen to anything when I returned to the Holy Land of Marijoa...with the head of your stupid and naive father, but when the World Government was in a 'difficult situation', you came running to me and begged me to come back...isn't that ironic? Fu-fu-fu..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Doflamingo!!"

From the other side, the irritated voice of one of the Gorosei was heard.

Another Gorosei said: "You can only blame your father for this! It was his decision, and you and your brother became part of that choice...once you have given up the rights and privileges of the Heavenly Dragon, it is impossible to go back, but you should be perfectly aware of what is happening now!"

"You, too, were once a World Nobleman! Don't forget your bloodline!!"

"You have the noble blood of the Quixote family in your veins! We cannot allow the irretrievable loss of this bloodline!!"

Doflamingo grinned maliciously and laughed when he heard Gorosei's words.

"Fu-fu-fu..."

He once begged them, hoping to return to the Holy Land of Marijoa and regain the status of a Heavenly Dragon, but was rejected.

Now the circumstances have completely changed.

The Heavenly Dragons are on the verge of extinction due to the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa!

Of the descendants of the nineteen kings who founded the World Government, only eight families survived, and the remaining eleven...completely disappeared from this world!

In an effort to restore the families of the 'descendants of the creators' as soon as possible, the Gorosei contacted Doflamingo, the bearer of the Donquixote family pedigree, through SP-0.

"What the hell are you laughing at?!"

From the other side, an exasperated cry came from one of the Gorosei.

Den Den Mushi's eyes, imitating the facial expressions and voice of Gorosei, were burning with anger and rage.

"Don't get too deep! Doflamingo!!"

"Don't forget that the Quixote bloodline flows not only in your veins! There is also your brother, Rocinante! So we don't have to bring you back! Don't you want your privileges and status back? Answer me!!"

Sensing that the Gorosei were already very annoyed and starting to lose their temper, Doflamingo stopped laughing.

But.

Just when he was about to give an answer...

A relaxed and calm voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"Ah, I don't think that you will be willing to accept what you used to covet so much, but were cruelly rejected..."

"I'm right, after all...Doffy?"

These words instantly plunged the room into absolute silence.

Gorosei on the other side froze in amazement on the spot with his mouth open, and his expression was clearly imitated by Den Den Mushi on this side.

"Who?!"

Everyone present exclaimed at the same time, turning sharply in the direction of the corner of the room.

But in the next moment, they all froze in place in amazement.

It didn't matter if it was Diamante, Pica and the rest of the Quixote Family or the members of SP-0, everyone in this room reacted the same way.

Even Doflamingo visibly tensed, and drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

In the corner of the room, it is unknown when a young man with silver-white hair appeared.

He was sitting calmly in an armchair, carelessly reading a newspaper, and seemed not to pay attention to Doflamingo and the others at all.

Everyone present instantly recognized this young man.

Even before the others, the Gorosei realized who exactly appeared in the room on the other side, hearing this calm voice, which became their worst nightmare.

The closest to God.

A traveler!

Yeruashi!
