"..."
There was silence in the room.
The Gorosei on the other side were also silent.
After a few seconds of silence, Den Den Mushi clicked and then slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he had fallen into a dream.
On the opposite side, he simply hung up the phone.
After the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa, all units of the World Government were temporarily organized in Enies Lobby in the first half of the Grand Line.
In an office on the top floor of the Enies Lobby central building, one of the Gorosei waved his hand and turned off Den Den Mushi.
The other four were also silent.
"Doflamingo knew him..."
"What's next?"
"We'll have to abandon Doflamingo and switch to Rocinante, in no case should we offend him..."
It was quite some time before one of the Gorosei spoke.
His voice was very weak and quiet, and a depressing and suffocating atmosphere reigned in the room.
The other Gorosei looked at each other and nodded.
One of them slowly raised his head, looking at the ceiling.
At this moment, his eyes were shaking violently and the same terrifying image kept repeating in his head over and over again.
No.
This was not the scene of the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa.
In fact, even the destruction of the Holy Land would not make them fear Yeruashi to the point that they would not even dare to speak to him through Den Den Mushi.
The words echoed in their heads and the expression on Im's face after the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa was mirrored.
"He is..."
"He is not a person..."
"I only saw destruction and death..."
These words echoed in their heads to this day.
Although the Gorosei did not know what kind of future they could see, there was no doubt that the Traveler was a creature completely unlike any person in the vastness of this sea!
Perhaps a god, but maybe.... a demon from the depths of hell!
...
On the other hand.
In one of the rooms of the great ship of the World Government.
Whether it was Doflamingo, Diamond or SP-0, everyone froze in place and beads of cold sweat ran down their foreheads.
Everyone present looked silently at Yeruashi, who was sitting relaxed in a chair with a newspaper in his hands.
"I don't think you're eager to get back to this rotten trash."
Yeruashi slowly turned a couple of pages, put down the newspaper and looked at Doflamingo with a smile.
Doflamingo's face was extremely tense and his voice trembled, "...po...of course...how is that possible."
"I was about to reject them..."
Despite the words spoken, in fact, Doflamingo really wanted to return and restore his status as a Heavenly Dragon.
Is there something wrong with that for him? Especially when the vast majority of the Heavenly Dragons were killed.
If he returned under such circumstances, he could immediately occupy one of the highest positions in the World Government.
Most likely his status would be close to Gorosei's, even taking his place in the future would not be impossible.
But the reason for the appearance of such a good opportunity was the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa and the death of almost all the Heavenly Dragons by the Traveler sitting right in front of him at this moment!
Doflamingo was not afraid of Gorosei at all.
But Yeruashi is completely different.
As a former Celestial Dragon, Doflamingo knew some of the secrets of the Celestial Dragons, including their ultimate means, but even considering them, the World Government was still powerless against the Traveler!
People in the expanses of the sea are of the opinion that a Traveler with the title of the "Closest Man to God" should be strong enough to stand on the absolute top of the sea, perhaps even comparable to Whitebeard.
But Doflamingo is well aware that this view is fundamentally flawed.
The horror of the Traveler far surpasses someone like Whitebeard!
The person who destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa, of course, won't care about killing a couple of surviving Celestial Dragons.
If you make the Traveler a little angry, he can be buried immediately in this room!
The SP-0 members who were here, like Doflamingo, knew very well that the horror of the Traveler far surpasses someone like the Beast Pirates or even the Whitebeard Pirates!
"That's good."
Yeruashi nodded with satisfaction, "You are different from the rest of the Celestial Dragons because you have experienced and known true pain.... I heard that recently, your Donquixote Family has been developing by leaps and bounds, thanks to the support of the World Government?"
Doflamingo nodded tensely, "You're absolutely right..."
Yeruashi stood up from his chair and said, "As far as I know, your Whitebeard Family is engaged in arms trading and some other business in the shadow world, so I would like to ask you a favor..."
"Help me find one of Saijo O Wazamono's meito class... I don't think it will be too difficult for the Whitebeard Family."
After hearing these words, Doflamingo was finally able to relax a little and smiled brightly, "Fu-fu, that's it? no problem!"
Of course, it's not that easy to find one of the Saijo O Wazamono meito class, because there are only twelve of them in the whole world, and the Whitebeard Family has yet to become the biggest broker and arms dealer in the shadow world.
"Thank you."
Yeruashi nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, are you familiar with this realm?"
At that moment, Doflamingo had finally calmed down, "A little."
Yeruashi walked over to the sofa and patted Doflamingo's shoulder with a smile, "Ah, I just got here and I'm not familiar with the local sights, so I'll have to trouble you... spend a little time as a guide and tell us about the places worth visiting."
"No problem, you can leave it to me."
Being a rather strong personality, Doflamingo quickly came to his senses and responded calmly.
The SP-0 members watched intently, not saying a word.
Yeruashi looked at them and calmly said, "Is there a problem?"
"No no..."
The voice of the SP-0 member who spoke was shaking violently and his eyes were filled with fear.
Yeruashi's simple look made the SP-0 members feel as if they were sprayed from head to toe with cold water.
The Gorosei had long ago given them the order not to take any action against the Traveler in any case, and it was best to try to avoid any contact with him.
In any case, do not come into conflict with the Traveler!
That was Gorosei's order.
"What is your name?"
Yeruashi briefly examined the SP-0 members and fixed his gaze on a blonde with a curvaceous figure, dressed in a light red blouse with short sleeves.
Stussy flinched as she felt Yeruashi's gaze on her, and quickly replied, "Stussy..."
"Ah, I'm a bit impressed..."
Yeruashi thought for a moment and with a smile accidentally said, "You'll be my temporary guide too, walking alone with Doffy will be a bit strange."
"Ah..."
Stussy didn't dare to refuse, "Alright, no problem..."
Doflamingo hesitantly said, "This..."
"What?"
Yeruashi looked at him.
"Neither... Nothing... with SP-0, the ride will be much more comfortable..."
In fact, he wanted to ask his not to call him 'Doffy' anymore....
It sounded too strange and ridiculous, but after a bit of hesitation, he finally decided not to say anything.
No matter how stupid or ridiculous it sounds, he has no choice but to accept it and keep quiet....
