Quitting

"More than that, Zephyr's loathe of the seven warlords is far greater than we thought."

"Given the old guy's style, if he finds out where Dellinger and the others are, it will be hard for these two to get away."

"He might even take this opportunity to directly attack the entire Warlord system."

Doflamingo frowned slightly and said: "I see."

After speaking, he hung up the Den Den Mushi directly, looked at the two people still fighting on the screen, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up almost to his ears.

"Originally, I was thinking of letting Kaido's men deal with the White Knight Pirate, but I didn't expect the Marines to come to them first."

"Although I don't want to admit it, that old guy is a monster in both strength and wisdom!"

While speaking, the face of a calm and wise elderly woman appeared before Doflamingo.

Before he took on the title of Warlord, he had frequently dealt with Tsuru.

He never wanted to experience that feeling again in his life, where all his actions were considered fatal by the other party, and there was no room for maneuver.

If he hadn't had the blood of the Celestial Dragon flowing in his body, making it difficult for Tsuru to deal with him, he would have entered Impel Down decades ago.

"If Dellinger could cut off that guy's arm at this time, it would be even better."

Doflamingo's eyes returned to the arena, but his pupils slightly narrowed.

"But."

"It's good to be able to crush an annoying fly without exerting any effort."

… … …

"How is this possible?!"

On the screen, Dellinger, who had just been able to fight Gin on equal terms, was now completely suppressed.

Even one of the sharp horns on his head that he was so proud of was broken, and his body was covered in blood. He was at an absolute disadvantage.

On the other side, Gin responded to Dellinger's attack calmly.

His steps were swift, his breathing was not disordered, the Tonfa in his hands was unpredictable, and he combined offense and defense, suppressing Dellinger so much that he could not breathe.

In just a few seconds, the latter's body was covered with several purple marks, and even his steps were a little unsteady.

"Are you still not admitting defeat?!"

Gin said calmly.

After his potential was raised to Silver level, not only could his physique be further improved, but more importantly, it had an impact on his Haki training.

In two months, his Observation Haki improved greatly.

Weapons adjust to suit one's own physique and changes.

If he really let go completely, it would be like this, and Dellinger would no longer be his opponent.

"I don't believe it!"

Dellinger was covered in blood and had a broken leg, but the madness in his eyes did not diminish at all, and it even tended to get worse.

The original prey has become the hunter, and with the identities swapped, the embarrassed person has become Dellinger himself!

Dellinger could not bear such a result, no matter what. His heart was on the verge of collapse, and even his moves became more chaotic.

Dellinger roared, and the sharp back of his high-heeled shoe hit the Tonfa, but Gin held it firmly, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen…

"Ahhh!!"

Dellinger spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell down with his body twitching.

At this point, Gin no longer had much desire to fight. He turned to look at Jango, waiting for the latter to announce the result, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew up behind him.

Dellinger had already stood up again and rushed towards Gin like a madman, with a ferocious look on his face: "I have not-"

Gin turned around indifferently and smashed Dellinger's head hard with the Tonfa in his hand.

Bang!

At this moment, Dellinger even heard the sound of his bones breaking. His consciousness disappeared in the next moment, and he fell to Gin's feet.

There was silence for a moment.

No one expected that this duel, which they saw as a fateful one, would end in this way.

The two of them were evenly matched in their first fight, but the real gap between them is so huge?!

Someone in the audience swallowed unconsciously and recalled the situation at the beginning of the battle.

"If their fight had not been forcibly stopped at that time, what would have happened…"

"Perhaps at that time, Dellinger had already been… But Dellinger had won the bullfighting arena before!"

A man who had been to the bullfighting arena many times found it hard to believe that the scene before him was reality and not a dream.

The person sitting next to him saw it much more clearly than he did: "It's not that Dellinger is weak, but this guy named Gin… He hides too much!"

"That's right!"

"He didn't use his full strength from the beginning. After all, his opponent was just a kid that is twelve or thirteen years old!"

On stage, seeing that the battle had already come to an end, Jango announced the result: "The winner of the first match of the Martial Arts Tournament semi-finals:"

"Gin!"

As the sound fell to the ground, there was a thunderous cheer from the audience, supporting Gin's presence and cheering for their favorite contestants to advance.

Because some had already bet everything on Dellinger in the peripheral gambling.

There are also people with faces full of frustration and even despair.

They thought they would become rich overnight, but they lost everything.

"God, please tell me, this is a nightmare!"

"My estate, my ship, and my slaves… Everything I own is…"

Puff!

A spectator spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell down, alarming the surrounding spectators, who began to scream.

Soon, the doctor who was resident in the venue carried him down and performed first aid measures. Such scenes happened frequently in the audience seats and even in the surrounding areas.

The desperate gambler puts everything they have on the line, only to lose it all in the end.

Dressrosa.

Doflamingo looked at the scene of Dellinger's defeat with his cheeks puffed up.

His eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

Doflamingo grabbed the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp before he managed to calm down.

"White Knight Pirate… I am waiting for the day when you will be destroyed!"

"It won't be long!"

After speaking, he grabbed the Den Den Mushi from the table.

On the other side, Senor Pink was treating the wound on Dellinger's body. 

After seeing that Dellinger's life was not in danger, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and then the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.

After a few minutes, Senor Pink looked at the seriously injured Dellinger in front of him, and although he was a little unwilling, he still asked to withdraw from the Martial Arts Tournament.

The difference between leaving the Devil Fruit and the bonus in the hands of Kuro and others and leaving it in Raven Harbor is not much different.

Although Jasmine was a little puzzled, she still agreed to his request.

After all, she also had her own selfish motives.

She turned around and announced to the audience that Senor Pink had withdrawn from the competition.

The audience couldn't help but laugh at him, thinking Senor Pink was a coward.

Senor Pink listened to those contemptuous voices and felt a burning anger in his heart, but he finally left with Dellinger.

The farces were over quickly.

The battle between Sanji and Ideo, the second semi-final on the field, has already begun.

At the other end, Gawain sat in the highest office in Raven Harbor, watching the battle unfolding on the battlefield below. But the next second, the office door was pushed open.

Squeak!

Johnny and Yosaku walked in hurriedly, their faces looking extremely solemn: "Captain."

"We have received reports from our brothers guarding the stronghold on Pala Island that several warships are heading towards Raven Harbor at full speed."

"The leader is an old man equipped with a huge mechanical arm. He has a fierce aura. Behind him are Smoker and two marine officers."

"I'm afraid they are coming for us."

"What to do?!"

"Mechanical arm…"

In Gawain's mind, an old man's face instantly appeared, and he had guessed the man's identity.

"Zephyr?!"

"I see. Tell me the estimated route, and I'll take a look."

The two of them were stunned: "Are you going alone?!"

"Too many people are just a burden to me."

"Understood!"
