Chapter 116: The Warlords Assemble

The next day, Crescent Bay.

A warship slowly approached, and a man wearing a flamingo coat and sunglasses walked down with a gait that didn't recognize his own kin.

Although one couldn't see his eyes, one could tell from his flexible tongue that the man was in a good mood.

"Fufufufu... so this is Navy Headquarters! It doesn't look like much!"

Vice Admiral Hiba, responsible for escorting Doflamingo, retorted indifferently: "Doflamingo, you should be thankful you became a Warlord of the Sea, otherwise the place you should be is Impel Down!"

This was not wrong; before Doflamingo became a Warlord, the one responsible for chasing him was Staff Officer Tsuru, the woman who had once forced the Donquixote Family into a desperate situation.

If Doflamingo hadn't used the Heavenly Tribute to force the World Government to make him a Warlord, he might have really been sent to Impel Down by Staff Officer Tsuru.

Doflamingo couldn't help but think of Staff Officer Tsuru, who had pursued him relentlessly, snorted coldly, and swaggered toward Navy Headquarters.

Outside the VIP suite, Karl, who had rested alone at home for the night, was preparing to visit Hancock when he unexpectedly bumped into Vice Admiral Hiba walking toward him.

"Morning, Vice Admiral Hiba."

Hiba looked at Karl with a smile and said: "You're quite efficient, kid! You even managed to handle the most difficult one to invite!"

Karl smiled without speaking. As things stood now, it was hard to say who had handled whom.

"Fufufufu~ Isn't this the world's most handsome man, Karl! Truly rare to see, he really does have the look of a pretty boy."

Hiba turned his head to look at Doflamingo behind him, a dangerous look flashing in his eyes: "Doflamingo, don't be too arrogant; this is Navy Headquarters!"

"Sigh~ Vice Admiral Hiba, don't say that. Look at him, wearing sunglasses every day, afraid to show his full face. It's normal to be jealous of my appearance."

"I've long since gotten used to it!"

Hiba patted Karl on the shoulder and laughed: "You kid!"

Doflamingo's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. He walked up to Karl and looked down at him: "Fufufu~ Truly a mouth that can talk..." After saying this, he walked straight toward his own VIP suite.

"Karl, don't pay him any mind. By the way, I have to go report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'll be going now!"

"Yes, Vice Admiral Hiba, take care!"

Watching Doflamingo's departing back, Karl gradually fell into deep thought. Doflamingo seemed to know him very well!

Could it be that the habit of reading the newspaper diligently had been formed long ago?

Inside the VIP suite.

"Hancock, this is the breakfast I brought for you. Come and eat! By the way, there's some for Salome too."

"Thank you, my dear, you are so kind!"

Karl hugged Hancock and kissed her, smiling: "Silly, if I'm not kind to you, who should I be kind to?"

"By the way, I might not be able to keep you company in the room today!"

Hancock immediately grew anxious and hurriedly asked: "What? Why?"

Karl then told Hancock about the fact that all the Warlords were about to arrive. After comforting her well, he finally settled her down and walked out of the VIP suite to Crescent Bay.

Perhaps because word had spread that many Warlords would be coming today, there were quite a few people watching the excitement.

For example, a certain man who wanted to trick Karl into a meal but ended up tricking himself. We won't say who that is. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
