"Trafalgar Law, if you hand over the improved version of the Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit formula to me, I'll take care of Doflamingo's head for you. Besides, I can promise you one request, whatever you want, just name it. Kaido keeps his word!"
As Kaido's words fell, the entire world erupted in astonishment.
What is a plastic ally? This is a plastic ally.
When Big Mom mentioned trading with Law to get Doflamingo's head, people weren't too surprised. After all, that was reasonable. Big Mom saw Whitebeard obtain the Ope Ope no Mi, and since she was from the same era as Whitebeard, it was natural for her to want it too.
Doflamingo had nothing to do with her, so exchanging his head for the Ope Ope no Mi was a fair deal.
However, Kaido was different. He was Doflamingo's ally, both in public and secretly. One could say that the government was Doflamingo's ally openly, and Kaido was his ally behind the scenes.
Thus, Doflamingo had influence in both the underworld and the legitimate world, a rare feat in the entire world.
If there was anyone else, it could only be Red-Haired Shanks. He was the one who consumed the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, a man who had face in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Even the Five Elders and the Four Emperors had to give him face.
However, what people didn't expect was that Kaido, Doflamingo's other backer, would so easily sell him out for the formula of an improved Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit.
This... this... this kind of move left people worldwide dumbfounded, followed by resounding applause.
What is a pirate? This is a pirate. Kaido and Doflamingo, these two plastic brothers, just gave everyone a lesson.
Among pirates, there is no friendship, only interests. As long as there are interests, even brothers will kill each other.
At this moment, people suddenly recalled Caesar Clown, who claimed to have Doflamingo's backing to stand up to Luffy, but now, it turned out that Kaido, his supposed supporter, was unreliable, while Luffy's background was rock-solid. His was a real family, with a grandfather, a father, a godfather, and brothers. His plastic brothers were no match for that.
Caesar had picked the wrong person to compare backgrounds with.
Thinking of this, many people burst into laughter. Caesar actually compared backgrounds with Luffy; wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Meanwhile, Doflamingo's face turned as green as eating shit; he was extremely embarrassed.
He had just thought of asking Kaido to back him up, but Kaido sold him out instantly.
All for the formula of an improved Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit!
The elegant and high-spirited image that Doflamingo had always maintained had now completely collapsed. He wanted to curse Kaido out loud as he stared at the screen, but in the end, he couldn't find anything to curse about. He and Kaido were only connected by interests, upheld by the SMILE fruits.
With Law offering a better improved formula for Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, Doflamingo's value was naturally lost.
Kaido's sudden betrayal left Doflamingo feeling disgusted, like he had eaten a fly.
But he couldn't pick a fight with Kaido because Kaido was stronger. The initiative in this world always belonged to the strong, and the weak were destined to be used, discarded, and exchanged.
Just like now, Kaido, Big Mom, and Luffy all wanted to obtain what they wanted from him.
As a Celestial Dragon, a former Warlord of the Sea, and a ruler of Dressrosa, he now felt like a piece of meat placed on a chopping board, waiting for Law to come and pick him up.
As long as the price was negotiated, his head would belong to Law.
This feeling was the biggest humiliation Doflamingo had ever experienced.
Doflamingo's entire being was almost exploding with rage.
But what made him even more furious was that if Law accepted their deal, it meant that he would face attacks from two Yonko.
He could just stop waiting and go straight to his death.
Even with the support of the Five Elders, they wouldn't go against two Yonko just for Doflamingo.
It seemed he was done for.
This development was unexpected for everyone.
People found that the Doflamingo they once hated and wanted to kill had now become like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of a judge.
It turned out that in front of even stronger people, Doflamingo was nothing but an ant. This made people feel very helpless, as there were too many villains in this world.
Even Caesar, who was preparing to escape and seek refuge with Doflamingo, was dumbfounded.
"No way?!"
He was still planning to go to Dressrosa to seek protection from Doflamingo?!
And now you're telling him that Doflamingo is finished?
And that the one trying to take him down is Kaido, who he thought was Doflamingo's backer?!
What the hell is going on? How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Caesar stood frozen in place, feeling bewildered. Should he still go to Doflamingo, or should he try to find another way out?
He shouldn't wait until he runs all the way to Dressrosa only to end up in a dangerous situation.
Moreover, he had also offended Big Mom, who was also looking to get Doflamingo's head in exchange for the Life Return drug. He might encounter her in Dressrosa too.
If he fell into Big Mom's hands, he'd be done for.
Caesar was caught in hesitation, standing in Punk Hazard. His main backer was going to be taken down by Kaido, so what should he do now? Waiting online, urgently!
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates were also somewhat stunned.
They had never expected things to develop this way.
Upon hearing that Big Mom and Kaido wanted to trade with Law to get Doflamingo's head in exchange for the Life Return drug and the improved formula for the Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit, the Straw Hat Pirates were initially quite happy, as it would mean these pirate rivals would end up killing each other, which would save the Marines from unnecessary casualties.
But if Law actually accepted Kaido and Big Mom's deal, it would be a big problem.
Because a rejuvenated Whitebeard had returned to the New World.
The pirate strength in the New World had increased significantly, and the Whitebeard Pirates were now several times stronger than before, gaining overwhelming momentum.
If Big Mom also obtained the Life Return drug, gaining five to ten years of life, it would mean that the New World would have another Four Emperors in their prime, ruling the sea for another fifty years.
This would be bad news for the New World, and even the entire world, even a nightmare.
It was easy to imagine that the Big Mom Pirates would also experience a surge in power. In this scenario, the strength of the New World pirates would increase further, and the balance between the Marines and the pirates would be in question.
Especially since the Marines were currently on a downward trend, this situation would be even more dangerous.
Not only Big Mom, but Kaido also had his ambitions to create a Zoan-type army.
Based on the intelligence they had, Kaido's progress in creating Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits wasn't very fast due to the drawbacks of the process. The Straw Hat Pirates weren't too concerned about this because they were not researching Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits like Caesar's scientific team in the Marines.
However, if Kaido could mass-produce Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits without side effects and higher success rates, the Beast Pirates' strength would rapidly increase.
The strength of three Four Emperors' crews would have skyrocketed, while the Marines would continue to decline, inevitably breaking the balance between the Marines and the Four Emperors.
The world would likely be plunged into a massive catastrophe.
Considering this, the Straw Hat Pirates could only hope that Law would reject Kaido and Big Mom's trade, or else the world would face a huge mess!
The Straw Hat Pirates' eyes were locked onto Law on the screen. They desperately hoped he wouldn't make a deal with the devils just for revenge. Law's benefactor, Rosinante, would never want to see him do such a thing!
