«...»
There was silence in the room.
The Gorosei on the other side were also silent.
After a few seconds of silence, Den Den Mushi made a click, and then slowly closed his eyes and let go of his head, as if he had fallen into a dream.
On the opposite side, they just hung up the phone.
After the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa, all units of the World Government were temporarily organized in the Enies Lobby in the first half of the Grand Line.
In an office on the top floor of the central building of the Enies Lobby, one of the Gorosei reached out and turned off Den Den Mushi.
The other four were also silent.
"Doflamingo met him..."
"What's next?"
"We will have to abandon Doflamingo and switch to Rocinante, in no case should we offend...him..."
It was quite a long time before one of the Gorosei spoke.
His voice was very weak and quiet, and a gloomy and gloomy 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 trembling violently, and the same frightening picture was replaying 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 wouldn't make them fear Yeruashi to the point that they wouldn't even dare to speak to him through Den Den Mushi.
The words echoed in their heads, and the expression on Ima's face after the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa was reflected.
"He's..."
"Not a person..."
"I saw only destruction and death..."
These words rang 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 different from any people in the vastness of this sea!
Maybe he is a god, but maybe...a demon from the very depths of hell!
...
On the other hand.
In one of the rooms of the big ship of the World Government.
Whether it was Doflamingo, Diamante, or SP-0, they all froze in place, and drops of cold sweat ran down their foreheads.
Everyone present silently looked at Yeruashi, who was sitting relaxed in a chair with a newspaper in his hands.
"I don't think you're eager to go back to this rotting garbage."
Yeruashi slowly turned a couple of pages, put down the newspaper and looked at Doflamingo with a grin.
Doflamingo's face was extremely tense, and his voice trembled: "... co...of course...how is this possible."
"I was just about to refuse them..."
Despite the words spoken, in fact, Doflamingo really wanted to return and restore his status as a Heavenly Dragon.
Is there anything wrong with that for him? Especially when the vast majority of the Heavenly Dragons are killed.
If he returned under such circumstances, he would immediately be able to occupy one of the highest positions in the World Government.
His status would most likely be close to Gorosei, even taking their 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 killing 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 Heavenly Dragon, Doflamingo knew some of the secrets of the Heavenly Dragons, including their ultimate means, but even considering them, the World Government was still powerless in the face of the Traveler!
People on the expanses of the sea are of the opinion that a Traveler bearing the title of "Closest to God" should be strong enough to stand on the absolute top of the sea, perhaps even comparable to Belous.
But Doflamingo is well aware that this opinion is fundamentally wrong.
The horror of the Traveler far surpasses someone like Belous!
The person who destroyed the Holy Land of Marijoa, of course, will not worry about killing a couple more surviving Heavenly Dragons.
If you make the Traveler even a little angry, he can be immediately buried right in this room!
The members of SP-0 who were here, like Doflamingo, were well aware that the horror of the Traveler far surpasses someone like the Pirates of the Beast or even the Pirates of Belous!
"That's just fine."
Yeruashi nodded in satisfaction: "You are different from the rest of the Heavenly Dragons because you have experienced and known true pain...I heard that recently, your Quixote Family has been developing by leaps and bounds, thanks to the support of the World Government?"
Doflamingo nodded tensely: "You're absolutely right..."
Yeruashi got up from his chair and said, " As far as I know, your Quixote Family is engaged in the arms trade and some other business in the shadow world, so I would like to ask for a favor..."
"Help me find one of the meito class of Saijo O Wazamono (12)...I don't think it will be too difficult for the Quixote Family."
After hearing these words, Doflamingo was finally able to relax a little and smiled tightly: "Fu-fu, is that all? No problem!"
Of course, it is not so easy to find one of the meito class Saijo O Wazamono, because there are only twelve of them in the whole world, and the Quixote Family has not yet become the largest broker and arms dealer of the shadow world.
"Thank you."
Yeruashi nodded in satisfaction, " By the way, are you familiar with this kingdom?"
By this time, Doflamingo had finally calmed down: "A little familiar."
Yeruashi sauntered over to the sofa and patted Doflamingo on the shoulder with a smile: "Ah, I just arrived here and am not familiar with the local sights, so I will have to bother you...spend a little time as a guide and tell us about the places that are worth visiting."
"No problem, you can leave it to me."
Being quite a strong personality, Doflamingo very quickly came to his senses and calmly replied.
The members of SP-0 watched intently, without saying a word.
Yeruashi looked at them and said calmly: "Is there a problem?"
"No...no..."
The voice of the SP-0 member who spoke was trembling violently, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The simple look of Yeruashi made the members of SP-0 feel as if they were doused from head to toe with cold water.
The Gorosei had long ago given them an order not to take any actions against the Traveler in any case, and it is better to try to avoid any contact with him at all.
In any case, do not come into conflict with the Traveler!
That was Gorosei's order.
"What's your name?"
Yeruashi briefly examined the members of SP-0 and held his gaze on a blonde with a curvy figure, dressed in a light red blouse with short sleeves.
Stussi shuddered, feeling Yeruashi's gaze on her, and quickly answered: "Stussi..."
"Ah, I'm a little impressed..."
Yeruashi thought for a moment and with a smile accidentally said: "You will also be my temporary guide, walking only with Doffy will be a little strange."
"Ah..."
Stussi did not dare to refuse: "Okay, no problem..."
Doflamingo hesitantly said, " This is..."
"What?"
Yeruashi looked at him.
"Neither...nothing...with SP-0, the tour will be much more comfortable..."
In fact, he wanted to ask me not to call him 'Doffy' anymore...
It sounded too strange and ridiculous, but after a little 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...
