章 72: **Chapter 72: Doflamingo Will Become a Pawn**
Before Doflamingo became a Warlord of the Sea, he was already well-known to the Navy.
In the Navy, there was an old-school Vice Admiral who was particularly hostile toward Doflamingo.
That Vice Admiral was none other than Tsuru, who served in the same era as Garp.
Although she's a naval strategist, her status is anything but ordinary.
She holds significant influence within the Navy.
If the Dressrosa incident were to be reported to the Navy,
Tsuru would definitely lead a team to investigate.
At that point, Doflamingo would lose control of the situation.
"Having the Navy chase off a pirate? Not a bad idea."
"But didn't you say that Doflamingo's status is rather special?"
"Wouldn't the World Government be more lenient towards him?"
Kakashi curiously asked Reijin.
The identity of a Celestial Dragon!
Even a fallen Celestial Dragon still has countless ties to the World Government.
If you want to target him, you better know what you're up against.
"The World Government might tolerate Doflamingo's actions."
"But they won't tolerate a pirate blatantly seizing a kingdom."
"If this goes public, the World Government would be completely disgraced."
"So when the time comes, neither his Celestial Dragon status nor his Warlord title will protect him."
Reijin had some understanding of the World Government.
They always cover up the scandals of this world!
They even can't tolerate the idea of pirates becoming heroes.
When the time comes, Doflamingo will become a pawn discarded by the World Government.
"This is really complicated."
Kakashi nodded casually, still somewhat unclear about this world.
Kakashi couldn't analyze things to this level.
All he could do now was trust Reijin's judgment.
"Is this the Navy branch? I've discovered a conspiracy in Dressrosa. Our former king is being controlled."
Kakashi used a panicked tone to contact a nearby Navy branch.
After quickly explaining the situation in Dressrosa, he hung up immediately.
He felt there was no need to say more.
As long as the Navy believes him, they'll send someone to investigate.
If they don't, then no matter how much he says, it will just be taken as a joke.
"Hurry up and find King Riku. Have the Yamanaka clan invade the mind of one of his former subordinates."
"Get them to quickly draw a portrait. Isn't Hiashi Hyuga free? Have him search."
Reijin felt that everything was almost ready; now it was just a matter of finding King Riku.
Only by bringing King Riku forward can Doflamingo's crimes in this country be fully exposed.
Reijin himself has no chance of stepping forward; he's only a half-resident of Dressrosa now.
His unclear status would only invite suspicion if he tried to expose the truth.
"Got it. Anything else?"
Kakashi nodded and yawned, asking casually.
"That book of yours, *Icha Icha Paradise*, is probably worn out by now!"
"There's no *Icha Icha Paradise* in this world. Why do you still seem so tired?"
Reijin looked at Kakashi in confusion. Even daily activities and rituals had been canceled.
Why did Kakashi seem more and more worn out?
Can he really fight evenly with an opponent now?
Reijin was skeptical!
"Uh... well..."
Kakashi's face turned red, and he stammered as he spoke.
Under Reijin's gaze, he couldn't get a word out for a long time.
Even though this world doesn't have *Icha Icha Paradise*.
**But!**
Pirates run rampant.
There are no rules in this world.
Books like *Icha Icha Paradise*, which are not suitable for minors, are tame compared to some of the books here. The openness in these books has led to Kakashi's increased reading habits, gradually draining his energy in the process.
"Come with me."
Reijin glanced at the speechless Kakashi.
Kakashi is too young to let this destroy him.
What he needs now is a metaphorical chain around his neck.
But with so few friends, there's no chain strong enough to restrain Kakashi.
"Roar! Roar! Finish him off!"
"I bet on you to win, so get up and fight."
"Damn it, you useless fool, you made me lose fifty thousand Beli!"
In the center of the Corrida Colosseum, two gladiators were locked in fierce combat.
Each punch connected with flesh, causing blood to splatter.
Their eyes were bloodshot, driven by the need to be the last one standing.
In this place, only one person can leave alive.
To win, they must defeat their opponent.
Some of these gladiators once followed King Riku.
But Doflamingo promised them that if they could win a hundred consecutive battles, they would regain their freedom.
A year has passed, and not one person has managed to achieve this in the colosseum.
Little do they know, this was just another one of Doflamingo's lies.
Yet this lie is seen as a beacon of hope by those who still cling to a sliver of it.
They are forced to follow Doflamingo's rules, struggling in the arena.
Reijin and Kakashi found seats in the audience.
People around them cursed constantly, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the arena.
Many of them were regulars, habitual gamblers.
Reijin merely frowned slightly.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Kakashi looked around, noticing the chaos. This place was designed for emotional release and was one of the liveliest spots in Dressrosa.
It was even busier than the Lovers' Avenue.
Men particularly enjoyed the thrill of such scenes.
"Do you still remember your father's swordsmanship?" Reijin asked.
"Of course I do."
When Reijin mentioned his father, Kakashi's expression turned blank, and his mood calmed significantly.
Even now, he couldn't forget his father's legacy.
"Then prepare to step into the ring. Future battles won't just be quick ninja skirmishes."
"In this world, the strong can fight for three days and nights. With your stamina, lasting only three minutes would make you unfit for the challenges ahead."
"So, pick up that sword again! Sharpen your skills and strengthen your abilities!"
Reijin spoke calmly.
He intended to adjust those who came from the ninja world.
If they continued to fight as they did in the ninja world, their advantages here would be limited.
Ninjas are assassins, stealth fighters!
They can't endure prolonged battles!
Even their bodies are fragile compared to the fighters here.
Their focus will shift in the future; while ninjutsu will remain their main strength, they can't afford to neglect taijutsu.
"Seriously, I thought I could take it easy after coming here."
"You're always giving me more trouble!"
Kakashi scratched his white hair but didn't refuse Reijin's suggestion.
The system in this world is highly developed.
Kenbunshoku Haki is like the Byakugan, allowing one to perceive everything around them, including the opponent's movements.
Busoshoku Haki is comparable to the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Body Technique.
As for Haoshoku Haki, Kakashi still didn't know much about it.
But he understood that if they didn't adapt, their unique fighting style wouldn't give them much of an advantage.
"In the future, members of the Uchiha and Akimichi clans will come here as well."
"You should lead the Akimichi clan and help them adapt to this world."
Reijin patted Kakashi on the shoulder.
Kakashi was capable and strategic, performing well in many areas.
So, he didn't have to carry the main burden.
Shouldn't the leader carry the main burden?
That wouldn't make sense, would it?
