Of course... the premise is that it aligns with his own... interests and... plans.
His gaze (his inner eye) fell upon the enormous palace in the distance, a symbol of royalty and rule.
The real show seems to have only just begun.
Upon arriving in Dressrosa, Admiral Fujitora did not immediately launch a large-scale investigation.
He knew that Doflamingo, the king of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had deep roots and a complex network of influence in this land. Taking rash action would only alert Doflamingo and might even backfire.
Fujitora chose to remain still, first dispatching his intelligence personnel to gather various information about Dressrosa, especially about the Donquixote Family's operating model, underground trading network, and... the movements of those "uninvited guests" who recently arrived here.
Soon, a crucial piece of intelligence reached Fujitora: Trafalgar Law and Straw Hat Luffy's pirate alliance seemed to have... not directly entered the Dressrosa Kingdom, but instead headed to another island located to the north of the kingdom, connected by a massive iron bridge—Greenbite!
Intelligence suggests that Law seems to be planning to use Caesar Clown, whom they captured, as leverage in Green Bit to make some kind of... crucial "deal" or "handover" with Doflamingo!
This intelligence immediately caught Fujitora's attention! Law's contact with Doflamingo is undoubtedly a key link in unraveling the secrets of Dressrosa! Moreover, Straw Hat Luffy might also appear there! This is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity... to eliminate all these unstable factors in one fell swoop!
"Keep calm and focused."
Fujitora summoned Kai to his temporary command room and handed him this intelligence.
“Green Bit... Law’s deal with Doflamingo…” Kai listened silently, immediately understanding Fujitora’s intentions.
"I intend to personally lead an elite team to Greenbite to investigate."
"Fujitora said slowly, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable determination, "General Shizuka, would you be willing to accompany me?"
This is less of an inquiry and more of an order.
Kai knew that Fujitora-senpai (or rather, Fujitora Admiral) needed his powerful Observation Haki to deal with the unknown dangers that Green Bit might pose, as well as... the possibility of top-tier fighters like Law, Doflamingo, or even Straw Hat Luffy appearing.
"Your subordinate obeys."
"Kay responded immediately without any hesitation."
He was also very interested in the "good show" that was about to take place in Greenbit.
Soon, a special operations team led by Admiral Fujitora, accompanied by Vice Admiral Kai, and consisting of dozens of the Navy Headquarters' most elite special operations personnel, quietly left the port of Dressrosa aboard a small high-speed assault boat, speeding towards Greenbit, an island filled with primitive atmosphere and unknown dangers!
To reach Greenbite, one must cross a massive, dilapidated, and seemingly extremely dangerous old iron bridge connecting Dressrosa and Greenbite.
As the naval assault boat approached the iron bridge, Kaina's keen senses immediately detected an unusually fierce and violent aura emanating from beneath the water!
"Your Excellency, there's something underwater!" Kai immediately warned.
Almost the instant his words fell!
Crash-! ! !
The calm sea was suddenly shattered! Several... gigantic, ferocious creatures, covered in sharp teeth and resembling prehistoric fish, leaped out of the water! Their target was... the massive iron bridge connecting the two islands! And... the naval assault boats attempting to cross the bridge!
"They're fighting fish!" The experienced naval soldier immediately recognized the ferocious creatures. "They're extremely vicious fighting fish, unique to the waters near Dressrosa! They'll attack any ship or creature attempting to cross the iron bridge!"
These fighting fish were not only enormous and incredibly strong, but also extremely ferocious! They charged towards the naval assault boats like arrows released from a bow! Their gaping maws revealed sharp teeth that gleamed with a chilling light!
The special forces soldiers immediately raised their weapons, ready to engage!
However, Fujitora... merely raised his eyelids slightly.
"Noisy.
"
He said lightly.
then……
An invisible yet terrifying gravity, as heavy as a mountain, descended instantly!
The enormous fighting fish, which had been poised to pounce on the assault boat with overwhelming force, seemed to be held down by an unseen giant hand! Their bodies suddenly sank! Then… like stones stripped of all strength, they plummeted straight back into the sea with a thud! Creating huge waves! They didn't even have the strength to struggle! They were directly suppressed to the seabed by that terrifying gravity! Unable to move!
In a mere instant! Without even a single unnecessary movement! Admiral Fujitora effortlessly and completely suppressed these ferocious fighting fish, enough to give even ordinary naval fleets a headache!
Is this... the strength of a Marine Admiral?! Kai's heart was once again filled with shock! Fujitora-senpai's Gravity Fruit ability, its exquisite use and terrifying power, is simply... impossible to defend against! Completely at will!
The assault boat successfully crossed the iron bridge and arrived at the shore of Greenbite.
Upon setting foot on the island, Kai immediately sensed an atmosphere that was completely different from Dressrosa, filled with a primitive, lush, and... strange life force.
Huge, strangely shaped plants blocked out the sky, forming an incredibly dense primeval forest.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth and the fragrance of various exotic plants.
Deep in the forest, the occasional low growl or strange cry of an unknown wild beast could be heard.
But what Kai was even more concerned about was... two extremely powerful energy fluctuations that were colliding fiercely, hidden deep within this dense forest!
A chilling aura, filled with calm, eeriness, and a sharp, spatial-splitting quality! It was Trafalgar Law!
The other force, however, is filled with evil, madness, and a manipulative desire that seeps into every nook and cranny like a spider's web! It is Donquixote Doflamingo!
The two of them... have indeed clashed here! Moreover, the battle seems to have entered a fierce stage!
"It seems we've arrived...not too late."
Fujitora's voice also carried a hint of solemnity.
Besides these two powerful auras, Kai also keenly sensed... that deeper within this forest, there seemed to be... countless... extremely tiny, yet full of vitality and some kind of... peculiar "fairy-like" aura... beings... !
The number of those auras was enormous, densely packed, like a hidden underground... miniature world?!
The Tontatta tribe! The name flashed through Kai's mind—a name only found in ancient legends or top-secret intelligence! A mysterious race of tiny people, said to possess immense strength, incredible speed, and expertise in agriculture and combat! They... also live on this Greenbit Island?!
Chapter 116 A single command! A million Marines unleash their power on Nami and Robin!
This discovery further fueled Kai's interest in the island.
It seems that more secrets are hidden here than he imagined.
Fujitora clearly sensed all of this as well.
Instead of heading immediately to the battlefield between Law and Doflamingo, he first signaled Kai to come with him and quietly approach the vicinity of the hidden Lilliputian kingdom.
They "saw" (sense) those tiny, thumb-sized, yet incredibly agile and strong figures (the Tontata tribe) who seemed to be... communicating with a human whose aura was somewhat familiar.
It's... Usopp?! (Kai had sensed earlier that Usopp wasn't traveling with Zoro, Sanji, and the others.) That long-nosed guy... he wasn't with the main group, but instead came to this Lilliputian kingdom?! And... he even claims to be... something... the hero who saved Lilliput, "Usopp"?! And he's being worshipped by the little people?!
Kai is simply... speechless.
This guy... really... he can use his "talent" for "bragging" and "deceiving" wherever he goes...
However, Kai also sensed that these Tontatta tribe little people, though innocent and naive, possessed considerable power within them! Moreover, they seemed to... harbor a deep-seated hatred for the Doflamingo family! Were they planning some kind of... rebellion?
It seems the situation in Dressrosa is more complicated than imagined.
Even these hidden little people were drawn into it.
Fujitora seemed to know something about the Tontatta tribe's situation. He didn't disturb them, but silently observed (sensed) for a moment before signaling Kai to go together to... the battlefield between Law and Doflamingo!
The real show is about to begin!
When Fujitora and Kai led the elite Marines, appearing like divine warriors at the scene of Law's fierce battle with Doflamingo, the two who were locked in a close fight involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked warily at these uninvited guests.
The battlefield was now a scene of utter devastation.
The ground was covered with huge gaps that had been cut open and traces of being torn apart by tangled threads.
Law looked rather disheveled, with obvious injuries on his body and some shortness of breath, clearly having suffered a considerable loss in his battle with Doflamingo.
Doflamingo, though still appearing calm and composed with his signature wicked smile, was subtly disturbed by a slight ripple in his aura, which Kai could sense.
Clearly, Law's Op-Op Fruit ability has also caused him some trouble.
"Fufufu... It's so lively."
"Doflamingo spoke first, his gaze sweeping over Fujitora's admiral's cloak and Kai's conspicuous vice admiral uniform, a hint of amusement and... wariness flashing in his eyes, "A Marine admiral and a vice admiral, appearing in this desolate wilderness at the same time? Truly... rare guests."
"
Fujitora ignored Doflamingo's sarcastic remarks.
He simply turned his gaze (sensory perception) to the unsteady Trafalgar Law, and spoke in an unquestionable, authoritative tone befitting a Marine Admiral: "Trafalgar Law! You, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea (though you may have been removed from the list, the Navy has not officially announced it), have allied with pirates (Straw Hat Luffy) and committed numerous crimes on Punk Hazard (kidnapping Caesar, etc.)! Now, in the name of a Marine Admiral, I hereby formally arrest you!"
Fujitora immediately stated the Navy's position, targeting Trafalgar Law!
Law's face instantly turned extremely ugly! He hadn't expected the Navy to come knocking so quickly! And with such a formidable lineup of Admirals and Vice Admirals! He knew that, in his current state, he was no match for Fujitora and Kai combined!
Meanwhile, Doflamingo, standing to the side, had a fleeting glint of smugness and cunning in his eyes.
The Navy is targeting Law? This is a golden opportunity for him! He can use the Navy to eliminate this treacherous and treacherous threat who betrayed him!
He immediately adopted the posture of a "victim" and "cooperator," saying to Fujitora, "Fufufu... Admiral Fujitora is truly insightful! This Law is indeed a treacherous villain! He not only betrayed me but also kidnapped Caesar, attempting to sabotage my good cooperative relationship with the World Government (he downplayed his dealings with Caesar)! I was just about to personally clean house! Since the Navy is willing to do it for me, that's perfect!"
With his silver tongue and flattery, he shifted all the blame onto Law in just a few words, portraying himself as a "good" Shichibukai who followed the rules and cooperated with the Navy.
Kai observed coldly from the sidelines (perceiving the situation).
He clearly discerned the hypocrisy and deeply hidden malice in Doflamingo's words! This guy... truly is a master of deception! His ability to distort the truth is simply superb!
Fujitora... didn't seem to completely believe Doflamingo's nonsense either.
Kai could sense that Fujitora's perception was always partially locked onto Doflamingo, maintaining a high level of vigilance.
But... Fujitora seems to have... tacitly accepted Doflamingo's explanation?
He did not investigate Doflamingo's role in the Punk Hazard incident, nor did he question the veracity of his words.
Instead... they actually set their main target on Trafalgar Law!
