Chapter 196 The Pirate Empress Wants to Set Sail and Follow Luo Ji?
New World Dressrosa: King's Heights.
"Fooooo! Dead! Really dead!"
"You old codger! You're really dead!"
Doflamingo jumped excitedly onto the table, arms outstretched, a newspaper in his right hand, laughing maniacally.
After killing an ordinary Celestial Dragon, Luo Ji killed a God Knight, and now he has killed a high-ranking member of the Five Elders.
This made Doflamingo extremely excited.
This was something he had never even dared to dream of before, but now Luo Ji had actually done it.
"You bastards, one day you will all be dragged down from your pedestals and experience the darkness and despair of the world just like me!!"
Doflamingo gritted his teeth and grinned.
He will never forget that dark experience in Beihai, nor will he forget the mocking smiles of those bastards who refused to let him return to the holy land.
"The Luo Ji World Group has now become a true monster; we absolutely must not provoke them!"
After his maniacal laughter subsided, Doflamingo began to reconsider the Donquixote Family's current strained relationship with the Luo Ji World Pirates.
With Violet and Rebecca posing potential threats, it will be difficult for them to reach a cooperation agreement with the Luo Ji World Group.
Even if we were to connect with the Beasts Pirates now, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
Will the Luo Ji World Crew give the Beasts Pirates any face?
However, a few hours later, a phone call from Queen the Plague gave Doflamingo a glimmer of hope.
Queen the Plague is looking for Luo Ji's Den Den Mushi number, and Kaido of the Beasts actually wants to negotiate with Luo Ji.
Doflamingo knew that Yamato was Kaido's daughter, based on Queen's boasting.
But Kaido acknowledges that Luo Ji is his 'son-in-law'?
This news surprised Doflamingo a bit.
When did the domineering Kaido of the Beasts start actively trying to build relationships?
However, Doflamingo couldn't care less about any of that.
He will do everything in his power to promote cooperation between the Luo Ji World Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.
That would give him a chance to survive the covetousness of the Luo Ji World Group.
At worst, he could just give Dressrosa back to Violet and her two women, and the Riku clan.
It's just territory; we can just grab another one!
Anyway, with Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit ability, transforming a new island wouldn't be a difficult task.
It has the Sugar-based Fun Fruit ability, free toy workers, and everything else you could want.
Moreover, with Caesar's artificial Devil Fruit project, there's no fear of not making money!
Doflamingo quickly gave Luo Ji's contact information to Plague Queen.
"Quinn, I have a slight disagreement with the Luo Ji World Group. I hope that after Governor Kaido and Luo Ji reach an agreement, I can put in a good word for them."
We are willing to offer more artificial Devil Fruits to the Beasts Pirates, and also to offer sufficient compensation to the Luo Ji World Crew.
If the Beasts Pirates have any requests, we will do our utmost to facilitate cooperation between Governor Kaido and Law.
Doflamingo humbled himself, essentially giving away most of his profits to the Beasts Pirates and the Luo Ji World Pirates.
I just want to survive in this narrow space.
Doflamingo hasn't seen those Celestial Dragons brought down from their pedestals yet, and he certainly doesn't want to be easily eliminated by the Luo Ji World Group.
"You're quite sensible!"
Queen, the Plague Queen, hadn't expected to have extra income. It seems that there's no harm in Kaido and Law making peace.
At least they don't have to worry about the Whitebeard Pirates joining forces with the Luo Ji World Pirates to invade their Onigashima.
After a detailed discussion between Queen and Doflamingo, both parties closed the Den Den Mushi with satisfaction.

Nine Snake Island - The Palace of the Women's Kingdom
Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, cried the first time she saw a newspaper.
That man actually killed the world's highest authority, the highest-ranking Celestial Dragon.
Hancock could hardly believe the news.
It felt as if a mountain had been lifted from her heart.
It turns out those Celestial Dragons really weren't gods.
They will be killed too.
Just like normal Celestial Dragons, the Knights of God are the same, and even the Five Elders, who hold the highest authority in the world, are the same.
Seeing their elder sister cry, her two younger sisters, Sandasonia and Marigold, also began to sob.
No one knows why they are crying.
Perhaps it was the death of one of the Five Elders that dispelled many of the shadows in their hearts.
This is a cry of joy.
Meanwhile, Granny Gloria, seeing Hancock's unusual reaction, felt increasingly uneasy.
These symptoms and signs are strikingly similar to her back then, to Shakky back then, to Tori Tomah back then.
孽 孽!
Could it be that all the female emperors of their Women's Kingdom were truly unable to escape this curse of love and the incurable disease of lovesickness?
However, this god-slayer Luo Ji is truly insane!
They actually joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to invade an island under the World Government's control and killed one of the Five Elders.
This is something even the Rocks Pirates couldn't do.
"I wonder when Lord Luo Ji will invade Nine-Eyed Snake Island. I can't wait..."
Boa Hancock, clutching the newspaper and the latest bounty poster, suddenly blushed and murmured to herself.
"I heard you, I heard you! You actually expect a Fifth Emperor to invade our Women's Kingdom? Are you out of your mind, Hancock?!"
Gloria looked at Hancock, who was infatuated with him, as if she were an idiot, and screamed in frustration.
This situation is even more serious than her condition back then!
Back then, she simply abandoned her positions as Queen of the Amazon Lily and captain of the Kuja Pirates, and went to sea to join the Rocks Pirates.
As a result, Hancock has now become so desperate that she is hoping for an enemy to attack her country.
This is absolutely outrageous.
"Even if I were to offer the entire Kingdom of Women to Lord Luo Ji, I would be willing."
"I am so beautiful, the people will surely forgive me."
Boa Hancock ignored Gloriosa's shouts and remained immersed in her own fantasy world.
"It's hopeless, it's hopeless. I'd rather you go out to sea and follow him than bring Luo Ji and those men in here."
Gloria started cursing, saying that even without Boa Hancock, they could still choose a new queen.
If Hancock were to open Amazon Lily to the Luo Ji World Group, the traditions of Amazon Lily would be overturned, and the kingdom would cease to exist.
"You're too noisy."
The Pirate Empress, lost in her daydream, was jolted awake by Gloriosa's scolding. Enraged, she grabbed the old woman and kicked her away.
"However, there is one merit to your suggestion."
Boa Hancock regained some clarity and began to consider the future of her people.
In order not to implicate the Women's Kingdom, going to sea to follow Master Luo Ji seems like a good option.
However, her status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea caused her some trouble.
It's unclear whether the World Government will retaliate against her in Amazon Lily for abandoning her status as a Shichibukai.
There is currently no strong person in the Women's Kingdom who can replace her. Her two younger sisters are only moderately strong and are not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Nine-Eyed Snake Island.
So annoying!
That wretched World Government and Navy Headquarters have gotten her into such a mess.
I really want to join forces with Lord Luo Ji to wreak havoc on the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, and see if they still dare to threaten others!
