Chapter 320: Heavenly Yaksha's Sequential Death Trap!

Inside the spacious and bright dining room of the thousand sunny, the originally relaxed and pleasant breakfast atmosphere was suddenly shattered by a loud bang.

"Slam!"

Nami, looking flustered, slammed the newspaper that had just been delivered by a News Coo heavily onto the long dining table.

On the massive front-page headline, a close-up photo of "Heavenly Yaksha" Doflamingo laughing wildly and arrogantly while wearing his red flamingo sunglasses occupied almost the entire prominent space.

The bold black headline was shocking; he had publicly declared a decision to the world that was enough to trigger a massive tsunami in the sea:

Effective immediately, Doflamingo officially resigned from his privileges as one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and voluntarily abdicated the throne of Dressrosa!

If that alone was enough to shock people, the content that followed caused the entire world to break into a complete uproar.

In his statement, Doflamingo actually high-profiledly revealed his long-shrouded identity as a "former Celestial Dragon" to the entire world!

"How is this possible..."

Law stared fixedly at the newspaper on the table, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

His expression instantly turned incredibly ugly. Clenching his fists tightly, he growled through gritted teeth:

"That unreasonable lunatic Doflamingo... he actually took the initiative to break through this layer of taboo identity himself!

"What on earth is he trying to do?! This approach doesn't fit his usual calculations at all!"

Seeing Law's look of facing a great enemy and being extremely nervous, Luffy, who was sitting opposite him chewing heartlessly, cut in with a head full of question marks:

"Celestial Dragon? What exactly is that?"

Hearing his Captain's despair-inducing logic, Usopp slapped his own forehead and shouted at Luffy in exasperation:

"You single-celled idiot! Don't think about everything in terms of food!"

"The Celestial Dragons are those disgusting guys wearing transparent bubble helmets, like the one you punched flying at the human auction house on Sabaody Archipelago two years ago!"

Reminded by Usopp, a vague memory finally surfaced in Luffy's mind.

He slammed his right fist into his left palm, showing an expression of sudden realization:

"Oh! It's that ugly, snotty fat guy!"

Sitting to the side, Robin looked at Luffy's reaction and shook her head with a smile.

She put down her coffee and explained in detail to Luffy once more.

She elaborated on the absolute privileges the Celestial Dragons enjoyed on the Red Line as "World Nobles."

She also explained the terrifying rule that if they were ever harmed, the highest combat power of Marineford—an Admiral—would inevitably be deployed.

After listening to Robin's detailed explanation, Luffy nodded casually as if he half-understood.

He swallowed the last bite of meat:

"Anyway, whether it's a Celestial Dragon or a Shichibukai, I just have to send this guy called Doffy flying as well, right?"

Saying this, Luffy grinned and raised his right fist, punching down decisively.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the dull sound of wood splintering.

Luffy's fist punched directly through the newspaper on the table, along with Doflamingo's incredibly arrogant laughing face, leaving a charred hole.

Seeing this, the veins on Law's forehead began to throb wildly. He covered his face with his hands in despair:

"Straw Hat Captain, at a time like this, can you please stop fooling around!"

The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates also exploded, criticizing Luffy for his recklessness:

"Hey! You idiot! We weren't finished reading the paper yet!"

"Damn it! Your punch destroyed all the important content on the back!"

Watching the noisy daily scene before him, Tatsuya, who was sitting quietly to the side, took a sip of bitter coffee.

He knew better than anyone that the original trajectory of fate had completely deviated from its set course due to his forceful intervention as a butterfly.

Caesar had died early, the SAD factory was completely destroyed, and Doflamingo had been pushed to an even more dangerous precipice...

Everything following this had become like a runaway horse, increasingly unpredictable.

However, the corners of Tatsuya's mouth slowly curled into an expectant arc, and he chuckled inwardly:

"More and more unknown variables... that makes it even more interesting, doesn't it?"

In the chaos, Nami painfully pieced together the tattered newspaper and barely managed to see the writing on the second page.

Then, she read out a heavyweight piece of news enough to drive all pirates crazy:

"Listen up! The paper says that Dressrosa is about to host a massive fighting tournament for powerhouses from all over the world!"

"And the champion's prize that has sent the entire sea into a frenzy is actually a... *'Road poneglyph'* rubbing!"

At the words "Road poneglyph," Robin, who had been maintaining an elegant smile, saw her expression turn incredibly solemn.

She looked around at everyone and explained in a heavy voice: "Road poneglyphs are different from the ordinary stone monuments that record history.

"There are only four red stone monuments left in the world, and they are the indispensable keys to finding the final island, 'Laugh Tale.'"

"One could say it is the ultimate treasure that all pirates dream of and are even willing to give their lives for."

Luffy, who had been grinning about breaking the newspaper just a moment ago, suddenly went quiet the moment he heard "Laugh Tale."

He slowly raised his hand and straightened the Straw Hat on his head.

In that instant, the original clarity in his eyes was replaced by a dazzling light of a king.

Luffy stood up abruptly and slammed another heavy fist onto the poor dining table, declaring loudly:

"The key to becoming the Pirate King? Good!

"That fighting tournament or whatever, I, Monkey D. Luffy, am definitely joining!

"That rubbing, I must get my hands on it!"

"Bang!"

The already teetering dining table suffered another heavy blow, letting out a groan of pain.

"You idiot! Why did you smash the table again!"

"Ah! Luffy! The newspaper is completely shredded! Now we really can't finish reading it!"

Inside the dining room, the frantic roars and chasing of his companions erupted once more.

Meanwhile, in the New World, Dressrosa.

Deep within the palace, in a dark and oppressive hall.

Doflamingo sat alone on a high throne, his entire body radiating a suffocating aura of tyranny.

The genius scientist Caesar was dead, meaning the supply of raw materials for the SMILE Artificial Devil Fruit factory was completely cut off.

The underground dark empire he had painstakingly built for over a decade had suffered a devastating blow in just a few days.

He was now pushed to the edge of a cliff with no way to retreat.

However, compared to the devastating retaliation that Kaido of the "Four Emperors" was about to unleash due to the supply cut...

What Doflamingo feared even more at this moment was that man in the Straw Hat Pirates.

The monster Vice Captain with a bounty as high as 2.5 billion, known as the Crimson Lotus Shura—Tatsuya!

Thinking of the blood feud from when one of his most trusted top officers, Diamante, died a tragic death at Tatsuya's cruel hands in Dressrosa.

Doflamingo's eyes, hidden behind red sunglasses, were filled with frenzied bloodshot veins.

He gripped the armrests of the throne tightly, swearing in his heart that he would make Tatsuya pay in blood.

But as the King of the Underworld, Doflamingo possessed a level of rationality beyond ordinary people.

He knew deep down that with the current strength of the Donquixote Family's officers, even if they went all out, they couldn't possibly stop the Straw Hat Pirates.

Thus, Doflamingo utilized his unfathomable intelligence network.

After days and nights of relentless collection and analysis.

He finally grasped the vital information that the Straw Hat crew had formed a deadly enmity with the Four Emperors' "BIG MOM" not long ago on Fish-Man Island.

"Fuffuffuffu... Since that lunatic Kaido has already been completely offended due to the supply cut.

"Then on this sea, the only one qualified and potentially capable of protecting me from Kaido's pursuit is naturally the monster who is also one of the Four Emperors."

Therefore, Doflamingo decisively chose an extremely risky path.

He secretly dispatched his most trusted subordinate, carrying heavy gifts, to send a top-secret alliance letter to "BIG MOM" in the Totto Land waters.

In the letter, he expressed his willingness to have the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa and all remaining forces of the Donquixote Family submit and join the ranks of Totto Land.

As a condition of the exchange, he requested that Big Mom immediately send her top-tier helpers from Totto Land to Dressrosa.

To help him completely eliminate their common enemy—the Straw Hat Pirates!

Thus, Doflamingo's truly insane plan finally came to light.

The reason he had so high-profiledly resigned from his position as a Shichibukai and unhesitatingly announced his sensitive status as a Celestial Dragon was not out of desperate self-abandonment.

It was to intentionally make a scene.

To force the Marines to get involved, and even draw the World Government's direct secret intelligence agency, CP0, to descend upon Dressrosa.

He wanted to use the massive forces of the Marine Admirals and the World Government as the most perfect "smokescreen" on the surface.

To make Law and the Straw Hat crew mistakenly believe that the enemies they were about to face were only the Marines and the Donquixote Family.

Thereby perfectly concealing the Big Mom Pirates who were quietly closing in on Dressrosa!

Sitting on the dark throne, Doflamingo spread his arms and let out a frantic laugh:

"Fuffuffuffuffu! The wrath of a Four Emperor capable of destroying everything, combined with this inescapable net I've laid out with everything I have..."

"Straw Hat! Tatsuya! Law!"

"This time, even if you really are gods, you must die here for me!"'
