Doflamingo did not want to occupy the country of Dressrosa by force.

What he needed was to take over the power of the country from King Liku.

What he needs is a harmonious and stable country to serve as his foundation in the new world.

And use this as a springboard to continue to realize his ambitions.

Over the years, he can be said to have walked step by step from the North Sea, to the first half of the Great Voyage to the 'Paradise', and then to the second half of the New World.

Steadily and steadily, constantly expanding their own power and enhancing their influence.

He was by no means willing to be a notorious pirate.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a pirate, the Seven Martial Seas, or the upcoming kingship, or even the identity of the Celestial Dragon that he has already abandoned!

All of them are the chips and stepping stones he uses to realize his ultimate dream!

One Piece?

Boom!

That was never his goal, and he didn't care.

And this is what sets him apart from most other pirates.

He's an alternative among pirates, a freak!

。。。。。。

King's Heights.

Able infiltrated Dressrosa's palace with great ease.

His mission was to deliver a message to Monet and give her the Snow Fruit.

On the day of his move, Monet not only needed to cooperate with the outside people to open the palace gates, but also needed to hold the princess hostage and use it as a bargaining chip to persecute King Riku.

And the original Monet's strength can only be said to be a little bit, but not much.

This is also the reason why Doflamingo, after thinking twice, chose to hand over this natural snow fruit to her in advance.

With this Snow Fruit, even if there is no time for development, it will be enough to deal with those palace guards and princesses.

In the shadows, Abel's shadow emerged from within.

Then the next moment, the shadow became Abel himself.

This is the way Able combined the Dark Fruit and the Shadow Fruit, plus some of his own understanding and comprehension, to figure it out.

First of all, with the help of his shadow, he can ignore the spatial barrier and shuttle through the darkness, allowing the shadow to sneak in first.

Then, using the ability of the 'Shadow Mage' and the main body to swap places, they can swap places.

In an instant, a kind of pseudo-teleportation of extremely long distances has been achieved!

And it's so elusive that it's hard to notice.

In addition, Abel's use of the Dark Breath Method to cover his aura and existence made him as a ghost everywhere in the palace, and no one could find it.

As the lady-in-waiting of Her Royal Highness Princess Violet, Monet naturally had access to many parts of the palace.

When she was holding a bowl of soup and turned around a certain corner.

A voice suddenly rang out in the shadows beside her.

"Stand here, stay as you are, don't move."

"Captain Dover has led all the members of his family to Dressrosa, and it won't be long before he executes his plan to take the country."

"The exact time of action and what you need to do is recorded on this piece of paper. After you read it, destroy it immediately. ”

"Also, this snow fruit is the captain's reward for all you have done. It also means that only success is allowed and no failure is allowed, otherwise you know the consequences. ”

Monet nodded slightly motionlessly.

The wooden board she was holding in her hand had somehow a strange-shaped fruit on top of it, and a folded piece of paper was pressed underneath.

"Is it Lord Abel?"

Monet knew that she shouldn't be talking at this time, but after hearing this voice, she couldn't help but ask.

But I waited for a while, but I didn't get any response.

She turned her head to look at the shadows next to her, and saw that there was nothing in there.

Monet inevitably felt a little lost in his heart, but he immediately suppressed this emotion.

Then she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and first picked up the devil fruit and gnawed it down.

Vomit.

The 'magical' smell made her almost throw it up.

However, in order to gain strength, she still forcibly swallowed it.

Considering that the rest of the fruit was at risk of being exposed wherever it was thrown, Monet simply pinched his nose and ate the whole fruit.

Then, while retching, he opened the slip of paper and quickly skimmed through the information on it.

After memorizing the key information inside, she simply threw the note into her mouth and swallowed it raw.

Thanks to the Devil Fruit, she didn't think the paper was unpalatable at all.

After doing this, she adjusted her mood, picked up the plank and the soup on it again, and walked towards the room where Princess Violet was.

A little snowflake suddenly fell to the ground at her feet.

But obviously the weather is so sunny and hot.

。。。。。。。

Meanwhile.

In the second half of the Great Voyage, a prison ship was carrying several vicious prisoners ready to be escorted to Advance City.

But what no one knows is that there is a prisoner who hides the truth that he is a Devil Fruit ability, so he is not handcuffed by the sea building stone.

This is an extremely fatal omission!

BOOM！

With a violent explosion, a man with horns on his head, long black hair, more than 3 meters tall, and a somewhat pale face walked out of the cell.

Suddenly, the sound of sirens echoed throughout the prison ship.

A large number of guards began to gather at the site of the incident.

"Hallucinogenic gas!"

Instead of continuing to blast with gas, Caesar Courant used a poisonous gas that could cause people to hallucinate, which quickly drifted out.

As the name suggests, this hallucinogenic gas can cause people to hallucinate and thus attack each other.

After all, he didn't want to completely destroy this ship, he needed this ship to take him to a place on this vast sea.

Under the spread of hallucinogenic poison gas, all the guards who arrived were soon all hit.

Mistaking the people around him for his enemies, he immediately staged a good show of cannibalism.

Caesar Kurant admired it for only a moment, then lost interest and prepared to take over the ship.

And when he went out, the other inmates in the cell were still yelling at him, hoping that he would release them all.

"Let you out? Of course, I'll let you out when you get there, but not now. ”

Caesar Kurant smiled at the prisoners, who didn't know what was going to happen to them.

Now with nothing, he needs these cheap test subjects to help him make a comeback!

However, considering that they were a little too noisy, Caesar Courant released the gas and knocked them all unconscious.

"Vegapunk, wait and see."

"I know you must be afraid of my success, afraid that I will surpass you, so you deliberately sent the navy to capture me. But you'll never succeed! ”

"I, Caesar Courant, are the world's number one scientist!"
