Beneath the Grimbit Forest, there is a special space where the Dwarf Tribe's Donquixote Kingdom resides.
When they learned that Drake and the others' goal was to defeat Doflamingo, Rei'ao directly led everyone here.
A large drawing board was set up, and Rei'ao stood on a giant mushroom, pointing at a cartoon character's face on the board with a needle.
"Earlier, I heard you mention that you have quite a good understanding of Doflamingo's forces, so I'll introduce the key points of this operation.
Doflamingo's three main subordinates are Trebol, Pica, and Diamante. To defeat Doflamingo, you must first take down them and their forces.
Among them, Diamante manages the arena, Pica guards the Palace of the King, and Trebol's target is the most critical—Sugar, a special officer of the Doflamingo family.
Sugar has the ability to turn people into toys. Those turned into toys are forgotten by others and follow Sugar's commands—an extremely dangerous ability.
But as long as we defeat her, everyone turned into toys can return to normal, and Doflamingo will lose the trust of Dressrosa completely.
Our plan is to destroy Doflamingo's key locations—his artificial Devil Fruit factory, underground weapons factory, and the headquarters of his forces. This will not only rescue our trapped kin but also attract Doflamingo's attention.
They don't know our real target is Sugar. As long as we make her unconscious, we can reverse our disadvantage of being outnumbered. Then, we can strike and eliminate Doflamingo and his subordinates."
The Dwarf Tribe is indeed very simple-minded, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. They've long realized that Doflamingo has been deceiving them.
Moreover, Dressrosa still has a group of loyalists to King Riku. The Dwarf Tribe has also learned the truth about Riku's slaughter of the citizens and has formed an alliance with them.
This plan has probably been in the works for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity to implement it.
In the future, when the Straw Hat Pirates and Law's alliance come to Dressrosa and cause chaos— even Doflamingo's false resignation as king and the fake declaration of stepping down from the Shichibukai— the Dwarf Tribe and Riku's army saw an opportunity. That's when they started executing this SOP plan.
Honestly, this plan is already very detailed and feasible. But Drake didn't comment, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
He wasn't doubting the plan's flaws; rather, whether it could succeed depended on the execution phase.
Generally speaking, the more steps a plan has, the greater the chance of unexpected problems. Approaching directly and punching the target often avoids such issues.
In the original story, many unexpected events happened during the Dressrosa operation—so much so that the alliance was pushed to the brink of defeat, and only Luffy's effort finally defeated Doflamingo and ended everything.
So Drake thought for a moment and said, "Rei'ao, you might have misunderstood something."
Rei'ao tilted his head, a big question mark appearing over his head.
Drake straightened up, giving a thumbs-up to himself and his companions. "Our Fairy Tail is very strong—at least stronger than Doflamingo and his men.
So, defeating them doesn't require any complicated plans!"
Everyone also stood up, showing confident smiles. Although they didn't know exactly how strong Doflamingo's forces were, they believed in themselves—Fairy Tail's most lacking thing is confidence!
Rei'ao's eyes sparkled. "So cool! So, what are you going to do?"
Drake smiled and replied, Since we're aiming to wipe out the entire Doflamingo family, we won't leave any targets untouched.
The arena, weapons factory, artificial Devil Fruit factory, Sugar, and the Palace of the King—all will be taken down one by one.
So, Rei'ao, please lead the way.
Rei'ao pounded his chest. "Don't worry, we'll definitely get you to your targets."
He looked at the map of Dressrosa on the drawing board and began to think.
Dressrosa's terrain was quite strange—divided into two levels.
The upper level was the Palace of the King, the Flower Fields, Lover's Avenue, the arena, and the Toy House—places for sightseeing.
The underground of Dressrosa had been excavated, containing the Officer Tower where people are turned into toys, as well as scrap yards stacked with discarded toys and arena losers.
There was also an arms factory, an underground port for illegal trade, and the SMILE factory for cultivating artificial Devil Fruits.
It could be said that the underground of Dressrosa represented the darkness of this country… or rather, all the darkness of Doflamingo.
Drake looked at everyone and said, That's the plan. First, split into three teams: one heading to the arena to take down Diamante, another entering the underground through the Toy House, and then separately taking out Sugar and Trebol inside the Officer Tower, destroying the underground weapons factory and port, and sabotaging the artificial Devil Fruit factory to rescue the Dwarf Tribe inside.
Finally, one team will go to the Palace of the King to deal with Pica and Doflamingo.
Natsu clapped his fists together. "I'll handle the arena. It sounds like a place that'll really get me fired up."
Drake nodded. "Good. Gray, you and him go together!"
Natsu said, a bit annoyed, "One person's enough. Why does that droopy-eyed guy have to come along?"
Gray sneered. "Because your hanging eyes are too messy, so I have to take care of you!"
"You wanna fight?"
"Are you afraid of me?"
Erza pressed their heads apart and looked at Drake with a look that said, "Is it okay for these two to go together?"
Drake waved his hand, indicating it was fine. The Ice-Fire duo wouldn't lose to anyone in terms of teamwork—no worries about affecting their battle with enemies.
And even if they started fighting, it would be on Doflamingo's territory, so no need to worry.
Next, Drake said, "Erza, you'll lead the underground team. Be very careful of Sugar's ability. Besides Shinra, Stella, and Sasuke, everyone else will go with you."
The underground targets were numerous, so enough manpower was necessary. Erza was the most reliable leader, so with her, it shouldn't be a problem.
The most concerning thing was Sugar's ability—turning people into toys was one thing, but erasing related memories was truly terrifying.
But with prior knowledge of her abilities, the danger could be greatly reduced.
Drake initially planned to handle this most dangerous opponent himself, but considering the possibility of encountering even more dangerous magic in the future, he couldn't always step forward.
It's better to treat this as a trial—familiarize himself early, and rely on backup if needed.
The battle plan was simple: find your targets and crush them. That was Drake's "Flamingo Kill" plan.
