Akihara Kagura and Karin left Demon Valley Town.
Because they still needed to find a suitable means to reach Sky Island.
After all, an ordinary Navy Lieutenant and Navy Squad Leader do not have the ability to fly; they can only rely on others to reach Sky Island.
Donflamingo and Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach knew nothing of this; they were still in the bar at Demon Valley Town scheming and trying to use each other.
These two are quite shrewd.
Their methods are equally ruthless and merciless.
The two figures who could also be considered extremely evil among pirates formed an alliance agreement in this shabby bar.
Donflamingo would fully help Teach become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Teach would assist Donflamingo in obtaining information on the hunt game hosted by the Konoha Pirates, and perhaps later, help the World Government to prevent the hunt game from occurring.
Donflamingo isn't really lying; as long as Teach shows the power and will to fight against the Konoha Pirates, the World Government would not be stingy with a mere position in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Five Elders would love for the entire sea of pirates to be the enemies of the Konoha Pirates!
"Zehahaha... happy cooperation."
Teach was quite excited that his plan had taken an important step forward.
The World Government wants to appoint a new member to the Seven Warlords of the Sea and must consult the other Warlords, and Donflamingo's support is greatly beneficial to him!
Additionally...
Perhaps this hunting game could spark a clash between the world and the Konoha Pirates, allowing him to reap the benefits amid the chaos!
Although the Konoha Pirates are very dangerous...
However, the World Government and Navy will definitely take action first; he only needs to hide nearby, waiting for the opportunity, making Teach very happy!
"Fufufufu... happy cooperation."
Donflamingo adjusted his sunglasses with a hint of a malevolent smile at the corner of his mouth, pleased to see the world in chaos.
This bastard Teach isn't anything good; he willingly jumps in opposition to the Konoha Pirates, and once things go south, he'll just throw this bastard under the bus...
After all...
Donflamingo is a businessman with a vast enterprise.
If someone is willing to take the fall, Donflamingo is more than happy for someone to step up; he doesn't want to openly offend the Konoha Pirates...
"Then let's figure out a way to reach Sky Island first..."
Blackbeard Teach grinned, revealing a row of hollow teeth: "Let's first find that rookie Straw Hat Luffy. I've seen that kid with my own eyes in Demon Valley Town; he's also a guy who fights desperately for his dreams!"
Yes.
Teach and Luffy have had a brief encounter.
But their tastes are completely different, even opposite.
However...
Teach genuinely likes Straw Hat Luffy; he can see Luffy's determination to fight, knowing that his future will not be confined to a small pirate!
"Fufufufu... dreams..."
Donflamingo's lips curled with disdain.
As a man long accustomed to harsh realities, Donflamingo has long since lost track of where he discarded his dreams, preferring to trust his methods!
Unexpected...
This bastard named Teach still believes in such nonsense as dreams!
What are dreams?
Only power is everything!
Only great power can define everything!
Whether it's justice or evil, good or bad, they are all determined by the strong, only the victors can decide everything!
Donflamingo and Marshall D. Teach moved quickly; the two swiftly scoured Gaya Island for traces of the Straw Hat Pirates, but found that the Straw Hat Pirates had already set sail.
To find the Straw Hat Pirates, Donflamingo and Teach's Blackbeard Pirates rode a giant raft, pursuing the direction of their sailing.
This giant raft quickly caught the attention of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Eh?"
Straw Hat Luffy perched atop the ship's mast, shielded his eyes with a hand, curiously inspecting the raft that followed: "Looks like someone is tailing us..."
"They seem like a really fierce bunch..."
Nami looked curiously towards the raft, immediately frowning.
Though fierce-looking folks aren't necessarily bad people, the pirates in the Blackbeard Pirates all look excessively fierce, understandably causing fear.
"It's a pirate crew we haven't seen before..."
Nico Robin glanced at the Blackbeard Pirates' flag, deducing they might not be powerful, suddenly a flash of pink caught her eye!
Pink?
Nico Robin looked again at the raft, spotting atop the large raft's mast a blonde man in a pink feather coat, wearing sunglasses!
"That's..."
"Donflamingo of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Nico Robin's face changed immediately, knowing many of the great figures of the sea, having mingled in the dark underworld herself, naturally aware of Donflamingo's appearance and his terrifying reputation!
If anyone could dictate the direction of the underworld with a word, setting the prices of global trade, Donflamingo is undoubtedly among them!
"Another member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Nami's eyes flashed with surprise!
In Alabasta, they suffered defeat at the hands of former Seven Warlords member Crocodile, having already witnessed the terror of the Seven Warlords!
