57: Chapter 57 Joker!!! Help!

"Click."

"Joker!!! Help me, ahhh!!!"

As soon as the call connected, a scream, as shrill and panicked as a pig being slaughtered, erupted from Caesar Clown on the other end!

The face of the Den Den Mushi, which originally resembled Caesar, was completely distorted in terror, with tears and snot streaming down it frantically!

"Something huge has happened! The sky is falling!!!" Caesar wailed hysterically on the other end of the line.

Doflamingo's expression darkened instantly, a vein bulging on his forehead.

"You're too loud, Caesar."

Doflamingo's voice carried an icy, murderous intent: "If you are screaming like this because your experiment failed, I will send someone to cut out your tongue right now."

"No! It's not the experiment! It's... it's the Marine!"

Caesar's teeth were chattering frantically, his voice distorted by extreme terror.

"Our radar just detected a warship flying a Marine Admiral's flag; it has broken through the outer poison gas defense line and is rushing toward Punk Hazard at a terrifying speed!"

"Marine?"

Doflamingo scoffed, taking a sip of red wine with utter disdain.

"A mere Marine warship, and it has you scared like this?"

"Are you an idiot? There is poison gas outside Punk Hazard and patrol teams inside. Just send some people to blow up the ship and sink them to feed the fish, isn't that enough?"

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, there is no need for you to keep your head."

"That's not it! Joker! Listen to me!!!"

Caesar stamped his feet in anxiety, his desperate wailing almost piercing the eardrum of the Den Den Mushi.

"On the bow of that ship... hangs a bizarre flag with the character 'Uncle' on it!"

"And I saw the man standing on the deck through my telescope!"

Caesar gulped hard:

"It's Karl!!! That lawless Karl from Marineford!!!"

"Clatter!"

The moment he heard the name "Karl," the wine glass in Doflamingo's hand was crushed into powder without warning!

Crimson wine mixed with glass shards dripped from his palm onto the expensive carpet.

Doflamingo's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks.

Half a year ago, the earth-shattering upheaval that occurred at Marineford had already spread to every corner of the world via newspapers.

That man in the floral shirt had, single-handedly, turned Absolute Justice into a joke and caused the World Government to lose all face.

Now, this madman, even more terrifying than the Four Emperors, was actually heading for his underground factory?!

"Fufufufufu... Karl?"

After a brief moment of shock,

Doflamingo suddenly began to chuckle neurotically, the laughter growing louder and louder until it turned into hysterical, manic laughter!

"Hahaha! Interesting! Truly interesting!"

Doflamingo stood up abruptly, and a violent, brutal, and cruel wave of Conqueror's Haki surged through the palace!

Although he feared Karl's strength, the arrogance of the Celestial Dragons flowing in his bones, along with his extreme desire for power, drove him completely mad!

He tossed the disconnected encrypted Den Den Mushi onto the table. Glass shards from the shattered wine glass pierced his palm, and blood mixed with wine dripped onto the expensive carpet, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.

"Karl... is actually heading for my factory?"

Doflamingo pushed up the red sunglasses on his face, his eyes flashing with a crazed, violently bloodthirsty red light.

"Neh neh... Doffy! What happened?"

A massive, sticky figure emitting a pungent odor slithered out from the shadows of the hall.

It was Trebol, one of the top executives of the Donquixote Family.

He sniffled his disgusting snot and leaned toward Doflamingo: "Was that a distress call from that idiot Caesar? Neh neh, who would dare to provoke our family's cash cow?"

"A madman whom we cannot afford to provoke, but whom others can."

Doflamingo curled his lips into an extremely sinister sneer and grabbed a tissue, wiping the blood from his hand casually.

"Trebol, activate our family's most secret underground intelligence network immediately!"

Doflamingo walked to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the deceptively prosperous kingdom below that seemed like a fairy tale, his voice filled with an extreme arrogance that calculated the entire New World into his plans.

"First, sell the exact coordinates of Karl's current heading toward Punk Hazard to Marineford, without leaving out a single word!"

"Akainu, he dreams of skinning Karl alive right now! As long as he receives this intelligence, he will definitely send people to bite Karl, regardless of the cost, just like a mad dog that smells blood!"

Doflamingo scoffed, a flash of shrewd wisdom appearing in his eyes.

"Second, use my name to contact 'Drought' Jack of the Beasts Pirates directly!"

"Tell that brainless brute that someone is going to destroy the SAD production factory and cut off the lifeline of their Devil Fruit user army!"

Hearing this insane plan, Trebol was so shocked that his snot even snapped.

"Neh neh! Doffy! Are you trying to... kill with a borrowed knife?!" Trebol's eyes widened in shock.

"Fufufufufu! That's right!"

Doflamingo turned around abruptly, spreading his arms like a chess player who considered himself a god.

"Karl is very strong, strong enough to one-shot an Admiral. But!"

"What if he has to face that group of completely enraged mad dogs from Marineford, plus that bunch of monsters under the Four Emperor Kaido who don't fear death at all?!"

Doflamingo's smile was twisted to the extreme, as if he had already seen the beautiful image of Karl being decapitated.

"Punk Hazard is the super tomb I have carefully selected for him!"

"I want him to know that the waters of the New World are much deeper than he imagines! Even a dragon crossing the river must coil up for me! Fufufufufu!!!"
