Chapter 242: Fujitora
"Sanji, stick to the original plan. I have other matters to attend to here. If all goes well today, I will take care of Doflamingo's reign," Rodney jumped onto the window and said, "It's time for the world to change, but it's not something you pirates should be concerned about. By the way, do you have a little guy named Momonosuke on your ship?"
Sanji was furious, "You know that brat?"
"Of course."
"That annoying brat not only bathes with Miss Nami but also sleeps with her! Unforgivable! If it weren't for Miss Nami protecting him, I would have thrown him overboard!"
"You should have thrown him overboard," Rodney patted his shoulder and said, "That brat lacks his father's courage. So, throwing him to the fish is a good choice."
"Ah? I can't see any courage in Kin'emon either."
"His father isn't the samurai from Wano that you're thinking of. The 'Kin'emon' you mentioned is one of the subordinates of that little brat. My advice to you is that it's best not to get involved with that kid; it could cause a lot of trouble and even attract the attention of the Yonko."
Rodney's face was full of smiles, but his smile was malicious.
Such a little pervert should just be taken care of. With or without him, it doesn't matter. Children are the future of this world, but... not Momonosuke!
"Are you saying that Momonosuke and Kin'emon have been deceiving us?"
Compared to Momonosuke and Kin'emon, who joined them halfway, Sanji trusted Rodney more. This guy was usually eccentric and had a habit of monopolizing Miss Robin, but he didn't harm people without reason.
In other words, those two guys weren't really father and son; they had deceived everyone.
Achieving his goal, Rodney said, "I'll be going now to meet an old friend. I wonder if he's blinded himself."
With a slight smile, he leaped onto the rooftop, moving swiftly and gracefully, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go too, Miss Viola." Sanji decided to stick to the plan and left with Viola. They needed to complete their mission, but with Rodney around, they didn't know how much of it would be possible.
He didn't know. This guy Rodney could single-handedly crush their Straw Hat Pirate crew. Sanji had trained with him and knew just how powerful this guy was.
If he really decided to use that move, Doflamingo might not be able to stop him...
"Believe in Mr. Rodney, Miss Viola. His power is more than enough to dismantle this country." Sanji tried to comfort her, but Viola's beautiful face was filled with worry.
"Wait and hope..." She whispered softly, her gaze gradually firm.
...
Green Bit Island
This isolated island lay north of Dressrosa, connected only by a steel bridge. However, two hundred years ago, the nearby waters were infested with vicious sea kings that attacked passing ships. Sometimes, they even leaped onto the bridge to assault pedestrians. This led to fewer and fewer people coming to the island, causing Green Bit to gradually become an abandoned, desolate place, an uninhabited island.
Underground on this island was the country of the Tontatta Tribe. A large number of Tontattas lived here, making it their paradise.
Due to its isolation, Rodney chose this place to meet with Doflamingo.
On the coastline, Rodney had a thin, middle-aged man dressed in a white lab coat bound beside him. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and appeared anxious. He said, "Oh my, Rodney-sama, do you really have to do this? People will die, and Doflamingo-sama will kill me."
His legs were trembling, showing no signs of courage.
"Shut up! He's almost here! No, he's already here!"
In the distance, a pink figure moved through the air and soon landed on the beach.
The two began arguing with each other while surrounding Gaburu. Then, a group of marines emerged from the forest.
Leading them was Admiral Fujitora!
The three faced off, tensions rising. Fujitora smiled and initiated the action by pulling a meteorite from the sky.
A meteorite fell from the heavens, clearly visible even in broad daylight. Rodney immediately set up an operating table, cutting the meteorite with a scalpel. Doflamingo used his String-String Fruit to cut the remaining meteorite, while Fujitora, in a more straightforward manner, directed the meteorite's path.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dust cleared, revealing a large crater. Three stone pillars stood in the middle of the crater, and on top of those pillars were the three of them.
"Hahaha! Those who become admirals are all monsters!" Doflamingo laughed heartily.
"Hehe, this was just a demonstration. Now then, Mr. Rodney, I can arrest you," Fujitora suddenly raised his head and said, "It seems an old friend has arrived."
"Oh, indeed! You've blinded yourself in the end," Rodney said with a smile.
Rodney arrived by walking on the sea, and the water quickly filled the crater, with him standing on the surface. He grinned and said, "It's been a while, Dr. Kureha."
"Indeed, it has. I couldn't stand the filth and scum in this world anymore. So, I blinded myself," Dr. Kureha replied in a calm tone, "Mr. Rodney, I will forever remember the beauty of your Avileon in my heart."
The world was filled with too much ugliness, and he wanted to see how far Rodney could go. Unfortunately, the ugliness of the world had become unbearable for him, so he blinded himself.
"Hahaha, is that so? What about Garibbuz?"
Garibbuz had been transferred to safety by Rodney. He was now in shock due to the scene and had fainted. Unlike Vergo and Caesar, this researcher didn't possess combat capabilities; he was just an ordinary scientist, with nothing special about him.
"Rodney, did you come here for Garibbuz too? Given your performance in the arena, heh, I see through your intentions now. Are you planning to use Garibbuz for experiments?"
Rodney laughed loudly, "Impossible. That kind of specimen is utterly useless to me. Both bloodline factors and artificial Devil Fruits are useless to me." He pointed one hand towards Garibbuz, and lightning crackled on it. He threw a Chidori Sharp Spear at Garibbuz's neck. Doflamingo couldn't stop it in time, and the Chidori Sharp Spear pierced Garibbuz's neck.
Doflamingo breathed a sigh of relief; this was just a minor injury, and there was still a chance to treat him.
"Raiton: Micro Chakra Burst!"
The energy within the Chidori Sharp Spear was suddenly detonated, causing a loud bang. Garibbuz's body was blown to pieces, leaving
only a mangled corpse.
Staring at the mangled corpse, Doflamingo's face turned as dark as a storm cloud. Even Rodney and Trebol didn't expect him to go this far.
"Why did you do this, Rodney?"
Rodney replied with a smile, "What's the matter? Did you pretend to be blind with those glasses? There's a real blind man here. Why did I do it? Because why should scum who use children for experiments be allowed to live?"
"You bastard! Do you know what will happen now that he's dead?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
