One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 408 Congratulations on your freedom

Black Dragon's question reminded Doflamingo of the past.

He personally took care of his brother and father.

Doflamingo could not possibly be completely unmoved by their deaths.

But he doesn't regret it.

If it happened again, he would show no mercy.

The father ruined their family's happy life.

His younger brother, Rosinante, betrayed him.

Therefore, he does not regret what he did.

But not regretting it doesn't mean he's willing to hear these things casually mentioned by others.

This bloody history is something even Doflamingo himself wants to forget.

"What do you know, Black Dragon?!"

"Don't get so agitated, Tenyasha. I'm asking you this sincerely. So what exactly does it feel like?" Roman continued nonchalantly, as if he hadn't sensed Doflamingo's hatred.

"Black Dragon, don't think you'll get away with this. Weapons that disobey orders never have a good end."

"Why threaten me like this, Doflamingo? What, do you think I'll be executed?"

Before Doflamingo could respond, Roman answered on his own: "How could that be? I don't think the World Government would be so emotional. They wouldn't ask me to pay with my life for a corpse."

"After all, only the living can create value, right? As a businessman, shouldn't you understand this even more?"

She came prepared.

Doflamingo, who was being trampled under Roman's feet, suddenly realized something.

“Violet, you probably don’t need to pretend anymore.” This time, he called Violet by her real name.

"Have you already discovered it, Dover?" Violet slowly emerged from a patch of vines.

She had no injuries.

He walked steadily with each step, but his pace quickened as he approached Doflamingo.

Violet's expression was somewhat complicated as she looked at Doflamingo, who was being trampled under Roman's feet.

She truly hadn't expected that the man, who was like a nightmare, could fall so easily.

No, let alone Doflamingo, even the entire Donquixote Family wouldn't be a match for her.

The woman known as the Black Dragon possesses overwhelming power.

I made the right choice.

From now on, Dressrosa is free.

And I, too, have regained my freedom.

Thinking of this, Violet removed the beautiful flower hairpin from her head and threw it on the ground, causing the flower ornaments on her head to fall with the wind.

The long hair, which had been neatly bound, was untied, revealing its original flowing shape.

As the wind blows, the movement of the hair appears particularly graceful.

Violet's expression was one of relief and resolve.

Perhaps the long-standing gloom had dissipated, and Roman felt that Violet at this moment was like a ray of light in the darkness, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.

"This feeling of freedom suits you perfectly, Your Highness."

“Thank you for your help. I’m so glad I made that decision.” Violet knelt down on one knee before Roman.

That's right, Roman and Violet had been in cahoots for a long time.

Even though Roman knew the situation in Dressrosa, she couldn't guarantee that everything in Dressrosa would be within her expectations.

This world is always full of all sorts of unstable factors, isn't it?

That's why Roman secretly sought out Violet, who was the most likely to betray Doflamingo.

She was originally a princess of a country and a future queen, how could she be willing to live under Doflamingo's thumb for the rest of her life?

She would give anything given the chance.

It wasn't difficult to persuade Violet.

Roman's overwhelming strength is the best evidence that she can defeat Doflamingo.

Roman's task for Violet was simple: to report his whereabouts to Doflamingo.

Even the group of four didn't know when they would arrive.

Even the navy was unaware that Roman had not gone to the island with the other naval personnel.

Therefore, Sengoku, upon receiving the order, simply sent it directly to Roman.

Violet was the only person who knew that Roman was on the island and had separated from the navy.

From the beginning, Roman had Violet spread the false news to Doflamingo that he had not gone to the island.

Because I still need to do some preparatory work.

Without Violet's report, Doflamingo would probably have turned the island upside down just to find him.

After making all the preparations, Violet should then reveal that she is about to go to the island, along with information that her subordinates have already obtained.

Sure enough, Doflamingo couldn't sit still any longer.

However, it would be unwise to attack the navy directly.

He has more legitimate options.

That means going to the World Government.

As expected, Doflamingo did just that.

However, he has a backup plan, and so do I.

“Violet, you really have some ideas,” Doflamingo said, emphasizing each word.

"Doflamingo, you're too arrogant." Violet said with some emotion, never expecting that one day he could make Doflamingo look up to him.

"Arrogance is the original sin, you celestial demon."

"Aren't you filled with arrogance right now? Black Dragon, even if you have value that makes them hesitant to deal with you, do you expect everyone else to be treated the same way you are?"

"Someone has to take responsibility, right?"

After saying that, Doflamingo burst into maniacal laughter.
