The direct questioning instantly tensed everyone’s nerves.
The successive appearance of heavyweight figures had already made their hopes of competing futile.
If even Fire Fist Ace was targeting this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
How could they possibly live?
However, despite their internal grievances, they dared not act rashly in the face of these powerful individuals under the Four Emperors.
"Devil Fruit?" Fire Fist Ace raised the brim of his hat and smiled, "Doflamingo, you underestimate my principles."
"I’m not like Teach, a dog who bites the hand that feeds him. I wouldn’t betray my principles for a Devil Fruit."
With that said, Ace’s gaze suddenly shifted, and he continued, "Lord Saitama has been kind to me. I came to Dressrosa this time to help him obtain the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."
"I just didn’t expect you, as a Seven Warlord and the King of Dressrosa, to use such underhanded tactics by making defeating Lord Saitama the primary condition for obtaining the Devil Fruit. Aren’t you afraid of losing face if this gets out?"
"Who would dare to do business with a scoundrel like you in the future."
Disdainful reprimands echoed through the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.
Doflamingo’s expression slightly darkened, and he forced a mocking smile. "Captain Ace, I initially thought you were a kindred spirit. I didn’t expect you to be just a confused old man who has no idea about the current situation."
"I did make Saitama a public enemy, but you can’t blame me for that. You can only blame him for being too good at offending people."
"Everyone who comes here wants to kill him. Even without my provocation, once he gets on the stage, he’ll just become a target."
"He should be thanking me now. I’m openly targeting him, but I’ve also left him an exit."
"Of course, if he still wants to obtain this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, he can participate in the tournament. If he defeats all the contestants, he can have it."
With that said, Doflamingo’s mocking smile deepened. "Also, Captain Ace, this is the New World. We are pirates. What principles? That’s nonsense. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
"If anyone’s to blame, it’s that guy for being too naive and daring to come here alone."
"If he thinks I’m targeting him, he’s welcome to find someone to support him. We don’t mind."
As these words fell, Ace’s face turned ashen, leaving him speechless.
As a pirate, Ace knew very well that perhaps there were still people in the Whitebeard Pirates who spoke of principles.
But in the eyes of most pirates, principles were worthless.
Most importantly, Doflamingo was also a pirate, so his current actions were entirely reasonable.
For a moment, all eyes turned and locked onto Kai.
As Doflamingo said, "I just like to play targeting games."
If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to find someone to back you up.
Doflamingo’s words and actions were also intended to test whether the new Seven Warlord Saitama had any connection to the suddenly rising Skull Demon and Escanor.
However, as this chaotic thought flashed through his mind, a sudden, unexpected voice rang out.
"Are you guys done talking? I’m so bored!"
In full view of everyone, Kai yawned, his dead fish eyes drooping, and listlessly walked out from the crowd.
Under their gaze, he leaped into the center of the arena.
He glanced left and right and said, "You babbled on and on, saying so much. I thought the rules for my victory would be difficult."
"Turns out I just need to defeat all of you!"
"If you had said this earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted time with you."
His sudden appearance surprised not only the onlookers but also Doflamingo.
He had intended to test Saitama’s trump cards with these taunts.
In his opinion, anyone who faced such unfair treatment should have retorted at least once.
Now, seeing Saitama step onto the stage as soon as he spoke, he was not only acting unpredictably.
It felt like he had something else planned.
With this thought, Doflamingo stared intently at Kai.
In the next moment, the first thing that caught his eye was Kai’s fist clenching tightly, his arm muscles tensing like rock.
The sudden movement shook Doflamingo’s nerves.
Before he could react, an unexpected, dejected voice suddenly rang out.
"Doflamingo, I believe your little Sugar should be here?"
"Sugar?"
Violet, standing behind Garp, and Kyros, their expressions faltered.
Others might not know who Sugar was.
But for Kyros and Violet, they knew very well.
She was Doflamingo’s most important hidden trump card.
And the key to controlling Dressrosa.
Now, Saitama had directly exposed a secret that even Violet didn’t know.
This undoubtedly made Doflamingo’s expression change drastically, and he roared urgently.
"Quick, Jack, stop him! Don’t let him damage the arena!"
The sudden outburst shook everyone’s nerves.
Looking at Doflamingo, who had lost his composure. Jack, with his muscle-filled brain, couldn’t understand.
But for him, being able to act was enough.
Facing Kai, who was dozens of meters away, Jack strode forward. His massive body showed no sign of sluggishness.
In just a breath or two, Jack appeared before Kai.
Without any fancy moves, he raised his fist, as large as a millstone, and smashed it towards Kai.
One punch unleashed!
It was accompanied by a tremendous sound and a sharp whistling noise.
Watching this scene, the onlookers couldn’t help but tense up, their faces showing an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
They desperately wanted to know how Kai would respond to the attack.
However, as this thought flashed through their minds, the first thing they saw was the fist smashing down towards them.
Boom!
A dull collision sound echoed like thunder.
The immense impact shattered the thick floor of the arena.
However, facing all this, apart from the sound of the backdraft, the arena suddenly fell silent.
His bald head, as smooth as a mirror, under the impact of the millstone-sized fist.
Only vibrated slightly a few times.
Looking at Kai’s indifferent expression and drooping dead fish eyes.
A voice that struck the soul rang out again.
"Your punch is too light. Can you be a little more serious in the arena? This is a live broadcast!"
"Are you throwing the match?"
