I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate Chapter 44: Doflamingo’s Shock

"Young Master, how long are we going to wait here?"

Mariejois, in a conference room.

Doflamingo sat quietly.

Behind him, Trebol asked with a frown.

They had been waiting in this room for nearly an entire day.

It was said that soone would co to discuss important matters with them, but no one had shown up yet.

What was this?

Were they being ignored?

"Fufufufu, Trebol, be patient," Doflamingo said calmly as he swirled the wine in his glass, a smirk on his face. "This is a big deal we're discussing."

"More importantly, I've already received word that the person negotiating with us this ti might be a major figure."

"Although we've paid a hefty price to secure this eting..."

"It will definitely be worth it."

"So, stay composed. The key here is not to reveal any emotions. If this really is that 'big shot,' even I can't guarantee your safety."

Doflamingo's voice grew serious toward the end.

Hearing this, Trebol froze for a mont before quickly nodding, his deanor turning solemn.

He was well aware of Doflamingo's unique status.

Otherwise, there was no way they could have secured an audience with the World Governnt.

If even Doflamingo had to be this cautious, it was clear that the person they might et this ti was one of the highest-ranking individuals within the World Governnt.

For soone like Trebol, whose origins were humble at best, the thought was both intimidating and awe-inspiring.

Doflamingo noticed Trebol's reaction and felt sowhat relieved.

He truly regarded Trebol as family, and for this reason, he didn't want any harm to co to him.

But this ti, caution was paramount.

Doflamingo had been monitoring the changes within the World Governnt for so ti, using every resource to gather information.

For a long while, he found nothing.

Only recently did he finally uncover so startling news:

The World Governnt had developed a new type of weapon—one far superior to the military technology of the present day.

It was a ga-changer.

So, after so deliberation, Doflamingo had co to Mariejois, aiming to strike a deal that would solidify the Donquixote Family's business dominance in North Blue.

If he succeeded, it would beco the foundation of his underground empire on the Grand Line.

Even Doflamingo, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't help but feel excited.

Unlike the original story's tiline, the Donquixote Family was currently confined to North Blue.

But Doflamingo wasn't naïve.

He rembered the warning given to him by the World Governnt official who had arranged this eting:

"Joker, considering all the Baileys you've funneled into our coffers over the years, let give you a word of caution. This ti, you might et the Five Elders. Or, you might et... soone else.

If it's the latter, control your temper.

If you die in Mariejois, don't bla .

You should understand—the person you may et holds an extrely high position within the World Governnt.

I've only heard rumors about him; I'm not even qualified to et him in person.

So, tread carefully. This individual is said to stand on equal footing with the Five Elders."

Every ti he recalled these words, Doflamingo couldn't help but shudder inwardly.

As a forr Celestial Dragon, he understood the imnse authority wielded by the Five Elders.

For soone to be considered their equal?

That was terrifying.

Even more unsettling was that he had no knowledge of such a figure—not even a whisper.

For a forr Celestial Dragon to be kept in the dark about such an important individual was a sobering thought.

This spoke volus about the lengths to which the World Governnt went to protect this secret.

Suddenly.

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps echoed outside the conference room.

Doflamingo instinctively straightened, his gaze fixed on the door.

With a creak, the door opened.

Doflamingo's pupils contracted as he inhaled sharply.

A man dressed in white entered the room. Though his appearance was unassuming, the overwhelming aura he exuded made Doflamingo feel as though he were suffocating.

Admiral level!

This was undoubtedly an Admiral-level powerhouse.

And Doflamingo imdiately recognized the man's attire: CP0!

This Admiral-level figure was serving as a bodyguard, scanning the room for potential threats before stepping aside.

What kind of person required such protection?

The question alone sent chills down Doflamingo's spine.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of high heels followed.

A woman stepped into the room—Eleanor.

Doflamingo recognized her imdiately.

Before he had lost his status as a Celestial Dragon, he had seen Eleanor several tis.

She was formidable, but she wasn't the person they were waiting for.

Then, as expected, a third figure entered.

The man in the white robe had a face that could only be described as regal. His presence was calm yet commanding, exuding a natural air of superiority.

Doflamingo didn't hesitate.

"Doflamingo greets Your Highness!"

With practiced grace, Doflamingo stood and bowed deeply, using the etiquette reserved for royalty.

Even his signature "fufufu" laugh was suppressed.

This was not the ti for frivolity.

The man, now seated across from him, nodded lightly in acknowledgnt.

Eleanor's cold gaze shifted to Trebol.

"Bow your head," she ordered icily. "His Highness is not soone a lowly being like you can look upon."

The sheer weight of her killing intent bore down on Trebol, who imdiately lowered his head.

"That's enough, Eleanor," Kaos said with a faint smile, waving a hand.

Eleanor complied, withdrawing her cold gaze and standing silently beside him, the picture of loyalty.

Doflamingo observed this interaction, and his heart was shocked, but he remained silent.

"I've heard of you, Joker," Kaos said, his voice calm.

Doflamingo nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."

"Actually, if those five old guys didn't consider that I might be interested in governnt affairs, it would be those five old guys who ca to communicate with you."

"But it happens that I'm bored too, so I'll chat with you."

That's right.

Originally, such a small matter was not worth Five Elders to inform Kaos of.

But since Kaos would ascend the throne of the World Governnt in the future, and rule the entire World Governnt and he might be interested in this kind of governnt affairs, so the Five Elders chose to have soone tell Kaos.

If Kaos is interested, let him chat.

And in the future, things in this area will gradually be handed over to Kaos.

Doflamingo nodded slightly, but still didn't speak.

After all, he knew the five old guys Kaos was talking about.

Who else but the Five Elders?

He couldn't speak.

He can't disrespect the Five Elders with Kaos, right?

He is not qualified for this.

Doflamingo may be arrogant, but he is definitely a smart guy.

The so-called arrogance usually refers to beings who are inferior to him in terms of strength or status.

But in this place Mariejois.

He can't!
