Although Kalifa's suggestions were sound, Noir decided to personally visit Doflamingo.
He could easily send a letter to form an alliance with Boa Hancock or Jinbe, given their existing friendship. Doflamingo, however, was a different story.
Besides, Noir still wasn't sure if Doflamingo was the one who had put a hit on him.
Since his head was now a target in the Underworld, Noir wanted to resolve the issue quickly.
Early the next morning, a newly built warship was docked at Noitem Island's coast. A group of people gathered to see Noir off.
For this trip, he was only taking Lucci and Blueno. With their leader gone, Noir needed reliable people to remain on the island.
Issho was more than enough to handle any high-level threats. Robin and Kalifa were essential for managing the kingdom's affairs. Wyper and Enel could serve as manpower…
Lucci was perceptive, and Blueno possessed the Doa Doa no Mi, a perfect escape ability. Taking those two along was sufficient.
With everyone waving them off, Noir, Lucci, and Blueno departed from Noitem Island.
Enel stood on the shore, grumbling, "Why can't I go? It's so boring here…"
Wyper, his expression impassive, scoffed, "You'd just be a nuisance."
Robin sighed, shaking her head with a wry smile. "The kingdom is barely established, and the king runs off. He really can't sit still…"
anwhile, far away on the island of Dressrosa, a tropical paradise filled with the fragrance of flowers and renowned for its delectable cuisine.
Beyond its beauty, the island held legends of fairies, whom the locals revered as guardian deities.
For reasons unknown, the citizens coexisted with living toys, which were integrated into their daily lives.
And the one currently ruling over this unique kingdom was none other than one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo!
Doflamingo, adored and respected by his people, sat on his throne, legs crossed, reading a letter.
As he finished, a low chuckle escaped his lips. "Noir is coming to see ?"
In the vast, empty palace, a slovenly man draped in a slimy, mucus-like cloak and wielding a spade-shaped staff erged from the shadows.
This was Trebol, one of Doflamingo's most trusted subordinates. He sniffled, his voice nasally and unpleasant. "Why would that little punk, who just beca a Warlord, want to et you, Doffy?"
Doflamingo let out his signature, unsettling laugh. "Fuffuffuffu… I think I know why."
About half a month ago, just as the newly appointed Warlord Noir returned to Noitem to establish his kingdom, a bounty for his head suddenly appeared in the Underworld.
As the Underworld's kingpin, Doflamingo was well aware of this developnt. The person who posted the bounty was exceptionally careful, leaving no trace, not even for him.
The bounty for Noir's head in the Underworld far exceeded the Marines' bounty, making it extrely attractive to bounty hunters.
But as the most powerful Warlord, even without concrete evidence, Doflamingo could make an educated guess about the instigator's identity…
Doflamingo stood up, his lanky fra unfolding as he adopted his signature strut. "Co, Trebol. Let's go greet our new Warlord colleague."
Trebol snorted, snot dripping from his nose. "Is that little upstart worth such treatnt?"
Doflamingo chuckled coldly. "If you bothered to learn more about Noir, you'd know he's a dangerous man."
With his extensive network of contacts and informants, Doflamingo was one of the few outsiders who knew about Noir's rampage in Mary Geoise and the liberation of the slaves.
He will never underestimated Noir's abilities.
Moreover, Noir hadn't stated the purpose of his visit in the letter. Doflamingo needed to et him in person. If he ca with hostile intent…
Doflamingo pushed open the palace doors. The wind whipped his pink feather coat as he suddenly launched himself into the air.
With several more mid-air leaps, he effortlessly traversed the distance to Dressrosa's coast, the wind howling around him.
In the distance, Noir's warship was slowly approaching.
Standing at the bow, Noir squinted at the figure on the shore. "Is that… Doflamingo?"
"He ca to greet personally?"
Noir stood proudly at the bow, radiating an aura of "Everyone owes respect," much like a certain red-haired pirate.
Doflamingo's intentions were different. He simply preferred to have any potential battles take place outside his kingdom…
Noir focused on Doflamingo, activating his System's observation ability to analyze his talents.

Noir stared at Doflamingo's talents, particularly the lengthy gold one.
Extre Good and Extre Evil?
Noir rembered from his past life, when he followed the manga, that he'd always considered Doflamingo to be exceptionally wicked.
But after learning about Doflamingo's childhood, Noir understood the aning behind this talent.
After experiencing such trauma, no one could remain untouched by darkness.
Only those who stand at the pinnacle can define good and evil.
This was the principle that Doflamingo had grasped and followed throughout his life.
