Chapter 307: I Heard You Used to Be a Celestial Dragon?
Dressrosa, King's Plateau
"Fuffuffuffuffu…!"
"Let's go greet Kaido!"
After hanging up the phone, Doflamingo let out a sinister laugh, giving off the vibe of an arrogant villain.
But right after laughing, his expression darkened, veins bulging on his forehead as if he were on the verge of an outburst.
Yet, recalling the terrifying impression Kaido left on him, Doflamingo sensibly suppressed his frustration.
As for why Kaido suddenly appeared on his territory?
One couldn't use normal logic to predict the actions of a lunatic like Kaido.
With that in mind, Doflamingo led a group of his top officers toward the area where "Kaido" was reported to have appeared.

On the other side, Nojiko and her crew made a violent entrance into Dressrosa, causing quite a commotion and some panic.
However, no one in the crew paid much attention to the chaos.
"Where's Doflamingo?"
Nojiko asked Enel.
"He's on his way!"
Enel replied promptly.
"Kalifa, has Morgans arrived yet?"
Before setting off, Nojiko had ordered Kalifa to contact Morgans, intending to broadcast their actions to the world.
The aim was to expose the dark secrets of Dressrosa, delivering a massive blow to the World Government's reputation.
That way, they would have leverage for future negotiations.
---
Before long, Doflamingo and his top executives from the Donquixote Family arrived at the scene.
Using his Observation Haki, Doflamingo scanned the area but found no sign of Kaido, leaving him puzzled and annoyed.
He glared at the subordinate who had reported the situation.
"I-I saw someone fall from the sky and crash into the ground! I thought it was Kaido, so I—"
Bang!
Before the man could finish his explanation, Diamante—one of Doflamingo's top officers, dressed in a red cape and bearing a tribal appearance—pulled out a revolver and shot him dead.
His impatient attitude showed he couldn't tolerate mistakes that made their boss look bad.
---
Doflamingo then turned his gaze toward Nojiko and her crew.
"I remember you're from the Nameless Pirate Group, right? Your captain's dead. What are you doing here?"
Doflamingo asked, wanting to know their purpose.
"First, let me correct you."
"We're from the Heavenly Palace Organization, not the Nameless Pirate Group."
"And we're here because I heard… you used to be a Celestial Dragon."
"I bet you know a lot of secrets about the World Government. Wouldn't it be interesting to expose those to the entire world?"
Nojiko replied calmly, correcting his misconception.
---
"Fuffuffuffu…!"
Hearing Nojiko reveal his long-kept secret, Doflamingo's manic laughter filled the air, laced with unbridled fury.
In his rage, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, sweeping the surroundings with an immense pressure that caused many of his own subordinates to collapse unconscious.
But Nojiko and her team remained unaffected, having faced far more intense situations before.
Doflamingo couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, as his own intimidation backfired and took out half of his own men.
"We don't have time to watch your clown act."
"Everyone, finish this quickly!"
"Leave Doflamingo to me!"
Nojiko ordered decisively.
"Are you going to come quietly, or do we have to beat you senseless first?"
Nojiko asked indifferently, giving him one last chance.
---
Instead of answering, Doflamingo scoffed at the notion that these women could pose a threat to him.
He was a notorious pirate, an underground king, and a Warlord of the Sea.
There was no way he would back down from a bunch of women.
"Five-Color String!"
Doflamingo extended five razor-sharp, almost invisible wires from his fingertips, swiping them toward Nojiko with the intent to slice her to pieces.
---
"Hmph!"
"Death Coil!"
Not to be outdone, Nojiko conjured black threads from her own fingers, intertwining them with Doflamingo's wires.
The threads collided, creating a massive shockwave that rippled through the air.
Within a second, Doflamingo's expression twisted in disbelief as he was blown backward by an overwhelming force, crashing through several buildings before finally stopping.
"Cough! Cough!"
"This woman… how is she so strong?!"
Lying amidst the rubble, Doflamingo hastily used his String-String Fruit ability to repair his fractured arm, completely shocked by the sheer power behind Nojiko's attack.
If he had known Nojiko was this powerful, he would have never attacked so recklessly.
---
Not giving Doflamingo time to recover, Nojiko charged forward, intending to finish him off.
But just as she was about to strike, Diamante intervened, using his Flutter-Flutter Fruit to transform the ground into waving cloth-like sheets.
"Army Flag!"
The ground undulated like fabric, making it difficult for Nojiko to maintain balance, causing her to miss the finishing blow.
---
"Damn it!"
"Your opponent is me!"
"Karoo!"
Vivi called out to her trusty Fast-Running Duck, who was nimbly running across the unstable ground as if it were flat.
Riding on Karoo's back, Vivi skillfully maneuvered through the shifting terrain, charging straight at Diamante.
She had deliberately chosen Diamante as her opponent to test her own strength and push her limits.
---
Meanwhile, the other members of Donquixote Family started engaging the Heavenly Palace members.
The battlefield became chaotic as clashes erupted between both sides.
Nojiko kept her eyes locked on Doflamingo, refusing to let him escape or recover.
"You're not going anywhere."
Her voice was cold and commanding, determined to finish what she started.
---
The battle had begun, and the legend of the Heavenly Palace Organization was about to resound throughout the New World.
Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha, was about to experience what true power felt like.
