Doflamingo spread his hands, with that uncomfortable smile on his face once again, and said, "Then please end this boring meeting as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice with a frivolous smile suddenly came from the window sill of the room.
"Hoho, it seems I came at the right time."
"Um!?"
Everyone present suddenly followed the source of the sound and looked towards the window sill facing the wall. They saw Lafayette, wearing a top hat and a black gentleman's uniform, sitting on the window sill.
Before hearing that voice, everyone present, including Garp Hawkeye, did not notice Lafayette's arrival for the first time.
"when… "
Surprise appeared on the faces of several lieutenant generals from the headquarters who came to attend the meeting in accordance with regulations.
Garp put down the half-eaten senbei, looked sideways at Lafayette, and praised: "It's not bad, it's a way to hide the aura."
"It's ridiculous, it's just some minor tricks."
Facing the gazes of many big shots, Lafayette jumped off the window sill with a normal expression. The cane in his hand danced into a beautiful stick pattern, and at the same time, he tapped the marble floor rhythmically a few times with the heel of his foot.
Later, Lafayette said his intention directly without any delay: "Sorry for the intrusion. If possible, please allow me to attend this meeting."
"Where does this arrogant person come from!"
Several lieutenants from the headquarters present suddenly stood up and looked at Lafayette coldly.
Lafayette simply ignored the lieutenant generals and turned to Admiral Sengoku, who had the power to make the decision.
"Devil Sheriff Lafayette."
Sengoku looked at Lafayette calmly.
If it weren't for Maude, he would probably need someone to remind him to know Lafayette's background.
Lafayette grinned and said, "My captain doesn't like the title 'Devil Sheriff' very much, so he gave me another title - Guide to the Underworld. Please bear this in mind."
Warring States' eyes suddenly became sharp, and his momentum burst out. He said in a deep voice: "Don't be too arrogant, little devil..."
"Hoho, I'm sorry, but my business doesn't matter."
Lafayette was not at a disadvantage in the face of this aura, and still had a calm expression on his face.
Lieutenant General He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lafayette, and said calmly: "Lafayette, you deliberately took the risk at this juncture to recommend Maud at this Shichibukai meeting."
"correct."
Lafayette looked carefully at Lieutenant General He, who spoke sharply, straightened his body subconsciously, and said: "I'm here this time..."
The words stopped abruptly at this point.
But it was Doflamingo who suddenly took action, bending and flicking a bullet line wrapped in armament colors at him.
Lafayette's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly pulled out half of his sword and held it across his chest.
The armed colored bullet thread that shot through like a bullet hit Lafayette's sword hard, making a harsh sound in vain.
Otherwise, Lafayette is rock solid.
Doflamingo looked at Lafayette coldly and said in a cold voice, "You've made some progress."
Lafayette smiled slightly and slowly sheathed his sword.
Everyone in front of the round table looked at Lafayette who was calm in the face of danger with different expressions.
Especially the several lieutenant generals of the headquarters who had attacked Lafayette earlier were secretly frightened.
At this time, they had already recognized Lafayette's identity—Bacardi Mode's subordinate.
"Such a guy is willing to be inferior to others!"
You know, if these people here form a group to go to the new world, they can cause a big earthquake just by stamping their feet.
But Lafayette was able to be so calm and composed when facing such a formation. Not to mention the ability to come here unnoticed and be able to resist Doflamingo's attack. It's already extraordinary.
But such people are willing to be driven by Bacardi Mod.
So, what about Bacardi Mod...
The lieutenant generals frowned and looked extremely serious.
In their opinion, the more extraordinary Lafayette was, the more extraordinary Maud, whom they had not formally come into contact with, was.
Crocodile Crocodile, who was sitting in the studio and with many elite cadres, stared at Lafayette, who looked outstanding as soon as he appeared on the stage.
For no reason, he felt a little jealous towards Maud, whom he had never met before, having a subordinate like Lafayette.
Surrounded by everyone's attention, Lafayette was not affected by Doflamingo's sudden attack and continued what he had just said calmly.
"As she said, I am here this time to recommend to you the most suitable candidate to take over the position of Moonlight Moria Shichibukai. That is... my captain, Bacardi Mod!"
“Furfur…”
Without waiting for anyone to react, Doflamingo stood up first, exuding cold and terrifying murderous intent.
Chapter 163: Never give up even if you die
Ever since Doflamingo came to the conference room, he would always have a smile on his face while talking.
But with the arrival of Lafayette, the smile on Doflamingo's face gradually disappeared, and was instead covered by cold murderous intent.
The winter-like murderous intent was vented around, like a trickle of water flowing everywhere. It first lightly passed through the senses of everyone present, and then converged on Lafayette, who was standing in front of the window sill.
This move is undoubtedly sending a painless message to everyone at the round table - don't interfere.
Even if Doflamingo didn't do this, the other Shichibukai would have stayed out of the matter, so how could they take action.
Even if Lafayette blows up the walls of this room and then appears in an extremely arrogant manner, what does it have to do with them
This is not their territory, and they are not the ones being disgraced.
But for the Navy, Lafayette's move through the heavy defenses and then breaking into the conference room with such a light gesture was undoubtedly a heavy black footprint on this very symbolic holy place.
However, regarding the arrival of Lafayette, the three mainstays of the older generation of the Navy, including Sengoku, Garp, and Crane, acted very calmly.
It seemed that the person who broke into the conference room was not Lafayette, the so-called guide to the underworld under Maude, but a small animal.
On the contrary, several other lieutenant generals from the headquarters who attended the Shichibukai Conference immediately entered combat mode. Just waiting for an order, they would attack Lafayette in an instant.
But Warring States did not issue an order, so they could only press the handle of the sword and maintain a posture that could draw the sword at any time.
"Doflamingo, this is no place for you to act recklessly."
When Doflamingo stood up and vented his murderous intentions wantonly, Sengoku glanced sideways, his tone was very calm, but it revealed an undoubted warning.
Doflamingo did not go to see Sengoku, but stared coldly at Lafayette, who had a calm expression, and said coldly: "Marshal Sengoku, I have always followed the 'rules'. "
Before he finished speaking, Doflamingo suddenly crossed his arms and waved, and the marbles on both sides of his body were assimilated into a tangle of white threads and sharp spears in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a sound broke through the air!
The tip of the white-lined spear, which was dyed pitch black with the aura of armed domineering, flew into the air and stabbed Lafayette who was standing in front of the window sill.
At the same time, Doflamingo's voice sounded: "I'm just helping your navy drive away cats and dogs who casually break into important occasions. How can you do it randomly? Right?"
“…”
Warring States' face was expressionless and his eyes turned to the window sill.
“Hoo ho…”
Seeing the armed white-line pointed gun coming from the sky, Lafayette's eyes narrowed.
In this case, the best option is to step back decisively, then jump out of the window and fall to the ground to avoid Doflamingo's attack, then manifest his wings and fly back to the room.
However, Lafayette was clear…
Once he takes a step back, it means the loss of [the right to speak].
Therefore, in the face of Doflamingo's murderous attack, even if he was seriously injured or even died on the spot, he could not show any signs of timidity.
No matter what, he must not let his captain's face suffer even the slightest defeat here.
In the flash of lightning, Lafayette didn't hesitate at all, didn't give in, and instantly entered the beast-shaped form of the animal-type fruit of the phantom beast species.
Suddenly, Lafayette's appearance and posture tended to be delicate and elegant, and the upper body of his body developed obvious feminine characteristics.
Before everyone could fully see the changes in Lafayette's appearance and body, Lafayette suddenly squatted down, and the pure white wings stretched out from behind were covered in armed colors, and immediately wrapped tightly around his body.
The white-line pointed spears that struck from the left and right sides stabbed Lafayette's wings covered in armed colors.
Poof!
Along with a dull thumping sound, several blood arrows spattered from the wings that were stabbed by the white pointed spear.
Pieces of feathers stained with blood were blown away by the impact just now, and slowly floated down from the air.
Lafayette was injured, but he did not retreat even a centimeter.
“…”
Looking at this scene, several blue veins popped up on Doflamingo's forehead.
He knew that he had missed an excellent opportunity to rip off one of Maud's [left and right arms].
"So brave."
Doflamingo said coldly.
He did not continue his attack on Lafayette.
Because the eyes of Warring States, Garp, and even Lieutenant General He had fallen on him.
The meaning is self-evident.
Lafayette took off his blood-stained wings, and his appearance and even figure were no longer as charming and elegant as before, as if the change just now was just a flash in the pan.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Blood flowed from his back and dripped onto the ground. It only took a moment for a small pool of blood to form.
Lafayette didn't take the injury seriously, and even ignored Doflamingo's murderous intention.
Even though he was injured, his demeanor was still calm and calm.
Then, he looked at the slightly solemn-looking Marshal of the Warring States Period, patiently waiting for an answer that would allow the topic to continue.
But the Warring States Marshal seemed to be thinking about it and did not give a reply in a short time.
He Zhong clasped his hands against his chin, cast a slightly scrutinizing gaze on Lafayette, and pointedly said: "You are really desperate to protect Maude's face."
The eyes of everyone present were once again focused on Lafayette.
The action just now of not giving in at all even if it meant death was indeed inconsistent.
Now it seems that the reason is just as Lieutenant General He said.
"To be supported by such a guy, Bacardi Mod's ability..."
Sand Crocodile Crocodile thought coldly in his heart.
Jinbei and Hawkeye gave Lafayette a more or less high look.
Bartholomew Bear has an expressionless, sculptural face.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lafayette just smiled.
That posture caused two more veins to appear on Doflamingo's forehead, and he almost couldn't resist the thought of taking action again.
"Click."
The sound of Garp crushing the senbei with force reached Doflamingo's ears at the right time.
“嘁…”
Doflamingo's face darkened.
If the blow just now could knock Lafayette out of the room, even if it couldn't make Lafayette lose his life on the spot, it would at least destroy Modena's plan to recommend himself as a Shichibukai.
In this way, he could somewhat relieve his depressed state of mind caused by Maud.
But the result is...
When he thought of this, Doflamingo used the cover of his sunglasses to let the killing intent flow in his eyes.
He is in a bad mood now.
However, Sengoku and the others had no time to take care of his feelings.
