"Fufufufu~ This octopus is truly observant... He must have witnessed many tragedies alongside the world nobles."
Doflamingo laughed when he saw the heads of the residents hanging down upon hearing the title of the world nobles.
Being a former world noble, Doflamingo knew firsthand the despicability of the celestial dragons even as a kid.
One day, he desired to reclaim his identity as a noble of the world. However, after becoming a student of Rob, he realized the extent of his contempt for the world.
Being a celestial dragon was no different from being a pig waiting to be slaughtered in this chaotic world.
"Brother... Why aren't all celestial dragons like my father and mother? Why do they treat people like grass? Look at how terrified Hatchan was while warning Luffy and the others," asked Rosinante with a sad expression.
"...," Enel listened quietly from the side.
"Simply because they believe themselves to be gods, above all humans, the creators of the world... But in reality, none of them are cultured enough to see the truth of the world."
"Fufufufu~!!! They're just human-shaped livestock and absolute authorities—well, their authority isn't absolute, they are still considered toys in the hands of the true gods out there."
"Does that mean I would have become like them if the plot had gone as planned?" Enel spoke at that moment.
"You cannot compare yourself to those pigs... You possessed some power that allowed you to defeat everyone and gave you the arrogance to believe you were a god. That is entirely different from the celestial dragons. They are simply weaklings that a child without any training could defeat."

"Don't even think about it~~~~!!!" Usopp shouted upon seeing Zoro wanting to go out for a stroll.
"Don't go wandering off, you useless idiot~~~!!! This is a huge freaking archipelago, we'll never find you!!!" Even Sanji couldn't bear to witness this scene.
"Like hell, I'd get lost!!!" Zoro exploded, shouting in anger.
"Who the hell could get lost in a place ?! They've got numbers written on every single tree - worst-case, I'd just have to ask someone the way back!"
"Even a kid couldn't get lost around here!"
Zoro pointed to the number on the tree trunk behind him and spoke in a convincing manner that convinced everyone, but he didn't notice the bubble that covered the number four.
"Ahh... I never knew you had so much sense..." Usopp exclaimed in surprise.
"Sorry, I doubted you... Go ahead, have fun!" Even Sanji felt guilty and apologized. "Don't forget to ask for directions!"
"Don't trust yourself!!"
Despite that, Sanji and Usopp still warned him not to trust his sense of direction.
Zoro turned around angrily and left.
"... Honestly, there's no problem... All I gotta do is remember the number on this tree right here... 'No. 1', huh..."
Zoro believed that the number he saw was "No. 1," but unfortunately for him, the actual number was:
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Ha~ No, you fool! Check the number again!"
Arashi was almost fainting from embarrassment at this moment.
His beloved son was exceptional in almost everything, with an imposing appearance, immense strength, and a resolute personality. He possessed all the qualities of the second-in-command in the future Pirate King's ship... but!
"Why is he so terrible at navigating to this extent?"
"Hahahaha!" At that moment, Ushimaru burst into laughter due to the amusing scene he had just read.
"Bft-hahaha!" Even Terra, his wife, found the comical scene entertaining.
"This child, he's bound to get lost again. I fear he might encounter a celestial dragon... I bet he would cut him in half if he saw him kill someone." Dr. Hiriluk commented with a helpless expression.
"As if you're foreseeing it, Hiriluk-san. My son would actually do it..."
"Trouble is surely coming..."
"Look, Hatchan is still advising them to avoid causing trouble with the celestial dragons... Poor guy doesn't realize his efforts are in vain... Seriously, did Luffy tell him 'Sure'?... Hahaha!"
Hiriluk laughed because he knew that Luffy would never do as Hatchan said.
"What a beautiful place~ Sabaody Archipelago."
"My dear, will you take me there for a tour? I heard that after the Hunters' Guild took over the archipelago, it was cleansed of all the negative things that were there and became truly a paradise-like place."
Terra said, stars twinkling in her eyes... Just like her son in the manga, she also wanted to have a tour of the beautiful Bubble Island.
"Of course, my dear~ We'll all go once Mom wakes up!"
The instant transport room shimmered, and Rob emerged in the art store of "Kuri."
"Hmm? Two more chapters?"
Rob noticed the system shop's notification and was surprised to see two more chapters from the weekly One Piece manga update piled up in his store.
He immediately bought them without hesitation.
"I'll pay a visit to Oden before reading these..."
That's how Rob decided to postpone his personal manga session in order to take a trip to visit Oden.
He had already finished dealing with the Linlin matter, so he moved to the closest point to Elbaf, and from there, he would go directly to the Giant Island.
But before that, he needed to find out what happened with Sabo in Marigoa... It was evident that the events there would be significant enough not to overlook.
"Anyway, it seems Luffy and his crew left the ship in that remaining place for two years... I'm sure none of the readers would expect something ..."
Seeing how much the readers enjoyed the manga's appetizer - the tour of Sabaody - made Rob feel uneasy. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noᴠelfire.net
