Chapter 37 The King of the Celestial Dragons!
The night sky of this world is very peculiar. Although scholars have determined through astronomical observation that there are as many as eight Satellites orbiting this Blue Planet, when night falls, only the Moon emits the brightest light in the Galaxy.
"Fufufufufu——"
Doflamingo stepped out of the stopped bubble Cable Car, a gust of cold Night Wind blew his pink Flamingo Overcoat.
However, he discovered that there wasn't even a single Holy Land Garrison guard on duty nearby. This made him chuckle in a low voice while observing the Giant Staircase leading to the Upper Levels in front of him.
"Although so many years have passed, this place really hasn't changed at all. But can Power really be immortal for thousands of years like these Stone Steps?"
"Let's go, the adults are waiting for you."
At this time, the CP0 member, White-Clothed Person, who had specially invited Doflamingo from North Blue, urged him. Immediately after, he passed over the former's shoulder and took the lead, stepping onto the Giant Staircase.
A few months later, two hundred kings from the Affiliated Nations will also walk through here, and then gather together in the World Conference Hall inside Pangea Castle to discuss and decide major events concerning the entire World.
At this moment, only the two of them, one in front and one behind.
Reaching the top of the Giant Staircase, they arrived at the real Mary Geoise. This place called 'Holy Land', even the Ground underfoot was clean and tidy, it seemed like every single Gravel had been washed.
Doflamingo raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Although it was Night now, the countless Lights had already illuminated the entire Mary Geoise as if it were daytime. Even the rows of Woods and River were shimmering with a faint layer of Golden Light.
This was magnificent and resplendent, brightly lit in the true sense of the word!
Seeing this scene, his Body was trembling faintly, because he was trying hard to suppress the anger and desire in his heart. He originally should be living here, high above, doing whatever he wants, looking down on all Humans below.
Although only a few short years, he had to say that Doflamingo's happiest Childhood was actually in this place.
Here, servants bowed their heads before him, Slaves knelt before him, delicacies that he couldn't finish even if he changed the variety every day, endless Wealth that he didn't need to worry about Money, and supreme Power to kill any life except for his 'Clan' at any time.
These, originally all belonged to him!
Until that extremely stupid idiot destroyed everything and took away everything with his ridiculous naivety. His mother died because of him, and his younger brother also disappeared afterwards.
Although he personally executed that bastard back then, what was lost could never be regained.
Doflamingo followed CP0 and walked onto the 'Automatic Elevator', letting the underground Slaves get up late at night for him and desperately push the heavy Stone Path for him.
Regarding all of this, the former actually didn't know, but based on his Personality, presumably even if he knew, he would only feel enjoyment and have no other thoughts.
Because, he, originally should be high above!
On the way, Doflamingo saw from afar the Great Iron Gate leading to the 'Land of Gods'. The Holy Land Garrison at that place were still on duty.
He knew, his former home was there.
But he only glanced at it, his final Gaze turned to the huge ancient castle getting closer and closer, Pangea Castle, which represented the center of World Power!
"Fufufufufu, hope you guys won't disappoint me this time." Doflamingo subconsciously pursed his lips, a little nervous.
He was only seventeen years old this year. Whether it was temperament, sophistication, or Strength, he was still very immature. Even his experience was limited to that small piece of land in North Blue.
Not long after, Doflamingo arrived in front of Pangea Castle. The huge main gate made of steel slowly rose.
To be honest, having arrived here, everything became unfamiliar. After all, how could he have come to this place when he was a child? So he could only be vigilant while silently following CP0, and at the same time, firmly remember the nearby Environment in his heart.
This city within a city, the Space inside is quite large, but just don't know why, he still didn't see a single patrolling or guarding Soldier, and it was very quiet.
Until he was led to a cold, dark Empty Great Hall. Only the Golden Red Throne on the three-tiered magnificent stone platform was shining brightly under the Moonlight directly shining down.
But, there was no one on it either!
"Isn't it to meet the Five Elders, huh?" Doflamingo had just scanned the surroundings, and when he turned his head to ask, he immediately discovered that the other person was gone!
[Bang—] At this moment, the Great Iron Gate behind him heavily closed. This stimulated his whole Body. His five fingers became claws, his Body bent, and he instantly entered combat state from head to toe. Even the Haki that he had just mastered not long ago was ready to be unleashed.
Doflamingo now seriously suspected that this was a Trap, a Celestial Dragon's Trap targeting himself!
He was like a trapped wildcat, baring fangs and brandishing claws, closely surveying every move around him. Even more, there were slender Threads faintly fluttering between his fingers.
The Atmosphere became very stiff and awkward, it was as if the Air were frozen at this moment, but time still slowly passed by like flowing water.
Until, Doflamingo looked up again at the Void Throne truly high above his head.
"Hmm!" But just this one glance shocked his whole Body to freeze there, it was as if he had been subjected to some kind of stasis effect. The eye sockets under his Sunglasses also widened to the maximum, his pupils were full of the Figure sitting on the Throne at some unknown time.
This was not the most terrifying thing for him. The key was that when his Gaze met the Eyesight of the one above, his spirit was as if it had received a substantial invisible impact. An extremely strong sense of fear constantly washed over his heart.
He only felt that he was spinning wildly in a golden ripple World. The surrounding Air was vibrating and gradually becoming heavy.
Every muscle in his Body was trembling painfully. In addition to his spirit being inexplicably shocked, Doflamingo couldn't even last for two seconds. With a bang, he knelt down on both knees, only his arms desperately propped up the cold Ground, gritting his teeth and tried to raise his head.
But the invisible Heavy Pressure on his Body made his Vein-bulging head only able to bow, staring intently at the spotless precious red carpet in front of him.
Who is this person? Five Elders? How could there be such a terrifying person? Just one Eyesight made me kneel and unable to get up?
"Little Donquixote Family guy, it is Mu, who wants to see you."
As soon as the voice fell, Doflamingo only felt that the pressure on his Body had lessened a lot.
But when he was panting heavily, covered in cold sweat, and preparing to get up, the Air on his Body was like a solidified invisible mountain, motionless.
This made him only able to continue maintaining the kneeling posture, unless he was willing to lie on the Ground completely.
"You, you on earth... who are you?!"
Doflamingo laboriously uttered word after word. That feeling of fear surrounding his heart really made him extremely painful.
As for the Heavy Pressure on his Body, he also discovered that as long as he didn't have the thought of getting up, the Air was still ordinary Air.
Such magical means made him subconsciously feel that this was some kind of Devil Fruit Ability!
"Mu is your King."
Extremely indifferent words came down from the Void Throne and echoed in the Empty Great Hall.
"The King of the Celestial Dragons!"
