It was the month of June and the [Colosseum Pirate Tournament], as Doffy named it, was ready to take off. Everything was ready, prepared to go live tomorrow.

Today, the important guests and participants were arriving. A lot of the participants had come a week prior, deciding to check the beauty of the Country of Romance. Dressrosa's natural beauty made it a great tourist spot, so they spent their last week here.

All-Star King, with a small crew of Beast Pirates, had come a few days ago. It was the same day as Charlotte Smoothie and a small crew of Big Mom Pirates. There was a slight skirmish between the two crews, but Doffy was prepared for such incidents – he had to be if he wanted to stay alive. So that problem was taken care of.

A lot of the strong participants, such as Chinjao the Drill and his grandkids, a giant from Elbalf - Hajrudin, and the Pirate Prince - Cavendish, have already appeared here. They were enjoying their stay, basking in the luxury of Dressrosa.

In fact, Doffy was notified about the presence of the "Blind Samurai", a wandering monk-like man, who was also present in the country. Though his sources said it's unlikely that this man would join the tournament.

Sadly, the one Doffy was waiting for was yet to arrive. Sitting inside the large indoor pool, as his servants washed his body, Doffy couldn't help but frown, thinking why Tsunade Senju was yet to come.

He had received confirmation from her that she would come, and she even said that Boa Hancock – the woman whose powers were much more dangerous for Doffy – would come too. Yet, they were nowhere to be seen.

"Doffy,"

Suddenly, a soft voice called. Doffy found none other than his sweet Viola, entering the bath through the main door. She wore a fuchsia dress, unlike all the naked girls here, and hid her expression under a veil of indifference as she leaned over to his ears.

"Tsunade Senju entered the country two hours ago, and we have also spotted Boa Hancock's ship near the vicinity."

"Oh?"

Doflamingo couldn't help but grin, even as a servant began to gently scrub between his legs. He chuckled.

"What about Hashirama Senju? Any sign of him at all?"

"No, we haven't seen him. Highly doubtful that he would come, as our spy in Fishman Island hasn't spotted him crossing over."

"Hmm,"

Doflamingo found that pitiful. It would have been much better to take care of both of the siblings at once. But oh well, as that boy was too weak to even cross the sea, he would have to wait.

Shaking his head in pity, Doffy glanced at Viola, checking out her curves. He licked his lips slowly, meeting eyes with her, as he felt something rise between his legs. Well, it had already risen from before, thanks to the hands of his cheeky servant girl, but it grew a bit more after seeing her.

Yet, meeting her gaze, stone solid, he just chuckled and shrugged.

"All right, all right. Go and play a dancer. If you find anything interesting, let me know. Try to keep an eye on Boa Hancock for a bit, I am curious to know if she has any plans for this thing."

Boa Hancock was a dangerous card in this whole game. She had a power much similar to Sugar, something that can one-shot him no matter what. However, that just meant breaking her and making her his sea-stone-collared slave, as she was fated to be, was just that more exciting. Just thinking about her on his feet, naked and used, sent a chill of thrill down his spine.
