Chapter 2, also known as Flamingo
... ...
This time it has been settled, and I heard that you will be given a holiday. Kuzan glanced at her and gently rubbed his finger on the little ball of fur's round and chubby belly. Instantly, the little ball of fur abandoned its owner and jumped onto Kuzan's head, rolling around comfortably.
This is a world enveloped by the ocean, where most of the land consists of islands. The entire ocean is divided into four parts: East, West, South, and North, by a continent that runs from north to south and a maritime area known as the 'Great Maritime Route'
Walking down the long street, from bustling to desolate, the sounds of laughter emanate from the tavern ahead. A few burly men, scattered at the entrance, lean against barrels of wine, and upon seeing Mo Mo's figure, their eyes instantly light up, hearts popping up like two red dots, and they whistle suggestively, "Beauty, come over and play with us~"
"Hahaha... I know you, the youngest female rear admiral in naval history, the granddaughter of the legendary hero Admiral Karp, the cherished young lady of the navy." The man's laughter was somewhat perverse, somewhat strange, somewhat alluring, and somewhat dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Mo Mo already had a rough idea of what they wanted her to do upon returning to the Warring States period
Ying! The little fluffball joyfully echoed.
The small, pale yellow fluffball on her shoulder, with its curious black bean-like eyes, looked left and right, and upon smelling the snacks from the roadside stall, it immediately became excited and began to chirp eagerly, displaying a true foodie demeanor
I am Monkey D. Momo. Momo stood in front of him, and this man was exceptionally tall, making Momo appear even more delicate and petite in comparison
Momo's response was to execute a 360° rotation at his waist
Since the execution of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger twenty-two years ago, during which he uttered those words that stirred the hearts of many, the world has entered a new era of piracy. This era is marked by the emergence of powerful individuals, many of whom possess the abilities of Devil Fruits. In response to the overwhelming situation, the government implemented a new policy—selecting seven formidable pirates to be recognized as government-sanctioned pirates, along with their respective crews. Their mission is to suppress certain pirates within their territorial waters and, when necessary, respond to summons from the Navy, thereby establishing an ambiguous relationship with the government, one that is neither entirely adversarial nor entirely friendly, which could be described as a cooperative relationship.
How long? Mo Mo's heart fluttered. That old vampire from the Warring States period never let her take a break when he had nothing to do, always bringing a group of little soldiers around. However, if Mo Mo knew the price she would have to pay after encountering that arrogant man this time, she would probably bombard the Warring States' Marshal's residence.
Indeed, a very arrogant pirate captain, who, like Dracule Mihawk, scoffs at the title of Warlord of the Sea and is unwilling to accept it. Kuzan feels overwhelmed; today's pirates are increasingly arrogant, and the most troublesome among them is this one. One of the conditions offered by the government even includes making him the king of an island nation, yet that guy laughs arrogantly, claiming he has too much money and that he will buy the kingdom himself. He can be compared to that troublesome fellow, Mo Mo, in terms of how exasperating he is.
Tight black jeans paired with ankle-high boots that rise 10 centimeters above the ankle, a fitted white T-shirt, a cream-colored hat atop her head, and her smooth black hair cascading down her shoulders. She carries a light blue spotted shoulder bag, presenting a very down-to-earth appearance. However, her expression is slightly aloof, and her demeanor exudes an elegance that gives the impression she is wearing a luxurious gown fit for nobility. Her exquisite and ethereal features evoke a sense of unreality, drawing countless gazes and hearts as she walks by.

It is probably about the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the King
She fed the last small piece of meat into the little furball's mouth, then discarded the trash, walking towards Doflamingo with an air of indifference towards those around her, her steps graceful and steady, exuding an undeniable aura.
Mo Mo glanced at it and ignored it. The little fluffball immediately began to act cute and nuzzled against her delicate, fair cheek. Mo Mo helplessly paused her steps and walked over to a stall selling barbecue. "Please give me a portion, and kindly cut it into small pieces."
At this moment, Mo Mo is located on an island in the East China Sea called Shen Gu Town
Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can be considered a highly honorable achievement, as it not only frees one from the pursuit and bounties of the Navy but also grants numerous privileges. Most importantly, it serves as a testament to one's strength. However, not all pirates acknowledge this status, which is also the reason why Admiral Sengoku wants Momo to return.
Don Quixote ... ... Doflamingo? The bounty below is 340 million Berries, captain of the Donquixote Pirates
Mo Mo raised her head, revealing a beautifully enchanting face, which immediately elicited a gasp from the crowd
Mo Mo could sense the curious gaze directed at her through the purple sunglasses
Mo Mo's expression was indifferent, her gaze fixed directly on the man sitting at the front counter. He was dressed in an exceptionally eye-catching pink feather coat, and purple sunglasses obscured a pair of sharp eyes. His golden crew cut revealed a handsome and wild face, and the smirk at the corner of his mouth appeared arrogant, annoying, and sinister, as if he were the most free-spirited person living life on his own terms, someone to be envied to the utmost.
However, she seemed to turn a blind eye, or rather, she had become accustomed to being the center of attention
The stall owner immediately nodded and bowed, skillfully preparing the barbecue for her. After receiving the payment, he noticed that Mo Mo was still trying to go further inside, so the kind-hearted owner quickly lowered his voice and said: "Miss, please do not go in any further, it is the territory of pirates!"
Don Quixote. Doflamingo, bounty of 340 million Berries, 37 years old, alias - Flamingo
Mo Mo's expression was faint and indifferent, yet she paid them no mind. As she approached the tavern, she turned around, and the drunken pirates immediately lunged at her. No one could tell exactly when she made her move; they only saw the two men at the entrance being thrown far away, crashing into a room and creating a thunderous noise that caused everyone inside to stop what they were doing and look at Mo Mo, who appeared at the door.
Mo Mo nodded lightly, yet continued to feed pieces of meat into her tender yellow mouth with a delicate wooden fork, all the while walking gracefully deeper into the town. Her original purpose was to seek out Don Quixote, who was said to be here for a respite. Doflamingo. This was a task exchanged by Lord Warring States during his six-month vacation.
... ...
"I don't know," Kuzan said with a yawn. "How about we take a nap at sea?" He wished he could lie down and sleep all day long, until the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the sun and moon lost their light
A pirate bounty notice was handed over, and Mo Mo took it. An extremely arrogant face came into view, with a golden crew cut, wearing purple sunglasses, and dressed in an exaggerated pink feather coat. The features were not clearly visible, but just by looking at the wicked and arrogant smile at the corner of his mouth, one could tell what kind of person he was.
"I refuse." Without a second thought, Mo Mo directly declined. She had put in so much effort back then to persuade Uncle Mihawk to accept the title of Warlord of the Sea, and now here comes someone who is clearly not to be trifled with. She would rather die than comply!
