The Path of the Great Sovereign 195 The Plan

'As a former Celestial Dragon Doflamingo has the secrets we need to make the World Government suffer devastating consequences if this knowledge is spread or if someone uses it to attack them.'

As The meeting location came into view Tatsuo saw the three of his allies seated around a campfire as they drank sake and chatted.

Dumping Doflamingo to the side Tatsuo joined them at the empty seat, he poured himself some sake then took a generous gulp.

While the three were confused about why Tatsuo brought Doflamingo with him they had a tacit understanding that whatever the reason it was important enough to show his hidden Alliance.

"As you all know Doflamingo used to be a Celestial Dragon due to certain circumstances his title was taken away by the world Nobles and he resorted to piracy a well-known tale. However, I'm sure that you all know very well what Doflamingo was doing on Dressrosa yet, have you ever thought why no one from the world government ever interfered?"

Taking another drink from his cup Tatsuo let his words permeate through the air getting the gears of his allies' minds moving. He watched as they all seem to come to the same conclusion, whatever it is the world government didn't want it to get out.

"As a Celestial Dragon, you are given certain privileges and are informed on many key things. So I brought Doflamingo here today so that each of you will understand why I feel so strongly about the world government."

Doflamingo was picked up by Whitebeard and thrown into the embers of the fire yet despite the obvious pain he didn't make a sound.

Tatsuo continued drinking his sake as he already did his part; the rest was up to the three Yonko before him.

Ace was the first to make a move as he felt it was time to make himself a bit useful. Looking at Doflamingo, Ace understood that this was not a man that could be broken easily.

'Doflamingo survived being expelled from the so-called paradise of Mary Geoise, he made his way up the ladder to once again lord over many.'

Ace cast his gaze over at Tatsuo.

'Uncle Lion would probably make him understand that there are far worse things than death, I remember being put in what he called an 'Air Vacuum' and it felt as if my body was being destroyed.'

Raising one of his hands Ace ignited a flame that floated slightly above the surface of his palm.

'Uncle Lion also explained to me that heat itself does not have a limit the same way cold doesn't have a limit and Flames don't always have to be Hot'

The Flame in his hand changed from the cooler red color to a bright White. The Flame was so hot that the Sake in everyone's cup except Tatsuo's evaporated.

'He also mentioned that there are certain areas of the body that should and should not be targeted, and there is a difference between someone telling you something to survive and telling you the truth.'

Ace looked at Doflamingo and began his first interrogation.

One hour turned into 20 before Doflamingo told the group exactly what they wanted to hear.

"So that's how it is."

After Ace burned Doflamingo to ash everyone practically had that same reaction.

"Now you all understand the Why the world government needs to end I will tell you the How we will get this done, your roles during the takeover and after the takeover."

Everyone listened carefully as this would affect their livelihood.

"The Age of Piracy needs to end and that is a fact. While you may not be the reason behind it, Pirates cause more suffering than good in a lot of cases, therefore, you 3 and eventually Luffy will become the New Military force of my government."

Everyone looked confused but Tatsuo continued.

"The regime of the World Government has tainted the Ideology of many Marines and I cannot use all of them after it ends. Of course, there is more to the plan than that but that is the overall objective."

Whitebeard and Ace were contemplating the idea while Shanks spoke.

"I became a pirate because I felt the way the world government handles things was not correct, World Nobles... Slaves... Human shops... Against the "purity" of these "upper classes", the villains of the world look positively humane in comparison. It's because the world's in the hands of scum like them that it's all screwed to hell... I mean, we're not the nicest of guys, but at least we're honest about it."

Tatsuo looked at Shanks surprised while Whitebeard and Ace nodded in agreement.

"Years ago when I was a member of the Rock pirates we ended up saving more people than harming them due to the actions of World Nobles."

"In that case, I think we should get the revolutionary Army involved."

An Eerie Silence transpired as everyone looked towards Tatsuo.

"While Dragon and I don't have the greatest relationship at the end of the day we are still Brothers. If I make everything clear to him we will have one more ally in this war against the world. Not only that but this ally brings with him a coalition of nation-states with a similar outlook! What more could we ask for?"
