After the deal was made, the Five Elders ordered Kizaru with grim expressions to return with 3 billion Berries and deliver them to Caelan.

With the help of Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit, he arrived before Caelan with 3 billion Berries in just one afternoon.

Once again, Caelan connected with the Five Elders through the video Den Den Mushi, and together with Kizaru, he entered the prison where Doflamingo was being held.

Caelan walked ahead, while Kizaru carried the boxes of Berries about ten meters behind him.

"Admiral Kizaru, are you so afraid of me?"

Caelan asked with a smile.

"This is not fear, but courtesy toward the strong."

Kizaru shook his head and said seriously.

The Five Elders watching from the video Den Den Mushi had dark lines on their faces as they looked at Kizaru's cowardly appearance.

"Then consider it courtesy."

Caelan chuckled and stopped teasing him.

Taking the lead, Caelan entered the cell where Doflamingo was imprisoned and immediately drew Doflamingo's attention.

"Hey, hey, has Caelan-sama finally made up his mind?"

"The conditions are the same as before. Just hand that woman Violet over to me, and I will be loyal to you."

Doflamingo was in shackles and looked shabby, but he still laughed as he said this.

Caelan hadn't acted against him these past few days, which made him more confident of his own value.

Caelan needs me, he thought, and he needs my power as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Doflamingo even looked at Caelan provocatively, fully believing in his own worth.

Caelan ignored Doflamingo and spoke instead to the video Den Den Mushi in his hand.

If Doflamingo hadn't caused so much trouble and had been obedient, Caelan might have considered taking him in.

But to think about threatening him? That was asking for death.

What he liked most was saying no to the self-righteous.

The Five Elders stared coldly at Doflamingo through the Den Den Mushi.

Many years ago, he had used the secret of the Celestial Dragons' national treasure to threaten them into making him a Warlord. Now he had passed that secret on to Caelan. His crime was unforgivable.

"Five Elders!"

Doflamingo screamed.

He never expected that Caelan would be talking to the Five Elders. Aren't they enemies?

At that moment, Kizaru also lazily walked into the prison and stood before Doflamingo.

"Admiral Kizaru!"

Doflamingo's pupils shrank. He felt a terrible premonition.

The Five Elders were watching through the Den Den Mushi, and an admiral had personally come.

This situation was far from what he expected.

"You sold me out to the World Government?"

Doflamingo asked cautiously.

"Yes."

Caelan nodded and answered calmly.

"You sold one of the Warlords and the chance to control the Donquixote family to the World Government?"

"You wouldn't even trade that woman Violet for the entire Donquixote family!"

Doflamingo asked in disbelief.

That was the strength of the entire Donquixote family, the strongest crew under the Four Emperors.

Was such value not even worth anything to Caelan?

It couldn't be just for a woman like Violet!

"You think too highly of yourself, Doflamingo."

Caelan looked down at Doflamingo as if he were an insect.

"Violet is very good. I like her very much. She is more valuable than you and the entire Donquixote family."

"And Sugar isn't bad good too."

As he said this, Caelan licked his lips with a satisfied expression.

"You!"

Doflamingo suddenly became ferocious, glaring at Caelan with bloodshot eyes.

Violet was the lover he had raised to resemble his mother, the reason he was so persistent.

He also regarded Sugar and Monet as family.

"You will regret this decision. If you sell me to the World Government, you will gain an enemy far more dangerous than before!"

Doflamingo spoke every word with such force that his teeth nearly broke.

He had already decided that no matter why the World Government bought him, he would use their power to cause endless trouble for Caelan.

"You seem to have misunderstood. What the World Government has bought is your death."

Caelan smiled at Doflamingo.

Under Doflamingo's astonished gaze, Caelan asked the Five Elders through the Den Den Mushi, "Shall I do it, or shall Kizaru?"

"Let Kizaru do it. Let him confirm Doflamingo's death."

Saint Saturn's face was gloomy. He was eager for Doflamingo's death.

"Then, Admiral Kizaru, please."

Caelan gestured, inviting Kizaru to step forward in front of Doflamingo.

"Goodbye, Doflamingo."

A laser gathered on Kizaru's finger, golden light shining into Doflamingo's eyes.

"Wait, wait!"

Sensing imminent death, Doflamingo shouted frantically, "Five Elders, I have never offended you! Why do you want to kill me? Keep me alive, and I'll fight against Caelan with you!"

"You made the biggest mistake by leaking the secret of the national treasure to Caelan!"

The Five Elders glared at Doflamingo with a deathly stare. In their eyes, he was already a dead man.

It was useless for Doflamingo to say anything. He had leaked the most important secret of the World Government to their greatest enemy.

"I didn't! I didn't leak it!"

Upon hearing the Five Elders' words, Doflamingo was completely bewildered.

From beginning to end, he had never mentioned the national treasure of the Celestial Dragons to Caelan.

Even the Five Elders noticed something was wrong. Doflamingo's expression didn't seem like he was pretending.

At that moment, Caelan muttered softly, "It's a mysterious and powerful weapon. Incredibly strong, but consumes a lot of energy."

Hearing this, the Five Elders became furious. What Caelan described was exactly the characteristics of the national treasure. They had almost believed Doflamingo's lies.

Doflamingo was stunned. He had never said anything. Caelan knew it all on his own!

Seeing Doflamingo's bewildered look, the Five Elders became even more enraged. Even now, he was still pretending.

"Kizaru, kill him!"

The Five Elders gave the order impatiently.

In an instant, a golden laser pierced Doflamingo's head, ending the life of the Heavenly Yaksha.

At the same time, Caelan turned on the video and recorded the moment Kizaru killed Doflamingo.

Doflamingo, with his thoughts in chaos, died with his eyes wide open, his mouth still moving, "I really didn't say it…"

After witnessing Doflamingo's death, the Five Elders hung up the Den Den Mushi. Kizaru also quickly left, leaving behind only the 3 billion Berries.

In the cell, only Caelan and Doflamingo's body remained.

Caelan squatted in front of the dead Doflamingo and smiled, "I know you didn't tell me. I knew it from the script."

The one who wronged you knows better than anyone how wronged you are.

However, even if Caelan told the truth, the Five Elders would never believe it.

Who would believe that scripts exist in the real world?

Then, Caelan gently stroked Doflamingo's eyes, trying to close them.

After several attempts, those wide eyes still refused to close.

A great villain of his era, Doflamingo.

Died with eyes wide open.
