The next morning, the news exploded across the seas like a second Birdcage.
**"IMPEL DOWN CAGED DOWN! 6000+ MARINES SLAUGHTERED!"**
**"FORMER WARLORD DONFLAMINGO ESCAPES – SOS CREW RISES!"**
**"HELLSEA ERUPTS: FIVE EMPERORS NOW?! DONFLAMINGO NAMED EMPEROR OF THE SEA!"**
Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's office in Marineford looked like a volcano had erupted inside it.
Lava dripped from the ceiling. The desk was a molten wreck. Sakazuki himself was sweating literal magma, veins bulging on his forehead as he roared at anyone within range.
"THAT PINK BASTARD! THAT STRING-FLINGING CLOWN! HE THINKS HE CAN MASSACRE OUR MEN AND WALK AWAY AS AN EMPEROR?!"
Fujitora stood calmly to the side, blindfold in place.
"He might actually be the most dangerous Emperor of all," the Admiral said quietly. "A threat to the World Government itself. We shouldn't stop at just naming him Emperor."
Kizaru lounged against the wall, flashing his usual lazy grin.
"Well, certainly his abilities aren't that big of a deal for us Admirals… but let's not forget he's more cunning and scheming than Blackbeard and Shanks put together. And he has an ace up his sleeve which even the World Government would think twice about."
Sakazuki slammed a lava-coated fist into what remained of his desk.
"Kizaru is right. We wait for orders from above. Ever since Kuzan's death, I've been burning for a fight. The commoners are calling us weak. We need a scapegoat. I won't spare any of them."

Meanwhile, Toku sat in the luxurious hotel suite he had "acquired," reading the newspapers with the wide, psychopathic smile of a child who had just burned down the neighbor's house.
"Just a breakout from prison and he's already an Emperor? Hmmmm… I made the right choice after all."
He laughed maniacally, low and broken.
"Now then… how high will your ceiling go, Mingo?"
He folded the paper neatly and stood.
The hotel was empty except for him and the staff he had paid (or threatened) into silence. Everything was prepared: gourmet food, fine drinks, a private hot bath, and a massive bed covered in rose petals.
Doll arrived shortly after, wearing a long black cloak for safety. When she stepped inside and removed it, the outfit beneath made Toku's invisible cock twitch instantly.
It was short, skimpy, and highly revealing — a floral-themed halter dress with a plunging neckline that barely contained her breasts, a tight brown corset cinching her waist, and a flouncy micro-skirt adorned with large pink cherry blossoms and white daisies. The ruffled hem bounced teasingly with every step.
Toku finally spoke, voice warm and teasing.
"Princess Doll… you're finally here."
Doll raised an eyebrow.
"Princess?"
"You don't like it?" Toku grinned invisibly. "You're so hot, Doll. I'm the luckiest man alive, hahaha."
Doll gave a sarcastic laugh. "And I'm the luckiest girl in the world, dating a perverted invisible pirate. What could go wrong?"
They sat down to eat. The conversation was long and surprisingly comfortable. Doll asked about the Impel Down breakout, eyes sharp.
"I wonder… if I could catch all the prisoners who escaped that day, how great would I be?"
Toku chuckled. "Now, now, don't be greedy, my love. Patience. I already promised you. And a pirate always keeps his promise."
Doll narrowed her eyes. "You're joking, right?"
Toku just laughed.
After dinner, they moved to the private hot bath together.
Both were already horny, the tension thick in the steam-filled air.
Toku approached first — ever the gentleman in his own twisted way. He kissed her neck softly, then her lips, moving behind her to wash her back and hair. He sniffed her damp strands, kissed her neck up to her ear, then tilted her head to kiss her deeply.
His cock, already hard from the heat and her proximity, poked against her ass, moving on its own with need.
He squeezed her breasts, fingers rolling her nipples, then slid one hand down to finger her clit with slow, teasing circles.
It was a strangely beautiful, intimate moment.
Finally, Toku inserted his dick into her from behind, hugging her tightly as he ground and thrust moving up and down against her slippery ass. Doll felt incredibly hot. She began adjusting her hips, meeting his movements. Toku loved the feeling. She was surprisingly skilled, or perhaps it was just the stimuli reacting perfectly.
The pleasure built so intensely that Toku came faster than usual, body shivering as he pumped thick ropes of cum deep inside her.
They kissed for a long time afterward — slow, deep, almost tender.
Then they went to bed together, sleeping entwined until the next morning.
A beautiful day indeed.
