## One Piece Chapter 700, pages 3-4: At His Own Pace - Chapter: 700 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Donquixote Doflamingo, Dressrosa Citizens, Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown, Brownbeard ### Summary Page 3: In Dressrosa, the palace Den Den Mushi rings endlessly: "PURU RURU RURU," "PURU RURU RURU," "PURU RURU RURU." The city itself is labeled "DRESS-ROSA," and anxious voices call, "YOUR HIGHNESS!!" Doflamingo finally answers, his face dark and smiling: "IT'S ME... I'VE RESIGNED FROM THE SHICHIBUKAI." The room erupts in disbelief. Someone whispers, "IT'S HIM!" another confirms, "IT'S REALLY HIM!!" and the others scramble to silence themselves: "SHHHH!! SHHHHH!! HE'LL HEAR YOU GUYS!" Doflamingo's resignation is no rumor. He speaks it himself, directly to his own kingdom, and that makes the impossible newspaper headline real. For his subordinates, the voice on the line is not just a report; it is their king and boss personally confirming that the world they depended on has changed overnight. Page 4: On the Sunny, Luffy cannot keep quiet long enough for the negotiation to stay clean. He grabs the receiver and announces himself: "HELLO HELLO I'M MONKEY D. LUFFY!!" Then he declares, "I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES!!" Law and the crew shout at him, "LIKE I JUST SAID, SHUT UP!!" while someone snaps, "HEY, MINGO!!" Luffy ignores the restraint and threatens Doflamingo directly: "ARE YOU THAT STUPID CAESAR'S BOSS? THAT GUY CAUSED ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE FOR BROWNBEARD AND THE CHILDREN!!" He adds, "WE'RE GONNA RETURN CAESAR TO YOU, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE PROMISE, BUT... IF YOU EVER TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS TOO!!!" Doflamingo responds with interest rather than fear: "'STRAWHAT' LUFFY...!! IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE YOUR BROTHER DIED... AND THEN YOU JUST VANISHED. WHAT WERE YOU DOING, AND WHERE?" Luffy answers only, "THERE'S SOMETHING I IMAGINE YOU CRAVE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD... AND I'VE GOT IT."
