Chapter 151 - Chapter 153

"Young master, I tried to stop him from entering but I couldn't. Please forgive me!" Baby 5 stood by the door to Doflamingo's office with her head facing down. She was deeply disappointed in herself, but she convinced herself there was nothing she could do. The man she had guided here was Byakuya, the billion blade pirate worth almost two billion, who was she compared to that person? No one, that is who she is if compared to him.

"let it lie. We have more important things to do. Speaking of important tasks, I want you to take Buffalo and locate Kaido's fleet and I want a full report on who he has brought with him." Doflamingo said lazily, appearing on the surface as if he was very calm about this whole war dilemma.

"Yes, young master!" Baby hurried out of the room to Buffalo that stood confused outside the room. "How did it go, Baby 5?" He asked with a slight tilt on his head.

"We have an important mission, big guy!" Baby 5 rushed past him like there was a fire lit on her behind.

"Wait, Baby 5! What did young master say? Did you get punished?" Buffalo yelled and started running after his partner and childhood friend.

Back inside the room, silence prevailed as none said anything at all, not even a slight squeak from one of the chairs was heard. "Are you nervous?" Amell turned his gaze to Doflamingo.

"As long as you stick to our deal and kill Kaido I have no doubt about our bright future," Doflamingo said with a relaxed smile and leaned back in his chair. His attitude suggested that he was indeed very calm but nothing escapes the eyes of the fifth emperor. Amell could clearly see the deep concern on his face, even though Doflamingo did very well in hiding it deep within himself, it still didn't escape Amell's eyes.

"I see" Amell's gaze lingered on him a little longer before he too turned away and started staring endlessly into the void.

"I can't believe this thing is still open," Lubbock said as he stood in front of a large colosseum. It was an impressive building, even Lubbock had to admit that. He had left his brother to deal with that agent and he was currently just walking around aimlessly waiting for the fun to start.

He slightly away from the entrance and observed what seemed like an endless stream of people coming and going from inside the building. Since he stood out in the open and not caring at all about hiding his face he was practically alone in his area because most people walking by recognized him on first glance. The Gotei commanders couldn't go anywhere in the world without being recognized almost instantly, they were literally the most famous people in the world.

"Corrida Colosseum, let's see what you got to offer today." Lubbock leapt off the ground and he landed on top of the building. What he saw first was the gigantic arena where currently tons of lightly dressed men and women were fighting and killing each other. He looked around and spotted Diamante sitting in a booth overlooking the arena. The booth had no window so Diamante was leaning over the railing while watching the blood and gore with a smile on his face. And without warning, Lubbock landed on the railing right next to Diamante.

"Sup, man!" He said loudly while standing on the railing and looking down on the master of this colosseum.

"What the hell!" Diamante jumped up in surprise and he had almost drawn his sword and cut Lubbock into pieces.

"Sorry to scare ya, buddy!" Lubbock said and sat down on the railing.

"What are you want, Lubbock?"

"Can't I just come here and talk to my good friend Diamante without being expected to want something?" He said and faked a look of hurting.

"No? I would think not!" Diamante said and emptied a glass filled with alcohol that he had in his hand.

"I'm hurt!" Lubbock smiled widely, "But you're right! I'm super bored, Kaido is taking forever to get here, so I just came to let you know that I'm joining the next match."

"Why would you want to join this? None of these guys has the strength of Kaido's pinky." Diamante tilted his head in slight confusion.

"I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about joining this thing. And hope you won't try and stop me!" Lubbock's aura went dark and Diamante's heart skipped a beat when faced with that pressure.

"N-No, you do you, man!" He said and gestured to his servant to refill his glass.

"Awesome! I think this will be fun!" Lubbock turned around and started watching the match.

"So, are you afraid of what's to come?" Lubbock said casually.

"If you're referring to Kaido, then no. After meeting your boss, I can't even imagine what possible way Kaido has to win. Amell's strength is out of this world." Diamante said and shuddered slightly.

"Yes it is, and don't you forget it. If any of you show even a hint of disloyalty, a commander will be sent here to wipe you all off the map." Lubbock's words caused the blood inside Diamante's body to run cold. The knowing that the Gotei had that power was what scared him. And the commander in front of him that looked like a young boy was actually a monster almost without equal in this world. These were the facts that made Diamante accept the Gotei as their parent crew. He was unimaginably scared of the commanders of the Gotei.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind," Diamante said quietly while sipping on his drink and watching the battle down on the arena.
