After Saint Mars finished speaking, his sharp gaze swept over the very few Celestial Dragons below.
"Saint Marcus Newman, Saint Marcus Toby, Saint Marcus... the people whose names I have called, starting from today until the next Heavens Hunt, will be stripped of the right to obtain Heavenly Tribute."
The people whose names he called were all members of their family who had participated in the gambling agreement.
He couldn't control Celestial Dragons from other families, but for the Celestial Dragons of his own family, it was still up to him to decide.
As these words fell, the 52 Celestial Dragons below who had participated in the gambling agreement all changed their expressions drastically.
Not because they lost. Losing is losing, it's not like they haven't lost before.
The main thing was, starting today, Saint Mars was cutting off the Marcus family's Heavenly Tribute, and tomorrow, the family patriarch would also cut off their Heavenly Tribute in various ways.
Without money, there would be no slaves, no way to show off wealth, and they would lose face in front of other clansmen. This was like taking their lives.
Compared to the despair spreading among the other Celestial Dragons, Rosse's mood at this moment was extremely cheerful.
After Saint Mars announced the results, it basically equaled the final conclusion.
At this moment, countless pleasant notification sounds rang out.
[Perfect A-rank defeat!]
[Strength +100,000]
[Perfect A-rank defeat!]
[Perfect A-rank defeat!]
[...]
52 experience babies directly gave daddy Rosse 5.2 million strength boost.
In just an instant, Rosse felt his cells become extremely active, his whole body becoming lighter and stronger.
Just a slight feeling, and Rosse felt he could now easily kill two of his previous selves.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Rosse]
[Strength: 13.96 million / 15 million (S-, Admiral level)]
[Fruit: Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical Zoan, Watatsumi form (Not awakened)]
[Fruit Abilities: Levitation (flight), Ocean Manipulation (control seawater), Hearing the Sea (seawater sensing), Sea Blessing (seawater restores stamina), Heaven's Fall (generates seawater), Transformation (Mythical Beast form)...]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The greatest improvement naturally was raw strength. Now Rosse's physique was no worse than Zephyr's.
Secondly was Conqueror's Haki.
This group of Celestial Dragons basically had no special abilities, and the rewards were all a kind of thing called 'Celestial Might (A)', similar to the noble aura nobles explode with.
It's just that after stacking over 50 of them, Celestial Might reached S-rank and directly stacked onto Rosse's Conqueror's Haki.
Not exaggerating at all, just relying on Conqueror's Haki, he could now easily shock to death anyone below B-rank.
The only pity was that Celestial Might only increased the quantity and quality of Conqueror's Haki, without adding attack methods like Conqueror's Coating.
If he wanted to learn that, he still needed to wait until he went to Wano and see if Teacher Kai had comprehended it.
If Kaido already knew Conqueror's Coating now, Rosse could also piggyback into a super-fast crash course.
After announcing the results, Rosse didn't return to the Holy Land, directly taking Gion and Stella onto the ship and leaving.
Vegapunk had left a life card in the World Government and had already found a way to get it into his hands. Now he just needed to follow the direction to find the man.
According to the direction shown by the life card, Vegapunk was currently in the North Blue. Which was quite interesting.
After sailing at sea for two days, Rosse didn't find Vegapunk but instead accidentally encountered a large ship.
"Young Master, it's Donquixote Doflamingo from the Donquixote Family," Looking at the flamingo-shaped ship in the distance, Stella came running to report.
"The Donquixote Family from the Holy Land?", Gion was slightly puzzled.
As far as she knew, Celestial Dragons rarely sailed on the sea, the chances of encountering one were extremely low.
"This Donquixote isn't that one from the Holy Land," Rosse smiled and said as he walked along the deck, "Tell Zephyr to approach."
"Yes!"
Stella immediately turned around and ran toward the direction of the cockpit. After the Heavens Hunt ended, Zephyr naturally returned to the team, following them to search for Vegapunk.
And besides Zephyr, Borsalino also participated in this action.
After all, it concerned the Brain-Brain Fruit user, the smartest person the World Government had produced in 800 years. No amount of caution was too much.
It's just that the lineup originally prepared for Vegapunk was now going to be tested on Doflamingo first.
———
"Young Master, they aren't slowing down, they're rushing straight towards us," On the flamingo ship, Diamante waved his arms in fear.
'That's the World Government's ship!'
'That's the ride of the Celestial Dragon Rosse!'
If a conflict really broke out, they would definitely be finished.
"Fufufufufufufu, no matter what, it's just a Celestial Dragon. What's there to be afraid of? Approach them!", Seeing that Rosse's ship showed no signs of stopping, Doflamingo laughed crazily, his eyes flashing with madness.
'Celestial Dragons, just a bunch of waste drowning in luxury.'
'One day, I will make them understand how wrong they were to reject me!'
The two ships got closer and closer, still with no intention of slowing down.
Under Doflamingo's madness, Diamante's terror, Rosse and Gion's calm, Zephyr's indifference, and Borsalino's exaggerated fear, the two ships finally collided.
BOOM!
The wooden Flamingo Ship was easily torn apart by Rosse's warship, the entire hull embedding itself into the Flamingo Ship.
Aside from Doflamingo and Diamante, the rest of the Donquixote Family were all thrown into disarray, falling to the ground.
Doflamingo completely ignored the tragic state of the ship, instead letting out a crazed laugh, "Fufufufufufufu, worthy of being called the most evil Celestial Dragon, Saint Rosse. You really are different from the others. You are qualified to cooperate with me."
His gaze fixed intensely on Rosse standing on the deck, his face showing no fear, only extreme madness.

[Donquixote Doflamingo]
[Comprehensive Rating: C+]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"You think you're brave? A mere ordinary person who had his Celestial Dragon status revoked, Doflamingo," Rosse's face carried a calm indifference as he stepped toward Doflamingo.
His steps seemed slow, yet gave an overwhelming feeling of a mountain pressing down, each step hammering into everyone's heart.
As he moved forward, the pressure from his Conqueror's Haki became heavier like a mountain.
The Flamingo Ship's crew one by one bent down, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden, even breathing becoming difficult.
Their faces were full of fear, cold sweat sliding down their foreheads, and some even turned purple from excessive terror.
As Rosse stepped onto the Flamingo Ship, the pressure from Conqueror's Haki intensified even more.
First step.
The deck let out a slight crack sound. That was the wood cracking under the pressure. The crew members prostrated themselves on the ground, as if crushed by an invisible force, unable to lift their heads.
If not for Rosse deliberately restraining himself, these people would have already been crushed to pieces by the terrifying pressure.
Second step.
Diamante slightly arched his back, and Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki also unconsciously erupted, trying to resist.
But even so, he could still feel an invisible force pressing against his chest, like a mountain crushing him.
Third step.
Diamante's knees could no longer support his body, and he knelt on the ground. His face was full of fear and pain, while Doflamingo's expression also grew heavier, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Even though he was also releasing Conqueror's Haki trying to resist, in the face of such a gap, it was utterly powerless.
Fourth step...
Dong!
A crisp footstep sounded, like a heavy hammer striking Doflamingo's chest. He felt a burst of sharp pain in his chest, almost unable to breathe.
"Damned bastard...", Doflamingo cursed under his breath, a trace of pain and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
He desperately tried to struggle, but under this overwhelming pressure, his Conqueror's Haki was like a candle in the ocean, unable to stir up any waves at all.
