As for Robin, she simply followed Yamato.
Earlier, Yamato had always had her back to Doflamingo. Her tone was cold, but Doflamingo didn't find anything unusual about it; after all, this young miss from the Beasts Pirates had never shown much interest in him.
But when he saw the look on the pursuing Robin's face, he seemed to realize that things weren't so simple.
"So you dragged innocent citizens into this, and made all these people go mad and kill each other, just to clean them out?"
Sensing that something was wrong, Doflamingo didn't answer right away. He suddenly realized that things seemed to be slipping out of his control once again.
If Doflamingo had only done this to his enemies and rebels, Yamato wouldn't have felt the way she did now. But Doflamingo's actions affected far too many people.
There were just too many innocent people in all of Dressrosa.
That night ten years ago wasn't just a simple struggle for power. It was a random slaughter for the sake of building up his own reputation.
Regardless of age, everyone's fate was decided by him in a completely random fashion.
"Do all the people of this country have a grudge against you?"
"No, but they were born in this country, and that was God's choice for them. When I was ten, I personally killed my own father. To me, only family members at the officer level or above are family. Everyone else is just a tool."
"They're weak, so they can only drift with the tide. The fact that I didn't rule by terror is already my greatest mercy."
After thinking for a moment, Doflamingo still spoke his mind honestly. He felt that there was no point in lying at this moment.
"Are you saying that you want to help them defeat me because of these people who don't matter? Even if you add up all the benefits they could bring to the Beasts Pirates, it doesn't equal what I alone can offer. You should understand this, Miss Yamato."
"The Beasts Pirates are also pirates too, not some kind of righteous organization with a noble cause."
As he said this, he looked at Robin, standing to the side. The two people from the Beasts Pirates he interacted with the most were Robin and Queen, and there had never been any real conflict with Robin. Plus, she played a secretary-like role, so what she said ought to have some weight.
"There's no need to say any more. I understand everything."
At this moment, Yamato had already turned around. Seeing Robin looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated, Yamato knew what she wanted to say.
"Doflamingo, you really are a b*stard. I just can't bring myself to like your kind of personality."
"Fuffuffuffu. There are plenty of people who hate me, but this world runs on profit. Your father, Kaido, only kept in contact with me because I could benefit him."
"Shut up!"
Yamato abruptly swung her kanabo, smashing it right in front of Doflamingo's feet. In an instant, the ground nearby sank several meters, and a huge crack appeared in the mountain that Pica had raised.
"I don't want to hear your excuses. This place isn't even fit to be compared to Wano Country. At least now, the people of Wano smile from their hearts. But here, there's nothing but anger and sadness."
Looking at the cracks that had spread to his feet, Doflamingo's heart was far from calm. If the young miss of the Beasts Pirates also wanted to kill him, he really wouldn't stand a chance of turning things around.
"Just on personal feelings alone, I'd love to kill you right now. But I can't do that. You're still useful to my father, that b*stard. What happens to you afterward is another matter."
While others looked on, thinking there might be a conflict between Yamato and Doflamingo, Yamato suddenly turned around again, putting herself between Doflamingo and the others.
"I won't interfere in Dressrosa's affairs. But I'm taking this guy with me. Please move aside."
"You don't like him either, or rather, you hate him too, don't you?"
It was then that Redfield spoke. He hadn't just been zoning out, he was reading Doflamingo's memories.
"What that guy said is all true. When he was ten, he killed his father with his own hands, and even tried to use his father's head to regain his former status, but he failed.
His younger brother also thought he was a madman, so he betrayed him, and in the end, he too was killed by Doflamingo. He really is a natural-born villain."
From Doflamingo's heart, Redfield read the darkest side of human nature. Whether it was his former arrogant and domineering days as a Celestial Dragon or his later career of slaughter, the "evil" in Doflamingo's heart was quite pure.
Yamato was not someone easy to deal with. If she could be convinced, that would be the most advantageous outcome.
"That's right, I hate this b*stard, but I can't just let you take him down like this either."
If it were just a personal matter, Yamato would also be one of those hunting Doflamingo now. But she represented more than just herself.
She was also the young miss of the Beasts Pirates, the Oni Princess of the Beasts Pirates, and also represented Beasts Pirates.
Doflamingo's existence still seemed to have considerable value and some meaning to Kaido, so she couldn't leave Doflamingo here just like that.
However, asking her to help Doflamingo maintain his rule in Dressrosa was something Yamato couldn't do.
There were many countries in the New World, and as affiliated nations, some could establish themselves here, like the country of Elizabello II. As one of the affiliated nations, it wasn't a problem for them to gain a foothold in the New World.
Dressrosa, in the past, even had the strength to help others. Even without Doflamingo, this country could find its own way to exist.
The most unique was Fishman Island. Because of racial reasons, even with the flag of an affiliated nation, their lives were still unstable.
Apart from the affiliated nations, the only countries that could live peacefully here were those under protection. The flag of an Emperor of the Sea was the most reliable thing.
And when they occupy their own territory, wars inevitably break out as well.
If Doflamingo had only targeted the royal family and the rebels, Yamato wouldn't have been so emotional. It would still be within the range of what she could accept. But Doflamingo's rule was completely random.
Arbitrarily killing innocent citizens under his control, the dazzling facade hid an immense darkness, and that was what she truly disliked.
To be forgotten by the world, turned into toys, forced to work endlessly under the influence of a Devil Fruit's power, and only able to watch as your family, having forgotten you, started new lives. This was the most terrifying thing about Dressrosa.
Once this matter was exposed, there was no way to turn things around.
If Doflamingo wanted to reestablish his rule, he would either have to kill everyone, or turn them all into toys, making this a true country of toys.
Otherwise, as long as the shadow of the toy incident remained, Dressrosa could never support Doflamingo again.
Wano Country only targeted rebels who supported the old regime, never involving the innocent. Sincerity was met with sincerity, changes in people's lives were clear to see, and punishments for breaking the rules were openly enforced.
The people there now sincerely supported the Beasts Pirates, and even if they learned about the past, they would just think Oden was a fool.
Totto Land, on the other hand, relied on offering up their lifespan in exchange for Charlotte Linlin's protection. As long as they didn't encounter Charlotte Linlin going mad from her eating disorder, the rest of their lifespan was enough for them to live peacefully. It was nothing like the illusory prosperity of Dressrosa.
