Dressrosa, Marina.

The current king, Doflamingo, who is rarely seen in front of the public, is now unusually on the docks where people come and go.

He stood on the dock and looked into the distance, followed by a neat group of family guards, as if he was preparing to meet some big man.

There are indeed big names to be there today-

That's the reinforcement that Doflamingo asked Kaido for, Jack the Drought of the Three Plagues of the Beast Pirates.

In front of the Four Emperors Kaido, he can only be regarded as a black marketeer with a relatively large business scale and in his hands who happens to have goods in demand, and his face is not big enough to invite Kaido himself to stand for him.

However, although this drought Jack is not more vicious than Kai, he is also famous and powerful.

Jack is an animal ancient mammoth fruit ability, and he is famous for his thick blood and high resistance on the sea, and those who are entangled by him will not be able to get out of it for a while.

His bounty is as much as one billion Baileys, which is the same level as Katakuri, the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates.

According to a certain conventional strength grading standard, Drought Jack is a proper "deputy emperor" strength, and he has the capital of waves in front of the admiral.

With such a top-notch meat tank covered, there are really not many people on the sea who can move Doflamingo.

However, Doflamingo's mood was still not very good:

The news of Jerma66's falling out with Don Quixote is no secret in the underworld, and the news that Galen is going to seek revenge has spread all over the sea through the newspapers.

The current Dressrosa is calm on the surface, singing and dancing, and everything is the same, but in the unknown shadow side, there is already a dark tide.

As the king of the underworld, Doflamingo has many friends, but even more enemies.

Inspired by Galen's prestige, those enemies who usually dare not show their heads are all ready to move at this time.

Even walking in his home base, Doflamingo could feel some vague and hostile gaze.

The building will fall, and the wind and rain are coming.

And the only thing that can deter these guys from falling into the well is not Doflamingo himself, but the tiger skin of "Kaido's little brother" on his body.

The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the power established is only water without source and wood without roots after all.

So, now just waiting on the dock for a while, the generation of heroes Doflamingo showed an anxious look in a little gaffe:

"Haven't you come yet?"

Doflamingo's 'not yet here' wasn't referring to Drought Jack, but to a cargo ship loaded with the first batch of artificial Devil Fruit ingredients.

Based on the delivery time and the two-way voyage given by Caesar on the phone at the time, the ship should have arrived in Dressrosa today.

Doflamingo can only get the raw materials to get the Devil Fruit Factory running;

Only by getting the factory up and running in time can we meet the deadline for our major customer, Kaido, to see the finished artificial Devil Fruit that can be mass-produced.

Only by letting Kaido see the finished product will the Beast Pirates make great efforts to protect Doflamingo, and the Don Quixote family will be sure to withstand the crisis.

Therefore, Doflamingo's fate is now basically in the hands of the logistics brother who helped deliver the goods.

After a long time...

Before the cargo ship that Doflamingo was looking forward to, the pirate flag of the Hundred Beast Pirates came into view.

As soon as the pirate ship flying this flag docked, the atmosphere on the dock, which had become a little dull due to Doflamingo's appearance, suddenly froze completely.

People did not dare to speak loudly, but dared to look at each other, and secretly hid in the distance and pointed at the flag.

Soon, Jack of the Drought slowly stepped from the boat onto the dock surrounded by a group of younger brothers and appeared in front of Doflamingo.

He was more than two feet tall, muscular as an elephant, with large muscles exposed on his chest and abdomen, a huge ivory ornament on his shoulders, and two thick braids in front of him that looked more like beastly brown hair, and he looked like a formidable beast.

Doflamingo was three meters tall, but he was still as short as a child in front of the huge Jack, and he unconsciously lost three points to the opponent in terms of momentum.

"Doflamingo!"

Jack looked at Doflamingo condescendingly, and asked straight to the point:

"Where's the mass-produced artificial Devil Fruit?"

Hearing this somewhat fatal question and this somewhat aggressive tone, Doflamingo couldn't help but frown tightly.

"Still in production."

Doflamingo stiffened, and forced himself to learn Caesar's words and replied:

"The process of making artificial Devil Fruits is very complicated, and you can't rush it."

"It will take some time before the finished product is available."

"Huh?"

Jack glanced at Doflamingo coldly, and his voice was full of impatience:

"What Kaido-sama wants, you haven't prepared yet?"

He bowed his head slightly, and there was immediately a bit of naked killing intent in his already fierce eyes:

"Doflamingo."

"It's still early before the agreed delivery deadline, and I'll give you time to prepare."

"But don't play any tricks in front of me!"

"If you can't get the goods, I'll take your head off and take it back to Lord Kaido to ask for guilt!"

In the face of this almost humiliating scolding, Doflamingo's face turned red.

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and he could only endure this tone and respond: "Understood." ”

"Good."

After Jack gave him enough power, he finally restrained the unkind momentum:

"Let's go!"

"Take me to where I'm staying!"

Jack took the lead in reverse, and said to Doflamingo in a meaningful tone:

"In the next few days, I will 'protect' you well"

Doflamingo knew that the word "protection" in Jack's mouth meant "surveillance", but there was no turning back, so he obediently led Jack to the royal palace in Dressrosa.

At this moment, the distinctive call of the news bird came from the sky.

It's not uncommon for news birds to come every day to deliver the latest newspapers.

Jack immediately stopped.

Although he is a rough man who only likes to fight and do bad things, he is also a very important person on the sea, and naturally he has developed a good habit of paying attention to the movements of the sea every day.

So, instead of rushing to the palace, Jack stopped and asked for a newspaper.

Doflamingo also bought a newspaper.

They lowered their heads and took a closer look, and then they saw a somewhat strange title:

Shocked! Two middle-aged men are doing this on an uninhabited desert island! 》

This style of title is said to have been created by King Wallace of the East China Sea under the guidance of a certain high-ranking person.

As soon as it was invented, peers all over the world learned this eye-catching way of writing headlines, which made housewives who usually didn't like to pay attention to current affairs become loyal readers, and the sales of newspapers increased significantly.

Doflamingo and Jack automatically ignored the bottomless headline and continued to scan down.

Then, the faces of both of them changed at the same time.

Although the headline is nonsense, the content of the news does carry a lot of weight:

Admirals Pheasant and Akainu fought for five days and nights on the deserted island of Punk Hazard, and finally Akaiu lost by a narrow margin and voluntarily withdrew from the race for the next admiral.

This news undoubtedly pointed out the exact person who would be the next naval marshal, and it would have a profound impact on the pattern of the sea in the future.

However, Doflamingo and Jack's eyes were not on the words "Admiral", but on the familiar place name of "Punk Hazard".

"Punk Hazard."

Jack put down the newspaper and looked coldly at Doflamingo beside him:

"Doflamingo, if I'm not mistaken..."

"You mentioned before that the raw material production base for artificial devil fruits is there, right?"

That tyrannical killing intent instantly reappeared in Jack's eyes, and it was even several times richer than when he put down Ma Wei before.

"Don't worry!"

Doflamingo replied categorically.

Although he was panicked in his heart, his face still had a look of control:

"I have long had the relevant information through the insider, and I have also taken measures to deal with it in advance."

"The duel between those two generals did not affect the production of artificial devil fruits."

"Really?"

Jack stared at Doflamingo, but he didn't see any flaws in his calm face for a long time.

"You'd better not lie to me!"

Jack snorted, but accepted the argument for the time being.

"Of course..."

Doflamingo maintained the calmness on his face, but the drum was already beating in his heart:

In the past few days, he has been in telephone contact with the upstream supplier Caesar, and the news he got was all "the raw materials you want have been shipped, please wait patiently for logistics and distribution".

However, Caesar did not say a word on the phone about the two generals coming to the island.

Needless to say, something is definitely wrong with Punk Hazard's side.

And judging by Caesar's performance on the phone in the past few days, maybe he has already recruited everything in front of the navy.

"Damn..."

Doflamingo fell into an ice cellar, and a chill was born all over his body.

After reluctantly calming Jack down, he immediately went to the dark room where no one was around, took out the phone bug and dialed Caesar's number:

"Caesar!"

Doflamingo's voice was filled with teasing anger:

"Two generals dueling in Punk Hazard? What the hell is going on? ”

"Have you already defected?"

“......”

Unlike in the past, Caesar never answered.

A moment later, another young and powerful voice appeared in the "speaker" of the phone bug:

"I'm sorry."

The voice deliberately put on a serious feeling, but it couldn't hide the taste of mockery and ridicule at all:

"Dear Deppon Logistics customers."

"The product you ordered 'Artificial Devil Fruit Raw Materials' unfortunately suffered from the geological disaster 'Meteor Volcano' and the climatic disaster 'Ice Age' during the delivery process, and now it has exploded on the spot, please contact the merchant to re-ship."

Hearing this joke, Doflamingo was immediately so angry that his face turned red—

This voice was not only recognizable to him, but also very familiar.

"Galen!"

Doflamingo roared angrily, "You're behind the scenes?!" ”

"Hahaha..."

Galen laughed heartily, "Yes, that's me." ”

"Doflamingo!"

"Destroying your raw material base is nothing more than a small appetizer."

"I said it on Fish-Man Island:"

"You give me a neck...."

Before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, Doflamingo hung up the phone decisively and choked Galen on the other end of the phone.

He wasn't interested in hearing Galen's domineering, almost humiliating threats again.

Doflamingo's forehead was full of hideous green tendons, and he thought about how to deal with it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to call Virgo, who was working near Punk Hazard, to investigate the situation and see if there was any room for rescue from the destroyed raw material base.

So, Doflamingo dialed Virgo again.

Soon, a familiar voice came out, filling in the previous half of the sentence:

“... Wash well. ”

"Waiting for me to kill you."

The King of the River said

Chapter 2 will be sent later...
