Doflamingo has had a hard time lately:

Diamanti, the top cadre in charge of arresting Luo, and his party are completely lost, and the contradictions between Jerma66 and the Don Quixote family are intensifying, and a war in the underground world is about to start.

However, a wave has not settled, and another wave has risen:

Before the battle started, he inexplicably received a death threat from Galen.

Because of the cheap lives of dozens of fish-man slaves, they are going to come and take the head of my Yaksha?

Doflamingo had never heard such a ridiculous casus belli.

However, Doflamingo also knew in his heart:

No matter how ridiculous the words are, as long as they come out of the mouth of the strong, the weight is completely different.

As long as the person who speaks is strong enough, the so-called joke will become a future that will be realized.

And Galen's strength, Doflamingo had already experienced it when he was in the city and Whitebeard, the three generals and other fierce people ran side by side with poison.

After receiving this death threat, Doflamingo completely lost his composure as the king of the underworld.

Pirates, mercenaries, illegal traders, and even the world government, he begins to seek assistance by all means to deal with the impending crisis.

And at this very moment, Doflamingo was talking to one of the most powerful big names in his network:

"Doflamingo, I see what you mean."

The big man's voice was rough but not calm, but a little drunken and irritable:

"You want to seek my refuge?"

"Yes."

Doflamingo's tone was deferential.

When talking to this big man on the phone, he completely lost his usual arrogance.

Because the big man who talks to him is none other than Kaido, the world's strongest creature and the "Hundred Beasts" of the Four Emperors.

Even through the phone bug, Kaido's voice still has an invisible oppressive force:

"Boy, I can send someone to protect you."

"But when the time comes, you'll have to show me what I want."

"No problem."

Doflamingo replied categorically:

"The raw material base for artificial devil fruits has been put into production."

"When the raw materials are sent to the factory in Dressrosa for further processing, I will definitely be able to see the first batch of finished products within a month."

A special arms deal has just been negotiated between Doflamingo and Kaido-

Artificial Devil Fruits.

This special Devil Fruit is mastered by the evil scientist Caesar Kurang, and is exclusively produced and distributed by the Don Quixote family, and the target customers are none other than Kaido's Beast Pirates.

However, this promising business has not yet officially begun.

At this point in time, not long after Caesar Courant and Doflamingo hooked up, Punk Hazard's raw material production line had just been put into production, and the Devil Fruit factory in Dressrosa had not yet started.

And Kaido, who is bent on building a full-fledged Pirate Group, has not seen the finished product promised by Doflamingo until now.

So, Doflamingo hasn't actually hugged Kaido's thigh yet.

"A month?"

"You've dragged on long enough, Doflamingo."

Kaido was a little impatient, and mercilessly cut off the deadline given by Doflamingo:

"I'll give you twenty days."

"In twenty days, let me see the first shipment."

"Otherwise... You don't have to bother that kid named Galen to take your life. ”

"Understood."

Doflamingo swallowed unconsciously.

He knew in his heart that he was undoubtedly seeking Kaido's refuge on the condition of an artificial devil fruit, and he was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger.

If the meat he promised to feed the tiger did not materialize, then he, the fox hiding under the tiger's threat, would immediately die in the tiger's mouth.

"It's good to understand."

"The aid you want will arrive in Dressrosa soon, get ready!"

Kaido hung up.

And after Doflamingo received strong reinforcements, his mood was not relaxed, because he understood what Kaido meant:

As long as they do not deliver on time, the so-called "aid" will immediately turn the gun around and turn into an executioner who executes himself.

"Damn..."

Doflamingo unconsciously whispered a curse-

His net worth and life are all tied to this artificial devil fruit business.

He thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again and dialed another one.

The call was made to the Punk Hazard raw material production base, an upstream supplier of the artificial devil fruit industry chain.

Although it has been confirmed several times before, Doflamingo is now like walking on a tightrope, and there is no room for error:

"Caesar Kurang?"

As soon as Doflamingo answered the phone, he asked straight to the point:

"When will you get the raw materials I want to Dressrosa?"

"Huh?"

Caesar Kurang's somewhat lewd and wicked voice rang on the phone bug:

"Haven't you already asked this question?"

"The first batch of raw materials scheduled will be produced today and will be loaded on ships tomorrow."

"Today."

Doflamingo immediately ordered:

"Load me on the ship today."

"I want to see the raw materials that can be used as soon as possible."

Artificial Devil Fruits were now the lifeblood of his home, and Doflamingo was worried that he would have long nights and dreams.

"Today?"

Caesar Kurang frowned tightly.

As a scientific researcher, he hates to be ordered by a layman:

"Doflamingo, do you think I'm making ice cream here?"

"The process of producing raw materials cannot be missing a step, and the time cannot be short in a day!"

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the artificial devil fruit produced, I won't be responsible."

“......”

Doflamingo was silent for a moment, and finally relied on self-regulation to ease his emotions:

"Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow."

"But you must not make any more mistakes! Kaido is already urging me to buy goods! ”

"Kaido is urging?"

"That's your business, I'm only responsible for producing as planned."

Caesar, however, was not frightened by the name of this distant downstream customer, but asked Doflamingo for a "salary".

"The Devil Fruit ingredients you want, I've already made the finished product."

"So, what about the experiment materials you promised me? When will it be delivered to Punk Hazard! ”

Caesar Kurang agreed to cooperate with Doflamingo on the condition that Doflamingo provide him with sufficient "experimental materials", that is, a large number of human children.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Doflamingo, however, was not interested in discussing such an inconsequential matter, so he casually said perfunctorily:

"Virgo will naturally arrange the experimental materials for you."

"If you have any questions, you can contact him yourself."

Doflamingo casually threw the matter to a "third-party contractor" and hung up the phone in a preoccupied manner.

"Humph!"

Caesar snorted, and his face was not very good-looking.

Punk Hazard's experimental base had just been rebuilt, and there was nothing in it except for the production of artificial Devil Fruit ingredients.

However, the experimental materials promised by Doflamingo have not been delivered for a long time, and the research on human giantization and biochemical poison gas that Caesar has been trying to carry out has been delayed.

Therefore, Caesar, a talented scientist, has been doing the boring job of a workshop supervisor these days.

He's been tired of it for a long time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Caesar finally couldn't help but pick up the phone bug on the table and dialed Virgo's phone.

The G5 base is relatively close to here, and Virgo, who has an official status, was naturally arranged by Doflamingo to be the special person in charge of covering Caesar and sending resources.

"Why are you calling again?"

Virgo's tone was full of impatience:

"I've already said it, don't call me if it's okay."

"Where's my material?"

Caesar, however, flinched at all:

"I've already made the artificial devil fruit raw materials you wanted, why can't I get the experimental materials I want!"

"Enough!"

Virgo snorted softly, and his voice was even more impatient:

"Do you think it's easy to help you catch those little kids?"

"If the action is too big, I, the lieutenant general of the headquarters, can't hide it!"

"I don't care!"

Caesar replied-for-tat:

"Now Kaido is urging you young master to urge the goods, and your young master is coming to me to urge the goods again!"

"If you want me to get the raw materials out, you have to deliver the goods I want!"

"It's useless to talk about it!"

Virgo's tone was not good, but he still blocked Caesar's mouth with one sentence:

"Before you even called, I had the materials you wanted ready!"

"Oh?"

Caesar's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"When will it arrive!"

Virgo replied angrily:

"The goods have already gone to sea, and I personally escorted them."

"You give me patience and wait, I won't be long before I get to Punk Hazard."

With that, Virgo hung up the phone.

Caesar, on the other hand, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and paced back and forth in the office uncontrollably, imagining from time to time a bright future in which he would break the bottleneck of human research through human experiments and surpass Vegapunk to become the world's first scientist in one fell swoop.

Moments later, there was a sharp knock on the door in his office.

A subordinate pushed the door nervously and entered:

"Lord Caesar!"

"The patrolling brothers saw a naval warship on the coast!"

"Navy warships?"

Caesar's eyes flickered, but he was not surprised:

"Okay!"

"Virgo's guy arrived so soon?"

This Punk Hasad Island has no magnetism, and ordinary sea ships will not wander into this sea area when they have nothing to do.

The navy also only regarded Punk Hazard as an abandoned base filled with poison gas, and never looked at it.

And the illegal experimental base on Punk Hazard has only just been rebuilt, and it is estimated that it will not be so quick for outsiders to discover the secrets.

Caesar was eager for material for experiments, and without thinking, he mistook the sudden appearance of the naval warship for a cargo ship that Virgo had come to deliver to him.

"Let's go!"

Caesar's lower body element turned into a cloud of gas, and he flew out of the office door with an excited face:

"Let's go to the docks and have a look!"
