Chapter 25: You Think Beautifully
Colonel Dauberman's gaze was determined, he picked up the Devil Fruit and nibbled on it without hesitation.
[It stinks...... It's bitter......]
Colonel Dauberman's eyes moistened, and his face distorted.
He had long heard that the taste of the Devil Fruit was unpalatable, but he never expected that it would be so unpalatable!
It's so unpalatable that you want to die!
The stench of feces and the bitter taste of Coptis spread in his mouth, making him feel like he wanted to open his mouth and vomit.
But at the thought of how hard it had taken him to get this Devil Fruit, Colonel Dauberman's face became firm again.
Click!
He took a hard bite of the flesh, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
γDevil Fruit, you can get its abilities by taking one bite. So now, am I already a Devil Fruit powerhouse? γ
Colonel Dauberman tossed the leftover Devil Fruit in his hand, then raised his hands to test what kind of abilities he had acquired.
[I feel like there's a force in my body that's crashing around, is this the power of the Devil Fruit?] Come, come out for me! γ
Colonel Dauberman shouted angrily in his heart, trying to mobilize the power in his body.
However......
The power of the Devil Fruit did not appear, but his eyes turned black and he fell to the sky.
The locksmith on the side was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a panic: "Come on, Colonel Dauberman has an accident!" β
"Hum hum! Fight me? Dauberman, you're still too tender! β
Doflamingo shook the wine in his glass and smirked.
What animal is a Devil Fruit of the Phantom Beast species? Inexistent!
Not to mention the animal-based phantom beast species, even the Devil Fruit does not exist!
The fruit in the Hailou stone box was a stinky and bitter poisonous fruit. It's just that its appearance has been artificially processed.
With the memories of the time-traveler, Doflamingo saw the future.
In the future, he would auction off the Golden Fruit (he didn't actually want to give it to anyone else at all) and then be robbed by Tezoro; He'd use the burnt fruit as a prize to hold a ring match (he didn't actually want to hand it over at all) and get robbed by Saab.
Seeing the future in advance, with such a lesson, how could Doflamingo make mistakes again?
He would never use the Devil Fruit as bait again, at most it was just a gimmick.
Just like this time, there is no need for a real Devil Fruit at all, just a rumor.
The so-called rumors stop at the wise, but in the face of the temptation of huge interests, how many people can keep their sanity?
As long as the temptation in the rumors is big enough, no matter how small the odds, someone will try their luck.
Just like the current era of pirates, who knows if the big secret treasure is a rumor?
But the temptation is big enough that some people are willing to try it.
Diamanti smiled, "I heard that Colonel Daberman is now unconscious due to poisoning after eating the fruit we prepared. Dover, why didn't you just poison him to death? β
Doflamingo shook the red wine in his wine glass and said calmly: "If you poison him, the impact will be too great, and the navy will definitely pursue it." If you keep him, you can take our attention off and let him enjoy it...... The price of going against me! β
In order to get the fake Devil Fruit, Dauberman paid a lot of money and took a great risk.
Forced civilians to sell him Devil Fruits at a low price, clashed with Colonel Jackson of the Thirteenth Division and knocked him unconscious, disobeying the orders of Admiral Sengoku...... These things don't count!
If he really ate a Devil Fruit of the Animal Phantom Beast Species, the top brass of the Navy would look at his infinite potential, raise it high and gently put it down, and just beat him up.
But now......
An ordinary naval colonel dares to act so recklessly. If it is not punished severely, what is the majesty of naval discipline?
It is conceivable that Colonel Dauberman's next days will not be easy, and he may even be worse than dead!
Eat the Devil Fruit, become an admiral, marry a peerless beauty, and reach the pinnacle of life...... You think beautifully!
Obediently eat a poisonous fruit like, and then honestly suffer the sin!
Doflamingo said, "After Dauberman was poisoned, did the warships of the 12th Division still come over every day?" β
Diamanti said: "This is the order given by Dauberman before he fell unconscious, and the navy is still carrying it out. It was Dauberman's cronies who carried out this order, and we couldn't buy it. β
Doflamingo smiled, "It seems that the Twelfth Division of the Navy is very idle...... Find something for them to do!
Go spread rumors that the Devil Fruit of the animal phantom beast species is in the 12th Division of the Navy. The box of Hailou Stone had been opened by the locksmith there, but no one had eaten the Devil Fruit. Because they are waiting for orders from the Navy Headquarters, which has not yet made a decision. β
Diamanti's eyes lit up: "Dover, do you want to contact those ambitious pirates and attack the base of the 12th Division of the Navy?" In this case, those patrolling warships will definitely come back to defend and will no longer be able to take care of us. β
Doflamingo shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't need to be like this. If the pirates attack the naval base, then the Twelfth Division will become famous.
We can't do that, we have to keep a low profile.
You just need to create such an atmosphere that Dauberman's cronies will definitely stay at the naval base to protect Dauberman's safety.
That way, it's best if no one comes here to make a round. If someone else takes over, we can buy them off.
The black market has been closed for so long, and it's time to open it. If you don't open it again, I'm afraid no one will come. β
Leaving Diamanti and them to do their work, Doflamingo picked up the phone bug and began to contact Seahawk.
After Dauberman is transferred, the next commander of the 12th Division must be himself!
If three commanders in a row had an accident here, the Navy Headquarters would definitely notice it.
Seahawk is a greedy man, but he has a benefit. That is, as long as he receives the money, he will work hard to do things.
After some haggling, Seahawk agreed to help in the Navy. The next commander who comes to serve in the Twelfth Division must become a person who can be bought by him.
"What a nuisance!"
After hanging up the phone, Doflamingo let out a sigh of relief and casually put the phone bug aside.
He tried to move his body, but he still felt a little unwell. For five or six days, he had not fully recovered from his injuries.
[Although there is no major problem, it is better to heal the injury thoroughly! ] Otherwise, if there are any hidden dangers left that affect my growth height, it will be more than worth the loss. γ
Doflamingo thought to himself.
With his injuries in his body, Doflamingo did not practice for the time being. The only thing that can pass his time is to strengthen the Don Quixote family.
Doflamingo picked up a document next to him and let out a low laugh: "Power is also very important! Because one person's words can't completely destroy this world, hum hum! β
