Chapter 309: It should be no problem to shoot a shot
After a long show, the Duke trio are invited out of the café and follow the crew of the Sun Pirates to the palace. Apex Duke has this strength and this qualification, and is personally received by King Neptune.
Perona is in despair, Fish-Man Island in the New World is Duke's backyard, and the road back to Moria is long and difficult.
On the way, more than a dozen fishmen who learned of Duke's identity burst into tears, and in the face of their benefactors' swords, they were ashamed and wanted to repay with their lives. Of course, they didn't die and were rejected by Duke.
Aladdin looked at Duke gratefully: "Because of our involvement, you were wanted and offered a reward, and Tiger Boss regretted it more than once. We've been looking for a way to find you, and Boss Tiger will be happy to see that you're safe and sound. ”
"Here, please accept our belated worship!"
The crew of the Sun Pirates said that they wanted to say goodbye again, and Duke hurriedly grabbed them, treating Tiger back then, but he simply felt that it was a pity that he died, and the gratitude of the fish people before was enough to repay the kindness.
"Is Tiger on Fish-Man Island too?" Duke asked.
"No, Boss Tiger isn't on Fish-Man Island." The fish-people glanced at each other, and Aladdin replied: "After separating from you, Boss Tiger felt that the relationship between humans and fish-people should not continue to deteriorate, and he wanted to find like-minded humans to join forces, so he left alone." ”
"Revolutionary Army?" Duke recalls what he said to Tiger that he had probably gone to Valdigo, the island of white dirt.
"Hey, you know what?" Aladdin exclaimed, and then scratched his head embarrassedly: "Please forgive me, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's a big deal, so ......"
"I beg your pardon!"
"Tiger went to find the revolutionary army, it was my idea for him, I didn't expect that guy to dare to go." Duke suddenly laughed: "Fighting for freedom, what an interesting combination!" I don't know what kind of wind and waves they can set off on the sea, it's really interesting to see! ”
Tiger Tiger, the hero of the liberated slaves, and Dorag, the leader of the revolutionary army, have interesting names, and a dragon and a tiger seem to metaphorically mean that the world will be changed by the two.
"So you know it all!" The crew of the Sun Pirates looked at each other and smiled wryly, feeling embarrassed.
"And who is the captain of the Sun Pirates now? Is it very flat? After Duke asked, he suddenly realized: "Yes! I remembered that Jinping also joined the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty. ”
"Yes, our current captain is Brother Jinping, and he is the designated successor of Boss Tiger." Aladdin replied.
"That guy is so annoying!"
The strange voice of yin and yang sounded from the corner, it was Ah Long. There are also a few like-minded fishmen around him, who are obviously very dissatisfied with Jinping being a lackey of the government.
"Shut up, Aaron. How many times have I said that Jinping is to protect Fish-Man Island, and he is a qualified captain...... Also, don't let your benefactor see the joke! Aladdin frowned.
"Tsk!" Aaron spat and fell silent.
Seeing such Aaron, Duke can probably understand why the other party didn't go to the East China Sea, because Tiger didn't die like the original book, and Jinping couldn't suppress him, but Tiger could. Although Aaron hated humans as always, his beloved boss was not dead, and he did not dare to break with Jinping.
"It seems that Nami's adoptive mother can't die...... In this way, I have become her great benefactor! Duke suddenly remembered that because he saved Tiger, Aaron didn't go to the East China Sea, Nami's mother could live a long life, and she could have a happy childhood.
Such a great kindness, not to mention making a personal promise, it should be no problem to take a shot!
"Captain, who is Nami?" Robin frowned when he heard Duke chanting a feminine name.
"Did I say it again? You must have heard it wrong! ”
"I'm pretty sure, I heard you right."
"Oh! I said that you don't know either, her adoptive mother was saved by me, that's it! Somehow, Duke suddenly felt a little weak, and quickly changed the topic: "I didn't expect the fish people to attach so much importance to the affairs of the year, and it will be easy to do next, and directly ask King Neptune to go to the Sea Forest, I think he will not refuse." ”
"Benefactor is going to the Sea Forest? It's a little thing on us, and King Neptune and Princess Otohime will agree. Aladdin said.
"Huh!?" Duke looked at Aladdin in a daze: "You said Princess Otohime...... She's not dead? ”
"What?" Aladdin was confused: "Princess Otohime will die, why do you think so?" ”
Duke quickly reacted: "Some time ago, I read a tabloid newspaper saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess's death caused a lot of harm to people. ”
There is one more person who can shoot a shot...... No, it seems too big!
"Captain, you're very strange today!" Robin was suspicious, and always thought Duke was thinking something strange.
"Haha, I'm thinking about my partner after leaving Fish-Man Island." Duke said this, pulling Robin a few steps behind the fishmen.
"Who are they?" Robin asked, about to enter a new world, and the mystery should be revealed.
"Doflamingo of the Seven Martial Seas and the 'Golden Emperor' Tezzolo!" Duke spoke in astonishment.
Robin was stunned and said slowly: "Why them, are they suitable?" ”
"Why do you say that?"
"As far as I know, Doflamingo has his own arms business and is a competitor to us. Tezzolo is even more impossible, he has too much money to spend, and there is no reason to cooperate with me! Robin analyzed: "Besides, both of them are black and white, and their hands and eyes are all characters, and it is difficult for us to have a substantive say in cooperation with them." ”
"You're right, but you only see the downside, what about the good?" Looking to the future, Duke chuckled, "Doflamingo's arms business is not unique in the New World, he has many competitors, and in order to defeat them, he needs more firepower, cheaper and larger quantities of arms." His dream is not simple, for which he needs to climb more forces to realize his ambitions, and the oligarchs of the arms industry are his first step. ”
"Tezzolo is even simpler, rich people never like money, and Tezzolo is even more so, his early experience made him desperate for wealth. He will not be satisfied with only owning 20% of the world's Bailey, he is more eager to make that proportion 30%, 40%...... Even 100%! ”
"Oh, yes! Tezzolo and Tiger also have a bit of affection, with Tiger as an intermediary, he is easier to persuade than Doflamingo. ”
"Doflamingo has connections, Tezzolo has money, and I have technology! If you have money to earn, why should they reject me? ”
Duke was confident, but Robin was amazed: "Captain, how do you know what they need?" Is it your source of intelligence again? ”
"Of course, I know their weaknesses well, and they won't and won't dare to refuse me."
"Captain, I'm getting more and more curious about your source of information!"
Duke smiled and said, "Don't do this! Robin, curiosity is fatal for women, what if you fall in love with me? ”
Robin pursed his lips and said stupidly.
There were also some things that Duke didn't tell Robin because they were so shocking. Only he himself knows that in five years at most, Luffy will defeat Doflamingo and Tezzolo, and then their power will fall apart, and their industries and connections will be eaten up to fill the gap.
The biggest reason why Duke asked them to cooperate was to take over their power, and as a partner, he failed to save his allies, and taking over their industry would be considered to be a mistake.
……
It's night!
At the Royal Palace of Fish-Man Island, King Neptune and Princess Otohime hosted a grand banquet to welcome the great benefactor of Fish-Man Island. Niptune nodded in agreement to Duke's request to go to the Sea Forest after a little thought, knowing that even if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to stop Duke, so he simply pushed the boat along the river and sold his favor.
After finishing the historical text of the Sea Forest, the three Duke were left in the palace for the night, and Duke drank a lot of wine and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the chaotic void, darkness is the eternal theme, because darkness and light shine, and because of light more darkness is born.
Yin and yang blend and mingle, pure darkness is not despair, it is just a color waiting to be given meaning, no matter how you look at it, darkness is always unique.
In the unknown space, two new people came to report today......
