Chapter 248: Polusalino: Rubber Fruit Ability Marshall D. Teach! (Fog)
Polusalino specifically mentioned the full name of Musgarud Saint and also talked about the incident last time, so both Musgarud Saint himself and the CP0 captain beside him immediately realized that Polusalino was referring to the scandal of Huo Minggusheng's family being deprived of the identity of the Celestial Dragons.
Since that incident, the entire Don Quixote family in the Holy Land has been affected, and the members of the Don Quixote family, including the Saint of Musgarud himself, have been teased by the rest of the Celestial Dragons for a long time......
As a result, the whole person of the young Musgarud Saint was not good, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly, and his voice was trembling:
"You...... You...... How dare you threaten me?! β
"No, I'm just stating a fact......"
"And, instead of wasting your time making a fuss here, I think you might as well go home and do something fun you like." How would you like me to take Mr. and Mrs. Neptune to visit you in person after the meeting? β
ββ¦β¦β
After all, he is one of the few Celestial Dragons who have a lot of drama and consciousness in the original plot of the Pirates, and although Musgarud Saint is not as elite as Leander Palace, his brain is still easy to use. It's just that because of the nobility of his identity and the limited environment he is in, he can only think like a pig in captivity most of the time.
And now, being poured a basin of cold water on his head by Polusalino, he has also calmed down - is the reason why he made a big fuss at the World Conference venue really because of the mermaid slave matter? No, he just wanted to vent his evil anger and get back the face he had lost after Huo Minggusheng's family was deprived of the identity of the Tianlong people, and the matter of the mermaid slave was just incidental.
After all, whether it is a mermaid slave or a giant slave, including all kinds of other strange things, the essence is just something that these Celestial Dragons who have nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun all day long are made up for the sake of comparison...... If you really continue to make a big deal about today's affairs for the sake of slaves, resulting in being the object of ridicule by your compatriots again, and being punished by the Divine Guard, then you will completely put the cart before the horse, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, Admiral Polusalino is trusted by the five old stars, and has a close relationship with one of the most noble Celestial Dragons, the Leandel Palace, which is not a secret in the Holy Land - from another point of view, if Polusalino visits him at that time, Musgarud Saint will not only not lose face, but will have something to brag about to his compatriots......
Therefore, the expression on the young Celestial Dragon's face changed and changed, and finally his big gloved hand was the first to reach out.
Seeing this, Polusalino stepped forward and held it in cooperation:
"Thank you for your understanding~"
"Young Master Ben is looking forward to your arrival, General Polusalino......"
Looking at this scene in front of them, the Neptons had the most intuitive and profound understanding of Lieutenant General Karp's evaluation of Polusalino's sentence that "no one knows Mary Joya better than him".
Last time on Fish-Man Island, it was a very sensitive and very easy to cause hatred from all sides, but Polusalino turned it into a good thing that everyone was satisfied with......
(If only General Polusalino could be the decision-maker of the world government...... οΌ
The Neptons thought so unexpectedly.
β¦β¦
After the departure of Saint Musgarud with the cleaning guards, the atmosphere of some of the kings became more harmonious, after all, in a way, they were able to deal with the foreign enemy together.
Seeing this, Polusalino quietly retreated to the margins, handing over the remaining social time before the opening of the formal meeting to these royal families who would determine the future direction of the world.
Princess Otohime, who could only affect some people in the original plot, may bring benign changes to the world that no one could have expected after this world conference......
Just as Polusalino was thinking this, the phone in his arms vibrated insecticallyβ
As soon as he pressed the answer button, the voice of a young man who had just been cued by Polusalino came out:
"Hey, Mr. Yellow Ape? The one contacted me, and we made an appointment to meet in two weeks, and we ......."
"Oh? Be sure to entertain him, Dover~"
β¦β¦
The person who spoke to Polusalino was none other than Doflamingo, a former world nobleman who had been placed by Polusalino in the Sky Island Bicca - four years ago, after Lieutenant General Karp went to visit him and his mother in the Sky Island Bicca, as well as Roger's bereavement, at the age of 20, he got Polusalino's permission and guidance to go to sea and start his own adventure.
Of course, it was not so much an adventure at sea as Doflamingo was building his own power according to his own ideas - he did not continue sailing on the great voyage or starting from scratch, but took over the island of Gaia and several empty islands, and used the town of Magic Valley as a base to grow the gangster family called "Don Quixote".
Unlike the Don Quixote family led by him in the original plot, today's Don Quixote family has a narrower business scope, basically only intelligence sales and weapons trade, at most plus normal commodity sales and acting as intermediaries - but a narrower business scope does not mean that the Don Quixote family is weak now, but also shows the strength of the current Don Quixote family......
The reason is simple - what Doflamingo is now manipulating is almost all monopoly business, and the level is much ahead of its peers.
The first is intelligence trafficking:
As one of the people behind Polusalino's phone bug network, Doflamingo was able to get his hands on some of the world's most hidden information and update it in real time, even without leaving his home. ALTHOUGH IT IS CERTAINLY MUCH LESS THAN POLUSALINO, IT IS STILL ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM PROUD OF OTHER INTELLIGENCE MERCHANTS AND BECOME A WELL-KNOWN "JOKER" IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
The second is the normal sale of goods:
What kind of goods have the highest value? Nature is a scarce commodity. Doflamingo, who occupies many empty islands, can easily sell ordinary daily necessities on the empty islands to all corners of "Qinghai" at the price and attitude of luxury. And then use the funds to further expand production, and buy goods on "Qinghai", to feed back to his mother and the logistics base of the empty island run by Rujiu, the people of the empty island are happy, the people on the Qinghai are also happy, and the Don Quixote family of Doflamingo is even happier......
Doflamingo, who worshipped Polusalino as his object of worship, learned the former's way of doing things.
The second is to act as an intermediary:
The island of Gaya, or the town of Magic Valley on the island of Gaya, was itself an important transportation hub on the Great Shipping Route, and it was bustling with pirates who spent a lot of money until Doflamingo took over.
After Doflamingo took over and organized it as the home base of the Don Quixote family, the convenience of transportation was further expanded. And strict rules make it possible for people from the navy, pirates, and other identities to be treated the same here. COUPLED WITH DOFLAMINGO'S OWN STATUS AS A WELL-KNOWN INTELLIGENCE MERCHANT "JOKER", MANY FORCES WILL CHOOSE TO NEGOTIATE DEALS HERE ON HIS RECOMMENDATION - THE DON QUIJOTE FAMILY WILL TAKE A SMALL COMMISSION AS COMPENSATION FOR PROVIDING A GOOD ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY.
Once, twice, three times...... After many times, the "Magic Valley Town Trading Point" run by the Don Quixote family has already gained a reputation all over the world. There will even be parties to the transaction who will wonder if the other party has ulterior motives when they find that the other party is unwilling to set the transaction location in Magic Valley Town, and the reasons given for refusal are very unconvincing......
Finally, the arms trade:
Compared with the other three businesses, the arms trade can be regarded as the "foundation of growth" of the Don Quixote family, and it is also the core business that Doflamingo attaches the most importance to - just like the normal sale of goods, this business is also inseparable from the strong support of the Sky Island Logistics Base, because the weapons sold by Doflamingo are the famous Sky Island shells.
Flame shells and wind shells can be used to help sailboats, and water shells can be used as emergency water storage energy sources on the sea.
In addition to being used to cook food and heat water for bathing like the inhabitants of the Sky Island, Rebe can also be crafted into a weapon like a flaming sword, or loaded into a spear like the Sky Island Priest to increase the power of the piercing.
The glitter shell can be used as a signal light, and compared to the traditional signal light and flag, it is obvious that the glitter shell is more difficult to ignore - and this flashbang-like shell will also have the same miraculous effect as Polusalino's laser in battle.
Not to mention the slash shells that can absorb the slashes of swordsmen, the slash shells that can deal slash damage, and the shock shells that can absorb the impact and then release it, both as a power source for ships and a weapon for combat, are very good, and there is almost no threshold.
Of course, although Polusalino pointed out Doflamingo and made the latter realize the power and preciousness of these shellfish. But in his opinion, perhaps the old thief Oda deliberately designed it in order to make the entire Straw Hat Pirates appear more "pure", so in the original plot of the Pirates, after the Straw Hat Pirates came to the Sky Island to fight hard, they did not use these Sky Island shells as equipment to improve their combat power. They only brought a little bit as if they were bringing a specialty, and in the subsequent voyages, these empty island shells were only used by them as props for daily treasure play.
You know, with almost no brains, these shells can actually instantly improve the combat effectiveness of the "weak trio" in the Straw Hat Pirates - such as Chopper, after it is dexterous, it brings shock shells, and when its fur is strengthened, it brings ten times the power of the platoon shells, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not to be underestimated; Another example is Usopp, as a sniper, he can use Fengbei as a regular firearm for normal use, and Slash Bei is used to store Zoro's slash and take it out at critical moments to break the siege; Another example is Nami, the Shobei who can make people fly and the laser shell that is so powerful that it can cut off giant trees with one blow, as long as she is talented, as long as she is equipped with these two things, Kaji, who spent a lot of money to make Jerma combat suits, can cry and faint directly in the toilet.
But then again, just because the Straw Hat Pirates don't value these empty island shells doesn't mean that the rest of the world doesn't realize the preciousness of these things - after the Don Quixote family sold most of these shellfish as a limited number of products, even if the price was extremely high, it was always in short supply.
The ordinary kingdoms of the four seas, the elite pirates of Paradise, and even the Four Emperor Pirates of the Navy Headquarters and the New World are all consumers of these precious shellfish.
And Doflamingo, according to Porusalino's meaning, the person he was going to meet this time was from the New World.
β¦β¦
Since the phone bug network launched the chat room feature, countless people who were originally strangers have become friends on the Internet. And among these netizens who have become friends, some of them have chosen the face base in reality and become friends in reality.
Although all this happened randomly, Porusalino, as the controller of the telephone bug network, certainly did not miss the opportunity to make trouble - for example, he put the dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army, and the five old stars, the rulers of the world government, in a chat room, although no one on either side of the anonymous side has taken the initiative to speak, but sooner or later, they will have an interesting exchange.
For example, Polusalino randomly arranged two netizens for "Blackbeard" Marshall Titch, one is the anonymous Whitebeard, and the other is Doflamingo.
According to Polusalino's intentions and arrangement, Doflamingo gradually became friends with the other party in the past few years, and then "inadvertently" revealed his identity as an intelligence merchant......
And then-
Back in time, on the morning when Polusalino had just left for Marijoya, Doflamingo was by the elevator of the "Sky Island-Gaya Island" that he had created with the power of the Thread Fruit, inspecting the transportation of goods for the day.
Suddenly, a phone rang:
"Is it 'this stupid and dirty world' dude? I'm 'man's dream never ends', thief hahahahaha! β
"I didn't expect you to call me!" Man's dreams never end' Brother, I'm 'this stupid and dirty world', Bang! β
β¦β¦
Marshall Titch β or Marshall M. D. Titch, the future Blackbeard, finally expressed the idea of "entrusting an intelligence merchant netizen to find a clue to a Devil Fruit for him" after a false greeting on the phone.
Of course, he wouldn't directly say that this Devil Fruit was a natural Dark Fruit, but he specifically described the appearance of this fruit, and then confidently found such an excuse:
"Captain Thatch, Captain of the Fourth Team of the Whitebeard Pirates, you should know the 'World' brother, right? He is a good big brother to my friend and has taken good care of my friend for so many years...... So my friend thought of helping him find the clue to the fruit he had been dreaming of, what seemed to be the devil fruit that would help him improve his cooking skills and make delicious dishes? Thief hahaha! β
Of course, Titch is very confident in his excuse, because Locks, the pirate overlord who once almost destroyed the world, has a Devil Fruit ability that is the Dark Fruit. And in order to completely eliminate his influence in this world, and in order to prevent his abilities from being inherited by careerists, the World Government has hidden and tampered with all information about this Devil Fruit - even if someone gets this fruit at this time, and compares it with the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, they will only get the disappointing answer of "the weakest superhuman line, black smoke shit fruit".
If Doflamingo was really just an ordinary intelligence monger, then he must have been taken into the ditch by Titch at this time, but unfortunately, everything he was talking about with Titch now was a trap designed by Polusalino the Traverser:
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
'Boom Boom!' Dream end' Brother, is your friend inaccurate? I don't think this fruit is a Devil Fruit that can improve my cooking skills, but a powerful natural Devil Fruit......
ββ¦β¦ Thief hahaha! Is it? I really don't know about that! β
On the other end of the phone, hearing his intelligence businessman netizen say this, Titch's heart, who originally thought that everything was under control, suddenly hung in his throat.
(Oops!) )
"Boom! Absolutely, this Devil Fruit should be known as the most vicious natural Dark Fruit in the history of Devil Fruits, it can allow the capable to have infinite gravity, and then suck in everything that comes into contact with the darkness, infinitely compress and shatter! β
"It can also attract the capable in the air, or absorb the attack of the capable person, as well as touch the capable person with your hand, regardless of the type of function that temporarily incapacitates it!"
ββ¦β¦ Thief hahaha! If that's the case, then this fruit is a very powerful battle-type devil fruit! β
Titch was still laughing, but there was a little imperceptible panic in his laughter, and he almost hung up the phone.
(How did he know?!) Damn it! Miscalculated! Wouldn't everyone know?! οΌ
Doflamingo, of course, would not let him have nothing to say and hang up the phone, so he took the initiative to give him a step:
"Boom! Captain Thatch of the Whitebeard Pirates must know this information, he's a big man in the New World! It's just that in order not to attract your attention, he deliberately told some white lies...... What a respectable big brother! Pirates all over the world know that as the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, he is immersed in cooking, what kind of combat fruit does he want? β
"He must want to find this fruit and give it to any of your newcomers in the Whitebeard Pirates who have very weak combat ability, right? After all, it's a cruel new world with so many strong people, and after all, it's a group of whitebeard pirates who help each other like family! β
ββ¦β¦ Thief hahaha! 'World' brother, you have a point! Reasonable! I've heard from my friends that Big Thatch is truly respectable! He maybe...... No, that's what he must have thought! Thief hahaha......"
"yes, so we can't let such a good big brother's mind go to waste! Don't worry, Brother 'Dream End', I'll pretend I don't know anything and secretly help you find clues to this fruit. β
"Thank you so much, Brother 'World'! Thief hahaha! β
"Boom! You're welcome, we're best friends! β
Doflamingo said with a smile, and then he changed his words, "But then again, 'Dream End' brother, do you have any Devil Fruit that you want to eat?" I can also help search for information~ You must have heard of that big intelligence merchant 'JOKER', right? He's my friend......"
(That's what Lao Tzu wants to eat!) Also, don't call Lao Tzu 'dream over' brother! Lao Tzu's dream will never end! οΌ
Titch, who was thinking so in his heart, immediately pretended to be obscene, so that the phone bug could be realistically imitated: "Yes, it's the one that men want to eat, Superman is a transparent fruit, a thief hahahaha~"
"Transparent fruit? Transparent fruits are not good! β
Doflamingo also pretended to be disdainful, "The transparent fruit is for obscene men who are not confident enough in themselves, and even if they eat it, what can they do?" Have you ever been to a women's bath? 'Dream End' brother, your horizons are not broad enough! β
"A real man should eat the fruit that is very large and can make any part of the body change in size or soften and harden as he wants!"
