Oni Island, located near Wano Country, is shaped like a giant horn of a ghost.

It is the base of Kaido, the governor of the Hundred Beast Pirates, in the New World.

Kaido, who was drinking wine at this time, suddenly received the news that his big board "Drought" Jack had returned to the ship ahead of schedule.

He didn't care, just asked the other party to hurry over to meet him.

However, when Jack explained the situation with a 'Batman' and a fruit with a unique shape, Kaido immediately showed interest and put aside the gourd with the word "Heaven" printed on it.

"Artificial Devil Fruits? Seven Martial Seas Don Quixote Doflamingo? ”

"Interesting, so funny, Worororo!"

Kaido suddenly laughed loudly, and finally revealed his true face from the darkness.

He was extremely tall and burly, with black hair and a shawl, a pair of horns like dragon horns, a long beard like a dragon's whisker on his mouth, and a dragon scale tattoo on his left arm.

The upper body is naked, there is an X-shaped scar on the right abdomen, a purple shirt hangs on the waist, two gold chains hang on the hem of the blouse, and the lower body wears dark green wide pants, a note tie around the waist, and a purple fluffy cape, like a "demon" in the world.

I saw that he grabbed the trembling 'Baxman', held it in his hand and began to look at it, no matter how hard the other party struggled, it was only in vain.

And Kaido just used a little bit of strength in curiosity, wanting to test this guy's strength, and almost pinched him to death.

This somewhat made Kaido less interested.

He casually threw 'Baxman' back and picked up the artificial devil fruit again.

'Baxman' hurriedly flew away for the rest of his life, and Kaido and Jack didn't care.

"You said I ate this, can you kill me?"

Jack said "honestly": "There is nothing in this world that can kill Boss Kaido." ”

"Worororo, that's right, I want this thing. You go and get the rest back, and bring back the guy who can make it. ”

"No problem, leave it to me."

Jack said confidently, not taking any of the Seven Martial Seas in his eyes at all.

Buy?

It's too much trouble.

Since everyone is a pirate, of course it must be done in the way of a pirate!

Winner takes all, loser exits!

Unless the other party can show a side that he appreciates, maybe it can also make him look the other way and give the other party a chance.

。。。。。。

A few days later, the second auction of the Don Quixote family on the island of Ura was also successfully completed.

The artificial Devil Fruit 'SMILE', which was the finale, was not a big deal this time, but it also managed to fetch a high price above Doflamingo's bottom line.

What's more, with the help of the wind that came out last time.

This time, he didn't need to take out another verification effect, this magical thing has been accepted by the public.

Of course, this is also a reason for his fame as a guarantee.

There's no way he's going to make a name for himself for a few hundred million berry.

"I'm going to start the third auction of 'smile' in 10 days, and the number is still three, and the last three this year!"

"When the auction is over, we will immediately return to Dressrosa to expand the production line of the 'smile' factory, I need more and more. Very many 'smiles'! ”

At the impromptu family meeting, Doflamingo was in high spirits and excited.

It was as if great prospects were already in front of him, and he was left to take them.

To put it bluntly, these ten artificial devil fruits 'smile' are just products he used to test the waters.

But the result was better than he expected.

What if he could produce 50 per year? What about 100 pieces?

A stable income of billions of berries a year can also constantly improve their influence on the sea.

When the time comes, those wall grasses will naturally know how to choose.

"Abel, you keep an eye on Caesar Kuran's side, and you will go back first later, so as not to let other forces contact him, this guy is not an honest man."

"Now that 'smile' is selling so well, I guess when I go back, this guy will take the opportunity to put forward some conditions."

"But as long as it doesn't involve my bottom line, I can satisfy him."

"But the premise is to increase the supply of 'SAD', so that this guy can hurry up and continue to research 'smile', preferably to remove the existing side effects, and develop other lines of artificial devil fruits that are more diverse!"

This success has made it impossible for Doflamingo to hide his ambitions.

The so-called 'SAD' is actually a raw material used in the processing of artificial animal-based devil fruit 'smile', and it is also an application based on the "bloodline factor" discovered by Vegapunk.

Caesar Courant is the only one who can produce 'SAD'.

It's no wonder that Doflamingo explained this matter so carefully.

Abel, who was sitting at the bottom of the seat, nodded slightly, indicating that he would definitely keep an eye on Caesar Kuran, and would not let the rooster that laid golden eggs be snatched away by others.

With Abel's assurance, Doflamingo was very relieved.

Because Abel never let him down, and occasionally surprises him!

After the meeting ended, Abel found Pique before leaving.

"I always think something might happen next, do you want to come with me?"

Picke froze, this was the second time Abel had warned him that there might be danger.

"What did he hear? Did you tell the young master? ”

"It would be nice if there was evidence, that's just my gut feeling. I always felt that the big people in the New World could not have reacted at all, and it was so unusually quiet now, like the calm before the storm. ”

Then Abel continued, "Do you think this kind of illusory speculation might make Captain Dover give up like this?" ”

Peake subconsciously shook his head, it was indeed impossible, and it would not attract attention if he said it.

Doflamingo, who is so proud, probably has long wanted to see the most powerful forces on this sea.

So it's all in vain.

Peake thought for a while, "Then I can't go, after all, the young master is kind to me, and although my strength is not as good as yours, I can also play some roles." ”

Abel had long expected that this guy would not leave, so he directly took out a very small box.

"It contains something that can save your life, and if you are seriously injured, open it and eat it. I got this stuff with a lot of difficulty, and if you don't use it, don't be kind, think about your wife and children. If you don't need it, it's best to remember to give it back to me when the time comes. ”

After Pique took it, he nodded seriously, "I know, thanks." ”

"Hopefully, it's just that I'm thinking too much, and that's it, come back and drink together."

Abel didn't say anything more because he wasn't sure what would happen next.

But what he can be sure of is that something will happen sooner or later, not this time but next time.
