As the supreme power of the world government, the five old stars are undoubtedly arrogant, in their eyes, everyone can become the chess pieces in his palm, and when they need it, these chess pieces in their control can be placed anywhere on the world chessboard according to their wishes.

West.

On the edge of the manor's pool, Doflamingo sat comfortably on a chaise longue basking in the sun, receiver in hand, a slightly sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly listening to the agent on the other end of the phone.

"Doflamingo, as long as you can fulfill the requirements of the Five Old Stars, you will be able to become a Draco again and return to the Holy Land of Marinjoya."

"It's also a great benefit for you to regain control of the Don Quixote family's kingdom, isn't it?"

"Completing the leap from pirate to world nobleman is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."

"Back then, you killed your own father and cut off his head with your own hands, but now you only need to use your hands to get it back!"

"I really envy you, Doflamingo."

On the other end of the line was a powerful agent of the World Government, Spandain.

Of course, with Doflamingo's current "worth", it is not worth the World Government to send CP0 to communicate, and let Spandain, who had come forward to "solve" O'Hara, come forward, which is already enough to give Doflamingo's face.

"Furfur"

"What an arrogant attitude! World government. ”

"Do you think you're going to eat me? Mr. Spandyne. ”

Spandain's words sounded so harsh to Doflamingo, and the hardships he suffered as a child were the last things he wanted to recall as an adult.

The better Doflamingo is now, and the more successful he seems to outsiders, the more reluctant he is to talk about his past. He is still different from those who like to publicize their "history of struggle" everywhere after becoming famous, Doflamingo, is the other extreme character.

At this time, Doflamingo's tone of voice was a little flat, but the green tendons between his foreheads were exposed, as if he had a grim and hideous expression.

Putting Dressrosa back under the control of the World Government, promising to restore his status as a Draconian, may seem like an "equivalent exchange", but these demands sound to Doflamingo like a fool and a fool.

Dressrosa.

In the West Sea, on the same side of the Red Earth Continent, even the most ignorant people have heard of this name.

The location where One Piece Roger was captured was in Dressrosa, that place, which was the most special admiral in the navy, and the territory of the country's first fate.

Since the establishment of the Dawn Sword Navy Branch, there are few pirates who intend to uproot Dressrosa, but Dressrosa's Navy Branch is still standing today.

What this means, anyone with a normal brain, knows.

No pirate would want to provoke the Tiger Whiskers of the Succession, not even Doflamingo. There is no reason to provoke a powerful and ruthless admiral, Doflamingo has not been brain-dead to this extent.

What's more.

"Become a Dracon?"

"Sounds like a lot of fun."

"It's very difficult for me and I need time to get through it."

"The day I succeed, I'll walk up to Marinjoya myself."

Doflamingo chuckled and agreed.

Then he didn't wait for the other end of the phone to reply, and hung up the phone directly.

"This world is too vast, like a pig in captivity in the Red Earth Continent, what is there for me to yearn for?"

"The chips of the five old stars are not enough!"

"Furfur"

After hanging up the phone, Doflamingo muttered as he picked up the red wine on the table next to him and shook his glass with a drunken expression.

Yes, he agreed to the request of the five old stars on the phone, but Doflamingo had no intention of doing what the five old stars said. When he was a child, he really wanted to turn back into a Draco, but as he grew older and saw more and more things, his yearning for Draco became weaker and weaker.

Doflamingo's experience over the years has come to the conclusion that in this world, power is synonymous with power.

What he wants is power!

For the request made by the world government, Doflamingo just refused inconveniently and directly, but asked him to provoke Jiguo Yuanyi? This is absolutely impossible, at least not yet.

On the other hand, Spandain, who had received an affirmative answer, did not doubt him, so he reported to his superiors, and after the five old stars learned the news, they did not feel much surprise.

As stated at the beginning, they have become accustomed to treating everyone as a pawn that can be moved at will.

February 1507 in the sea calendar.

With a roar resounding on the shore of Gaya Island, a long-lost merchant ship returned to the sea.

"Your ability is really convenient! Bear! ”

The merchant ship landed steadily on the beach, and there was a bear's paw-shaped pit on the beach below the ship, Ji Guoyuan raised his head from the deck of the merchant ship, looked down at the beach, and said with a smile.

This merchant ship is the Jiguo Yuan and his party who have just left the empty island.

Yuan Yi did not return to Qinghai immediately after getting the Thunder Fruit, but took the crew on a sightseeing trip to the Sky Island, and he himself was secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of the historical text.

This process is relatively long, and the relevant plots in the original book have long been almost the same, and it really consumes a lot of his time to find the lost golden bell and the historical text embedded on the pedestal of the golden bell.

Being able to find the text of history, Jiguo Yuanyi is still thanks to the Sandians on the empty island, Yuanyi heard the legend of the Golden Bell from their mouths, and also saw the huge vine towering into the sky, so Yuanyi guessed where the Golden Bell was.

One night, Ji Guoyuan Yi followed the huge vine to the top, and Ji Guoyuan Yi successfully found the lost golden bell and the historical text embedded on the pedestal.

After Guo Yuanyi found the historical text, he secretly rubbed it down, without telling anyone, and after visiting the empty island with everyone for a few days, he took the "unconventional" route back to Gaya Island on Qinghai with the help of the bear's ability.

This trip to the empty island can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

Looking at the familiar blue sea, the people on the boat were all smiling brightly.

After Guo Yuanyi praised the bear, he gently held on to the railing, jumped off the deck, and stepped on the familiar sand with his feet, Ji Guoyuan Yi couldn't help but face the warm sunshine and stretched his waist.

"Where do we go next?"

Mihawk walked to the side of the boat, his hands hanging on the railing, and asked Ji Guoyuan on the beach.

"Next, just"

Ji Guoyuan was about to say something, a news bird slowly flew over from above, Ji Guoyuan raised his head one by one, raised his eyebrows, and took out a coin from his arms and bounced it into the air.

The next second, the news bird grabbed a newspaper from the cloth bag and dropped it.

When the sea breeze blew, the newspaper that fell was held in Mihawk's hand, Ji Guoyuan raised his head and asked Mihawk:

"Mihawk, look at the newspaper, is there anything big happening during this time?"

"Let's see if there are any sea pirates who have emerged during this time!"

As soon as Ji Guoyuan spoke, Mihawk had already quickly scanned the information in the newspaper. This newspaper was a few days ago, and the island of Gaya was in the initial position of the first half of the Great Shipping Route, quite a few roads away from the Chambord Islands, the "center" of intelligence.

Therefore, there is often no way to receive the hottest news first-hand.

The front page of the newspaper was a photo of the burning flag of the World Government, and the headline was "Shocked, the Navy stationed on Reedciled Island attacked the World Government ship!" 》

Mihawk's expression moved slightly when he saw the news, and his face became serious. The other people on the boat also noticed that Mihawk's face was suddenly wrong, and they all surrounded Mihawk.

After poking his head out one by one and quickly browsing the information on the newspaper, Tianzheng's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but whisper:

"General. Something is wrong! ”

Hearing Tianzheng's words, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help frowning: "What's the big deal?"

"Does it have anything to do with us?"

Mihawk didn't say anything, folded the newspaper in his hand, and threw it to Ji Guoyuanyi, who received it, quickly unfolded it, and after a few quick glances, Jiguo Yuanyi also looked slightly condensed, quickly took out the phone bug from his arms, and dialed it out.

"Kas~"

After a few busy tones, the phone bug was quickly picked up, and when Ji Guoyuan saw that the phone was still open, his heart was also relaxed, and on the other end of the phone, Tiger's voice also came:

"I'm Tiger."

"General, you finally have news!"

In the office of Ridchelid Island, Tiger looked at the red-haired, markinged phone bug in front of him, and said with some excitement.

"Tiger, I'm relieved to hear your spirited voice."

"I saw the newspaper that our Navy attacked the ships of the World Government, what is going on?"

Under the questioning of Ji Guoyuanyi, Tiger reported to Ji Guoyuan 1510, and after he reported the cause and effect of the incident, he also told Ji Guoyuan about his judgment.

Tiger felt that their navy might have fallen into the trap set by the world government.

But the bodies of the navy of the shipwrecked patrol ship were partially searched, including Danny, who was killed by Jink's own hands.

The death was completely different from that of the other crew members, and Tiger, who had a keen sense of smell, also found that there was no smell of gunpowder on the other party's body, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.

The cause of Danny's death is strange, and the time of his death is probably also before the patrol ship was shelled.

Tiger is suspicious of the World Government's ships, but he can't find any tangible evidence, which makes Tiger a little distressed.

"General, it's all my reason why something like this happens."

"For this, no matter what punishment I can accept, even if it is to use my life to appease the wrath of the World Government, I have no reason."

"I have only one request, I ask the general to find out the truth of the matter, I don't want my comrades to die in vain."

"I also hope that the general will not implicate other fishmen on Fish-Man Island because of my relationship."

After reporting the situation to Ji Guoyuan, Tiger had an attitude of letting it be dealt with.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan heard this, he re-examined the newspaper in his hand again, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Since you don't want your comrades to die in an unknown way, then do your best to investigate."

"Speaking of Tiger."

"I just heard you say that you suspect the people of the World Government because children and women go missing from time to time on the island, and you see merchant ships coming into contact with World Government ships, right?"

"Watch to see if any children and women have gone missing on the island since this happened."

On the other side of the phone bug, Tiger who heard Jiguoyuan's words immediately stood in place as if struck by lightning. During this time, he was all about the salvage of the sunken ship and the search for the "missing navy".

As soon as Guo Yuan said, he really didn't notice it, and after such a reminder, Tiger immediately came to his senses.

"Yes! General, I'll do it right away. ”

Tiger hung up the phone in a hurry, and then rushed out of the office in a hurry.

Ji Guoyuan looked down at the earpiece that was making a busy sound, hung up the phone with a calm face, and took the phone bug into his arms.

"Finally, you can't bear it anymore?"

"World Government."

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning, it should be, there are a lot of follow-up methods, right?"

"In that case, I'll have to find something for you to do, I'll have to keep you busy!"

Ji Guoyuan pressed one hand on the handle of the knife, gently tapped the handle of the knife, and thought in his heart. A little, a faint smile appeared on Ji Guoyuanichi's face.

In the East China Sea, there are traces of rubber fruits.

Admiral Ji Guoenichi went to the East China Sea this time, and the goal was to search for traces of rubber fruits.

I don't know when it began, an "outrageous news" began to spread in the headquarters of the Navy, Marin Fando. The source of this news has long been impossible to find out who sent it, but such gossip has spread throughout the headquarters.

Up and down the Navy, they all got the news.

Of course, the vast majority of people have a "scoff" mentality about this news. Because the navy couldn't believe that the first admiral of Jiguoyuan would be interested in a rubber fruit, and even went out to find it himself.

There are many people in the headquarters who know that the chief instructor of Zefa gave Ji Guoyuan a natural smoke fruit, but Ji Guoyuan didn't eat it.

Jikuni Yuanichi, who is not interested in precious natural Devil Fruits, would be interested in a superhuman system that turns into rubber when eaten? Are you kidding?

It's just that this news, which most navies scoffed at, entered the ears of the five old stars after being passed on by some people, and the world government that learned the news immediately took action and sent a large number of CP9 to secretly enter the East China Sea.

Of course, these CPs were ordered to search for all kinds of Devil Fruits, because a certain "adult" liked to use Devil Fruits to feed slaves to satisfy his own bad tastes.

This seemingly outrageous reason is flawless

In the eyes of CP, it is not an incomprehensible thing that Tianlong people have such an interest.

Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the East China Sea began to become turbulent.

At the same time, the red-haired pirates, who had been traveling everywhere, also learned the news that there were rubber fruits in the East China Sea from some channel, and immediately took action.

Rubber fruit!

No one else may know it, but the red-haired Shanks knows exactly what this thing is.

He is a man who can gamble his arms for an ethereal legend!
