20 Chapter 20: To Become A Devil Of This Sea!
There is no doubt that the trend of the next era is piracy.
So Doflamingo also wants to catch up with this wave of destiny. Among other things, he is planning to be a Seven Warlords of the Sea once again!
And this is one of the main reasons why he wants to join the pirate industry.
Join the pirate industry, build your own reputation and aura, and then become Seven Warlords of the Sea. With the convenience of Seven Warlords of the Sea, you can walk between black and white, grow and expand your power rapidly.
When the time is right, fight for supremacy!
This is Doflamingo's rough vision of the road ahead.
The defeat of Golden Lion Shiki in the Edd War Sea shocked the whole world.
Although the impact of this naval battle will inevitably radiate to the entire world, at least for now, this wind has not yet blown to West Blue.
In a restaurant, Doflamingo was elegantly dividing the steak with a knife and fork, while listening to the report from his little follower.
"Master Trebol has left Flevance, all the Amber Lead business in Flevance has been planned, and nothing unexpected has happened." A younger brother of the Donquixote Family held a holding a document that he read to Doflamingo.
After the news passed, he turned over a page of the file, and then continued: "Master Pica...huh?"
Doflamingo asked softly after hearing the brief bewilderment, "What happened?"
"Master Pica snatched a Devil Fruit from the pirates in North Blue, it seems to be Paramecia Ishi-Ishi no mi." The little brother said quickly.
(T/N: The Stone-Stone Fruit)
Pica was also one of the four cadres who initially followed him.
The Donquixote Family currently has four kinds of cadres, namely diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs, which are marked by the card sets of playing cards.
And the four top cadres are the four guys who first crowned him as king back then.
They are Diamante, Vergo, Pica, and Trebol.
It can be said that the four of them are currently the strongest four in the Donquixote Family except for Doflamingo.
Among them, Diamante is currently ranked first among the cadres, followed by Vergo, then Pica, and finally Trebol, the snotty man.
In terms of talent, Doflamingo feels that among the four major cadres under him, only Vergo and Diamante have strengths, and they are worthy of his own efforts to cultivate.
As for Pica and Trebol, there is really no value in cultivating strength. Pica is okay, at least he looks tall and big, and he can pretend to be strong. Trebol is simply weak and sick, thin and like a firewood stick, if it wasn't for the ability to use his sticky fruit, he would really have no deterrent force for a cadre at all.
Although my family members are extremely loyal, they are really not too good!
"Stone fruit?" Doflamingo took a bite of the beef, thought for a while, and then said, "Tell Pica, he can decide for himself, whether he eats it or gives it to someone else, it doesn't matter."
The stone fruit is pretty decent. The power looks like Logia, but it is actually a Paramecia fruit. The main direction of the ability is the assimilation of rocks.
To be honest, it may be good for civil engineering, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Doflamingo feels that it is not as good as Paramecia's steel fruit.
In the original story, Pica should have eaten the fruit directly, and then become a stone man.
Doflamingo has no opinion on this, as long as he likes it then it's okay, anyway, Doflamingo himself does not have too high expectations for Pica, so he can do whatever he likes.
Last year, the Donquixote Family bought a paramecia wing fruit from the dark world, and Diamante almost ate it.
Luckily Doflamingo stopped him.
As one of the few cadres with outstanding talents, Doflamingo hopes to make Diamante grow stronger in the future, so don't just eat any weird Devil Fruit.
Speaking of these, Doflamingo thought of the future cadre reserve and development of the Donquixote Family.
If you want to become stronger in the world, you must have a professional and reliable team - this principle is the same in all walks of life.
Doflamingo plans to wait for the right time to become a pirate. Then forming a pirate group will not be much easier than it is now. Pirates are indeed the industry outlet of the next era, but this industry has always been very dangerous.
It is far more dangerous than his smuggling now, every day they walk on a knife-edge.
At that time he will have to find powerful companions, otherwise, how can they, the Donquixote Family, these rotten tomatoes and half-boiled eggs, make Don Quixote great again?
Loyalty alone cannot accomplish anything!
Thinking of this, Doflamingo still feels a little pity. If he was born decades earlier, he might have fooled the two monsters Sakazuki and Borsalino out of North Blue, and started a business together?
Looking at it now, although North Blue still has great potential, it will take too much time to come to fruition. The next generation of powerhouses in North Blue are the 'Generation of Evil'.
Like Trafalgar Law, Basil Hawkins, X-Drake, and the rest.
The one who was barely able to catch up, and was not particularly outstanding, was Bellamy.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to gather a group of powerful partners from North Blue in a short period of time. In the end, he has to plan carefully after flying the pirate flag to go to sea.
Now, it is better to do what he can first, and that is to train Vergo and Diamante.
Needless to say, Vergo is very talented in Haki and martial arts. As for Diamante, although he has a weird personality, he is actually a very powerful swordsman!
He was also Doflamingo's 'fencing teacher' when he was young.
Speaking of swordsmanship, Doflamingo seems to be somewhat talented in this area, but he is not energetic enough. In the end, he still gave priority to Haki over kendo.
Thinking about it now, when the time is right, it might be a reasonable choice to pick up the way of the sword again?
Just when Doflamingo was listening to the summary of the family's trivial matters and thinking random thoughts, a small fleet of six ships rushed back to the Ohara sea area.
On the leading flagship, Olvia was standing on the deck, holding a Devil Fruit with a very strange pattern in her hand.
After more than half a year, Olvia and her fleet finally succeeded in bringing back the Devil Fruit that Doflamingo wanted. The only pity is that they only returned with six ships though they set out with eight.
But in fact, this is a very lucky situation. After all, Sleeping Ancient Town is buried in New World. In the New World, if your luck is bad, your entire fleet will disappear.
Didn't it happen to a certain pirate overlord recently?
The Donquixote Family naturally arranged some watchers at the port, so when Olvia's fleet approached, someone quickly passed the news to Doflamingo.
And when Olvia got off the boat, Doflamingo was already waiting for her on the pier.
The sea breeze blows over the pink flamingo feather coat on Doflamingo's shoulders, making the feathers move with the wind. He is wearing a wine red shirt inside, decent black suit pants and crocodile leather shoes.
Coupled with Doflamingo's already tall figure, excellent appearance and short light blonde hair, just standing there he looks very handsome.
With Doflamingo's natural temperament, the corners of his mouth are only slightly raised, with a very ordinary smile, but this smile looks evil and awe-inspiring when placed on him.
Even though she hated such a despicable person like Doflamingo in her heart, Olvia had to admit that this guy was indeed handsome.
She took a deep breath, praying in her heart that the bastard Doflamingo would have some credibility, took the Devil Fruit and quickly boarded the pier, and then walked forward.
Doflamingo seemed to be calm at this time, but in fact, he was also a little excited!
The Donquixote Family has been trading Devil Fruits in North Blue all these years, but the Devil Fruit in Olvia's hand is probably the only one that Doflamingo has seen in the seven years since he came to this world that qualifies to catch his attention!
