69 Chapter 69: Playboy Benn Beckman

North Blue, Hozer Island.

This is an island near the holy land of Mariejois in North Blue.

Therefore, the island is also very prosperous, and there are many ships and fleets coming and going around it.

Previously, the fleet of the Valtor Armed Transport Regiment returned from Mariejois and anchored here.

But now, a small three-masted sailing ship with a mast-head like a flamingo is slowly sailing into this port.

That's right, this boat is exactly Doflamingo's 'Flamingo', which he is using as the newly built large flagship has still not been delivered by Water Seven.

Anyway, there is no need to bring the giants this time, so Doflamingo came directly on the Flamingo.

When they sailed earlier, Doflamingo got the news, and judged that the Valtro armed transport group would return here to take a rest after arriving at Mariejois to unload.

So Doflamingo also went straight here. Now that he arrived at the port, he saw that there were many people on the pier, replenishing cargo for the ships flying the flag of the Valtor Armed Transport Group.

"Hey, look, that ship is so strange, it looks like a bird, hahaha." On the pier, after a coolie unloaded a package, he pointed to the Flamingo, which happened to be parked in the port, and smiled.

Another older coolie wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just glanced in the direction the guy was pointing, then his face changed suddenly, and he slapped his finger down and said, "Do you want to get killed? Let me guess, you just recently came to North Blue."

"Ah? That's right, I just came here last month..." the young laborer said in confusion.

"I'll teach you a rule, North Blue is not a peaceful place, don't point at the ship when you see it, the ship just now is the Flamingo, the flagship of the most vicious Donquixote Family in North Blue, led by Donquixote Doflamingo, the great pirate with a bounty of 196 million Beli. Annoy him, and we will all die!" the old worker warned.

"Pirate?" The young laborer was stunned for a moment, then swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the warship of a certain branch of North Blue Marine who was resting in the port, and then said: "Don't we need to report to Marine?"

"If you want to die, you can go." The old worker muttered, not bothering to talk to this idiot anymore.

At the same time, Doflamingo also got off the boat. He glanced at the small warship moored not far from his side, and left the port directly without saying anything or worrying.

But at this time on the small warship, a certain Marine soldier swallowed and said, "Colonel, don't we...don't need to do something?"

Marine, with the branch colonel's epaulettes on his body, turned his head and glared at this guy, then said: "Don Quixote Doflamingo can fight fiercely with the Admiral of the headquarters, what should I do? You want me to sacrifice myself so you can sit in my place, right? Idiot!"

After scolding, the colonel said directly: "Okay, okay, hurry up and sail, let's get out of here, so as not to cause any trouble...

"Huh?" The Marine was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But we haven't got any supplies yet..."

"You're still thinking about supplies!? Think about your life!" The colonel kicked the little Marine's ass, cursing.

What a joke, not to mention that the headquarters told the Marines of the North Blue branches not to provoke the Donquixote Family for some reason, even if there is no orders from the headquarters, which Marine branch in North Blue dares to make trouble with the Donquixote Family?

In addition... in the past, everyone was a good brother. When Don Quixote Doflamingo did not become a pirate, every year the major North Blue Marine branches could receive letters from the Donquixote Family, loaded with Beli.

I don't know if it will still be available this year?

Damn, those bastard Marines in the headquarters are always trying to cut off our money!

That's right, in fact, Marine's internal problems are still very serious, especially the branch Marine of the Four Seas, basically all of them have corruption problems.

This is also inevitable, the sea is too vast, so whether it is the Marine or the World Government, the dominance will gradually decline with the distance and traffic problems.

North Blue is too far away from the headquarters of Marineford, so it is normal for each branch to have its own ideas. If you change to a branch with a more honest base leader, the situation may be better, but if you meet someone with selfish intentions, basically the entire base will be affected and follow in his corruption.

Along the way, Doflamingo didn't encounter anyone trying to mess with him. Unlike when he was in West Blue, he was in North Blue, where he was "admired by thousands of people". When walking on the road, people around him would automatically stay away.

Soon, Doflamingo arrived at his destination. He stood at the door of the tavern on Hozer Island and looked up at the signboard.

"Guns and Roses." Doflamingo touched his chin, and then said: "Senor, right here?"

"According to the information given by Vergo, this is the right place, young master." Senor, who followed Doflamingo, responded.

"Okay." Doflamingo smiled expectantly, and then pushed open the door of the tavern.

Since it was noon, the business of the tavern was not very good, and the room was a little deserted.

But in the corner, there was a table that was very lively.

On the entire table, there was only one man, sitting on a chair, holding a wine glass in his hand, and biting a cigarette in his mouth. He was happily bragging about something to the women around him.

Taking another look, there were six women sitting on the table, dressed very boldly, with only a few pieces of cloth tied with ropes all over their bodies, and the two on the left and right were hugging the man, their bodies were about to stick to him from the force.

If there is no accident, these should be the dancers and wine hostesses in the tavern. They were all taken away by that man!

The room was a bit dark, after all, it is a tavern, if you have bright lights, people are reluctant to come, it is not easy to do dirty deals in a place that is too bright.

But even if the light was bad, Doflamingo still had a clear look at the man's appearance.

Black hair, a handsome but not too handsome face, almost thirty years old, with a romantic and chic temperament, with a small braid tied behind his head.

Wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, brown overalls, with a revolver hanging from his waist.

That's right, it was Benn Beckman!

"At that time, a sea king appeared. The head of the sea king was like a lion, but the lower body was like a fish. The local people called it a lion-headed fish. They said it was very ferocious, and many ships would be eaten by it. The crew was terrified at the time, but I was different..." Benn Beckman put his arms around the dancer next to him, bragging.

If you look carefully, you will find that his arms naturally slide down the dancer's shoulders and hang down to her chest. His big hands cover the only fabric, and slowly, he squeezes it twice.

The arrival of Doflamingo did not attract anyone's attention. After all, this is a tavern, all kinds of weird people show up here, and no one bothers to look up from their drink.

Benn Beckman was busy bragging, so naturally he didn't pay attention to Doflamingo.

After confirming his identity, Doflamingo walked towards Beckman at his own pace.

"It was too late to shout out, but I raised my hand and shot the beast in the eyes, just in time to save the guy it was about to eat..." Beckman said braggingly.

As he was talking, he suddenly realized, why is there someone leaning against the pillar next to him?

He slowly turns his head, Don Quixote Doflamingo!???

As a North Blue native and a ship escort, Beckman naturally knows what Doflamingo looks like.

However, he didn't have the fear of Doflamingo like ordinary people. After seeing Doflamingo's appearance clearly, he frowned slightly, feeling that trouble was coming.

He stopped the original topic, patted the backs of the dancers on the left and right and said: "Okay, okay, get out of here, I have guests."

"Huh? Who is it?" the dancers followed Beckman's gaze and looked back.

Under the dim light, the face of the person leaning on the pillar was vaguely seen, and then the faces of the dancers changed drastically, and they didn't dare to delay anything, and hurriedly got up and left the place.

As someone who works in such a well-informed and complex place as a tavern, how could they not recognize Doflamingo?

Simply go two steps forward, and there is now a bounty notice for Doflamingo hanging on the sign board!

Doflamingo, who was leaning on the pillar, saw that everyone had dispersed, smiled slightly and said, "Fufufufu...Sorry for interrupting your 'business'."

Benn Beckman casually took out a new glass from the wine cabinet behind him, put it on the table and said, "Would you like a glass?"

Doflamingo got up from the pillar, took two steps, sat opposite Beckman, and then said: "Alright."

As soon as the words fell, Beckman flicked the cap of the bottle with his thumb, and poured a glass of wine for Doflamingo elegantly.

After finishing, he pushed the wine glass in front of Doflamingo and said, "But let me say first, these are all cheap goods... it may not meet the appetite of the young master of the Don Quixote family."

"Do you know when I first drank in North Blue?" Doflamingo smiled after hearing this.

Beckman seemed a little curious, and asked, "When?"

"About eight or nine years ago, I picked up a bottle with only one-third of the wine left in the trash can in the back alley of a pub...that was the first drink I drank in North Blue, if I'm not wrong, the brand...was also Old Bunker's Ale." Doflamingo raised his glass and downed it.

After putting down the empty wine glass, Doflamingo breathed out a sigh and said, "Ha... It's still the damn taste, it hasn't changed at all!"

On the opposite side, Beckman laughed and said, "Hahahaha... the taste of this wine is sour and astringent, it's really too damn 'good'."
