Chapter 132: Sengoku, The Water Is Too Deep Here, You Can't Stand It!

As Spandine said, compared with the benefits broughg by the Shichibukai position, this price is insignificant.

Doflamingo himself wanted to obtain the identity of Shichibukai, so he didn't hesitate at this time. Stretching out his hand, Spandine respectfully took out a pen from his pocket as if he rehearsed.

Doflamingo took the pen, and immediately signed his name on the contract parchment,

Don Quixote Doflamingo. From this moment, Doflamingo changed camps again.

In the beginning, he was a Celestial Dragon, then downgraded into a normal civilian. After his plan to restore his former status of Celestial Dragon failed, his alignment changed into becoming a member of the underworld. After the Cervantes incident, his camp transition into pirates. Now, his faction has transformed into a member of the Shichibukai, once again standing under the banner of the World Government.

After throwing the parchment and pen towards Spandine, Doflamingo looked at Neptune, who hadn't calmed down yet, and said, "King Neptune, it seems that we are now both under the banner of the world government".

Neptune regained his calmness slightly, then looked at Doflamingo with complicated eyes and emotion, finally nodded and said: "That's right, Young Master Doflamingo. Since that's the case, we, fish men island, can start preparations immediately." "Fufufufufufu, once I gain a firm foothold in the New World, Queen will arrange our cooperation as soon as possible." Doflamingo said with a smile.

Spandine who was listening to the conversation, was also a little curious. Are Master Doflamingo and King Neptune going to enter into a partnership?

And looking at the current situation, it seems that their relationship is quite close.

Thinking of this, Spandine was taken aback, oh no, wasn't his attitude towards Neptune a bit unfriendly? When Spandine learned that Doflamingo was meeting with Neptune, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Spandine's initial impression was that Doflamingo might not have a positive view of Fish-Man Island, after all this is a former Celestial Dragon who had slaves and was very cruel (still is).

So he even suspected at first that Doflamingo wanted to pick some beautiful mermaid maids from Neptune's palace and bring them back for fun. He didn't think Doflamingo will have any deep connection with Neptune.

Therefore, even though Spandine did a good job on the surface, his eyes and demeanor still naturally showed a disdainful attitude.

But it's different now. Young Master Doflamingo seems to have a very close relationship with Neptune, and the two sides seem to have a enter into a bussines partnership. This makes him feel a little regretfull. Is it too late to make amends with fish men island and King Neptune?

In fact, the reason why Doflamingo talked about the bussines deal with Neptune in front of Spandine was because he wants to use him as platform for fish men island.

H wants to sell the message that Fish-Man Island will be under his banner to the world government of the world. This can count as selling Neptune a favor.

Soon, after chatting with Neptune for a while, Doflamingo looked at Spandine again and said, "Now we belong to the same camp, right?"

Upon hearing this, Spandine immediately said in a flattering manner: "Young Master, your words have always remain in our hearts".

Doflamingo smiled, and did not accept Spandine's flattery, but continued: "The Gorosei, did they convey any other message?".

Spandine's expression became a little more serious when he heard this, and he said seriously: "Yes, Young Master, the Gorosei also said that you should be carefull after you enter the New World, because of your previous actions in paradise the bigmom pirates in the new world will not let the transgresion go."

"So will the Gorosei send Marines to help me?" Doflamingo suddenly asked with a smile. Spandine was stunned for a moment, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Cough... this... I'm afraid...".

"Fufufufufu." ​​Doflamingo laughed, then raised his hand to signal Spandine to skip this topic and continue talking.

Spandine also hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Charlotte Linlin is a veteran and strong pirate in the New World, and the Big Mom Pirates can also be said to be among the current first-class silver medalist, second only to Whitebeard, the current pirate overlord, whether it is strength or prestige, they are very important in the New World.

Doflamingo lifted his glass from the table, took a sip, and nodded to show that Spandine was right.

Spandine continued: "Young Master, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the New World, you must first gain prestige. The Big Mom Pirates are undoubtedly a very good choice. At the same time, this may also lead to your first battle as a Shichibukai, so the Gorosei hope you can show your prowse".

They didn't say they want him to win, and they didn't even put too much pressure on Doflamingo. He just needs to show a good amount of strenght. It can be seen that in the hearts of the Gorosei, they believe that Doflamingo and his Donquixote Family have little chance of winning. Not to mention the Five Elders, even Spandine thinks so, after all, Charlotte Linlin is a well-known monster, Doflamingo... this year is only twenty years old.

Whether it is the accumulation of strength and background, or depth of combat experience, they are not at the same level at all.

Spandine felt that no matter who it is, they all have to build their foundation brick by brick. Even if someone is extremely talented, their strength gained from one year of training can't compare with decades right?(Cough cough Luffy, Zoro, Sanji).

If Doflamingo knew what he was thinking, he would mention a certain Straw Hat boy, who only after debuting for two and a half years, can fight Kaido, Charlotte Linlin and other extremely talented monsters who have ruled the sea for decades. (Destiny baby, god I hate the whole Nika Sht, I would not care if Lufy inherited Joyboy's will but the whole df crap pissed me off).

So this time, for the world government, as long as Doflamingo doesn't lose too badly, doesn't get killed, or is forced out of the New World, it's fine. The rest can be whitewashed by public opinion. As long as he can gain a foothold in New World, it can be considered a 'victory' for the World Government.

This means that apart from the Marines in the New World, which is losing more and more control and whose influence has weakened a lot, the World Government will have a new force instated, at least on the surface, it belongs to the World Government!

What is the purpose of recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Isn't it to increase their control and influence? Doflamingo raised his brows and said, "I see, go back and tell the Gorosei, that I will show my strength."

To be honest, Doflamingo himself does not have absolute confidence that he will be able to win the battle against the big mom pirates.

But he is really confident that he can lead the Donquixote Family to gain a foothold in the New World, and avoid being wiped out by the Big Mom pirates. 

Speaking of the Big Mom Pirates, Doflamingo thought of the prison located underneath his cabin, where Charlotte Katakuri was still locked up.

Originally, Doflamingo was thinking that after entering the New World, when the time is right, he could use Katakuri as a bargaining chip to exchange for the identity of Seven Warlords of the Sea or something similar with the World Government.

Now there is no need to take such actions, because before he could take any further actions, the World Government has already taken the initiative to send the position of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Now there is nothing that requires the help of the World Government, so it is naturally impossible to send Katakuri over to the World Government for nothing.

A better idea now is to use Katakuri to exchange for some benefits with the Big Mom pirates.

At first, Doflamingo didn't think too much about it, but now he has a new idea. The value of Katakuri is far from his own value, in fact, he should consider calculating again.

That is, Katakuri himself, to Charlotte Linlin, also represents the mystery of Pirate King Roger! (His knowledge of the Road Poneglyph). After all, according to Olvia's words, Katakuri was sent by Big Mom to find the whereabouts and secrets of the Roger Pirates.

Meanwhile, in the first half of the Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku looked at Fleet Admiral Kong who was sitting behind the desk with a dazed expression, and said, "But, didn't you say before that our Marines has the right to review and select the Shichinukai? So Why? How is it that Doflamingo didn't go through any procedures and directly became a Shichihukai?"

Although there was such a consideration last time, Sengoku really hasn't weighed all the gains and losses clearly, nor has he considered clearly if they should make Doflamingo a Shichibukai or not.

As a result, he was eating hot pot and singing in his office today, and suddenly he was called by the Fleet Admiral for a meeting. Then, the news that Doflamingo, that bastard, became a Shichibukai out of nowhere made Sengoku very confused!

Why is it that just as Doflamingo became a Shichibukai they're just finding out?

Fleet Admiral Kong's expression was also a bit ugly, but he could only say helplessly: "Don't worry too much, this time it's a special case, the power of granted to our Marine will not change in the subsequent selection of the Shichibukai"

"Why is it a special case?" Sengoku asked a little unconvinced.

Fleet Admiral Kong sighed a little, and said in a helpless tone: "What can I do? Saint Topman Warcury called me himself and told me about the matter of Doflamingo becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea. He has already arranged it."

"He asked our Marines to just cooperate. Sengoku, how can I refuse in this situation?"

Sengoku was stunned for a moment, good lord, the Gorosei themself arranged the matter?

"This Doflamingo, didn't he originally want to restore his Celestial Dragon status." Sengoku said with some doubts.

Fleet Admiral Kong also said softly: "It was originally impossible, but with the participation of the Gorosei, who can say for sure? In short, try not to provoke this guy. His background is too troublesome so Marines might not be able to remove him.
