Chapter 249 Porusalino: Marshall D. Teach, the Rubber Fruit Power User! (Fog)
Porusalino specifically mentioned the full name of Saint Musgard, and also mentioned the incident last time. Therefore, whether it was Saint Musgard himself or the CP0 captain next to him, Everyone immediately realized that Porusalino was referring to the scandal in which the Huo Minggu Sage family was deprived of their Tianlong status.
Since that incident, the entire Don Quixote family in the Holy Land has been affected. Members of the Don Quixote family, including Saint Musgarud himself, have been teased by the rest of the Celestial Dragons for a long time...
As a result, the young Saint Musgarud felt bad all over. He was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly, and his voice was trembling:
"You...you...how dare you threaten me?!"
"Nothing to talk about, I'm just stating a fact..."
Porusalino was still smiling, "Besides, instead of wasting time making a fuss here, I think you should go home first and do something happy that you like. After the meeting is over, I will How do you feel about taking Mr. and Mrs. Neptune to visit you in person?”
"..."
After all, he is one of the few Celestial Dragons in the original plot of One Piece who has a lot of drama and awareness. Although Saint Musgarud is not as elite as Leander Palace, his brain is still good. It's just that because of his noble status and restricted environment, he can only think like a pig in captivity most of the time.
But now, after Porusalino poured a basin of cold water on his head, he calmed down - was the reason why he made a big fuss at the World Conference really because of the mermaid slave thing? No, he just wanted to vent his anger and get back the face he had lost after Huo Minggu Sage and his family were deprived of their Tianlong identity. The matter of the mermaid slave was just incidental.
After all, whether it is a mermaid slave or a giant slave, including all kinds of other weird things, they are essentially just things created by the Celestial Dragons who have nothing to do except eating, drinking and having fun all day just for the sake of comparison... If it is really for slaves If today's incident continues to escalate, causing him to once again become the object of ridicule by his compatriots and be punished by the God's Guards, then it is completely putting the cart before the horse, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Moreover, Admiral Porusalino is trusted by the Five Old Stars and has a close relationship with Leandel Palace, one of the most distinguished Celestial Dragons. This is not a secret in the Holy Land - think about it from another angle, if Porusalino When Lino visits him, Saint Musgarud will not only not lose face, but will also have something to brag to his compatriots...
Therefore, the expression on the young Tianlong's face changed again and again, and finally he stretched out his big gloved hand first.
Upon seeing this, Porusalino stepped forward to hold it in cooperation:
"Thank you for your understanding~"
"I am looking forward to your arrival, General Porusalino..."
Looking at the scene in front of them, the Neptunes had the most intuitive and profound understanding of Lieutenant General Garp's comment about Porusalino, "No one understands Marigioa better than him."
The same happened last time on Fish-Man Island. It was obviously a very sensitive conflict and could easily arouse hatred from all parties, but Porusalino turned it into a good thing that everyone was satisfied with...
(It would be great if General Porusalino could become the decision-maker of the world government...)
Mr. and Mrs. Neptune thought of this unexpectedly.
…
After Saint Musgarud left with the guards who had finished cleaning, the atmosphere among some kings became more harmonious. After all, from a certain perspective, they were fighting against foreign enemies together.
Upon seeing this, Porusalino calmly retreated to the edge, leaving the remaining social time before the official meeting to the royal families who decided the future direction of the world.
Princess Otohime, who could only affect some people in the original plot, may bring about positive changes to the world that no one could have expected after this world conference...
Just as Porusalino was thinking this, the phone in his arms vibrated—
As soon as he pressed the answer button, the voice of a young man who had just been cueed by Porusalino came out:
"Hello, Mr. Kizaru? That guy contacted me and we made an appointment to meet in two weeks, blah blah blah..."
"Oh? You must entertain him well, Dover~"
…
The person who was talking to Porusalino was none other than Doflamingo, a former world noble who was once placed by Porusalino on Sky Island Bika - four years ago, that is, when Lieutenant General Garp went to After Sky Island Bika visited him, his mother, and Roger's widow Lujiu, at the age of 20, he received Porusalino's permission and guidance and went to sea to start his own adventure.
Of course, it is not so much an adventure on the sea, but Doflamingo is building his own power according to his own ideas - he did not continue to sail on the Grand Line or start from scratch, but took over all of Canada. Asia Island and several empty islands, and based here in Magic Valley Town, the gangster family named "Don Quixote" continues to grow.
Different from the Don Quixote family he led in the original plot, today's Don Quixote family has a narrower business scope, basically only intelligence selling and weapons trading, plus normal merchandise sales and acting as a middleman at most - but A narrower business scope does not mean that the current Don Quixote family is weak, but it also shows that the current Don Quixote family is strong...
The reason is simple - Doflamingo currently controls almost all monopoly businesses, and his level is far ahead of his peers.
The first is information selling:
As one of the masterminds behind the phone bug network that helped Porusalino build it, Doflamingo was able to obtain some of the most hidden intelligence in the world and update it in real time, even without leaving home. Although it is definitely much less than Porusalino, it is still enough for him to stand out from other intelligence merchants and become a slightly famous "JOKER" in the entire world.
Next is normal product sales:
What kind of goods have the highest value? Nature is a scarce commodity. And Doflamingo, who occupies many empty islands, can easily sell ordinary daily necessities on the empty islands to every corner of "Qinghai" at the price and appearance of luxury goods. Then use these returned funds to further expand production and purchase items on "Qinghai" to feed back his mother and the Kongdao Logistics Base run by Lujiu - the people on Kongdao are happy, and the people on Qinghai are also happy. Now, Doflamingo's Don Quixote family is even happier...
Doflamingo, who idolized Porusalino, learned the former's way of doing things.
Furthermore, it acts as a middleman:
Gaya Island, or the Magic Valley Town on Gaya Island, itself is an important transportation hub on the Grand Line. Before Doflamingo took over here, pirates who spent money like water gathered here at all times.
After Doflamingo took over this place and organized it as the headquarters of the Don Quixote family, the advantage of convenient transportation was further expanded. And strict rules ensure that everyone, whether they are sailors, pirates, or people with other identities, can be treated equally here. Coupled with Doflamingo's status as a well-known intelligence businessman "JOKER", many forces will choose to negotiate and trade here under his recommendation - the Don Quixote family will take a small commission as a way to provide good services. Environmental and security compensation.
Once, twice, three times... After many times, the "Magic Valley Town Trading Point" run by the Don Quixote family has gained a reputation all over the world. There may even be two parties to a transaction who, when they discover that the other party is unwilling to set the transaction location in Magic Valley Town, and the reasons given for refusal are very unconvincing, will suspect whether the other party has ulterior motives...
Finally, there is the arms trade:
Compared with the other three businesses, arms trade can be regarded as the "foundation and strength" of the Don Quixote family, and it is also the core business that Doflamingo attaches most importance to - just like normal merchandise sales, this business It is also inseparable from the strong support of the Sky Island Logistics Base, because the weapons Doflamingo sells are the famous Sky Island Shells.
Flame shells and wind shells can be used to help sailboats sail, while water shells can be used as emergency water storage energy on the sea.
In addition to being used for cooking and heating water for bathing like Sky Island residents, Rebei can also be made into a weapon like a burning sword, or loaded into a spear like Sky Island Priests to increase the power of piercing.
Flash shells can be used as signal lights. Compared with traditional signal lights and semaphores, flash shells are obviously more difficult to ignore - and this shell similar to flash bombs will also have the effect of Porusalino in battle. Laser-like miraculous effects.
Not to mention the slash shells that can absorb the swordsmen's slashes and cause slash damage, and the impact shells that can absorb the impact and then release it. Whether it is used as a power source for ships or as weapons for combat, they are both Very good and almost no barriers.
Of course, although Porusalino pointed out Doflamingo and made him realize the power and preciousness of these shellfish. But in his opinion, it may be a deliberate design by the old thief Oda to make the entire Straw Hat Pirates appear more "pure". Therefore, in the original plot of One Piece, after the Straw Hat Pirates came to the Sky Island to fight hard, they did not add these Skyshell shells are used as equipment to enhance combat power. They only brought a few of them as if they were specialties, and during subsequent voyages, these empty island shells were only used as props for their daily treasure shows.
You know, with almost no effort, these shells can actually instantly improve the combat effectiveness of the "weak trio" in the Straw Hat Pirates - such as Chopper, who can wear shock shells after becoming dexterous, and then wear them when his fur is strengthened. With a volley shell that is ten times more powerful, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Another example is Usopp. As a sniper, he can use the blast shell as a regular firearm, while the slash shell is used to store Zoro's slashes. Take it out at the critical moment to save the siege; and take Nami, she has a flying shell that can make people fly and a laser shell that is so powerful that it can cut down a giant tree with one blow. If she is talented, she only needs to equip these two things and spend a lot of money to make masterpieces. Gaji in the Erma battle suit could cry and faint in the toilet.
But then again, just because the Straw Hat Pirates don't value these Sky Island Shellfish doesn't mean that other people in the world don't realize how precious these things are - the Don Quixote family keeps most of these shellfish After being sold as a limited-edition flagship product, even if the price is extremely high, demand has always been in short supply.
The ordinary kingdoms of the four seas, the elite pirate groups of Paradise, and even the Navy Headquarters and the Yonko Pirates of the New World are all consumers of these precious shellfish.
According to Porusalino's wishes, Doflamingo decided that the person he was going to meet this time was from the New World.
…
Since the launch of the chat room function on the Telephone Bug Network, countless people who were strangers have become friends on the Internet. And some of these netizens who have become friends have chosen to meet in real life and become real friends.
Although all of this happened randomly, Porusalino, as the controller of the phone bug network, would certainly not let go of the opportunity to cause trouble - for example, he brought together Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, and Wulaoxing. The rulers of the world government are placed in a chat room. Although no one from the anonymous parties has taken the initiative to speak, sooner or later, they will have interesting exchanges.
For example, Porusalino randomly assigned two netizens to "Blackbeard" Marshall Teach, one was the anonymous Whitebeard, and the other was Doflamingo.
According to Porusalino's wishes and arrangements, Doflamingo progressed step by step. In the past few years, he first became friends with whom he could exchange phone numbers, and then "inadvertently" leaked his identity as an intelligence dealer... …
And then——
Back to the morning when Porusalino had just left for Marigioa, Doflamingo was inspecting today's day by the elevator of the "Sky Island-Gaya Island" he created using the power of the Thread Fruit. cargo transportation work.
Suddenly, a phone rang:
"Is it 'this stupid and dirty world' brother? I am 'Man's dream will never end', thief hahahahaha!"
"I never thought you would actually call me! 'A man's dream will never end' bro, I am 'this stupid and dirty world', blah blah blah!"
…
Marshall Teach - or Marshall D. Teach, the future Blackbeard, after some false greetings on the phone, he finally expressed that he "wanted to entrust an intelligence businessman netizen to find a weapon for him." Clues to Devil Fruits" idea.
Of course, he would not directly say that this Devil Fruit is a natural dark fruit, but he described the appearance of the fruit in detail, and then confidently found an excuse like this:
"Sachi, the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, you should know Brother World, right? He is a good big brother of my friend. He has been taking good care of my friend for so many years... so my friend is thinking Help him find clues about the fruit he dreams of. It seems to be a devil fruit that can help him improve his cooking skills and make delicious dishes? Thief hahahaha!"
Of course, Teach was very confident in his excuse, because Rocks, the pirate overlord who once almost destroyed the world, had his Devil Fruit ability as the Dark Fruit. In order to completely eliminate his influence in this world, and to prevent his abilities from being inherited by careerists, the World Government has hidden and tampered with all information about this devil fruit - even if someone obtains this devil fruit at this time. Fruit, if you compare it with the devil fruit illustrated book, you will only get the disappointing answer of "the weakest superhuman type, the shit fruit that emits black smoke".
If Doflamingo is really just an ordinary information dealer, then he must have been taken into the ditch by Teach at this time, but it is a pity that everything he and Teach are talking about now is the time traveler Porusali The trap designed by Nuo:
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. 'Dream Ended' Brother, did your friend have wrong information? In my impression, this fruit is not a devil fruit that can improve cooking skills, but a powerful natural-type fruit. Devil fruit..."
"...Hahahaha! Really? I really don't know about this!"
On the other end of the phone, when he heard his intelligence business friend say this, Tiqi, who originally thought that everything was under control, suddenly felt his heart in his throat.
(Oops!)
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That's absolutely right. This Devil Fruit should be the most vicious natural dark fruit in the history of Devil Fruits. It allows the user to have unlimited gravity, and then sucks in everything that comes into contact with darkness, infinitely. Compression and crushing!”
"It can also attract people with abilities from a distance, absorb attacks from people with abilities, and touch people with abilities with their hands, temporarily incapacitating them regardless of their type!"
"...Hahahaha! If this is the case, then this fruit is a very powerful fighting devil fruit!"
Teach was still laughing, but this laughter was now mixed with panic that was hard to detect, and he almost hung up the phone.
(How did he know?! Damn it! What a miscalculation! Surely many people know this?!)
Of course Doflamingo wouldn't let him hang up the phone without saying anything, so he took the initiative to give him a step up:
"Hey! Captain Sachi of the Whitebeard Pirates must know this information. He is a big shot in the new world! But in order not to attract your attention, he deliberately told some white lies. ...What a respectable big brother! Pirates all over the world know that he is the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is obsessed with cooking. What fruits does he want for fighting? Woolen cloth?"
"He must want to find this fruit and give it to one of the new members of the Whitebeard Pirates who is weak in combat, right? After all, this is a cruel new world with so many strong people. After all, the Whitebeards help each other like family members. The Beard Pirates!"
"...Hahahaha, thief! Brother World, what you said makes sense! It makes sense! I heard from my friend that Brother Sachi is indeed respectable! He maybe... No, that's definitely what he thinks! Haha, thief Ha ha……"
"Yes, so we can't let such a good big brother's thoughts go to waste! Don't worry, Brother 'End of Dreams', I will pretend not to know anything and secretly help you find clues to this fruit."
"Thank you so much, Brother World! Hahahaha!"
"Hey! You're welcome, we are close friends!"
Doflamingo said with a smile, and then he changed the subject, "But having said that, 'Dream End' brother, do you have any Devil Fruits that you want to eat? I can also help search for information~ That big guy You should have heard of the information dealer 'JOKER', right? He is my friend..."
(What I want to eat is this dark fruit! Also, don’t call me ‘the end of my dream’, brother! My dream will never end!)
With this thought in his mind, Tiqi immediately pretended to look vulgar so that the phone bug could imitate it truly: "Yes, it's the one that all men want to eat, the Superman type transparent fruit, thief hahahaha~"
"Transparent fruit? Transparent fruits are not very good!"
Doflamingo also pretended to have a disdainful tone, "The Transparent Fruit is for wretched men who are not confident enough in themselves, and what will happen even if they eat it? Have you ever just gone to a women's bath to get your eyesore?" End of Dream 'Brother, your vision is not broad enough!"
"A real man should eat that big fruit that allows any part of the body to change size or become soft or hard at will!"
ps: 5.4k!
ps: To be honest, readers, I have a friend who is also writing a book. But her books are inconvenient to vote and reward, so can you vote for me and reward me? I pass on my feelings and happiness to her! Laughing to death~
