One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 313: Doflamingo the Middleman
The Kingdom of Kalvan in the North Sea:
This was a ally country, but due to the advent of the Great Pirate Era, they suffered several attacks from pirates, causing their kingdom to suffer considerable losses.

Later, two nearby non-World Government member countries invaded again, causing their kingdom to be in the midst of war.

Before they joined the alliance, they asked for help from the World Government and the Navy. The Navy came twice, but both times they came after the pirates had escaped.

Later, other non-World Government member countries invaded. The Navy could not shirk its responsibility on the grounds that they were not pirates. The World Government even sent a few people over to go through the motions, saying that the enemy was too strong and the World Government needed to send more manpower. Later, they simply stopped coming.

King Kalvan had no choice but to spend a large sum of money to purchase the weapons of the Wuji Pirates from the underground world to equip the kingdom's army, and only then could he barely resist the invasion of the two non-member countries.

"Hey, young master, those idiots from the Kingdom of Kalfan have agreed to buy our arms, and this is the second time they have bought our arms!"

"We bought arms from the Wuji Pirates and then resold them to the Kingdom of Kalfan. After deducting the transportation costs and other expenses, we made twice as much in total. This is simply a huge profit!"

Trebol excitedly leaned close to Doflamingo's face and said excitedly.

"Torrebol, you're too close to me!"

"We were having trouble selling our own weapons before because the weapons of the Wuji Pirates were too powerful."

"Now we don't need to make weapons ourselves, but can directly act as middlemen and earn the difference in price. Then we don't have to bear the problem of weapons losses, and we just need to sit back and count the money."

"By the way, prepare more weapons. When they attack the two non-World Government member states of the Kingdom of Calvan, they will definitely know that the Kingdom of Calvan is using the weapons of the Infinite Pirates. Then you can find someone to tell them that we have the weapons of the Infinite Pirates, and they will come to us to purchase weapons."

"However, we cannot sell them too many weapons. We cannot let them conquer the Kingdom of Kalfan just because they have enough weapons. I want the war between the three countries to continue."

Doflamingo pushed Trebol's face away with disgust.

Although the Wuji Pirates secretly established many chamber of commerce stations in the four seas, it is impossible to cover the entire four seas as the manpower required is too great.

Therefore, the Wuji Pirates will only set up a guild to sell goods in a prosperous kingdom or island.

However, some remote places and kingdoms simply cannot buy the arms of the Promise Pirates. Even if they want to buy them, they need to bear the risk of transporting them back after the purchase.

Therefore, the countries that can buy the arms of the Wuji Pirates are few in the entire four seas.

This gave Doflamingo an opportunity, a chance to act as a middleman.

Doflamingo was very successful as a middleman. Relying on his own abilities, he earned a lot of wealth as a middleman in a short period of time.

Because he doesn't just sell arms, he will transport anything belonging to the Wuji Pirates to some remote islands or kingdoms and sell it for several times or even dozens of times the price.

It’s just because arms are the easiest to sell and have the highest profits, so he put a lot of effort into them.

Not only did he find countries that were at war, but he also took the initiative to provoke wars in secret in countries that were not at war, just to sell more arms at a higher price.

"Hey, young master, you are so wise. This way we can continue to earn the difference in the price of arms from them!"

Torrebol said excitedly.

"Young Master, although we make a lot of money as middlemen, we are constrained by the supply of goods from the Wuji Pirates. Now that we have just started, it may not be a problem, but when we grow bigger and bigger, the arms we purchase now will not be enough!"

Lao G said with some concern.

"Fffffffffff, Lao G, you are right. I have already expressed my desire to purchase more weapons from the Infinity Pirates and to further cooperate with them. The Infinity Pirates will send someone to discuss cooperation with us today, so I asked you all to come here."

Doflamingo laughed.

"So the young master has already thought of this. He is worthy of being the young master!"

Rao G said admiringly.

"Hey, did you hear any sound?!"

Torrebol said suddenly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Just then, they heard a huge roar coming from the sea in the distance.

As the sound got closer, they saw a black dot running towards them from the sea at an extremely fast speed.

When they got closer, they discovered that there was a white mecha motorcycle running on the sea in the distance. Wherever the motorcycle passed, the sea turned into an icy road.

The motorcycle was speeding across the ice at a very fast speed.

On the motorcycle was a woman wearing an icy white outfit and with long flowing red hair.

The woman came to the land from the sea at a very fast speed, and stopped at the shore with a graceful drift brake.

Then he flashed and came not far from Doflamingo and others.

"How could it be her, the eldest daughter of the world's greatest swordsman, Andrea Esdeath!!"

Doflamingo said solemnly as he looked at the woman in front of him.

He originally thought that the Wuji Pirates had sent someone randomly, but he didn't expect that it was actually the Wuji Pirates' eldest princess who came!
Esdeath is different from Gainey and the others. Ever since Esdeath reached the top of the fighting pyramid and was promoted to a great swordsman.

With Esdeath's consent, Li Yuan announced Esdeath's identity to the world. It was from that time on that most people in the world knew that Li Yuan actually had such a big daughter. Before that, the outside world had never received any news.

As soon as the news was released, many people around the world paid close attention to Esdeath. After all, she was Li Yuan's daughter, and her future achievements were destined to be limitless. How could they not pay attention to her?

"If it's really her, why would she come to us? Is she here to see us for training?"

Many of Doflamingo's cadres were also very surprised when they saw Esdeath.

"Doflamingo, I heard that you want to have further arms cooperation with our Infinity Pirates. However, any force in the world that can obtain a large amount of arms from our Infinity Pirates needs to be tested by us."

"Only by passing our test can you get more arms. Otherwise, you can only get a limited amount of arms within a certain period of time."

Esdeath's temperament was extremely cold, but even the words she spoke were so cold that Doflamingo and the others felt like they were facing an iceberg.

"Fffffffffff, our Don Quixote family naturally wants to further cooperate with the Promise Pirates. What is your test?"

After hearing what Esdeath said, Doflamingo naturally wanted to further the cooperation. After all, if the quantity was limited, then his role as a middleman would not be able to expand.

More importantly, once he reaches a cooperation with the Wuji Pirates, he can then expand into other business areas under the guise of the Wuji Pirates, and then the development of his family power will take off directly!

"My father evaluates cadres with a sword!"

"As long as you can catch my father's sword that is comparable to the top combat power, you can be promoted to an ordinary cadre. If you can catch my father's full-strength sword, you can be promoted to a core cadre!"

"Now I also use the sword. As long as you can catch my sword, you will pass the test!"

"If you can't catch it, you'll die!"

If this wasn't her first mission, Esdeath wouldn't have bothered to say so much nonsense and would have just taken up her sword and slashed. As she spoke, the Shura Sword, the supreme blade at her waist, had already been unsheathed, and the cold and murderous sword intent emanated from her body.

She instantly entered the human-beast state, and a cold aura burst out, freezing everything within a hundred meters and turning it into ice crystals.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

More importantly, the ice-white domineering aura on Esdeath rose into the sky and pressed towards Doflamingo and others.

“Na na na na na, how is it possible? That is the same domineering aura as the young master, a king who is one in a million!”

When Trebol and others felt the domineering aura emanating from Esdeath, they suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them. That kind of aura was even more terrifying than that of their own young master.

But how is it possible? It is obvious that his young master and the girl in front of him are the same age. How could his young master be inferior to others!

“Fffffffffff, all of you, get out of the way!!”

Doflamingo also burst out with domineering aura and collided with Esdeath's domineering aura. Blood-red lightning flew up in an instant, blocking all the pressure for Trebol and others.

"Young Master, you have to be careful!"

After hearing what Doflamingo said, Trebol and others ran away immediately!
"Fufufufufu, if it weren't for your good father, you would be dead today!"

Doflamingo's laughter was full of anger. He was so proud that when he heard Esdeath's cold words, murderous intent was already boiling in his heart.

Just as he said, if Esdeath wasn't Li Yuan's daughter, he would have wanted to kill the woman in front of him today!
Esdeath didn't say any more nonsense. An extremely cold aura spread up from the dark red flowing cherry blossoms on the Shura Sword.

After Esdeath learned Li Yuan's Blood Slaughter Sword Technique, she comprehended her own unique sword intent, the Ice Slaughter Sword Intent, based on this!

The great swordsman's Ice-Slaying Sword Intent surged up. The combination of extreme coldness and endless murderous intent formed her unique sword intent, the Ice-Slaying Sword Intent!
Esdeath exerted force with her feet, and the ground suddenly caved in, forming a huge pit that was dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters deep. She disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared in front of Doflamingo in the blink of an eye.

"Ice Slaughter·Iceberg and Sea of ​​Blood!!"

He swung his sword with all his strength, and in an instant endless cold air burst out. The temperature within a thousand meters radius seemed to drop to hundreds of degrees below zero in an instant, and it was freezing cold to the bone.

Even Torrepol, which was several thousand meters away, had his entire sticky body frozen into ice!
Doflamingo, who was under the sword of Esdeath, was the most terrified at this moment, because he felt the danger of death from that sword!!

"Spider Wall!!"

Doflamingo used his most powerful defensive ability with a wave of his hand, and white lines like spider webs quickly formed a spider wall-like defense.

"Crack!!!"

However, Doflamingo's defense, which he thought was the most powerful, was easily split in two by the Shura Sword, and the Shura Sword even continued to chop towards his head with unstoppable force.

Seeing that his most powerful defense was broken by the opponent's sword, Doflamingo was horrified and subconsciously covered his hands with armed color domineering to block the front.

"boom!!!!"

The moment the Shura Sword slashed Doflamingo's hands, the powerful force instantly broke his hands and even slashed his head through his hands.

At the same time, the extreme freezing power froze Doflamingo into an ice block and blasted him away.

Doflamingo fell along the ground like a falling meteorite, slamming into the depths of the earth.

"How is it possible that the young master was defeated!"

"I couldn't even block the opponent's sword, how is this possible!"

Trebol and the others were watching Doflamingo being defeated by a sword, their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Their young master couldn't even take a single sword from the opponent, and more importantly, the opponent was the same age as their young master!

This huge shock that overturned their three views made them forget their identities as subordinates and forget to check whether Doflamingo was dead or alive.

"Hey, that guy is your leader, right? Tell him that he has passed my test and can cooperate further with the Promise Pirates in the future!"

"The maximum amount of arms you can get from the Wuji Pirates every year is 20 billion. Whether you can get more depends on your own abilities in the future!"

After Esdeath retracted her sword, she looked at Trebol and others and said.

After saying that, she walked towards her motorcycle, drove her motorcycle into the sea, and left here directly.

"Young Master, yes, go and save the Young Master!"

After Esdeath left, Trebol and others realized that their young master was not dead, so they rushed into the deep pit and dug out Doflamingo.

However, the Doflamingo they dug out turned out to be a piece of ice crystal.

"Crack!!!"

Just when Trebol and the others were thinking about whether to use a hammer or something to smash the ice and rescue Doflamingo, the ice crystals began to shatter little by little, revealing Doflamingo's body.

"Ahem!!!"

Doflamingo spat out several mouthfuls of blood mixed with ice chips and lay powerless on the ground.

“Fffffffffff, I lost. I actually lost. I couldn’t even take a single sword strike from the opponent!!”

Doflamingo laughed like crazy at this moment, and his laughter was filled with endless anger, frustration, and unwillingness.

I was actually defeated by a sword from a person of my age. This shameful scene actually happened!
"Young Master, when Esdeath left, she said that since you have passed her test, we can get 20 billion in arms from the Wuji Pirates every year!"

Torrebol said excitedly after seeing that his young master was fine.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the arms matters. Don't bother me unless it's something serious!"

Compared to Trebol's excitement, Doflamingo felt more angry and humiliated. This kind of thing seemed like something given to him by Esdeath, which made him extremely unhappy.

It was from this sword that he realized the gap between himself and Esdeath. He wanted to withdraw much of the energy he had previously put into business and put it into cultivation.

Through this lesson, Doflamingo deeply realized that his current strength is still too weak.

The defense created by the power of his String-String Fruit was fragile in front of Esdeath's freezing power. His domineering aura couldn't even block Esdeath's sword. Also, his physical skills were too weak and he failed to fully exert his strength.

When he has achieved success in his cultivation in the future, he will definitely wash away today's shame with his own hands!

　My thoughts are not clear, my typing speed is not fast enough, and I have no more drafts. From now on, I will only write two chapters a day, and each chapter will be 3,000 words. I hope readers will bear with me.

　　Of course, it doesn't mean that there will only be two chapters every day. If the monthly votes reach 300, one more chapter will be added, and if they reach 600, one more chapter will be added, and so on.

　　If one day the author types faster and his thoughts become clearer, he will go back to writing three chapters a day.
