Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

When he saw that Xia Che was about to leave, after crying in Bonnie's arms for a while, Da Xiong wiped away his tears, stood up, and told Bonnie that he would come to pick her up when she was better, and that he should go to work.

Perhaps in his view, these things happened because of the treatment of Bonnie, so how could he, as a father, hide away at this time?

Therefore, he is prepared to work even harder to solve those problems for his boss.

However, considering that he didn't know the situation with the Don Quixote family yet, Xia Che decided to leave Da Xiong here for the time being and would notify him later when he needed to go out to work.

then.

Shache then arrived at the office and looked at Robin, who was already waiting inside. "Are you sure it's the Donquixote Family?"

“It’s confirmed!” Robin looked up and said, “Those two Donquixote Family agents didn’t hide their identities. Don’t worry, as you requested, the Baroque Works agents didn’t clash with them. The Donquixote Family doesn’t know about us yet; they only know that Tyrant Kuma is the boss behind the scenes.”

"I see." Hearing Robin's words, Xia Che nodded.

After taking over Baroque Works, he cut off the assassination commissions and transformed the organization to focus on selling and collecting intelligence.

As for Big Bear... it's so that he can quietly promote his products all over the world.

Therefore, the cosmetics business is secretly operated under Da Xiong's name, and I believe that anyone with a keen eye could find out if they really wanted to investigate.

However, with the titles of Tyrant Kuma and the Seven Warlords of the Sea suppressing them, ordinary people would not dare to provoke their businesses.

And whose name can they use here?

What is the reputation of the East China Sea branch base leader?

Or is it the reputation of being the overlord of the East China Sea?

Neither of these titles can intimidate many people.

Of course, at present, it only involves cosmetics and the upcoming shipyard. As for the other small factories, they are still using the name of the Konom Islands.

only……

Xia Che looked puzzled. "The Don Quixote family was doing just fine in the New World, so why did they suddenly set their sights on our businesses?"

……

"Hmm? The Tyrant of the South Blue? Bartholomew Kuma, who recently joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Wow, what a surprise! Who would have thought that this tyrant who went to the East China Sea to play house could actually create such a wildly successful industry?"

"Should we still make a move?" Doflamingo frowned slightly behind his sunglasses, looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand. "Let's hold off for now and continue the investigation. By the way, be careful. You... are my family."

"dududu~"

After the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Doflamingo crossed his long legs, which were clad in loafers, and rested his hands on either side of the sofa. His imposing posture, reminiscent of a powerful swordsman, exuded the domineering aura of a mafia emperor.

"I thought that guy was just a big, dumb oaf! It turns out that anyone chosen by the World Government to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is not to be underestimated!"

"Hehehehe!" A slightly chubby, scruffy middle-aged man holding a cane with a plum blossom symbol looked at Doflamingo and asked, "Doflamingo, should we still make a move now?"

"Make a move?" Upon hearing the slovenly old man's words, Doflamingo fell silent, frowning as if deep in thought.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Jonell's boss was actually Bartholomew Kuma, who was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Torrebol." He turned back to the disheveled man and said casually, "How's the research going with those guys?"

"The complete formula is still unknown! Those guys gave those two cosmetics extremely high praise, believing that only a very skilled doctor could formulate them." Torrepol, showing his sparse teeth with his distinctive smile, said, "They say it will take at least a year to fully decipher them!"

"A year? I can't wait that long." Doflamingo slumped back down, a faint smile on his face, and said, "It's really tempting! I never expected that this kind of thing would be created by that tyrant. This is even more profitable than selling weapons. Fufufufu, this is truly unexpected!"

That's right, this thing... is really more profitable than any of his other businesses.

Having entered the New World without any apparent reason, he became highly sought after by countless nobles, royalty, and even female pirates.

Rumors circulate that Charlotte Linlin, the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, the Sea Emperor, and one of the Four Emperors, also uses it, and there are even rumors that it has become her second favorite thing after snacks.

Although it's unknown whether the information is true, according to the Donquixote family's investigation, this thing is indeed selling extremely well, and the Big Mom Pirates are even secretly plundering and buying it.

Moreover, although the complete formula has not been deciphered, it is speculated that... the cost of this thing is not expensive, but the selling price is at least a hundred times, or a thousand times, higher.

A cosmetic product.

The selling price is hundreds or even thousands of times higher than the cost!

I have to say, that tyrant was truly heartless!

But it is still so popular!

Who wouldn't drool over this?

Doflamingo, leaning back in his chair, glanced at me with a slight glint in his eyes and said calmly, "Where is that guy Caesar Clown now?"

"That guy has already accepted the World Government's appointment!"

"I really did get tricked by this guy!" Doflamingo shook his head, his face beaming with a smile, but his tone seemed to hide a hint of coldness.

Originally, after hearing that this guy could create artificial Devil Fruits, I was even planning to rescue him.

result……

The World Government's top scientist, Vegapunk, suddenly disappeared. After a long search without success, the scientist, who should have been on trial, once again attracted the World Government's attention, rendering all his plans futile and almost exposing Vergo's identity.

"It's a pity. We were planning to use that guy to cooperate with Kaido, the Beast King! Now it seems we can only regretfully give up!" Doflamingo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, frowning as if deep in thought, and said calmly, "If we could get this cosmetic, perhaps we could still cooperate with the Big Mom Pirates!"

"What Dover means is..."

"As a pirate, if I see something I want, of course I just steal it! Hehehe~, a year is too long, I can't wait that long!" Doflamingo let out a unique laugh, then crossed his hands, placed them on his knees, and rested them in front of his chin. His eyes flashed slightly, carrying a hint of coldness. "I heard that the East Blue Overlord once fought the Tyrant all by himself and was not at a disadvantage?"

Chapter 113: What Level?

"Hey? Overlord of the East Sea? I am the Overlord of the East Sea!"

"Cooperate? What level are you on? The Donquixote Family? Never heard of them. What kind of small family do you think you can cooperate with me, the overlord of the East Blue? Do you know how many pirates your Uncle Moke has taught a lesson?"

"A Shichibukai? I wouldn't even be a dog among the Shichibukai? I refused long ago!"

"Fame and money? They're just empty titles. I, the overlord of the East Sea, don't care about these things at all."

"Plan? What plan? I don't want to know. Think about your strength and your class. Not just any pirate can cooperate with me, the overlord of the East Blue."

"You think you're up to par? Give me 5 million, and let me see what you've got!"

"dududu~"

The Den Den Mushi was hung up.

At this moment, inside the magnificent and luxurious royal palace in Dressrosa.

With a "smack!" Doflamingo, his face dark, crushed the valuable Den Den Mushi in his hand, his expression suggesting he had something to say but didn't know whether to.

Then, with a dark expression, he looked at Torrebol beside him and said in a gloomy tone, "Is this really the contact information for that overlord of the East Sea?"

Is this bastard, the Overlord of the East China Sea, an idiot?

He hadn't even finished speaking when this guy kept interrupting him, and he even dared to ask him what level the Don Quixote family was.

Doesn't this guy know the true value of the New World?

“If there are no surprises… it should be!” Seeing his young master like this, Torebour was not as relaxed as usual. He nodded seriously and said, “This was purchased from Baroque Works. I suppose Baroque Works wouldn’t dare to deceive our Donquixote Family!”

As soon as these words fell.

Also present was a young man wearing a round-lensed mask, with stitched scars on either side of his eyes, and a dark blue trench coat adorned with gears and other metal decorations. He spoke with a hint of coldness, "Young Master, should I personally go and talk to this frog in a well? How dare a mere pirate from the weakest sea speak to you like that? I will personally make him understand the level of the Donquixote Family!"

only.

"Furfurfur, no need! Gladius~, if this guy can really fight Bartholomew Kuma, his strength isn't that simple." Hearing his subordinate's words, Doflamingo seemed unconcerned, reverting to his usual nonchalant demeanor, and once again swaggered onto his throne. "Besides, I don't care about these things, and we don't need to explain anything more to such a fool! As long as we achieve our goal, that's all that matters."

As he spoke, he casually flicked his right hand. Although there was a faint smile on his lips, his tone seemed to have turned gloomy.

"Furthermore, I must say... this overlord of the East China Sea is quite interesting, which may be more beneficial to my plans."

"Dover, are you really prepared to continue cooperating with him?" A man dressed like a tribal native, wearing a fur-brimmed hat, two facial markings, and a red cloak, frowned and asked doubtfully. "Why should we cooperate with him? As long as our Don Quixote family's leaders personally intervene, I believe that mere South Sea tyrant cannot stop us at all."

"Don't underestimate any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There might be some useless ones among them, but the World Government isn't stupid, Diamante." Doflamingo looked at another high-ranking officer sitting next to him, codenamed "Diamond"—Diamante, and said leisurely, "Besides, I don't want to clash with the other Seven Warlords of the Sea at this time, nor do I want to attract the attention of the World Government. So, I can only trouble this foolish overlord of the East Blue."

"Hehehehe." Upon hearing Doflamingo's words, Trebol seemed to understand something and let out a strange laugh. "Doflamingo, you mean..."

"Give it to him!" Doflamingo's eyes narrowed, and he said in an icy tone, "Let this overlord of the East Blue see our true class!"

"Yes, Dover!"

……

the other side.

Mok, who had also hung up the Den Den Mushi, lay back down leisurely and said to the bear he had specially invited over today, "What kind of lunatic is this! He keeps talking about cooperation but hasn't sent a single penny. The boss said that people like this are either here to take advantage or to scam people. Does he really think I, Mok, am an idiot?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the big bear, who was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Relax, Big Bear, why do you look so worried? You know, I brought you here today to help you relax. I heard you've been staying in the lab these past few days, constantly on edge, and haven't slept for days."

Bonnie's almost better! We should be happy, not anxious! By the way, Bonnie will be fully recovered in a few days. I'll have my Mok throw her a party to celebrate!

"I... thank you, it's almost done, but they said they need to observe it for a while longer." Hearing Moke's words, Big Bear's face also showed a warm smile, then he frowned and pondered for a moment, "Should we tell the BOSS about what happened earlier?"

"What happened just now? That swindler? No need, no need." Moke waved his hand dismissively and said, "The boss said that people who openly claim to have a way or an opportunity, and keep talking about low investment and high returns, are basically swindlers. Just like my classes, I should just ignore them."

"..."

Big Bear looked at Moke with a strange expression, paused for a moment, and then said, "The young master of the Donquixote Family is indeed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Huh? It really is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea are scamming people now? This trick is a bit old!"

"..."

Looking at that surprised face, Big Bear suddenly didn't know what to say.

Isn't this guy's focus a little strange?

Just as Big Bear was about to say something more.

"Who cares about the Seven Warlords of the Sea or anything like that? Boss said he wouldn't even be a dog among the Seven Warlords!" Moke waved his hand dismissively and said, "Anyone who doesn't pay is a scammer!"

The words fell.

Before the bear, who had fallen silent again, could say anything...

"Pulu pulu~, pulu pulu~"

The Den Den Mushi rang again.

Moke answered the phone again, puzzled, muttering, "Why are there so many calls today?" before lazily replying, "Hello?"
