Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

On a wooden boat in the North Sea, Doflamingo unleashed wave after wave of overwhelming Conqueror's Haki.

Even the clouds in the sky kept changing shape under this powerful Conqueror's Haki.

The crew struggled to stay afloat, while some of the less skilled sailors had already lost consciousness.

Only Bellemere, Hans, and Beck remained, a few others.

Doflamingo looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and really wanted to smash it to pieces.

However, he can still suppress it for now.

Bellemere, find the nearest pirate base or mafia family territory. I need a massacre.

Doflamingo coldly uttered a sentence, then withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and walked into the cabin alone.

Bellemere didn't waste any time upon hearing this.

She was a decisive person to begin with, and she knew what Rowley was thinking from her conversation with him.

As long as Doflamingo doesn't target civilians, then let him be.

Raleigh took it all in stride. After all, Doflamingo wasn't a good person, and suppressing his nature would only provoke him to greater resentment.

Sometimes, letting Doflamingo do things his own way can actually make both sides more satisfied with the collaboration.

Doflamingo is also comparable to a god in terms of his ability to play music and his monthly active users.

The character enters Doflamingo's cabin and stares blankly at the Den Den Mushi on his desk.

There is only one owner for a Den Den Mushi.

That was Christine Rory, who had also brought him immense shame.

If he had a choice, Doflamingo wouldn't want to make that call; he'd rather fight Bondiwald all by himself.

However, after many setbacks, Doflamingo is also learning Raleigh's way of doing things.

It's not shameful to seek help when you're not as capable as others.

Survival is more important than anything else.

It could be said that Trebol and his group merely led Doflamingo down the path of the underworld.

However, Raleigh accelerated Doflamingo's growth by more than a decade.

He slowly reached out his right hand to take the Den Den Mushi from the table.

The fingernails on his left hand dug deeply into the flesh of his palm due to the force he exerted.

"This is the last time. I can't be so weak anymore. This is the last time I'll ask someone for help."

Doflamingo made a silent vow in his heart.

blublublublublu.

The Den Den Mushi was quickly connected, and Doflamingo's extremely disgusted voice came through.

"Doflamingo, where are you now?"

Raleigh asked casually.

We're almost at the Kingdom of Eryokobu; in two more days we'll arrive. But now, something's happened to the Don Quixote family.

"There was a madman who ran back from the Grand Line named Bondiwald. He caused a huge disturbance at the Don Quixote Family's residence and even injured my officers."

"I want to go back and deal with this now."

Doflamingo put aside his disgust and dark thoughts, and instead spoke to Raleigh in a relaxed tone.

"That Bondiwald fellow actually went to your family's territory."

"That's right. According to our intelligence analysis, he wants to build an incredibly huge cannon and is searching for arms manufacturers in various parts of the North Sea."

"By the way, did you agree to his request to forge that enormous cannon for him?"

Raleigh was lying in his office, drinking coconut juice and talking on the phone with Doflamingo.

Although he was unaware of Bondiwald's disturbance at the Don Quixote family's residence, he had a premonition during his analysis at the time.

After all, there are only a handful of mafia families involved in the underground arms smuggling in Beihai.

Even fewer cannons of the unconventional size requested by Bondiwald could be manufactured.

While taking notes in his notebook, Raleigh was also comforting Doflamingo on the phone:

"What are the losses of your Don Quixote family? Were any of your family members injured or killed?"

Upon hearing Raleigh's words of comfort, Doflamingo's blood rushed to his head again.

"Although my family members didn't die, they were all severely injured by that bastard Bondiwald, and now the Don Quixote family's power is unprecedentedly weakened."

After listening, Raleigh stroked his chin and then summoned the messenger at the door.

Notify the 154th branch of the North Sea Navy to patrol the Donquixote Family's territory, ensuring that surrounding pirates and mafia families do not take advantage of the situation.

Doflamingo also heard Raleigh's orders on the phone and gave a faint smile.

Working with Raleigh made him very comfortable.

Everyone here is smart; there's no need for much explanation. If someone agrees to help you with this, they'll do it perfectly. As for that Bondiwald guy, I've already released information on how to deal with him; I just don't know if he'll take the bait.

Raleigh said with a worried expression. Doflamingo immediately understood that Raleigh was implying that he should lend a hand.

"Admiral Raleigh, what intelligence did you release?"

Raleigh smacked his lips and said:

Now everyone in the North Sea knows that guy needs a lot of refined iron, so I had my intelligence agents in the North Sea spread the word that there is a large amount of refined iron in the Kingdom of Eryokobu.”

"Furthermore, this refined iron will be transported to Yanggemari in the next few days."

Doflamingo understood.

Law used what Bondiwald needed most as refined iron, even though it was a World Government ship.

However, Doflamingo suspected that the lawless guy was capable of hijacking a World Government ship.

However, it seems that his plan has encountered a problem.

Was the intelligence not delivered to Bondiwald's ears?

"Well, Bondiwald is a reckless fool, don't worry about him. The main problem is that he has a man named Bingjak by his side, and the intelligence has been stuck with him."

At this moment, neither Doflamingo nor Raleigh knew that the brute they called Bondiwald had finally gotten Binjak to relent after repeated requests.

"I've agreed to this. Give me half a day, and I'll have my family members handle it."

Doflamingo is already eagerly waiting for Bondiwald to take the bait.

"Well, you'd better hurry up and come. My plan is almost ready to come to an end."

After hearing Raleigh's words, Doflamingo also became expectant.

From the moment this guy barged into his line of sight in such an aggressive manner, he developed a strong interest in Raleigh.

He could always find clues related to Raleigh from the slightest hints of many major events.

Some things seem unrelated to Raleigh, but you can sense an invisible thread connecting them all from other events.

Doflamingo believes that Raleigh is definitely plotting something big behind the scenes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to leave the North Sea and go to the East Sea to pick up a group of naval soldiers disguised as rebels. You know, in the East Sea, he could often clearly sense that the naval branch leader, Rat, who was chasing them, was holding back.

Doflamingo also exchanged two blows with Rat-Cut.

He came to the conclusion that in a normal fight, his win rate was around 40%, but in a life-or-death battle, his chance of dying was almost 100%.

How could such an outstanding naval commander, leading a group of equally elite soldiers, fail to capture even a few rebels?

Moreover, they allowed these rebels to continue killing CP members sent by the World Government.

Anyway, Doflamingo felt something was fishy about this.

However, Doflamingo also knew the saying that the more you know, the faster you die.

He could guess at anything Raleigh wouldn't say, but he couldn't verify it.

After putting down the Den Den Mushi, Raleigh scratched his head and looked at Borsalino beside him.

This guy is incredibly fast.

Just a few days after I called him, his warships rushed to the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

However, the real show hasn't even started yet, and everyone can only wait patiently for the opening ceremony.

Borsalino was intently manicuring his nails with a small file.

Only after sensing Raleigh's self-illumination did he look up blankly.

Is it lunchtime, Raleigh?

It just goes to show that people need comparisons to make things clear.

Before Borsalino arrived, Raleigh could confidently hand over his work to Cleveland.

Her usual job was to flirt with Gion and then casually stroll around the city for half an hour every day.

But things changed when Borsalino came along.

He is the Admiral of Beihai, and all files require his approval.

But this guy actually became a hands-off manager after he arrived.

In his words, "My dear brother Raleigh, you're going to be an admiral sooner or later anyway, so the sooner you get involved in these things, the less likely you are to be caught off guard."

He then ordered that all North Sea files be sent directly to Rowley's office from now on.

He specifically did not set up an office for this purpose, and usually dealt with the nobles in the kingdom.

"Borsalino, why did you bring Kakei and my apprentice along?"

After signing a huge pile of documents, Raleigh decided to give himself an afternoon off.

Taking advantage of this lull, he decided to ask Borsalino what his decision was.

There's no way around it; Jiaji's background is too deep. Headquarters said that wherever I go, Jiaji has to go too.

And then there are your two apprentices, they're both incredibly strong, like monsters. They're so young, yet their power is terrifying. They're always causing trouble for the navy at the base; having them out here gives us some peace and quiet.

Borsalino finished manicuring his nails and looked at Raleigh with a smug expression.

Raleigh also covered his forehead.

These two little guys have indeed improved their skills quite quickly.

Belo Betty's mastery of the Encouragement Fruit is getting better and better; now her fruit ability can buff thousands of people in a battle for half an hour at the same time.

Miles goes without saying.

He followed the plan Raleigh had given him, honing his physical skills and physique to the extreme.

Even now, many naval lieutenant commanders can't beat Miles.

I said, "After we capture Bondiwald, I might take another step forward and return to the Grand Line. Then you'll have control of the North Sea Navy."

I'll take care of some troubles for you before I leave, but you'll have to build the team yourself.

Borsalino said very seriously.

In fact, the headquarters was already very angry about his actions during his time in Beihai.

Although Raleigh resolved some of the issues with pirates and the mafia, the headquarters attributed all the credit to him.

Furthermore, the Sengoku general also believed that Borsalino's abilities were somewhat wasted in the North Sea.

The Grand Line needs some monster-level new forces to maintain the status quo.

"Actually, it has little to do with me. Headquarters was angry because they thought I was always slacking off in battle, so they made me the admiral. But it's all that Sariski's fault."

"That guy is like a scoundrel. Ever since he took your advice and went to G5, he's either catching pirates or on his way to catch pirates all day long."

The number of pirates captured by the G5 branch in just one month equals the number I captured in a year. Headquarters thinks Sakazuki can do it, so why can't I? That's why they're already proposing to transfer me back to headquarters.

Borsalino felt a touch of sadness. "You say Sakazuki is so amazing, why don't you just go and praise him?"

I'm just an honest person who wants to go to get off work on time. You can't treat me like another Sakazuki just because I'm talented. "Sigh, if Vice Admiral Garp's son, Dragon, were still in the Navy, that guy would be a good pirate catcher too."

Borsalino has a pretty good relationship with the dragon.

Although the two have different understandings of justice, it does not hinder their friendship.

Borsalino joined the Navy after the God Valley Incident. Dragon had already participated in the God Valley Incident with Garp, but at that time Dragon was just a lowly soldier and not the focus of the battlefield.

Is that Monkey D. Dragon? Maybe you'll meet again soon.

A mysterious smile played on Raleigh's lips. The dragon was now in the Kingdom of Eryoko, right before his eyes, preparing to launch a workers' uprising.

But Raleigh doesn't plan to tell Borsalino now, since Borsalino has tricked him more than once.

"Alright, it's lunchtime, I should go eat lunch."

Borusalino's biological clock is more accurate than the clocks hanging on the wall.

Just as the indicator turned for the last second and the bell in the base rang, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Looking in the direction Borsalino disappeared, Raleigh suppressed the urge to use his Devil Fruit ability as well.

He was preparing to surprise Borsalino.

Two days later, the refined iron from the Kingdom of Eryokobu was loaded onto a World Government ship. They were completely unaware that they had been targeted by a giant beast and were still happily moving their goods.

Now that I'm in Jogmara, I need to have a good time in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Yes, I heard they sell beautiful mermaid slaves there. If I have the chance, I want to buy one too.

Officials from two world governments are directing workers to load materials onto ships at the port.

They also chatted about adult topics and laughed heartily.

In a secluded corner where no one was looking, a frail-looking old worker was making a phone call using a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone).

"Hey, Boss Bondi, they're already loading the fine iron, and it'll set sail today."

The person on the other end of the phone was also very happy to hear the news.

A deserted island on the route that World Government ships must take.

Three enormous pirate ships were neatly moored in a bay where Bondiwald, shirtless, was eating meat and drinking wine.

After leaving the Don Quixote family, he took the weapons and equipment he had purchased from them and recruited a large number of members.

Although it only lasted two days, it recruited a number of pirates.

Bondi, boss! We're definitely going to succeed this time, right?

The young pirates stared with fervor at the tall, strong figure in the center.

What nonsense are you talking about? Boss Bondi will definitely succeed!

Once we manufacture the giant cannon that Boss Bundy needs, we can go wherever we want in the world.

The members of the Ward Pirates all looked at that tall and strong figure, and they all went crazy like fanatics.

That's the man the World Government has a bounty of 410 million Berries on his head.

Nickname: "World Destroyer"

A legendary great pirate who returned from the Grand Line.

"Hahahaha!!! I'm sure I'll succeed, after all, I'm Bondiwald."

"What's the Ward Pirates' motto, guys!"

Bondiwald stood up, laughing domineeringly, and opened his arms as if to welcome something.

The thousands of pirates were stunned at first, then roared at the top of their lungs;

"—Anything that stands in my way will be utterly destroyed!!!"

The sound shattered the heavens, and amidst the shouts, Bondiwald was deeply intoxicated by the feeling.

Bondiwald turned to his brother Bingjac and said;

Brother, we can do this, right?

With an IV drip attached to his body and looking extremely haggard, Bingjak looked at his cheerful younger brother and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

A bitter smile forced across his face:

"That's right, Wald."

Bondiwald laughed again, picked up a barrel half his height and gulped it down his throat.

Seeing their captain so bold and unrestrained, the crew members around him also joined in the grand banquet.

Their reason for becoming pirates is quite simple.

When ordinary people are only bullied by the mafia and pirates, they don't want to be the ones being bullied; they want to be the ones bullying others.

As a legendary pirate, Bondiwald was destined to have countless followers when he raised his banner in the North Blue.

This also includes naval intelligence personnel and members of the Donquixote Family who are hidden within the Ward Pirates.

At this moment, while they were drinking merrily, encrypted messages were rapidly transmitted to the powerful figures behind the scenes through various means.

"Are you so happy that you've lost your mind?"

"Bondiwald, you mustn't let me down."

Raleigh, hidden in the darkness, destroyed the encrypted information sent by the intelligence agents.

A few days ago, he had already dispatched several nearby naval branches, leaving only one naval branch with old, weak, and disabled members.

This was so that Bondiwald could successfully intercept the World Government's ships.

P.S.: A relative had an accident and stayed in the hospital for a long time before returning home. There's been so much going on lately; I thought I could update normally today. I'm sorry, dear readers.
