"Abel, I brought you today's newspaper~"
"Okay, leave it there for now. This set of training will be over soon."
Abel said something to Baby-5 who was running over, and then concentrated on the training.
A huge specially made barbell seemed to be weightless in his hands as he kept chopping with it.
Only when the number reached ten thousand did he exhale a breath of hot air and put down the huge barbell.
Then he sat on a chair not far away and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.
At this time, Baby-5 had already poured him some tea.
Abel took it naturally and took a sip, then praised the little girl and picked up today's newspaper.
It’s strange to say, more than three years have passed since he joined the family, but Baby-5’s height has hardly changed, and she still looks like a little girl.
If he hadn't known that she would grow up to be a cute and charming lady with a curvy figure, he would have doubted whether Baby-5 would only be able to grow this tall for the rest of her life.
Isn’t it always said that girls develop earlier than boys? This doesn’t seem like the case.
However, considering that Baby-5 is two years younger than him, he might become a typical example of someone who has accumulated a lot of experience over time.
He shook his head and stopped worrying about such boring things for Baby-5. He began to read today's newspaper carefully.
This has almost become a habit in his life.
After all, there is no Internet in this world, so if you want to know what happened on the sea, you can basically only rely on newspapers.
Although he had a God's perspective, he knew some of the trends in the world and some major events.
But it was impossible for him to remember even the exact time, not to mention that there were many important things that he didn't even know about.
Then he saw a familiar figure appearing on today's front page headlines.
"The Nine Snakes Queen joins the Shichibukai!"
The story is about Boa Hancock, the current emperor of the pirate nation Amazon Lily Kingdom and the current captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates, who accepted the call of the World Government and became another of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
As for what kind of agreement Boa Hancock reached with the World Government, it is unknown.
It’s not written in the newspaper, so it’s probably impossible to know.
Several photos of Boa Hancock were attached below the report.
From the angle you can tell it was a candid shot, but despite this, this Nine Snake Queen is still 360-degree beautiful!
And the following report started to stir up trouble.
The Nine Snake Queen was voted as the "most beautiful woman in the world"!
Then, an address for submissions was attached, welcoming people from all over the world who disagreed to mail in photos of who they think is the most beautiful woman in the world.
He also claimed that if he found a woman more beautiful than Boa Hancock, he would be willing to publicly apologize to everyone and bet his entire fortune!
The report was already very eye-catching, but after this editor took over the topic, the topic changed from "What strength and achievements does this Nine Snake Empress have to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" to "The Empress is the most beautiful, no objection will be accepted" and "She is beautiful, but not the most beautiful woman in the world."
It is estimated that there was an expert behind the scenes who easily determined that Boa Hancock became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Then it gained a lot of popularity and traffic, and by the way, this empress was crowned the most beautiful woman in the world.
Kill several birds with one stone, very cool!
Otherwise, there would definitely be countless people questioning his reasons for becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After all, before this, who had heard of the names Queen Nine Snakes and Boa Hancock?
Does she have any real achievements?
For example, challenging Whitebeard, or defeating a powerful navy warrior?
Or did he ever land on the Red Earth Continent, rescue slaves, and rob the "gold from the sky"?
There are none of these.
In fact, she was one of the slaves who were rescued that year.
Of course, this matter is only known to a few people.
Although the World Government can decide who is eligible to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, if it is too arbitrary and fails to "convince the people", it will become a huge joke.
Abel put down the newspaper in his hand reluctantly, feeling like he had just eaten a big melon.
But this empress is indeed beautiful.
Apart from a bad temper and a love-brained mind, he has no other shortcomings.
No wonder in so many fan fictions, whenever there is a harem, this empress cannot escape the clutches of the devil.
Anyone would be happy to change!
Then the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang. Abel took it out and saw that it was Doflamingo contacting him, so he answered it directly.
"Is it Abel?"
"It's me, Captain Dover."
"There are two new members in the family. I plan to call everyone back so that they can get to know each other."
Abel immediately showed a surprised look, "New member? Okay, I will go back."
After hanging up the call, he was also wondering where Doflamingo recruited new people from.
"Calling everyone back, does that mean they have passed the test and have gone from trainee members to full members? Who could those two people be?"
"Forget it, we'll know when we get back and take a look."
Chapter 340: The Monet Sisters
For the Don Quixote family, recruiting new members is a very important thing.
After all, we are tired of logging.
Once you join a family, you all become one family.
Is it possible if we don’t know each other?
In addition, Doflamingo has always attached great importance to this matter, so the cadres who were on missions outside dealt with the matters in their hands as quickly as possible and rushed back to the family residence.
Abel did the same and returned with Baby-5.
Then he saw the new members of the family, two girls, one big and one small.
He seemed to know who was joining this time.
After a while, when all the people were present, Doflamingo formally introduced the two newcomers to everyone.
As Abel had expected, these two people were Monet and Sugar.
One is 17 years old and the other is only 9 years old, and they are sisters.
Abel couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, because he really didn't know this information.
"I went back to Beihai a few days ago and happened to rescue the two of them. Afterwards, I saw that they were homeless, so I took them in. From now on, we are a family."
Doflamingo said seriously.
I guess few people present believed it.
No one, including Abel, thought that he was so kind-hearted. There must be some hidden story behind it.
It's just like when he took in Buffalo and other children in the beginning, it was just to select some good ones worth cultivating as fresh blood for the family.
It's probably the same this time.
I just don't know what it is about these two sisters that is worthy of Doflamingo's attention.
Monet immediately showed an expression of great gratitude and expressed his loyalty to Doflamingo and his willingness to die for him.
This scene made Abel thoughtful. Perhaps it was for this reason that Doflamingo made them part of the family?
After all, the family's current strength and power are no longer what they used to be. The criteria for recruiting people has shifted from strength and potential to loyalty, which is also in line with Doflamingo's mood after being betrayed by his own brother.
A powerful traitor is indeed not as good as a subordinate who is loyal to you and is even willing to die for you.
At least that's the case for Doflamingo now.
The facts were indeed as Abel thought, but what Abel didn't know was that in order to gain such a "family", Doflamingo had directed and acted in many good dramas.
But in the end most of them failed.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to let it fall into the abyss and then rescue it.
But human hearts are not so easy to control.
It was by chance that I returned to the North Sea this time and gained Monet's absolute loyalty.
Doflamingo believed that even if he asked the other party to die at this moment, the other party would do it without hesitation.
Coupled with the ties between sisters, the possibility of them betraying her is almost eliminated.
That's why he brought Monet and her sister Sugar back to the family, skipping the trainee member stage and introducing them directly to everyone else.
If Monet knew the truth, he would probably collapse immediately.
The 'hero' who saved him was actually the devil who created that hell.
After Doflamingo introduced the Monet sisters to everyone, Lao G also explained the "Blood House Rules" at the right time to give the two newcomers a warning.
Doflamingo did not stop him. After all, the family rules were absolutely not allowed to be broken.
Then he added, "Baby-5, after the meeting, you will be responsible for telling them all the family rules in detail."
"Okay, young master."
There was indeed no one present who was more suitable to do this than her.
Then each cadre took turns to report on the latest situation and the increase or decrease in the business they were responsible for.
Overall, it is a thriving and rapid development trend.
Just like blowing up a balloon, it gets bigger and bigger.
Arms and weapons have been smuggled into many countries in the first half of the Grand Route.
But Doflamingo is not satisfied with this. Before setting foot in the New World, he plans to expand his family business to the other three seas.
When his smuggling business is big enough to spread all over the world, he will be able to build an enormous smuggling empire!
By that time, even if the world government wants to take action against him, it will have to weigh the consequences.
Diamanti took the initiative to speak: "The arms smuggling business in the West Sea is almost monopolized by the five major mafia families. It is difficult for outsiders to intervene. Let me take some people there and open up the situation as soon as possible."
On the surface, among the remaining three sea areas, the West Sea is indeed the most difficult.
As the highest-ranking official, Diamante took the initiative to choose this tough task. In addition to his absolute confidence in his own strength, he also wanted to share Doflamingo's worries.
Doflamingo nodded, "Then the West Sea is left to you. If you need any resources, you can mobilize them from the family yourself."
The Block Army led by Diamante is not only strong in men and horses, but also has fighters such as Lao G, Mahabas, and Senior Pique.
Doflamingo was of course relieved to leave it to him.
The remaining two sea areas: the East China Sea and the South China Sea still need people to go there to scout the way.
Torrepol couldn't leave because he had other tasks to do.
Dressrosa is the top priority.
So the only top cadre left was Seka, and then he said in his signature strange voice: "Gradius and I can be responsible for a piece of sea, it doesn't matter whether it's the East China Sea or the South China Sea."
puff……
Hearing this strange sound, some people couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment, Seka's death gaze was fixed on Sando, who was covering her mouth and trying to hold back tears from laughing.
"Wuhu, you're done! Lord Seka hates being laughed at the most!"
"The last time I laughed out loud by accident, I almost got killed."
Buffalo immediately began to gloat over the other's misfortune.
I just wish every newcomer could go through what he went through.
