Arceus' Pirate Journey
Page 360
And on the King's Highlands, Doflamingo was also paying attention to Quinn's every move.
"Dover, they are coming. They are heading here. The leader is Plague... He seems to have discovered me."
A woman was reporting to Doflamingo what she had seen. She was Violet, now a killer of the Don Quixote family, but her original identity was the daughter of King Riku.
She is a person with good eyesight who ate the Stare-Star Fruit. Her most basic ability is clairvoyance, which allows her to expand her field of vision to a radius of 4000 kilometers. The entire Dressrosa and the nearby seas are within her range of observation.
Doflamingo was impressed by her abilities, and she eventually joined the Don Quixote Family on the condition that Doflamingo would save King Quanju's life.
Doflamingo ordered her to observe when Quinn arrived, but for some reason, she always felt that Quinn had already discovered her presence.
"Your intuition is so strong... Never mind. The guests are already here, so there's no need to offend them. Pica, go and greet them."
Doflamingo did not think it was strange that a criminal with a bounty worth 2.7 billion found out that he was being spied on. Instead, he thought it was very reasonable. Without some strength, one could not become a high-ranking official in the Beasts.
Doflamingo was well prepared, but Quinn gave him a blow as soon as they met.
Faced with Doflamingo's offer of 20 million, Quinn also raised two fingers.
"What does this... mean?"
"Two million, that's the only price we can offer."
The price of an ordinary devil fruit starts at 100 million. If the specific type can be identified, the price will continue to rise. Caesar's artificial fruit is not as good as the original, so the price is halved. Since the probability of failure is not low, the price has to be discounted again.
Twenty million Baileys was the final offer, which was very reasonable in Doflamingo's mind.
He did think the price was negotiable, but he didn't expect Quinn to just round it off to zero.
“That’s too low.”
"Joker, if the success rate of this thing is 100%, then it can barely be worth million, but its success rate is only one in ten, so it is only worth this price."
"According to the rules of the sea, the buyer should usually bear part of the risk of failure."
Doflamingo was right. Usually, when there is a possibility of failure, both parties share the risk.
For example, some experiments that may fail will not lead to a price reduction of materials just because of the high probability of failure. He has already given up a lot of profits, but the object of his transaction is a monster from the new world.
"Hahahaha, Joker, as a middleman, do you think too highly of yourself?
This is an underground transaction belonging to the New World. What you are trading with is not the Hundred Beasts Fruit, but the Hundred Beasts Pirates.
At times like this, we don’t follow the rules, or rather, here, we are the rules.”
Chapter 844: Shameless, Invincible
Quinn spoke his final conclusion word by word, and his body, which had been tempered by beatings over the years, also released a special aura.
He did not have the domineering aura of a king, but at this moment, this silly-looking round fat man exuded the aura of a beast, which made people feel dangerous.
After a series of battles, Quinn regained the courage to go out, but he had to be fully armed when he went out. Relying on all kinds of equipment, if a real fight broke out, Doflamingo would not be able to withstand it.
Apart from anything else, if Quinn really lets go here, the base that Doflamingo has built over the years will be completely destroyed.
"So Joker, do you agree with this price, or do you have any other ideas?"
"I can accept this price, but the sales rights of some weapons..."
"Oh? Well, it's okay to give you a part of it. Just keep everything the same. You know the rules in this regard."
After all, it is a transaction in the underground world. The rules are prepared for people with equal strength. When the gap is too big, only the strong can make the rules.
Doflamingo got what he wanted, but he didn't know that part of the business was originally outsourced to him. His ability in this area is still outstanding. Compared with other dealers, Doflamingo is more outstanding.
"But then again, where's that bastard Caesar? I want to have a good chat with him. Oh, and by the way, some of these tricks are best not used on us. Fruit abilities are not absolute."
After arriving here, Quinn became aware of Violet's presence and knew where the strange feeling came from before.
The range of ordinary people's observation Haki is limited. Those who have super-wide range perception abilities are either true geniuses, or weird things that destroy the balance just for the purpose of cheating.
When he landed on the island before, his observation Haki did not detect Violet who was very far away. Although he noticed something unusual, that was more based on intuition. It was different after coming here.
"Of course, she's just used to it. Pica, take Mr. Quinn to find Caesar, and you can arrange the rest."
"I understand, Dover. This way, Mr. Quinn."
Doflamingo still has some talent in ninjutsu. Even if Quinn doesn't give him much face and behaves extremely arrogantly, because of Kaido behind him, he will choose to ignore it and receive him with a smile.
But after Quinn left, he looked at Violet on the side.
"Did you see his idea?"
"Except for him fantasizing about how to beat up Caesar, I can't see anything else. It's completely blank."
What Doflamingo is interested in is not just the telescope ability of the Stare-Star Fruit, but another ability - mind reading.
Regardless of whether the opponent is conscious or lying, the user can read his or her current thoughts as long as he or she makes special gestures.
Although it cannot read past memories, it is still very practical.
When Tezoro does business, he always brings Bakara with him and uses the power of the Luck Fruit to accomplish certain goals. The same is true for Doflamingo. He will also choose to use Violia's fruit ability to detect trading partners.
Doflamingo saw through Caesar's thoughts at the beginning.
"Haki... That's right. After all, he is a senior official under Kaido. It's not surprising that he can do this."
The power of the devil fruit is not absolute. If the domineering power is strong enough, the effects of some fruit abilities will be directly offset. With Violet's strength, it is extremely difficult to spy on Quinn now.
"By the way, let's look at Caesar next. I want to see what happens."
"Got it, Dover."
Another reason why Doflamingo gave up bargaining was the quality of Caesar's finished product. If the fruit he made was exactly the same as the original one, he would never sell it at the low price of two million.
He can raise the price anyway, but he has no reason to do so now. No matter how much a thing costs, as long as it can create value, it can be sold at a high price.
But now times have changed.
Kaido in the original timeline had no choice. Even if the things made by Caesar were terrible, Kaido could only make do with them because others didn't make these things at all.
But as we all know, Kaido has a large group of mythical beast-type ability users under his command, and the number is increasing all the time. In this case, Caesar becomes a waste, and he will be satisfied if he can sell him to deepen the relationship.
Ultimately, it's because Caesar is not capable enough. If Quinn really wants to teach the other party a lesson, Doflamingo doesn't mind just watching the show.
......
"Why are you here, you bastard!"
In Doflamingo's so-called meeting place, Caesar met someone he didn't want to see.
He had always thought this was a venue for celebration, but he didn't expect Quinn to be here.
"Why am I here? You won't forget who you are trading with, right?"
"Who are you talking about, trash?"
"I said you were a loser. Apparently Joker didn't tell you that the terms of our deal included beating you up."
"Have you forgotten how I taught you a lesson, you bastard? Quinn, others may not know your weight, but do you think I don't know?"
The two have had conflicts since the MADS period. In the beginning, Quinn was no match for Caesar, and he suffered a lot, just because Caesar himself was a natural ability user. This ability was like a bug in the early stage, and ordinary people really had no way to deal with it.
Although Gas is not an uncontrollable element, and Quinn can use some items to defeat its original body, the Nature system can still gain a great advantage.
"Hahahaha, this is an old almanac from more than 30 years ago. Do you think it's still the same now?"
A clicking sound came from Quinn's hand. There were some strange things installed in his mechanical hand, and one of its functions was to make a loud fisting sound.
"But there are some things I need to show you first, Harper, Rory. This person is the original creator of your "ability". Come and let him see your ability."
Looking at the two normal people beside Quinn, Caesar didn't understand what Quinn meant until the two of them entered the human-beast form. Then a trace of surprise appeared on his face, but it turned into joy in the next moment.
"I will wait for a while..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I succeeded! I am a true genius!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Caesar ignored Quinn and instead ran over to Harper and Rory, touching them and asking them to make some coordinated movements, as if he was recording parameters.
"Isn't it obvious? I copied the devil fruit successfully. Look how perfect this body is. Vegapunk hasn't made so many devil fruits. Stop talking nonsense. I am really a genius."
Chapter 845 That Day, Quinn Learned to Share
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish; when the person is too cautious, there will be no followers. At this time, Caesar achieved a hidden achievement - when a person is too mean, he will be invincible.
In Quinn's understanding, Caesar knows what the virtue of his fruit is, and he will definitely be puzzled when he sees this "perfect" person with this ability.
Then he can say to the other party proudly:
[I have slightly improved your skills. You are so weak that you can't even solve this problem.]
The people in MADS are good at different things, and this is the area where Caesar is best at. Quinn intends to defeat the opponent head-on in the area where the opponent is best at, so as to achieve the goal of attacking Caesar.
Everything was going well, but he underestimated Caesar's shamelessness. For a moment he didn't know whether to say that Caesar was thick-skinned or shameless.
"You... don't you know what your technical level is? Haven't you ever done experiments yourself?"
"Well, you know, the success of this thing is a matter of probability. You should have taken 20 of them at the beginning. These two seem to be more perfect."
"None of your experimental subjects were successful."
"Stop talking nonsense. So you are lucky, fat pig. I still think you looked better in your old days. How about I help you change back?"
Everyone in MADS is very confident in their abilities and thinks they are genius scientists who are no less talented than Vegapunk. However, it seems that Caesar is no longer confident, but narcissistic.
"Brother Quinn, can we beat him up?"
"Yes, Brother Quinn, this guy seems to be a pervert..."
Caesar's inspection made them irritated, but they were still enduring it. They didn't know what Quinn's attitude was.
Although Quinn expressed his intention to beat the other person up, it was not enough to prove anything.
Fights are very common in the Beast Kingdom, and cadres will often curse and fight each other, but they can still sit together and drink and chat around the corner. Kaido is a typical example.
"Let me do it. I'll beat both of you out at once."
The two of them were just responsible for guarding the gate on Ghost Island. Quinn looked down on Caesar's ability, but he was not so bad that he couldn't even handle a gatekeeper. If the two of them failed, it would be very embarrassing for Quinn.
Originally, Quinn planned to use the fruit he had transformed into Caesar to anger him, but looking at such a shameless Caesar, he had a new idea.
Since he has formed this perception, just let him make the same mistake as it is.
No one knows that the fruits of success have been processed by Arceus, and Doflamingo can also sell them to others.
People in the outside world may not be as enthusiastic about the animal system as Kaido, but they may also be interested in it when faced with abilities.
As long as the fruit can be sold to others, Caesar, as the maker of the fruit, will also become famous.
By then, he will either be hated for producing too many failed products, or be targeted by the World Government because of the great impact of his manufacturing capabilities. Maybe they will arrange an assassination plan for Caesar.
By then, he can take some of the blame from Quinn.
Good things should be shared, and Quinn doesn't want to let Caesar go.
At this time, a strange smile appeared on Quinn's face, and he had a new idea about what to do next.
When there are more ordinary animal-type ability users, let them go out and cause trouble, and then advertise for Caesar to increase his popularity.
Not only can he praise Caesar to death, but he might also be able to earn some kickbacks from Doflamingo.
Thinking of this, Quinn felt that Caesar was a little more pleasing to the eye, but his desire to beat him up remained unchanged.
"Hey, Pica, find me a spacious place, preferably one with lots of people watching. I want to embarrass this guy."
"Who wants you to beat me? Do you think too highly of yourself?"
"You can fight back, or are you scared? Or you can play a game with me, and if you win you can say anything."
"game?"
"That's right, Roulette, I have special seastone bullets here, enough to blow your head off."
As he said that, Quinn took out a pistol, but this caused Caesar to roar.
"You idiot, don't you have any knowledge at all?! Which sea area would use such a gun?! Are you a bumpkin from the four seas?"
Caesar has not yet agreed to Quinn. He values his life and does not want to participate in such a life-threatening game, but Quinn is insulting him.
The rules of roulette are very simple. Put one or more bullets in the six slots of a revolver, spin the wheel at random, close it, and the participants take turns shooting themselves in the head with the pistol.
The premise of all this is that the gun must be a revolver, but what Quinn took out was a fully automatic pistol.
