Chapter 553: Each Takes What He Needs
New World, Dressrosa.
In the palace.
Oboro and Doflamingo sat opposite each other, and Oboro looked out the window at the densely packed buildings below.
The palace of Dressrosa was built on the highest mountain, and one could almost see the entire island.
It must be said that the scenery of this island is very beautiful.
Dressrosa has been the territory of the Don Quixote family of the Celestial Dragons since ancient times, and it is also the place where the Don Quixote family started. However, later the Don Quixote family moved to the Red Earth Continent and handed over the country to others. Therefore, now that Doflamingo has returned, it can be called "returning the property to its original owner."
It's just that the means are a bit shady and not quite legitimate.
"Now the whole world is watching your next move...咈咈咈." Dov crossed his legs and smiled at the contented God Slayer in front of him.
"Don't worry."
Oboro rubbed his fingers and raised the corners of his mouth.
"New news, the government has sent people to Wan Guo, and they should be discussing how to kill you."
Dover is a very direct person.
"You are well-informed."
Long praised.
"Aren't you worried? If they really join forces, you may not be able to eat that woman..."
"Have you seen this photo?"
Long answered irrelevantly and picked up a photo from the table in front of the two.
The photo shows the first few members of the Hell Pirates, executing the Celestial Dragons in the Kingdom of Bolie.
Among them is Rob Lucci.
"Naturally...I have to say that your move is quite insidious. Now the anger of those Celestial Dragons towards you can no longer be suppressed..." Dover licked his lips, and a light flashed across his red lenses, staring at Lucci in the photo, "That's him...The spy lurking on your ship, the captain of CP9...The World Government seems to value him very much and thinks he is very capable."
"Yeah."
Long nodded.
"But once this photo is exposed, the World Government will have to doubt whether he has completely surrendered to you and become a pirate... I'm afraid that group of Celestial Dragons will not be able to trust such a guy. In other words, no matter what favorable evidence or clues the World Government produces, outsiders, including themselves, cannot fully believe it. Maybe they will suspect that you are secretly making trouble and using your tricks against them... some conspiracy."
"咈咈咈..."
"Those guys are afraid of you, and their fear of you is beyond words."
Oboro was also happy, "It's not as serious as you described. The Five Elders still have some brains."
"咈咈咈... What a good evaluation."
Joker echoed.
The Hell Pirates have been in Dressrosa for some time, and they have contacted Dover before entering the New World. However, they entered in a very secretive way, and the outside world did not know. Now, except for him staying in the palace, the rest of the Hell Pirates are free to move around. Some are practicing, and some are traveling around the island country to relax, but none of them are allowed to leave. As for the pirates in the Impel Down City, they are probably looking for fun somewhere...
Dressrosa, a country that looks "bright and beautiful" on the surface, is actually quite dirty "underground", which is the favorite paradise of pirates.
Moreover, Doflamingo's subordinates also keep an eye on Lucci 24 hours a day in the name of "tour guides" to prevent him from reporting to the World Government.
Next, Oboro will cut off the "contact" between Lucci and the World Government and not give him any chance.
After this photo of the execution of the Celestial Dragon was exposed, Lucci's bizarre "disappearance" will only increase the suspicion of the World Government.
In addition, after entering the New World, Oboro has deeply experienced the difference in the "environment" during this period.
The World Government or the Navy has too little control over the New World, so they are not so well-informed in the handling of intelligence and information... At the same time, they also understand the power of Doflamingo, the underground boss of the New World. Normally, the Hell Pirates entered Dressrosa with hundreds of people. No matter how well they hid, they would definitely come into contact with outsiders. If it was in the first half of the Grand Line, it would probably be less than half a day before the news reached the World Government.
But now... Doflamingo used his own ability to completely block the source of the news.
You know, looking at the entire New World, there are not many people who can perfectly "hide" them... There are not many people.
In terms of doing things alone, I have to admire this guy.
And the reason why Oboro found Doflamingo, in addition to the relationship they had established in the North Sea before, is that the plan of the Hell Pirates below... needs Doflamingo's help, and no one can do it except him.
This is why Oboro "liked" Doflamingo early on.
"What is the situation outside now?"
Oboro changed the subject.
"The Whitebeard remnants, led by Marco, can only hold a limited territory... After losing Whitebeard, they still have some cohesion, but it is not as good as before. Some of the former main forces, such as captain-level characters, are facing challenges from all kinds of monsters. However, Whitebeard's territory is currently mainly eaten by Kaido and Big Mom... But with Red Hair's help, these two can't get much. The remaining small resources are divided up by some big forces..."
"You have also made a lot, right?"
Long raised his eyebrows.
"Hehehe... Didn't that guy Sand Crocodile tell you?"
Dover laughed strangely.
Although Crocodile has been entrenched in the first half of the Grand Line, his connections and energy are not low, and he also has channels for intelligence collection. Moreover, the Hell Pirates themselves have a large industry, and even in the Grand Line, they have some connections. Although they have been staying in Dressrosa, they are not completely oblivious to what is happening outside.
"I originally wanted to make a fortune under Kaido and Big Mom... After all, the current chaotic situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people like me. But now it seems that I am not the biggest beneficiary..."
"Teach?"
Oboro said a name.
"That's right... Although the resources he plundered seem to be insignificant, the industry and quantity added together are amazing. Moreover, they are still hunting down the remnants of Whitebeard, gradually opening up their reputation, recruiting a lot of people, and they are doing very well... They have completely established a foothold in the New World. To be honest, I didn't even expect this speed of development."
Dover's words were a little cold.
Because Teach took a lot of his cake.
Given Doflamingo's personality, he can watch his opponent seize the initiative, which can only mean one thing... He is a little afraid of Blackbeard with his strength.
Otherwise, Teach would have died long ago.
"Don't underestimate him."
Oboro was not surprised at all.
"Are you really indifferent to these 'legacy' left by Whitebeard?"
Doflamingo's words were full of meaning.
"Not interested... I don't like empty talk."
"No matter how much territory you have or how rich your resources and industries are, it's useless without strong power to defend them."
"These people seem to have everything, but in fact, they are just keeping it for me temporarily. If I want it, I can take it at any time, and I don't have to manage it myself."
After saying this, Long smiled at Dover, "Of course, you are different from them."
"咈咈咈..."
Joker's smile was fake, "Don't use this to fool me."
"We are just using each other... Of course, I don't have much capital to negotiate with you now."
"However, I am very interested in your purpose, so... I don't mind being used by you."
"咈咈咈..."
"Ah... You and Crocodile are really alike, both so boring."
Long sighed.
