Chapter 150 The Storm Is Coming
Dressrosa.
The island, which has always been sunny and windy, encountered rare bad weather. Continuous clouds piled up in the sky, blocking the sunlight. The beautiful sunflower fields lost their former brilliant luster. Of course, the scenery was still magnificent, with endless flower fields as far as the eye could see. It still attracts many tourists to stop and sightsee.
"It's so beautiful!"
Standing on the hill on the edge of the flower field, Cavendish stared at the gorgeous flower field with an intoxicated expression.
Behind him, the pirates of the Handsome Pirates showed an expression that said, "The captain has his own way." The crew members, who had long been accustomed to their own captain's style, had already split up before disembarking, purchasing supplies and asking questions. Intelligence... At the same time, a small group of people followed Cavendish to prevent the captain from being obsessed with the beautiful scenery and forgetting the time.
Such things have happened.
Cavendish's character is extremely narcissistic. In his eyes, no one can surpass him in appearance. Even the mermaid princess he met in the Kingdom of Aikmundo... He only reluctantly admitted that The other party may be comparable to the pirate empress among women.
Although he has extremely harsh and picky judgment standards for human beings, he can always appreciate the wonderful natural scenery and discover the wonderful beauty with an appreciative eye. Artificial flower fields like this are also in his Within the scope of appreciation.
When he was in the paradise, he was so intoxicated with the scenery on a certain island that he forgot the time he agreed with his companions to return to the ship. As a result, his companions who couldn't wait thought he had been attacked by the navy or other pirates. Immediately, they rushed back to the island with great fanfare and searched for people everywhere.
There were also several times when he missed the appointed time because he was indulged in the pursuit of fans...
Don’t have too many similar criminal records.
so,
In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, every time he left the pirate ship on the island, he would always arrange for someone to follow Cavendish to prevent his captain from doing anything wrong again.
"Captain, it's almost dinner time. It's time to go back and eat."
After looking at the watch on his wrist, a man stood beside Cavendish and shouted.
If you don't do this, you can't wake up Cavendish who is addicted to 'beauty'.
"...It's a pity. I heard that the flower fields are more beautiful on a sunny day." Cavendish reluctantly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the clouds in the sky. The accumulated clouds tended to gradually thicken. There are no signs of clearing up for a while.
"Let's wait and see tomorrow! I hope there will be good weather tomorrow."
He will stay in Dressrosa for a while. According to Elus' request, he needs to wait here for an invitation from the World Government and the Navy, inviting him to become the King of the Shichibukai... He I thought it was a joke at first.
After living in the new world for such a long time, it was enough for him to realize what the so-called 'powerful' looks like, and he was still far from reaching that standard. Of course, if it was appearance, he would never lose to it. anyone.
The insurmountable gap in strength dampened his ambition a lot.
In other words, he didn't have much ambition to begin with. He wasn't actually very interested in things like becoming the Pirate King and seizing the great secret treasure. He just liked to be the center of attention. To put it bluntly, what he enjoyed was being in the spotlight. When he has a good time in the limelight, he will do whatever it takes to do something surprising as long as it attracts people's attention.
For him, power is just a ladder to achieve the goal of "showing off".
Of course, strong power can bring him a bigger stage and more opportunities to shine. It is this that encourages and supports him to become stronger. Well, the sword skills he practices are also very gorgeous.
In short, he does not think that his strength can bear the title of King Shichibukai.
but,
Wait until he took the potion that was like flowing moonlight.
With his hands and feet filled with miraculous power, and looking at the gorgeous yet powerful sword skills he used, Cavendish understood that what Elus said about becoming the King's Shichibukai was not a boring joke. Power...it's indeed possible!
"Captain, how long do we have to stay here? This is the territory of that Tianyaksha. If nothing happens, I think it's better for us to leave as soon as possible." The crew member following him whispered softly.
Doflamingo's reputation in Dressrosa is not bad, but in the eyes of the pirates in the New World, this guy is an out-and-out villain, and he is also the King of the Shichibukai. He is a lackey of the World Government and Navy.
Pirates generally won't get close to Dressrosa unless necessary.
"Don't think so much, Tenyaksha is not our enemy." And even if Doflamingo really comes to trouble him, he is confident enough to protect himself now, and there is no enmity between them. , he didn’t think Doflamingo would try his best to kill him,
······
King's Heights, the highest point in Dressrosa, where the palace of the Don Quixote family is located.
"White Horse Cavendish... Is this the new King Shichibukai chosen by the World Government?" Doflamingo sat on the soft high-end sofa, half of his body was directly submerged by the sofa, and his back Leaning on the sofa, his right leg rested on his left leg, and his pointed shoes swayed slightly.
He held the microphone in his hand and was talking to Marshal Warring States.
"That unfortunate guy Crocodile!"
He didn't laugh at Crocodile's incompetence. It wasn't because of how good his friendship with Crocodile was. It was just that his opponent was the Black Prince's subordinate, and it was Dylan who had killed so many people in the New World. You have to know that he and he The giants of the dark world who were once equally famous were killed by Dylan.
Asking himself, he didn't think he would have done better if he met Dylan than Crocodile.
Well, of course he is confident that he can hold on for a longer time, unlike that guy Crocodile, who was beaten and fled so quickly, and all the subordinates who gathered were also killed...
"Doflamingo, we received information that the White Horse is in Dressrosa." Sengoku on the other end of the phone was impatient to listen to Doflamingo lamenting Crocodile's misfortune, and he said in a deep voice: " You go out and test Hakuba's depth to see if he is qualified to join the King's Shichibukai. If he can survive in your hands, tell him the navy's invitation, and then I will let Vergo go to Dressrosa. "
"You want me to take action? I hate this kind of fighting and killing job! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Doflamingo let out a head-numbing laugh.
Warring States frowned. He didn't have any good impressions of this gangster on the sea. Among all the people in the Qibukai, this bastard was the most annoying. But who allowed this guy to have a background of Tianlong people, bypassing the navy and The Holy Land directly hooked up... To be honest, if it weren't for the order from the Holy Land, he would have really wanted to punch this guy to death.
"Cut the nonsense, White Horse Cavendish, remember this name, and don't forget your identity, otherwise even if you have a holy land, if you piss me off, I guarantee you won't have a good life."
"Snapped!"
Warring States hung up the call directly.
"Humph! What a bad-tempered old man who likes to control others."
Doflamingo laughed twice, held the microphone in his hand, and stared at the phone bug hanging his head on the table, but his absent-minded eyes proved that he was not looking at anything, but was thinking about something... ····What he was thinking about was naturally what he had just said.
In fact, before Marshal Sengoku's call came in, Vergo had already contacted him and told him the cause, process and result of the matter.
Crocodile was removed from the list;
He doesn't really care.
He didn't care at all whether the crocodile who was attacked by Whitebeard and left the new world lived or died. Anyway, his power in the paradise was limited, and he had no conflict with Crocodile's Baroque Works... What he cared about was the white horse Cavendish.
A supernova that has only just emerged.
Speaking of which, Fire Fist, who is also a supernova, declined the World Government's invitation.
Although this white horse is often reported in newspapers, in Doflamingo's view, the white horse is obviously not as powerful as Fire Fist, and its level is far behind! As a result, White Horse was also spotted by the World Government and Navy...
And according to Virgo, it was the disabled old man Zefa who nominated him.
This is simply incredible,
As a sea rogue known for his cunning, he also has the convenient identity of King Shichibukai, which gives him a deep understanding of the navy. He investigated what kind of character and temper the famous [Black Arms] Zefa is. It is clear that it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between him and the pirates is incompatible.
Such a person would actually get involved in the personnel selection of the King's Shichibukai. Doflamingo became curious, what secret did this white horse have? Could it be said that he is Zefa's illegitimate son? Having gone astray, there is no way to turn back, so Zefa plans to give him an official status as King of the Shichibukai...
It's a very unreliable guess, but I can't help but think about it.
"Someone is coming."
"Little Lord."
"Go and get Violet for me."
"Yes, young master."
————
In the new world, the rain is coming in Dressrosa.
The Navy Headquarters is also not peaceful. Although the weather outside the window is very good, with clear sky and white clouds, the air pressure in the headquarters building is not very high. From the marshal's office to the general's office... a low air pressure permeates the air. Come, let the staff upstairs and downstairs instinctively hold their breath and concentrate, and even become cautious when standing up, for fear of making a harsh noise when moving their chairs.
Marshal's Office,
"Nico Robin...there is such a troublesome character!"
Warring States tugged at his beard, his eyebrows almost twisted into knots.
Before the trouble on the Shichibukai side was settled, another, perhaps even bigger, trouble was discovered that needed to be dealt with urgently. Nico Robin, the son of the devil who had been on the run for more than ten years, was caught for the first time. Although he was not captured by the navy, the navy could find a way to get him over.
only--
Will Elus happily let him go?
To be honest, there are countless ambitious people in this sea who covet the power of deciphering ancient texts controlled by Nico Robin. Even some guys who don’t have much ambition in the first place will inevitably become more ambitious after getting Nico Robin. A trace of ambition······
Elus himself is already strong enough. The existence of historical texts is no secret to people at Elus's level. Sengoku has no idea how he will react after getting Nico Robin. of certainty.
If, if Eleus develops undue ambitions and is unwilling to hand over Nico Robin to the Navy, the matter may turn into a big trouble that is difficult to deal with.
"No matter how much you think about this kind of thing, it's useless. Rather than thinking about it alone, it's better to ask directly. If Elus has developed ambition, you can't put it out, right?" Sitting on the sofa Lieutenant General He said slowly.
"Are you asking directly? I hope you don't give me bad news. Recent events have made my head almost split open."
Warring States rubbed his eyebrows.
He picked up the phone, opened the phone book next to the phone bug, found the official number of the Kingdom of Ekmundo, and dialed it.
The Warring States Period does not have Elus's private number, but open countries like the Kingdom of Exmundo often have official external communication channels to facilitate contact with other countries or large organizations. The secretaries will change it from time to time. In the phone book in Seng Guo's hand, some obsolete numbers were deleted and some new ones were added to ensure that Seng Guo could contact the people he wanted to contact at any time.
After two transfers, Sengoku contacted Elus.
The phone worm itself does not have the ability to transfer, but after installing the corresponding equipment on the phone worm, it can realize the transfer of calls. This technology has not been around for more than ten years, and it is not wrong. This thing is Bei One of Garpunk's inventions before joining the World Government.
"Hello, Marshal of the Warring States Period?"
"Prince Elvus, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"Hmm... Mr. Marshal, are you calling here for Nico Robin too?"
Warring States was stunned for a moment. He was still thinking about how to talk about this matter without arousing Elus's resistance. Unexpectedly, Elus mentioned it directly, but... etc. Wait, too? This word has a bit of meaning!
"Has anyone else contacted you about Nico Robin?"
"Of course, not just one person is interested in such a treasure. Big Mom is said to have more than two pieces of historical text in his hands!" Elus said truthfully.
Sengoku's heart tightened, and his already bunched eyebrows were completely entangled as if they were tied into a knot, "Prince Eleus, Nico Robin is a vicious criminal pursued by the World Government and the Navy. She must not be left behind." In the hands of Big Mom or other criminals, the best destination for such criminals who endanger world peace is the underwater prison. I hope that Prince Elus can hand her over to the navy."
After finishing his final request, Sengoku held his breath, waiting for Elus' response on the other side.
promise?
reject?
Or should we say that he takes things into consideration...
Different possibilities were swirling and colliding in his mind at a rapid speed. Which one would it be? At this moment, he actually felt a trace of nervousness that he had not seen in a long time.
This is Elus. If it were another weaker guy, to be honest, he wouldn't have to work so hard. No one would dare to stiffen his neck and not bow his head when the battleship passes by.
