One Piece: How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?

At the same time, in Dressrosa.

Doflamingo sat in a room at the highest position in the castle.

The windows and doors are open, letting the sea breeze blow in, lifting the curtains that are the same pink as his shawl and bringing in gusts of coolness.

Clatter!

Doflamingo crossed his legs and placed them on the coffee table in front of him. At his feet was a connected Den Den Mushi.

Disco's panicked cry for help came from the Den Den Mushi receiver: "Boss, save me!"

"Former Marines admiral Zephyr has appeared in Loguetown. Our human trafficking business has been discovered."

"They have already closed down the auction house, and it will be my turn next."

"This is the sales network that we have worked so hard to build. If we lose this place, the entire supply chain in the East Blue will be affected!"

Listening to Disco's call for help, Doflamingo's smile became more cruel: "Hey, Disco, from now on, that auction house over there is your property and has nothing to do with me.

Disco was slightly stunned, and then he realized that Doflamingo was planning to abandon him.

His face turned extremely pale in an instant.

If he lost the protection of the Donquixote Family, with his own ability, he would not be able to escape from the Marines.

What awaits him, if not the death penalty, is life imprisonment.

"Boss, no, young master, save me! Save me!"

After a long silence, the Den Den Mushi was about to close its eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Disco's heart was also in extreme panic at this moment.

Then, while trembling, he gathered up his money and belongings, contacted nearby boats that could help him escape, and turned around to prepare to leave.

Bang!

But the next moment, the door of the room was violently pushed open.

A young and beautiful female officer, with a whole row of armed marines, was staring coldly at Disco.

The person who came was Ain, who came here to arrest Disco under the order of Zephyr.

"I am Captain Ain from the Marine Headquarters. I suspect you are connected to the slave trade in the East Blue. Please follow me."

Instantly, Disco's legs went limp.

Ain waved her hand, and several marines came forward to handcuff Disco, then forcibly dragged him away.

In Dressrosa, Doflamingo hung up the Den Den Mushi; his expression gradually turned cold, and veins on his forehead were visible to the naked eye.

"It's really…"

"It was not easy for me to get the chance to reach the East Blue."

"White Knight Gawain, huh?"

After speaking, Doflamingo slowly picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at the headline about the upcoming Martial Arts Tournament in East Blue. 

The smile on his face became more ferocious: "They really haven't changed anything at all; they just copied the model of the bullfighting arena?!"

"You have the life to earn this money, but I don't want you to have the life to spend it!"

Between his words, the door of the room was pushed open.

Bang!

Diamante, who was tall and thin and wearing a red cape, walked in with an unhappy look on his face and said: "What's wrong, Doffy?"

"The duel in the bullfighting arena has just reached its climax, and the atmosphere is at its most intense."

"What can't you say later?"

Doflamingo said nothing and handed the newspaper to Diamante.

After the latter took a glance, his expression suddenly became ferocious:

"Raven Harbor? Are they tired of living? How dare they reach into our rice bowl?!"

For him, the bullfighting arena is his current glory and his greatest achievement.

Managing this place to the point of attracting the world's attention was something that made him extremely proud, but now someone had extended their hand to it.

How could he endure this?

"I want to go there myself!"

Doflamingo shook his head: "Things at the bullfighting arena cannot be separated from you."

"Let Dellinger and Senor Pink go there; with their strength, they have no rivals in the East Blue except for that ignorant White Knight Gawain."

Diamante nodded: "I'll make arrangements."

"The bullfighting arena is one of our core industries. Its annual revenue contribution is second only to the underworld arms trade. We cannot afford to lose anything!"

"Then let those two have a big fight!"

"I want to see the East Blue burn!"

"Fufufu!"

Everything that happened in Loguetown was quickly transmitted back to the Marine Headquarters through Zephyr's report.

A group of officers from the Marine Headquarters, including Sengoku, Tsuru, and Aokiji, were gathered in the conference room at this moment, looking at the documents in their hands with grim faces.

"Is he not growing so fast? How long has it been?"

"It took less than half a year for him to become famous in the East Blue and have a bounty of over 100 million. But it's too unreal to defeat a warlord now, right?!?"

"With this growth rate, the pirates who can be used as a reference are already big figures in the New World."

"We can't let this go on any longer. The potential shown by this pirate is simply too amazing!"

As time passed, the voices of the crowd were getting louder until the entire conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Bang!

Sengoku slammed his palm on the table.

Everyone's voices stopped instantly, and they all focused their attention on Sengoku, waiting for his next words.

"White Knight Gawain must be taken seriously, but don't forget that with the defeat of Hanafuda, a vacant position has appeared among the seven warlords of the sea."

"It is also a question of who should make up for this gap."

"Besides, you all know that there is an unclear connection between Hanafuda and Kaido."

"It was controversial to have him join the position of seven warlords of the sea. Now is the right time for us to choose to be relatively peaceful pirates and fill Hanafuda's place."

Tsuru turned and glanced at Sengoku.

After fighting side by side for decades, she knew Sengoku better than anyone else, so she could tell Sengoku's general idea with just one glance.

Then she said calmly: "Are you interested in this new guy?"

Sengoku was not surprised at all and nodded: "That's right."

"Although, according to the intelligence, Hanafuda had fought with Zephyr and Smoker before fighting him and was already seriously injured."

"But White Knight Gawain was able to suppress him in just a moment, which was an all-round crushing victory."

"Even if they fight at full strength, the results won't be much different."

"Just from this battle alone, this guy has indeed reached the level of a Warlord."

As the sound fell to the ground, no one had any objection because what Sengoku said was the truth.

Even Moria, who is now hiding in the Florian Triangle, has a question mark on whether he has the strength to fight Gawain.

Time takes away many things, not only the physical body, which will decline almost irreversibly after reaching its peak but also the mind.

Sengoku looked around and saw that no one had raised any objections, so he continued: "I will report this matter to Mary Geoise later. After the Five Elders agree, I will officially include White Knight Gawain as the nominated candidate for the position of warlord."

After speaking, Sengoku paused for a moment, then skipped over the matter of the seven warlords of the sea and focused his attention on the report on Loguetown.

His brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes showed a sense of unwillingness: "Those people have issued a special order regarding the events in Loguetown so the world cannot know about it."

"We…"

After speaking, Sengoku did not continue, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Clatter!

A piercing sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Sengoku raised his head when he heard the sound.

Aokiji, who was sitting in the corner, put his legs on the table and even pulled down the blindfold on his head, with an attitude of out of sight, out of mind.

This attitude is just like writing dissatisfaction on his face.

For a moment, Sengoku felt as if there was something stuck in his throat, especially when he saw that the marine officers around him were all silent.

In recent years, with the rise of the new generation of Marines, the invisible gap between the Marines and the World Government has become increasingly obvious in the hearts of every Marine.

Aokiji's confusion is just a microcosm of a certain group within the Marines.
