Doflamingo's Bargaining Chip (Happy New Year) / Three Months, 85 Consecutive Victories

The repeated precedents of being completely wiped out clearly told Doflamingo that if he couldn't keep Arthur in check, his fate would inevitably be death.

Doflamingo, who had fallen into the sea and lost consciousness, thought that his life had come to an end.

Surprisingly, I survived.

Thinking of this, Doflamingo looked up at Arthur and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"Brilliant!" Arthur nodded slightly in approval and said, "I need you to use the energy of the Underworld to help me find a place in the New World."

Where?

"Zou, the moving dream island!"

"Is this all you're doing?" Doflamingo's eyes widened as he stared at Arthur in astonishment. "Do you even know what you're doing?"

Doflamingo was filled with disbelief!

He was allowed to live just for this reason?

He was allowed to live just for this reason?

You see, if I survive, I can communicate with the World Government at any time, and even use my position in the Underworld to reignite the topic that the 'King of Knights' is the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Rumble Fruit and the murderer of the Celestial Dragons. And under my deliberate manipulation, the sensationalism would definitely be even greater.

The actions of the 'King of Knights' can only be described as careless and raising a tiger to cause trouble; they are downright foolish.

"Ah... so?" Arthur responded, his emerald green eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Doflamingo with a meaningful gaze.

Seeing Arthur's expression, Doflamingo's initial astonishment vanished in an instant, replaced by a familiar, wicked grin on his pale face. "Fufu~ I understand. I will do as you command! You truly are a 'Monster' not to be underestimated. Those who are deceived by your appearance are a bunch of fools."

Intelligent people communicate in a very concise and clear way. Even if it's the first time you've had a deep interaction with someone, you can understand the meaning behind a single sentence or glance.

Although Arthur didn't say it explicitly, his words and expressions told Doflamingo everything.

First of all, Dressrosa is right here; he can't escape!

Secondly, he was no match for the "King of Knights." Given that the "King of Knights" spared his life, should he choose to help the "King of Knights" with a small favor, or should he do everything he could to curry favor with the World Government and inform the world's highest leader, the "Five Elders," about the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

Just as wise people understand wise people best, anyone who isn't a fool knows how to make the right choice.

Clearly, Doflamingo understood this.

"Very good, here's my contact information." Arthur nodded in satisfaction at Doflamingo's attitude, then took out a pre-prepared slip of paper from his pocket, crumpled it into a ball, and flicked it away. "Call this number when you find any trace of 'Zou'."

After replacing their old small sailboat with the "East Starion," Nami and Robin also raised several juvenile Den Den Mushi, which had already become functional Den Den Mushi capable of making calls a few months ago.

The number Arthur gave to Doflamingo was one of the Den Den Mushi) contact methods.

"Before that... King of Knights, I need your help." After catching the paper ball that was launched at him, Doflamingo remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Tell me about it..." Before Doflamingo could speak, Arthur's Observation Haki (A++) foresaw the future, but he still crossed his legs and spoke with great interest.

"... It's about Whitebeard Pirates!" Doflamingo flicked his fingers, as if after deep thought, before saying, "I'm afraid I've also offended Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Oh?" Arthur looked somewhat surprised, not expecting Doflamingo to actually choose to tell this outsider his biggest secret.

"This matter also involves 'Kaido the Beasts'..." Doflamingo's face turned extremely grim. "It all started with my deal with Kaido..."

The moment he opened his mouth, Doflamingo revealed all the secrets about Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits to Arthur.

Despite all this, Arthur, with his cheat code of knowing the plot, was aware of it all.

But Doflamingo was able to tell this enemy such a well-hidden secret.

This is enough to show that Doflamingo was actually very scared inside.

One Kaido already requires treating him with the utmost care, like a servant. If we add another one, like Edward Newgate World's Strongest Man, 'Whitebeard'...

Doflamingo couldn't imagine that scene...

Chapter 191 Doflamingo's Bargaining Chip (Happy New Year)

(Third update!)

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! Wishing you great fortune and prosperity!!

If the Tontatta hadn't been kidnapped, Doflamingo could have used the Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit as a bargaining chip to get Kaido to help him out of this predicament.

But that's clearly impossible.

First of all, if the Tontatta hadn't disappeared, Doflamingo wouldn't have encountered this situation.

Secondly, Kaido's temper, it would be fine if he could be provided with Artificial Zoan Devil Fruits, but if his dream is shattered, he will lash out at Doflamingo for whatever reason.

The disappearance of the Tontatta directly led to him offending two of the Four Emperors.

This is why Doflamingo was so enraged that he lashed out at Arthur.

Now that Doflamingo has been beaten into submission by Arthur and has experienced the 'King of Knights' unparalleled Swordsmanship and abilities, he is clearly treating Arthur as his lifeline.

The whole story about Artificial Devil Fruits was naturally told.

"I see!" After listening to Doflamingo's explanation, Arthur nodded as if Satori, then revealed a gloating smile, saying, "Although I sympathize with your plight, I still maintain... I refuse!"

"If you're willing to help me overcome this difficulty, my power is entirely at your disposal." Doflamingo wasn't discouraged by Arthur's words. As a businessman, he understood the meaning of profit perfectly. So he offered his bargaining chip, saying, "I possess a vast intelligence network, and I'm one of the Shichibukai appointed by the World Government. Perhaps you're unaware of the privileges of this position!"

"Your identity will be exposed sooner or later. Those arrogant guys who call themselves descendants of gods will absolutely not allow someone who has blasphemed them to continue living in this world. At that time, the government's encirclement and suppression of you will be inevitable." Doflamingo calmly analyzed, "Besides the Navy, the World Government also has 'CP0,' which is directly under the World Government's highest intelligence agency. You may not know the power of this intelligence agency, but I know it very well!"

"They are hailed as the 'strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons,' and include many top-tier fighters whose strength rivals that of Marine Admiral."

"However, these powerful individuals are one of the World Government's trump cards, and they are rarely used unless absolutely necessary," Doflamingo continued. "Therefore, no matter what the event, the World Government will first use their open weapons to summon the Shichibukai!"

"If your identity is exposed, the World Government will first summon the Shichibukai," Doflamingo said seriously. "If you help me through this crisis, and your identity is exposed, I will be your spy planted within the World Government."

"Hmm... it sounds like there are quite a few benefits." Arthur stroked his chin, pretending to be deep in thought, but his true thoughts remained unknown to others.

Then, Arthur looked at Doflamingo and asked doubtfully, "By the way, why are you so sure that if I'm willing to help you, I can definitely help you get through this crisis? Is it because of my Swordsmanship, or the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"Fufu~ I don't have much faith in you, and I never put my life in someone else's hands." Doflamingo unconsciously twitched his fingers, a wicked smile on his face, and said, "Actually, what worries me isn't that old lion Whitebeard, but that unreasonable madman Kaido!"

"Everyone in the New World knows that Whitebeard Pirates the most loyal and righteous of all, and therefore the islands protected by him are all places favored by the Whitebeards." Doflamingo smiled and said, "I already have suspects regarding the disappearance of the Tontatta. And their goal is nothing more than to overthrow my throne. The person I know who has the ability to help Whitebeard Pirates is self-evident."

"Since the target is me, and this Dressrosa Kingdom..." Doflamingo said with a cruel smile, "Then as long as everyone on this island is taken hostage, my safety is not a concern."

· ······Requesting flowers· ··

At this point, Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged again, and he said in a low voice, "But without the Tontatta, and without the plant materials needed to cultivate Artificial Devil Fruits, I've already offended that madman Kaido."

"I see... Then why don't you just be honest with Kaido?" Arthur nodded and said, "Kaido's dream is to build a fleet entirely composed of Zoan Devil Fruit users. If he knew this, he would probably go to war with Whitebeard Pirates to reclaim the Tontatta for you."

"It's useless... we can't take it back." Doflamingo shook his head firmly and said, "I can already imagine Whitebeard Pirates's purpose in taking the Tontatta."

0...

"Hmph..." Arthur smiled with slight surprise, his opinion of Doflamingo rising even higher.

It seems that Doflamingo had the same idea in mind.

"You may find it hard to believe, but if nothing unexpected happens, Whitebeard is very likely to become even stronger..." Doflamingo stared at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "Kaido will definitely be defeated by Whitebeard, and at that time, I will be blamed by Kaido or his All-Stars."

"You want me to help you deal with Kaido's forces?" Arthur finally understood and asked with a light laugh.

"That's right!" Doflamingo nodded, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "Fufu~ If I'm not mistaken, you fought Kaido, and you even gave that terrifying Monster a hard time! Otherwise, he wouldn't be searching the whole world for you!"

Arthur gazed at Doflamingo: "I'm suddenly smitten!"

Although he knew that Doflamingo would never be loyal to anyone, and although he seemed to have given Arthur a lot of leverage, he might betray him in the blink of an eye after the crisis was over.

But Doflamingo's intelligence and emotional intelligence are undoubtedly superior to Haiji Lan'er's.

His intelligence network, in particular, is something Arthur desperately needs.

Chapter 192 Three Months, 85-Game Winning Streak

Happy Lunar New Year! May you all have a prosperous 2018!

Finally, Arthur made a decision.

Although Doflamingo is a ruthless and cunning man, he is absolutely not someone to be trusted.

However, his power is indeed the greatest among the Shichibukai, possessing the intelligence capabilities that Arthur desperately needs.

With his cheat-like knowledge of the plot, Arthur knew everything about Doflamingo's personality and secrets.

With such overwhelming strength, Arthur wasn't afraid of Doflamingo betraying him.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Arthur decided to help Doflamingo and assist him in dealing with Kaido or his All-Stars.

Time slips away quietly, like a fleeting moment.

As the Sun rises and night falls, a day has passed in four, three, and seven minutes.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of victories is now 76!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 77!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 78!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of victories is now 79!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of victories has reached 80!"

"..."

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

A beam of blue-white light, like a shooting star, accompanied by a sonic boom, swept across several nautical miles in the blink of an eye, striking a large sailboat with unerring accuracy. A massive mushroom cloud rose up, also affecting several surrounding sailboats, interspersed with blue-white arcs of electricity and orange-red flames.

The extremely strong storm, even across several nautical miles, caused the clothes of a figure standing on the sea to flutter wildly.

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 83!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 84!"

"Ding! You have won this battle. Your total number of wins is now 85!"

With his golden hair and white knight's cape billowing behind him, and wisps of blue and white lightning swirling around him, Arthur heard three system notifications in quick succession in his mind.

Three warm currents of varying strengths surged within the body, undergoing a period of deep concentration to prepare the energy needed to break through the bottleneck.

Name: Arthur Pendragon

Height: 181cm

Weight:69kg

Strength: A(A+)

Durability: A (A+)

Agility: A+ (A++)

Mana: A

Lucky Lucky~EX

Inherent Skills: Instinct (A), Mana Burst (A), Giant Beast Hunting (A), Charisma (D)

Skills: Observation Haki (A++), Armament Haki (A), Conqueror's Haki (A), Swordsmanship (A+), Spear Technique (A+)

..."

In three months, Arthur's Victory Index finally soared from (75) to (85) times.

This also means that ten highly prestigious figures either lost or died at his hands.

The ten consecutive bursts of energy of varying strength did not change Arthur's four-dimensional attributes, but his skills did undergo subtle changes.

His Conqueror's Haki level increased from (A-) to (A), and his Spear Technique level increased from (A+) to (A+).

Arthur's ability to gain such a huge Victory Index so quickly is all thanks to Doflamingo.
