Inside Victor's villa on Sabaody Archipelago.
Doflamingo personally came before Victor with a gift.
"Admiral Victor, this is what you wanted."
After Doflamingo finished speaking, Trebol handed over the box containing the Devil Fruit.
Doflamingo opened it himself, revealing the Devil Fruit inside.
A dazzling golden Devil Fruit.
The Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit.
"Hmm, your efficiency is quite impressive." A smile tugged at the corners of Victor's mouth when he saw it.
Light stepped forward and accepted the gift.
"Admiral Victor, about the Shichibukai..."
At this point, Doflamingo brought up the Shichibukai. He now needed the title and its privileges.
Victor chuckled and said, "Your influence isn't enough yet. Even if I arrange for you to become a Shichibukai, those monsters won't take you seriously."
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo maintained his smile on the surface, but he was somewhat displeased inside.
He had thought that handing over the Gold-Gold Fruit would also earn him the title of Shichibukai.
After all, Victor had promised him that as long as he completed the mission, he could obtain anything he wanted.
Victor seemed to see through Doflamingo's thoughts. Puffing on his cigar, he said with a smile, "Don't rush me. I promised to give it to you, so just wait. If I don't want to give it to you, getting anxious won't help."
"Yes." Doflamingo forced a smile.
"All right, go back."
Victor waved his hand, sending Doflamingo away.
After Doflamingo left, Victor said to Light, "Go call Tesoro over."
"Yes." Light nodded.
Tesoro soon arrived at the villa.
Whenever Victor summoned him, Tesoro always put down all his work and came at the first opportunity.
Just like a dog.
When a dog heard its master call, it always returned to its master's side immediately, whether it was playing or not.
Tesoro came before
