He wasn't wrong.
Although he was now the king of Dressrosa and one of the kings of the underground black market, controlling the underground arms trade,
and even possessed the World Government-issued license to plunder, he still couldn't possibly produce that much money all at once...
After all, the Donquixote Family's operations and training, as well as the payments needed to appease the World Government and all sorts of untouchable forces, all required money!
And it was an enormous amount of money.
Especially since Dressrosa was currently a World Government member nation and had to pay Celestial Gold every year.
That was no small fortune. Some countries could drain their entire national wealth and still fail to produce it.
And five billion was no small sum!
Even among the bounties on the seas, only Sea Emperors could probably reach that level!
But for the coming war, he undoubtedly had to produce that money within an hour and transfer it through the underground black market.
Otherwise...
The Land of Grass wouldn't even need to make a move. Kaido would kill him first!
Especially Caesar...
While he didn't think any sea overlord would kill a top-tier scientist like Caesar, what if?
What if they really did kill him and informed the Beasts Pirates?
The Land of Grass was a pack of lunatics, but weren't the Beasts Pirates just as crazy?
They were all lunatics!
Although he was furious at the King of the Land of Grass's threat, he had to admit that bastard had caught him by the throat.
So this was no joke.
He genuinely wanted the Navy Rear Admiral before him to think of another solution, or perhaps... borrow money from the World Government!
Doflamingo clasped his hands over his knees, leaned forward slightly, and smiled at the four people
