"Huh?"
Gringo's eyelids twitched, and when he met Akira's gaze, he almost couldn't help but curse.
He didn't expect that Akira pushed him to Izambaron. It wasn't enough that Topman and Saturn were the opposite, and they actually wanted to get involved with Knights of God.
However, although the position of leader of Knights of God was not decided by him, when he went to Flower Chamber before, Lord Im had already decided on the candidate, who was his eldest son Shamrock.
With Lord Im's command, even if Akira wants to get involved, he doesn't have to worry about the fat in his mouth flying away.
Thinking of this, Gringo smiled slightly and said calmly, "Of course I will resign as the leader of Knights of God, but this position has always been appointed by Lord Im. I dare not interfere with who the next leader will be."
"That's it."
Akira nodded and immediately stood up, "It seems it's time for me to go Flower Chamber."
Before Akira could step out, a Den Den Mushi placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa suddenly rang.
Immediately afterwards, Imu's voice came from Den Den Mushi, "Akira, you are launching a purge against the two major families Markas and Shepard. I can make concessions, but Knights of God you cannot interfere. The most important thing is that I have confirmed the candidate for the leader of Knights of God, no further discussion is needed!"
Hearing this, Akira raised his head and looked around the Chamber of Power hall, and said with an unhappy expression, "Imu, were you eavesdropping just now? I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. In fact, you don't have to be like this. There are no secrets here. I believe Sengoku has told you that I like famous brands. If you want to know anything, you can just come to me directly. There is no need to secretly install eavesdropping Den Den Mushi on Chamber of Power."
"..."
Den Den Mushi fell into a brief silence.
Obviously, Imu was left speechless by Akira's words.
After a few seconds, Imu seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Chamber of Power did not eavesdrop on Den Den Mushi, nor did it monitor Den Den Mushi."
Akira shrugged slightly, "Since Den Den Mushi was not eavesdropped, then you were just using Observation Haki to monitor? That's right, Imu. As expected of you, Observation Haki can actually cover Holy Land!"
This time Imu did not remain silent. He gritted his teeth and blurted out. "I didn't!"
"Why are you so anxious?" Akira blinked blankly, "Let me state in advance that I don't mean to be sarcastic, I just want to praise you Observation Haki for being so powerful!"
Den Den Mushi responded by taking a deep breath. It is not difficult to see that Imu should be on the verge of exploding at this time.
"Speaking of business."
Imu didn't want to continue on this topic, so he continued, "Knights of God's matter..."
"Wait,"
Before Imu could finish what he said, Akira interrupted him in time, "I must intervene in this matter! If you don't accept it, we will have a fight. I just want to see what kind of face you have hidden under that scarf!"
"Akira, you--" Imu was furious. Den Den Mushi expanded rapidly as the words came out, and was about to explode.
Before Imu had time to react, Akira immediately changed the subject, "Of course, I am not an overbearing and unreasonable person. If you make concessions, I will also take a step back."
"Since you have decided on the candidate for the leader of Knights of God, is it okay for me to appoint a deputy leader?"
"Deputy leader?" Imu's tone was obviously relieved and asked, "Who do you want to be the deputy leader of Knights of God?"
Hearing this, Akira turned his head and looked at Doflamingo standing on the left, and said simply:
"Don Quixote·Doflamingo!"
As soon as this was said, Gringo, Izambaron, Topman and Saturn all looked up at Doflamingo in disbelief.
Doflamingo was also unexpected, and his eyes widened under his sunglasses.
The tornado of happiness hit him so quickly?
After a brief moment of daze, Doflamingo secretly took a deep breath and straightened his rickety waist as never before.
If it weren't for Akira not liking the idea of kneeling down and worshiping, he would definitely give Akira one.
The reason is simple. Akira not only brought him to Holy Land to regain the dignity he had lost back then, but also pushed him to the position of deputy leader of Knights of God.
It doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative.
Importantly, as the deputy leader of Knights of God, he will have the power to enforce the law against Celestial Dragons.
This is far better than when he was solely focused on restoring the prestige of Celestial Dragons's identity.
You must know that his father gave up his identity as Celestial Dragons and left Holy Land. As a result, when he was young, he, his brother and his mother were beaten by civilians who hated Celestial Dragons, and his mother died as a result.
After decades, the young Navy Marshal not only brought him back to Holy Land, but also pushed him to a high position.
Such a great favor is equivalent to reinvention.
Not to mention knocking one, he will make money if he knocks ten!
"Yes."
Amidst the disbelieving looks of Izambaron and others, Imu's straightforward response came from Den Den Mushi.
"OK, that's the end of today's business."
Akira also simply cut off the call and looked at Doflamingo who was standing next to him and had not recovered from the happiness that came too quickly. "You should report to Knights of God now. If you have anything you don't understand, ask Gunko. Get involved as soon as possible and don't let me down!"
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Doflamingo straightened his body, raised his hands and saluted like a naval soldier, and then strutted out from the middle of Gringo and Izambaron with steps as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
"Everyone, please leave~"
Akira didn't stay any longer, looked around and then stood up, "Hancock, let's go."
Pangu City.
Gion, who had confiscated the property of the Markas family and the Shepard family, stood in front of the gate of a manor, looking at the mountains of various treasures and countless Beli on the opposite side. Instead of being happy about the harvest, his face looked heavy.
When she heard the two Rear Admiral reporting the situation on the way over, although she was secretly frightened, she had no intuitive feelings.
It wasn't until she saw the mountains of treasure Beli opposite that she understood what the two Rear Admiral meant by "being extremely rich".
Not counting all kinds of rare treasures and gold, just the Beli found from the Markas family and the Shepard family is enough to cover the expenses of all Marine Headquarters and Four Blues and Grand Line branches for at least one year.
If gold and jewelry are added, the Navy will not have to worry about funding in the next two years.
Of course none of this matters.
The important thing is that these gold jewelry Beli are all collected from World Government Member States by Celestial Dragons who enjoy all the privileges without production.
Just the Beli gold jewelry that was found was so astonishing. She could not imagine what an astronomical figure the wealth that had been squandered by the privileged Celestial Dragons over the years would be.
And every Bailey, every piece of gold, and every string of jewelry that the Tianlong people squandered were all extracted from the citizens by the franchised countries, which resulted in the deprivation of many franchised citizens!
If things continue like this, how can the world not be in chaos?
