The Whereabouts of [Uranus, the King of Heaven]!
Donquixote Doflamingo is still alive?
Saint Nusjuro did not answer Storm's question immediately, but instead looked at the Gorosei beside him.
Clearly, not only Saint Nusjuro, but the other Gorosei were also surprised and puzzled by this news.
Saint Nusjuro clearly saw the varying degrees of surprise on the faces of the other Gorosei.
The World Economic Journal's breaking news report exaggerated the situation in Dressrosa.
Another "horrifying scene," another "Three-headed White Dragon Flag," another "Shichibukai"...
The Gorosei, including Saint Nusjuro, all believed that White Dragon had completely destroyed the Donquixote Family and killed Donquixote Doflamingo.
But now things seem a little off.
And a very crucial point is --
White Dragon has discovered Donquixote Doflamingo's identity as Celestial Dragons!
"White Dragon, regarding Donquixote Doflamingo..."
Saint Nusjuro withdrew his gaze from the other Gorosei and stared intently at the Den Den Mushi in front of him.
What are your conditions?
"That depends on what your requirements are."
Storm chuckled and passed the ball back to Saint Nusjuro.
"Making Doflamingo 'shut up' costs one price, making Doflamingo 'disappear' costs another."
"If you want a live Donquixote Doflamingo, that's a different price!"
After saying those words...
Storm hung up the Den Den Mushi cleanly and decisively.
His meaning was simple—give the Gorosei some time to think carefully about the value of Donquixote Doflamingo!
The Den Den Mushi hung up, and a silence fell Chamber of Power.
"I never expected this..."
Saint Nusjuro's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he silently tightened his grip on the hilt of the [First Generation Onigiri], one of the Supreme Great Grade Swords Twelve Works.
"The White Dragon did it again..."
"Judging from what he said, he probably wants to sell that 'Heavenly Yaksha' back to the government, just like he sold Pluton Rayleigh before."
Saint Nusjuro's anger was not feigned.
As the World Government's Financial Martial God, he felt he had figured out White Dragon's tactics.
Capture Great Pirate, sell them to the World Government, and earn "profits" beyond the bounty!
That is, a powerful Devil Fruit!
Under normal circumstances.
It is extremely difficult for pirates to obtain Devil Fruit.
However, obtaining Devil Fruit directly from the World Government would be much simpler.
[Logia: Cloud Fruit].
[Mythical Zoan: Yama-waro Fruit].
Saint Nusjuro clearly remembered the names and abilities of these two powerful Devil Fruit.
As for the other Paramecia Devil Fruit... he couldn't quite remember them.
To be fair...
Saint Nusjuro didn't care about Devil Fruit.
Aside from that one that was destined to be transformed into the [Rubber Fruit] by the World Government— [Zoan, Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Model].
All other Devil Fruit, no matter how high their quality or how powerful their abilities, are nothing more than that in Saint Nusjuro's eyes.
But no matter what...
These Devil Fruit are all the legitimate property of the World Government.
The Gorosei can toss Devil Fruit to their servants, pirates, or even slaves.
The Gorosei can give it.
But others cannot ask for it!
First, there was Pluton Rayleigh.
It's Doflamingo now.
The White Dragon's actions constantly violated Saint Nusjuro's taboos.
"No matter what, Donquixote Doflamingo must be redeemed!"
The Legal Martial God, Topman Saint Warcury, with his long white beard resembling wild boar tusks, immediately replied.
"Doflamingo's situation is completely different from Pluton Rayleigh's; Doflamingo is, after all, Celestial Dragons!"
World Nobles, Celestial Dragons.
In the eyes of the world's inhabitants, the Celestial Dragons are a privileged class that dominates and rules the World Government, and are born with special rights that supersede all laws and rules.
If the Celestial Dragons' dignity is ever offended, either CP0, the "Celestial Dragons' strongest shield," or the Admiral, the "World Government's highest fighting force," will immediately take action to protect the Celestial Dragons' rights from infringement.
However, these statements were only made publicly.
At least within this Chamber of Power.
The Gorosei generally don't care about the lives or deaths of ordinary Celestial Dragons.
Even among the Celestial Dragons, there are differences.
The Gorosei hold a status far exceeding that of ordinary Celestial Dragons.
Below the Gorosei, there is a special organization—
Knights of God!
The Knights of God are responsible for maintaining internal order among the Celestial Dragons and even have the power to execute Celestial Dragons!
But.
Although the Gorosei and the World Government don't really care about ordinary Celestial Dragons.
But this signal must absolutely not be released to the outside world!
As for Donquixote Doflamingo.
In the memories of the Gorosei.
Doflamingo has done many outrageous things.
For example, plundering Heavenly Tribute, blackmailing the World Government, and forcibly seizing the position of Shichibukai...
If the World Government could actually capture Donquixote Doflamingo.
Then the Gorosei would definitely choose to secretly execute this "Doflamingo" without hesitation!
After all, only by killing people can the secrets of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government be kept from being leaked...
But.
Doflamingo, this "former Celestial Dragons," can die.
But it would be best if he died at the hands of the World Government!
I second that.
Wearing a black hat and sporting judge-like white curly hair, the Science Defense Martial God Lucy Saint Saturn, spoke in a deep voice.
"Doflamingo is not only Celestial Dragons, but he also possesses the secret of the 'National Treasure'!"
The Celestial Dragons' National Treasure are absolute taboos that ordinary people cannot even touch.
However, Doflamingo was aware of the existence of the "National Treasure" as well.
He even used this information to threaten the World Government.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Gorosei were inclined to secretly execute Doflamingo.
Doflamingo's special status as Celestial Dragons, coupled with his possession of the secret of the National Treasure, contributed to his power.
This led the Gorosei to reach a consensus.
Buy Donquixote Doflamingo from White Dragon!
Saint Nusjuro took out Den Den Mushi and dialed White Dragon again.
The Financial Martial God got straight to the point, stating the terms directly.
"Hand Donquixote Doflamingo over to the government! Five Devil Fruit! Including one Logia and one Mythical Zoan!"
The conditions that Saint Nusjuro offered at this time were almost identical to those offered during the "Pluton Transaction".
It's just that one Artificial Devil Fruit is missing.
"Hmm? Heh..."
Storm sneered, his contempt undisguised.
"So, in the eyes of the Gorosei, a living Celestial Dragons is only worth five Devil Fruits?"
"Then I'll give you five Devil Fruits, and the World Government will just sell me any Celestial Dragons?"
Such a contemptuous attitude, such an arrogant demeanor.
Several veins bulged on Saint Nusjuro's bald head.
"White Dragon! What exactly do you want?"
Storm calmly and deliberately stated his terms.
"Shut up Doflamingo. Three Devil Fruit: Logia, Mythical Zoan, and Paramecia."
"To shut Doflamingo up forever, five Devil Fruits, just like you just said."
"As for a living Donquixote Doflamingo... I want that [Paramecia Op- Op-Op Fruit]! The legendary [Op-Op Fruit] that can grant people eternal life!"
This is Storm's "condition".
Rather than wanting to make a deal with the World Government;
Rather, it's more accurate to say he wanted to use Donquixote Doflamingo to blackmail the World Government!
Although Storm doesn't often do what pirates do.
But he had no qualms about extorting the World Government.
Upon hearing Storm's words, Saint Nusjuro's pupils contracted slightly.
The Gorosei's unique spiritual communication channel is now directly activated here.
How did White Dragon find out about the [Op-Op Fruit]?
'Could it be that Donquixote Doflamingo told him?'
'A few years ago, the government almost got the [Op-Op Fruit]! If it weren't for Donquixote Doflamingo deliberately causing trouble!'
'We failed to obtain the [Op-Op Fruit] before, and we initially thought the Donquixote Family had taken Devil Fruit, but now it seems that's not the case?'
'No matter what, we have no way to give up the [Op-Op Fruit]... Should we try to snatch Doflamingo from White Dragon's hands?'
'Rob? How? That White Dragon can fly! Are we going to send Mazz to hunt White Dragon down?'
'Doesn't the Navy still have Kizaru?'
'It would be good to have Kizaru take action!'
'That brat White Dragon has threatened the government several times already!'
'If this continues, how can the government maintain its authority?'
'... Let Nusjuro talk to White Dragon first and test his attitude!'
The spiritual communication between the Gorosei has ended.
Saint Nusjuro picked up the Den Den Mushi again.
"The government has no [Op-Op Fruit] in its hands --"
"That's my condition."
Storm interrupted Saint Nusjuro without a second thought.
"A living Doflamingo is worth this price in my eyes!"
Saint Nusjuro glared angrily at the Den Den Mushi.
"White Dragon! Don't be so presumptuous!"
"If you don't act recklessly, who's going to be a pirate?"
Storm chuckled and said in a low, gloomy tone.
"The World Government and the Navy intend to publicly execute Pluton Rayleigh."
"Should I also give Donquixote Doflamingo a public execution?"
"For example, in... Loguetown!"
"Although Doflamingo isn't the Pirate King and doesn't possess information about the Great Treasure, he's Celestial Dragons, the Dark World King, and Shichibukai... He must know quite a few secrets, right?"
"Gorosei, you wouldn't want Doflamingo to reveal secrets that shouldn't be revealed, would you?"
With a slight exertion of his right hand, Saint Nusjuro crushed the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
An awkward silence fell Chamber of Power.
White Dragon's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head regarding the Gorosei's biggest concerns.
The World Government is never worried about pirates becoming too powerful; they are only worried about pirates knowing secrets they shouldn't know!
For example, the Roger Pirates back then.
Take, for example, Donquixote Doflamingo!
"Damn it!"
Saint Nusjuro, grumbling, found a new Den Den Mushi and dialed White Dragon.
"We agree to your conditions!"
"Shut Donquixote Doflamingo up completely!"
After saying that, Saint Nusjuro hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.
Storm didn't mind.
He put away the Den Den Mushi and went directly to Doflamingo.
A considerable amount of time has passed since the events in Dressrosa concluded.
Donquixote Doflamingo had already regained consciousness.
However, the existence of the Sea Bubble is an "imprison" that no Devil Fruit User can break free from.
Doflamingo, this "thread man," is the same.
When Storm came over.
Doflamingo was lying listlessly inside the Sea Bubble.
He had just tested it; this seemingly thin bubble actually possessed incredible resilience.
Doflamingo wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, nor what was happening in the outside world.
Doflamingo was very worried about the rest of the Donquixote Family.
But right now, all he can do is worry.
Storm approached.
Doflamingo noticed the other person immediately.
The Doflamingo sat up almost instinctively, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on its forehead.
Anyway.
The "White Dragon Tail Whip" attack that White Dragon just used definitely left a very deep impression on Doflamingo.
The feeling of being struck by that Blue-Eyes White Dragon...
It was just like being hit by Beasts Kaido's spiked club...
In Doflamingo's mind, he had already elevated the White Dragon's strength to the same level as Beasts Kaido!
They were all terrifying monsters that he was completely powerless against!
"White Dragon..."
Doflamingo placed his hand on the Sea Bubble and said in a humble tone.
"My Donquixote Family is--"
A crimson light flashed in Storm's eyes as his Observation Haki, capable of "reading minds," peered through the Sea Bubble, discerning Doflamingo's inner thoughts.
Storm immediately "saw" that Doflamingo intended to make a deal with him.
Just like the deal he Beasts Kaido before.
They used Beli, resources, Devil Fruit... to secure their own survival.
"There is no more Donquixote Family!"
Storm interrupted Doflamingo abruptly.
"I've found you a good 'buyer'."
"Now, you just need to answer a few questions for me."
The information revealed by White Dragon was extremely significant.
Doflamingo didn't react for a moment, only muttering something unconsciously.
"What?"
Storm asked directly.
What is the Celestial Dragons' National Treasure?
Doflamingo gave White Dragon a deep look, but then shut his mouth.
As one of the few "intelligent" people on the high seas, Doflamingo instantly realized something.
The "Celestial Dragons' National Treasure" might be his guarantee of survival.
However, the next second...
Storm's words ruthlessly shattered Doflamingo's illusions.
"Oh, so that ' Celestial Dragons 'Uranus National Treasure' is [Uranus]!"
Doflamingo couldn't help but widen his eyes.
How did you know?
"Hmm? So your move '16 Holy Bullets - God Thread's is actually imitating the attack method of [Uranus, the Uranus]? How interesting."
Doflamingo was shocked again, but he quickly realized the crux of the problem.
"Can you read minds?"
Riku Violet's Paramecia Stare- Glint-Glint Fruit also allows her to read people's thoughts.
Doflamingo was no stranger to this ability, which is why he realized that Storm was reading his mind.
But this discovery almost drove Doflamingo to utter despair.
He was about to lose even his last remaining "intelligence value"...
Storm didn't answer, but continued to ask.
Where is the Ancient Weapon [Uranus, the Uranus of the Uranus] located?
Doflamingo tried his best not to think about this problem.
But it's like that famous "pink elephant in the room".
The less Doflamingo tried to connect the dots, the more detailed and numerous the pieces of information his mind revealed.
"Ancient Weapon [Uranus, the Uranus]..."
Storm gets the answer from Doflamingo's brain.
"Located in the Devil's Triangle!"
Yesterday's update was a bit late, so today's update is late...
First update, more tonight.
Continuing with five updates today.
--
Regarding the connection between the "Celestial Dragons' National Treasure" and the "Uranus".
This is a [secondary setting] of the book.
However, Donquixote Doflamingo's [Sixteen Sacred Bullets: God Thread] is indeed very similar to the power Imu to destroy the Lulusia Kingdom in chapter 1160.
The 16 beams of light that fell from the sky directly destroyed the Lulusia Kingdom.
