While the small fleet of the Goa Empire was heading to the battlefields of the Flower Kingdom and the Mulberry Kingdom.
At this time, the Mulberry Kingdom purchased a large quantity of weapons from the underground dark emperor JOKER.
Among them are weapons produced in Wano Country Wano Country, one of the Four Emperors of the Beast Kaido, and even plague shells manufactured by Queen the Plague.
The weapons support from the Mulberry Kingdom caught the Flower Kingdom completely off guard.
The effect of a single Plague Shell was enough to inflict heavy losses on the Flower Kingdom, with countless soldiers contracting serious illnesses.
The Mulberry Kingdom was very satisfied with this and secretly continued to increase its weapons procurement.
This made the Donquixote Family's arms business extremely successful, earning them a fortune.
Anyway, Doflamingo is just a middleman; the pollution from weapons production is none of his business.
Even if the entire Wano Country is contaminated by the Beasts Pirates' military factories, its drinking water is polluted, Wano Country die, it will have nothing to do with Doflamingo.
The plague that Queen the Plague caused in the Flower Kingdom was also none of his business.
He simply charged the Mulberry Kingdom a huge intermediary fee for finding suitable arms suppliers for the Mulberry Kingdom, and at the same time sold some of the arms he produced to the Mulberry Kingdom.
Doflamingo even tries to earn a commission from those suppliers, profiting from both sides.
However, given the strength of the Beasts Pirates, and Doflamingo's exclusive agency for the Seastone of Wano Country, Doflamingo will not charge the Beasts Pirates a brokerage fee.
After all, the profits from Seastone made Doflamingo a considerable fortune.
Now, even the World Government has to go through Doflamingo to purchase large quantities of Seastone.
Doflamingo is a middleman connecting the underworld and the legitimate world, one of the dark emperors of the gray area.
In order to keep Beast Kaido in check and maintain his agency for Seastone, Doflamingo had to constantly find customers for the Beasts Pirates and even search for Zoan Devil Fruit for Beast Kaido.
The pressure he was under was actually quite significant.
After Beast Kaido's military factory in Wano Country is constantly in operation, treating the people there as if they were not human, and weapons are being produced in an endless stream.
It was even harder and more dangerous than being a toy worker in Dressrosa.
If Doflamingo can't sell the weapons produced in Wano Country, he'll be in for a world of hurt from Beast Kaido's Thunder Bagua.
That's why Doflamingo wanted the Goa Empire as a major client, even going so far as to give away Baby 5, his 'adopted daughter'.
Sand Crocodile Crocodile's rebels in Alabasta received many of their weapons from Doflamingo.
Crocodile's Seastone cage was made by Doflamingo.
Therefore, Doflamingo and Crocodile have collaborated on many projects.
Doflamingo really wants to win Crocodile over and deepen their cooperation.
···
But Doflamingo was unaware that his major client, the Goa Empire, was actually going to cause trouble for another major client Mulberry Kingdom.
If he knew, he'd definitely be furious and start cursing.
He has now set his sights on Caesar, the scientist-criminal, and is preparing to produce artificial Zoan Devil Fruit.
After all, the pressure of helping Beast Kaido find Devil Fruit is immense.
If he succeeds in the Artificial Devil Fruit business, his partnership with the Beasts Pirates will be even more secure.
Beast Kaido might even send his Three Disasters to protect him.
The pressure to find markets for weapons will be less.
Therefore, during this period, Doflamingo had already used Vergo, his biggest hidden pawn, to rescue Caesar, a serious criminal.
···
In the capital of the Flower Kingdom.
Ramen, the King of the Flower Kingdom, with a crown on his bald head, a dragon tattoo on one side, and sunglasses, nearly ripped off his mustache while looking at the latest battle report.
"That despicable Mulberry Kingdom, they actually used plague cannonballs!"
The Ramen King was furious. That bastard samurai, who kept talking about the samurai spirit, actually used such a despicable weapon.
"Your Majesty, we originally held an absolute advantage, but the Mulberry Kingdom is truly despicable."
"Your Majesty, please allow our pillars of state to mobilize the entire army and fight those scum of the Mulberry Kingdom to the death!"
Zhang Bao, the commander-in-chief of the official pirate force of the Flower Kingdom Ippo Navy, was extremely angry, and his two fists, covered with thick calluses, emitted waves of energy.
This is precisely the result of mastering the Flower Kingdom Punching Fist to its fullest extent.
It can unleash a wide-ranging shockwave at any time, shattering swords and shields and damaging the enemy's internal structure.
It is a powerful martial art similar to the Ryou attack style.
The Punching Fist also possesses powerful defensive capabilities, making it difficult for even swords and knives to harm the Punching Fist.
However, mastering the Punching Fist is not easy, Awakening the true meaning of the Punching Fist is even more difficult.
In the Happo Navy, each branch has its own unique Punching Fist developed by generations of strong fighters.
They divided the Punching Fist into the First Impact Fist, the Second Impact Fist, and so on, up to the Hasshoken.
Among them, the Happo Navy's Hasshoken is known for its hardness and armor-piercing ability, and its strongest secret technique is 'Kuri-Kugi Punch'.
Their standard for inheritance is the ability to Awakening profound mysteries and shatter the family's treasure trove, the Treasure Ice Mountain.
With Chinjao the Drill's fist dented by Fist Garp, none of the Happo Navy can now unleash their strongest technique to break through their Treasure Ice Mountain.
The First Impact Fist of the Ippo Navy is known for its wide-range shockwave, somewhat similar to the shockwave of the Sengoku the Buddha.
The "Hasshoken Secret Technique: Cone Kuri-Kugi Punch: Green Chinjao Open Gate" of Chinjao the Drill Green Pepper can split through hard jade ice tens of meters deep and hundreds or thousands of meters long in a single move.
···
"Zhang Bao, please calm down!"
"According to my intelligence, the weapons, Plague Shell, and Poison Gas Shell that the Mulberry Kingdom are not weapons they produced at all."
"We need to find out where their weapons come from first, and then cut off their arms supply lines."
"Only in this way can we minimize casualties and defeat the Mulberry Kingdom!"
The Ramen King looked helplessly at the violent naval commander-in-chief. If they were to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Mulberry Kingdom now, both sides would suffer enormous losses.
It's important to know that the West Blue has more than just these two pirate Affiliated Nation.
Those jackals and hyenas were waiting for them to weaken each other before rushing in to divide them up.
The Yamato and second eldest of the Twin Heroes of the West Blue are fighting, so the third and fourth eldest shouldn't get away with it.
Otherwise, this war would lose its original objective.
That is to become the strongest in the West Blue and obtain the position of the overlord of the West Blue.
The North Blue once boasted the Germa Kingdom, the king of the entire North Blue. Now it has declined, Germa 66 still holds the Daimyo of the Overlord of the North Blue.
Recently, an empire has emerged in the East Blue Sea, the Weakest Sea in the world. It has even defeated Germa, the Overlord of the North Blue, and become the new Overlord of the East Blue.
No powerful Affiliated Nation have emerged in the South Blue, and the region remains in a state of balance.
As West Blue on par with the North Blue, the West Sea is connected to the New World and has produced many powerful figures. There is no reason why the West Blue cannot produce a hegemon.
Their Flower Kingdom wants to seize the position of overlord of the West Blue.
But those bastards from the Mulberry Kingdom are actually looking for outside help. They have no backbone whatsoever in the West Blue. They deserve to be the second-in-command of the West Blue.
