Wait...

Speaking of Gold, how had he forgotten that guy in the sky?

In terms of attack power alone, that guy was definitely Admiral-level. What he lacked was his own defense and Armament Haki. As long as he worked on those two areas...

There were fewer than five people in the world who could defeat him.

Tsk, tsk!

Moke smiled.

On Sky Island, Enel suddenly shivered for no reason.

A puzzled expression appeared on his face. Ever since he had eaten the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he had never once shivered.

Doflamingo froze for a moment after hearing Moke's words, then revealed a shocked expression.

Buy his Dressrosa Kingdom?

What a boastful claim.

Did he know how many Beli Dressrosa Kingdom earned in a single day?

"Fufufufufu... Are young people these days all this arrogant?"

At that moment, Moke abruptly changed the subject. "I'm serious... Ordinary Zoan and Paramecia fruits are two hundred million each. As for special ones... Ancient Zoans, Mythical Zoans, and Logias, we can discuss the price separately."

After saying that, he added, "If you're worried, you can decide the location of the transaction."

The moment those words came out, Doflamingo's expression turned serious. "Kid, are you serious?"

Moke said, "Of course..."

Doflamingo fell silent. After a long while, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his clothes and tossed it to Moke. "Once you have the Devil Fruits ready, I'll notify you."

Afterward, he gave Moke a deep look and added, "I hope you're not joking. Otherwise, I'll make you regret ever being born."

The moment he finished speaking, he turned and left.

After Doflamingo left, Jesus Burgess asked in confusion, "Captain, are you really going to buy Devil Fruits from him?"

Baboon King Burns said, "Why do I feel like something's off? Isn't that guy planning to rob us?"

Moke smiled at that. "I don't know, but... I'd like to rob him first."

"Uh???"

Baboon King Burns and Jesus Burgess exchanged glances. Fine! They had worried for nothing!

No, wait!

Maybe he had expected that already. When the time came, it was hard to say who would outscheme whom!

Baboon King Burns immediately caught on and was about to speak, but Moke seemed to have seen through his thoughts. "Even if he tries something dishonest, before absolute strength, all he can do is suffer."

Meanwhile, another person had appeared beside Doflamingo. It was Gladius.

"Young Master... Are we really going to sell Devil Fruits to them?"

"Fufufufufu..."

He let out his trademark laugh. "How could we possibly give Devil Fruits to people destined to become our enemies? When the transaction happens, we'll make a fortune off them... then wipe them out. Killing two birds with one stone..."

Gladius was stunned at first, then hesitantly said, "Young Master, if it's just the Donquixote Family, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to wipe out Moke's group..."

Though he hated to admit it, he could not deny Moke's group's strength.

They truly were formidable.

Doflamingo's face stiffened at that. But he immediately started laughing again. "Fufufufufu... Among the goods for this transaction with Kaido, there aren't just Artificial Devil Fruits. There are also several Zoan Devil Fruits, including a Mythical Zoan. So, he'll come in person this time. When that happens... we'll borrow his hand."

Gladius was instantly overjoyed.

Good!

Wonderful!

Kaido was a monster known as the world's strongest creature, as well as one of the Four Emperors of the New World—an absolute overlord.

Moke's group was strong, but compared with Kaido's Beast Pirates, they were far too inferior... He could practically see Moke's group being destroyed.

"Hahaha..."

He could not help laughing along with Doflamingo.

As expected, Young Master was the clever one!

Gladius asked, "Then, Young Master, where should we arrange to meet him?"

Doflamingo said, "Why arrange anything? Isn't he looking for M. Caesar Clown? Give him the information, and he'll come to us himself."

Gladius instantly understood. They were going to pass off the place of their transaction with Kaido as M. Caesar Clown's location and hand it to Moke.

When the time came, they would not even need to say anything.

If the transaction was interrupted, with Kaido's terrible temper, he would wipe out Moke's group in minutes.

"Buru buru..."

The Den Den Mushi in Moke's arms started ringing.

"Mr. 0, this is Miss All Sunday. I've already brought our people to the Florian Triangle. Everything has been done according to your instructions."

Moke nodded in satisfaction. "Besides relocating the intelligence organization's headquarters, you need to recruit some capable people into Baroque Works. Only then can your intelligence network expand into the New World."

Robin said, "Yes..."

Then Robin seemed to think of something and immediately added, "Mr. 0, M. Caesar Clown seems to have noticed something. He's disappeared... Of course, someone may have helped conceal his whereabouts."

Moke said, "I already know. It was probably Doflamingo. He knew someone was investigating M. Caesar Clown's whereabouts, so he stepped in..."

Robin looked stunned. "Doflamingo?"

If she remembered correctly, he was another Shichibukai!

Uh...

Moke had become famous because he killed Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai. Before that, there had been Gecko Moria, and now he was up against Doflamingo too.

If Doflamingo was taken out as well...

Half the Shichibukai would have died by his hand... A Shichibukai killer?

At that thought, Robin's mouth twitched.

Moke had just hung up on Robin when the Den Den Mushi immediately started ringing again.

"Captain, this is Ata. We've already arrived at Champion Island. Have you arrived?"

Moke smiled. "I have!"

As he spoke, he looked at Baboon King Burns and Jesus Burgess. "And I found two very good companions."

"Two?"

Ata looked surprised. "Besides Jesus Burgess, who else is there?"

Jesus Burgess, standing nearby, looked equally surprised. "Captain, you really came for me?"

Moke patted his shoulder. "That just means your reputation precedes you! Hahaha..."

Then he said to Ata, "We're at the island's fighting arena. Come over."

After speaking, Moke seemed to remember something and immediately turned to Baboon King Burns. "Right, where did you arrange that bet? Is it far from here?"

Baboon King Burns said, "Gold City."

"What?"

Moke looked astonished. "The Gold City with the world's largest entertainment complex?"

Baboon King Burns nodded. "That's right. Blind Swordsman Issho and I arranged to meet there."

Moke froze completely. It took him quite a while to recover. Slowly, he turned his head. "Who did you just say you arranged that bet with?"
