"Cut."

The lack of an experiment dampened Bege's enthusiasm, so he simply tossed the Poison Gas Bomb into the box, prompting Doflamingo to raise an eyebrow.

Behind them, Diamante and the others were terrified that the Poison Gas Bomb would explode.

Grenade, Machine Gun, Poison Gas Bomb —even Doflamingo could no longer remain calm.

My gaze couldn't help but drift to the last two boxes.

Bege then opened the fourth box.

What appeared to Doflamingo was something that resembled clothing.

"This is a combat suit. Wearing it, even an ordinary person can instantly possess the strength of a naval lieutenant commander."

"What!"

This time, Diamante and the others shouted it out directly. Had they misheard?

"If you don't believe me, you can try it on an ordinary person."

Reiju was used to Diamante and the others' astonishment.

"Go!" Doflamingo clenched his fist, his face unable to contain his excitement.

"Yes." Not long after, Diamante brought back a poor man.

A few minutes later, Doflamingo and the others fell silent.

His strength, defense, and speed were really comparable to a naval lieutenant commander; the only thing he lacked was combat experience. Even so, it still left Diamante and the others feeling like it was all a fantasy.

With his chest heaving slightly, Doflamingo steadied himself and looked at the last box.

Upon opening the box, what appeared made Doflamingo and the others frown, for it was a person.

"Clone have no emotions, they only obey commands. You can think of them as a type of robot, like this."

Turn on the switch at the back of his head, and the entire Clone comes to life, his expression numb.

"Kill yourself."

With a smile, Reiju issued a command.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Clone snapped its head at a 60-degree angle, blood gushing from its mouth, and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"This"

Everyone's pupils widened, their breathing quickened, and they all stared greedily at the boxes.

Anyone with half a brain knows how precious the contents of those five boxes are. Possessing them would make becoming a powerful ruler a piece of cake.

"How is it? Can you eat all this?"

Reiju smiled as she looked at Doflamingo.

Doflamingo regained his composure, frowned, and fell silent.

He was certain that if these things were to leak out from his hands, it would attract attention from all sides, and at that point, he alone might not be able to handle the situation.

But how could one give up such a great temptation?

With these, my strength will surely increase dramatically, and even the Four Emperors will have to give me face.

However, opportunities also come with huge risks.

"We've taken over. This is to repay you for making the right choice back then. If you can't handle it, we'll find other top-tier players, or we'll support them ourselves. But this is just an appetizer. If you do a good job as the agent, we might consider letting you continue as the agent for the later stages."

"What's the meaning!"

Doflamingo sensed a threat.

"It's very simple. We've already repaid for the Phoenix Fruit deal with these things. If you can't eat them, that's a problem with your strength, not ours. In other words, whether you can eat them Phoenix Fruit is void."

"Of course, if you can accept it, we can continue to cooperate. If you can't, and you offend us in the future, we will not hesitate to eliminate you. It's that simple!"

Reiju's smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression as she looked indifferently at Doflamingo.

"You mean the Phoenix Fruit is only a one-time collaboration? And can I take that as a threat?"

Veins bulged on his forehead as Doflamingo stared at Reiju with equal chilling intent.

"The first question is whether this is a one-time collaboration. It depends on you. If you do well, we can continue to work together; if you don't, we may abandon you at any time."

Holding up a finger, Reiju continued, "The second question is not a threat, it's a fact. If you abandon this cooperation, then the deal you made with the boss regarding the Phoenix Fruit is null and void."

Furthermore, if you abandon this cooperation and provoke our country in the future, there will only be one outcome: death!

Reiju showed no weakness and was extremely assertive at this moment.

"Do you think I, Doflamingo, am afraid?"

"Whether you're afraid or not is your business, because you'll never know the strength of our country. The only reason we let you act as our agent for these things is because of the Phoenix Fruit favor. Otherwise, we wouldn't even consider you!"

I know you're angry right now, but I'd like to remind you of something.

Looking at Doflamingo's ashen face, Reiju smiled. "These things are just basic. For example, Grenade has a range of ten meters, so it can definitely have a range of fifty meters or one hundred meters; and Machine Gun can fire fifty rounds in ten seconds, so it can fire one hundred rounds in one second."

Oh, and there are also Poison Gas Bomb. As for the combat suits and Clone, they can instantly give an ordinary person the strength of a major. Do you think they can be upgraded further? For example, to lieutenant colonel? Colonel? Or even Rear Admiral?

Anyone who's not a fool knows the value behind these things. Of course, high returns come with high risks, so it all depends on your abilities, Doflamingo. I believe you're a smart man."

Pepe spoke, and Reiju wasn't worried at all that Doflamingo would do anything rash, simply because she had the nation and the boss behind her.

As his anger subsided, Doflamingo's face darkened, and he couldn't help but look at the five boxes, things he couldn't refuse.

"If I take these, will your Congress intervene if necessary in case of trouble?"

"Heh, it seems you're not so confident in yourself after all." Reiju chuckled, then her expression shifted faster than flipping through a book. "Then let's see how much benefit you can bring us. Remember, not just anyone can become our country's agent; you're just lucky!"

"Hmph, you overestimate yourselves!"

Doflamingo scoffed at Reiju's assertiveness, but he had to take advantage of such a large pie, even if it meant overeating. He didn't believe Congress would simply stand by and watch someone else take it, provided there were enough benefits.

"What do you need!"

"Don't overeat. You don't want to suffer when the boss gets angry." Seeing Doflamingo eat all that stuff without hesitation, Reiju couldn't help but look at the guy with new respect.

"I, Doflamingo, have never been afraid of anyone!"

"I hope you'll still be like this then. As for what we want, it's simple: treasure, research materials, Devil Fruit User, Seastone, and so on. I'll give you a list of these things."

Reiju rarely gives away such strange and unusual items; she simply provides a list.

"These things are just follow-up matters; we won't interfere with your business dealings. However, we need everything we want, and we can't do without it. If you agree, we'll cooperate; if you don't, then the deal is void, and we'll be even."
