Bang.
Doffy kicked the coffee table across the room, and the fury on his face eased a little.
"Whew... You're back, Werther. Those Vinsmoke bastards are getting way too arrogant."
Doffy looked calmer, but the veins on his forehead still stood out.
"Tell me what happened."
At Werther's words, Doffy flared up again.
"One of our weapon shipments was seized for no reason. The Vinsmoke Family did it."
"Vinsmoke?" Werther murmured, thinking it over. Wasn't that Sanji's family?
"Why would they come after us? Weren't they operating in the North Blue? Have they come to the New World now?"
As he spoke, Werther found a chair and sat down.
"A few months ago, the Vinsmoke Family moved to the New World. They've apparently been in frequent contact with Big Mom's Pirate crew. The two sides must be looking to strike some kind of deal. The Vinsmoke Family's fleet is near Big Mom's territory right now."
After hearing Doffy's account, Werther understood.
It was simple enough. One of their weapons factories had stockpiled a large quantity of weapons, then begun shipping them to Dressrosa.
Dressrosa was the transfer point. Every nation or Pirate crew looking to buy weapons came to its Underground Harbor.
During the voyage, the Vinsmoke Family intercepted the ships and took the weapons.
Doffy had flown into a rage when the news reached him. That was the scene Werther had walked in on.
The Vinsmoke Family had stolen their weapons, and Werther would have received a share of the proceeds if they had been sold.
The more Werther thought about it, the stranger it seemed. If anyone else had seized the shipment, he would not have been surprised.
But the Vinsmoke Family was different. Their technology was highly advanced.
Vinsmoke Judge was the head of the Vinsmoke Family
