Doflamingo couldn't help but take a breath and say with a shocked expression, "In the past few years, you have bought the Op-Op Fruit on the black market for 10 billion berries?"
"That's right, it's me," Kahn nodded in acknowledgement.
He's not afraid of Doflamingo thinking about his Op-Op Fruit.
If the weak get the Op-Op Fruit, such as Dies Barreiros, Doflamingo, who knows the ultimate power of the Op-Op Fruit, will definitely be full of excitement and have the idea of robbery.
At this time, if Kahn snatches the Op-Op Fruit from Diez Barrels in advance before Doflamingo, even if Doflamingo didn't dare to get angry afterwards, his heart would be full of grudges.
At that time, after the Donquixote Family became a big force, Doflamingo would not work so hard to help Kahn make money.
That's one of the reasons why Kahn was spreading the acquisition of the Op-Op Fruit on the black market three years in advance.
In this way, even if Doflamingo is very jealous of the Op-Op Fruit, he dares not have any thoughts.
On the contrary, he will have a deeper fear of Kahn and a greater dependence on him.
Because Doflamingo, who has read the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book," knows why the Op-Op Fruit is called the ultimate Devil Fruit.
In addition to the ultimate ageless surgery, the ability of this fruit is also the top existence of Paramecia.
Just like the Op-Op Fruit in terms of wisdom, the Op-Op Fruit is definitely No.1 in medicine.
The Healing Fruit, which is also a medicine, is not even qualified to give the Op-Op Fruit a shoe.
The Healing Fruit restores stumps and broken arms, but it reduces the lifespan of the ability user.
As for Op-Op Fruit users, they only need to expand the surgical field to bring back the severed arm.
If the broken arm disappears, they can find an arm with the same length as their own to connect it, and it will be no different from their own arm.
Anything spliced onto the body by the surgical field will become an 'organ' of one's own body.
This is the power of unreasonable rules in the field of surgery.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
After recovering, Doflamingo slightly sighed, "If it's the Op-Op Fruit, then it's really worth coming to North Blue to make a deal in person."
"This Devil Fruit is related to the next stage of development of the Cross Family," Kahn explained briefly, and then changed the subject and asked, "This year is already Sea Circle Calendar 1509, and you are also 28 years old. Do you still plan to stay in North Blue?"
"Xixixixi... I plan to leave North Blue next year," Doflamingo grinned with an evil smile. "I have a plan. Once it is realized, I will obtain the status of a legal pirate."
"As soon as I get the status of Shichibukai, I will enter the Grand Line and move to the New World with the Donquixote Family."
"...If you need help, you can call me."
As a time traveller, Kahn knows what Doflamingo's plan is even without Observation Haki.
His plan is to rob the Heavenly Gold and then use the Heavenly Gold to blackmail the World Government.
Since Doflamingo is a former Celestial Dragon, the Marine can only catch but not kill him, and since he knows the secret of the national treasure, they have no choice but to accept Doflamingo's conditions.
"Fufufufu... Thank you, Kahn. With your support, I'm sure everything will go smoothly."
Afraid that Kahn would ask about his plan, Doflamingo quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, when will your three Grandine Island Ships open?"
"A mobile entertainment city, this is an unprecedented idea. Don't you plan to build a few more ships and develop the world?"
"Forget it. Three ships are already the limit," Kahn shook his head. "The gold version of the Grandine New World has almost exhausted all my savings. I will consider developing East Blue, South Blue, and North Blue when the funds return."
"Ehhhhhh... I hope."
During the chat, Kahn, led by Doflamingo, came to the residence of the Donquixote Family in this temporary stronghold.
On the way, Doflamingo couldn't help glancing at the treasure chest containing the Op-Op Fruit. Kahn, with his natural Observation of Haki, noticed Doflamingo's interest but wasn't concerned. He knew Doflamingo wouldn't make a move on his Op-Op Fruit.
Just like his previous evaluation, Doflamingo is a very witty and smart guy. He will covet the treasures in the hands of the weak, but for the treasure in the hands of the strong, he absolutely has no idea. Compared to the Op-Op Fruit, Kahn's friendship is more important.
"Germa 66 is a military organization and the name of an army. It is almost a household name in North Blue; everyone knows it," Doflamingo began, leading Kahn into a villa. They entered a study and sat opposite each other. "This army belongs to the Kingdom of Germa, and the ruler is the Vinsmoke family.
"It's different from our Donquixote Family and Cross Family because the Kingdom of Germa is one of over 170 countries to join the World Government, so the Vinsmoke family is also a royal family within it.
"The head of the Vinsmoke family is a man named Vinsmoke Judge, who is a very good scientist.
"In addition, the Kingdom of Germa is unique because it has no fixed territory but can participate in the World Summit. This country is composed of dozens of sailing ships. Usually, they act separately, accepting employment from various forces in North Blue to start or resolve wars.
"When dozens of sailing ships merge together, they become the temporary Kingdom of Germa.
"It will take some time to accurately find Vinsmoke Judge's warship among the dozens of ships operating separately."
Kahn said, "Find him as soon as possible."
"Xixixixi... No problem," Doflamingo nodded, not questioning why Kahn was in such a hurry to find Vinsmoke Judge. Without thinking too much, he knew it must be for the next stage of development of the Cross Family.
