Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Sparring and Enemies
For the residents of the Beast Island, this was the best description.
Although almost everyone carried guns and knives, and could become a "small boss" in any part of the world, in the New World, they could only pray that the newly established rulers wouldn't be too cruel.
For ordinary people, whether their leaders were called "kings," "presidents," or "mayors" didn't matter. All they wanted was for their lives to continue.
What country, what ethnicity...
Most people didn't care.
"The operation of this island won't change significantly in the short term."
On the grandstand of the Colosseum, casually leaning back in his ornate stone chair, Doflamingo, who had been watching the battles in the arena below, glanced at the several men in front of him with an air of dominance. His gaze mixed with domineering pressure made these administrative personnel feel as if they had been licked by a feRosinanteous beast, and cold sweat streamed down their bodies, almost bending them ninety degrees.
"Do your own tasks, and go down."
"Yes..."
Several administrative staff members nodded as if pounding garlic and retreated. This man in front of them was too terrifying. Just standing in front of him felt as terrifying as facing a bottomless abyss.
"Toribpol, how's the accounting of the books?"
After these administrative staff members withdrew, Doflamingo casually tilted his head to the side, his gaze always focused on the arena below.
"Hehehe, it's worthy of being the industry of a 'Warlord of the Sea.' This island has assets worth tens of billions of Berries. Unfortunately, most of it is fixed assets, and at most, we can withdraw 1.2 billion in liquid funds."
If they just grabbed and left, they could only get this 1.2 billion Berries.
But if they occupied and managed the island well, they would receive an annual income of 300-400 million Berries.
The choice depended on Doflamingo.
"If we occupy it, on one hand, we lack trustworthy managers; on the other hand, we'll have to face the retaliation of the island's owner, 'Warlord of the Sea' Gaimon."
The members of the Donquixote family surrounded Doflamingo, and most of them were watching the battles in the arena below, except for Toribpol, Jora, and Banisharna, who were each working on their respective piles of account books.
"Doflamingo..."
"Warlord of the Sea: Gaimon!"
Doflamingo supported his forehead with one hand and chuckled.
"One day, he will regret provoking our Donquixote family!"
And that day would not be too far off.
Although Doflamingo didn't know why the other party suddenly decided to target the Donquixote family, which had just entered the Grand Line, he didn't have time to think about the reasons right now. The problem that needed to be solved right now was how to eliminate the other party.
Boom!
At the same time, there was a violent tremor from the arena below. Amidst the rising dust and smoke, two figures that had been sparring stopped and walked back in the direction of the grandstand.
"You're very strong; with my current strength, it's still hard to break through your defense."
"Hehehe, I can't catch up to your speed either."
"That last strike, if I..."
"Yes, you should have done it like that..."
Emerging from the dust while talking, the two figures were Rosinante Sand and the Minotaur warrior Rody.
Last night, due to the orders of the "Pet-Pet Fruit" user, a battle had taken place between the Minotaur, Mink Tribe, and the Donquixote family.
Rosinante had faced off against Mink Tribe's Luffy, Little Luffy, and since the two sides had now made peace, Rosinante, with his temperament, naturally wanted to spar with the Minotaur.
"Rosinante, you're so young; you'll definitely become a remarkable figure in the future!"
This wasn't flattery from the Minotaur warrior. After learning Rosinante's age, any reluctance he had left completely disappeared. If they were of the same age, Rosinante would easily beat him to a pulp.
"Fighting with strong opponents really brings great benefits..."
Rosinante clenched his fist and, having trained in Busoshoku Haki under Monkey D. Dragon for a year, only Rosinante, Doflamingo, and Vergo had achieved the ability to coat their bodies in Busoshoku Haki.
After last night's battle, both Rosinante and Doflamingo had briefly used "Armament Hardening."
It was also known as "Black and Hard"!
Although this technique seemed somewhat common in the New World, being able to coat one's body with Busoshoku Haki was a sign of being a billionaire pirate!
Coupled with their Devil Fruit abilities and combat skills, if they raised the Jolly Roger, they would immediately become "Great Pirates."
"Maybe I can even earn titles like 'Most Wicked Rookie' or 'The FeRosinanteous Dragon of the North Blue.'"
"Thank you once again for your rescue,"
Compared to the fight he had with Rosinante earlier, the Minotaur warrior, who had become much friendlier after the battle, also sitting in the audience seats, rose and bowed to Rosinante, expressing gratitude with a touch of distance.
Unlike the straightforward Minotaur warrior Rody, Little Luffy had spent half of her time in human society, so she knew very well what made humans the rulers of this world.
Bravery, fearlessness, passion, cunning, craftiness, greed... It was the mixture of these emotions that forged humans into the strongest beings in the world.
In contrast, most of the Mink Tribe members appeared simple-minded... or easily deceived.
"We are not enemies, Little Luffy."
Rosinante naturally noticed the girl's wariness and sat down next to her.
"As for your Mink Tribe, I also know a thing or two."
"What's the price then?"
"Cough cough, if you insist on a price: the friendship of the Mink Tribe, how about that?"
Rosinante was well aware that the Mink Tribe was a very trustworthy race. In the "Future" timeline, due to the poisoning that had caused great suffering to their entire tribe, they had refused to betray their comrades even under the threat of annihilation. Their strong sense of loyalty was evident.
Moreover, they were powerful. Everyone in their tribe was a warrior, and those who mastered the "Electro" technique were formidable fighters even on the open sea. Once they transformed into their "Sulong" form, their strength was even more remarkable.
They were equivalent to the elite members of top-tier pirate crews!
Just like the Mink Tribe girl, Little Luffy, and the Minotaur warrior, Rody, in the arena below.
If they could become allies of the Donquixote family, it would be perfect!
"Sorry, but I'm just an ordinary warrior."
The Mink Tribe girl shook her head.
"If you can help us send our tribe's children back to the New World, then your family's business will be my business in the future!"
"No problem."
Rosinante nodded.
The girl's intention was clear: she didn't represent the Mink Tribe, only herself.
Since the Donquixote family was definitely heading to the New World, it was no problem to send a group of children along the way. Plus, they could "freeload" two powerful fighters!
···
Beyond several islands along this route was a massive island, almost like a small "continent."
Carnival Island,
This was an island where "festivals" were held every day of the year,
Close to the coast, the city, consisting of a series of colorful buildings, was the heart of the island: Rio de Janeiro!
Buildings of various heights and styles were painted in bright striped colors, colorful flags fluttered on the streets, fireworks exploded in the azure sky, and color was everywhere, making it easy for people to get lost in the vibrant atmosphere.
There were knife-throwing clowns, magic tricks, bards playing three-stringed instruments, and a wide variety of restaurants, clothing stores, luxury boutiques, and more, all in a dazzling array, leaving people mesmerized.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the cries of vendors were incessant~~
In terms of prosperity, it was no less than the 40 to 49 Archipelago in Sabaody!
Moreover, unlike the other parts of the Sabaody Archipelago that were infested with pirates, slave traders, and arms dealers, on this island, you could confidently walk around with both hands empty and take out your wallet to pay in front of everyone.
—Without worrying about being shot dead or having your wallet picked by a "Golden Finger."
Because the owner of this island was one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea":
Gaimon!
On top of the largest castle in the center of the city, colorful and magnificent Jolly Roger flags fluttered, representing his symbol!
"The entire world knows that the so-called 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' are seven extremely powerful pirates who have accepted the World Government's 'pardon.' In exchange for receiving privateering permits, they also enjoy the protection of the Marines."
It can be said that any one of the 'Seven Warlords' is a formidable figure who straddles both sides of the law!
————
"So, who gave you the courage to cause trouble here?"
At the dock,
A group of pirates lay sprawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Standing at the center of these unconscious pirates was a young man with blond hair and silver eyes.
And the captain of these pirates, the "Sorcerer" Anic, a man dressed like a schoolteacher, looked at his unconscious subordinates with an unpleasant expression.
"Conqueror's Haki?"
"I never thought that even under the command of a Seven Warlord, there would be such a formidable opponent, but—"
With a wave of the hand by the man known as the "Sorcerer," huge books appeared out of thin air and enveloped the young man with blond hair and silver eyes from all directions.
"Book World!"
"Desu hehehe, get lost in my world!"
As long as these books approached, no matter what living beings they were, they would be immediately absorbed into the books.
This was the ability of the "Sorcerer" Anic, and the Devil Fruit he had consumed was the "Book-Book Fruit." With the help of this eerie Devil Fruit ability, he had easily killed his way from the East Blue to the New World, even daring to challenge a Seven Warlord—
Grab,
"This sea area is known as the 'Paradise,'"
The five fingers, clad in white gloves, gripped the "Sorcerer's" throat. It wasn't until a voice came from beside him that Anic realized he had been subdued.
When did—
"Because compared to the brutality of the New World, the first half of the Grand Line is like a 'paradise.'"
Silently evading the creature created by his opponent's ability, the young man with blond hair and silver eyes raised the "Sorcerer" in his hand and calmly pronounced his death sentence.
"So, there are often insects that can't see the form clearly, trying to challenge the feRosinanteous beasts."
Crack!
With a slight application of force, the neck of the "Sorcerer," with a bounty of 75 million, bent at a horrifying angle.
He threw the corpse on the ground, treating it like squashing a bug, and took off the white gloves, throwing them onto the face of the gaping corpse.
After touching such an idiot, these gloves were no longer wanted.
"Brubrubru, bru~~"
At that moment, a Den Den Mushi's voice came from his arms.
"It's me, Riccardo."
The young man with blond hair and silver eyes took out the phone receiver on the Den Den Mushi to identify himself, and the phone snail wriggled, transforming into a green mask with a long tongue extending out as it spoke.
"It's me."
"Lord Gaimon!"
The familiar voice made the young man named 'Riccardo' immediately straighten his posture. Even though he was only facing a Den Den Mushi, he showed great respect as if the boss himself were right in front of him.
"What are your orders, my lord. I will do my utmost."
"Breed is dead."
