Perona felt deeply desperate. Fishman Island in the New World was Duke's backyard, and the road back to Moria was long and difficult.
On the way, more than a dozen fishmen who knew Duke's identity burst into tears. Facing their benefactor's swords, they were ashamed and wanted to repay him with their lives. Of course, they did not die, but were rejected by Duke.
Aladdin looked at Duke with tears of gratitude: "Because of our involvement, you are wanted and rewarded. Boss Tiger has regretted it more than once. We have been trying to find you. Boss Tiger will be very happy to see that you are safe and sound."
"Here, please accept our belated greeting!"
The crew members of the Sun Pirates were about to bow again, but Duke quickly stopped them. When they treated Tiger, they simply felt it was a pity that he died. The gratitude of the fish people was enough to repay their kindness.
"Is Tiger also on Fishman Island?" Duke asked.
"No, Boss Tiger is not on the Fishman Island." The fishmen looked at each other, and Aladdin spoke on their behalf, "After parting with you, Boss Tiger felt that the relationship between humans and fishmen should not continue to deteriorate. He hoped to find like-minded humans to join hands, so he left alone."
"As far as I know, Doflamingo has his own arms business and is our competitor. It's even more impossible for Tesoro. He has more money than he can spend. There's no reason for him to cooperate with me!" Robin analyzed, "Besides, both of them are well-connected and have connections. If we cooperate with them, it will be difficult for us to have a real say."

"Who is the captain of the Sun Pirates now? Jinbe?" Duke asked and then suddenly realized, "Yes! Now I remember, Jinbe has joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Duke was full of confidence, but Robin was extremely surprised: "Captain, how do you know what they need? Is this your source of intelligence again?"
"Hey, do you know?" Aladdin exclaimed, then scratched his head embarrassedly: "Forgive me, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's a serious matter, so..."
"Did I say that again? You must have heard it wrong!"
With such a great favor, even if I don't want to repay her with my body, it should be no problem to have sex with her! "Captain, who is Nami?" Robin frowned and asked when she heard Duke mutter a feminine name.
"Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Tesoro, the 'Golden Emperor'!" Duke said shockingly.
"Oh! You still don't know her even if I tell you. I saved her life, that's it!" Duke felt guilty for some reason and quickly changed the subject, "I didn't expect the fish people to take the incident so seriously. Now it's easy. Just ask King Neptune to let us go to the Sea Forest. I don't think he will refuse."
After finishing the main text of the history of the Sea Forest, Duke and the other two were kept in the palace for the night. Duke drank a lot of wine and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Robin curled his lips and called him an idiot.
"Please forgive me!"
"Tsk!" Aaron spat and fell silent.
There were some things that Duke didn't tell Robin because they were too shocking. Only he knew that Luffy would defeat Doflamingo and Tesoro in five years at most, and by then their power would fall apart, and their industries and connections would be eaten up.
"Yes, our current captain is Brother Jinbei. He is the successor designated by Boss Tiger." Aladdin replied.
"Haha, I'm thinking about my partner after leaving Fishman Island." Duke said this and pulled Robin a few steps behind the fishmen.
Robin was stunned, then he said slowly, "Why them? Are they suitable?"
"It's even simpler for Tesoro. Rich people will never think that they have too much money, and this is even more true for Tesoro. His early experiences have made him extremely eager for wealth. He will not be satisfied with just owning 20% of the Pele in the world. He is more eager to increase this ratio to 30%, 40%... or even 100%!"
"What?" Aladdin was confused: "Princess Otohime will die, why do you think so?"
"Oh, that's right! Tesoro and Tiger also have a debt of gratitude. With Tiger as the middleman, he will be easier to convince than Doflamingo."
"That guy is so annoying!"
At the Fishman Island Palace, King Neptune and Queen Otohime held a grand banquet to welcome the great benefactor of Fishman Island. Neptune thought about Duke's request to go to the Sea Forest and nodded in agreement. He knew that even if he disagreed, he couldn't stop Duke, so he simply went with the flow and did a favor.
"My benefactor wants to go to the Sea Forest? We will take care of this small matter. King Neptune and Princess Otohime will agree." Aladdin said.
"Who are they?" Robin asked. They were about to enter a new world and the mystery should be revealed.
A sarcastic voice came from the corner. It was Arlong. There were a few like-minded fishmen around him, and they were obviously dissatisfied with Jinbei being a running dog of the government.
Seeing Aaron like this, Duke probably understood why he didn't go to the East Sea, because Tiger didn't die like in the original book, Jinbei couldn't suppress him, but Tiger could. Although Aaron hated humans as always, he didn't dare to break up with Jinbei because his beloved boss was still alive.
"Revolutionary Army?" Duke recalled what he said to Tiger, who most likely went to the White Earth Island of Baldigo.
"It was my idea for Tiger to go find the Revolutionary Army, but I didn't expect that guy would actually dare to go." Duke suddenly laughed, "Fighting for freedom, what an interesting combination! I wonder what kind of storm they can stir up on the sea. It's really exciting to watch!"
Duke quickly responded: "I read a tabloid some time ago, saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess had passed away. The fabricated newspapers have done a lot of harm to people." There is one more person who can have a shot... No, it seems too big! "Captain, you are very strange today!" Robin was suspicious and always felt that Duke was thinking about something strange.
Duke smiled and said, "Don't do that! Robin, curiosity is fatal to women. What if you fall in love with me?"
Tiger, the hero who liberated slaves, and Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army, both have interesting names. One is a dragon, and the other is a tiger, which seems to imply that the world will be changed by the two of them.
"Why do you say that?"
The biggest reason why Duke sought cooperation with them was to take over their power. As a partner, he failed to save his allies, so taking over their industry could be considered as making up for his mistake.
…
"So you knew everything!" The crew members of the Sun Pirates smiled bitterly at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
"Shut up, Arlong. I've told you so many times that Jinbei is trying to protect Fishman Island. He is a qualified captain... Also, don't make a fool of yourself in front of your benefactor!" Aladdin frowned.
"Of course, I know their weaknesses very well. They will not and dare not refuse me."
"You are right, but you only see the bad side. What about the good side?" Duke chuckled as he looked into the future. "Doflamingo's arms business is not the only one in the New World. He has many competitors. In order to defeat his competitors, he needs more powerful, cheaper, and larger arms. His dream is not simple. To achieve this, he needs to climb up to more forces to realize his ambitions. Becoming an oligarch in the arms industry is his first step."
"I'm pretty sure I heard it right."
It's night!
"Captain, I am increasingly curious about your source of intelligence!"
"Huh!?" Duke was stunned and looked at Aladdin: "You said Princess Otohime...she is not dead?"
"It seems that Nami's adoptive mother will not die... In this case, I have become her great benefactor!" Duke suddenly remembered that because he saved Tiger, Aaron did not go to the East China Sea. Nami's mother could live a long life and she could have a happy childhood.
"Doflamingo has connections, Tesoro has money, and I have skills! Everyone can make money, why would they reject me?"
In the chaotic void, darkness is the eternal theme. Light is dazzling because of darkness, and more darkness is born because of light.
Yin and Yang blend together, pure darkness is not despair, it is just a color waiting to be given meaning. No matter how you look at it, darkness is always unique.
In the unknown space, two new people came to report today...
