"No need. Dressrosa has been destroyed, and Dover has been captured by the navy. It's almost time for us to reach Impel Down!"
"What!?"
Kaido stood up quickly. He received a call from Doflamingo and headed for Dressrosa. He tried to commit suicide three times on the way but failed. He didn't know where the Den Den Mushi was lost, and the Beasts Pirates had not yet informed him of this.
"You didn't just find out about it, did you?" Duke looked strange. The Dressrosa incident had spread like wildfire in the New World, the first half, and the Four Seas. The news about Luffy and Law's alliance to defeat Doflamingo, the dark side of Dressrosa, and Admiral Fujitora's shocking kneeling had been sold out for three consecutive days. It could be said that, except for the deaf and the stupid, almost everyone in the world knew about it.
"When I committed suicide, the Den Den Mushi was lost!"
Yes, this reason is quite Kaido.
Duke nodded and stopped Kaido who was about to jump into the sea and swim to the Navy Headquarters: "If you are worried about the shortage of artificial devil fruits, you should sit down and talk to me. I will take over Dover's business now."
"Are you going to sell this knife?" Kaido frowned. He was not interested in this, and he didn't think Duke would sell the knife.
The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!
Kaido remained silent. This matter was of great importance and he needed to think carefully before making a decision.
The deck suddenly became quiet. Robin and Perona looked at their captain in surprise. They had never heard Duke mention this before. Kidd and the other three stared with their eyes wide open. They witnessed a meeting that could change the world. They couldn't believe their ears.
"?" Kaido twitched his eyebrows. Isn't this business? "Whitebeard is dead, Red Hair has no ambitions, and among the Four Emperors only Big Mom is your rival. Have you ever thought about killing her?"
"Hanasu is a famous sword that ate the Monmon Fruit. It is not for sale to me. It is the product of the 'ability conversion technology'... You don't know that the 'ability conversion technology' is very simple. It allows non-living things to eat devil fruits and give them all kinds of incredible abilities." Speaking of business, Duke suddenly became interested and began to sell it to Kaido. Recently, the orders from major customers have decreased. It's time to upgrade the arms race! "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush!"
"Yes, although Whitebeard is dead, his pirate group is still there. Ace has done a good job. In a few years, he will become another Whitebeard. By then, the New World will be dominated by four powers again. Instead of waiting until the situation stabilizes, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate another of the Four Emperors." Duke analyzed from Kaido's perspective, which made the other party very interested.
"Don't worry, I'll give you enough time to think about it. Now let's get down to business."
Kaido's pupils shrank when he heard that. He punched Duke fiercely, then retracted his fist in mid-air: "How do you know?"
Kaido's breath was in chaos. He suppressed the shock in his heart and looked directly at Duke: "You bastard, are you going to join forces with me to kill her?"
"World Government..." Kaido read the name and fell silent again. It is not easy to snatch things from the World Government. Even he dare not guarantee it.
Bang! Kaido slammed his fist on the deck and interrupted Duke: "Stop it, don't mention that person's name."
Kaido's mind moved. It was indeed a headache for people with special abilities to be afraid of sea water, but he didn't believe that Duke would be so kind: "Why don't you equip your subordinates with this technology and sell it for money? Wouldn't you be the one who suffers?"
Robin rolled his eyes, already guessing what Duke was going to say.
"Wait, your plan is too simple. I'm not praising the Big Mom Pirates, but this kind of plan alone will not work. The Banko is their foundation. Charlotte Linlin has been running it for a long time. The fleet and troops are extremely powerful, and the three generals are no fools. If your plan can succeed, I would have taken off Charlotte Linlin's head long ago." Kaido said in a firm tone that Duke's plan was doomed to fail.
"For example, if each member of your Beasts Pirates had a weapon with powerful abilities, and the user was not afraid of sea water... can you imagine that scene? Once a war breaks out, especially on the sea, how desperate will the enemy be?" Duke patiently guided Kaido and drew a beautiful blueprint.
As expected, Duke looked mysterious: "I have a special source of information!"
Kaido looked at Duke quietly for three seconds after hearing this: "Did you do what happened to the Joker?"
"What? You can't do anything to your comrade from 40 years ago?" Duke asked provocatively, referring to the fact that Kaido and BIG MOM worked on the same ship.
"We will gather our respective subordinates in Wan Guo, and then you and I will go to Big Mom's tea party, and cooperate with each other..."
"Haha, these days, selling arms also requires keeping up with the times. Only by bringing forth the old and the new can we avoid being eliminated by the times. 'Ability Conversion Technology' is my latest flagship product. Devil Fruit users cannot touch sea water, otherwise they will be like those three unlucky guys. Ordinary people can kill them if they fall into the sea, but it's different if they use weapons that have been ingested with devil fruits."
Kaido took a deep breath and felt that the man in front of him was unfathomable, as if everything was within his calculations.
Duke laughed loudly: "Kaido, I am a businessman, and businessmen value money. Only businessmen who are profit-driven are qualified businessmen, and I am a qualified businessman!"
Duke ignored Kaido's fist and said calmly: "I told you, I have a special source of information. The overlord of the sea before Roger's time, you and Big Mom are two crew members on the same ship. Your captain is really amazing. I remember his name is Ro..."
"Humph!" Kaido smiled coldly. He just listened to what he said. Doflamingo called him and provoked him to go to war with Duke. Doflamingo fell in less than a day. Who would believe that Duke was not involved? With the next owner taking over to ensure that the artificial fruit would not be in short supply, Kaido no longer mentioned saving Doflamingo.
"What is your plan? Rushing directly into Cake Island and taking Charlotte Linlin's head?" Kaido did not ask about the so-called special source of intelligence. He knew that even if he asked about such confidential information, he would not get an answer.
"Don't worry, besides us, there will be two more forces taking action on that day!" Duke smiled calmly and said the names of the two pirate groups.
"Speaking of artificial devil fruits, I have a better product on hand." Duke said as he pulled out Hanasu and demonstrated the ability of the Door-to-Door Fruit, opening a door in the air.
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. You are wrongly accusing me. Dover and I are allies, how could I betray him!" Duke was filled with righteous indignation, and he dared to sue Kaido for defamation if he said anything again.
"You...how did you know?" Kaido held it in for a long time but couldn't help it.
"Oh, there are two more pieces. One is in the hands of the World Government, and the whereabouts of the last piece is unknown." Duke said with a smile. The last piece is in Zou and he has already made a copy of it.
"How long have you been preparing for this?"
"You don't have to worry about the World Government. It won't be long before Marijoa is in chaos and the main text will be brought out." Duke threw out another bombshell, shocking everyone on the ship.
"Haha, let's stop here! Actually, I have limited information about the old accounts from 40 years ago, and this is all I know." Duke said sincerely.
"Hmph, do you think I will believe it?" Kaido spat, spitting all over Kidd beside him.
Kidd: “…”
