Chapter 284 Don Quixote
Chapter 284 Don Quixote
North Sea.
The Don Quixote family residence.
Six years have passed since Don Quixote Homingo brought his family to the underworld many years ago.
Doflamingo, who was just a little kid back then, has now grown into a handsome 14-year-old boy.
"Hey! Hey! Dover, the latest newspaper is out!"
Trebol, carrying two newspapers, knocked on the door of Doflamingo's bedroom.
Inside the room, a woman from a defeated force was screaming incessantly.
After hearing Trebol's call, Doflamingo continued to enjoy himself for another 5 minutes. Finally, with a woman's shrill scream, the room fell completely silent.
Shortly after, Doflamingo, dressed simply in a bathrobe, opened the door.
"Torrepol, call a few people over and clean up the trash in the room."
"There's no rush for this."
With Trebol practically shoving two newspapers into Doflamingo's face, he urged:
"Hey, hey, instead of such trivial matters, take a look at the newspapers these past few days. That war is over!"
Doflamingo showed no displeasure at Trebol's behavior, with two long snotty noses almost touching his face. He simply took the newspaper, went to the balcony of the next living room, and enjoyed sunbathing while carefully examining the contents of the newspaper.
With the development of the times, the World Economic News, which used to only report on major events worldwide, now also has regional special editions.
Take Beihai as an example.
Unless a major event occurs that affects several kingdoms, the original World Economic Daily rarely reports on news about the North Sea.
However, this does not mean that nothing happened in Beihai.
There are no major events affecting multiple kingdoms, but events that only affect a single kingdom or a particular town, yet these happen almost every day.
Therefore, in order to achieve a complete monopoly in the newspaper industry, the World Economic Daily's Beihai Column was launched.
Similarly, the other three seas—east, west, and south—as well as the two halves of the Grand Line, each have their own special columns.
This resulted in Doflamingo, who always longed for the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, needing to read two copies of the newspaper each time he went to read it.
Of course, this is not a complaint.
By reading two newspapers, Doflamingo could obtain more detailed information, and he actually enjoyed the process.
I read through the latest World Economic Daily newspaper carefully.
The above content was almost entirely in line with his expectations. Apart from the major events taking place in Beihai, the other places were relatively calm.
Especially in the New World, there hasn't been any news about that pirate crew for a long time.
However, Doflamingo knew very well that the pirate crew no longer needed to create any big news; its development and strength no longer needed to rely on attracting attention.
After reading the World Economic Daily, there is the Beihai Column, which has more detailed content.
The document details the recent war between Germa 66 and the coalition of North Sea nations.
When he saw the North Sea Alliance fall apart as expected, Doflamingo smiled with pleasure.
"Fufufufufu, a bunch of useless trash is still just a bunch of useless trash. How could they possibly stand against a well-prepared hungry wolf?!"
"Not to mention, Germa 66 is backed by that person. If we really defeat Germa 66, that person might descend upon the North Blue!"
Behind Doflamingo, Trebol directed several men in black suits to pack up and carry away the lifeless body from the room.
Then Trebol walked up to Doflamingo and asked:
"Hey, hey, Dover, what should we do next?"
"It seems like Germa 66 is trying to steal our business!"
In recent years, the Don Quixote family has been engaged in illegal activities in the underworld of North Sea, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and the sale of large quantities of weapons of mass destruction.
Under Doflamingo's leadership and with the assistance of Trebol and other subordinates, the Donquixote Family has become one of the largest underground forces in the North Blue, and is poised to overtake and annex other forces.
Meanwhile, after defeating the North Sea Alliance, Germa 66, led by Judge, also began to try to enter the underground arms market in order to obtain stable funds.
No, to be precise, Judge should be looking to enter the underground mercenary market.
The Germa 64's most formidable asset right now, besides its battle suits that shine on the battlefield, is its clone army, which is known for its fearlessness and incredible resilience.
How to monetize this clone army is a pressing issue that Judge needs to address.
After all, he couldn't possibly attack a kingdom just because he was really short of money.
He might have done that before, but after serving under Kaido for so long, he naturally wouldn't choose to do it anymore.
His experiences with the Beasts Pirates taught him that a head-on approach was not advisable.
Especially Kaido.
If it weren't for the World Government and Navy constantly threatening him, he wouldn't bother making so many big headlines and actively trying to provoke them into fighting him.
His purpose was never simply to fight, but to prove to the World Government and the Navy that he was not to be trifled with and that they should not come to his territory to cause trouble and rack up battle achievements.
Anyone who dares to do that, I'll hang their head up!
War has always been Kaido's means of achieving deterrence, not his sole purpose.
Perhaps in the process, there will be a side idea of using combat to break through and improve one's own strength, but that is only a side effect and not the core strategic goal.
Judge is currently in the North Blue, preparing to do what Kaido did.
With the deterrent effect of Kaido and the Beasts Pirates, the World Government and the Navy dare not easily take action against him.
Meanwhile, in the North Sea countries, he also officially announced his return through a war.
What needs to be done next is no longer to wage endless wars.
It should be development.
Judge's next strategic goal is to continue developing and strengthening himself, to formally establish Germa as a nation in the North Sea, and to gradually encroach upon and expand his territory, without completely escalating the conflict between the North Sea nations or allowing them to truly unite against him.
Therefore, Gaji needs a channel to obtain a stable income.
As luck would have it, the Donquixote Family has gradually become dissatisfied with simply selling weapons in recent years, and Doflamingo also wants to try to get involved in the underground mercenary industry.
On the one hand, being an underground mercenary would allow him to build a complete army, which would benefit his future plans.
On the other hand, he and his subordinates also needed to hone and improve their strength through war.
He spends all his time fighting with those gangster scumbags; with his String-String Fruit ability alone, he's almost earned the title of invincible.
However, having already watched the World Martial Arts Tournament live, Doflamingo knew very well just how big this world was.
He began to feel dissatisfied with the current rate at which his strength was improving.
He wants to become faster and stronger; he wants to achieve the greatest success at a younger age!
Only in this way can he realize his inner ambitions.
Therefore, Judge and Germa 66 at this moment have become rivals between Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family.
After reading the contents of the newspaper, plus some intelligence gathered by the Don Quixote family's own intelligence system.
Doflamingo was not angry.
Wearing purplish-red sunglasses, he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, even with a slight smile on his face.
"Hey, hey, Doflamingo, what do you say? Should we take out Germa 66?"
"Fufufufufu, don't do such a stupid thing, Torrebol, don't tell me you don't know who's behind Germa 66."
Who's behind him?
Doflamingo: "..."
Helplessly, he put one hand to his forehead, his good mood just moments before now slightly tarnished.
In his early years, Torrepol was undoubtedly the strategist of the Don Quixote family.
However, as he grew up, his once barely passable brain became less and less useful.
He took a deep breath, feeling helpless. Doflamingo was always forgiving towards his family.
"Germa 66 is backed by Kaido and the Beasts."
"What did you say! Germa 66 is backed by Kaido and the Beasts Pirates?!"
Torrepol was taken aback, clearly not expecting Germa's background to be so powerful.
"Therefore, there is no need for us to have a direct conflict with Germa 66."
Doflamingo picked up a bottle of red wine from the coffee table on the balcony, flicked out a thin thread to remove the cork, and then took a swig straight from the bottle.
"Anyway, we've only just started out in the mercenary business, so withdrawing now won't result in much loss."
"Moreover, we might as well take this opportunity to cooperate with Germa 66."
"You know, although Germa 66 was once the overlord of the North Sea, now we are the real local bullies!"
Upon hearing this, Trebol finally began to use his increasingly deteriorating brain and figured out Doflamingo's plan and purpose.
"Hehehe, as expected of Dover, he came up with the perfect plan in the blink of an eye!"
"He truly is a man destined to become the king of the world!"
"In this way, it's not impossible for us not only to cooperate with Germa 66, but also to cooperate with the Beasts Pirates behind Germa 66 in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo smiled again.
Although Torrepol's praise sometimes seems quite mindless, well, he's family.
Moreover, becoming the king of the world, or rather, destroying the Celestial Dragons' current rule, is also his own ambition and dream.
"I think it shouldn't be difficult to reach an agreement with all the beasts."
Doflamingo tilted his head back, poured red wine into his mouth, and chugdredged it straight from the bottle while admiring the blue sky above.
He knew that the surname Figaland was only found in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
"Fufufufufu, it seems I'm not the only one with the same ambitions as you!"
