As a large island ruled by the Don Quixote family, the uncrowned king of the North Sea, Kerman Island is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Pirates, pirate hunters, merchants and even some degenerate navies all have their own industries here, and the economy is extremely prosperous.
On the top of the mountains on the north side of Kerman Island, there is a group of extremely prosperous and beautifully decorated villas. This is one of the residences of the Don Quixote family.
In a certain villa, accompanied by the singing of warblers and swallows mixed with the sound of gurgling water, a unique and fragrant banquet was being held.
Gu~
The blond young man sitting on the luxurious sofa by the pool took a big gulp of a bottle of wine. Judging from his performance, it seemed that he didn't care at all about this bottle of famous wine that sold for at least one million Baileys in the outside world!
"Dover, something happened."
Just when the young man threw away the bottle and was about to jump into the swimming pool to relax, a middle-aged man with a rather wretched appearance, whose whole body was covered in mucus, suddenly approached Doflamingo.
Doflamingo frowned. He looked at the family cadre Torrebol who appeared next to him. Then he raised his fingers slightly, and those who were enjoying the banquet left the villa with frightened faces. Looking at their stiff faces,
The movements are obviously not controlled by their own bodies.
"What happened, Torrebol."
Doflamingo retreated slightly and lay down on the sofa, which put him a little further away from Torrebol.
However, Torrebol came closer in the next second, "There is news from our internal staff at the Navy Headquarters that Lieutenant General He, the chief staff officer of the headquarters, seems to attach great importance to the development of our family. She has personally led a team to Beihai
Deal with us."
"Hmm? Staff Officer He?"
Doflamingo frowned. He naturally knew the name of the chief staff officer of the headquarters. That was not a pressure that ordinary people could bear.
"Pass the order, move the family's activities underground as much as possible to avoid being caught by the big staff officer."
After thinking for a while, Doflamingo gave an instruction to Torebol beside him, and then glanced at the splendid villa with some regret.
"It's time for us to set off."
Although Kerman Island is prosperous, it is not suitable to be a battlefield between them and the navy.
Moreover, facing the naval chief staff officer who was famous all over the sea, Doflamingo had no confidence that he could keep him in the North Sea.
Although it was impossible for Counselor Crane to kill Doflamingo due to identity issues, Doflamingo still decided to avoid Counselor Crane in order to preserve his family fortune.
Anyway, the chief staff officer of the headquarters cannot always focus on him. Once He leaves, he will still be the king of Beihai.
"I said, I said, Dover, are we just giving up our territory?"
Torebol's eyes widened, and he touched the sofa under Doflamingo with some reluctance. This was the territory they had worked so hard to gain.
With the complicated situation of Kerman Island, as soon as they leave, the territory will definitely be divided up by other forces. Although they can take it back in the future, this psychological gap is still unavoidable.
"Hey, don't pay too much attention to these external things. As long as we are still here, these things will be as much as you want. Moreover, the mere North Sea cannot restrain us. When the time is right, we will directly enter the new world!"
As a genius who has witnessed the grand scene of the Pirate King's execution, Doflamingo has never set his sights on the world. The reason why he has been living in the North Sea is just to accumulate strength.
When the time is right, he will lead his family to the Great Line, and then directly to the New World!
There, there is a piece of land that should belong to him, waiting for him to rule.
Compared to the genius pirates of the same period, Doflamingo's temperament is much more stable.
He knows what he needs and what he needs to do.
Listening to the wonderful future described by Doflamingo, Torebol could not help but tremble with excitement. Then he seemed to remember something, took out a newspaper from his pocket and handed it to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo glanced at it, it was the news that reported the capture of the golden lion.
"What's the problem, Torrebol?"
Torepol nodded, sniffed, and then pointed to William's close-up photo very solemnly, "Someone sent word back that this time Staff He brought Colonel Reinhard to Beihai.
, seems to want to make him gold-plated?”
So far, there are almost no people in the sea who believe that William personally caught the golden lion. Even the calm-minded Doflamingo sneered at the news reports.
Doflamingo took the newspaper from Torrebol's hand and looked at the boy with short blond hair like himself. The corners of his mouth could not help but reveal an evil angle.
"Hey, are you using us as a stepping stone? The golden lion is not enough, you also need my head."
Disdainful ridicule echoed in the empty villa, a series of white lights flashed, and the newspaper recording William's achievements was torn into pieces.
Doflamingo raised his head slightly, his eyes under his sunglasses were full of wildness and violence, and his arrogant and overbearing aura swept across the entire Kerman Island. Countless people with unstable minds fainted and were panicked for a moment.
The emotion spread immediately.
"Torebol, pass on the order. If you encounter the Great Staff Crane, you can give up resistance and choose to escape. Even if you are caught, it doesn't matter. I have a way to rescue them!"
Doflamingo patted Torebol on the shoulder, and then walked towards the depths of the villa as if he didn't recognize his relatives. He had a "date" with the daughter of Lord Kerman.
"Hey hey hey, got it, Dover."
Torebol bowed and nodded, and then left the villa with a mean laugh.
Invisible threads moved the door of the villa, and the last ray of light was driven out of the villa.
······
On January 1, 1509 in the Hainan calendar, a little over half a year had passed since William joined the navy, and he also celebrated his sixteenth birthday.
On a large warship with a plain appearance, William blew out the candles on the special cake under the coaxing of Dasqi and Kuina while watching the Neptune-type meal carefully prepared by the head chef.
boom!
Gorgeous fireworks fell from the sky, staining the restaurant floor.
Bato, who was holding a salute, was as happy as if it was his own birthday. He jumped up and down excitedly and kept wishing William a happy birthday.
"I never thought that my sixteenth birthday would be spent on the sea."
After enjoying a sumptuous meal, William came to the deck to eat. He looked at the calm sea like a silver plate under the moonlight and couldn't help but sigh.
He spent his last birthday with his parents. Looking back, although the home was not big, it was very warm.
It's a pity that things and people have changed and time has passed. Although birthdays are much more lively than before, they lack that warmth.
