Sitting aside, enjoying his meal and looking at the Kingdom's envoy who was constantly asking for hundreds of millions of beli's, Wood also had a dazed expression on his face at this moment.
He had never thought that if the "Yonko" pirate group wanted to make money, it would be easier than him, a guy selling arms.
It's just the price of protecting the Big Mom Pirates for one year, but it can be easily fetched such a sky-high price.
Then the protection fees collected by the Big Mom Pirates every year alone are an astronomical figure, aren't they?
But if you think about it, you will realize that this is not a strange thing.
After all, the "Yonko" Pirates are powerful enough to compete with the Navy Headquarters on the sea. Hanging the opponent's flag basically means that no one dares to provoke them.
Those allied countries of the World Government also pay the Celestial Dragons a considerable amount of "Heavenly Gold" every year to seek refuge, but in general, the navy's protective effect on them is not as powerful as the flag of the "Four Emperors".
Since it still costs money, why not choose the higher-security "Four Emperors" for protection? This is why these kingdom envoys flock to this flag.
After the bidding for flag protection rights ended, the islands that had been protected before paid the protection fees, and some of them had their flags withdrawn because they could no longer repay the protection fees.
This has also led to the fact that although Big Mom will provide asylum quotas at every tea party, the number has always been maintained at a certain number.
After the protection fees for the kingdoms and islands in various places are collected, the next step is the emperors in the underground world who have to hand over their share of the money.
Yao is a prominent existence in the underground world, and he has to lower his proud head in front of such a behemoth as the "Four Emperors".
If you want to survive in the underground world and obtain a certain degree of protection, it is essential to respect the money of the four emperors. This is true even for Doflamingo, who is at the height of his power in the underground world.
Of course, there was the only exception present, and that was a certain black-haired man who was second only to Big Mom.
At this moment, other emperors in the underground world have handed over this year's share money to Big Mom. However, the other emperor is obviously one of the giants in the underground world, but now he is completely different and only focusing on the food in front of him.
The so-called rules are made by the strong, and the so-called rules only apply to the weak.
Wood is undoubtedly one of the emperors of the underground world, and he is also the most powerful one. Generally speaking, he also needs to hand over a certain amount of money to Big Mom and Kaido.
But this guy has never been given to him, and the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates have never given him any trouble because of this. This is a symbol of the strong.
The Wood Arms Company is so powerful that it was fine in the past to not give money to the Four Emperors in secret, but now Wood appears in person at Big Mom's tea party. If he doesn't express his views now, then the face of the overlord of the Big Mom Pirates will suffer.
Damaged.
If Wood had not been present before, the underground world bosses and others present would not have dared to comment on the two behemoths, the Big Mom Pirates and the Wood Weapons Company.
But now that the other big guys in the underground world have paid their dues, and Wood is the only one watching there helplessly, what will the other emperors in the underground world think?
"The reason why the underground world can maintain its current order is not only that everyone here has divided their own areas, but also relies on the power of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates to maintain stability.
Therefore, it is completely reasonable and reasonable to give a certain amount of money to these two pirate groups.
But if someone breaks the rules, it will inevitably make other people here feel unfair..."
The person who spoke was Doflamingo. Because the two had a personal grudge in the past, ever since he heard that Wood was coming to attend Big Mom's tea party, Doflamingo had been very excited thinking about meeting him here.
uneasy.
But soon, he thought clearly again. Although he didn't want to see this annoying guy like Wood, his appearance here might not necessarily be a bad thing for him.
That's right, as Wood Weapons Company becomes stronger and stronger, and even gets involved with the Golden Emperor Tezoro, Doflamingo already feels that revenge is far away.
At least at this stage, if the Don Quixote family collides with the Wood Arms Company, they have no chance of winning.
But the Don Quixote family can't deal with Wood, but it doesn't mean that other forces on the sea can't do anything to them either.
So after confirming the sea area of Wood from all countries, Doflamingo released the news that Wood came to Cake Island and planned to join the Big Mom Pirates through the underground world.
That's right, the person who took action earlier than Stussy was the current King Shichibukai Doflamingo.
As for whether Wood really wants to join the Big Mom Pirates, it is no longer important. It is normal for the information to be true or false. The important thing is what Kaido would think if he knew about it.
The same was true at this moment. Doflamingo knew that he could not seek revenge on Wood with his own strength, so he immediately dragged other underground world bosses into the water and took the opportunity to attack him.
After Doflamingo's words, Wood had to stand up and express his stance.
If Wood accepts this and gives a share of the money to the Big Mom Pirates, then the Beast Pirates' share will definitely be indispensable.
And if you give it the first time, if you don't give it the next time, these two Yonko Pirates will naturally not be vegetarians.
And if Wood doesn't give it, then Wood will undoubtedly offend all the underground world bosses present, and even destroy the majesty of Big Mom.
Big Mom is not a fool, she can also realize that Doflamingo is using her as a gunman to avenge his personal grudge with Wood.
However, although she was extremely annoyed at the moment, the situation was already like this. Wood's statement was really related to her face, so she temporarily put down the cake in her hand and looked at Wood who was sitting in the lower position.
"There is a saying that is indeed true, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.
The nickname Joker really suits you, Doflamingo, a guy who only knows how to impress people."
"You have to hand over the profit share to the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates because you are weak and belong to the protected class. Without the protection of the Four Emperors, your business will be easily destroyed by other forces.
Clean it up.
But our Wood Arms Company is different. Even if we cooperate with the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates, we are on an equal footing.
To put it nicely, you are the emperors of the underground world, but in other words, you are just a group of prodigal dogs who cannot survive on the sea and can only dominate in the darkness.
You are afraid of the Navy and the World Government, but am I afraid? The World Government and the Navy even beg me every year, so do you really think that I am on the same level as you?"
Doflamingo originally planned to bring along other emperors of the underground world to put pressure on Wood.
However, he did not expect that Wood's head was really so strong. Not only did he accept the attack directly, he even turned on the group mocking mode and compared all the emperors of the underground world present to bereaved dogs.
"You, Navy Traitor Wood, are indeed a well-known figure in the underground world, but don't be too arrogant!
Perhaps other people here, when it comes to industry in the underground world, no one can compare with your weapons company, but if we join forces, you Wood may not be able to bear it either!"
Everyone here is a well-known person in the underground world, and there are so many guests around. Naturally, some people are not convinced when Wood directly calls him a lost dog.
And the first person to stand up was the big-handed funeral parlor holding a sickle!
As one of the six kings of the underground world, Wood was still a newcomer to the underground world when he came out to hang out.
Although it is often said that Navy Traitor Wood is extremely powerful and even has the title of "Ancient Weapon", he does not believe how strong he can be.
"Oh, are you poking at a sore spot and wanting to take action? But if you are the only one, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
Since they are all lost dogs, let’s all come together, they only know how to bark at the back!”
Obviously, Wood's words were specifically directed at Doflamingo, but it is undeniable that other underground world emperors were also affected.
Shipping King Oummet and Loan Shark King Feld originally had angry expressions, but they wanted to go to the Funeral Home with Big Hand because Wood was too arrogant.
But soon they discovered that the news agency president Morgans and Happy Street Queen Stussy beside them were waiting to watch the show with calm expressions. Even Doflamingo, who was being ridiculed, was just a looker.
Although their faces were ugly, but they didn't choose to take action, the two of them calmed down instantly.
As for the Big Hand Funeral Home, they naturally quickly discovered the attitude of Stussy and others. Although he realized that the situation was wrong, he had already blown away the bullshit before.
After all, I am one of the giants in the underground world. If I sit back now, I will no longer have to hang out in the underground world.
"Come with me! Even if it is an ancient weapon, I am one of the giants in the underground world!"
As one of the giants in the underground world, it is naturally impossible for him to be without Ma Zai, and with a roar from the big hand funeral house, a figure wearing a hood and dressed in pitch black appeared from behind.
"Trash fish are trash fish, no matter how many there are, they are completely meaningless."
Wood stood up and stepped out. The solid blue brick floor was instantly broken into pieces, and spider web-like cracks spread at an extremely fast speed, centered on the sole of his foot.
Before Dashou Funeral Home and several people behind it could touch Wood, they felt a powerful momentum coming towards them.
And in the next second, everyone in Otou Funeral Home who originally rushed towards Wood, except Otou Funeral Home himself, and several of his subordinates who were following him, their eyes turned white and they fell to the ground unconscious.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong..."
As the momentum released by Wood continued to spread, and finally spread to the entire Cake Island, many people on the island were in the same situation as the subordinates of Otou Funeral Home, and all of them were unconscious, and their consciousness disappeared in an instant.
, his eyes turned white and he fell directly to the ground.
"The arrogance of a king..." Looking at the fallen brothers around him, Dashou Burian felt his head was in a trance, and he muttered these words.
And soon, he found that Wood who was in his sight suddenly disappeared. When he reacted again, his sight was filled with a flame slash.
Along with the sound of a long knife being sheathed, Wood's figure appeared behind Dashou Funeral Home without warning.
And while everyone was still stunned as to what had just happened, the huge scythe in the hand of the big-handed funeral home behind Wood suddenly broke into two pieces, and a slash burning with pale flames was struck on his chest.
burst.
Before the blood flowed out from the wound caused by the slash, it had already been evaporated by the high-temperature blue flames, and then the blue flames quickly spread to the whole body of the big hand funeral home until it was completely burned black.
Even in a brief trance, everyone present could vaguely see a very beautiful woman holding a green lantern in her hand, leading the souls of Dashou Funeral Home to the other side.
Otou Funeral Home is responsible for helping people collect corpses in the underground world. The irony is that now that he is dead, others are responsible for ferrying his soul.
However, when everyone present reacted and looked at Wood, who was standing with his knife put away, there was a look of fear on their faces.
One of the six kings of the underground world, Big Hand Funeral Home, actually couldn't even make it through a round in front of the navy traitor Wood.
Although not every one of these emperors in the underground world can be considered a true powerhouse, it has to be said that they must have a certain level, otherwise they would not be able to control the situation at all.
But such a being was killed with an understatement in front of Wood. Moreover, Wood, the navy traitor, actually possesses that unique "overlord domineering spirit"!
Doesn’t this mean that Navy traitor Wood is also a man with the qualifications of a king?
"In the future, the six underground kings will become five kings. How about it? Doflamingo, we haven't seen him for a long time. Do you want to fight him a few times?"
One of the giants of the underground world, Dashou Funeral Home, was killed so easily. The strength that Wood showed made other underground world bosses feel frightened.
Especially the King of Shipping, Umet, and the King of Loan Sharks, Feld, both of them can be said to be very lucky at this moment. If they had just followed Otou to the funeral home, there would probably be two more corpses on the ground now.
As for Wood's provocation against Doflamingo, at this moment, they were completely thinking of watching a show, and it was impossible for them to make a move anyway.
Rather, they are more willing to enjoy the benefits. The cake in the underground world is only so big. If a few more giants die, the benefits they can share in the future will only be greater.
As for Wood's provocation, Doflamingo's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.
Because he discovered that since the battle more than ten years ago, although he has mastered the awakening power of the fruit, Wood's strength seems to have become stronger!
