Chapter two hundred and fifty-two, the aggrieved flamingo (3500 words chapter)
Doflamingo has always had a problem that he couldn't figure out.
Although the Blood Curse Weapon cannot change the pattern among the world's top combat forces, as a weapon that can be mass-produced, its dominance in mid- to low-end battles is unquestionable.
Coupled with the crushing and sweeping effects of the Blood Curse Weapons when faced with gluttony-infected bodies, it can be said that as long as there is no strong external intervention, the government army will be invincible most of the time.
Then here comes the problem.
With such a useful weapon, why doesn’t Lovett use it himself?
Unlike the Titan Weapon, which is specially built for the Giants, the Blood Curse Weapon only needs hands...or even no hands, so don't be picky.
The government controlled the circulation of Blood Curse Weapons, but it did not regulate or prevent Lovett from making them himself and giving them to his subordinates for use.
In the past, it could be explained by his weak strength and unstable foundation. If he was exposed as the creator, he would be in big trouble.
But what about now?
As the most trouble-making Shichibukai in the past two years, the Black Earl's reputation has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, during Doflamingo's investigation, he still found no trace of the blood cursed weapon.
This shows that there must be some reason for him to give up the huge advantage created by Gluttony and let go of the Blood Curse Weapon.
So he investigated, and he discovered the suspicion!
Although it was not the result he wanted, leaving such a huge security risk without mentioning it, the label of "sinister intentions" was firmly established.
If he knew what was the source of support for Doflamingo's diligent investigation, Lovett's expression at this moment must be like this.
(′-_-)
I see!
It was not necessary at first because doing so would expose him as a producer. Just look at Sand Crocodile and Big Mom and you will know that once exposed, his troubles will only increase.
As for why it was not used later, the reason is actually very simple...
He forgot.
I really forgot.
The birth of the Blood Curse Weapon happened by chance. He needed something to connect with the government, get rid of the endless pursuit of the navy, and lay out the soul network. It was just a side task.
After becoming the Shichibukai, the former role became the link to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties, and the focus naturally shifted to its other role, laying out the soul network.
So, he forgot about it.
It's not that he forgot that there is such a thing as the Blood Curse Weapon, but that with his current strength and status, he is still as "honest and honest" as before and is afraid of getting into trouble. In the eyes of the Five Old Stars, this is abnormal.
Lift.
The big thing in his eyes is the Soul Web.
But the Five Old Stars don’t know, and Tianyaksha doesn’t know.
So his behavior seemed very abnormal.
The more suspicious a person is, the less likely they are to accept a subordinate who never makes mistakes.
Feeling the killing intent and threats coming from all sides, Lovett looked serious and lowered his head without saying a word.
Seeing this, Doflamingo smiled.
"Hey, I advise you to be more honest, Earl Black... The Holy Land is not as simple as it seems, and it will not do you any good to take action."
"The Blood Curse Weapon alone is enough to put you on the line with the government. No wonder you will continue to cooperate with me to create gluttony. Is this the purpose?"
Doflamingo said with an evil smile on his face.
"It's not me you're afraid of, but the government itself!"
"Once the government turns against you one day, as long as you control some gluttonous infected people at will, you can easily form an army armed with blood curse weapons. At that time, the government will have no numerical advantage and can only watch.
Let you grow bigger."
"What a good calculation!"
Speaking of this, Doflamingo couldn't help but feel scared.
He knew exactly how much Gluttony had sold over the past year. When those ambitious people saw such useful biological and chemical weapons, no matter how poor they were, they would tighten their belts and buy a batch to arm their henchmen.
But little did he know that everything was a conspiracy of the man in front of him.
They are like a group of fat pigs happily fattening up in a pen, and they don't know when they are about to die.
The World Government was also calculated by him and he used his own hands to complete the layout.
But now, this conspiracy has been exposed!
Exposed by him, Tianyaksha!
Looking at Lovett, who had a deep look in his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, Doflamingo felt secretly happy.
After being defeated so many times, he finally succeeded in winning back a victory!
After a long silence, Lovett smiled under Doflamingo's cold eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect to be discovered by you."
See, there is really no excuse!
He sneered and was about to speak, but found that Wulaoxing's expression suddenly relaxed after hearing Lovett's admission.
The bearded Five Old Star waved his hand, and the killing intent that was everywhere suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Doflamingo: "..."
what's the situation?!
He admitted it. Hey, take him down quickly!
Just now, I looked like I was facing a formidable enemy. Why is the atmosphere more relaxed now?!
"However, what you want is just the lethality of the blood cursed weapon anyway. Is there any point in discussing this?"
Lovett asked.
"Why doesn't it make sense?!"
Doflamingo looked ugly, but as soon as he said the words, he immediately felt a cold gaze sweeping towards him.
Seeing this, he clenched his teeth.
"Five old stars!!"
"It really doesn't make any sense."
The five old stars in burgundy suits nodded silently and said.
"We are not of the same mind. It is normal for you to be wary of us. Otherwise, we would have to think about whether you have any deeper intentions."
"Hmph, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. You are indeed very measured, Earl Black!"
The swordsman Wu Laoxing smiled ferociously and looked at the others.
"Then go back and get ready!"
"Big Mom can't stay calm for long, don't add fuel to the fire."
"Well, of course, no problem!"
Hearing this, Lovett looked relaxed.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"It didn't happen before, but it does now."
The five old stars with long beards silently glanced at the gloomy Doflamingo and said: "The conflicts between you are your business, but cooperation with you is related to the government's plans. Don't make it difficult for us."
"Tsk, Tianlong people!"
Smacking his lips speechlessly, Lovett smiled and said: "Well, since all the adults have said so, of course I have no objection."
“So best.”
After that, the bearded five-old star sat back in his seat and spoke softly.
"Xiao, take them away."
Squeak!
The heavy door was pushed open, and Xiao Xiao bowed and said: "Understood!"
Doflamingo didn't speak after that cold gaze. He didn't stop until he left the government headquarters and walked on the streets of the Holy Land. In the owl's defensive posture, he suddenly held down someone who was much taller than him.
Less Lovett's shoulders.
"Why?"
He asked in a serious tone.
Lovett turned his head.
"what why?"
"Why didn't they attack you?"
After doing such a heinous thing, why is he safe?!
Doflamingo's eyes were red and his face was full of reluctance.
"hehe!"
In response, Lovett shook his hand vigorously.
"Don't just take things at face value, naive Doflamingo."
Seeing that Xiao didn't stop him, he straightened his clothes, turned around and looked at him calmly: "You may be a disaster that everyone fears, a powerful and evil king, Shichibu Kaiten Yaksha... But you have the noble status of being born as a Celestial Dragon.
You will never learn a thing."
"What's up?!"
Doflamingo gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly.
"compromise!"
"It's not about giving in and giving in, it's about political compromise!"
Without being arrogant, Lovett simply shook his head speechlessly: "No matter how downcast you are, as long as you are a Celestial Dragon, there will always be people following you...so you will not understand what a ruler needs."
"You should have heard that the Five Old Stars intend to take this opportunity to attack the Big Mom Pirates, and my one-year agreement with her is about to expire, and there will be a battle then."
"So they want something! Something that only I can give them!"
I know it will be very embarrassing.
But Doflamingo still asked: "What?"
"leading position!"
It was Xiao who answered him.
Seeing that the topic was open, Xiao Xiao didn't mind letting Doflamingo know this, after all, he couldn't hide the news later.
"This is a good time to wipe out the Big Mom Pirates, but if the Black Earl does it, it is not only extremely risky and easy to miss the opportunity, but it has completely different meanings than if the Navy does it."
"So we have to stop him from starting a war with Big Mom and leave the problem to us to deal with."
After saying that, he looked at Lovett, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
【Should I be happy to hear you surrender?
That depends on...what do you think.]
As early as that day, both sides had expressed their stance.
But directly asking Lovett to withdraw would be a slap in the face. Given his temper, the other party would definitely not agree. The Five Old Stars were not stupid enough to really think that the other party would listen to them if they were Shichibukai.
Lovett knows "property" very well!
So what he meant by saying this to Xiao was very simple: he wanted benefits.
If you are interested in big mom, then take advantage of it, otherwise I won’t be able to control the unicorn arm!
However, Wulaoxing is obviously unwilling to continue to give him privileges.
The dual identity of the Shichibukai mafia giant is already shocking enough, and if it continues, it will really lead to trouble.
But this matter cannot be stopped.
So they urgently need the Black Earl's handle and use an excuse to force him to admit defeat.
It just so happens that I came to the pillow when I was dozing off. What a coincidence, isn't it?
At this time, Doflamingo came to reveal the true face of the Black Earl.
"impossible!!"
"It's because of this bullshit reason!"
When he thought that the handle he had worked so hard to find could not be used against the other party, Doflamingo's neck veins bulged and his face flushed: "The navy needs a war to divert the spy scandal. The revolutionary army has been fulfilled. What else does the Five Old Stars have?"
Reason to start a war with the Four Emperors?!"
"That would tip the balance!!"
"Well, that's a good point."
Looking at the surrounding residents of the Holy Land who were looking around because of his roar, Lovett shrugged at the owl.
"However, the unwillingness to break the balance is just because the interests are not enough. If there are enough interests, what are you afraid of?"
Speaking of this, Lovett raised the corners of his mouth evilly.
"So you still don't understand why you can't return to the Holy Land, Saint Donquixote Doflamingo!"
The core of compromise is nothing more than interests.
Without enough benefits, who cares about your identity?
Including the fact that he was able to stand here calmly and talk to Doflamingo, who had tricked him, it was also because he had greater interests to support him.
"asshole!!"
boom!
This sentence touched Doflamingo's back. Hearing this, he popped out the transparent silk thread with both hands, and his overlord-colored domineering energy exploded, stunning the residents on both sides of the street and causing the glass to burst in all directions.
Then……
Whoosh!
In Doflamingo's shocked, angry, and disbelieving eyes, Owl flew in front of Lovett, compressed and tightened the air to form an eagle's claw, and clasped it a few centimeters away from his neck.
"You two, give me some face, and fight me until you leave the Holy Land. How about that?"
"Owl!!"
Doflamingo's voice was as cold as ice, and he yelled viciously: "How dare you, a dog, attack me?!"
But Xiao was unmoved and answered calmly.
"Dogs only obey their master's orders. This is what the Lords of Wulaoxing want."
The implication is that you, the flamingo, are not his master.
Click!
His teeth were bitten hard and cracked, and his eyeballs were bloodshot.
But Doflamingo finally put down his hand and looked at Lovett coldly: "The government will not let you be a threat for too long, Black Earl."
"When this thing is over, it will be your death!"
Lovett was impatient with this.
"ill!"
Then he stepped forward and left him behind.
Xiao Xiao also looked at Doflamingo speechlessly and retracted his claws.
They are both ambitious and dangerous elements, but why are their levels so different?
Is it really because of his birthplace as a Celestial Dragon?
The two of them walked forward, leaving Doflamingo alone in a daze.
