The reason why it is said to be a fig leaf is because the existence of "joker" is the result of the tacit consent of all parties.
Tracing back to the source, it involves the turmoil in Wano Country more than ten years ago.
Judging from the results, after Black Carbon Orochi ruled Wano Country, he built arsenals in the country, used the waste of the rebels and disobedient people, and used the entire country to produce weapons.
He reached an agreement with Kaido, the "Four Emperors", and Kaido provided him with shelter. He provided arms for Kaido's formation of troops, and also sold arms to support both parties.
The sewage and poisonous gas brought by countless arsenals destroyed the environment, causing the country of Wano to starve to death. The people were in dire straits. If they didn't want to die, they could only obey them and work for them.
On the basis of eating steamed buns with human blood, these weapons are naturally "high quality and low price".
But behind the Wano General Kurotan Orochi stands the "Four Emperors" Kaido. This is an illegal pirate business, and only pirates and some unclean people dare to make large purchases.
But such high-quality and cheap weapons can't just be bought by pirates, right?
All the powers in the world want it.
As a result, Donquixote Doflamingo, a Celestial Dragon who left the "Holy Land" Marijoa since he was a child, saw business opportunities, snatched the heavenly gold and became the Shichibukai. With Dressrosa as the hub, he secretly served as an intermediary.
.
He took the lead in connecting the world government and the Black Carbon Orochi to transport military weapons to all parts of the world.
This is the origin of the code name "joker".
It is a fig leaf that stands in the way of the World Government and all other apparently legitimate nations.
Even if someone discovers it.
I do business with the Shichibukai, which is recognized by the government. What does it have to do with you, Kaido?
The danger is greatly avoided.
But at the same time, it also puts Doflamingo in a position where he is neither embarrassed nor embarrassed.
Buyers and sellers are not under his control, and no matter which party has an opinion against him, they can be easily broken up.
The World Government has been dissatisfied with him for a long time. It is extremely risky to let a Celestial Dragon who has mastered a big secret wander outside. It is only because of his value that it has not taken action.
As the most maverick among the four emperors, Kaido has a difficult temper.
Being caught in the middle is not a human being.
Therefore, after the business gradually got on the right track, Doflamingo urgently needed a turning point to help him get rid of control.
In the original work, M. Caesar Coulan's betrayal led him to find the path to artificial devil fruit, but it was still early, and it was also at this moment that the Blood Curse Weapon appeared.
"It seems that the Blood Curse Weapon means more to him than I imagined. He is willing to take risks to establish contact with me."
On board the Leviathan, Lovett looked at the city of gourmet food that was slowly revealing itself in the distance, with the corners of his mouth raised.
"I just don't know what price you are willing to pay to win over me?"
"Hopefully it won't be the worst outcome."
Bang!!
Behind him, a muffled sound came.
Qiu Jie's thick arms were as sharp and angular as those cast from molten steel. The 1.95-meter-tall man walked closer, with a look of fanaticism in his eyes, and leaned towards Lovett.
"My lord, Wallace asked if you would like to go around the port."
With Lovett's current popularity, the navy might come to visit him if he appears in front of the world.
"No need to bother."
Lovett turned his head and patted his strong shoulder: "You will protect me, right?"
Buzz!!
Bright silver lines lit up from the skin, and a buzzing sound filled the air.
Hearing this, the big guy... No, Akin clenched his fists, looked at Lovett with fanatical reverence, and answered loudly.
"I will not let you down!!"
…
Pukei, the city of gourmet food.
Another tourist city located on the third route.
I have to say that the painting style of the third route of the Grand Line is really strange. Take a look at the fourth route next door. The Ancient Island, Alabasta, Sky Island, and Long Circle Island, each one is more dangerous and more wonderful than the last.
And what about the islands on the third route?
City of Spring Queen, City of Food, Carnival City...
If the Straw Hats took this route, the entire style of One Piece would probably fall into disarray.
Wow!
The staggeringly large Leviathan crashed into the bay, and the turbulent waves pushed the sea water around. Looking at the huge warship that was somewhat similar to a warship, the dense crowd in the port fell silent for an instant.
But soon...
"It's the Black Earl's Leviathan!"
"That man-eating warship? No, run away!"
"Why is he here? Didn't he leave Happy Street long ago?"
"Don't worry about that and leave quickly!"
In an instant, the port that had been crowded just now suddenly became deserted. Even if they knew that this was a city of gourmet food and that there was a naval branch stationed not far away, people did not dare to put their lives and wealth on Lovett's mood.
This is a ruthless man who destroyed most of Happy Street and killed two major admirals of the navy!
Until now, Happy Street has not recovered its strength.
"So...inviting me to meet here, don't they think they are bored?"
Stepping off the deck, Lovett shook his head.
"And...why are you still hiding there?"
Not far away, an ordinary boatman who seemed to be hiding behind the cargo pile opened his eyes wide when he heard this and pointed at himself.
"I?"
"Yes."
Lovett raised his eyebrows.
"There are so many people around, but I don't see any panic in you... Isn't it you, or who is it?"
soul!
Or the mental state.
The Necromancer can tell the difference at a glance, just like Lovett can tell whether Monka has regained his memory.
No matter how many other people escaped, they all had the smell of unknown fear and violent fluctuations in mental power, but this guy didn't, as if he knew he would appear.
Who knows that he will definitely come?
The answer is clear at a glance.
"What reason is this..."
These things are incomprehensible to outsiders and belong to the mage's unique methods.
The man's mouth twitched, stood up from his hiding place, and admitted his identity.
"I learned that Captain Black Earl has returned to the City of the Queen of Spring, and I guessed that you would come along the sea train route, so I calculated the time and sent me to wait here."
He neatly arranged his clothes and spread his hands sideways: "Please go this way!"
Boom! Boom!
The bodyguard and Ah Jin landed heavily, smashing the stone slabs of the port. Looking at Ah Jin, whose image changed drastically and was completely inconsistent with the information, the man's pupils shrank.
"It's so dazzling!"
…
He told the Levianson not to cause trouble. Under the leadership of the man, Lovett turned left and right along the path. When his eyes suddenly opened up, a luxurious courtyard appeared in front of him.
"Captain Black Earl, someone else will take you in next. I'll say goodbye first."
After saying that, the man turned around and walked away, as if there was some wild beast inside.
There are indeed scourges.
Looking at the courtyard loft, Lovett narrowed his eyes.
"A big shot is here!"
There, a group of strong breath of life dyed the sky red, seemingly shaky, but always full of stamina.
In order to negotiate cooperation with him, Doflamingo sent out the most important part of the family, the cadre group.
"Mr.g, I didn't expect to meet so soon."
Lovett said loudly.
Hearing this, Rao G, who was hiding in the attic, changed his expression suddenly, but he quickly relaxed and opened the window.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lovett so soon. The blood curse weapon you sold to us last time has attracted countless people in the new world. I don't know if there will be a chance to continue our cooperation."
"It depends on your sincerity."
Lovett was smiling, but he meant something: "You want the horse to run but don't let the horse eat grass. How can there be so many good things in the world."
Rao G's expression tightened and he nodded solemnly: "I want to explain it clearly to you this time to avoid misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
"Yes, misunderstanding."
Boom!
The cane was gently tapped, Heisha's hands were placed on his waist, and a wisp of frosty white hung down from his forehead, until the tip of his nose.
Looking at the serious Rao G in front of him, Lovett smiled slightly: "It's good to misunderstand. I like misunderstandings the most."
So is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Rao G's eyelids twitched and he turned around: "Your Excellency, please come in!"
