Mobile Scourge was indeed famous more than ten years ago, but the version has been updated, and Duran's evil is only reflected in his unexpected attitude towards dealing with things, rather than his combat effectiveness.
Although Duran used Enero and Moria to fight on behalf of others, these are not enough for outsiders to understand.
Doflamingo pays close attention to the version update. The fruit ability of the previous version has been developed to the extreme. The new version's domineering power is also available in three colors. If he hadn't made a mistake that many villains make, he would not have had to challenge the protagonist in a one-on-one battle.
Losing so badly.
At this time, Doflamingo was staring at Duran, obviously thinking that he could defeat him. Once Duran made a move, he could counterattack as soon as possible.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just passing by to see how your rule is?" Dulan said with a smile: "It's not bad, at least it's quite prosperous on the surface. Infrastructure has been invested, and the life of the residents in the city is also good. As a
Former Tianlongren, your abilities are quite good."
When he heard Duran gesticulating, as a local leader, Doflamingo didn't need others to judge him, he only listened to his own voice.
"But I don't approve of your style. You are cruel to traitors, you are kind to your own people, but you are especially kind to your enemies. Don't you think there is something wrong?" "There is another question, how can you occupy such a good territory?
You have given so much money to the Tianlong people. Once you run out of money, will your status be stable? You will be walking on thin ice all your life, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get to the other side."
"..." Doflamingo naturally knew that his situation was not optimistic, because he sent money to the Celestial Dragons on time, and he also took advantage of the Celestial Dragons' weaknesses to secure his position. But once he loses value, he will definitely
was replaced. He really wanted to establish a system that could operate stably and ensure his status on the island. However, his energy was limited, and traitors always appeared in his family.
If he doesn't kill the traitors, how can he deter the inside?
This is his difficulty. There are internal and external troubles, various dissent within the family, and various external pressures. Even if he has fruits and domineering power, it is difficult to maintain his position. After all, fruits and domineering power cannot prevent plots.
Even the Yonko Shanks would have his arm bitten off by a Neptune when he was careless. Doflamingo couldn't keep using his Haki, and he might be killed by a traitor at any time, so he could only spread fear in advance and use fear
Reduce costs.
But it's obviously difficult to last.
"You can't bring hope to everyone. Although you have worked hard, your current status has reached the sky and it is difficult to go further. If you cannot become a Celestial Dragon or a Four Emperors, you will be stuck here and unable to transform. Once
If you can't provide more benefits to your subordinates, the cost of managing them will continue to increase. Don't you have to have all kinds of traitors? So your problem is that you can't get to the next level." Dulan pointed out the problem pointedly.
Doflamingo is very strong, but his current status is already at the highest point he can reach, and he can no longer transform and upgrade. He works hard, but some things require the right time, place and people, not just hard work.
"To put it simply, your cards have been played. Now you can only defend, not attack." Duran said: "You can tell by the look on your face that I am right. I know your story very well. I know
Your father gave up his identity as a Celestial Dragon, knowing that you were homeless when you were a child, and that you killed your own brother for development. In order to get to this point, you have made a lot of efforts and endured a lot of hardships. You are good at dancing, playing both sides, and trying to please you.
The Navy secretly communicated with the Four Emperors and used its advantages to the extreme, but you can no longer lead your men to improve."
"..." Doflamingo felt like he was being seen through, as if he had no clothes on, and even his internal organs and blood vessels were being seen through. This feeling was very bad and uncomfortable.
Although lies hurt, the truth is sharper.
In fact, this is not just a problem for Doflamingo, but a problem for most small countries. Small countries all face a problem of upper limit of development.
When a small country develops, everything is easy to say, but the development constraints of a small country are too great, and it can easily reach its peak, and then there will be no more.
Even if a small country gains industrial advantages and has the blessing of science and technology, it will still be difficult to maintain development. Of course, if the population is smaller and the resources are more, it will still be very satisfying to be a resource-exporting country.
Although small countries with few people are the ideal world in my mind, there is no reason why small countries with few people are gradually being eliminated. The error tolerance rate and development prospects of small countries are really not good enough.
Doflamingo is now a typical small country, occupying an advantageous geographical location and making a lot of money. Then he built an artificial fruit factory and a gladiatorial arena, and there are many industries. But it has no way to continue its development. Plains
Factors such as area, total fresh water volume, power generation capacity, high-quality population, etc. have all peaked.
At the same time, there are many places to spend money. Although the welfare expenditures for dolls and mini-humans have been reduced, and only basic protection is provided to ordinary citizens, the amount of money cannot be given to the Celestial Dragons, and they have to accept Kaido's exploitation, and of course provide family thugs.
You can’t have less money. Your income has reached its peak but you spend a lot of money. What should you do?
Doflamingo naturally knew these questions, so he sneered: "Even if you get them all right, so what?"
"I'm here to help you. Have you ever thought about capitalizing your assets? Using money to defeat the Draconians and the Four Emperors? Have you ever thought about going capitalist?" Dulan said with a smile.
"..." Doflamingo didn't understand.
"It means using your assets and future as collateral in exchange for a large amount of funds, and then using the funds to develop technology or expand territory. To put it simply, it is to borrow money to develop. If you can achieve success, if not, you will go bankrupt. How?
"If you are willing, I can ask Nine Snakes Bank to help you operate." Duran said that in Europe, how could the nobles who had no advantage in land and population defeat the kings who had the divine right of kings, and how could they defeat religion?
Just one way is to capitalize assets, mortgage the land worth 100 yuan into stocks or bonds worth 1,000 yuan, and then use the money to go gold hunting in the New World.
Directly increase leverage to expand the value of assets tenfold or hundreds of times. In the Age of Discovery, the gap between one hundred and one thousand could be filled by snatching resources or industrialized production, but of course in the end it could only be filled by bragging.
Tulip traps and Ponzi schemes are the ultimate models of capital games. They only rely on telling stories to defraud others of their money. Instead of relying on expansion and technology to increase output value, you can make money only by relying on stories.
But for Doflamingo, he is indeed suitable to take the capitalist route now. He has good strength and an artificial fruit factory, so he can definitely take a gamble.
Duran explained the specific operation. The more Doflamingo listened, the more excited he became, because as long as he has enough money, he can indeed do a lot of things with money, including investing in infrastructure, recruiting troops, and in short, he can do more.
matter.
He was excited when he thought that he could have a new choice. But he still had another question and asked: "Why do you want to help me? I don't believe that there are unreasonable kindnesses in this world."
"Good intention? I'm not helping you out of kindness, but to cause greater damage." Dulan said: "If you have money, you can keep the artificial fruit industry. Artificial fruits will directly change the order of the world, and then the war will begin."
The scale will be even greater, the sea will be stained with blood, and the world will be in chaos, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Is he really just afraid that the world will not be in chaos? Doflamingo doesn't really believe it. But now there is no other way. He has reached the end. If he doesn't risk everything in exchange for a sum of money, there is no hope.
And he has also considered that although he has mortgaged all his assets in exchange for a sum of money, as long as he wins, it will be no problem. The assets will still be his and he can make more money.
Borrowing money with a mortgage is equivalent to your property multiplying several times in a short period of time. Although if you lose, the property belongs to others, but if you win, the property still belongs to you.
If Nine Snake Bank is allowed to do it, it can directly issue stocks or bonds.
"If Nine Snake Bank can save Doflamingo, he will definitely become an idol of emerging capital, and more people will definitely be willing to hand over their assets to the bank." Duran said that this can be considered a help.
The empress.
If successful, both Doflamingo and the Empress can make money, and even Wang Luffy can buy artificial fruits from Kaido. After all, the more artificial fruit factories there are, the greater the output, and the more affordable the price will be.
