From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"You rotten gambler, don't worry about me. In fact, I already knew that you didn't inherit the will of Boss Shiki at all. I was just deceiving myself. Every time I saw your ability, I thought that the boss was not dead yet... He was still alive, but now think about it, you are not at all like him. Go away, don't worry about me anymore, and continue to be your gambler!" Sphinx pushed Fujitora away and said with a smile.

However, Fujitora smiled and raised his hand to grab the Sphinx's collar, lifted her up, and threw her behind him. He looked at Diarmait with a serious look and said, "Perhaps this choice is wrong, but... I can't just watch you take my friend away!"

"Oh, you want to make an enemy of the navy and the admirals?" Diarmait grinned with a ferocious smile.

"Maybe I just want to ask for your forgiveness, General." Fujitora smiled and touched the sword at his waist, and said softly.

"Hahahahahaha!" Diarmait laughed.

After laughing, Diarmait said, "You haven't caused any trouble in all these years. I can actually consider you dead. The Sphinx, and even our Navy's intelligence department, have already confirmed your death. Capturing you or not, it doesn't make much sense at this point. I can take you to Shiki's grave, but from now on, you must join my army..."

Fujitora Issho is just that kind of person. Even as an admiral, he could so easily let the Straw Hat Pirates go, not to mention he's not even in the navy yet. As for Sphinx, Diarmuid really doesn't have much interest in her anymore. She's been retired for so many years now, and it's fine for her to be with Fujitora Issho. However, she did make mistakes back then, so he can't really ignore her. Instead of that, he should give her a chance to mend her ways.

In fact, the navy also has this tradition of recruiting pirates. For example, in the original story, Tina recruited the hypnotist of the Black Cat Pirates.

But there is no need for her to join the navy, nor is it appropriate.

"Impossible. I can be captured by you, killed by you, it doesn't matter to me, but wanting me to join your bastard navy is impossible!" Sphinx refused without hesitation.

"It's not the navy. Actually, it suits you very well. I think I'm hiring you as security personnel. There's a place called the Golden City. I think you will definitely be very interested in it..." Diarmait said with a smile.

"This entertainment city is ten thousand times more awesome than this one. It has everything from the lowest-level gambling dens to the top-tier luxury casinos..." The little devil Tina also tempted.

Fujitora smiled, thinking this guy had no moral integrity at all. He immediately pulled Sphinx and said, "No problem at all! It's not a matter of gambling or not. I just think the name Golden City sounds nice and it seems destined to be with me!"

e

Chapter 328: The conspiracy of Dressrosa is underway.

After agreeing to open the casino in Golden City, Fujitora Ichisho and Sphinx immediately rushed there to report, and Diarmait and others quickly evacuated the casino.

The Sphinx let out a sigh of relief and slumped in his chair with a complicated expression.

"You should change your bad temper, Sphinx." Fujitora said with a smile and looked at Sphinx.

Sphinx looked up at Fujitora and smiled, then whispered, "When I saw him, I couldn't help but get angry..."

"If I weren't here today, you might really die. Is this the result you want?" Fujitora said with a smile and a frown.

"I'm not afraid of death!" said the Sphinx without hesitation.

"But your death will be meaningless. If Shiki really treats you like his daughter as you said, do you think he would want you to die in such a confused way?" Fujitora asked with a smile.

"I..." Sphinx wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

"Forget it. Just be more careful next time and don't be so irritable all the time." Fujitora smiled again and said.

"Alas..." The Sphinx sighed, feeling helpless.

"This is good, isn't it? The Golden City... Although I haven't heard of it, the admiral of the navy shouldn't lie to us." Fujitora smiled and touched his chin, and said with some anticipation.

"Is he really trustworthy? A gambler?" Sphinx asked with some doubt.

"Why would he lie to us? It's pointless." Fujitora said with a smile.

After a brief pause, Fujitora smiled and said, "If we really join this Golden City, at least we won't have to worry about the navy anymore." People's personalities and ideas are actually the result of the accumulation and evolution of life experiences.

In the original story, Fujitora Ichisho didn't know what he had experienced, but he definitely had a different view of the world. To some extent, he even thought that the world had polluted his eyes. He didn't want to see this filthy world anymore, so he blinded himself.

At the same time, after the Navy Headquarters launched the world conscription campaign, he may have had the idea of ​​changing the world, so he joined the Navy and directly became the Navy Admiral based on his strength.

Using his status and power as the Admiral of the Navy, he launched an action to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea at the World Conference and ultimately succeeded.

It can be considered as realizing one's ambition and changing the world.

But there is no doubt that in the story of this world, not only is Fujitora not blind, he also met the Sphinx. It sounds like they have been together for many years.

He was more or less influenced by the Sphinx's thoughts, will, and even living habits, which would subtly change his thoughts and decisions.

At the same time, he inherited Shiki's Float-Float Fruit. Although he felt that he had nothing to do with Shiki, there would always be some changes.

This led to Fujitora in this world smiling. He did not have any harsh thoughts about this world in his heart, nor did he go blind because of it. Since he was accompanied by the former pirate Sphinx, he had never thought about or planned to join the navy.

Even if a world conscription campaign were to begin right now, Fujitora would still continue to be a gambler and look down on the navy.

And now, at this turning point, Fujitora met Diarmait and had a new choice to join the Golden City.

"I'm inexplicably looking forward to the Golden City..." Fujitora murmured with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and looked back at the gambling table. Seeing that the dice clock was still firmly attached to the table, his expression lit up with joy. He went up and pulled open the dice clock, counted the points, and it was "big".

"Sphinx, I won. Come on, give me the money!" Fujitora said with a big laugh.

The Sphinx was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Impossible, and this bet is invalid. I won't give you a penny of Bailey!" "Is this how you talk to your savior? Bastard!" Fujitora said angrily with a smile.

Soon, the two men walked out of the messy gambling house cursing at each other.

At the same time, on the other side of the street, the gunfight that had just taken place in the gambling house seemed to have no impact on this side at all. The Great Pirate Era had been going on for more than ten years, and it was indeed making the people of this era more nervous.

"General, are we just going to let them go like this? Will they really go to the Golden City as agreed?" Tina asked as she walked beside Diarmait.

Diarmuid admired the bustling street scene while nonchalantly saying, "This is just a casual arrangement. In fact, even if they don't go to the Golden City, I won't lose anything. And it's obvious that Fujitora Issho is a smart man. This kind of thing doesn't harm their interests, so why don't they go? Besides, if the Sphinx doesn't go to the Golden City, she won't be able to burn incense for Shiki either."

Vergo followed on the other side and said, "If it were me, I would definitely go."

Tina glared at Virgo with some dissatisfaction. Seeing this, Virgo didn't dare to say anything. After all, he had been beaten by Tina before.

Even though Tina was suspected of a sneak attack, Virgo still remembered clearly that he was subdued by Tina in an instant.

He knew very well that this seemingly weak major general beside General Diarmuid, who was only handling clerical work, was actually a very capable fighter.

Tina glared at Vergo, making him afraid to bother her again. Then she hugged Diarmait's arm and said, "General, the amusement park in Carnival City is said to be very famous. Let's go ride the roller coaster together..." At the same time, in the New World, Dressrosa.

After a busy day, Liku Dold III was about to make himself a cup of tea and take a break.

However, just as he took out the tea leaves and had no time to brew them, he suddenly noticed a figure sitting there carelessly on the windowsill of the half-open window.

"An assassin?" King Riku frowned, then raised his head and looked over carefully.

Then, his expression showed some surprise.

"Tian Yaksha?" King Riku asked in surprise.

"Fufufufufufu..." Doflamingo smiled evilly.

In fact, at this moment, King Riku did not have much fear of Doflamingo, because Doflamingo's current identity was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and theoretically, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were his own people. At the same time, due to the appearance of Diarmait, the current Seven Warlords of the Sea did not have a great reputation.

So King Riku was not really afraid at this first moment, he was just a little surprised. Why did Doflamingo come?

"Sir Tian Yasha, do you have any advice for me?" King Riku asked respectfully.

Doflamingo didn't answer immediately, but instead looked out the window.

Dressrosa is not big. In the entire New World, it is at most a small country, and the population is not very large. Doflamingo remembers that there are only about two million people.

The entire country is located on this island.

And this island looks very poor.

Yes, Dressrosa, ruled by the Riku royal family, is extremely poor.

Perhaps in some aspects, Liku Dord III did a good job, but when it came to the two important issues of economy and people's livelihood, the Liku royal family had been negligent for hundreds of years.

"A poor country is the king's failure, isn't it?" Doflamingo suddenly turned his head and looked at King Riku.

King Riku frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Doflamingo meant. "You're just a pirate, what are you talking about? Why don't you talk about One Piece?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Lord Tenyaksha." King Riku said after a moment of silence.

"Ten billion, ten billion berries, in cash. You must prepare this amount of ransom for me in three days." Doflamingo said incoherently.

King Riku was completely confused. What was going on?

But soon, his expression changed and he asked, "Ransom? Who did you kidnap?"

"Don't think too lowly of me, King Riku. If I really kidnapped someone, just think of it as the entire Dressrosa. If I don't see 10 billion Beli in cash in three days, the Don Quixote family will destroy the entire Dressrosa. You don't have to doubt whether I have this ability, because you can bet, fufufufufufufu..." Doflamingo said with an evil smile.

As he finished speaking, Doflamingo flicked his fingers a few times.

King Riku suddenly felt that his body was out of control, and under Doflamingo's manipulation, he made a cup of tea.

"Consider it my treat. For the sake of my reputation, please don't tell anyone about our 'deal', or I'll be forced to kill them. For example, kill everyone in Dressrosa?" Doflamingo said with a malicious tone.

Then he turned around and jumped out of the window. In the moonlight, the evil figure looked like a real yaksha. It flashed a few times in the air and disappeared.

667 “One hundred billion?” King Liku seemed to come to his senses at this moment.

To be honest, for any normal royal family, 10 billion Baileys is not a big problem. It can even be said that it is not a problem at all.

Even if you are not a royal family but a noble, this amount of money is not too much of a burden.

In the past, in the Chagos Archipelago, the nobles would spend two or three hundred million berries to buy slaves to satisfy their own selfish desires, not to mention buying luxury goods on a daily basis to maintain their luxurious lifestyle.

Perhaps in a year, they can spend far more than 10 billion Baileys.

If it were Neptune of Ryugu Castle, he could unleash ten billion berries without blinking, even hitting Doflamingo in the face and arrogantly asking, "Is that enough?" But for King Riku, ten billion berries would literally kill him.

He was extremely poor and was definitely a failure as a king.

But if it were any other time, he could still come up with the 10 billion berries by gritting his teeth.

But now, not long ago, this year's heavenly gold had just been transported away, and Liku Dold III no longer had any financial reserves. He was penniless.

Doflamingo actually pinpointed the timing and found out through investigation that the Riku royal family was simply unable to support 10 billion Beli in cash, so he took action.

After all, is it 10 billion that he needs? No, 10 billion Baileys means nothing to Doflamingo.

This number, however, struck a chord with Riku Dold III.

If there is less, maybe he can really make it up.

If there are too many, he will become desperate and may even end up in a fight to the death with Doflamingo.

Ten billion, neither more nor less, was just the amount he could accept, but he still had to use some special means to raise the money.

King Riku didn't dare to bet on whether Doflamingo was cruel enough, nor did he dare to bet on whether Doflamingo would plunder and destroy Dressrosa. Therefore, he did not tell anyone about this matter and planned to find a way to collect the 10 billion berries within three days.

"If all else fails, we'll just have to borrow money from the people first." King Liku murmured after thinking it over.

Chapter 329 The King of Dressrosa!

Early in the morning, on the top floor of the luxury hotel in Carnival City.

Diarmait was still asleep when he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Tina, a girl wearing a white shirt, falling towards his abdomen.

boom! A muffled sound.
