From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Spandane said this very skillfully. He didn't care about Mary Geoise's mission at all. He just wanted to cling to Diarmait's thigh!

Show loyalty at all times.

Diarmuid understood what he meant and smiled, saying, "Stop flattering me and focus on your mission. I won't meddle in Alaba 2.9stan's affairs. I'm just here to see the excitement."

At this point, Diarmait's expression became slightly more serious. "By the way, let me give you a heads up."

Crocodile? Diarmait didn't take this guy seriously at all, even though this was a desert country, even though he was the king of the desert and could exert his strength and abilities to the limit.

But Diarmait still didn't take him too seriously.

The only person that Diarmait was concerned about was this guy, Dorag.

Diarmuid didn't intend to hinder Dragon here, so he just let him go and compete with CP, Crocodile, and even the people from the headquarters.

If there were no major problems, Diarmait would just consider himself on vacation.

If the situation changes drastically, if there is a tendency for the situation to spread, affecting the layout of the navy or other noteworthy issues, then Diarmait might step in to cover the losses.

It's that simple.

"With your words, I feel like I can let go and do a great job." Spandine flattered again.

"Hehe, don't count on me too much." Diarmait teased with a smile.

Without waiting for him to ask, Spandane unreservedly told him everything about the CP's actions here, which Diarmuid listened to with great interest.

Chapter 342: An An's appearance! ? The love-hate relationship among the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

New world, Dressrosa.

In the castle of King's Heights, Doflamingo was standing at the window, looking out over the entire kingdom.

In fact, Doflamingo had planned to seize Dressrosa a long time ago, but in his imagination at that time, Dressrosa was just a place to supply him with blood and circulate contraband.

Doflamingo does not have much good feelings towards the country that his ancestors once ruled, nor does he care how the people of this place are treated.

In the original story, although Doflamingo brought prosperity to Dressrosa, behind the prosperity was the terrifying dark oppression.

Anyone who dares to go against his pace will become a toy in this country, become the labor force he exploits, and be forgotten by the world.

But now, Doflamingo, who has a much better mentality, is not so dark. He has built this place from scratch and slowly pulled it back from the brink of bankruptcy and decline. This feeling is actually quite enjoyable.

"Power, status... money, these are really good things." Doflamingo looked at the scenery outside the window and murmured softly.

After a brief pause, he muttered to himself: "But you don't deserve to enjoy it, and you don't deserve to sit on that high throne... Just wait, one day, I will bring an end to you." Just as Doflamingo was immersed in his own hatred, a slightly harsh Den Den Mushi rang.

Doflamingo habitually reached for his trouser pocket, but the next second, he was stunned.

The shrill sound of the Den Den Mushi was not the one he usually used in his pocket.

Doflamingo thought of something and quickly turned around and walked towards a table following the source of the sound. Then, he opened the drawer of the table and saw a bat-like Den Den Mushi squeaking inside.

"These 12 are..." Doflamingo said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is the Den Den Mushi that Marijoa distributed to the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Once this Den Den Mushi rings, it means that the Seven Warlords of the Sea have to fulfill their duties.

Normally, it is difficult to refuse the call of Den Den Mushi without a proper reason, because Mary Geoise may very likely revoke your status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Although he had only been one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea for a short time, Doflamingo had inquired about the relevant information before. Theoretically speaking, over the years, almost none of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had ever seen the Den Den Mushi being activated.

"Why do things become so complicated when it comes to me?" Doflamingo muttered unhappily, then he picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the call.

Didn't speak.

On the other side, the Den Den Mushi seemed to be silent as well.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet.

Doflamingo looked at the Den Den Mushi, rubbing his chin, feeling very puzzled. What the hell was wrong with it? Why didn't it say anything when it called?

Is there something wrong with the way I answer the Den Den Mushi?

But I have no experience?

Was there some kind of code or something? Was I not paying attention to these things at the time?

But Doflamingo can also hold it in. Anyway, if you don't say anything, I won't say anything either. It's best if you just hang up the Den Den Mushi. I'll just think you dialed wrong, and let's not bother each other!

After waiting for more than a minute, Doflamingo was thinking about whether he should pour a glass of red wine and continue to look at the scenery by the window.

Finally, a gloomy voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"You are still so annoying, Doflamingo." The gloomy voice said slightly gloomily.

Doflamingo didn't recognize the owner of the voice for a moment, and his expression was a little strange. Who the hell are you?

The one on Den Den Mushi's side is Crocodile.

It’s just that Doflamingo and Crocodile haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, and they don’t contact each other much on a daily basis. Doflamingo must be sick, not secretly in love with Crocodile, so he deliberately remembered his voice.

After hesitating for a moment, Doflamingo asked guiltily, "Who are you?"

Crocodile's expression froze on Den Den Mushi's side. What happened to the love-hate relationship we agreed on? It wasn't like that when you were pursuing me. When you were pursuing me for cooperation, it wasn't like this!

Now that he's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are you going to turn your back on me?

You didn't recognize my voice, so doesn't that make me look embarrassed? Don't I have any dignity?

For a moment, Crocodile looked at the Den Den Mushi, not knowing what to say.

This only made Doflamingo feel even more guilty. Now that he thought about it, that voice did sound familiar. Was it someone he knew?

Luckily, Doflamingo was a respectable man and didn't embarrass Crocodile any further. Or perhaps, he was better educated. He finally asked again, "I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I might be a little confused. Who are you?"

This gave Crocodile a way out. On the Den Den Mushi side, Crocodile's expression improved a little, but he still snorted a little arrogantly and said, "Hmph, Crocodile..."

Doflamingo was genuinely surprised this time. He froze for a moment before he let out a wicked laugh. "Fufufufufufu, Crocodile... Come to think of it, it's been seven or eight years... maybe even longer since we last spoke. Interesting, really interesting. Why would an arrogant guy like you suddenly contact me?"

Before Crocodile could speak, Doflamingo added, "Is there something you need my help with? Fufufufu, if you ask, I might listen..."

His tone was quite sarcastic.

It's like you ignored me at first, but now I'm out of your reach.

Or maybe it's Smoker's feeling of "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor."

Crocodile's scalp tingled after hearing this. There was no doubt that if Doflamingo was in front of him, the two would have definitely started fighting.

"At least you should learn to respect your predecessors, Doflamingo." Crocodile said in a cold tone.

"Really? Then what advice do you have for me, senior?" Doflamingo asked with an evil smile.

"Look at the Den Den Mushi in your hand, Doflamingo. As a senior among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I can teach you... For example, being a Seven Warlord of the Sea is not that easy..." Crocodile said.

Doflamingo's expression became more serious at this point, and he said, "Stop talking nonsense. What's going on?"

"Hmph." Crocodile snorted coldly and continued, "In Alabasta, Marijoa's people are recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea to do something. I am one of them, as are you, and the other two."

Doflamingo was a little confused. Dressrosa is in a state of disrepair and has a lot of things to do. How can he have the time to care about the mess in Alabasta?

But before Doflamingo could say anything, Crocodile said, "This time it's authorized by the highest authority."

This made it difficult for Doflamingo to say the refusal he originally wanted to say.

Although he had only been one of the Shichibukai for a short time, Doflamingo knew everything he needed to know. The authorization from the highest position meant that he had the power to actually deprive him of his status as one of the Shichibukai.

Are you kidding? He finally became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he had to cling to the navy and steal the gold from the sky.

Now he was looking forward to waiting for the World Conference to open again in 1516, when he would ascend to that damned Mary Geoise that had once shut him out, as the King of Dressrosa, to show off his might and vent his anger.

The arrogant bastards above Marijoa don't have a close relationship with Doflamingo. If they really find an excuse, Doflamingo has reason to suspect that they will really abolish his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Crocodile sensed his silence and became cheerful. He felt inexplicably happy to see Doflamingo suffer a setback.

"It seems that you should understand what this means and what situation you are in." Crocodile said with an evil smile.

In fact, he was just taking advantage of the information asymmetry to fool Doflamingo.

It was indeed the highest level of authorization, but that was given to Spandine, and Spandine obviously would not vent his anger on Doflamingo for this. However, at this time, the atmosphere of communication created by Crocodile led Doflamingo to believe that it was really Marijoa who specifically asked him to go.

"What happened in Alabasta? Does it require the dispatch of our Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Doflamingo did not respond, but instead asked.

"It was nothing at first. Like you, I just wanted to complete the pirate usurpation of the country here. But those bastards from the Songming Army also jumped out and made a mess of this place. At the same time, the people in Mary Geoise seemed to be crazy for some reason and wanted to target the Nefertari clan. They needed a black glove to do these things, and we are the black glove..." Crocodile explained.

He didn't tell Doflamingo many key points, and there was no need to tell him.

But these words are all true.

Doflamingo had calmed down by now and said with a wicked smile, "To put it simply, you created this mess, and now everyone is going to help you clean it up, right?"

"Is there something wrong with your comprehension ability? Has your brain become stupid after becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Crocodile sneered coldly.

"Fufufufufufu, stop pretending, Crocodile, I know who you are." Doflamingo said with a smile.

"Are you coming or not? Do you need me to refuse it for you? I'm happy to refuse it for you..." Crocodile sneered.

It was as if he was actually expecting Doflamingo to refuse.

Needless to say, the more he spoke like this, the more Doflamingo became confused and uncertain. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then go, Alaba..."

But before he could finish his words, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, which scared Doflamingo a little and he looked up towards the door.

She is a beautiful girl with long light green hair. Judging from her dress, she looks like Doflamingo's secretary.

In fact, it was indeed his secretary, named Monet, who was a nature-type Snow-Snow Fruit user.

Doflamingo frowned slightly and asked, "What are you so flustered about?"

At the same time, he also reached out and covered the Den Den Mushi.

Monet didn't have time to apologize, but she also saw Doflamingo's special Den Den Mushi, so she quickly whispered obscurely: "Master, there is news about the devil fruit that the big man told me about..."

Doflamingo's eyes gleamed as he asked, "The one about the natural department?"

"Hmm!" Monet responded first, then silently mouthed, "Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Doflamingo smiled, and seemed to be in a much happier mood. He said, "If we can make that important person happy, these problems will no longer be a problem. Hehehe..."

After he finished speaking, he waved at Monet, then released the Den Den Mushi and said, "Then I won't go. Please help me reject you, Crocodile, love whoever you want. I have more important things to do now. We'll contact each other when we have the chance. Fufufu..."

Then, without waiting for Crocodile to speak, Doflamingo hung up the Den Den Mushi.

So confident, so cool, we have someone above us!

On the other side, in Alabasta, Crocodile looked at the hung-up Den Den Mushi in a daze. What the hell, this script is wrong!?
