From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Don't bother with him, this bastard..." Dauberman cursed.

Hancock laughed, then pointed to the hundreds of stone statues behind him and asked, "What about them? Are they being released now?"

"Goodbye, these bastards gathered here because they have nothing to do. Let them just be stone statues quietly for a while." Doberman shook his head again.

There are 7 troops stationed at the G- base, and hundreds of them take turns taking holidays every day. This seems to be a very normal thing. These guys are currently idle and have nothing to do. This is why Doberman and the Flying Squirrel did not disperse them and stop them from causing trouble.

There aren't many entertainment activities in the naval base, so the arrival of the Empress allows them to have some fun, which is nice.

Although Dauberman told Hancock to leave the flying squirrel alone, Hancock quickly unpetrified it.

The flying squirrel seemed quite shameless. He said seriously, "Don't get me wrong, I just recently strained my lumbar muscles. Doberman, you didn't know that, did you? Hancock's petrification can effectively treat these minor ailments. It feels like it's reforged you."

Dauberman looked at the flying squirrel as if it were a fool and thought to himself, "Do you think I believe this?"

However, he was too lazy to pay attention to the flying squirrel, who looked serious on weekdays but was actually very reserved. Instead, he asked Hancock, "Why are you here?" "I wanted to ask you something. Didn't you go to the New World to be the boss of G-5? Why are you back to G-7?" Hancock asked curiously...

"I came back to do something." Dauberman waved his hand and said perfunctorily.

Hancock didn't ask any more questions and continued, "I came from Nine Snake Island to replenish my supplies before heading to Alabasta."

"Alabasta?" The flying squirrel was stunned for a moment, then interrupted, "I heard that things haven't been going well in Alabasta lately. It seems that Dalmatian went to Alabasta. It's been a while, and there hasn't been any news."

"You are in G-7, so you are so well-informed about the news of the headquarters?" Dauberman said with some surprise.

"From here to our headquarters, it's only about half a day's voyage via Impelton's Gate of Justice, right?" the flying squirrel complained.

"It seems that the situation is not very good. Crocodile has obtained authorization from Marijoa to recruit us, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, to go to Marijoa for help. I heard that Marijoa is going to see the strength of us, the Seven Warlords of the Sea. How boring!" Hancock said a little unhappily.

"You didn't refuse?" Dauberman asked again.

Hancock looked around and whispered, "I heard from Senior Tina that the general is also traveling there. I haven't seen him for two years. It's a good time to hug him so that he won't forget me."

It's not a feeling of love. In fact, neither Hancock nor Diarmait had any involvement in such messy things. When Diarmait knew Hancock, she was still a little kid.

At that time, he had already gone to Marineford to serve as an admiral, and Hancock was raised in G-7 by Gion. The two had little contact, so how could they have any feelings for each other?

The main reason why Hancock wanted to show up to Diarmait was because she herself could be considered a member of the G-7 faction or the Diarmait faction, and her identity was indeed a navy.

Especially now with Amazon. Lily relies on cooperation with the Navy to make a good living.

So, it made sense for Hancock to go and establish some kind of relationship with an extremely influential admiral within the navy, the initiator and actual controller of the Calm Belt Project! Doberman nodded. "Come to think of it," he said. "After you became one of the Shichibukai, the admiral never met you, did he? Did he assign you any missions? Like with Smoker?"

"Never. Being one of the Shichibukai is not much different from not being one. I still have to take care of Amazon and Lily's people all day long, and cooperate with the navy to do those things in the Calm Belt. I don't have any other tasks." Hancock shook her head.

After a brief pause, Hancock continued, "This time I'm going to Alabasta to show him my might and take care of those idiots like Crocodile. Let him see my strength and ability. Who knows, maybe he'll pay more attention to me..."

"Then I look forward to your performance." Dauberman responded with a smile.

"It's not just you, right?" the flying squirrel suddenly asked again.

"Well, I heard that Doflamingo, Jinbe and that number one swordsman were also recruited." Hancock nodded.

After a pause, Hancock continued, "Doflamingo seems to have directly refused the call-up... That guy is really arrogant."

"He has someone above him." Dauberman raised his eyebrows.

After chatting for a while, Hancock quickly freed the petrified creatures, then purchased a large amount of supplies from G-7, preparing for a non-stop expedition, heading straight to Alabasta!

Chapter 352 Doflamingo: Aren’t you guys kidding me?

On Fishman Island, Doflamingo stepped onto the harbor, looked at Gladius in front of him and asked, "Did you find it?"

The Don Quixote family is naturally also doing their best to finally defeat Rob Lucci.

Doflamingo has a lot of businesses, and his managers are scattered throughout the New World and even all over the world.

Gladius arrived at Fishman Island two days earlier than Doflamingo.

Gladius nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Young Master, he is no longer on Fishman Island."

"Did that damn bastard finally escape from the New World?" Doflamingo said with a slightly unhappy tone.

Tiqi on the side asked directly: "You nodded and then shook your head, what do you mean?"

Gladius glanced at Teach without saying anything, and Doflamingo then asked, "What's the new information?"

"There are rumors that Rob Lucci left Fishman Island with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sea Knight Jinbe." Gladius explained.

"Seven Warlords of the Sea? Jinbe?" Doflamingo frowned, as if he had discovered something or thought of something.

Teach's eyes also changed slightly. Could it be that what that bastard Lucky said was true?

Is he really a marine?

Otherwise, why would he leave with the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why did he apply for their protection?

So where was his next stop? Marineford? Judging by the timeline, if he'd really gone to Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, he'd probably be there by now, already enjoying himself...

And once the Dark-Dark Fruit is handed over to the Marine Headquarters, thinking about this... Teach is a little desperate. Looking at the entire ocean, no one can snatch anything from the Marine Headquarters now.

Do you think everyone is Shiji? So hardworking?

Doflamingo and Teach had their own guesses in mind. Glancing at Teach, Doflamingo didn't discuss anything with Gladius here, but asked again, "Where did they go?"

"According to the intelligence we received at the trading point in the Sabaody Archipelago, Jinbe's ship has never arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. The latest eyewitness intelligence was just received this morning. Jinbe's ship is heading to the Sea of ​​​​Water Seven. As for the destination, we have not yet received an answer, but no one should have disembarked on the way. In other words, that Rob Lucci should also be on his way to Water Seven." Gladius reported quickly.

At this point, Doflamingo's eyes lit up with understanding, and he nodded, "I see. We've been chasing for so long, let's take a break today. Prepare the fastest ship and leave Fishman Island tomorrow!"

Gladius naturally had no objection. After all, he was Doflamingo's subordinate, and everything was based on his young master.

Tiqi said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "It's the same if we rest on the boat, right?"

"If you're in such a hurry, why don't you just go after them first? I'm waiting for intelligence and a report of their destination. Perhaps Jinbe won't even stay in Water Seven." Doflamingo glanced at Teach impatiently, then added, "Are you telling me what to do?"

"Hmph!" Teach snorted coldly, ignored Doflamingo, turned around and left.

He knew that the bastard Doflamingo must have discovered something, but didn't want to tell him.

This was normal, after all, there were many things he hadn't told Doflamingo, like Rob and Lucci claiming to be a navy or something.

After all, the two parties are just in a cooperative relationship and do not have much trust in each other, so it is normal for each party to keep something in reserve.

It's just that everyone has the same goal now, so they can barely get along together.

After Teach left, Gladius said again, "Young Master, we actually suspect that Jinbe and Rob Lucci are both heading to Alabasta."

Doflamingo grinned wickedly and said, "Just as I thought. If this hadn't happened, I would be on my way to Alabasta right now. Jinbe must have been summoned... but... forget it. I have to contact those bigwigs. There might be some misunderstanding here."

Before in the New World, Doflamingo didn't think much about it. He just planned to keep an eye on Lucci, capture him, and take back the Dark-Dark Fruit.

But now, the latest intelligence shows that Lucci has reunited with Jinbe and is very likely to have gone to the desert country of Alabasta.

Then he had some doubts.

A long time ago, Doflamingo had suspected that Jinbe, like him, was a 'real' Shichibukai, probably Diarmait's man.

And now, this Rob Lucci is hanging out with Jinbei again, holding the Dark-Dark Fruit.

However, the person who had been entrusting him with the task of finding the Dark-Dark Fruit was none other than the great man Diarmuid.

So with Doflamingo's intelligence, how could he not figure out the relationship here?

At this moment, he had begun to suspect that Rob, the man who had plotted behind the scenes, stolen his goods, betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, and was currently fleeing. Lucci was most likely... a member of the navy, a subordinate of Diarmait.

Perhaps many of Diarmait's subordinates have received commissions regarding the Dark-Dark Fruit.

As for Rob Lucci, he was initially just lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates as a high-ranking undercover agent. But now, the Dark-Dark Fruit is more valuable to Diarmait than the Whitebeard Pirates, so the priority of the mission has also changed.

Lucci, who was supposed to be on a stealth mission, was forced to take a series of actions due to the Dark-Dark Fruit incident...

"How many undercover agents does that guy have in various factions? Rob Lucci... If I remember correctly, he should have been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates more than ten years ago, right? Has Admiral Diarmait been planning this for so many years?" Doflamingo walked into his cabin and whispered softly.

Of course, all of this was just his reasonable speculation. In fact, he probably never imagined that Diarmait had no intention of getting any information about the Whitebeard Pirates from Lucci since he let him board Whitebeard's ship. For so many years, his only targets were Teach and the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Obviously, this truth is completely illogical, so Doflamingo didn't think about it this way.

On the contrary, according to his 'correct' logic, if what he guessed was true, Lucci was Diarmait's subordinate and a member of the navy.

Then there is no doubt that the importance of the Dark-Dark Fruit has been greatly underestimated by himself.

"It's better not to be your subordinate, otherwise my work will be in vain." Doflamingo muttered to himself with a helpless tone.

If Lucci was really Diarmait's subordinate, then his efforts were in vain. He also refused the call of the Seven Warlords of the Sea because of this, which was a huge loss.

After all, Diarmait had promised him that once he handed over the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would agree to a request of his that was not excessive.

If Lucci gave Diarmait the Dark-Dark Fruit, then Doflamingo... would get nothing!

So Doflamingo secretly prayed that Lucci was not Diarmait's man.

In this case, perhaps the pursuit of the Dark-Dark Fruit will fail, but at least he still has a chance to make amends.

It's nothing but failure. The result of failure is not much different from now, and he still gets nothing.

Sitting on the sofa, Doflamingo took out the Den Den Mushi, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, adjusted his mood, then fiddled with the Den Den Mushi a few times and sent out the signal wave.

After a while, the Den Den Mushi call was picked up.

A slightly cheerful voice, seemingly in a good mood, came from Den Den Mushi: "Oh? Doflamingo? Ah, yes, you've also received a call from the Shichibukai, right? Planning to come to Alabasta?"

Doflamingo's face twitched slightly. He had already heard a lot of information from just one sentence. He asked helplessly, "Admiral Diarmait, if I'm not mistaken, are you in Alabasta now?"

"Yes, that's right. I'm in Albana. It's a really great place. It's the oldest country of mankind and it lives up to its reputation. It has many characteristics passed down from generation to generation that cannot be felt in the outside world. Hahahaha, the people of Alabasta are so enthusiastic. It deserves to be a desert country..." Diarmait said with a big laugh.

At this time, Diarmait was eating a grilled lizard with a heavy taste, and he even had a skewer of grilled scorpions in his hand. Sitting in front of him was Vergo, who also had some strange grilled skewers in his hand, which seemed to be small animals in the desert.

The two of them ate barbecue skewers and drank the store's homemade beer, having a great time.

Tina looked at the two foodies eating these strange things with disgust, and sat far away, as if she was afraid of being infected with some virus by them, eating desert-specific pastries in the corner.

Before Doflamingo could speak, Diarmait suddenly said, "Ah, by the way, I'm on vacation in Alabasta, so if you want to ask me about the situation and intelligence in Alabasta, I really don't know, hahahaha."

Doflamingo didn't even bother to ask about Alabasta's situation. Instead, he said with a somewhat resentful tone, "No, I'm only contacting you, Admiral, to confirm one thing..."

Diarmait devoured the lizard's leg in one gulp, nimbly spat out some bones, and then calmly asked, "What's the matter?"

"That killing machine, Rob Lucci, is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, the guy with a bounty of over 700 million Berries. Is he your man?" Doflamingo asked directly.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then he put down the skewers and took a sip of beer. During this time, he seemed to have understood something and asked in a strange tone: "Hey, hey, are you saying that the merchant fleet that Lucci and his men robbed belonged to you, Doflamingo? Did they steal the Dark-Dark Fruit from you?"

Doflamingo almost cursed out loud, damn, he's really yours! ?

Damn it!
