Chapter 103: Interrogation, Negotiation, Windfall, Asking for a Monthly Pass](1/2)
"That bastard...it seems like Doflamingo really has something in his hands that we don't know about."
The blond Wulaoxing looked at the phone that was hung up on the seat, pondered for a while, and said: "Don't the man in Alabasta also know what he has in his hands? Let's ask him directly.
, it just so happens that we also need to deal with his problem."
"That's fine. Anyway, someone needs to fill Crocodile's position. If he can kill Crocodile, he is strong enough."
The Five Old Stars, who had a splayed beard, touched his beard and said: "Let Spandam go, he happens to be near Alabasta."
"It doesn't matter, just let him go!"
The bald Five Old Star raised the samurai sword in his hand and said: "Let him bring the phone bug. There are some things we must personally deal with."
"agree!"
"Then it's decided."
…
The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea in the first half.
A merchant ship flying the "Don Quixote" logo is sailing on the sea.
In the luxurious cabin, Doflamingo looked at the phone bug in front of him, and the expression on his face changed.
Through the phone call with Wulaoxing, he knew that the Navy had been in contact with Crocodile, and that guy had directly informed the World Government of his plan.
This made Doflamingo a little angry and felt that things were out of control.
Originally, he thought that he had the "handle" on Uchiha Madara, and even if he couldn't make the guy obey his words, he could at least make him temporarily cooperate with his actions. He didn't expect that he would sell himself out so quickly!
However, what did that guy say to the people in the World Government? Will the Five Old Stars call him personally to question him?
Doflamingo pondered for a while, then took out the phone number used to contact Uchiha Madara and dialed it directly.
"What's up?"
The phone was connected, and Uchiha Madara's voice came from the other side.
"What's up?"
When Doflamingo heard this indifferent voice, he couldn't help showing an angry look on his face, and said: "A trump card that can threaten the 'safety of the world'? Fufufufu, you are really holding me back."
What a big hat!”
"Isn't this bad? By saying this, doesn't it just increase your weight with the World Government? Isn't this exactly what you want?"
"Forehead……"
When Doflamingo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although I say so, I don't have that kind of thing in my hand at all..."
"No, you do!"
Uchiha Madara on the other side of the phone interrupted him directly and said: "The 'thing' I said like the World Government is real, and it is in your hands!"
"Um?"
When Doflamingo heard this, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand it, so he asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I will go back to the New World soon, and we will meet and talk then, that's it."
"you……"
Dudududu!~
Doflamingo still wanted to ask more questions, but Uchiha Madara hung up the phone.
"This bastard..."
Doflamingo looked at the hung up phone bug, his forehead twitching.
I was annoyed by Uchiha Madara's sudden stabbing, but I was somewhat looking forward to his last words.
…
The next day.
Representatives of the World Government came to Alabasta and asked to meet with Madara Uchiha.
A world government official named Spandam walked into the office of Crocodile with two very strange-looking guys with arrogant steps.
"Hey, you are the one who killed Crocodile and then pretended to be him? You didn't stand up to say hello when you saw me. Don't you know that I came to inspect you on behalf of the World Government?!
Without my nod, you wouldn’t be able to inherit the position of ‘Krokdal’!”
Spangdam, who was wearing a mask, had a very arrogant attitude. When they met, he started to sneer at Nicole Robin, who played 'Croquedale'.
"..."
Nico Robin was speechless for a while at the opening remarks of the World Government representative, and then looked at Madara Uchiha who was sitting next to him, saying that she couldn't handle such an idiot.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara stood up directly and looked at Spandam. When the latter saw this, his eyes also looked at Uchiha Madara.
When the two people's eyes met, Uchiha Madara's eyes instantly changed, switching to the "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan" state, and then... Spandam's expression became dull.
"Sir!~" X2
The two 'bodyguards' brought by Spandam saw him suddenly stagnant and appeared beside him at the same time. After trying to wake him up to no avail, they both turned their attention to Uchiha Madara.
"You guy, what did you do to Chief Spangdam!"
The one who spoke was one of the two who had long hair hanging down to the ground. His face was covered with a thick layer of white foundation, and the outline of his facial features had patterns traced with black paint.
This guy's tone of voice is a little strange.
The other had short and thin legs, light green hair, and a beard on his chin. The strangest thing was that his mouth turned out to be a zipper.
He wanted to speak, but found that the zipper on his mouth was closed, so he raised his hand to open it.
"Ah!~"
At this time, Spangdam, whose expression was dull, suddenly returned to normal.
He screamed with a horrified expression, then pulled the two 'bodyguards' down in front of him, exposed his head from between the two, looked at Madara Uchiha with a look of fear, and asked: "You...you guy"
, what did you just do to me!"
Just now, after seeing Uchiha Madara's gaze, he suddenly saw the scene of himself being tied up and brought to the execution platform, and he was so frightened.
Uchiha Madara glanced at him sideways and said, "If you don't want the scene you just saw to become reality, you'd better stop talking unnecessary nonsense."
"you you……"
When Spandam heard Uchiha Madara's words, he instinctively wanted to threaten him, but thinking of the scene he had seen before, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, then put his head back behind the two 'bodyguards' and took out a phone.
Chong, dialed the number.
"Yes, yes, I understand"
Spandam listened to the voice coming from the phone bug, then came to Uchiha Madara with the phone bug in his hand, and said: "The other side of the phone is the 'Five Old Stars', they want to talk to you in person."
Uchiha Madara glanced at him, and then said to the phone bug: "I am Uchiha Madara."
On the other side of the phone bug, the voice of a certain Five Old Stars came out from the phone bug: "We are the 'Five Old Stars', your request to Lieutenant General He to replace 'Krokdal' as the new Shichibukai
, we agreed.
However, until you prove to us that you are capable of assuming this position, we cannot reveal your true identity to the world for the time being, and we can only maintain the status quo."
Maintaining the status quo means that the World Government will temporarily remain acquiesced to the fact that he uses the identity of 'Krokdal' and the privileges of the 'Shichibukai'.
If Madara Uchiha can show his so-called 'value' next, he will announce his true identity to the world and let him officially succeed the position of 'Crocodar'.
If not, you can always use this incident as an excuse to attack him.
In this way, the initiative will always be with the World Government, and even if Uchiha Madara shows his so-called 'value', as long as the World Government does not recognize it and finally retaliates directly, there is nothing Uchiha Madara can do.
However, Uchiha Madara was not surprised when he heard this, and just asked: "Oh, how do you need me to prove it?"
The voice on the other side of the phone rang again, but it seemed to be a different person, saying: "We acquiesce in Doflamingo's plan against the red-haired pirates. Just prove it on this matter. It's just right."
You will participate, won’t you?”
"Can."
The five old stars' requests were within Uchiha Madara's expectations, so his answer was also very uncertain.
"very good!"
The voice on the other end of the phone came again, his tone seemed to be very satisfied with Uchiha Madara's attitude, and then asked: "Finally, tell us what the trump card in Doflamingo's hand is!"
Uchiha Madara hesitated for a while and replied: ""Ancient Weapon·Pluto"!"
"What!~"X5
On the other side of the phone, when I heard Madara Uchiha's answer, the voice of the five old stars came through the phone at the same time, some were surprised and some were angry!
"Doflamingo, how could he get something like that... Wait a moment, we need to discuss this matter."
Uchiha Madara said: "You can do whatever you want."
The caller didn't hang up, and you could vaguely hear the discussion coming from over there.
A few minutes later.
To be continued...
