One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 89: Ming Ge and Lao Sha's Attention (First Order Request!)

"You are too presumptuous, Tezulo!"

As Doflamingo's voice fell, an undisguised murderous aura emanated from him, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense.

"Don't be so serious, Joker!"

Tesoro seemed unaware of Doflamingo's murderous intent. He just smiled lightly and threw the newspaper in his hand onto the coffee table.

"Although I also snatched the devil fruit from you, we are now close partners!"

As if he had thought of something, Doflamingo suppressed his unhappiness and put on his signature smile again.

"Speaking of which, how far have you executed your plan?"

Gilde Tesoro, this gangster stole the devil fruit from the Donquixote family a few years ago and grew up to where he is today with the power of the fruit.

The reason why he could continue to work closely with Doflamingo after provoking the Don Quixote family was because of his strength and brains!

In terms of strength, he has already developed the Gold-Gold Fruit to awakening, and is able to fight even against Doflamingo.

In terms of intelligence, he was just a small gangster at the beginning, but he was able to snatch the Golden-Gold Fruit from the Don Quixote family.

Later, relying on the power of the fruit and his own brain, he made a great name for himself in just a few years.

For Doflamingo, a precious devil fruit is far less important than a reliable partner.

And many of his future plans will still require the help of this partner.

Of course, the premise is that Tezulo's plan can be implemented smoothly.

“In fact, the main construction of Grand Tesoro has been completed!”

Picking up another glass of wine and shaking it gently in his hand, Tesoro looked very confident.

"We have the manpower ready. I have already convinced most of the people on Lavis' side."

"We have already established connections with the World Government. As long as we wait for Grand Tesoro to officially debut, we will soon become a member of the World Government and gain the support of the Navy."

"Fufufufufu, seeing that you are so well prepared, I feel relieved."

Doflamingo also picked up a glass of red wine and clinked glasses with Tesoro.

Doflamingo drank the red wine in his hand and stood up.

"Then, when Grand Tesoro is officially unveiled, I will go to support it."

"Are you leaving now?"

Looking at Doflamingo who stood up and left, Tesoro was slightly surprised.

"I just happened to be passing by you and came to take a look."

Doflamingo waved his hand and left with Baby-5 and Buffalo.

"If you run into the doctor of the Rod Pirates, I will treat him well for you."

Doflamingo paused slightly after hearing Tesoro's words, then continued to leave.

Whiskey Peak and Little Garden are not on the same route as Lavis.

The possibility of meeting Luo here is very small.

······
Alabasta, Rainy Land
This is an oasis in the desert, and it is a very prosperous place.

Since Crocodile came, this place has become more prosperous.

With the Seven Warlords of the Sea in charge, ordinary pirates dare not act rashly. Even the desert bandits and other illegal businessmen have become much more restrained.

The tallest and most luxurious building in the center of Rainland is the casino opened by Crocodile, Rain Banquet!
Snapped!
Crocodile slammed a newspaper on the desk.

"The little brats nowadays are really daring."

Crocodile took a deep puff of the cigar and let out a long breath, but he was not too angry. The Baroque Works was just a tool for him to make money. Even the members of the work didn't know who their boss was.

Therefore, whether it was the Rod Pirates who killed the members of Baroque Works in the North Sea, or cleared out the Baroque Works base again in Whiskey Peak, or he snatched away Daz Bonis who was about to be recruited by Baroque Works, these were not too important to Crocodile.

He had only one purpose from beginning to end.

That is to obtain information about the ancient weapon [Pluto], and then use that power to become the new Pirate King!

only···
Crocodile's gaze fell on the photos of the Rod Pirates in the newspaper, and finally stopped on the face of a black-haired girl.

"O'Hara's orphan, Nico Robin!"

"The only person in this world who could possibly know ancient characters."

Unexpectedly, even this woman joined Rod's Pirates. He had been looking for her before.

Otherwise, just kill all these little devils and then grab Nico Robin!

Crocodile glanced at the photos of the members of the Rod Pirates one by one.

Even though he had just learned from the newspaper that the Lodo Pirates had escaped from the subordinates of former Navy Admiral, [Black Arm] Zephyr, Crocodile did not think that he could not wipe out the Lodo Pirates.

Zefa is just a remnant of the old times!

But unfortunately, the messenger never came back.

A hint of thought flashed across Crocodile's eyes.

The Messenger of Misfortune is the person in the Baroque Works who is responsible for delivering messages and punishments, and generally also has the task of collecting intelligence for the company.

When the Rod Pirates wreaked havoc at Whiskey Peak, the Messenger of Misfortune should have been there as well.

However, no news of the unfortunate messenger has been received so far, and no relevant intelligence has been sent back.

"Were they also killed by the Rod Pirates?"

Crocodile whispered to himself.

It would be really inconvenient without them!
From this perspective, there is one more reason to defeat the Rod Pirates.

······
Uncharted waters, aboard the Polaris.

"tasty!!"

Rhodes raised the chopsticks in his hand and gave a heartfelt exclamation!
"too delicious!!"

"Simply can not stop!"

"Hey, Gray, you can dismantle that food processor of yours."

Peckinhachi, Bepo and the other two touched their round bellies, half lying on the ground, and spoke to Gray.

"You guys are too heartless. Who said before that food cooked by a food processor is the most delicious food in the world?"

"Sorry, I lied, Minina's cooking is the best in the world!!"

"Great, you all like my cooking!"

Minina brought another large portion of food and placed it on the dining table. A bright smile appeared on her face, and her eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"Aaaaaah!! Minina's smile is also the best in the world!"

"If you like, eat more. There's a big pot of food inside!"

"Sorry, I don't eat much..."

The trio took one look at the newly served food, then looked at their own stomachs and slowly shook their heads.

The aroma of the food was still tempting them, but their strength really didn't allow it!
They were completely unable to eat.
