Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

After all, I won't let you work for nothing after it's all done. I can give you two billion of the five billion Berries.

As for the remaining three billion Berries and the Op-Op Fruit, they're all mine!

Upon hearing Wood's exorbitant offer, Diaz Barrerus's first instinct was naturally to disagree.

Even if the two sides cooperate, the "Op-Op Fruit" still belongs to their pirate crew, while Wood's side gets nothing. Afterwards, he actually wants 60% of Beli's spoils, including the "Op-Op Fruit".

If the "Operation Fruit" is converted into 5 billion Berries, Wood alone would have taken 80% of the spoils!

"Is this the cooperation you speak of? I'm sorry, but I see absolutely no sincerity in your words."

Upon hearing Wood's plan for the spoils, Dias Barreus was so angry he laughed. He had thought Doflamingo's appetite was already huge enough, but he hadn't expected this "naval traitor" to be no better.

“Dias Barrerus, you need to understand this: without me, you wouldn’t even be able to leave this island alive, let alone get a share of the money.”

I'm already doing you a huge favor by giving you 20% of the spoils.

"The fruit of the surgery is yours? It's only because I went to the trade fair to alert them that you're here; otherwise, do you think you'd be standing before me now, bargaining with me?"

Doflamingo's current strength is definitely not as formidable as it will be more than ten years later; at the very least, his Devil Fruit ability has certainly not yet reached the awakening stage.

Even so, Don Quixote's other subordinates were no pushovers either, and with the World Government on top of that, Wood didn't really have much confidence in confronting both sides head-on.

The system's task was simply to grab the "operation fruit," but the real prize was the five billion pegories, which Wood was also extremely envious of.

However, if one wants to have the best of both worlds while minimizing risks, then the existence of Dias Barrerus is necessary.

Although Diaz Barreus negotiated with Wood for a long time afterward, Wood refused to budge, so Diaz Barreus eventually had to agree.

As Wood said, Diaz Barrerus has no other choice now.

Diaz Barrerus's bargaining stemmed from two reasons: firstly, he was genuinely dissatisfied with the profit-sharing arrangement, and secondly, he was testing Wood's limits.

Wood's unwillingness to budge also reflects that he is unlikely to abandon his benefactors after using them; otherwise, he could have been "generous" enough to offer a satisfactory price.

The reason for such caution is that Diablos Barreus was terrified of Doflamingo, and he was equally unable to resist Wood's strength. He was afraid that he would also be used as a tool.

Chapter 206 Wood's Naval Code Name

After finalizing the cooperation with Diaz Barrelus, Wood contacted Corazon, who served as an officer in Don Quixote, using the contact information given to him by Marshal Sengoku.

When Corazon arrived at the agreed-upon location and met Wood in person, his expression was one of extreme shock.

Because he really didn't expect that Wood, the naval traitor who had been causing trouble in Impel Down, assassinating a branch captain, and storming Enies Lobby during this period, was actually a super pirate rookie with a bounty of one billion, but was actually a naval spy in secret!

It's important to know that Impel Down, the Marine branch, and Enies Lobby are all important institutions under the World Government.

Wood's previous actions had practically humiliated the World Government, and this very person was actually a spy for the Navy, just like himself!

The sacrifices that Marshal Sengoku made to cover up Wood's identity were too great!

If Wood's identity is exposed in the future, wouldn't that offend Impel Down and Enies Lobby to death?

"You must be Wood, the super rookie naval traitor who has been making headlines at sea recently."

This island is the territory of our Don Quixote family. May I ask what brings you here, sir?

Most undercover agents keep a low profile and try to minimize their presence, but the naval traitor Wood can be considered a prominent figure on the high seas recently.

Although the other party did indeed appear at the location agreed upon with the Navy, out of caution, Corazon did not reveal his true identity immediately, but instead put on the airs of a Don Quixote family executive.

"Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote Rosinandi, there's no need to test him anymore. We're all traitors, so it's only right to be cautious. But my identity is perfectly legitimate."

Your naval number is 01746, your code name is Xiaomiguo, and you are directly under the command of the Warring States Marshal.

My naval identification number is 09527, my codename is "Dark Dragon," and my rank is Navy Captain (headquarters).

Upon hearing Wood's words, Corazon immediately dispelled his last remaining doubts and used the power of the Silence-Silence Fruit to erect a soundproof barrier around them.

If Corazon had any doubts about Wood before, he had no doubts after Wood accurately called out his naval number and code name.

After all, only a handful of high-ranking naval officers knew his naval identification number and code name. If Wood were truly a pirate, he would have no way of knowing this level of intelligence.

"I'm sorry, Colonel Wood. I was just being cautious and safe. After all, I really didn't expect that such a prominent figure would be from the Navy."

Moreover, the codename "Dark Dragon" suggests that Colonel Wood was among the most promising individuals at headquarters.

Having been with the Donquixote Family for so long, Corazon wasn't completely ignorant; many special naval commanders in the Navy Headquarters had code names.

Because of certain interests of the Warring States marshals, those colors combined with animal codes generally indicated that they were not exactly easy to deal with.

Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—Doflamingo, who has connections with the World Government, even knows that the three of them are the designated future three admirals.

Then there's the recently famous "Momosasagi" and "Chaton," who reportedly set multiple records at the naval academy.

Previously, Wood was just an ordinary Marine without a codename, but after Sengoku contacted Wood last time, he said that in order to make it easier to verify his identity in the future, he gave Wood the codename "Dark Dragon".

When Wood first heard this codename, he was completely dumbfounded, because a codename with a color and an animal—that was proof of the strength of the Marine Headquarters!

Having been given such a title, will he still be able to return to his hometown as a mere colonel?

"Dark" means black, indicating that Wood, as an undercover agent, is hidden in the darkness.

The dragon is a giant sea serpent that lurks in the deep waters, a metaphor for Wood's undercover identity, waiting for him to emerge from the water and transform into a dragon.

Although the explanation given by Sengoku was reasonable and well-founded, Wood still felt a bit of a headache when he first heard the code name.

Corazon has short blond hair, wears a red hood with a heart-shaped decoration at the end of the drawstring, is dressed in a black feather coat, has clown makeup on his face, and a cigarette in his mouth, making him look quite comical and flamboyant.

But this is Corazon's daily appearance in the Don Quixote family, and also his camouflage.

Because of his status as Doflamingo's "younger brother," Rosinante became a member of the Donquixote Family, despite his lack of actual strength.

"Colonel Wood, I believe Marshal Sengoku has already explained the specifics to you."

So, what are your plans or intentions for the future?

After confirming that the visitor, Wood, was indeed a member of the Navy, Corazon was both pleasantly surprised and somewhat disappointed.

To his surprise, his intelligence had only been sent out a short time ago, yet the Sengoku Marshal's side had already acted so quickly.

The disappointment was that only Wood himself came to Minnion Island.

In fact, if Wood really possesses the rumored strength to defeat Rear Admiral Momousagi and even hold his own against the naval hero Garp, Corazon would have quite a bit of confidence in him.

Unfortunately, upon learning that Wood was a naval mole and that his rank was only one level higher than his own as a naval captain, Corazon felt that the rumors were probably a bit exaggerated.

Although Wood, like Akainu and other genius marines, has a special codename, the others are at least "admiral-level" marines, while Wood is only a "coach-level" marine.

It is clear that Wood's potential currently exceeds his actual ability, and the records and rumors about him may have been released by the Warring States Marshal to promote him.

Having infiltrated the Donquixote Family for so long, Corazon knew all too well how formidable Doflamingo and the other executives were, and with the World Government's backing, he genuinely didn't believe Wood could challenge either side.

No… it should be said that someone like Wood would find it difficult to even stir up trouble on the island of Minnion.

If the waters aren't stirred up, how can Corazon take advantage of the chaos to snatch the "Operation Fruit" to cure Law's illness?

"There must be a plan. After all, even if I'm stubborn, I can't directly challenge both the World Government and the Donquixote Family."

Therefore, your cooperation is needed for this matter, Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote Rosinandi.

Moreover, after this incident, you might not be able to stay in the Don Quixote family anymore, and there might even be some danger involved.

Under the influence of the soundproof barrier, Corazon listened briefly to Wood's plan and, after some hesitation, finally agreed to it.

Chapter 207 Is there a traitor among us?

Since deciding to steal the "Operation Fruit" to cure Law's illness, Corazon has been determined to take a risk.

Although Wood's plan was dangerous, it had a certain probability of success and was more reliable than him going it alone to seize the "surgery results".

A day later, Dias Barreus, who was supposed to go elsewhere to trade with the World Government, suddenly contacted Don Quixote and said that he would like to change the trading location to this island of Minion.

The agreed-upon trading location was suddenly changed, rendering all the Donquixote Family's previous arrangements on the trading island futile.

"Dias Barreus, you're putting me in a difficult position. I had already discussed things with the World Government, and changing the transaction location at this last minute will only cause them dissatisfaction."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo's eyes behind his sunglasses flashed with a dangerous light. It was clear that Diablo's last-minute decision to change the transaction location displeased him.

Even Doflamingo wondered if the other party had seen through his plan to double-cross him.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for Diaz Barrelus to suddenly say he wanted to change the trading location.

"My trading partner is the World Government. With the strength of a third-rate pirate crew like mine, I have no power to resist whatever they want to do."

"Giving me the home ground is to ensure the transaction goes smoothly. If the World Government can't even fulfill this simple request, then this transaction is off."

After saying this, Diablo Barreus didn't give Doflamingo a chance to speak again and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo, on the Den Den Mushi's side, angrily crushed the receiver in his hand after hearing and seeing that the Den Den Mushi on the table had stopped moving.

"Notify Diamanti and Torrepol to return. The original island for the transaction has changed. Tell them to come to Minion Island as quickly as possible."

The Donquixote Family's system is based on playing cards, with Doflamingo, the captain, being the "Joker," or the Joker.

His four subordinate officers are Pica of Spades, Corazon of Hearts, Torrepol of Clubs, and Diamante of Diamonds.

After agreeing on the time and place for the transaction with Diablos Barreus, Doflamingo sent Trebol and Diamante to the island to make some preparations.

After all, even for the Donquixote Family, wiping out all the people from the World Government in one fell swoop was no easy task.

To avoid making a mistake, some preparation is necessary.

Now, those who are by his side are Pica, who is not good at speaking, or rather, does not like to talk, and his younger brother Corazon, who is considered to be mute.
