At this time, he was still busy with his own production project.

Strive to complete the production of the mobile armor as soon as possible and unlock the third technology.

Beckman silently smoked his cigarette, while Yasopp leaned back in his chair, seemingly completely unconcerned about the enhancement stone.

"6 billion Pele!!!"

The price of the enhancement stone immediately exceeded 6 million, and the bidder was King Judge of the Germa Kingdom!

Beside him sat Ichiji, Niji, and Yuji, their arms crossed, like wooden stumps, their faces expressionless.

They also showed absolutely no interest in the auction.

Only Reiju felt that the price was simply too astonishing; 6 million Berries surpassed the price of the Supreme Greatsword and even the price of a Devil Fruit.

He thought to himself, "What a crazy auction."

However, she knew in her heart that her father Judge was determined to obtain the strengthening stone, so she just watched quietly from the side.

The price of 6 million pegories silenced the bustling auction hall.

Several seconds passed.

No one raised the price.

With a satisfied smile, Doflamingo slowly said, "600 million Berries—once!"

"..."

"6 million Berry, for the third time!"

"make a deal!!"

With the first set of enhancement stones successfully auctioned off, Doflamingo began auctioning off the next set, his heart pounding with excitement.

A series of enhancement stones were successfully auctioned off.

at this time.

Naval Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Tsuru, draped in a cloak of justice, had a cool breeze lifting a corner of her garment. A hint of guilt lingered on her weathered face as she looked at the tall figure before her.

He comforted her, saying, "Sengoku, don't feel too guilty. That was Doberman..."

Her voice choked slightly as she continued, "It was his own choice."

Before Vice Admiral Tsuru stood the imposing Fleet Admiral Sengoku, whose solemn expression was tinged with sorrow.

It is the grave of Vice Admiral Doberman of the Navy Headquarters...

Next to this tomb is another tomb, the name inscribed on the tombstone being: Don Quixote Rosinante!

On Rosinandi's tombstone, there is also an inscription.

The offspring of the giant scallop—Xiao Mi Guo!

Sengoku clenched his fists tightly, seemingly enduring immense pain and torment. He gritted his teeth and stammered, "It's all my fault... My orders were for him to offer minimal resistance upon encountering the enemy and then retreat..."

His burly body suddenly staggered, and he reached out to touch his forehead.

The frog's slightly narrowed eyes were glistening with tears.

“Sengoku, this isn’t your fault. It was all Doberman’s own choice. He just wasn’t willing to compromise. Although he didn’t manage to get rid of Doflamingo this time, he won’t be able to escape next time,” Vice Admiral Tsuru said heavily.

Many years ago, the Navy's Chief of Staff Crane was responsible for capturing the Don Quixote family on several occasions. Almost every time, they were nearly caught, but they always fell short.

Coupled with the recent undercover incident, she immediately thought of Doflamingo, but to her surprise, the World Government chose to suppress the matter.

otherwise...

The Navy would then have a perfectly legitimate reason to deal with Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, recognized by the World Government.

Sengoku stared blankly at Doberman's tombstone. His orders were for Lieutenant General Doberman to offer minimal resistance and then retreat...

But...

The result, however, was heartbreaking for the Warring States period.

In the hazy vision in his eyes, Doberman's scarred face seemed to appear.

It seemed to be saying to him:

"The word 'escape' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"Justice must never turn its back on pirates..."

Chapter 94 Luck Ability Activated

The sound slowly dissipated into the world.

Sengoku's face remained etched with a deep sorrow before he turned his gaze to the grave beside him.

Navy Lieutenant Commander—Don Quixote Rosinante!

"Big senbei!"

"Millet!"

Recalling the scene from many years ago felt as if his strong heart had been pierced by a sharp blade, causing him pain so intense that he could hardly breathe.

Those were relatives he regarded as sons.

Sengoku gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, one by one: "Do-F-Long-Ming-Ge!!"

"I will wipe out the entire Don Quixote family!!"

He seemed to be suppressing his emotions very much.

His eyes were bloodshot, making him look extremely ferocious.

Vice Admiral Tsuru could also sense the intense anger that Sengoku was suppressing, and advised him, "Sengoku... let's put the Doflamingo matter aside for now. What's next concerns the entire Navy."

"No negligence or error is allowed."

Mentioning this matter, Sengoku took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked, "How are the preparations going with the science unit?!"

His expression turned serious.

Lieutenant General Tsuru also explained the recent situation: "Production of the Pacifista has ceased, but all twenty existing Pacifistas have been upgraded. Furthermore..."

"More than forty Molong mobile armored vehicles have been completed, and there are currently dedicated naval soldiers familiarizing themselves with them."

"The naval rotation, deployment, and other tasks have all been completed."

"There is still one more thing. In order to avoid attracting the attention of pirates, the families of the Marine Headquarters have not yet been transferred. However, they have all been notified, and the transfer to the Sabaody Archipelago will take less than a day."

"Currently, the Navy Headquarters has completed the reinforcement work on 100 25-pound guns."

"Also... a batch of the secret-made Ama-no-Murakumo swords have all been upgraded to level 12 and are ready to be distributed to the vice admirals at any time."

After listening to Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Sengoku nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Then let's wait until Borsalino completes his mission and then announce to the world the execution of Portgas D. Ace."

"To make a magnificent exit on such a stage is a way of showing respect to my old rival, Whitebeard."

After saying that, the two left the cemetery.

The scene changes.

In the Golden City.

Mr. Tanaka placed a box in front of Tesoro and said respectfully, "Lord Tesoro, the box contains the enhancement stones we won in this auction."

Looking at the box on the table, Tezzolo put down his wine glass and said lightly, "Is that all?"

"Is it possible that even with money, you can't buy enhancement stones?!"

His expression turned serious.

The dancer Karina, sitting next to Tezzolo, suddenly froze, her smile vanishing and her body stiffening.

Sensing Tesoro's displeasure, Mr. Tanaka immediately replied tremblingly, "It's not that we don't have enough money, it's because of the requirements of Doflamingo's auction house. After each faction successfully bids for three sets, they can no longer bid for enhancement stones."

"So we only brought back thirty-six enhancement stones from this auction."

He explained the reasons clearly and quickly.

"Doflamingo..."

Tezzolo murmured the name to himself, then sat up straight, leaning back on the sofa, his hands resting on his knees, one hand rubbing and turning the gold ring on his finger.

Of her ten fingers, only the ring finger of her left hand was not wearing a gold ring.

He glanced at Bakara beside him and said, "You and Dess find some people to come over, and while you're at it, take a good knife from my collection room..."

"Since there's a chance of failure after enhancement to level 12... with your lucky charm, probability is practically a 100% certainty for you. I'd like to see what will be different after enhancement to level 12."

His eyes were filled with intense anticipation.

Bakara is a user of the Luck-Luck Fruit, which allows her to absorb the luck of others by touching them. This is why she asked Dais to bring some people over.

The plan was to let Bakara absorb the luck of these people and then use it to enhance their weapons.

Bakara and Desce accepted the order and left.

Tesoro felt a surge of excitement and then asked Tanaka about the auction. Mr. Tanaka recounted everything that had happened at the auction to Tesoro.

"An enhanced artificial demon?!"

Tesoro's face lit up with interest. "A man-made Devil Fruit that's been enhanced 12 times can give someone the power of a dragon? That's quite an impressive ability."

"If it were used on Des, that guy would definitely be even stronger."

"Besides... if artificial Devil Fruits were enhanced a few more times, they might possess even greater power."

His subordinate, Dais, is a muscular man who often finds pleasure in honing his physical strength and is skilled in Armament Haki.

He was also the strongest member of his team.

If paired with a powerful Devil Fruit.

He is definitely a "super tiger general"!

Meanwhile, Karina gracefully picked up the bottle and poured Tezzolo a drink, which he happily downed in one gulp.

Not long after.
