Big brother, I want to become the strongest pirate in the world!

Don Quixote Doflamingo.

Bellamy held the bounty poster, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed it back into his pants.

He ran out of the tavern again.

……

"So, Xiao Feng, is there still no naval branch here?"

"Of course not, how could a well-equipped naval branch be located in a place that doesn't look very wealthy?"

Kazan watched as Bon Clay used the Imitation Fruit to turn him back into his original form, then sighed.

Expected.

"Monet, have you replenished your supplies yet?"

"Ok!"

"Then let's continue."

"Quack quack! Tangtang's tired!"

Kazan's expression hardened, and he sighed. He had indeed been a bit too hasty.

Since leaving Trembling Island, they have been spending almost all their time at sea, only replenishing their supplies when they encounter an island before setting sail again.

"Then... let's rest here for a few days."

"Uh-huh!"

Kazan held Sugar in his arms, inhaling the sweet scent of a young girl emanating from her, before leading Bon Clay and Monet to find a place to rest.

Bang!

boom!

Da da da da da!

Kazan, holding Sugar, dodged a barrage of stray bullets and looked at the two gangs that had suddenly started fighting in the distance.

"There's no peaceful place in the North Sea. Capone Becky shouldn't have been born in the West Sea; he should have come to the North Sea."

A few minutes later.

Kazan, who had been sitting on the street for a while, stared blankly at Monet flying back with a piece of paper in her hand.

What is this?

"I don't quite understand."

"...It seems I'll have to teach you to read and write some more often."

Kazan covered his head and shook his head, realizing that these kids had never received any education from childhood to adulthood, and he still had to fulfill his parental responsibilities.

"Let me see it."

Kazan took the paper from Monet's hand and examined it closely.

Three minutes later.

Kazan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"This kind of thing... it doesn't seem like something an ordinary thug could get his hands on..."

"Brother, what's this?"

"Kazan, tell me quickly, I'm dying of impatience!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I'm not telling you. This paper says that a Devil Fruit has appeared on Harvest Island in the North Sea, and the Donquixote Family is going to hold an auction to bid for it."

"Shall we go?"

"Go... Although this thing looks like some kind of trap, as long as the news about this Devil Fruit is true, that's fine. And even if it's from the Donquixote family, it can't pose a fatal threat to us. If we can't beat them, we can just run away. If this Devil Fruit is pretty good, we'll snatch it and prepare it for Sugar."

"Kazan, how do you know this is real?"

"Idiot, isn't there a picture on this? If you can't read, you're practically blind!"

Kazan smeared the paper directly on Bon Clay's face and said in a deep voice, full of disappointment.

Of course, the key point is... given Don Quixote's status in the North Sea and Doflamingo's inherent arrogance, it's unlikely he would lie about this kind of news.

Their target this time is probably us, who stole the Snow-Snow Fruit before.

"Hmph... We're just looking for an opponent, so let the Don Quixote family be our whetstone."

"Kazan, isn't that dangerous?"

"No, apart from Doflamingo, there shouldn't be anyone who knows Armament Haki. And regardless of whether they do or not, they would be in a passive and defensive position against Monet, who can fly."

"Monet-chan... is she going to fight too? What about Sugar?"

"Isn't there you? You can just change your face and hide near the ship with Sugar."

"Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you going to fight?"

"You haven't even mastered Armament Haki, what kind of trash are you going to fight? Go protect Sugar."

"Monet didn't know Armament Haki either!"

"Monet was a nature writer!"

"Ah... okay."

Kazan looked around and spotted a tavern!

Nice!

In the North Sea, these taverns are natural intelligence organizations, knowing all sorts of shady things, which is one of the reasons why they can continue to operate in such chaotic waters.

"Let's go ask for directions."

……

Beihai, Harvest Island.

A plaza filled with the mutilated corpses and severed limbs of various gangs, completely covered by bodies.

"Hey, Doflamingo, will the person who took that fruit come back?"

"Fufu, I don't know either... Even if we come, we might not be able to find it."

"Hey, then what's the point of holding this auction?"

"You idiot Torrebol, have you forgotten that we're still short of start-up capital for that business we're planning to do? This time it's just about selling fruit and hunting some valuable heads on the side."

"What?! I thought they were trying to lure out the thief who stole that Devil Fruit and kill him!"

"Fufufufu, although I don't know what that Devil Fruit is, it's definitely not the one I'm looking for... so, it doesn't matter."

"But if we really find that person... we'll definitely have to take care of them, right?"

A tall, burly Billy Khan spoke in a high-pitched, thin voice, uttering ruthless and merciless words.

Despite this bizarre and contradictory situation, none of Don Quixote's family members laughed.

Doflamingo nodded, but the increasingly gloomy sky obscured his expression.

An occasional flash of lightning illuminated his expression for that fleeting moment.

Smiling evilly.

Chapter 018 Arrangement

At sea, two pirate ships are linked together, and one of them is on board.

"Wait! We mean no harm! We're here to cooperate, and we recognize you! Please let us meet 'Red Dog'!"

"what?"

Just as Bon Clay was about to make his move, he was stunned, and then shouted at Kazan on the other ship.

Kazan and Monet arrived shortly afterward.

Kazan glanced at the pirate crew opposite him, then beckoned with his hand, and Monet handed him two bounty posters.

"The Monkey Pirates, with a captain named 'Long-Armed Ape' Tiger Head and a vice-captain named 'Red-Haired Gorilla' Tiger Brain, costing 62 million."

"What do you want with my brother?"

Kazan pushed away Monet, who was leaning in close, and then looked at the two hairy Billys in front of him, each standing 2.78 meters tall.

Judging from their names, you can tell they are the Zoan-type Long-Armed Ape Fruit and the Zoan-type Red-haired Gorilla Fruit. The Navy really knows how to name things.

I wonder what title they'll give me in the future.

"Speak, what's the matter? If you can't explain it clearly, then you can be my little brother's whetstone."

"We've been following you for a while now. You're planning to go to Harvest Island for Doflamingo's auction, aren't you?"

"Yes, that's right, to make a long story short."

“Alright, here’s the plan: we intend to sabotage this auction, destroy the Don Quixote family, and then make a name for ourselves in the North Sea! But we’re not strong enough, however… if you join us… we can give it a try!”

"You want to take action against the strongest in the North Sea, surely it's not just for fame?"

“That’s right… there’s another reason… Doflamingo killed our brother, and we want him to pay for it in blood.”

"And what are our benefits?"

"We can rob everything at the Don Quixote family auction for you! We're quite powerful in Beihai!"

"Alright, I agree! I'll make the first move against Doflamingo, and then you can make your move. There's one more thing: you guys aren't enough to deal with Doflamingo. If you have any brains, call some more people."

“I understand! We’ve been preparing to take action against them for a long time. Besides our ‘Monkey Pirates,’ there are three other pirate crews and two local gangs from Harvest Island. They are all top members of the North Blue organizations. We were planning to find some more helpers, but as long as the strongest in the West Blue is willing to take action, the Donquixote Family is destined to be destroyed!”

"Hehe, you seem quite confident in us. Alright then, see you on Harvest Island."

Kazan waved and turned to lead Bon Clay and Monet back to his ship.

Behind.

"Boss, do you trust them to be okay?"

"No problem! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have to seize it. You saw it yourself, that transvestite alone could take on both of us, how could that 'Red Dog' be weaker than him?"
