Magic Valley Town, damaged streets.
"What the hell are those two guys? Weren't they fighting for their lives just now? How did they become partners in an instant?"
Perona was speechless as she looked at Ares and Urouge who were being so friendly with each other.
"Hehe, alright. Perona, you have to get used to it. Ares is just that kind of guy after all."
Louis lost his ability and returned to his original appearance with a look of "as expected".
"Tsk, really, I got beaten for nothing."
Spike rubbed his red and swollen cheek and complained helplessly.
"Hahaha, all right, guys!"
When Ares saw that his companions had woken up, he laughed and took Urouge towards them.
"Urouge will be our partner from now on. Let's welcome him! Hahahaha!"
Ulki rubbed his buzz cut and looked at the little kids in front of him embarrassedly.
"Haha, I suddenly feel like I might have made a wrong decision. Ares, I'm not the only adult in your pirate group, am I?"
"Hahaha, that's right, Urouge. Right now, you're the only one in my Pirate Chart. But don't worry, we'll be able to go out to sea in ten years at most."
Ares spoke to Urouge as a matter of course, and he looked very relaxed.
“… … ..”
Ulki was speechless, regretting a little bit that he agreed to join Ares' team.
"Fufufufu, hey, I really got to see a pretty good show."
Just when Ares and his friends were chatting happily, a sinister laugh suddenly interrupted them.
Ares looked towards the person on the rooftop who was laughing.
The man had golden hair, wore red sunglasses, a black suit, black gloves, and a very sexy pink feather coat draped over his back.
"Hey, isn't this Tenyasha, Doflamingo? What do you want from me, young master?"
Ares asked as he looked at Doflamingo with a relaxed expression.
"Fufufu, Master Ares, I just met you here by accident and came over to say hello."
Doflamingo jumped down from the roof and walked up to Ares.
"But, I also happen to need to talk to your father about something. I wonder if you could tell me where your father is?"
Ares looked at Doflamingo for a while, then pointed to a tavern in the distance.
"My father is right there. If you want to see him, go ahead. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here. I don't have time to entertain you right now."
After saying that, Ares ignored Doflamingo.
Doflamingo looked at Ares, his forehead brimmed with blue energy when he heard his words, and his fists clenched, but he returned to normal almost instantly.
"Fufufu, I see. Thank you very much for Master Ares's guidance."
Doflamingo laughed strangely and left directly towards the tavern where Rocks was.
"Ares, what does that guy want from Uncle Rocks?"
Louis asked Ares curiously.
"Who knows? Who cares? If he has any bad intentions, Dad will kill him."
Ares didn't care what Doflamingo's purpose was.
"Alright, let's find a place to have a good meal and celebrate Urouge's joining us!"
"oh!!!!"
Several people walked happily towards a pub together.
Doflamingo walked into the tavern where Rocks was and saw Rocks at a glance.
After all, Rocks was the only one in the entire tavern.
"Fufufu, it's been a long time, Captain Rocks."
Doflamingo walked up to Rocks with a strange smile and said with a laugh.
Rocks ignored Doflamingo and continued to drink and eat boredly.
Feeling ignored, Doflamingo felt a little annoyed, but he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.
After a long time, when Rocks had finished all the wine on the table, he finally looked up at Doflamingo.
The moment Rocks looked over, Doflamingo felt a terrifying aura pressing down on him.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.
"Fufu, fufu, fufufu, Captain Rocks, I have no ill intentions. I am only taking the liberty to come and see you this time because I want to discuss a cooperation with you."
Doflamingo immediately explained to Rocks the purpose of his visit.
"Cooperation? I don't think you have any qualifications to cooperate with me."
Rocks had no interest in Doflamingo's proposal.
Both Doflamingo's power and his own strength were too weak in Rocks' eyes.
"Fufufu, Captain Rocks, don't be too anxious. I think you will be very interested in my cooperation project after listening to it."
Doflamingo didn't care about Rocks' contempt and continued speaking with great confidence.
Looking at Doflamingo who was so confident, Rocks suddenly became interested.
He asked the tavern owner to bring another jug of wine, and then motioned to Doflamingo to speak.
Doflamingo understood what Rocks meant and immediately told him about the cooperation project.
"Captain Rocks, have you ever heard of pure gold?"
"Pure gold?! Do you know where this thing appeared?"
When he heard that it was pure gold, Rocks immediately became interested.
He knew what the pure gold that Doflamingo mentioned was.
He has been sending people to look for the thing that can keep people young forever, but he has not received any definite news.
Unexpectedly, Doflamingo would actually mention this in front of him this time.
Doflamingo looked at Rocks' expression and immediately realized that Rocks also knew about this.
His expression became more confident.
"Fufufu, Captain Rocks, it seems that you also know about pure gold. If you know, then I won't introduce it to you in detail."
"I want to use the conditions of the location where the pure gold appeared that I know to gain your support."
Rocks looked at Doflamingo, then nodded, indicating that he agreed to his conditions.
"Tell me, Doflamingo, if the information you gave me is true, then I agree to help you."
"Fufufu, then I would like to thank Captain Rocks again."
Doflamingo walked up to Rocks and told him the location where the pure gold appeared.
After listening, Rocks nodded, then took out a Den Den Mushi and made a call.
After the call was over, Rocks looked at Doflamingo.
"Okay, I've sent someone to the place you mentioned. Tell me what support you need from me."
Doflamingo suddenly became excited when he heard this.
"Captain Rocks, I want to take back the country that once belonged to our Don Quixote family, Dressrosa in the New World."
"I know that country is now under your protection, so please return this country to me."
Rocks looked at Doflamingo deeply.
"I agree. If you want to take that country back, you can do so. I won't send anyone to help you. However, whether you have the strength to take it back is up to you."
"Fufufu, thank you very much, Captain Rocks."
Doflamingo smiled happily and thanked him, then took his leave and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Doflamingo, you should know that if the location you give is the wrong one, then you should know the consequences."
"Fufufu, of course."
