New world.
Dressrosa, Royal Palace.
Inside the empty palace, with the light coming in from the glass windows, one can see four huge seats placed on the side.
These four seats are beautifully crafted, with different shapes and patterns, namely: hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs.
These are the seats for the highest-ranking officials of the Don Quixote family, but these people are not sitting there because they are out on business.
In addition to these four seats, there is also a throne at the top of the palace.
On the throne.
A three-meter-tall man with short blond hair, wearing sunglasses and a pink feather coat was sitting on top.
On the counter next to it.
The Den Den Mushi has been answered.
"Young Master, your human auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago has been closed down by the garrison major general, Charlotte Coles."
All members of the Don Quixote Family respectfully call Doflamingo "Young Master", and only a very few senior officials have other titles.
"Yeah?"
Doflamingo slowly raised his head, revealing a defiant face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a chilling smile.
"Yes, young master."
The Den Den Mushi's subordinate answered.
"I see."
Doflamingo hung up the Den Den Mushi, a ray of light reflected in his red sunglasses, and then he let out his own unique laugh.
"Hehehehehe!"
"Are you finally going to fight back?"
Because of what happened with Vergo, and because Doflamingo had some thoughts about the newly promoted Major General Charlotte Coles, he issued a bounty on his family in the underground world.
However, the mission failed in a rare incident!
The forces of the Navy Headquarters also followed the clues and traced back to the Don Quixote family.
But due to his status as the king of Dressrosa and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Marine Headquarters could only warn him and ask him to withdraw the underground bounty.
These days, Doflamingo has been waiting for Charlotte Coles' reaction.
He wondered what the young rear admiral would do when he found out that he was the mastermind behind the bounty on his family from the underworld.
It seems now.
The other party has started to act!
Doflamingo leaned back on the throne and continued to make that unique sound.
"Hehehehehe!"
"This world is a little too boring. We need to create new fun. I wonder how far you can go. I'm looking forward to it!"
…
…
At this time, the Sabaody Archipelago.
Office of the High Commander of the Naval Station.
After Matthew sorted out and confirmed the results of this operation, he reported with a serious look:
“Reporting to Major General Coles, this operation sealed off the auction house and arrested a total of 374 people, including 145 auction house staff and 229 slaves.
Among the slaves to be auctioned, there were 109 guilty and 120 innocent, and they have now been properly dealt with.
The amount of Baileys seized at the auction house has been strictly confirmed to be 630 million Baileys in total, which have been handed over to the World Government. "
630 million Baileys is a huge number. The average price of a slave at an auction is between one and two million.
This amount shows how many slaves were sold at the auction house in the past few months.
Coles nodded to show that he understood: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work."
"Yes." Matthew saluted and walked out of the office.
Coles continued to look at the information he obtained from the Navy Headquarters.
Donquixote Doflamingo is the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea today.
The human auction site in the Sabaody Archipelago is not very important to it at all.
From Coles's impression of the plot, we can see this from the fact that after Luffy beat up the Celestial Dragon and created a huge chaos at the auction house, Doflamingo gave the store to Disco without much recollection.
His closure of the human auction house will not have much impact on Doflamingo's huge power.
And Coles's counterattack.
Naturally, I will not choose to stop there.
According to the impression in Coles' mind, Don Quixote Doflamingo was born a celestial dragon. Because his father, Saint Homing, gave up his identity as a celestial dragon, his family was persecuted by ordinary people and lived in extreme hardship.
At the age of ten, Doflamingo ignored his brother Rosinante's pleas and resolutely killed his father with a gun. He returned to the holy land of Marijoa with his father's head, wanting to regain his identity as a Celestial Dragon.
But the Celestial Dragons did not accept their "betrayal", so Doflamingo left in anger, vowing to turn this world dominated by the Celestial Dragons upside down.
Afterwards, Doflamingo met Trebol, Pica, Diamante and Vergo, ate the String-String Fruit, and with the help of the four, embarked on the road of darkness.
After returning to the North Sea, Doflamingo recruited soldiers and established the Don Quixote Family, and many cadres also joined it at that time.
To seize the position of Seven Warlords of the Sea.
As a pirate, Doflamingo robbed ships from countries around the world that were tributes to the Celestial Dragons' "Heavenly Gold" in order to threaten the World Government.
At that time, the World Government was intimidated by the fact that he was a Celestial Dragon and could not attack him, but according to the world power order, it could not stop the Celestial Dragons from paying tribute.
The government was racking its brains over this, and finally had to accept Doflamingo's conditions and let him join the Seven Warlords of the Sea authorized by the World Government.
After seizing the title of Shichibukai, Doflamingo went to Dressrosa in the New World and, with his powerful strength, overthrew King Riku's regime and became the new King of Dressrosa.
Since then, the power of the Don Quixote family began to expand rapidly, and the industries run by its pirate groups were involved in weapons, drug trafficking and other illegal activities.
Therefore, the human auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago only occupies a very small position in Doflamingo's mind.
Coles looked at the detailed information in his hand and gradually fell into deep thought and consideration.
If he wants to launch a powerful counterattack against Doflamingo's huge power, he must suppress and clean up his important illegal industries.
Among the other side's many illegal industries, arms trafficking is obviously the most profitable.
Battles take place all the time in the Grand Line, so the importance of weapons can be imagined.
Based on his impression of the plot, Coles knew that there was a trading port in Dressrosa.
That is the secret port where the Don Quixote family uses Dressrosa in the New World as their base to conduct illegal black market transactions with dark intermediaries from all over the world!
There are a large number of trading ships docked at the port, filled with illegal transactions, underground arms transportation, artificial devil fruits, etc.
However, as this trading port is the key to the Don Quixote family, it is heavily guarded and it is difficult for Coles to cause damage to it now.
Even if the World Government was informed of this news, without knowing the exact location, there would be nothing they could do, because Doflamingo could easily move ahead and leave the Navy empty-handed.
Coles continued to look at the information in his hand, his eyes moving away from the weapon and landing on the word "drugs" next to it.
This is also one of the Don Quixote family's highly profitable businesses and a very important industry.
Drugs are extremely addictive. They can cause physical and mental dependence in the user, and can also harm the body's functions and shorten lifespan.
Unlike weapons that were sold to places where wars broke out in the Grand Line, the Don Quixote family's drugs were sold to all parts of the world.
This sales channel also means that the other party's drug production base is not in the harsh environment of the New World.
Coles looked at the records in the document.
The decision has been made in my mind.
…
Marinford.
The huge white seagull flag fluttered in the wind like the roar of a fierce beast.
Naval headquarters tower, superstructure.
Kuzan, one of the three admirals of the navy, was sitting in his office, frowning as he looked at a leave request in his hand.
This leave application report was submitted by Coles, who wanted to take a seven-day vacation.
As the garrison major general of the Sabaody Archipelago, Coles had a heavy responsibility, so he had to report almost everything he asked for, such as leave, so that the Navy Headquarters could adjust and arrange personnel.
When Coles asked for leave at this time, Kuzan naturally knew that the other party wanted to fight back against Doflamingo's forces. In this way, the development of things could easily become unpredictable.
“What a hassle!”
Kuzan shook his head and sighed, but finally wrote the word "approved" on the leave request.
Because Coles' words yesterday had convinced him that he had no reason to stop a young man who was fighting back to protect his family.
