"Fufufufufu... you took something from me that you shouldn't have taken from me again, Ron."
Doflamingo's voice was perfectly imitated by the phone bug, and his expression was exactly the same as Doflamingo himself in the new world.
Ron picked up the phone and said casually: "How can you say it is again? It seems to be the same as last time, it is just a trophy obtained by killing a group of pirates."
Doflamingo was still smiling, as if he wasn't angry, and said, "It's still the same. I didn't pay much attention to you before, but now I do understand you somewhat, Ron... But that Devil Fruit is indeed useful to me. You need money to develop your power now, how about one billion Baileys? Get that Devil Fruit back from you."
Ron was a little surprised.
It's not the price of one billion beli. Even if Doflamingo offered ten billion, he wouldn't be able to get it because the Devil Fruit had already been devoured by him. He was a little surprised that Doflamingo His attitude is a little weak.
"One billion Baileys? Buying it back with money is not an attitude that suits your style."
"Fufufufu... Attitude? Of course, the attitude towards different people is different, Ron." Doflamingo smiled on the other side: "Just like if you are provoked by ants, you won't mind a kick. Trample it to death, but if the other person is a human being like you, then at least some thoughts will flash through your mind."
"This world is so realistic. Without strength, you cannot gain a foothold in the world. Now you are fully qualified to gain a foothold in this sea, and you are also very ambitious. When you develop your power, you will never just think about sitting around. To secure a position in the Shichibukai..."
Hearing Doflamingo's words, Ron couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What you said makes sense, because I have enough strength, so do you want to use negotiation to solve the problem now?"
"Yes."
Doflamingo spread his hands on the other side and smiled, saying: "If we start a war, no matter who we are, we will suffer serious losses... I can't deal with you if I go to your side, but if you come to me, not to mention you can." If you deal with me, the BIGMOM Pirates will probably not just sit idly by."
"After all that, do you want to talk about peace?"
Ron said calmly: "This is not an easy thing. Although what you said is very reasonable, at first I just ruined a deal for you, but what you want is my life. And we have taken actions for this, so if we want to negotiate peace, it cannot be settled with just one word."
Doflamingo smiled and said: "Of course, it would be the same if it were me, so I will pay one billion beli to buy back the Devil Fruit... In addition, if you are willing to accept a proposal, I can also provide you with a large number of weapons."
"What proposal."
"cooperate."
Doflamingo said: "Although I don't know what your ultimate goal is, maybe world domination? But at least at this stage, it is in the best interests of you and me to join forces. I can provide you with enough weapons and enough information, and even provide you with enough funds to allow you to develop your power faster... "
"Unfortunately, I don't really need that."
Ron said calmly: "I can develop my power without your weapons. And after I destroy you and take over your power, everything you have is mine."
"Fufufufufu... still so arrogant."
Doflamingo was not angry, and grinned: "Does your confidence come from the special troops you deployed on Sky Island? Is it called a magic force?"
Hearing Doflamingo's words, Ron's eyes flashed slightly, while Robin's expression changed... Doflamingo actually knew about Sky Island!
Doflamingo said with a hint of evil in his tone: "Don't be so surprised. Although the sky island you occupy does not have the forces arranged by me, there are my people on other sky islands. I am on the sky island." There are also my intelligence channels.”
"There is no absolutely sealed area in this world. Even Fish-Man Island and Wano Country are the same... Oh, maybe the only one that is completely sealed is the Final Island."
Ron suddenly laughed and said: "That's interesting. Your intelligence channels are indeed stronger than I thought. Not only is there Virgo in the navy, but you even have your eyes and ears on the sky island. It really surprises me."
"?!"
Doflamingo fell silent again.
After a few seconds, Doflamingo chuckled and said: "As expected of you. It seems that you didn't do anything when you were in the navy. You found out the origin of Vergo, but that information should have been released earlier. I should have just erased it."
"So Vergo also planned to kill me that time." Ron said calmly: "How should this account be settled?"
Doflamingo said: "...The weak have no right to survive, only the strong can survive. At that time, you had not yet proven that you had the power of the strong. Just like the government recruiting the Shichibukai, you also need to have sufficient strength and prestige. Only pirates who are qualified."
"In the face of interests, there is no absolute hatred. Tezoro once stole one of my Devil Fruits and caused my power to be in chaos, but we still became collaborators, relying on his financial strength. Only the Don Quixote family can achieve its current status."
Speaking of this, Doflamingo said calmly: "If there is a war between you and me, not to mention the consequences of your failure or loss of both sides... Even if you really kill me, you will not be able to fully take over my power. Such a huge organization will fall apart immediately, and without the cooperation with characters like Tezoro and Kaido, you will not be able to maintain such a huge organization."
"In comparison, if you cooperate with me, I can provide you with everything you need for development... For example, Hailou Stone, you seem to need this very much."
Ron pondered.
In fact, it is indeed not a very suitable time to eliminate Doflamingo at this point in time. The most important thing is that the BIGMOM Pirates are a bit difficult to deal with.
Even after destroying Doflamingo, he could not occupy Dressrosa and maintain the Don Quixote family's headquarters in the New World.
"Sooner or later, victory and death will be decided between us. Only one person can take the position of king. But you are right, cooperation is indeed more in line with our interests than conflict."
Ron said calmly: "But... you need to provide a basis for cooperation, because I don't really rely on cooperation with you. It's just that it's troublesome to kill you."
Doflamingo smiled and said: "How about twenty pieces of rough stone? As the first transaction of the cooperation, I will provide it to you. One billion beli will buy the devil fruit, and I will provide you with another twenty pieces." With billions of funds, you just need to let go of your sphere of influence and no longer restrict the Don Quixote family’s transactions.”
"The devil fruit is gone and was eaten by my subordinates."
