The Bearded people looked at each other, and finally Bearded took a step forward.

However, he did not count the money, but took one box and returned it, leaving the other box where it was.

"What does it mean?"

"Sir Allen, we had a good discussion yesterday. If it hadn't been for the navy yesterday, maybe a few of our lives would have been lost. After all, as you said, we cannot put our own safety at the mercy of the other party.

Judging from the many things Joker has done in the past, even getting rid of us is just a normal thing. In fact, if you hadn't intervened, we might not have gotten any of this money. Sir, not only did you not covet us

The money also protects our safety. I am not very good at talking, so the rest should be regarded as the reward for protecting our safety."

Wow, just one night has passed, and a lot of changes have occurred. These people actually have such great courage.

But what should be said clearly must be said clearly, otherwise it will be as if the navy is greedy for the money.

"We agreed yesterday that you will cooperate with me and I will guarantee your safety. This is a very fair and reasonable transaction, so you don't have to do this."

"For you, Mr. Allen, protecting us may be just a small thing, but it saved our lives. What's more, we heard that many sailors were injured in the battle with Joker's group last night. If not

Because protecting us prevents many soldiers from participating in the battle, perhaps the casualties will be lighter. This is considered as some compensation for the injured soldiers, and another thing is that we have a small request..."

"What do you think."

"We hope that Mr. Allen can take us with you when you leave here. After all, we have no other way to leave."

Allen had to look at them with admiration. In one night, these people completely understood. This was a rare thing.

In fact, neither he nor the rest of the navy took these hundreds of millions of Baileys seriously. After all, they were all people who had dealt with a lot of money in the past. Although hundreds of millions of Baileys in cash were eye-catching enough, it was just that to them.

To a certain extent, what happened yesterday protected these people, but it also saved Allen a lot of trouble. Although Doflamingo was not caught in the end, it was still a rich harvest. As he said

, which is a transaction in itself.

After the transaction is completed, if you return the money to them today, the relationship will be completely over. As for how these people will divide the money, how they will leave here with so much money, and how they will live in the future without being found by Doflamingo.

It's none of Allen's business anymore.

But these guys seemed to suddenly have an idea and were willing to keep half of the money. It seemed that everyone had lost a lot, but in this way, the security risks in the future basically disappeared.

Gee, there are a lot of smart people.

"In this case, I will accept it for my soldiers. There is still a storm outside. I will not leave here for the next two days. You can stay here with peace of mind. When you leave, a soldier will inform you of the remaining

You go talk to Smoker about it, is there no problem?"

"No problem, no problem." Bearded Beard was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Allen, we will follow the arrangements at any time."

They left very happily, and Allen was also very happy.

Suddenly there was a windfall, and the soldiers who participated in the operation this time were able to share more of the goods received. Allen would not take any of this money, but would distribute it all.

After all, he already has the most important thing in his hand - the natural type. Snow Fruit.

To be honest, as a natural fruit, even if it is not among the top batch, the Xuexue fruit is actually something that can only be encountered but not sought. How many abilities do natural fruits have in this world?

If such a fruit were to be auctioned at a large place in the Grand Line, even if it fetched one billion Baileys, Allen wouldn't think it would be unusual.

Bucky quickly came to Allen's office, looked at the money on the table, and narrowed his eyes: "Lieutenant General, is this?"

"Take the protection money left by others and divide it among everyone according to their contribution last night." Allen babbled into the box and added, "You don't have to count me in."

Bucky didn't ask why. Anyway, except when he was hunting for treasures, his mind was particularly bright. At other times, he just obeyed Allen's orders completely.

…

…

A few days passed.

In a secret place belonging to the Don Quixote family, almost everyone in the room was injured and tied up like a mummy.

In this way, Rosinandi looked a bit dazzling.

Two of the four top cadres were lost on that land, and senior cadres also suffered heavy losses. It can be said that this time the Don Quixote family suffered the most tragic casualties since its establishment.

Doflamingo's face was gloomy. It was now difficult for him to maintain the relaxed and casual demeanor in the past. He looked at Rocinante and said, "Corazon, is there any specific news from the Navy?"

Rosinandi nodded and handed a piece of information directly to Doflamingo. The lives and deaths of the two top cadres were unknown, and Torebol was seriously injured. All aspects of the family's intelligence were temporarily handed over to him.

And the information he has in hand now is what he obtained at any cost by mobilizing many underground forces of the Don Quixote family in Beihai.

Of course, the most accurate one does not come from their intelligence system, but from his own line.

"Diamanti and Pica are out of danger, and their injuries are not serious. The same is true for Pique. Only Gradius... he used self-destruction to delay the escape of others, and no bones were left...

"When Doflamingo read this, he clenched his hands tightly and let out a laugh like a night owl, "Fufufufufufu, it's really amazing! Navy hero Allen, with just one shot, he let

The Don Quixote family suffered such a heavy loss, and I also lost an important family member."

"Dover, we can't just let it go." Torebol followed, "Gradius must not die in vain like this. The majesty of the Don Quixote family can be trampled on like this. Blood debt must be paid with blood."

Come back!"

Doflamingo turned his head and glanced sideways at him: "Why? Go find that naval hero? Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that compared with that guy, the family power that we were proud of in the past is...

It doesn't count at all. If it wasn't our first contact and he didn't have any experience with my abilities, it's still unknown whether I could escape from his hands. If I take revenge on him now, it will just be a death.

I think he would be very happy for us to do that."

Torebol's mouth twitched, thinking that it was indeed the case. They faced that terrible navy with the most powerful lineup, but they all suffered such heavy losses. If they wanted to take revenge now, they would be dead.

"Then let's deal with the other navies in the North Sea. Doesn't he care about the 77th branch base? We can choose that as a target..."

"Enough Torrebol!"

Doflamingo gave a low drink, "After experiencing this, hasn't it made you let go of your arrogance? In the past, our Don Quixote family had too smooth sailing in the North Sea. We were so complacent that we forgot about this.

The world is actually very scary. Compared with the first half of the Grand Line and even the New World, the North Sea is just a small pond. We can be king and dominate in this small pond, but in the New World, it is nothing at all.

Not to mention the Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Kaido Pirates, the pirate emperors of the New World. Even the Red-Haired Pirates, who have just entered the New World, have nothing like them.

There are many new pirates with fruit abilities, and they have already achieved great success.

A life that is too comfortable will make people lose themselves slowly without realizing it. In fact, I am the same. Think about it carefully, how long has it been since I personally fought. Think about how many of you have not mastered it until now.

We are domineering and think that we can dominate the world with our fruit abilities, but this is actually just our arrogance.

You, including me, have forgotten in the past that our own strength is the foundation of everything. We develop underground forces, sell arms, drugs, and slaves. There is nothing wrong with these. But at the same time, money has also corrupted us, and interests cannot

To resolve all conflicts, when faced with dangers that threaten one's own life and death, the most useful thing is to attribute one's own strength.

Without this as a foundation, everything else is just a castle in the air. It’s not that we don’t understand this truth, because that’s what we did in the past. It’s just that the small pond in Beihai is too small. When we can do whatever we want in this small pond, we forget that the times are changing.

Although we are developing, we have stopped moving forward, so it is not impossible to be abandoned by the times.

This tragic defeat should be regarded as a warning to our family, to you, to me! To everyone, give up the arrogance in the past that I am the best in the world, give up the idea of ​​seeking revenge from the navy, and don’t even mention this idea at all.

, unless you can be confident that you have defeated that naval hero.

This is the shame of our entire family. Know your shame and then be brave. This is what the Vice Admiral once said. I didn’t understand what it meant before. Today I give this sentence to you. All of us must remember this sentence.

In my heart, from now on, all the actions of the family must go underground. I must be careful and careful not to reveal any of our flaws.

At the same time, the family must also try its best to collect Devil Fruits, and remember that although Devil Fruits are powerful, they cannot be our only support. The family also needs to add new members. For those caught by the navy, our families,

This is the same person we must never give up.

Now we don't have any strength to save them, and the consequence of acting rashly is that we will end up like them, and that will be the end."

In the room, only Doflamingo's voice echoed, everyone else looked thoughtful, even the three little kids.

They have witnessed the power of the Don Quixote family in the past, and now they can better understand what the naval hero Allen represents. They have no idea of ​​leaving the family. After listening to Doflamingo's words, they still understand a little bit.

I understand, but I can understand one truth, that is, they are too weak and need to become stronger.

Rocinante looked at Doflamingo and couldn't help but admire him again for his biological brother.

He originally thought that after experiencing this tragic defeat, Doflamingo would either become crazy and desperate to take revenge on the Navy, or he would become cowardly and become submissive in the face of Lieutenant General Allen. However, neither of them happened.

Flamengo quickly adjusted his mentality, conducted deep introspection, and completely walked away from the shadow of failure.

Hero!

These two words appeared in his mind. Lieutenant General Allen's evaluation of his biological brother was indeed correct. Only Doflamingo like this would be taken seriously by Lieutenant General Allen.

Everyone was deep in thought, chewing on Doflamingo's words, and their thoughts of revenge gradually subsided.

This is not to say that there is no hatred. Those people are their family members who have lived with them for more than ten years. They are the closest people. Now that they have been arrested, one of them is even dead and will never be seen again. How can they not

What about hatred?

"If nothing goes wrong, Diamanti and the others will be sent to Impel Down City by the Navy in the future. Although it is not a good place, it is not a place that can only be entered and cannot be exited as advertised by the World Government and the Navy. In fact, every year

Some people were selected by the Celestial Dragons to be slaves.

I have a way to save them, but before that, we must become stronger, so strong that the world government cannot ignore us, so strong that they must treat us in another way. That way is, I want to become the world

Position established by the government—Oshichibukai.

After becoming the King of the Seven Martial Arts, Diamanti and the others will be pardoned and return to the family line, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, we are strong enough, what does it mean to be strong enough, do you understand?"

Doflamingo looked at the cadres of his family, one by one, and even the three children were not left behind. From now on, the Don Quixote family, which has lost its normal power, will not have a good life in the future.

, every family member is a force worth using.

Everyone who was seen by Doflamingo nodded in various ways, indicating that they knew what to do - work hard to improve their own strength!

"Torebol, since you have recovered from your injuries, you will continue to take over the family's information. Devil Fruit ability is currently the thing that can enhance the strength of our family the fastest, and this cannot be stopped. In addition, you are also responsible for screening some people who are suitable for our family.

The conditions for people should be relaxed appropriately. If there are people with good strength, even if they cannot become the core cadres of the family, they can still be used as general cadres."

"I understand, Dover."

"I believe you can do a good job. Corazon, the things that Diamanti was responsible for in the past are all handed over to you now. I know you found it troublesome in the past, but now I hope you can do a good job."

"no problem."

Rocinante held up the cardboard.

Doflamingo continued: "All of you, in your free time, have to fight with me. You can't relax for a moment."
Chapter completed!
