Laffitte said, "If our captain becomes the new emperor, with his support, you will definitely be able to expand your sphere of influence. As for your worry that we will go back on our word, it's not a problem at all. We will naturally kill our enemies without mercy. But towards our allies, we will definitely keep our promises."
Doflamingo waved his hand, and said, "Don't say these nice things. Anyway, I just don't believe it. I don't want so-called promises, only substantial benefits. Like this, I'll take a step back. I want two-thirds of the Whitebeard Pirates' wealth, and one-third of their territory, plus Death God's head and his sword."
"Still impossible."
Laffitte still shook his head. He would never let Doflamingo succeed in this matter. Even if the alliance couldn't be completed, he wouldn't let so many of their benefits go to Doflamingo. With the benefits that Doflamingo had said, it was enough to join forces with a four emperors pirate crew. Why form an alliance with Doflamingo?
Doflamingo said impatiently, "This won't work, and that won't work. Then what exactly do you want?"
Laffitte said, "Still the conditions I said just now, plus a portion of the treasure."
Doflamingo said in a cold voice, "Last chance. One-third of the wealth and territory. If you still don't agree, then there's nothing to discuss."
Looking at Doflamingo's resolute attitude, Laffitte's expression was constantly changing. He had already sensed Doflamingo's impatience. If he really refused, Doflamingo would likely turn hostile on the spot.
"Wait a minute. I'll contact the captain now. If he agrees, then we'll do as you said."
Now that things had come to this, it was no longer something that Laffitte could decide on his own. So, he stated his attitude to Doflamingo.
Doflamingo shrugged, and said, "Alright, whatever you want."
Actually, he hadn't originally planned to participate in the struggle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates. Even though he had a great hatred with Akira, it wouldn't affect his view of the world situation.
However, now that he had the invitation from the Blackbeard Pirates, it was different. The gap between the Blackbeard Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates wasn't very big. If he was added, then the Blackbeard Pirates would definitely increase greatly in strength, and would have a full chance to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates and Akira.
His hatred with Akira was secondary. What was most important was that if he and Blackbeard joined forces, there would be a great chance to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates. Then, not only would he be able to take revenge, but he would also be able to get huge benefits. So, he still inclined towards an alliance.
Laffitte communicated with Blackbeard through a Den Den Mushi. After about a period of time, Laffitte hung up the phone, turned his head, looked at Doflamingo, and said, "I've already talked to the captain."
"How is it?" Doflamingo asked with a smile, looking like he had everything under control.
Laffitte said, "Our captain agreed. However, there are also conditions. Everything you want must be after we've completely destroyed the Whitebeard Pirates, and killed Death God. If one of these two conditions isn't completed, the things you want won't be fulfilled."
"Fufufu, you really don't want to suffer any losses at all. Alright, I agree to your conditions."
Doflamingo was an extremely arrogant man. Previously, he hadn't gotten any benefits, so he had naturally made all kinds of excuses. But now that he could get benefits, he brought out his arrogant personality.
Either don't take action, or kill with one strike!
"I wonder what your captain specifically wants to do? It can't be that he's just going to start a war like this, right?" Doflamingo asked.
Laffitte said, "There's naturally a plan. However, in the end, it still depends on strength. Before absolute power, all schemes and tricks are useless. With you and me joining forces, our power will definitely be stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates."
"That's true, but we must not underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates, especially their captain, Death God. Not afraid of being embarrassed, I've fought him several times, and haven't been able to gain an advantage even once. Moreover, it's not just us. As far as I know, your battles with Death God also haven't gotten you any advantages, right?" Doflamingo didn't hide his weaknesses. He directly opened his mouth and said.
Laffitte didn't respond. He changed the topic, and said, "We'll have our captain talk to you in detail at a later time. What do you think?"
Doflamingo said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll wait for your captain's arrival."
"Then, farewell."
Laffitte bid farewell to Doflamingo, and then his whole person soared into the sky, and flew away.
"Doffy, are you really preparing to cooperate and form an alliance with the Blackbeard Pirates?"
After Laffitte left, Trebol said with worry, "That Blackbeard guy isn't a good person. He was able to betray Whitebeard, whom he had followed for twenty years. He's obviously a person without a bottom line. Aren't you afraid that he will break his promise after the alliance?"
Doflamingo's expression was serious, and he revealed a sneer, and said, "Of course I won't trust them. They also don't have anything worth my trust. I agreed to form an alliance with them, because we have a common goal, the Whitebeard Pirates..."
Trebol asked, "Doffy, I know that Death God has a hatred with us. But choosing to form an alliance with the Blackbeard Pirates for those hatreds, isn't that too irrational? After all, the Whitebeard Pirates' momentum is very strong now. Even if we form an alliance with that Blackbeard, it's still up in the air whether or not we can defeat the Whitebeard Pirates."
Doflamingo said, "How would we know if we don't try? Moreover, if we destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, the predicament that we haven't been able to develop for so many years will be immediately resolved. At that time, we will get wealth and territory. We can use it to further develop. We'll have money if we want money, people if we want people, weapons if we want weapons, and territory if we want territory. At that time, I might not be able to take another step forward, and compete for that higher position."
Speaking to the end, an astonishing light suddenly bloomed in Doflamingo's pupils. It wasn't just Blackbeard who wanted to become one of the four emperors. He, Doflamingo, also had this kind of ambition. These years, he had used Dressrosa as his base, and had developed rapidly, becoming the largest force in the underground world of the New World. But everything he possessed was incomparable to the four emperors.
In the New World, the four emperors were still the real hegemons. With his position and status, he could only be ranked under the four emperors, and even had to rely on the power of Kaido of the Beasts to consolidate his position. Although he was very strong now, he was far from satisfied. He was the chosen one. How could he be ranked under others? So, he had been seeking an opportunity to break through all along. And this war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates might allow him to take another step forward.
Hearing Doflamingo's ambitious words, Trebol didn't worry. Instead, he laughed happily.
"Hahaha, this is our young master, the one chosen by heaven!"
Back then, when Trebol and the other top officers had chosen Doflamingo, it was because they had taken a fancy to his Haoshoku Haki, and his cruel and domineering personality. Then, they had constantly develop him, which was why they had trained the current Doflamingo.
As a family that shared honor and disgrace, Trebol certainly hoped that Doflamingo could become the strongest man in the world. So, after hearing Doflamingo's words, he completely lost his previous worries. He believed that with Doflamingo's domineering aura, coupled with their assistance, no matter who the opponent was, they would be able to solve them.
Doflamingo said, "But that Blackbeard guy wants to use me. He's too naive. But now isn't the time to argue about these things with him. Everything has to wait until the Whitebeard Pirates are destroyed before we can talk about it."
It wasn't just Blackbeard who wanted to use Doflamingo. Doflamingo also wanted to use Blackbeard. But no matter what plans they had in their hearts, they all had the same goal, which was to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates first. Only after the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed could everything they had envisioned begin.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. In this month, besides the huge commotion caused by Navy Headquarters moving in, nothing major had happened in the New World. Even the Blackbeard Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been constantly fighting before, had tacitly stopped making waves. Instead, it was a calm and tranquil scene.
However, under this calm and tranquil scene, many people in the New World were closely watching the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates, because they all knew very well that these two pirate crews couldn't really have no movements at all. The new emperor hadn't been decided yet. They wouldn't stop fighting. Let alone the fact that there was a life-and-death feud between them. So, it was even more impossible for them to coexist like this.
Just as everyone had imagined, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates certainly couldn't coexist, because both sides were ready to wipe out the other at any time.
A month was enough to change many things. For example, the alliance negotiations between the Blackbeard Pirates and the Donquixote Family had been completed. The Blackbeard Pirates and the Donquixote Family had officially formed an alliance. It was just that this alliance was naturally conducted in secret. Besides the two of them, no one knew that they had formed an alliance, and had begun to take action against the Whitebeard Pirates.
Akira naturally didn't know about this secret alliance. He had already begun to take action against the Blackbeard Pirates now.
"Everything is ready. Akira, time waits for no one. We can begin," Marco said with a solemn expression.
Akira nodded, looked ahead, and said slowly, "Yeah, it's time to put an end to all of this. Have you found the people I asked you to find?"
Marco said, "I've found them. But what are you going to do with them? They're just a few ordinary rookie pirates."
