"Well..." Vladimir thought for a moment, confirmed that there were no traps, and nodded, "No problem, I'll take over this matter, so I'll take this position."
"Very well, tomorrow's news, I'll announce this news to the outside world. Hmph!"
Snorting angrily, Sengoku hung up the phone with a pa.
He was really suffocated, saying one more word would piss him off!
"Damn Phantom!"
...
Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Vladimir looked up at Doflamingo.
"Done."
"Fufufu... Admirable, admirable." Doflamingo chuckled and complimented, "You're the first to be able to threaten Sengoku and make him agree through gritted teeth."
"Don't pretend, I know all about your past. These flattery have no meaning."
Vladimir waved his hand, unmoved.
He slowly got up from the sofa, looked directly at the other party, and said, "After I become a Shichibukai, we'll talk about cooperation after we've accurately investigated the identity of that person."
Hearing this, Doflamingo narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it was a normal cooperation partner, he wouldn't easily give in when it came to something like artificial Devil Fruits, but the nine-tailed fox had just beaten him up, and he didn't dare to have any thoughts now.
"Fufufufu... No problem, if there's anything you need help with, I'm happy to lend you a hand."
Snorting softly, Vladimir walked to the window, opened the window lock, then he turned back and glanced at the other party, and said, "Your task now is to help us buy enough Devil Fruits. I'll come here again in a month, and if there aren't any... buy yourself a coffin!"
Leaving a sentence, the next moment, the golden youkai fox cloak flashed around Vladimir, and with a light leap, his whole body took off and disappeared.
After he left, Doflamingo's smile suddenly faded, and the veins on his forehead trembled, obviously not low on anger.
However, although he was angry, he didn't vent it, but quickly regained his composure.
"Can't afford to provoke, hmph, Phantom, huh?"
On the sofa, Doflamingo clenched his fists and thought to himself, "There are experts like clouds in the New World. My combat power isn't enough. I have to try to 'awaken' first..."
...
After Vladimir left Doflamingo's residence, he directly found a small hotel to stay in.
All night, he worked hard to practice Haki. Compared to before, he could already faintly feel a certain spirit. It was elusive, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
"Still a little short. If I want to master Haki quickly, I still have to fight against experts!"
The next day, in the morning.
Tens of thousands of news birds, raised by the Navy, flew in the sky all over the world.
A thick stack of newspapers was constantly being dropped, and people, after getting the newspaper, would kindly give the news birds 100 Berries to pay.
Among this stack of newspapers, most were updates of wanted posters and new bounties for certain pirates.
The real newspaper was only the last large sheet.
On this morning, in taverns, in front of courtyards, in churches, on sea ships, all kinds of people saw the world news of the past week.
And on the front page of the news, crowned with the most conspicuous position, in that place, there were 7 photos!
To be precise, it wasn't 7 photos, but 5 character portraits and 2 mysterious black-bottomed head frames with question marks.
"Shichibukai?"
Above the seven head frames, this title was written.
Countless people felt doubts in their hearts, but many also realized what this was.
The Shichibukai were composed of seven great pirates recognized by the World Government. Each of these seven had catastrophic destructive power and the enormous combat power to destroy a country alone.
First: Donquixote Doflamingo, former bounty 340 million, captain of the Donquixote Pirates!
Second: Sir Crocodile, former bounty 81 million, captain of the Baroque Works!
Third: Dracule Mihawk, nicknamed "Hawkeye", the world's greatest swordsman!
Fourth: Gekko Moriah, former bounty 320 million, captain of the Thriller Bark Pirates!
Fifth: "Knight of the Sea" Jinbe, former bounty 250 million, former member of the Sun Pirates!
Around the world, countless people saw the portraits of these five people and the information introductions below the portraits.
"The Navy has actually found them all!"
"Seven great pirates, even the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye has joined..."
"Although new forces are born in the New World at any time, an organization of this level is enough to affect the world pattern!"
Some envied, some sighed, and some mocked.
"Hmph, Shichibukai? The World Government's dogs, not being good pirates, but becoming mad dogs."
"Rumor has it that the government has given the Shichibukai special privileges, allowing them to legally plunder, and there are many conveniences."
"Speaking of which, who are the last two?"
Sixth: "Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma, portrait question mark, former bounty 296 million!
Seventh: Nine-Tailed Fox, portrait question mark, former bounty 0!
"Eh? These two don't have portraits... Could it be that the Navy made them up?"
"Tyrant, this guy is very famous, he's a tyrannical and ferocious pirate, monster-level combat power. Rumor has it that he once destroyed a Navy fleet alone and hated the Navy quite a bit. I didn't expect him to become a Shichibukai, tsk tsk tsk..."
"As for the last one..."
No one knew.
