Chapter 25: Senior Pique
...
On board the Flamingo.
"Gudong!"
Although there were many people on the deck, it was silent, so quiet that you could hear someone swallowing.
All members of the Don Quixote family clenched their weapons tightly, their palms were sweating, but no one dared to act rashly, because their respected and extremely powerful young master was being held in the hands of the other party like a little chicken.
"You bastards! How dare you treat my master like this! Let me go!"
Vergo, who usually spoke the least, was the first to stand up and shout angrily.
Seeing that the three people opposite him were unmoved as if no one heard what he said, Vergo became so angry that his face turned ashen as if covered with armed color domineering.
Gel nonchalantly picked his ear with his little finger and laughed.
"We will release him after we get the things. We are trustworthy. Hurry up and deal with your respected Young Master Dover as soon as possible so that he will suffer less."
"No! You must release Dover first. We don't trust you. We will only hand over the things after we confirm that the young master is safe!"
Trebol pointed his staff at Gel and said.
"You must be kidding! You're talking as if I can trust you? Are you going to trade or not?"
"you…"
Torrebol was left speechless.
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Gol jumped down from Weibel's shoulders, patted Doflamingo's butt in front of everyone, and asked:
"What should I do? Brother Dover, your beloved subordinates don't seem to want to rescue you. Do you think they want me to kill you so that they can find a new master?"
"Fffffffff! Captain Gill, there's no need to stir up trouble here. I won't be fooled by you!"
Doflamingo's face was gloomy, and he turned to several top executives and said:
"Give them the stuff!"
"But, Young Master..."
"Do you need me to say it again?"
The corners of Doflamingo's mouth drooped, his tone clearly showing some displeasure.
"Yes! Young Master."
The four of them responded in unison.
Diamanti turned around and waved behind him.
"Ta-ta, tap-ta!"
A sound of orderly footsteps was heard.
Soon, a dozen men in black suits came out, 11 people in total. Except for the first one, the other 10 men each carried two black suitcases.
The leader was a handsome man in his twenties, wearing sunglasses, 1.80 meters tall, with a slicked-back hair and a small tuft of bangs on his forehead. He was dressed in a very standard and stylish gentleman's style.
This man, whose style was obviously different from that of other minions, made Gel look at him carefully for a while.
That’s right, this person is none other than Senior Pique, a super invincible tough guy who values friendship and loyalty, has love and compassion for the weak, and is the least good at cheating!
Although Senior belongs to the cruel and vicious Don Quixote Doflamingo family, he never changes his true nature and bottom line. He is a villain that Gel admires more.
Love stories among pirates are often tragic.
In the original novel, Senor experienced the pain of losing his son not long after becoming a father. His wife was already heartbroken and became a vegetable due to an accident.
The grief-stricken Senior tried every possible way to comfort his wife in order to make her happy.
After accidentally discovering that when Senior wore his son Gimlet's baby clothes, his wife would smile for the first time in a long time while lying on the hospital bed, Senior always kept dressing like this from then on.
"No matter how high-end the suit is, it can't compare to the value of this dress."
No matter how others laughed at him, he always wore this weird outfit with a smile on his face, because his wife's smile was more precious to him than anything else!
...
Eleven thugs in suits walked up to Geer and opened their boxes one after another.
There were twenty boxes neatly filled with Baileys. Many people on the boat were breathing heavily. When Senior opened the box in his hand, everyone gasped, because there were 5 devil fruits inside!
The ship was suddenly filled with jewels and gems. This was a full 5 billion berries and devil fruits! Even Captain Gill, who had seen the world, felt a little dazzled. Some of Don Quixote's young cadres with weak minds couldn't help but show greedy expressions. At this moment, each of them was fantasizing in their hearts:
How great it would be if all these things were mine! Why would I still be a pirate? I could retire early, find a place to be a local tyrant, marry a bunch of beautiful wives to serve me, and pamper one every day without repeating the same thing.
But their fantasy was soon shattered. Gel pretended to go forward and carefully check the boxes, and then suddenly made the twenty-one boxes disappear in an instant like a magic trick.
The eleven people holding the boxes all showed panic expressions and looked around to search.
A storage-type devil fruit ability?
Doflamingo guessed and felt a little relieved in his heart: Fortunately, this bastard didn't eat a very tricky devil fruit.
After putting the twenty-one boxes back into the system space, Gel showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Now that he has the money in his hands, he can calmly deal with whatever tricks the Don Quixote family has in place.
Even if the king of heaven comes today, he can't make me spit out this piece of fat meat that I have eaten! I said!
Gel patted Senior's shoulder gently and spoke like a leader encouraging his subordinates.
"Good job, Senior! Thank you for your hard work."
His tone was full of relief and affirmation.
Senior's brows were slightly furrowed, confusion written all over his face.
What do you mean?
What went well?
What did I do?
Oh, you mean I got the devil fruit, right?
But do I know you well?
Also, it's easy for you to cause misunderstanding when you say this!
Sure enough, the next second, he felt Doflamingo's sinister eyes staring at him, and everyone else on the ship also looked at him strangely.
I really don't know him! Let me explain!
Senior was sweating profusely and wailing helplessly in his heart.
They agreed to exchange the goods for money, but now their goods have been taken away by Gol using his strange ability, and Doflamingo's men are still holding them. They are completely passive, and whether they release the people or not now depends on Gol's mood and character.
"Hey! You've taken all the things, hurry up and let our young master go!"
Vergo was anxious. He took a step forward and assumed a fighting stance. He was ready to capture the leader first. If the other party was going to go back on his word, he would rush forward and control Gel as a bargaining chip.
The others also reacted at this time and took out their weapons and prepared for battle.
When the Don Quixote family cadres saw Gel quickly retreat back to Moria and Weible, they all thought it was not good. This guy really didn't want to let them go.
Doflamingo's face was also gloomy as if it was about to drip water, and he pretended to be calm.
"Fffffffff! Is Captain Gill planning to play a trick on us?"
"Don't be so anxious. Are you still unsure of my character? I just want to discuss one more deal with you."
Ger grinned.
Yes, I am very worried about your character!
Ming Ge complained madly in his heart, but on the surface he still asked politely:
"Oh? I wonder what other deal Captain Gill wants to make with me?"
Gel pointed at Senior and said with a smile:
"I admire your little brother very much. Let him follow me in the future. I will pay 5 million Baileys and deduct it from the 30 billion you owe me. You also want to get your shadow back as soon as possible, right?"
The Seniors were all dumbfounded. Can't you guys please not hurt me when you fight? Just tell me what it is about me that you admire and I will change it immediately?
"Fufufufu! Captain Gul, you have family too, right? I lost my mother when I was 8, and killed my father with my own hands when I was 10. Family members above the cadre level are my family members who have shared joys and sorrows with me for a long time. I..."
"10 million!"
"I…"
"20 million!"
"They are all I have now, I will never..."
"30 billion Baileys! If you say one more word, I'll regret it!"
"make a deal!"
Doflamingo no longer hesitated, he had already suspected that Senior was a traitor and wanted to kill him when he returned. Now he had paid off 30 billion foreign debts for nothing, which was really a pleasant surprise.
Senior could no longer understand how the situation was developing. He was sold out in just a few words. He was furious. He never expected that he was so loyal and sincere to the family. He had worked so hard to become an official, but he was sold out by his boss like this.
However, at this moment, Senior was actually feeling a little secretly happy.
You know what, this 30-pound piece of meat was sold for billion! This is an astronomical figure for him! This is a high recognition from the new boss! He himself felt that the money was not worth it for Ge Er.
In fact, Gel felt that Mingge had become suspicious because of him, the spoiler party. He would definitely launch a cleanup operation to catch traitors when he returned. Who knows how many people would be wrongly killed.
Gel didn't know whether the second generation Red Heart Corazon had already infiltrated the Don Quixote family. He was afraid that he would accidentally harm him, so he might as well pretend to withdraw the hidden man who had completed the mission. Anyway, he didn't expect Mingo to give the 3 billion Gel honestly, so he might as well change a good subordinate.
The deal was reached between the two parties, and Gur asked Weevil to release Doflamingo, whom he had been carrying for a long time.
Senior was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem. Since he was not welcome here, he would find another place to stay. He walked straight to Ger, turned around, and looked at Don Quixote and his companions with a cold face.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, look, that guy Senior's demeanor changed as soon as he got to the other side!"
"Yeah, he's become so arrogant! He doesn't even bother to look at us straight in the face! This bastard!"
"I told you long ago that this guy must be a sixth-rate guy! You didn't believe it! Do you know now?"
Someone else whispered:
"But if a boss is willing to pay me 30 billion Baileys, I'm willing to switch jobs!"
"Shut up! Idiot, do you want to die? If the senior officials hear this, you will never see the sun tomorrow!"
The people around him reminded him loudly, and the man quickly covered his mouth and looked around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that no one heard it.
Senior's betrayal was seen by everyone in the Don Quixote family, making them more certain that he was an undercover agent from the beginning.
Gel happily put his arm around Senior's shoulders and said enthusiastically:
"Haha, welcome to join us. We'll be good brothers from now on!"
"Don't blame me for deliberately framing you, Captain. If they really trusted you, I wouldn't be able to alienate them with just a few words."
"I understand. This is not your fault, Captain Gill!"
Seeing that Senior looked somewhat helpless, Gel smiled and comforted him:
"It's okay. You are free. You can stay on our ship for a while. If you think we are not good people or that I am not worthy of your following, you can choose to get off the ship at any time."
"This! Is it really possible? Captain Gur!"
"Haha, of course, ... but you have to return the 30 billion to me first."
Hearing this, the gratitude that was about to rise in Senior's heart was instantly extinguished. Looking at the smile on Gel's face, he just felt that this guy was a devil!
"Captain Gul, I will do whatever you tell me to do from now on! Please let me follow you!"
Senior said seriously.
He knew very well that he could no longer stay on this ship. A penny can make a hero fall. In order to ask him to pay off the 30 billion Bailey Señor chose to work for his boss.
"Hahaha, great! That's great! Don't worry, you'll definitely have a future if you follow me. At least you won't have to work 996 and travel so often. I promise that when you have a family, your career won't keep you so busy that you can't accompany and take care of your family! As soon as I see your face, I know that you're a good family man like me, hahaha."
"Please take good care of me. From now on, my life is in the hands of the Captain!"
Gel suddenly thought of something, patted Senior's shoulder and asked:
"Is there anyone else at home? Or is there a partner? If necessary, I can ask my Dover brothers to help send that person over."
Doflamingo: Do I know you well?
"Thank you, Captain, but no thanks, I'm all alone."
Seeing that although Ger was a taciturn person, he was genuinely thinking about him, Senior felt a little touched.
"That's fine. Let's go, we made a lot of money today, and we have new partners joining us. Let's go back and have a party and drink to celebrate!"
Gel laughed heartily. It was getting late and everything was done, so he took Senior and asked everyone to go home for dinner.
Weibull had been squinting his eyes and pretending to be an expert, and he almost fell asleep. When he heard this, he couldn't help but speak:
"Can we finally go home? Bro, I want to eat meat! Big chunks of it!"
"Hey, Captain, I want a Coke! Ice-cold!"
"no problem!"
"Captain Gul, should we leave here first?"
Senior wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reminded.
Hey guys, we are still on the enemy ship. Can't you see that there are a bunch of people holding knives and guns staring at us fiercely? Can we leave this troubled place first and discuss the dishes for tonight when it is safe?
