Chapter 246 The bad guy complains first
Captain Gel put his hands in his pockets, standing straight as a pine tree on the "bow". He looked ahead with sharp eyes, and his clothes rustled in the wind!
Gel cleared his throat and said pretentiously:
"When the great roc takes off on the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles! So wet! So wet! Huh!"
"Damn it! Who is saying bad things about me again?"
Captain Gel sneezed and muttered in dissatisfaction while his nose was blowing.
Gel took out three thicker coats and put one on himself and the young couple. It was quite cold to fly a convertible in the sky late at night. However, for the other four strong men, this little wind was not enough to dry the hot sweat that was emitting white smoke from their muscles.
...
"Captain, I heard before that the Don Quixote family knew you would come to buy the Adam Tree, so they planned to set a trap for us. Although we just staged a play to mislead their judgment, I still think that when they find out that their things have been stolen, their first reaction will be to suspect us, right?"
Tezoro, who was more meticulous, was still thinking about what had just happened and expressed his opinion on Captain Gel's little trick.
"Oh, by the way, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. Indeed, just relying on this one show is not enough. Can you guess what else we should do?"
Seeing that he showed great interest in strategy, Gel asked questions with interest.
What else should be done?
Tezulo scratched his head and thought for a while, then said awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, Captain, but I can't think of anything else to do."
"Haha, it's okay. Using your brain is a good habit. I'm really embarrassed for you. You don't even know how close I am to the Dover brothers. That fat guy should be unconscious for a night. So before he knows his goods have been stolen, what we should do now is, of course, give him the reaction he wants to see, so that he can minimize his suspicion of us."
As Gel said this, he took out a Den Den Mushi and started calling with a sly smile on his face.
...
“Blu-blu-blu, blu-blu-blu!”
"Crack!"
Den Den Mushi put on sunglasses with red lenses and said arrogantly:
"Ffufufu, you, have you forgotten that we are enemies? Can you please stop bothering me all the time? I have nothing to say to you!"
"Haha, stop pretending to be Doflamingo. The call was connected so quickly. You should have expected that I would contact you. It's inconvenient to go out during the day, so why don't you go out and have fun at night? You are not waiting for my call, are you?"
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
Seeing that Doflamingo was still playing dumb, Gel was not in a hurry and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Stella took out the windproof lighter she had prepared and helped Geer light it. The service was very good.
No wonder those noble lords like to have maids to serve them.
After a few sighs, Geer continued:
"My subordinates who were sent to the auction in Shampooland called me and said that they failed to bid for the Treasure Tree Adam. Normally, the transaction price of this thing is 20 million or million, which is quite good. Why didn't they buy it even though they brought billion Baileys in cash?"
There were no lights on in the room, but the full moon was extremely bright tonight. The moonlight pouring into the room through the row of windows on the east side of the hall was enough for people to see everything inside clearly, unless someone insisted on wearing sunglasses late at night to show off.
Doflamingo took off his glasses and placed them on the table. He picked up the Den Den Mushi and sat down in front of the window. He pretended to be displeased and said:
"Don't go too far. I've already given you the information for free. The fact that you didn't take any photos just means you didn't bring enough money. What does it have to do with me?"
"Clap clap clap!"
Gel clapped his hands and continued:
"That makes sense. It's really because they brought too little money. After all, the difference between the transaction price of 20 billion and the amount is not much."
"Fffffffff, what on earth do you want to say?"
"I still underestimated you, Dover. You are still in the North Sea, but you have reached so far. But it will be meaningless if you continue to play dumb and chat with me. I admit that you have really succeeded in disgusting me this time. Stop talking nonsense. I am in a hurry to get that batch of wood. Name a price!"
Seeing the Den Den Mushi in his hand showing a resentful and angry expression, Doflamingo's habitually drooping mouth corners began to slowly rise. He stopped pretending and directly revealed his true face. He laughed and said:
"Fffffffff, I can't help but be happy to see your expression like this. Great! That thing cost me more than 2 billion Baileys. I'm not short of money, but since you want it so much, I can bear the pain and give it up. Just use it to get back my shadow!"
After taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Gel slowly exhaled, looking distressed as if he was carefully weighing the pros and cons.
"Haha, you have to think carefully about it. Baoshu Adam is a hot commodity."
Doflamingo took the opportunity to test the waters.
"Shu!"
Gel put out his cigarette and said with determination:
"Haha, great! You're awesome. You win this time. Let's choose Spring Queen City as the trading location."
"No, we can trade near the place you mentioned, but the specific trading location must be determined by me. Also, you must put my shadow back before I can hand over the Treasure Tree Adam to you! I can't trust you!"
"Asshole, what do you mean by that? How am I untrustworthy?!"
Gur said angrily.
"Fuffuffuff, if you don't agree to this, I'd rather not trade. Anyway, I'm getting more and more used to the night now, so I'm not in a hurry to get my shadow back."
Doflamingo said in a tough tone.
"Haha, alright, I'll give you seven days to bring the stuff to me. I can release your shadow once I see the stuff, but you'd better not play any tricks or cause any trouble for me, otherwise it won't be as simple as owing me five devil fruits! Beating you up again won't be the least of your punishment."
"Asshole! Stop bragging. I was just careless last time and fell victim to that onion-head's strange ability. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"Haha, fine, whatever you want. You keep talking nonsense. Do you know what a life card is? I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I cut a little bit of your nails when you fainted last time."
The veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged, and he really wanted to crush the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a single blow!
This damn bastard!!
"Fffffffff! Wait, I'll call you when I've made the arrangements!"
"Crack!"
After Doflamingo finished speaking, he slammed the phone and hung up!
...
"Hahaha, this guy has quite a bad temper."
Gel smiled and put the Den Den Mushi away.
"The thief cries thief! Great job, Captain! This way, the other party will most likely not suspect that it was us who did it. This is amazing! Why didn't I think of such a simple and effective method?"
Tezulo said excitedly.
"Ahem! What do you mean by thief crying thief? Do you know how to talk? This is called the 36th Strategy of the Stratagems - the villain is the first to complain!"
"Ah yes, sorry Captain!"
As Tezulo apologized, he thought about remembering the captain's move.
Stella covered her mouth and laughed secretly, feeling that this villain complaining first was no better than the thief crying "stop thief".
