Chapter 97: Apologize
"Fufufu~, sorry, sorry, I was so rude just now. I apologized for my subordinates' misconduct just now. In order to express my apology, this time I found out that I could sell one to you from the devil fruits I brought to trade. It was definitely a friendly price."
Doflamingo is worthy of being a pirate hero. He can bend and stretch. He quickly suppressed his anger, grinned, and said to Barr in an attitude that he had been unseen for many years.
If you can't beat it, you have to admit it, bow your head temporarily, and then apologize.
This is the survival principle that Doflamingo understood since he fell into the mortal world and then experienced various hardships.
Since Barr is the legendary pirate Golden Lion standing behind him, it is not embarrassing that he temporarily chooses to endure.
Devil Fruit Trading!
"This guy is really a devil fruit dealer. Judging from his tone, the devil fruit is like a cabbage."
Barr was speechless when he heard Doflamingo take out the right to buy the devil fruit as a plea.
Once again, he saw that Doflamingo had collected a lot of devil fruits. He had to admit that although the other party was not the most powerful critic of people in the world, his energy was indeed very high.
However, this time, the Golden Lion Fox fake tiger power was able to scare Doflamingo, and he could also get the right to purchase a devil fruit from the other party. This is quite good, and he got a devil fruit for free.
So he nodded, showed a false smile and showed a false friendly attitude and said, "Forget it this time, I will control your subordinates in the future. If you are too smelly at sea, you will easily die."
When Doflamingo heard Barr's reply, although he knew Barr had accepted his apology, he was still very unhappy, and the veins that had just disappeared on his forehead appeared again.
At the same time, Gilbert, who had been listening nearby without interrupting, was already shocked. He could not understand why Doflamingo was so polite to Barr all of a sudden.
He worked with Doflamingo many times and had long known how arrogant this guy was. Now he actually apologized politely. It's a damn thing.
But others are old and can still see that Doflamingo was shocked by what Barr just said, otherwise it would be impossible for him to apologize.
Who is the lion?
Why is Doflamingo so afraid of it?
Is this lion behind the Barr or the Ram gang?
For a moment, many questions popped up in Gilbert's mind, which brought him a strong sense of crisis at this time. He had no good mood to learn that Doflamingo had successfully helped him find bird fruits and could buy more demon fruits to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops.
But he also knew that even if he asked, Barr and Doflamingo would definitely not tell him, so he had to wait patiently for the two to end the conversation.
The reason why Gilbert called Barr over this time was mainly to show Barr his financial resources and connections to show off, and to tell Barr that he had bought the bird fruit, hoping that he could prepare to deal with the damn transparent man.
In the past two months, Gilbert has received many threatening letters from transparent people.
Unfortunately, this transparent man was too cautious. The other party seemed to know that he had found a strong man to protect him. Every time he sent a threat letter, he would send messages to some untouchables who had no idea about the inside story. He didn't even give a phone bug to facilitate contact, so that he still didn't know the little information about this transparent man until now.
Soon, the communication between the three ended. Gilbert and Doflamingo reached a deal for the devil fruit, and Barr also chose a superman-type devil fruit.
After Doflamingo hung up the phone, the next time was the communication time between Barr and Gilbert.
"Mr. Gilbert, I can't agree to your request. I guess you should know it too. My territory and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce have had many thefts, and I have not found the thief. No need to say, you should know who the thief is. The transparent man used this to warn me. I am not afraid personally, but I cannot take risks with the lives of my subordinates and friends to protect you. This is the maximum, and it is not considered a violation of the agreement between you and the transparent man. Also, please don't forget the agreement between you and me. If you breach the contract, I will be very unhappy."
Seeing that Gilbert was not giving up and wanted to use the blackmailed thing as bait to design the transparent man to capture, Barr immediately chose to refuse without hesitation and stared at Gilbert with a cold face.
Gilbert is really not a worry-free person. He always has one thing on his back and one another on his back. He is a two-faced guy. He actually secretly revealed the news of his protection. Of course, the purpose is not only to make the transparent people hate him, but also to use this to completely help him on his chariot and make the King's Army also hate him.
If it weren't for the transparent man or himself, and if he had disclosed part of his transaction with Gilbert in time, the King's Army would not cause trouble for him, but this also affected the business of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce in other parts of the drum kingdom to a certain extent.
Gilbert felt very uncomfortable when he was rejected without hesitation in front of Barr and threatened.
However, he also knew that he was unreasonable. He thought that he had secretly leaked the news of Barr protecting him in the city and made the transparent people hate him. He could use this to appropriately divert the transparent people's attention and increase the conflict between the two sides, but he did not expect that the transparent people just did some thieves and did not kill and make grudges.
In the end, he became more determined that Barr's determination to offend the transparent man and that Barr complained about him. He really lost all the money.
Now he learned important information from the conversation between Barr and Doflamingo. He understood that Barr was not only strong in his personal strength, but also might also have powerful forces behind him that Doflamingo feared. Now he cannot be offended easily. He must quickly repair the relationship and immediately said with a smile:
"Hahaha~ Don't worry, I will definitely not violate the transaction agreement between us. I just mentioned it casually, don't take it seriously. As for the theft case of your territory and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, I am really sorry. This must be a damn servant here who accidentally leaked his mouth and let the damn transparent person know.
But please understand that during this period, there have been many people coming in and out here, and you usually have many people here. The damn transparent person must have some special information channels, which will affect you. But please rest assured that I will compensate you for all the losses caused by the transparent person. The free period of Rock Island can be increased by another five years. What do you think?"
"Then I will thank the city lord for those who have been stolen on the territory. If nothing happens, I will go back and continue to exercise."
Barr got the benefits he wanted, so he naturally chose to be like Gilbert and the snake. He smiled again, as if he had never been angry at all, and nodded and said.
Gilbert was disappointed, and at this moment he was also worried about something. Of course, he didn't want to continue seeing Barr, a hateful gangster. He continued to talk nonsense to Barr and asked Barr to leave politely, and also sent Barr to the door himself.
"Lion, what kind of lion is that can make Doflamingo, the arrogant guy, so afraid. The Ram Gang seems to have something hidden in something I don't know. No, I must find it out clearly, otherwise it will be a huge hidden danger."
