Chapter 252: Laffitte Recommends Teach

Doflamingo hadn't even recovered when his neck felt a sudden chill.

Looking down, a gorgeous long sword was held against his neck, emitting a cold aura of death.

"Fufufu, just a joke, no need to be so excited! Vice Admiral Karl!"

Doflamingo honestly retracted his strings and raised his hands to signal surrender.

Seeing Doflamingo soften, Karl retracted the Raven and said lightly: "Behave yourself now that you’re at Marine Headquarters. If you don't want to sit in the Warlord position, there are plenty of people who want to, understand?"

A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Doflamingo’s head. He had really thought he was going to die just now, because this guy really wanted to kill him!

Hancock, sitting in her seat, snorted coldly. Doflamingo was as annoying as ever.

"Everyone stop!"

Sengoku walked over slowly with his file processor (the little goat). Today, he was dressed for the occasion.

Fleet Admiral’s cloak, dazzling honorary medals...

"Sorry, I haven't greeted everyone yet. I didn't expect you to really come, pirates."

Doflamingo felt a sense of relief when he saw Sengoku arrive. With Sengoku watching, Karl shouldn't be able to act recklessly, right!

Seeing no one reply, Sengoku sat in the main seat and gestured for Karl to sit beside him.

"In my opinion, there’s no point in waiting any longer. Four out of the six Warlords have arrived. The attendance rate has far exceeded my expectations, after all, this isn't a mandatory summons."

Doflamingo walked to the opposite side of Sengoku with an arrogant gait, saying as he walked: "That’s right. Originally, I didn't want to come, but since the construction project in Dressrosa is going so smoothly, I was just bored, so I came."

After finishing, Doflamingo originally wanted to sit on the table to show his uniqueness, but seeing Karl teasing the white Raven on his shoulder, Doflamingo chose to be sensible.

"So that’s how it is. That’s really a headache, because the more prosperous your pirate business is, the busier we Marines are."

"Fufufu, it sounds Move Move Like you’re envious. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to your title of 'Buddha'? Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"

Hancock, sitting opposite Karl, flicked her hair and said arrogantly: "I’ve been listening to nonsense for half a day, can we get to the point quickly?"

"If it continues Move Move Like this, I’m going back!"

To be honest, if it weren't for the chance to go out and walk around openly with Karl, she would never have gotten involved in such a boring thing.

Mihawk nodded: "That’s right. If there is still hostility between Marine Headquarters and the Warlords, then this round-table meeting has no meaning, right?"

Doflamingo chuckled and looked at Mihawk with interest: "I heard you lost to Vice Admiral Karl a while ago. I thought you were already dead. I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

Mihawk glanced at Doflamingo lightly and didn't answer his question. He didn't Move Move Like social butterflies very much.

Sengoku waved his hand: "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Since no one else is coming, let’s officially start the meeting!"

"I’m truly sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I wonder if I might have the honor of listening in on this meeting?"

"No, it might be a little bit different from just listening in."

Hearing this effeminate voice, everyone present looked at the window on the left side of the conference room. It was a guy wearing a top hat.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

The guy wearing the top hat curled his mouth upward: "There are truly many big shots here today! If you don't mind, I have a request."

Then he began to play with the cane in his hand, doing a tap dance, his feet pattering on the ground. After dancing, his body struck an awkward pose, his right hand resting on the edge of his top hat, and he gave a seductive smile.

His pale face and eerie red lips combined to look very creepy.

"Please, everyone, be sure to let me participate in this meeting!"

"This meeting is to select a successor to replace Crocodile after his title was stripped a while ago, right?"

The Marine officer sitting next to Karl seemed to recognize this man and asked uncertainly: "You are Laffitte, right?"

Sengoku turned his head: "Laffitte?"

"Oh my, oh my, you actually know my name. It’s truly an honor."

Then the Marine officer began to talk about Laffitte’s background. Laffitte was a famous sheriff in the West Blue who had been exiled from the country for excessive violence in law enforcement.

Laffitte chuckled: "Those are all old stories, and my affairs are not worth mentioning; they are not important at all."

"I came here to recommend a man to become a Warlord... his name is... Teach."

A flash of light passed through Sengoku’s eyes. This guy was Teach’s subordinate!

How interesting! His subordinate actually dared to break into Marine Headquarters alone, just to recommend his captain to become a Warlord?

One had to admit, he had a lot of guts.

"Teach?"

"That’s right, that is the great name of our pirate crew’s captain."

Sengoku curled his lip: "I’ve never even heard of him. Let me tell you honestly, a guy Move Move Like this, who no one has ever heard of, can’t intimidate other pirates at all."

Laffitte nodded noncommittally, not caring at all about Sengoku’s words.

"Yes, you are right. Regarding this point, our crew has already made a foolproof plan. Please give us a little more time."

"Fufufufufu~ How interesting. Hey, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, just let them try!"

Doflamingo’s thinking was very simple: he just wanted to watch the show.

"The name of our pirate crew is the Blackbeard Pirates. I hope all you big shots will remember it well."

With this, Laffitte had achieved his goal. Under everyone’s gaze, wings grew from his back, and he flew into the sky.

"Caw?" The Raven tilted its head, puzzled.

Karl watched Laffitte’s retreating back, the corners of his mouth curling upward. It was getting closer and closer.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I think his proposal is not bad. Anyway, the purpose of calling the Warlords to a meeting is to find Crocodile’s successor. Since someone is recommending themselves, we save some trouble, don't we?"

"Of course, if anyone here has other candidates to recommend, we can study them further."

After Karl finished speaking, he looked at Doflamingo. You talk the most, so let’s start with you.

Doflamingo waved his hand: "I don't care. I think that Blackbeard Pirates crew is pretty good. Letting them try is fine too."

Then Karl looked at Mihawk. Mihawk said lightly: "I have no opinion."

When Karl’s gaze fell on Hancock, Hancock secretly winked: "I have no opinion."

Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma, who had no presence, put down the book in his hand, dropped a "no opinion," and then disappeared.

This Warlord meeting could only end in such a hasty manner.
