Chapter 1287

"Where is the young master?"

Pica gave Sugar a wink, meaning this guy is not easy to provoke, he is a big trouble, even if you hate him, don't say it directly.

"The young master asked me to wait for you here. Follow me."

Sugar chewed the grapes in her mouth. God knows why she was so keen on this thing. Could it be for beauty and skin care?

Sugar walked toward the villa. Pica, whose complexion was not very good, followed. Su Xiao looked around at the situation in the villa area.

"Bai Ye, come with me to see the young master."

The young master in Pica's mouth was exactly Doflamingo.

Compared to Doflamingo, Su Xiao was more vigilant toward Sugar. Although this little loli looked harmless, her fruit ability was very perverted.

Sugar was a Hobby-Hobby Fruit ability user. She could turn anyone she touched into a toy. After being turned into a toy, not only would they be forgotten by everyone except Sugar, but they would also be unable to disobey her orders.

In the past ten years, Sugar had turned nearly half of the residents of Dressrosa into toys. Most of the toys were working as coolies in the underground port, and some toys lived on the surface of Dressrosa.

Therefore, it was not strange to see toys that could talk and move freely on the streets of Dressrosa. This was one of the 'wonders' of Dressrosa.

These toys still had their original consciousness, but they were imprisoned in toy shells and forgotten by others. Therefore, even if they came into contact with civilians, there would be no problems.

Most toys hated the Donquixote Family. One could imagine, after a man was turned into a toy, his wife and daughter would forget him. If this man performed well in the underground port, he would have the opportunity to live with his family again.

Being able to see his family was a good thing, but his wife and daughter had already forgotten him. Driven by loneliness, his wife would very likely seek a new love. What was even more terrifying was that his wife had forgotten her husband, so there would be no sense of guilt.

When the toy man watched his wife with other men, his heart must be broken. And the Donquixote Family's solution was to destroy some toys after a certain number of years.

Just by touching, one would be turned into a toy by Sugar. Once turned into a toy, there was no chance to resist. Su Xiao would certainly be vigilant toward Sugar.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu didn't need to worry about this problem. Even if they were turned into toys by Sugar, Su Xiao could also detect it. Even if Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang or Amu disappeared from Su Xiao's memory, when he saw that the follower was a toy, he would guess what was going on.

The disappearance of memory was not permanent. Assuming Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was turned into a toy dog, after Sugar lifted the ability, the memory related to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would reappear.

Sugar led the way in front, and the group entered the villa.

In the living room of the villa, a man nearly three meters tall, blond, wearing sunglasses, was sitting on the sofa.

Although the man's height was nearly three meters, he didn't give people a giant feeling. His body proportions were very well-proportioned, or rather, the average height in the Pirate World was between 1.70 and 3.20 meters, and some were 6.7 meters tall.

The man was Doflamingo, the leader of the Donquixote Family. He was crossing his legs, holding a newspaper in his hand.

With a creak, the door of the living room was pushed open.

"Young master, Lord Pica is back."

Sugar's cute child voice came. Doflamingo put down the newspaper, his gaze looking at Pica first.

"It seems you didn't suffer any injuries."

Doflamingo dropped the newspaper in his hand, picked up a glass of red wine on the table, and leaned back on the sofa.

"Yes, young master."

Pica stepped forward. If it were in the past, he wouldn't have this attitude.

"Naval battle..."

Just as Pica opened his mouth, Doflamingo interrupted: "I know the situation. I will handle Jack's side."

Hearing Doflamingo's words, Pica's mouth opened and closed. A moment later, he nodded.

"Pica, is this the guest you brought?"

Doflamingo drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp and turned the glass upside down on the coffee table, meaning unknown.

"Young master, he is..."

While Pica was speaking, Su Xiao hooked his finger at Amu. Amu immediately understood and tossed Perospero's head to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao carried Perospero's head and walked toward Doflamingo. After placing the head on the coffee table, he sat on the sofa opposite Doflamingo.

A smile appeared on Doflamingo's face. Anyone who knew him knew that he was not very happy.

Su Xiao did join the Doflamingo faction, but this didn't mean he would be obedient to Doflamingo.

First of all, Su Xiao, who had opened the Hunter Moment, didn't fear Doflamingo at all. If they fought head-on, it was not certain who would live and who would die.

Moreover, Su Xiao would not be completely bound by the main quest. He still had one exemption right for the main quest. Negotiating with a sea hooligan like Doflamingo, a subservient attitude would only lead to being used by the other party, and the outcome would definitely not be good, such as Hyena Bellamy.

Compared to being used, Su Xiao was more willing to talk to Doflamingo clearly. If the talk collapsed, the biggest loss he would bear was the failure of the promotion/main quest. The promotion qualification was not only once, and main quest failure could also be exempted.

With these conditions, Su Xiao could certainly negotiate face-to-face with Doflamingo.

"This is a meeting gift."

"..."

The smile on Doflamingo's face became thicker. Except for sleeping, he wore sunglasses the rest of the time. The main purpose was to not let anyone see his eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Covering the eyes could prevent others from guessing what he was thinking.

For example, now, Su Xiao still hadn't guessed what Doflamingo was thinking.

Doflamingo's body sat up straight. He glanced at the head on the coffee table and remained silent.

The room fell into dead silence. Sugar even stopped chewing the grapes in her mouth.

"Very sincere,"

Doflamingo broke the silence, the smile on his face fading a bit.

"I also saved your subordinates by the way."

"..."

Doflamingo was silent again. Facts proved that Su Xiao's negotiation ability was not very good.

"Grace of saving life."

Hearing Su Xiao's addition, a vein popped on Doflamingo's forehead. Pica's complexion was extremely ugly. This grace of saving his life was held in Su Xiao's hands.

"Then I should thank you."

Doflamingo endured the impulse to kill Su Xiao in his heart. Although he didn't know Su Xiao's strength, he could perceive the thick blood aura on Su Xiao.

"Gratitude is unnecessary. To put it clearly, I originally wanted to come to defect to you, but now it seems that cooperating with you is also a good choice."

Su Xiao's 'defecting' was basically equal to using, which was to use Doflamingo to block the knife. But Doflamingo was much harder to deal with than imagined. Cooperation was obviously more reliable.

"You are only one person. Why cooperate with me? Don't forget, you are now a researcher wanted by the Navy and CP departments."

Doflamingo actually felt that the intelligence obtained from the World Government was not very reliable. Personally, he really hadn't seen such a researcher full of blood aura.

"Why? Because I can help you win the war."

When Su Xiao chose the faction, a plan had already sprouted in his heart, which was why he chose the relatively weak Donquixote Family.

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo made his unique laugh.

Just at this moment, an Apollo appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Doflamingo's laughter stopped abruptly.

Su Xiao's plan was roughly as follows: First, he would help the Donquixote Family manufacture alchemy bombs and Apollo and other explosives, and he would talk to Doflamingo about the ownership of these things, provided that the Donquixote Family could provide most of the manufacturing materials.

The ownership of the explosives belonged to Su Xiao, while the Donquixote Family had the right to use and the right to requisition. This was very interesting, which was that those explosives belonged to Su Xiao, but the Donquixote Family could use them and could also forcibly requisition them. In the final analysis, these explosives were all used to fight against the Big Mom Pirates.

Once Su Xiao possessed the ownership of the alchemy bombs, when those explosives killed enemy pirates, Su Xiao was very likely to obtain a portion of Pirate Reputation.

This was just Su Xiao's assumption. Once realized, even the first-place Kutu wouldn't be able to beat Su Xiao in terms of Pirate Reputation.

Kutu only had one person or one adventure group, but Su Xiao had the entire Donquixote Family helping to obtain Pirate Reputation.

Knowledge is wealth. Su Xiao's alchemy might bring him huge wealth. Precisely because of this, he negotiated with Doflamingo with the current attitude. He had chips to negotiate with the other party.
