Chapter 1305: Deep Routines

"The developer of artificial Devil Fruits is Dr. Vegapunk."

This time Jack understood what was going on.

"That is to say, besides Caesar Clown, we have other artificial Devil Fruit channels?"

Jack's attitude softened a lot.

"Not really, Bai Ye is an expert in weapons and cannot manufacture SAD raw materials, but he can judge whether Caesar Clown is deceiving us in terms of funding, and his combat power is very strong."

Jack directly ignored the "combat power is very strong" mentioned by Doflamingo.

"Sounds pretty good. Caesar Clown has been asking both sides for large sums of funding for a long time. It is said that he also cheated a large sum of funding from Charlotte Linlin, seemingly to research human giantification."

As the raw material supplier for artificial Devil Fruits, Caesar Clown had a high status in both the Donquixote Family and the Beasts Pirates. As long as both sides still needed his technology, they wouldn't do anything to him.

But Jack was very dissatisfied with Caesar Clown. As far as he knew, the large research funding Caesar Clown asked for was basically used for debauchery.

But even knowing this, Jack couldn't do anything about Caesar Clown. If they talked face-to-face, Caesar Clown would definitely act like a grandson in front of Jack, but privately, Caesar Clown didn't take Jack seriously at all.

Caesar Clown even dared to cheat funding from Charlotte Linlin. Now Beasts Kaido needed him. As long as Caesar Clown didn't fall into Charlotte Linlin's hands, the other party couldn't come to the door.

"Jack, don't lump Bai Ye and Caesar Clown together. If a head-on conflict occurs, even if we join forces to kill him, the loss will be even greater for us. How do you think I beat back Katakuri?"

"..."

Jack was silent for a moment. He wasn't actually as reckless as he looked. In the short conversation, he heard a different meaning from Doflamingo's words.

"At least during the conflict with Big Mom, we need him very much. Even after the conflict ends, he is also a talent worth winning over."

Doflamingo took out a small piece of alchemy bomb from his bosom and threw it to Jack.

"This thing... got it from the Navy?"

Jack's eyes glared. He wasn't surprised, but remembered some bad memories. Once, when he had a conflict with the Navy in the New World sea area, after a muffled sound came from beneath the ship, the ship Jack was riding sank.

Jack was also a Devil Fruit ability user, but he wasn't afraid of seawater, or rather, Jack wouldn't drown at all. His fish-man bloodline allowed him to breathe underwater.

Even so, Jack, who had lost all strength, lay on the seabed for a long time before being rescued.

Afterward, Jack learned that several of these things had been stuck beneath his ship. Precisely because of this, Jack had a deep impression of alchemy bombs.

"This thing is what he manufactured for the World Government."

"Hmm?"

Jack gripped the alchemy bomb in his hand. As a war maniac, he had long understood the significance of alchemy bombs to naval warfare.

"Where is he?"

"..."

Doflamingo didn't answer immediately. He knew Jack's personality too well. Precisely because of this, before Jack met Su Xiao, he described Su Xiao's importance to the war to Jack. He didn't want conflicts to arise between the two sides. Now the threat of the Big Mom Pirates was still there. If internal contradictions appeared, then the war wouldn't need to be fought anymore.

"Should have returned to the King's Plateau. Let me rest for a while, I'll go see him in a while."

Veins jumped on Doflamingo's forehead. He was heavily wounded in the battle with Katakuri. Internal organ damage was a small matter, but the heavy strike Su Xiao gave him with the Seastone rod earlier made his brain buzz until now.

After Doflamingo sat on the rubble pile for a few more minutes, he took Jack, who was impatient, and walked toward the King's Plateau.

Two hours later, King's Plateau, inside the villa banquet hall.

A round dining table was placed in the center of the banquet hall. The table was full of people. Doflamingo, Pica, Sugar, Trebol, and others were all present.

Doflamingo, as the host, was naturally sitting at the head of the table. Su Xiao sat diagonally opposite Doflamingo, and not far away was Jack. The three just happened to form a triangle.

The atmosphere at the dining table wasn't very good. Pica was eating steak silently, while Sugar was stirring a plate of seafood noodles. She held a basket of grapes every day, so how could she have an appetite for a main meal?

Only the top executives of the Donquixote Family and Sugar were qualified to sit around the dining table for a meal. Sugar's status in the Donquixote Family was very special, even no lower than the top executives.

Sugar's gaze swept around, finally shrinking her neck, and continued to stir the plate of seafood noodles.

"Now we are all fighting the Big Mom Pirates together. If internal contradictions appear..."

Before Doflamingo finished speaking, he heard a crisp crack. It was Jack crushing the extra-large wine glass in his hand. Wine splashed all over Sugar. Sugar's expression was very innocent.

The atmosphere at the dining table almost solidified. Su Xiao stared at Jack, and Jack also stared at Su Xiao, seemingly both wanting to kill each other.

The reason for the current situation had to be pushed back to an hour and a half ago.

When Doflamingo brought Jack back to the King's Plateau, they happened to encounter Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang basking in the sun in the courtyard. Because it was in a derived world, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang habitually blended into the environment when taking a nap.

As a result, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was 'tragic'. Jack stepped on it. This hurt Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang so much that it let out a miserable howl.

Hearing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's miserable howl, Su Xiao jumped out from the window on the fourth floor of the villa and happened to see Jack stepping on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

The result was obvious. Su Xiao drew his sword, Jack didn't recognize Su Xiao, and the two fought.

Through Doflamingo's armed mediation, the two stopped. But what gave Doflamingo a headache was that both sides were actually not at fault in this matter; it was completely a coincidence.

Was it really a coincidence? Would Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang happen to take a nap on Jack's path? The answer was, of course not. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang waited there for a long time. Before being stepped on, this guy adjusted the angle several times. This was all to pave the way for the subsequent negotiation. Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would be stupid, it would sometimes come up with some very good ideas, just like being 'happened' to be stepped on by Jack.

Returning to the dining table, Su Xiao and Jack were still staring at each other.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, the meaning was very clear: "This dog is not the kind of narrow-minded dog. The big picture is important. Let's forget about the previous matter."

"It said, let's forget about the previous matter."

Su Xiao certainly didn't fear Jack. Dealing with pirates was like this; a hard fist was the truth.

Jack took the new wine glass handed over by Baby-5, filled it with wine, and drank it in one gulp. The atmosphere at the dining table clearly eased a lot.

With Su Xiao's temperament, it was difficult for him to deal with the justice faction, with a natural negative favorability. But everything had pros and cons. His full-body blood energy allowed him to stand firm in the evil faction.

Just like Jack, this great pirate who had killed countless people was clearly in the evil faction. This guy's glare could even scare civilians into peeing.

"Cooperating with Joker is cooperating with our Beasts Pirates."

Jack was no longer as tense as before. In the final analysis, he also wanted to get alchemy bombs from Su Xiao.

"From the current situation, the bombs manufactured by Bai Ye are just enough for the war. It's better to discuss this after the war."

Doflamingo took out a special-grade alchemy bomb and placed it on the dining table. Seeing this bomb, Sugar's little face turned bitter. Someone took out a bomb while dining, so she basically had no appetite. ===== CHAPTER 1306 =====
