Since Doflamingo reached a cooperation with Caesar Coulan, Punk Hassard, an already exposed place, has been abandoned directly.
One is to prevent the navy from finding this place, and the other is because it has offended too many people and needs to keep a low profile for a while.
So Doflamingo found an isolated island of suitable size near Dressrosa and sent people to move Caesar Coulan's research institute directly there.
With Doflamingo's money, a brand new research institute was built in almost no time.
And a lot of experimental subjects were obtained for Caesar Courant to use.
Given the scope of the Don Quixote family's business, this is too easy.
This also made Caesar Courant, who worked with him, initially feel how comfortable it is to have a reliable collaborator.
Of course, it would be better if no one was sent to monitor him.
Doflamingo directly dumped the matter on Abel, and then Abel dumped it directly on Monet. Can this be regarded as correcting the original plot?
But Abel felt that Monet most likely couldn't stand the cunning Caesar Courant.
Otherwise, in the original work, Caesar Courant went behind Doflamingo's back, accepted funds from Big Mom, and started a new scientific research topic, so they wouldn't have been kept in the dark and wouldn't know anything.
Then in order to cooperate with Caesar Coulan and produce artificial devil fruits, Doflamingo simply built the factory in Dressrosa under his nose.
He wouldn't worry if it were placed anywhere else.
As for human labor, it’s even simpler.
His plan is to turn half of the population of Dressrosa into toys, and it is now being gradually realized, so there is no shortage of this kind of low-end labor.
What he values instead is how much benefit and influence it can bring to him when the artificial Devil Fruit flows into the underground black market.
It's just that Doflamingo still doesn't know yet. What will he bring to himself in the end?
More than a year has passed like this, keeping a low profile.
February 1, 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The first batch of artificial Devil Fruits were finally successfully cultivated.
After removing the failed products, there are still 10 left.
But it doesn’t mean that these 10 artificial Devil Fruits can bring 10 animal-type Devil Fruit ability users.
It also depends on luck.
Because there is a risk of awakening failure.
People who fail to awaken will always become smiling faces.
So the factory Doflamingo built in Dressrosa is also called the Smile Factory!
But no one knows yet what exactly is produced there.
The King's Heights in Dressrosa is now the residence of the Don Quixote family.
At this time, Doflamingo is holding a family meeting.
Except for Monet, who was still keeping an eye on César Courant, basically all the family members were present, including Delinger, who was already 6 years old.
And sitting there as the top cadre, Abel, the third generation of "Red Heart", is also 16 years old.
This means that he has been in the Don Quixote family for 6 full years!
In the past six years, he has experienced a lot and has become accustomed to the evil in this world.
His hands were covered in blood, but he still adhered to his bottom line.
Perhaps these six years have changed him a lot, but the only thing that remains unchanged is his ambition that is burning like a fire!
As the Don Quixote family's power grew, he also knew that that day was not far away.
“More than a year has passed since we reached cooperation with Caesar Coulant and established the smile factory.”
"The family invested a huge amount of money during this period, but now it has finally paid off."
"There are a total of 10 artificial Devil Fruits. I plan to use my family's channels in the underground black market to sell them."
"The price of the first batch of goods can be set slightly lower. Once those people verify the miraculous effects of artificial devil fruits, it will be our opportunity to monopolize the entire market and make a lot of money!"
"If this continues, we may change the entire underground dark world, no! It may be the whole world!"
At the meeting, Doflamingo enthusiastically described his next plan, which made everyone excited and nodded frequently.
Obviously, according to the pie drawn by Doflamingo, it is completely possible to realize it.
This thing will not only be more profitable than smuggling arms, but more importantly, it will bring influence!
Think about it, there are suddenly several more animal-type Devil Fruit ability users, and they appear every year. The original pattern will undoubtedly be broken soon.
After all, the order of this world is based on strength.
If I have this thing but you don’t, sooner or later you will be beaten.
And Doflamingo, who controls the source of the artificial Devil Fruit, will naturally be praised as a god!
Or it can be regenerated into a huge interest group with it as the center.
Perhaps this is part of Doflamingo's ambition.
As for the disadvantages, not everyone here sees it.
This kind of super influence will undoubtedly attract the attention of those 'big shots'.
It’s just that now his self-confidence is overwhelming, and the journey has been smooth. Well, except for the original crane, the Doflamingo who has reached today feels that he can fully withstand the pressure in this aspect.
But Abel felt that he had no idea what he was going to face.
"Then the next family development plan is decided. I will personally be in charge when selling artificial devil fruits."
"Except for those who stay here, everyone else has put aside their tasks and concentrated on this matter."
"I don't want any accidents to happen then!"
Doflamingo's expression became serious as he recalled some bad memories.
Apparently the last time the Golden Fruit was snatched away from the auction, he still held a grudge to this day, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
After the meeting, everyone walked outside.
"What's the matter? You look so serious?"
Pique handed over a cigarette and asked strangely.
Abel lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke, "I don't know why, but I always feel that things are not that simple this time, and there may be some accidents."
"Isn't that natural? This is a new world!"
Pique thought he was going to say something.
The new world is indeed different. Otherwise, the Don Quixote family would not have stayed in this corner of Dressrosa for more than a year and not continued to expand its territory.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t!
In other words, it’s not yet time.
It can be said that the appearance of Caesar Coulan allowed Doflamingo to see another way forward.
"You do not understand."
Abel shook his head slightly, and then asked about the other party's family situation, which was considered to have missed the topic.
Before seeing the world's top combat power, no one knew why Abel said this.
