Just do what you think of, this is Li Ke's code of conduct in this world.
Li Ke abandoned Nami, who was already in the state, and suggested that the other party use a banana to top it first. Then, after the other party put a watermelon on his face, Li Ke walked out of the palace in disheveled clothes and said to Nami. Go to the warehouse.
On the day the Sand Crocodile died, the Sand Crocodile force without its leader immediately collapsed. They were caught, killed, and escaped in front of the Alabasta regular army.
But some important assets were retained and returned to the state treasury. Originally, Cobra planned to give all of this to him without taking any money, but because of Weiwei's face and the reputation that would be damaged by him in the future, after Li Ke left the money for a big ship, he gave all the rest to him. He did.
After all, it is better to provide icing on the cake than to provide help when the time is right. Alabasta is now full of waste and needs this money and supplies. These supplies are not of much use to Li Ke for the time being. After all, he only has two crew members in total. There are so many supplies that cannot be taken away and will not be used. It is better to use them as a favor.
It's just that he didn't expect a surprise.
Moreover, things like Devil Fruit can also be stored in the warehouse, and no one knows that Li Ke will not believe that there is no Doflamingo in the palace, and by analogy, he can hide the Sand Crocodile and use the Sand Crocodile He has the resources to do things for himself, and it would be unrealistic for Sand Crocodile not to have his people under his command.
"Doflamingo is really powerful. He is worthy of being a man who takes both sides, black and white, and does business all over the world."
Li Ke sighed at this, and followed the guard's guidance to the warehouse where Robin and Monet were staying not long ago. And at a glance, he saw Monet, who was wearing glasses and discussing some issues with Robin.
Robin was smiling and recording something, but he saw Li Ke before Monet, and the smile on his face became brighter. As for Monet, he didn't notice Li Ke and continued to talk about what he said before.
"...These are the grains and fruits that our young master bought before. Because of our cooperation, I think they need to be shipped immediately. This is good for our cooperation. In order to show our sincerity, we can also We will provide additional discounts on future weapons transactions..."
After finishing speaking, Monet, who had a beautiful face, suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She turned her head and looked behind her, and then she found Li Ke looking at her with a smile and couldn't help applauding.
"Coming from a place where food is scarce, Doflamingo doesn't even lose his own money in this business. It's really amazing."
Monet's heart suddenly flashed. She was ready to attack. The purpose of her coming here was to safely deliver the two phantom beast fruits. Negotiating with Li Ke was a task that came later.
For Kaido, who wants to form a pirate group full of animal-type fruits, the fixed-point fantasy beast type among the animal-type devil fruits is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought, not to mention the combat power of a fantasy beast-type devil fruit. Yes, just because of their animal type, they can be sold at Kaido's price for some rare natural types.
To be more precise, the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit, which basically represents the combat power of a lieutenant general, is a huge favor. As for Tadashi and Doflamingo, she absolutely cannot give up these two huge favors if she wants Doflamingo to ascend to the position of Pirate King.
"It's just that the prices were different at that time. Although we can sell more if we deal with it here, integrity is the first priority in doing business, isn't it? This is also the sincerity of our young master in doing business."
She pretended to be calm and told the reason, but looking at Li Ke's half-smiling expression, she knew that she might not be able to hide it. But she didn't want her young master Doflamingo to cancel the alliance with the other party without knowing it, so even though she knew it was not good for her, she still endured the strong sense of oppression she felt from Li Ke. He didn't run away, and he didn't take action in excitement.
"Phantom beast type devil fruit."
But Li Ke's words made Monet excited and grabbed a bag, trying to break the wall and escape. But Li Ke looked at the bag in her hand and couldn't help but shook his head.
The bag this woman was holding was just an ordinary bag of grain, and it didn't have any devil fruit. So it was just a cover-up. It was thought that the real Devil Fruit would be transferred away by someone else after she lured him away.
Of course, if she discovers this, with the temper of pirates in this world, this woman will not end well. But for this woman, knowing this, she chose to use her life to protect and transfer the two phantom beast devil fruits.
So Li Ke just smiled and had no plans to expose her plan, capture her, torture her, or go fishing.
"Tell your young master, I need this. Since he has a way to get this, he should be able to get these things. Whether he exchanges it with other devil fruits or buys it with money, if there is any, I A big price will be paid.”
Knocking on the shelf next to him, Li Ke looked at Monet who was still wary of him. He hugged Robin on one side and spoke again under the dissatisfied gaze of the other person.
"I'm a guest who came here after hearing the news. Isn't it a good idea to be so cautious?"
Monet looked at Robin, who looked ugly, and Li Ke, who had no murderous intent at all, and finally chose to give up his guard, then nodded.
She thought it was because of Doflamingo that Li Ke didn't grab it. For this reason, I chose to believe Li Ke's words.
But the way she looked at Robin was quite angry, or rather angry. She didn't know how this woman knew where their things were, but if Li Ke could get the information, it had nothing to do with the other party.
Although Robin looked at her indifferently, Li Ke, who was hugging her, could feel the slight trembling on his body, so he waved to Monet and took out Robin who was calling him an idiot in his heart. This warehouse.
Just when Robin felt Li Ke's hands swinging freely on his waist and thought about how to stab Li Ke in the back and leave him, Li Ke spoke.
"Don't do such dangerous things next time. My cooperation with a scum like Doflamingo won't last long, so there's no need to rush to give me a certificate. Just make sure they don't deceive me. It’s okay to continue the slave and contraband trade in this area.”
His relaxed tone made Robin's eyes twitch and feel a little confused. Robin knew about his desire for the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit, so he told Li Ke after discovering the secret of the two Devil Fruits.
But now Li Ke doesn't act like someone who desires the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit. The people she knows will not give up such a good opportunity.
"Don't you really need a fantasy beast devil fruit?"
Li Ke nodded. He did want to take away the two Devil Fruits at first. But he really can't do this kind of thing when he promises others to be allies and then steals things from others.
"Yes, but aren't Doflamingo and I allies now? Even though our alliance will not last long, we are still allies after all."
After hearing these words, Robin showed a flawless smile, but in his heart he was already calling Li Ke a fool again.
"You are really a man of your word."
Li Ke also knew this, but what he said was what he said. It was a pity that he could not discover the two devil fruits before agreeing with Doflamingo, but now that it is like this, he does not need to fight for one. Scumbag things break through their own creed.
But, if Monet had attacked him just now, it would basically mean that the covenant between the two parties was broken, and he could just grab it.
But it's a pity, that woman is a rare good woman, but it's a pity that she followed the wrong person, a person who was destined to die in her own hands.
"If you think I'm an idiot, you can just say so. Beauty has the privilege of not scolding me three times. You haven't used it yet, so feel free to use it and then praise my generosity."
He wanted to pat Robin's butt, but when he thought of the other party's clear refusal, Li Ke retracted his hand angrily and stopped doing such teasing things, but looked at Robin seriously.
"That's it. The job I gave you is not enough to put you in danger. Robin, just do what you can. I'm not a pirate, so there is no need to treat me the same way you treat pirates."
This is the purpose of Li Ke. Li Ke is really interested in Robin. Even if the other person is not willing to be his bed partner, the other person's ability and appearance can make him feel a lot better.
After all, although Nuo Qigao can be trusted 100%, her experience has destined her to not know how to deal with many things. Nami, on the other hand, is naive a lot of the time, which is not bad, but sometimes she needs a more rational person like Robin.
Moreover, Robin's knowledge was enough to help him solve many things that he didn't understand, so he would rather give up two fantasy beast devil fruits to let Robin know that he would not live up to what he once said.
"You're too naive."
Robin sighed slightly. Li Ke had no restrictions on her, nor had she threatened what would happen if she didn't do things for him, and he even promised to protect her.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy she became. It seemed that Li Ke only had physical needs for her. But this kind of demand is quite unstable in her eyes. The more Li Ke shows that he values his agreement and does not have more demands on Robin, the more uneasy Robin will be.
"It's just about fulfilling what you've said."
These words reminded Robin of many things she had experienced. She had experienced too many betrayals. Those people, like Li Ke, said they would fulfill their agreements, but the result was that they all violated their agreements.
Some do it for their own bounty, and some do it after discovering that recruiting them is of little use, but will instead attract more violent attacks from the navy.
In short, since she left O'Hara, no one has really fulfilled their promise to her.
"It's easy for a naive person like you to die."
Shaking his head, Robin left Li Ke. She no longer wants to be with Li Ke. Although Li Ke can protect her, such an innocent person cannot survive in this world.
No matter how powerful he is.
Integrity to him is weakness to those pirates. How can a man who can't even see this clearly survive in this world?
Li Ke didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, but watched Robin leave and return to his palace. Looking at Nami, who was still shouting for food but had fallen asleep due to fatigue, he hugged her to sleep to replenish her energy. , getting ready for tomorrow’s exercise.
But he slept comfortably, but Monet was almost scared to death. After confirming that Li Ke was gone, she immediately arranged for people to secretly transfer the two fantasy beast devil fruits.
Even though Li Ke said that she would not take action, she did not intend to gamble on this matter. After confirming that the two Devil Fruits were on their ship and that they would arrive at the Chambord Islands soon, and that they would be escorted by their own people along the way, her heart dropped to her stomach.
And after she finished doing these things, she didn't forget to report the matter to Doflamingo.
But even with Doflamingo's mind, he didn't understand why Li Ke let go of two precious Devil Fruits with just a few words. He also inquired about Li Ke's request and knew that the king had planned it. He returned the phantom-type devil fruit in his treasure house to Kobra.
In fact, he was prepared. If Li Ke took away his fantasy beast devil fruits, then he would take away these fantasy beast fruits that were supposed to be given to Li Ke.
"...Is that so? Tell him that the fantasy beast-type Devil Fruit is very precious. My customer has already ordered it, but next time I find it, I can give him one first and it will be at a preferential price. As for those two Please don’t take other routes and send it directly to Shampoo. Our buyer committed suicide recently, so just let him go there and get it by himself.”
Doflamingo also felt more at ease. As long as those fruits were not with Li Ke, he had ten thousand ways to ensure the safety of those fruits.
Monet nodded, but after thinking about it, he still spoke.
"Understood, young master, is our plan B still implemented?"
Plan B was to snatch the fantasy beast fruits that he wanted to return to Li Ke, and Doflamingo nodded after hesitating.
"Don't do unnecessary things. You continue to monitor Li Ke... If the time is right, I will find someone to do it."
He didn't plan to have a direct conflict with Li Ke. Although he was very dissatisfied with the other party for forcing him to keep Monet, he didn't know Li Ke's true intentions. people to take action.
And he firmly believed that his buyer would definitely be able to deal with this pirate butcher who suddenly appeared.
Because this buyer has a well-known name in this world.
The strongest creature in the world!
Kaido!
