Chapter 1286: Causes of war
The sea completely calmed down, and the previously endlessly rocking ship froze.
Although the weather had cleared up, all the pirates on the ship had tense faces, and the veins on their hands were swollen. Although the Quixotes were famous and far from weak pirates, this time their opponents were a faction of one of the four emperors. Without the other emperor's support, the Quixotes would have been defeated a long time ago, as the gap in strength was too large.
Pirates from the Emperor faction, even if they were just ordinary pawns, were elite pirates. They were all strong and ruthless. Each of them was a desperate explorer of the sea. Without having a certain amount of fame, they were not eligible to join any of the four Emperors ' factions.
There were 15 ships in the area, 7 of which belonged to the Big Mama pirates, 4 to the Beasts and 4 to the Quixotes.
Given the battle of 8 ships against 7, the Quixote side should have won, but the Beasts only came here to help, not to fight to the death. The beasts were not on such good terms with the Quixotes, they were only partners, not allies for centuries.
If such a battle had happened a few months ago, the Beasts would have thought twice before sending their men to help, but recently the Quixotes were able to master the unique technology to create an artificial Devil fruit.
The artificial Devil Fruit might actually have been developed a long time ago, but unfortunately, the Quixotes didn't have enough resources to improve this technology, however, after they got the money, they were able to invest enough in this technology to bring this technology to mind, and at the moment, they even had options for starting mass production of these devil fruits.
Kaido, the leader of the Beasts, appreciated the artificial Devil fruits, so he sent his entourage to help the Quixotes.
As for the Big Mama pirates, did they really come here to take over the territory? Of course not. Dressel was at best a very rich and large island, but there were many such islands in the New World.
Getting into a conflict with Kaido plus Doflamingo just for the sake of one Dress Rose Island seemed like a very unwise move. Although Charlotte Linlin was a bit abnormal, she was still a pirate who aspired to become the "Pirate King", so she could understand exactly what was profitable and what would only bring losses.
Charlotte Linlin's real goal wasn't Dress Rose Island, but the technology to create artificial Devil fruit.
If this technology gets its hands on it, it will be a very good event for its grouping.
Although Doflamingo had the technology to create artificial Devil Fruits, it wasn't easy to create such things. At the head of the whole process was a scientist named Caesar Klown. Without it, Doflamingo couldn't create artificial Devil fruits.
It was up to Caesar Klawn to provide the raw materials from which the Tontatta tribe, who lived in the dungeon near Dress Rosa, created the necessary ingredients.
Without these two important components, the cost of producing artificial Devil Fruits will be very high, and the yield will be very low.
Since Charlotte Linlin wanted to get her hands on the artificial Devil Fruit production technology, she would have to take over Dress Rose Island along with the Tontatta Tribe as well.
In addition, she will also need to capture Caesar Klown.
But Charlotte Linlin didn't care about the difficulties. She gave a simple order that her men were to capture everything they needed.
That was how the Battle of Dress Rose began, with both sides battling for territory and technology to produce artificial Devil fruits.
Su Xiao leaned on the side of the ship, analyzing the situation. Almost all contractors would be able to reach this conclusion if they had the same information on hand.
Although there were currently factions to choose from that he could join, the Beasts were the most difficult to join. Joining the Quixotes or Big Mama Pirates was relatively easy.
Since the Big Mama pirates were the attacking party, their goal was to occupy the island and obtain the technology to produce the artificial Devil Fruit.
The Quixotes were defending themselves, so all they had to do was survive the attacks of the Big Mama pirates.
As for the Beasts, they only came to help, so they wouldn't recruit new people with the same ferocity that the other two factions had.
The ship Su Xiao was on belonged to Pika, one of the three" Elite Officers " of the Quixote family.
The hierarchy structure of the Quixote family was very interesting. The most important one, of course, was the Quixote Doflamingo, and below it were four divisions: clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts.
The most important of the clubs department was Trebol. It had the power of a Devil Fruit with the power of "Beta Beta no Mi". His strength was slightly above average, but his fighting style was a bit annoying. He fought with a sticky, slimy substance that could draw anyone to him, even if his opponent was many times stronger than him.
The most important one from the peak department was Pika, he was one of the top three strongest people from the Quixote family, and Su Xiao was on his ship right now. Most of the people in this department were Doflamingo guards, the most famous of which were Gladius, Baby 5, and Buffalo.
The most important of the tambourine department was Diamante, the oldest member of the Quixote family. As for its strength... Su Xiao would be able to deal with it within five minutes. His department was responsible for running the Bullfighting Coliseum in Dress Rosa.
Worms was a special department of the Quixote family. Most of the members of this department were in hiding and were in charge of intelligence. Some of the most famous representatives of this department were Vergo and Monet.
The area where Su Xiao was located was the scene of a battle between the Peak Division leader and Charlotte Perosparo.
Doflamingo trusted Pika very much, but he shouldn't underestimate Pika's opponent. Charlotte Perospero was the eldest son of Charlotte Linlin, and he had the power of the Devil Fruit type "Pero Pero no Mi", with the help of the power of this fruit, he could create candy. As long as he was on his feet, he could create an almost unlimited number of candies, and the candies he created were not inferior to ordinary candies.
But the Peak wasn't weak either. His 'Isi Isi no Mi' type fruit allowed him to become a stone golem, and when combined with his Armament Haki, it became a truly serious opponent. Although he couldn't easily defeat Perospero, he could hold him back without too much trouble.
With a whoosh, the ship that Su Xiao was on lowered its sails, and a dozen pirates began to steer the ship.
Not only did the ship's captain not give Su Xiao any trouble, but he also became quite friendly because he found out who Su Xiao was.
Yes, he actually recognized Su Xiao.
Su Xiao once helped the World Government create alchemy bombs. Back then, it was much weaker, but even then, the bombs it created made the World Government wary. They didn't want such a person to join any of the four emperors or the Revolutionary army. Alchemy bombs were of strategic importance, and the World Government understood this from the very beginning.
After the Enies Lobby incident, relations between Su Xiao and the World Government reached an impasse, which resulted in a bounty being placed on Su Xiao's head.
The bounty on Su Xiao's head was not quite ordinary and was only given out in one case, not like with pirates who could be dragged in dead. There would only be a bounty on Su Xiao's head if he was brought back alive, and the World Government would give the lucky man 200 million belli for that..
Doflamingo found out through his secret channels that Su Xiao was good at creating powerful bombs, so he sent people to search for Su Xiao, but all his attempts did not bring him anything, but all his subordinates saw the reward for Su Xiao's head and his portrait.
Since the sea battle was about to start, the leader of this ship didn't have time to report Su Xiao Pique's appearance and sent three of his confidants to keep an eye on him.
Su Xiao glanced at the three pirates nearby. He could deal with them with three simple shots.
