Chapter 1299: Pigs in a team
The negotiations between Su Xiao and Doflamingo could break down at any moment, but now both sides have reached an agreement.
Su Xiao handed Doflamingo a list of materials for creating Apollo's Wrath and top-level bombs. Of course, it was impossible to get the right materials in the world of Van Pease, but in the past, he had helped the World Government find analogs of these materials, so he knew their good counterparts that existed in this world.
Doflamingo immediately began to negotiate the supply of the necessary materials, but he acted in secret, he bought everything he needed through underground channels. As the leader of the underground world, Doflamingo obviously had a wide list of channels to purchase from.
At first, Doflamingo wanted to put Su Xiao in an underground port where he could safely create bombs, but Su Xiao refused, citing that it was too humid there and decided to place the production on the fourth floor of the villa.
Of course, Doflamingo wasn't very happy with this suggestion. Not only Doflamingo, but everyone in the Quixote family was against it. Shugar even said: "I don't want a bomb to go off over my head at one point».
After negotiations, the fourth floor of the villa was still the site of bomb production, but Pica had to increase the thickness of the walls and floor of the fourth floor to three meters.
Su Xiao understood that his cooperation with Doflamingo was very unstable, after defeating the Big Mama Pirates, the two sides would most likely go their separate ways, but it didn't matter.
Pica did his job in just two hours. He not only made the floor and walls thicker, but also added steel plates to them. Now, even if a cannonball hits the fourth floor of the villa, not even a crack will appear on the wall.
However, Sugar still went to the underground port with a pillow in her hands, as she was too angry.
The Doflamingo channels were very efficient and delivered the necessary materials in less than a day.
In front of the table, Su Xiao's hands suddenly flashed with a bright light.
After tens of seconds, an alchemy bomb appeared on the table.
After checking its properties, Su Xiao smiled.
Two-thirds of the plan was completed.
Su Xiao's plan went like clockwork, but the first bad news soon arrived.
The fleets of the Quixote family were defeated.
There were only three commanders in the Quixote family, and each of them had their own fleets.
Pica won and was able to return, but his own fleet was destroyed.
Trebol lost, his entire fleet was sunk, and he himself disappeared.
Diamante also lost, but most of his men managed to escape, he was seriously injured and was already swimming back to Dress Rosa.
Of the three commanders, two were defeated, one was seriously wounded, and one was missing altogether. Even when Diamante returns, he will have to first recover his strength, so only Pica will be able to join the battle if anything happens..
There were rumors that Trebol had died altogether, and if those rumors were true, then the contractor must have had a hand in it.
If the plot of this world developed according to canon, then the Quixote family would be able to apprehend the Big Mama pirates and establish a good cooperation with Kaido.
But due to the presence of contractors, it was hard to say who exactly would win. Judging from the current battle situation, the Big Mama Pirates had the upper hand, and they had at least a 70% chance of winning.
Since Doflamingo and Su Xiao were now in the same boat, he handed over the battle report to Doflamingo, as he didn't see the point of hiding something like this.
«Lao Ji: Killed in action.
Mahwais: Captured.
Gladius: Seriously injured.
Trebol: Unknown.
Diamante: Seriously injured.
Jolla: Seriously injured».
From this battle report, it was obvious that the Quixote family had suffered a lot, but that was normal, for their opponent was a faction of one of the four emperors. Although Doflamingo had considerable strength, it wasn't enough to stand up to Big Mama alone, and its ally, Kaido, wasn't very reliable.
After suffering such losses, Doflamingo gave up on continuing naval battles and instead decided to defend Dress Rosa. In other words, the next time Big Mama pirates will land on the island. This was one of the main advantages of the Quixote family. If the Big Mama pirates can land without paying this huge price, then they'll just have to give up.
Doflamingo was in a really difficult situation. He was only able to stay afloat because of his strength, all of his subordinates weren't really good enough for the current scope of action.
The morning after Su Xiao arrived at Dress Rose, he found that Dress Rose had turned into an "iron barrel" with a lot of pirates here and there.
The biggest advantage of Dress Rose was the huge rocks at the edge of the island. If the Big Mama pirates weren't stupid, they wouldn't try to land in this area. This area was not only very easy to defend, but also very difficult to knock out.
The morning sun shone down on the room. Su Xiao was enjoying his breakfast while Bubtney was still fast asleep in bed.
Although Su Xiao agreed to help Doflamingo and created bombs, he didn't spend more than 50% of his mana pool. When he was helping the Marines, he kept drinking mana recovery potions that were created by Vegapunk. Although Doflamingo was also able to obtain similar potions through his channels, the amount was limited.
But even though his resources were limited, Su Xiao created more than 900 Supreme Bombs and 2 Apollo Wraths1..
Su Xiao was now waiting for the Quixotes to fight the Big Mama Pirates, but there was something that puzzled Su Xiao greatly. The course of this war was too fast. If the meaning of the main task revolves around this war, then he will return back to Paradise too quickly.
But perhaps the last part of the main task will not be activated until the last phase of the war begins.
And this was not a baseless assumption. The battle for the Dress Rose was one of the most important events in this world.
— That doesn't sound very... " muttered Su Xiao. If his guess was correct, then the final stage would lead him to a very dangerous island.
— What? Hearing Su Xiao mutter, Dellinger, who was sitting across from her, was puzzled.
Dellinger was an officer of the Quixote family and a semi - fishman of the Fighting Fish. Although it looked harmless, it was actually cruel and merciless.
— It's fine, " Su Xiao replied and put the cup down on the table, then signaled Derringer to pick up the alchemy bomb from the table. This kid was obviously a spy for Doflamingo, and he had to keep an eye on him. "Tell Doflamingo to pick up the next batch in a day," and just as Su Xiao said that, an explosion came from somewhere far away.
Quickly getting up and going to the window, he saw a fireball in the sea not far from Dress Rosa.
The Big Mama Pirates were already knocking on doors.
They wanted to take the Dress Rose by surprise.
Big Mom was apparently enraged by the death of her eldest son, so she decided to vent all her anger on Dress Island..
