chapter 9

Adam Rice, I thought we were friends."

Doflamingo, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, sneered. The unique laughter was so harsh that Adam Ruins ouldn't help but frown his beautiful eyebrows.

"What's the matter, we have been working together for several years, and now it's too late to come to me to determine our relationship..."

Adam Rice narrowed his eyes and glanced at the transparent silk thread that was holding stubbornly against his sword, making a piercing sound.

This thing is really dangerous.

If it wasn't for him being alert enough and having battle-hardened fighting experience, he would have suffered a loss if he was replaced by the fledgling chick from Gion.

You are still as interesting as before!"

Doflamingo's fingers moved slightly, and there seemed to be a sound of breaking air in the void. Adam Les felt that the pressure from the sword suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Don't blame me for shooting you, after all, you know very well that Trebol is like a family connected by blood to me, but you kicked him outside ... "

A suffocating killing intent flashed under Doflamingo's sunglasses, he stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, grinning:

"If it weren't for the friendship between you and me, you would be a dead person now!!!"

Adam Rice smiled disapprovingly, ignoring the guy's provocation at all, and said lightly:

"The same reason, if it wasn't for the friendship between you and me, do you think my kick would avoid Torrepol's heart?"

"You should know very well that people like me hate others sneaking on my back."

Having said that, he also took two steps forward unceremoniously, took a cigar on the coffee table in the hall, cut it open, and lit it.

He swaggered down on the sofa across from Doflamingo, squinting and puffing.

Doflamingo's mad grin on his face slowly stopped.

Although he shouted, let the damn navy in front of him become a dead man...

But in the course of dealing with him over the past few years, he has a deep understanding of how dangerous this guy Adam Rice is.

He still vividly remembers the first time he saw this guy sitting across from him struttingly smoking a cigar...

It was more than three years ago, and Doflamingo himself was full of anger and hatred, and had just been kicked out of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

He led the start-up Don Quixote family to North sea, thinking of forming his own power.

But the North Sea Mafia and underground forces are intricate, and even the navy has a headache, and Doflamingo was younger than now, but in his early ten years.

When he first arrived, his eyes were darkened, and he didn't know where to start.

And in a chance to hang out and squat, he met Adam Rice when he was down.

At that time, Adam Rice was just a first-class soldier under the Admiral Sakazuki of the North Sea.

But during a mission, a total of ten members of Adam Rice's naval team encountered a terrifying ambush.

The incident happened in a town named Locke, thirty nautical miles away from Lubeck Island.

Adam Rice's navy team was surrounded at the end of the street by a notorious local mafia family due to an intelligence error.

The end of the road, these four words are no longer suitable to describe the situation of Adam Rice and the others.

And Doflamingo and the others witnessed that scene with their own eyes.

Adam Rice, the terrifying-looking guy, broke out of the siege with his own strength when all his teammates died in battle.

Doflamingo remembered that scene very clearly.

That guy had stab wounds all over his body, and he was chased and chopped down on the street by dozens of mafia members like a bloody man.

In the end, in disregard of military regulations, he just broke into the civilian area, led the mafia to the coal mine, completely detonated the explosives in the coal mine, and barely escaped.

Then, Adam Rice, who was seriously injured, did not choose to return to the branch immediately.

Instead, he dragged his severely injured body and came alone to the connector in the underground black market.

without hesitation,

without giving that person any chance to explain,

One knife cut off the head of the intermediary who gave false information and betrayed the Navy.

One day later,

When the Admiral Sakazuki of North sea learned about this, he was furious and directly sent troops to forcefully suppress all the mafia members in the town of Locke.

On that day, the smell of blood stained the entire town, and corpses piled up on the ground.

And Adam Rice, a first-class soldier, was not held responsible for breaking into a civilian area and blowing up a coal mine because of this incident.

Instead, the Admiral of North sea, Sakazuki, defied public opinion and promoted him to the rank of Navy lieutenant.

Originally, Doflamingo thought it was over.

But what he didn't expect was,

A week later, Adam Rice, who had recovered from his injury, took the initiative to find himself and said something like this—

"Fuck with me. In the future, the underground forces in Beihai will belong to Brother Doflamingo."

That is, from that day on, Doflamingo and the Don Quixote family led by him finally opened the underground market of Beihai.

With the acquiescence of the North Sea Navy and the military, the Don Quixote family entered the town of Locke, which had been cleaned up by the Navy, and used it as the first pot of gold to grow rapidly.
