Doflamingo just quietly stared at Dr. Clover, and the scene became dull for a while, so Olvia who was on the side felt a little uneasy.
Indeed, just like Doflamingo's previous conjecture, Olvia and Dr. Clover did have malice towards him. This time Olvia is willing to personally take action and go to Sleeping Ancient Town with Doflamingo, mainly to see if there's an opportunity to bury Doflamingo, who knew Ohara's mystery from nowhere, in the dust of history.
Literati don't kill with a knife, and neither do scholars.
If you want to get rid of a person, there are still many ways and means in the other's professional field.
But let it be clear, Doflamingo is the little overlord in the dark world of North Blue. Over the years, he has seen people who tried to entrap him in various ways, and he has long been familiar with it.
If you say that there is some annoyance in his heart, there is indeed, but not much, the main reason is that he is used to this kind of deceit.
After all, it is entirely understandable. If he was in their position, he too would definitely kill him to silence him.
Doflamingo's slender fingers tapped on the table lightly, breaking the dull atmosphere. He didn't intend to breach their bottom line and embarrass everyone, after all, the matter has not reached this point yet.
"A former partner of mine told me that sometimes, asking for too little of a price in cooperation often leads to the breakdown of cooperation, and even exacerbates the rift of distrust..." Doflamingo said softly.
Dr. Clover swallowed, but didn't say anything.
But vaguely, he also seemed to feel that there was some truth in these words.
Thinking about it carefully, the reason why he doesn't trust Doflamingo much actually has certain factors. He thinks that Doflamingo's 'asking price' is too light. He used a bargaining chip that is enough to subvert and destroy Ohara, and only asked about the information and information about Sleeping Ancient Town....it makes one believe that he will ask more in the future!
Doflamingo faintly showed a forceful aura. He is indeed not very strong, but that is for New World, in front of scholars like Olvia and Dr. Clover, he Doflamingo is still very oppressive!
This made Dr. Clover and Olvia swallow their saliva, and their hearts became more and more nervous, for fear that this guy Doflamingo would suddenly show his true colors as the king of the North Blue underworld!
At the moment when the cold sweat dripped from Dr. Clover's forehead, Doflamingo also said in a deep voice: "The deal is about to change. In order for you to 'trust' me more, now I have three conditions..."
Before Dr. Clover and Olvia opened their mouths, Doflamingo continued: "First, I want you to send the most professional team to Sleep Ancient Town and bring me something back. Second, I want a copy of the practical knowledge of Haki power, not the kind of thing that is in the streets of the New World.....the kind of knowledge that tells you how to advance Haki. Third.....I want a copy of Devil fruit encyclopedia, the most comprehensive version that Ohara has.
Compared with the small "demand" before, this time Doflamingo's asking price is not low!
After hearing this, Dr. Clover hurriedly said, "Doflamingo, there's no need for us to make trouble for you at all..."
However, before Dr. Clover finished speaking, Doflamingo said with an evil smile: "Fufufufu... I gave you the chance to be friends, doctor, but unfortunately, we seem to be unable to become friends, so now, I have to change my way of communication. Ohara must fulfill the three conditions I just mentioned, not even one can be missing, or else..."
When Doflamingo said this, his eyes under the sunglasses darkened a lot, and he added in a cold tone: "Don't blame me for being too aggressive, the secrets hidden by Ohara, the evidence that you scholars illegally study historical texts and ancient texts, will within twenty-four hours, show up at Mariejois' CP agency desk!"
Doflamingo made it clear this time, and he also felt that maybe he was too kind to Ohara before, maybe these scholars are just scumbags? You treat them well, they want to f**k you, but if you beat them, they will do things for you honestly.
Dr. Clover's expression fluctuated and he was very flustered, but looking through the sunglasses and looking at Doflamingo's cold eyes, he finally understood that he and Olvia seemed to have angered the man in front of him.
But after all, he has seen many top scholars worldwide. After a short period of panic and loss, Dr. Clover gradually stabilized his emotions, looked at Doflamingo, and said in a deep voice: "Haki's knowledge and Devil Fruit illustrated book...we can do that, but what do you want us to bring you back from Sleeping Ancient Town? How can you be sure that that thing is there? If it doesn't exist at all, wouldn't it be impossible for us to fulfill your condition?"
Doflamingo was stunned for a moment, damn, Ohara is really generous and has enough background, did he ask for a little less just now? Is it too late to ask more?
Needless to say, the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, all major forces actually have this thing more or less, but the quality is uneven. When Doflamingo was young, he also saw this thing in Mariejois.
The Devil Fruit encyclopedia is not static, but it is constantly updated based on the existing information. For top forces, such as the World Government and Naval Headquarters, the Devil Fruit encyclopedia in their hands is definitely more detailed and richer than other people's, thanks to their strong intelligence capabilities.
As a sacred place of knowledge and culture, Ohara may not have very good intelligence capabilities in this regard, but its network of connections is very powerful. The encyclopedia they have is likely to be cross-referenced with the book in the hands of the world government.
Doflamingo himself intends to collect Devil Fruit in the dark world. Whether it is for sale, building a relationship network, or preparing for his own cadres, devil fruits are necessary, and to do this efficiently he needs the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.
Of course, he didn't intend to get it from Ohara at first, but he planned to wait for the right time later to see if he could connect with the World Government.
As for the knowledge of Haki's practice, it's still the same thing, Ohara may not have it, but Dr. Clover will definitely get it with his connections!
Thousands of thoughts passed through Doflamingo's head, but in reality, it had just been a moment.
Hearing what the doctor said, Doflamingo said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's true that what I want is in Sleeping Ancient Town...so try to find it."
"You..." Dr. Clover gave Doflamingo a helpless look, and then said, "What do you want?"
"Devil Fruit." Doflamingo didn't mean to hide, and there was no need to hide.
I'm holding Ohara's biggest weakness in my hand, so I'm not afraid of them jumping around and making trouble for me!
"Devil Fruit!?" Dr. Clover was a little confused, and Olvia was also very surprised.
All this for one Devil Fruit?
"Perhaps in the hearts of you scholars, Devil Fruit is not too precious, and I don't intend to argue with you about it. In short, go find this Devil Fruit, bring it back, and give it to me..." Doflamingo said here, He paused for a while, and then said: "It's Mythical Zoan Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire... it's in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, so I don't need to describe it."
"Mythical Zoan?" Dr. Clover was surprised, but not too shocked.
It can be said that Mythical Zoan are indeed rare, but just like what Doflamingo said, in the eyes of their scholars, Devil Fruit is not that important.
At the same time, Olvia looked at Doflamingo and asked: "Once we complete these three conditions, how will you guarantee Ohara's safety..."
Doflamingo sneered, and then said: "I promised it before, but you don't trust me, so now that things have become like this, I don't need to promise anything..."
As he said that, Doflamingo stood up. His height of nearly three meters brought a strong sense of oppression to the two of them.
There was an evil smile on his face, and he said softly: "Do as I say, this is the only option you Ohara can choose, and then... just pray, pray that after I have gained something, my mood will be improved. If I am happy, I'll forget about the previous unpleasantness, and if all goes well, Ohara will be fine."
