Chapter 94 (2/2)
”A few days ago I was staying on a rural island not far away from Dress Rosa, recovering from some wounds I sustained a while ago that were rather deep. That was though until I received the newspapers one beautiful morning and guess what. To my surprise, the man that caused me these injuries had caused an incident of such magnitude in just a few days that all my plans were thrown over board like a piss drunken sailor in a vicious storm. But fortunately while doing so he rang the bell you may have heard yourself in the process. A bell that signals the start of the contest for the throne that has been empty for a long time now. War is coming and I intend to participate in it. What do you say Doflamingo? Why not join me in an alliance for a while? ZEHAHAHAHA!” Blackbeard spoke, his voice reveberating through the room that sent shivers down the occupants inside of it while Doflamingo remained silent in contemplation while his face was completely blank.
While Doflamingo was thinking one of his commanders and member of his family spoke up, ripping Doflamingo out of his thoughts along with the droning voice that was nearly overtuned by the belowing laughter caused by Blackbeard.
”We have only just started our negociations with Kaido, Joker. It is not yet too late to pick a path of our own. Though that would mean we would have to go against an emperor sooner then was originally planned... What should we do Joker?” Trebol spoke while snot was running down said mans nose as was common from him.
Doflamingo only hummed in thought at his subordinates words, thoughts running a hundred miles per second all the while.
”Oh? I would have thought someone with your connections would have an inside source in the marines and thus would have informed you zehahaha” Blackbeard spoke, slightly laughting at the end in amus.e.m.e.nt which brought another vein onto Doflamingos forhead. He would have to speak with Vergo after this meeting...
”After Azul caused the destruction of Impel Down and burned down Mary Geoise a man I had contacted previously to the destruction of Impel Down, who by now has become a member of my crew, informed me from inside the marines of the decisions that have been made yesterday morning in a meeting of the highest authorities of the marines after which he left the headquarters in the bustling and began his journey to join me. The marines have decided to relocate their headquarters into the New World and it is only a matter of time until further drastic measures will be taken, I can assure you of that Zehahahaha!” Blackbeard spoke, silencing all the murmurs that had started in the room, bringing a shocked silence to the occupants.
”...So it is true... Fine. I will join you in an alliance but don't think for a second that I won't rip your throat out on a moments notice should you even think about backstabbing me!” Doflamingo said with steel in his voice, shocking the occupants in the room once more into further silence only disturbed by Blackbeards bellowing laughter.
”That's what I wanted to hear. May the strongest prevail and earn himself the right to wear the title of 'King of the Pirates', ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Blackbeard spoke loudly after which his whole crew began to laugh alongside their captain.
Doflamingo meanwhile was grinning to himself while his crew began to cheer in anticipation to the coming days.
'Indeed, only the strongest will prevail but that doesn't mean the strongest will be dumb as well Blackbeard. Only I will become King of the pirates! You will see in due time hehehehehe...' Doflamingo thought to himself while his grin widened in glee.
Not long afterwards the two captains settled down in a nearby room and began their planning and with it the elimination of the fiercest competition while both of them pursued their own agendas along with the slowly building plans that would bring each closer to the throne...
