Extra 13: We are Pirates ~! (31)

"Ok, I'm surprised" - said Doflamingo as he saw how his companions were practically naked, just like him - "I never thought you were so good at this."

"I've never lost a game that has to do with luck, it's an innate talent" - replied Kurama as he shrugged and received a few promissory notes - "Thank you very much, with this I'll be able to buy diapers for my baby."

Mihawk's eyebrow twitched slightly as he picked up his clothes and put them on, only to sigh regretfully, after all, he never thought he would be humiliated like this.

"God, my numbers are now in the red" - Moriah muttered as he looked up at the sky with vacant eyes - "Maybe I should use my ship as a tourist site, at least then I would have a steady income and no legal problems."

"Give me a moment to bring you the money, I don't plan to be left owing anyone for more than 30 minutes" - Doflamingo said with a frown, after all, his pride didn't allow him to owe anyone anything.

"You don't have to be so hasty, Doffy" - said Kurama with a huge smile.

Doflamingo's expression quickly changed to an annoyed one, but after a few seconds it returned to normal - "No, if I have the money to pay, I'll do it right away because the feeling of owing someone something, it's horrible."

"As you wish" - Kurama replied as he snapped his fingers and made a strange bottle appear.

"So that's the rumored ability that allows you to create whatever you want" - Doflamingo said with fascination - "But the question is, can you create anything?"

"As long as I have the necessary information, and a mental image of what I wish to create" - replied Kurama calmly.

"Does that mean you can create [Akuma no Mi]?" - Doflamingo asked excitedly.

"Hmm, I've never thought of that, but it's possible" - replied Kurama as he started to think - "I'd have to try it to see if I can or not though."

"Let's try it right away" - Doflamingo said seriously as he took out a strange book with pictures that had quite specific descriptions.

"You came prepared" - said Kurama sarcastically.

"No, I didn't even know you were coming to replace Boa Hancock" - Doflamingo replied with a frown because the albino was making it sound like he was desperate for his help - "I have this information on hand because you never know when one might find an [Akuma no Mi], but whatever, what I want to see is if you can recreate this fruit"

"A [Zoan Mythic]?" - Kurama said while raising an eyebrow - "Your appetite is huge, Doffy."

"I've never seen one up close, so I'm curious how it feels to have it in front of my eyes" - replied Doflamingo with a calm smile.

"[Uo Uo no Mi: Moderu Seiryū, (Fish Fish Fish Fruit: Model Blue Dragon)]" - said Kurama while stroking his chin.

Those present widened their eyes in terror and surprise because they immediately recognized the fruit, after all, this was none other than the fruit held by one of the [Yonko], Kaido The Beast.

"You're playing with fire, Doflamingo" - Mihawk said seriously - "That monster is not easy to handle if he finds out about this."

"I know, there's no one in this place who knows better than me what it's like to be in front of Kaido" - Doflamingo replied neutrally - "Now let's see how it all plays out"

Kurama remained thoughtful for a few seconds before snapping his fingers, only for a strange round blue-colored fruit.

"Interesting, it seems to be in the shape of an [Akuma no Mi], but we still can't check if it's effective or not" - Doflamingo replied as he slowly extended his hands to the fruit, only to see it disappear without a trace - ". . ."

"That wasn't very smart, Doffy-chan" - said Kurama as he shook his head - "There's no way I'm giving you this fruit if it's real."

Doflamingo's expression changed to one of fury, but he quickly calmed down because he knew it wasn't a good idea to create friction between the two parties, not when the man in front of him could create [Akuma no Mi] without needing to expend as many resources as Caesar Clown did.

Moriah was also surprised to see this as he thought about how to get Kurama on his side after this end, with his ability there was no need to create an army of zombies, now he just had to create an elite force and strengthen himself, that would be enough to become a superpower of the seas.

Mihawk for his part just shrugged his shoulders, after all, he had the mentality that the only way to become strong was by training and breaking his limits, and not by external means such as the strange fruits that gave supernatural powers.

"Then how are we going to check?" - Doflamingo asked with a frown.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I don't think we can check it for now, not when I don't see anyone worthy of eating this fruit" - said Kurama with disdain as he looked at the navy soldiers who were watching the fruit from the distance - "I don't have to strengthen a hostile force."

"You have a point" - replied Doflamingo as he clicked his tongue - "I wish you would let me know the outcome though, maybe then we could do some better business."

"Ok" - replied Kurama with boredom, although honestly, he wasn't thinking of accepting this proposal because he could feel the growing hostility from Doflamingo.

Sengoku for his part could only swallow hard when he saw the devil fruit appear in Kurama's hands, not knowing what to say.

"This is much worse than we thought, if that man returns to [Amazon Lily], we may now have to face a kingdom full of monsters" - said Akainu seriously.

"That's true" - Kisaru nodded in terror at the thought of facing more than one Kaido in the future.

"You guys don't understand, if that man can recreate the [Uo Uo no Mi: Moderu Seiryū], what's stopping him from recreating the [Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor Tremor Fruit)]?" - Sengoku said as a cold sweat ran down his back - "We have to think this through seriously, if we attack that man, and fail to subdue him, then we will be creating an enemy far more dangerous than Monkey D. Dragon."

Garp, who had been sleeping all this time, quickly opened his eyes when he heard his son's name - "Huh? Did that idiot come home?"

Sengoku and the others decided to ignore the old navy hero as they continued to talk about the seriousness of the situation.

"What do you think, Garp?" - Sengoku asked as he saw how the conversation was going nowhere.

"It's simple, ignore him" - replied Garp as he wiped his ear - "As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, we have no reason to attack him."

"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation, Garp" - Akainu said neutrally.

"No, I think you guys don't understand the situation" - said Garp as he looked coldly at his companions - "We are facing a monster, one that could be on the same level as Kaido or [Shirohige], and you guys are trying to disturb him while he sleeps."

"That's why we should attack him now that he's off guard" - Akainu said seriously.

"That's where you're wrong, he's not unprepared, he's waiting for the right moment to attack" - Garp said with a frown - "He possesses a similar attitude to Roger, so I can say for sure that he's just watching us dance like clowns while he enjoys the act"

Sengoku's expression changed slightly as the admirals stood silently with different expressions.

Kisaru was showing a teasing expression because he didn't believe what he heard.

Aokiji was thoughtful at the words of the old sea hero.

Akainu was furious because his pride would not allow a pirate to look at him as a joke, he was one of the leaders of the navy, as well the absolute justice, he wouldn't let a pirate, or a criminal, look down on him.

"I hope you won't do anything stupid during the operation, brat" - Garp said as he looked at Akainu seriously.

"I won't do anything, this is important for the navy in general" - Akainu replied neutrally while throwing an annoyed glance in the direction where the [Shichibukai] were, the biggest mistake the world government had made in his opinion, after all, using pirates to fight piracy, was a grave mistake.

"Anyway, we'd better start with the preparations for our convict's arrival" - Sengoku said seriously.

Garp's expression changed slightly, but he still nodded at Sengoku's words.

It hurt him that Ace had to suffer, but at the same time he was sure that things would take a 180° turn, or rather, he wished it would all turn out that way.

"Garp, I want you to keep your mind on the mission" - said Sengoku as he looked carefully at his old friend - "I know it's hard for you, but this is serious."

"I know, you don't have to say it twice" - Garp replied as he shook his head - "As a vice-admiral, it is my duty to bring pirates to justice, even if they are part of my family"
