Eneru: That is the Royal Aura!

The so-called "brainwashing" is not to completely change a person's character.

Apophis' weakened version of "oratory" does not have that power either.

What he wants to do is to change a particular idea.

Like most preaching in general, brainwashed people usually will not look too strange when not touching the most critical point.

So, Tesoro's hatred for the Celestial Dragons has not changed; the pursuit of wealth has not changed; the only thing that has changed is only a specific belief in the heart.

It changed from believing that he could take revenge to think that he could take revenge under the wise leadership of Apophis-sama.

With no outsiders explicitly opposed to Apophis, it will only show this with proper admiration and respect.

At least in the eyes of Doflamingo, Tesoro accepted his fate.

And it was in this context that the discussion between the three took place.

Tesoro, who was given complete trust and was told everything, said after a moment of contemplation, "In my opinion, the absolute neutral zone mentioned by Apophis-sama is in itself the greatest treasure!"

"By itself?" Doflamingo wisely played the role of a question machine.

"You should have heard the saying that the most profitable in a casino is always the dealer."

Tesoro said thoughtfully, "As long as we can take advantage of the reputation of the World Government and Apophis-sama to develop the neutral zone into the world's largest trade market. Just manipulating the market and collecting taxes is enough to make us the richest people in this sea!"

"But it's not easy, is it?" Doflamingo asked.

"No, it is simply a matter of course for us. The two main things that hinder the economic development of this world are transportation and security."

"Our neutral zone is not able to completely solve the problem of transportation, but at least it can give those merchants the best trading platform."

"As for safety, what other place on this sea is safer than a neutral zone with government recognition and the shelter of Yonko?"

"Even, we can completely set the price of the hotel high. Squeeze the value those who are not settling for a long time, only for a short time to escape from the pursuit."

"How ruthless!" Doflamingo twitches the corners of his mouth at the same time and can not help but think in his heart, "If there really is such an absolute shelter that prohibits killing each other, for most people, should not mind using money to survive!"

"Apophis-sama must have thought of all this long ago to deliberately ask for the recognition of the World Government, it's really too formidable!" Tesoro flattered from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, there's another problem with doing that." Apophis said blandly.

"Apophis-sama should be talking about the trade-off, if someone really provoked the other four emperors, we may have to make a trade-off between credibility and profit!"

Tesoro frowned and said, "It's indeed a bit foolish to block an enemy of that level for some money, but if you back down and hand over someone, the reputation of the Absolute Neutral Zone will go straight to bankruptcy."

"Troublesome things like ..." laughed Doflamingo, "wouldn't it be enough to make everyone forget? Fuffuffuffu!"

"The fruit ability of Sugar?" Apophis's tone appeared a rare fluctuation, which is indeed the ability to make people scared.

"I knew I couldn't hide anything from you." Doflamingo shrugged his shoulders and said.

Although Tesoro did not quite understand, seeing that Apophis had said so, he did not express his opinion.

"Then the matter of the neutral zone is settled, you guys get ready first." After Apophis finished speaking, he pushed open the spatial door and disappeared directly from in front of the two people's eyes.

...

"Father, it's me, it's okay, we're really okay."

"We're not being held captive by Apophis."

"Nor were we threatened."

"It took so long to come back, actually because we haven't found him until now."

"That guy is so mysterious that even his subordinates don't know where he is."

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up now."

Hang up Den Den Mushi, Marco a long breath of relief.

Obviously, in worrying about his son in this regard, even a man like Whitebeard can not help but become rambling.

This island is Sicily, a beautiful island captured by Apophis's newly conquered crew.

The sea pirates attack each other would have been expected, and Marco naturally does not have any idea of justice.

Not to mention, they still had to beg for help this time.

"Marco, you say this Apophis is really strange, let these newly conquered people capture the island, should be the intention to set up a power, but why he himself did not appear for so long?" Jozu asked in a sullen voice

"If he could be seen through, he wouldn't be Apophis." Marco leaned back lazily in his chair, "Like Father once said, that guy is as mysterious as the Red Count was back then."

"But, after we meet Apophis, do we really have that kind of financial power to buy back pure gold from him?" Vista, who was standing at the side, was a little worried.

Having the world's strongest name of the Whitebeard Pirates is not as rich as the outside world imagined. On the one hand, they rarely levy high taxes on those forces that carry their flag; on the other hand, their old man often giving his share of the treasure to the impoverished homeland.

While pretending not to know, they would secretly make that donated treasure more abundant.

"Judging from his last action, he probably intends to become Yonko." Marco said in a deep voice, "Although we can't give much leverage, we can give him enough support in this matter."

"Now the marine is too strong, it is good to have Apophis more to balance the situation." Jozu nodded and said.

Just at this time, a lazy voice sounded.

"You are the people of the Whitebeard Pirates? I would like to introduce myself, I am the highest cadre under Apophis-sama, Thunder God Eneru."

The man who spoke was a man who wore a mask and exuded an air of laziness and whose temperament alone bore Marco's resemblance.

"We read the newspaper." Jozu said breathlessly, "Even with the mask on, you know you are the guy called Eneru, right?"

"I'm just leaning on Apophis-sama, how can people like you know the greatness of Apophis-sama!"

"Aren't you one of Shiki's men?" Marco asked with drooping eyes, "It's surprising that Apophis is comfortable letting you stay in this position."

"Even the enemy can be tolerated, is not this the royal aura?" Eneru said in a tone of admiration.

"Come with me, Apophis-sama has returned."

PS: How can I say, are still not in good shape (๑ŏ﹏ŏ๑). The first thing that I will do is get to sleep, but I will not delay this time; I will write it out before I go to bed; that is, the time is not sure, so let's sleep first.
