Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 172: The Aura of a King! (Second Update Requested)

The commotion settled down just like that.

Gilgamesh received the news the next day but didn't say much. He simply called Doflamingo and Katakuri.

"You didn't escape yesterday?" Gilgamesh looked at Katakuri with great interest.

"I couldn't escape," Katakuri said in a deep voice. "With you here, we had no chance of escaping."

He was straightforward and didn't bother with any flattery or false words about being charmed by Gilgamesh.

The meaning behind his words was clear - with someone of your level suppressing us, we had no chance of escaping!

"Interesting," Gilgamesh squinted his eyes and looked at Doflamingo beside him. "Looks like he's more interesting than you, Doflamingo."

"Yes, indeed," Doflamingo secretly wiped the sweat off his palm, but he showed no signs of unease and smiled. "With a man like him joining us, our king's great ambition is within reach!"

"Is that so?" Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and continued to look at Katakuri. "What do you want? Since you're an interesting servant, I can show some mercy."

Katakuri didn't refuse and directly said, "Can you please remove the handcuffs from my siblings? They're not used to wearing them."

Although not everyone in the Charlotte family received Charlotte Linlin's favor, even Pudding, who was not favored, had never experienced being bound by handcuffs.

After all, they were the children of the Four Emperors. How many people would treat them like this?

Even though most of them had strong wills, there were still many who couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, I permit it," Gilgamesh nodded. "You may leave and tell the people who are guarding them."

Katakuri nodded and left without saying much.

Just as he was about to leave the door, he paused and said, "The person who opened the door for me seemed to be from the World Government."

After saying that, he didn't care anymore and left directly.

Only Gilgamesh and the nervous Doflamingo were left.

Gilgamesh stared at Doflamingo with a profound gaze, bringing a great weight with it.

Doflamingo swallowed his saliva. He knew that his actions were not secretive at all, and his sealing actions were too decisive, making it inevitable for someone to notice something.

But he had no other choice!

At that time, if he didn't seal it, should he wait until the Cipher Pol reveals everything before sealing it?

"If he confronts me about it, I'll fight him!" Doflamingo encouraged himself in his heart, his hands and feet stiff. "No matter what, my life isn't so easily taken!"

However, although his inner thoughts were strong, he didn't think he had any chance of winning.

Doflamingo was very self-aware. He knew the huge gap between himself and the Four Emperors.

And in front of Gilgamesh, who possessed power surpassing the Four Emperors, he had no qualifications to cause any trouble.

Silence, a silent silence.

Just as Doflamingo was about to lose control and consider whether to make a move in advance, he suddenly heard Gilgamesh speak.

"What about the artificial Devil Fruits?"

Doflamingo felt a sense of amnesty and quickly said, "No problem. Guy has already arrived at Dressrosa, and our research institute has been completed. We can start working within seven days at the latest!"

"And have you retrieved my Devil Fruit from the black market?" Gilgamesh calmly asked.

"Yes!" Doflamingo gritted his teeth. "When you return to Dressrosa, I guarantee that you will see at least five Devil Fruits!"

"Too few, at least ten," Gilgamesh calmly said.

Doflamingo clenched his teeth and nodded. "Alright, I understand."

Gilgamesh nodded slightly, and the heavy atmosphere eased.

Doflamingo let out a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter was considered over.

However, he did not see the dangerous look in Gilgamesh's eyes.

"It's a pity that the Distinguished Heavenly Gods are in cooldown..." Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Doflamingo.

He wasn't a fool, he could easily guess what role Doflamingo played in that prison break.

But he knew that he still needed Doflamingo now!

When it came to acquiring Devil Fruits from the black market, no one was better than Doflamingo!

"The cooldown period for the Distinguished Heavenly Gods is still two months. Let's make you happy for two months!" Zhao Xu squinted his eyes, his gaze dangerously intense.

After Doflamingo let out a sigh of relief, he hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, although my actions were questionable, the BIGMOM Pirates are indeed very dangerous... ...please give me flowers..."

"Aren't you worried that Charlotte Linlin will wake up and use the massive manpower of the BIGMOM Pirates to take over?"

Although he had just committed a crime and his subsequent words were problematic, what he said was true.

The mid to low-level combat power of the BIGMOM Pirates surpassed the team formed by Gilgamesh, and even the high-level combat power was not inferior.

It could be said that if we don't consider Gilgamesh's own strength, even if Charlotte Linlin surrenders, two-thirds of Gilgamesh's power comes from the other side.

This is a very dangerous proportion!

In Zhao Xu's previous life, it would have been enough for the other party to take over the "company"!

However, Gilgamesh frowned and said coldly, "Don't you believe in my personal charm?"

.......0...

"As a subject, it is only natural to be loyal to my lord."

"So what if it's Charlotte Linlin? Just a mere miscellaneous repairman, how can she compare to me?"

Doflamingo was dumbfounded and opened his mouth.

Honestly, he also admitted Gilgamesh's personal charm.

But can it be the same in this case?

How could the team of the Four Emperors be so easily won over?

Those are the subordinates of the Four Emperors!

Personal charm is not the same as the aura of a king. How could a simple call make people completely submit?

Just then, someone suddenly reported, "Report to my lord, Shichibukai Crocodile is here!"

"Crocodile?" Doflamingo couldn't help but be stunned. "What is he here for?"

"He should be here to show his loyalty to my lord." Gilgamesh calmly spoke, "As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it's a bit disappointing that he only comes to see me now... ...he's a bit unqualified!"

"Let him in!"

Doflamingo's mouth twitched. If it weren't for a bit of reason left in his head, he really wanted to question Gilgamesh directly.

Who gave you the confidence to think that Crocodile came to submit to you?

He is, after all, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you think he's like me, submitting to you for various reasons?!

Three minutes later...

Doflamingo stared blankly at Crocodile bowing to Gilgamesh, his face expressionless.

"Could it be that there really is such a king-like aura of personal charm?"

...The end.
