“Fuffuffuffu, these people are really daring. Trebol, how’s the situation outside?”
“It seems someone is inquiring about similar medicines at the pharmacy, and the price of Amber Lead has also started to rise, but the increase is slow.”
“They really acted fast; the price should rise a bit more, but it won’t return to its previous state. Get ready to contact the buyers.”
Even though the Beasts Fruits made a breakthrough in Amber Lead Syndrome, the fact that Amber Lead is poisonous cannot be changed. It is evident that the use of Amber Lead will inevitably decrease in the future, except in the military industry where it is still indispensable.
However, they, who bought Amber Lead at a low price, will still be able to make a profit.
“By the way, where is that kid?”
“You mean Law? He seems to be watching the live broadcast just now.”
“Call him over.”
Doflamingo was somewhat interested in this newcomer to his pirate crew because he saw something interesting in Law’s eyes – the eyes of someone who wants to destroy the world.
At this point, Law has already joined the Donquixote Pirates, but he hasn’t had a chance to talk to Rosinante, who is still perceived as mute by everyone.
Doflamingo regards Law as part of the new generation he is nurturing. Despite having only three years left to live, with a bit of luck, Law might survive, which is something Doflamingo had mentioned when he joined.
Few people know the truth about Amber Lead, but Doflamingo happens to be one of them. The Donquixote Pirates mainly engage in the black market trade, with the sale of Devil Fruits being one of their main business activities.
Although their business was currently limited to the North Blue, they have already begun expanding towards the Grand Line.
The grand promise Doflamingo made to Law when he joined was the possibility of finding a Devil Fruit that could cure him.
As the most experienced Devil Fruit seller on the seas, he knows which fruit could heal Law, and that fruit happens to be his target – the Op-Op Fruit, a miraculous fruit that can perform Immortality Operation on others.
“Doffy, Law is here.”
The bruised and battered Law was brought in. In this aspect, the Donquixote family and the Beasts Pirates share some similarities, both internally nurturing new generations.
Lao G teaches martial arts, Gladius teaches marksmanship and Diamante teaches swordsmanship; although the effectiveness is far less than Kaido’s training.
“Law, you’ve seen the news and the live broadcast, right?”
“I’ve seen it.”
“Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you because it cannot save you. The whole thing is probably fake.”
He believes it’s fake because he knows the inside story of Amber Lead Syndrome. He cannot say for sure it’s fake because he is not knowledgeable about medicines, but he found the method of earning money by Beasts Fruits odd.
If it was truly effective, they would have lowered the prices somewhat to enable those engaged in transporting Amber Lead to purchase the medicine together, and changed it into a long-term medication, which would have been the most profitable.
But they clearly seem to be looking to make a profit while also establishing some kind of reputation. This cannot serve as evidence for him, but he trusts his own intuition.
“How is that possible? Sister Misu clearly survived…”
“Oh? Is that nun really from Flevance?”
“Yes, she lived in Flevance. I saw her collapse in a pool of blood when we were escaping.”
At this point, Law suddenly stopped. He had briefly ignored it due to excitement, but the nun in the newspaper claimed not to be present in Flevance, yet he personally witnessed her get shot.
“Fuffuffuffu, Law, someone is lying. Your eyes deceived you, or perhaps, this is a deception itself. Do you know what kind of company Beasts Fruits is?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s a front for Beasts Pirates, an overt money-making tool. They are one of the three great pirate crews of the New World and are called Emperor of the Sea by the pirates. But you can’t just trust a pirate’s words easily.”
“However, I’m not sure about the authenticity of this matter. You can try this medicine, but I won’t foot the bill unless you can prove your worth exceeds sixty million Berries, the total cost of the treatment.”
Sixty million is not a small amount, and at this moment, Law cannot prove his worth. Nevertheless, Doflamingo regarded this as a test and handed Law an address.
“These people often use Amber Lead products and are likely to buy medicine. Whether or not you can persuade them to help you, you will have to depend on yourself.”
However, situations always change faster than planned. Just as he was contemplating how Luo would react, an alarm suddenly sounded from outside.
“Oh no, Doffy, the Marines have caught up again!”
“How did it happen so fast? Never mind, let’s retreat first!”
Due to constant interference from the Marines, he had sent his own undercover agents within the Marines some time ago. However, recently, the Marines always managed to find his whereabouts, which was becoming somewhat annoying for him.
At this moment, he hadn’t realized that his brother had become an undercover agent for the Marines, occasionally feeding them information.
Similarly in the North Blue, Dragon’s revolutionary cause has achieved great success. Due to the Flevance incident, the kings of two neighboring kingdoms had lost a considerable amount of support.
Under the lead of the powerful duo, Kuma and Dragon, the palace was quickly taken over, marking a certain degree of success in the revolution. Dragon also recruited many core members during this operation.
Beasts Fruits’ special medicines were selling well, and the new department began to flourish. Many people were attempting to decipher the composition of the medicine.
There is no patent protection law here, and with black markets everywhere, the Underworld doesn’t care about such things. They do whatever makes money.
However, one of the key ingredients was still elusive to them, and this ingredient is considered crucial for deciphering the medicine.
But not everyone was not able to decipher it. Caesar, in his pursuit of researching new weapons, has been working on deciphering it for some time. Being part of the World Government’s Science Unit, he naturally possesses the ability to do so.
He had also analyzed what it was, but that’s precisely what baffled him.
“Why are carbon elements arranged like this? Carbon elements when arranged like this can have this effect??? This is so damn unscientific!”
His worldview almost collapsed. Although the composition was very complex, the ingredients in it could be found in similar plants or herbs.
Except for this crystal; he simply couldn’t understand what he was looking at.
Not only him, but many researchers who have reached this stage were confused.
And this is what Queen, following Arceus’s request, guided Diancie to create. Carbon elements can be compressed into more than just diamonds. With Diancie’s abilities along with the unscientific powers of Pokémon, this mysterious crystal was born.
Queen swore that if anyone could decipher this thing, he would give up eating red bean soup with mochi for the rest of his life.
