"Buruburu!"
Uchiha Tamahiko's Den Den Mushi, placed on a nearby chair, rang.
"Thud."
He placed the 500kg training weight on the ground, wiped the sweat from his body with a towel, then Uchiha Tamahiko walked over and answered the Den Den Mushi.
"This is Doflamingo."
"Let's discuss what you mentioned last time in detail."
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Doflamingo sat casually on the throne of Dressrosa, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and the Den Den Mushi mic in the other, talking to Uchiha Tamahiko.
Over the past month, he had investigated a large amount of data, and like the World Government, found no information about Uchiha.
At the same time, the New World had begun to descend into chaos. Other Four Emperors began to seize the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, and some newcomers also started to challenge for the position of Four Emperors, fighting intensely.
The Whitebeard Pirates were now being routed by the Marine, not daring to show their faces, only able to constantly flee.
This was almost the best scenario he had envisioned!
However, his own strength was insufficient, but he greatly desired the position of Four Emperors. He could only find Uchiha Tamahiko as a suitable partner.
"I want Dressrosa. Give it to me, and I can help you deal with any enemies stronger than you that you encounter on your path to becoming a Four Emperors, until you assume the position of Four Emperors."
Uchiha Tamahiko said in an unyielding tone.
Besides this, Doflamingo truly had no other value. As for treasures, Ryugu Castle had plenty.
As for weapons, the Germa Kingdom provided better ones.
"Are there no other conditions?"
Doflamingo was very displeased, but the position of Four Emperors was indeed tempting to him.
However, without overwhelming strength, it was impossible to hold this position firmly. He feared that if he couldn't sit steadily, he would be pushed down.
After all, he understood his own strength very well; he could become a regional overlord, but he was still far from being a Four Emperors.
Even if the other party helped him become a Four Emperors, it would be difficult to stay there. The endless stream of pirates challenging him would give him a headache.
With Dressrosa as a fallback, he didn't want to take such a big risk. If things went wrong, he might not only lose his territory but also his life.
"Or, how about I become a Four Emperors, and you work for me as my First Commander?"
Uchiha Tamahiko thought for a moment, then said.
Being a Four Emperors was mainly too troublesome, and he had no interest in managing those pirates. Managing the citizens of a kingdom would definitely be much simpler than managing pirates.
If Uchiha Tamahiko had come to this world alone, perhaps he would be more suited to be a Four Emperors, recruiting subordinates to work for him.
However, the combat power of the Uchiha Clan, after enhancement, could definitely rival a Four Emperors Pirate Crew, even reaching the level of the Rocks Pirates of the past.
If Doflamingo were to manage the pirates, it would be very suitable; his abilities were beyond doubt.
His ability to exploit workers was definitely among the top few in this world; the underground of Dressrosa was full of people working for free.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to be a Four Emperors?"
Doflamingo questioned.
"If no kingdom is given to me, I have no choice but to become a Four Emperors. And with you helping me do the work, I'll only be responsible for fighting, which is pretty much the same as what we discussed before, except the person who becomes a Four Emperors is me."
"In the future, when you become my First Commander, Dressrosa will still be my territory, won't it?"
Uchiha Tamahiko said very directly.
Doflamingo was stunned by these words.
After all this, it seemed he was always at a disadvantage!
"Being Kaido's dog has no future. If you want to regain the glory that once belonged to the Celestial Dragons, only I can help you."
"You either continue to be Kaido's dog and gain his support, or you trade Dressrosa with me. I'll help you become a Four Emperors and then step aside, or I'll be a Four Emperors and you'll be my First Commander, working for me."
"These are all the paths you can choose. I also have my own plans. Give me your answer now. If not, I'll start organizing my people to take over Whitebeard's territory."
Uchiha Tamahiko directly pinpointed Doflamingo's sore spot, clearly stating Doflamingo's situation to make him see reality.
There was only one chance to change his destiny, and that was to get on his ship.
Otherwise, he would wait to be defeated by Luffy, who wanted to become the Pirate King, and then be captured by the Marine.
"Who exactly are you, and why do you know so much?!"
Doflamingo's face changed drastically after hearing Uchiha Tamahiko's words on the other end.
Then, with a dark expression, he gripped the Den Den Mushi mic tightly and asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Your strength has reached its limit at this point."
"Either you stay in this position and wait for death, or you follow behind me and go to a more distant position."
Uchiha Tamahiko continued to PUA Doflamingo, striking at his confidence.
Doflamingo must have felt this over the years; otherwise, he wouldn't have sought an alliance with Kaido, acting as his dog and working for him.
Although they were called partners, Doflamingo was basically the one providing help, and in return, he only got some cold weapons forged in Wano Country, which was a wasted effort.
"What is your goal?"
"The Pirate King?"
Doflamingo calmed down.
His secrets were known, so be it; it didn't affect him too much. The current discussion was about the position of Four Emperors.
However, he felt a sense of dread towards this man, Uchiha Tamahiko. Such a person was too dangerous; he had no way to control him.
"What kind of king is the Pirate King?"
"I want to overturn this world!"
When recruiting people, Uchiha Tamahiko naturally wanted to make the goal as grand as possible.
Especially for someone like Doflamingo, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, without a sufficiently grand goal, he wouldn't be interested in listening further.
"Hahaha!"
"Interesting!"
"Well then, I, Doflamingo, will try to believe you this once. If you don't achieve my goals, I will betray you without hesitation."
Doflamingo laughed heartily on his end.
The Den Den Mushi in Uchiha Tamahiko's hand also mimicked the grotesque laughter.
Doflamingo was indeed tired of the current situation. Although he was already the king of the underground arms trade, what did that matter?
Money was just a number to him; he wanted to gain more power!
There was no path left with the World Government, so the only way was to become an Emperor of the Sea.
No matter how many weapons he sold, he was still just an arms dealer. He wanted to become someone who controlled power!
If he couldn't do it himself, then he would choose to follow a trustworthy strong person.
"You won't have that chance."
"You can set sail now and seize Whitebeard's territory. If you encounter someone you can't handle, contact me directly via Den Den Mushi, and I'll arrive within twelve hours."
"Once the territory is roughly large enough, then reveal your intention to contend for the position of Four Emperors to prevent the Marine from obstructing us in advance. Then, just wait for challengers to appear, defeat them one by one, and prove that we have the strength of a Four Emperors."
"Start acting, First Commander."
Uchiha Tamahiko began to make arrangements.
Anyway, with Fish-Man Island as a backup, and Doflamingo now working for him, by the time the territory was roughly established, if Doflamingo wanted to cause trouble, he would probably be back from Konoha by then, bringing all his people to directly take over the territory.
Although there was some deviation from the initial plan, starting with the Four Emperors, he was still completing the mission.
Moreover, Uchiha Tamahiko did not plan to rush this mission, so he was not anxious.
It was good to leave some time to improve his strength.
Furthermore, with absolute strength, he wasn't afraid of Doflamingo playing tricks. You got on my ship, and now you want to run?
"I understand."
Doflamingo listened to the hasty command and felt it was a bit too frivolous.
However, with Uchiha Tamahiko's support, he suddenly felt confident!
If the cooperation didn't work out, he could always betray him later. He felt he wouldn't lose out.
"Call a family meeting. All executives must attend. Contact those who are absent via Den Den Mushi."
Then Doflamingo also began to call people, preparing to take action.
