Chapter 1404: Davy Back Fight!
Ibara. Of course, he wouldn't share it with the Empire and the Imperial Fist Temple.
He had long decided to stay in this world, becoming a free and unfettered adventurer and duelist.
After all, the Empire and the Imperial Fist Temple could no longer give him anything.
Right.
There was also what he promised Mez.
In his opinion, Minato Namikaze was just a ninja from the Shinobi Sect in the Ninja World; killing him was no big deal.
Next, just like before, Doflamingo handed the purple box to Ibara.
Then, he hung two gold medals from the Adventurer's Guild and the Multiverse Duel Arena on him.
Finally, he personally draped the crimson Top 100 Coat over him.
He could see greed and ambition in Ibara's eyes, understanding that this was a guy with a wicked disposition.
But Doflamingo didn't care at all. What a joke! When it came to evil, he was the superior!
Next to step onto the stage was 'Silver Fox' Foxy.
"'Silver Fox' Foxy, speak your wish~"
Doflamingo looked down at the 'shorty' who was only 1.8 meters tall before him and said.
He felt that having people speak their wishes was truly a very pleasant thing right now.
It was just a pity that the current World Government couldn't fulfill all wishes yet.
However, when Foxy let out a laugh, Doflamingo's expression froze.
"Fufufufu~, Fufufufu~, it's finally my turn!"
Foxy didn't notice Doflamingo's expression, still immersed in delight and excitement.
Doflamingo was speechless. This guy's way of laughing was actually quite similar to his own...
"My wish is, please have the Adventurer's Guild establish the 'Davy Back Fight' as one of the officially recognized rules!"
Foxy spread his arms wide, excitedly shouting at Doflamingo.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue fell into dead silence.
Including Doflamingo, Shanks, Vergo, and others.
The hundreds of thousands of audience members present, as well as the World Audience in front of the screen, were all stunned.
The Davy Back Fight is a dark game popular among pirates.
Pirates compete with each other to get the best crewmates from others, which is the so-called "Crew Scramble Battle".
The match is decided in three rounds, and the loser must swear allegiance to the legendary Ruler of the Ocean, 'Davy Jones', serving the victor for life.
If they don't have a desired crewmate, they can also take the 'Pirate Flag', which is considered the life of the ship.
It is a cruel match that involves gambling 'comrades' and 'dignity'.
And it also has three rules.
One, what is lost in a 'Davy Back Fight' must be won back through a 'Davy Back Fight'.
Two, the loser's crewmate chosen by the victor must immediately swear allegiance to the opposing captain.
Three, the flag taken from the loser shall never be flown again.
And in this world, the origin of this game is Hachinosu.
Which was the headquarters of the Rocks Pirates back then!
But now Foxy wants the Adventurer's Guild to recognize its legitimacy?
"Foxy, adventurers are not pirates," Doflamingo said coldly.
"Esteemed President, I'm referring to a slightly adjusted 'Davy Back Fight'!"
Foxy quickly offered an explanation: "Doesn't our Adventurer's Guild currently allow adventure groups to be formed by three or more adventurers?"
"Then there are regimental commanders and group members. My hope is to use the 'Davy Back Fight' to have the opposing group members join one's own adventure group."
"If the other party refuses, the Adventurer's Guild should penalize them for violating the rules, such as canceling their adventurer qualification!"
Foxy's words left everyone with complicated moods and strange expressions.
It could be done like this?
Shouldn't inviting others to join a team be about appealing to their feelings and reasoning with them? Why resort to forcing them based on the outcome of a match?
Many people felt an aversion to this, thinking it would surely be rejected!
However, they didn't understand Doflamingo well enough.
"Fufufufu~~"
Doflamingo let out a laugh, making Shanks on the rostrum inwardly think things were not good.
This President had developed an interest!
As expected.
"That sounds very interesting. I can agree, but two rules must be added."
"Please say them," Foxy immediately felt surprised and delighted.
"First, it must be with the full agreement of both parties, and they must register in advance at a nearby Adventurer's Association Headquarters or Branch. Everyone must undergo a mental consciousness check."
Doflamingo's brain spun rapidly. Although the matter was sudden, he still thought of two key points.
Shanks relaxed after hearing this, while also admiring the President's wisdom.
This single rule was enough to prevent a large number of victims of 'forced games'.
"Second, the content of the game will be decided by the nearby Adventurer's Association Headquarters or Branch, and they will have supervision rights and refereeing authority. Only then can violators be penalized."
After speaking, Doflamingo added:
"Oh, and the initiating party must pay a fee to the Adventurer's Guild, because we need to train referees, build venues and facilities, treat the injured, and re-register data for adventurers who have changed after the match."
Now it was Foxy's turn to be dumbfounded. After he reacted, his face was full of admiration.
"You... You truly are... a peerless genius! President, uwuwuwuwu----"
In his view, Doflamingo was helping him perfect the rules and laying the foundation for it to become hugely popular among adventurers.
After all, only with more people participating could he have fun playing!
Doflamingo watched the tearful Foxy speechlessly.
He inwardly thought, how could this guy look so stupid? What a waste of a good Devil Fruit.
However, since the wish had been fulfilled, Doflamingo had someone bring over the World Bank Card, Star Gate Pass, and Top 100 Plaque.
And he also hung two gold badges on him, finally draping the crimson Top 100 Coat over him.
Watching Foxy's back as he cried and walked off the stage, Doflamingo inexplicably sighed in relief.
He's finally gone...
Next was Lelei, who ranked fifth. Her wish was naturally the resurrection of her teacher, Sage Cato, who was killed by the current 'Lightning Minister' Ay.
This allowed the entire audience and the populace from all walks of life to witness the process of a deceased person's resurrection once again.
Similarly, a white light pillar descended, and from it appeared a short old man with pale hair and beard.
The meeting between master and disciple was naturally exceptionally moving.
However, the two also knew they couldn't affect the ceremony, so they said a few words and quickly left using magic.
This left many audience members feeling regretful. They still wanted to know more about the situation in the Underworld from Cato's mouth.
Yajime Hime, who ranked fourth, stepped onto the stage.
To be honest, she didn't have much of a wish.
Her parents had died in the war against the Empire long before she had any memory, so she truly didn't have much feeling for them.
If her grandfather died, she would make a wish for his resurrection.
As for taking revenge for her parents, that would be taking revenge against Esdeath, who was an Imperial Navy Admiral at the time.
Make a wish for the World Government to destroy Esdeath, who is already a Heavenly Empress?
Yajime Hime wasn't that stupid yet.
Moreover, she was now Mihawk's disciple and was very satisfied with her life at Master Yudao's place.
So, facing Doflamingo's words, 'Speak your wish'.
After a brief thought, Yajime Hime said something surprising.
"I hope to force Grandfather, Yejian Tsukahara of Master Yudao's place, to recover his youth!"
As soon as these words came out, Mihawk, Gion, and Yejian Tsukahara inside Master Yudao's place were all stunned.
Force?
Yejian Tsukahara immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This foolish girl, if this old man wants to become young, I can just exchange for a 'Zero Demon Elf Serum'. Do I still need you to make a wish? What a waste of resources!"
Gion said helplessly, "But you're unwilling, insisting on dying of old age. That's why she's anxious, right?"
"This old man doesn't think longevity is a good thing. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are what make a human, and it conforms to the way of nature," Yejian Tsukahara sighed faintly.
Gion said, "But to Yajime Hime, you are the only family member in this world!"
"So this old man wants to hold on until she gets married and has a caring person to accompany her before leaving this world," Yejian Tsukahara's mood was heavy.
"But what she wants is to be with you forever!"
