Bang!
The red gelatinous object exploded and turned into purple poisonous gas, filling the entire room.
Under the watchful eyes of Abel and others, these escaped prisoners were quickly petrified and turned into statues the moment they were enveloped in the purple poisonous gas.
Seeing this, Caesar Courant couldn't help but dance excitedly and said loudly: "These colloidal substances are actually formed by compressing h2s poison gas, so when it explodes, the poison gas will spread at an unimaginable speed. And these poison gases will It entangles the person who comes into contact, invades the body through the skin, and makes the person paralyzed, unconscious, and petrified!"
"Of course, this weapon of mass destruction still has some flaws that need to be resolved. When I perfect it, it will be a nightmare for everyone on the battlefield! But the premise is that I have enough funds to complete it. That’s one of the reasons I need collaborators.”
The cunning thing about Caesar Courant lies in the mixture of truth and falsehood in his words.
Of course he could sell the slime at a good price without telling him about its flaws.
But it is equivalent to a one-time deal, and it can be used to deceive those who do not know the goods.
It’s just that now he needs a long-term financial backer, and one with strength and background.
Among the candidates he investigated, Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo was considered to be the top three choice in his mind that met the conditions.
This was also the reason why he was a little angry when he didn't see Doflamingo in person at the beginning.
He thought it was a lack of attention to him.
But for the sake of money, he was prepared to forgive the other party first, and then make a serious payment.
"What do you think when you see my masterpiece?"
Facing Caesar Coulant's confident inquiry, Abel also nodded slightly, "It's very good. I believe Captain Dover will also like this thing. But in fact, we are here this time for another technology in your hands. I want to There needs to be cooperation.”
"Artificial Devil Fruit!"
Caesar Courant didn’t seem surprised by this. Although he only revealed a little bit about this, it is obvious that there is no shortage of smart people in the world.
"First of all, I must state that there is a risk of failure of artificial Devil Fruits, and it is not ruled out that there will be serious side effects. At present, only animal-type Devil Fruits can be produced."
Caesar Courant first exposed his shortcomings, and then suddenly changed the subject.
Chapter 582 Artificial Devil Fruit
"Although this technology is not mature yet, you are standing in front of the world's greatest scientists, so as long as you have enough time and research funds, this is not a problem."
Caesar Courant knows very well that ‘sincerity’ is a sure-fire move, while deception and pie-in-the-sky are the finishing moves!
What’s the difference between a scientific researcher who doesn’t know how to deceive investors and who doesn’t know how to make big pie, and a salted fish?
As for the self-explosion of product defects before, it was nothing more than a means to win people's trust.
When it comes to serving dishes to people, he is self-taught and extremely proficient.
Even Monet and his girls were deceived by him.
Of course, this is because Abel didn't let Violet 'see through' the other party, there was no need.
It is enough for Abel to know who this guy is.
"As for funds, you don't need to doubt the strength of our Don Quixote family at all."
"But we need a certain amount of time to verify this, um, great scientific research result."
Abel made a promise for Doflamingo.
Caesar Courant was very satisfied with Abel's choice of words, and he also needed time to select collaborators.
There was more than just one big fish in his 'fish pond': Donquixote Doflamingo.
Some are even more heavyweight!
But at the same time, Caesar Courant is also worried about a problem, that is, if the collaborator is too strong, he will become the other party's 'subordinate', and he does not want to be anyone's worker.
So what he really needs is to have enough funds for him to squander, enough strength and status to protect him, and not be so strong that he becomes an ideal scapegoat!
Obviously, such a victim is not easy to find.
"No problem, I just have to meet some people next to discuss cooperation matters."
Caesar Courant said casually.
Everyone knows what this sentence means.
After the visit, Abel kept all the money he brought, and then exchanged it for an artificial Devil Fruit from Caesar Courant.
"Monet, you and Violet take this artificial Devil Fruit and rush back as quickly as possible and hand it over to Captain Dover."
"Baby-5 and I will stay temporarily to see what competitors there are."
"If you need anything, please call me anytime."
"Yes, Lord Abel."
Monet glanced at the little Lolita who stayed next to Abel with some envy. Apparently she also felt it. Although she and Violet belonged to each other's Red Heart Army, it did not mean that they would be trusted.
This obviously takes a long time.
After the two women left, Abel explained the situation to Caesar Courant, and then simply stayed here.
And Caesar Courant is naturally happy to have a 'guest' here who can help raise the price.
In the next few days, many powerful people indeed came.
Although Caesar Courant received them all, their attitudes were different and the prices they offered were also different.
The only thing that is the same is that the conditions for cooperation are very harsh, which many people cannot accept.
Some even felt they were insulted and simply took action.
As a result, Caesar Courant used more prisoners for experiments.
Of course, Abel also contributed a lot.
What surprised Abel was that until Doflamingo arrived, neither Big Mom nor Kaido's people as he expected showed up.
Have you already hooked up in advance, or are you still not taken seriously at this time?
Abel thought about it and felt it should be the latter.
He is simply a liar trying to steal money!
I guess once the news got out, it was also treated as a joke.
In this way, Doflamingo is the only one among the competitors.
After all, Doflamingo's advantages are so obvious that not everyone can defeat him.
. . . . . .
"Abel, you did a good job."
After Doflamingo brought the people over, he first 'complied' Abel.
Because he heard that many people came and never left here again. Caesar Courant alone would definitely not dare to offend so many forces.
Obviously this guy did a good job to eliminate his competitors.
"Fortunately, everything was as expected by the captain."
Abel flattered him, but actually threw the pot away.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, without Doflamingo's instructions, how dare a mere cadre do this?
Doflamingo was speechless.
But after experimenting with the artificial devil fruit that Monet brought back, he was already determined to get this thing.
Since you are going to be offended no matter what, it doesn't matter sooner or later.
The top priority is to finalize the cooperation with Caesar Courant first and prevent others from getting involved.
No matter what kind of business, only a monopoly is the most profitable.
Doflamingo plans to make artificial devil fruits a flagship project of his family and vigorously develop them.
Then use the family's channels to sell it in the underground black market.
Even the cheapest Devil Fruit is worth 100 million, so selling an artificial Devil Fruit for 80 million berries is not too much, right?
How much does it cost?
It will kill millions of beli.
He believes that at this price, many people will be interested.
Although the quality is not good and there are side effects, as long as the quantity is high, it is still very tempting.
A team composed entirely of animal devil fruit ability users!
Let me ask, who doesn’t fantasize after hearing this!
And now we can only produce animal-type Devil Fruits. Who can guarantee that we won’t be able to develop superhuman-type or even natural-type devil fruits in the future? !
If it really comes to pass, then the entire world will be changed by him!
It was precisely because he saw the huge potential and prospects of this technology that Doflamingo rushed over immediately.
Fortunately, he sent Abel in advance and was not worried that someone would pick the peaches first.
After explaining the current specific situation, Doflamingo probably felt confident.
Then came the negotiations with Caesar Courant.
Caesar Cullen is very greedy, but Doflamingo is very generous, or in other words, he has a long-term view and does not care about the immediate interests at all.
So the negotiation went very smoothly at the beginning.
Caesar Cullen felt that Doflamingo, who had money, power, status and channels, was a good collaborator. The most important thing was that he felt that it was impossible for a mere Shichibukai to control him.
To be on the safe side, he also wanted to bring in another collaborator as a constraint.
As long as he wants, he can terminate the cooperation at any time and break up.
But when Caesar Coulan said that he wanted to find other collaborators, Doflamingo became completely unhappy.
It’s okay to ask for money, and we can discuss everything else.
But you want one maid to serve two husbands?
Dreaming!
What did he take Doflamingo for?
His bottom line is exclusive cooperation and complete monopoly of the market, so this alone is absolutely unacceptable.
Chapter 583 ‘The King of Evil’ Avaro Pizarro
When Doflamingo was discussing cooperation with Caesar Coulan, people from other forces were not idle either.
After all, to be honest, many of Caesar Courant’s weapons of mass destruction are practical and vicious!
As long as the price of a weapon like this is moderate, there is actually no shortage of buyers.
But at this time, Caesar Courant's greedy side emerged.
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. All of his weapons are unique, so the price is naturally determined by him.
In addition, he values more financial assistance from long-term investors, so he is not interested in these buyers.
This caused many people who wanted to buy those weapons to be a little annoyed by Caesar Courant's attitude.
If these forces, large and small, can survive in the new world, they naturally have their own two brushes.
It seemed unwise for Caesar Courant to offend them, but this guy did just that.
So much so that many people were ready to teach him a lesson.
Currently, Doflamingo is discussing cooperation with Caesar Coulan. According to Doflamingo's idea, he should take this opportunity to negotiate terms.
But he didn’t expect that the other party would find him first.
"It's OK if you want the exclusive right to cooperate, but I need to see if the strength of your Don Quixote family can protect me."
"If I can't protect even one scientific researcher, then I'm asking for trouble by cooperating with you. Sooner or later something will happen."
Caesar Coulan directly and openly found Doflamingo and asked him to stand up for him.
