One Piece Tulip Family

"It seems that you don't welcome me to join!"

Bondi Waldo grinned, and sat down on the only remaining seat at the round table.

No one paid attention to Waldo's speech, and everyone's eyes were on Satan. Crocodile and Doflamingo only raised their own concerns, but they also trusted Satan. They believed that since Satan chose to introduce Bondi Waldo into their alliance, there must be a way to relieve everyone's concerns.

As the speaker of the Shichibukai Alliance, Satan holds the highest right to speak in the organization, but at the same time he also has to bear the corresponding responsibilities and risks brought about by recruiting a new member.

With a sassy smile, Satan leaned back on the chair and glanced at everyone with a relaxed expression. "I understand your concerns, but please rest assured that Waldo is an absolutely reliable candidate. I guarantee that he will obey my orders. Don't worry that he will bring uncontrollable danger to the organization. As for the reason! He will tell you himself."

Satan's words were somewhat inscrutable, but out of trust, the others didn't say anything more. They just turned their eyes to Waldo again, wanting to know why this dangerous person recognized by the sea obeyed Satan's orders.

At the same time, being stared at by seven or eight strong men of Qiwuhai level, even a strong man like Waldo felt a lot of pressure, and his expression was a little uncomfortable. He twisted his body in embarrassment, and cast a glance at Satan, who looked like a god. You and I have no choice."

After listening to Waldo's words, several members of the Shichibukai Alliance looked at Satan in surprise. Apart from shock, there was a little admiration in their eyes. You must know that Waldo is not a small character. He is a strong man who has escaped the pursuit of the admiral several times.

"Waldo, you were captured by Master Satan? This is too shocking."

"I know that Master Satan's strength is unfathomable, but I didn't expect to be so strong!"

"Since Waldo's reliability can be guaranteed, I have no problem with him joining the alliance."

"agree!"

"I have no opinion either!"

……

Under the shocked and admiring gazes of all the members, Valdo successfully became the tenth official member of the Shichibukai Alliance, while Satan was always smiling, obviously not interested in discussing his capture of Valdo in detail. Although they are allies, it is also necessary to maintain a certain sense of mystery and cards. After all, there is no simple character who can sit here.

In fact, the process was not complicated at all. Satan did defeat Waldo and all his cadres by himself. Otherwise, it would not be possible to convince Waldo, who has a bad personality. It is not that Waldo's strength is weak, but that just a month ago, Satan understood the true meaning of the tree of life, and his strength has greatly improved again, and the tree of life in his body is about to fully mature.

After the shock of the members faded slightly, Satan sat up straight and announced with a serious expression: "Since we have no objections to the two new members, our meeting today will officially begin. Let's talk about it below. Have you encountered any obstacles in your respective development? If you have any troubles that cannot be resolved, just bring them up."

Satan's words are routine. Except for emergency meetings, the members of the Shichibukai Alliance usually meet once a quarter. In addition to exchanging important information and intelligence, the most important purpose is to coordinate the resources in each other's hands to solve the difficulties and troubles encountered by individual members.

Satan looked at Estes, and Estes shook his head, saying that the Kingdom of Babylon was developing smoothly, everything was on the right track, and there was no major trouble. Next, Crocodile, Jinbe, Tamamomae, Hawkeye, Tezolo and others all said that their forces were going well, and there was no trouble that needed everyone to work together to solve. Only when Satan's eyes fell on Doflamingo, Doflamingo looked a little hesitant, as if he had something to say and hesitated.

"Having trouble, Dover?"

Satan knows Doflamingo's character well. This guy is cruel, arrogant, and has a bad personality, but at the same time he is also extremely arrogant. If he hadn't really encountered big trouble, he wouldn't have that tangled expression.

"Yeah, not only is there trouble, but it's an out-and-out trouble."

Doflamingo put down his upturned legs, and his expression became solemn. "You all know that at the meeting a year ago, I proposed a plan to study artificial devil fruits. Afterwards, I secretly built a scientific research base. I also found the world's top scientist Caesar Courant, and received financial support from Tezoro."

"We know this. Of course, when you proposed it, everyone thought it was a good idea. If the artificial devil fruit is successfully developed, our power will increase exponentially, which is good for everyone. What's the problem now? Is the research direction wrong?"

Satan nodded slightly. When Doflamingo first proposed the plan to develop artificial devil fruits, he got everyone's support. Everyone paid more attention to this plan. Therefore, when Doflamingo mentioned it again, the expressions of other people also became serious.

"No, the experiment was very successful. Although only animal-based artificial devil fruits have been conquered so far, it has been initially successful."

"That's a good thing!"

"It's a good thing, but our research results are being targeted by Kaido, the Four Emperors."

Doflamingo smiled wryly, and said heartbroken: "Just three days ago, Kaido of Beasts approached me personally. He asked me to provide him with 500 artificial animal-based devil fruits every year, otherwise he would kill me. However, with our current technology, even if we cultivate them with all our strength, we can only grow up to 100 artificial animal-based devil fruits every year, and the quality cannot be fully guaranteed. Most importantly, that bastard Kaido is not prepared to pay at all."

"Are you doing it?" Crocodile asked curiously.

"Yeah, let's do it. I failed miserably without any accident. That guy is a monster. I have almost no power to fight back in front of him. If he didn't want to get the animal-type devil fruit through me, I'm afraid I would have died!"

Doflamingo was dejected, his expression was pained and helpless, and there was even a faint hint of fear. Thinking about it, it would never be a good feeling for anyone who had worked so hard to successfully develop the results to be snatched away by others, not to mention that Doflamingo was brutally tortured by Kaido.
