Pirate: I only come here for three things!

Inside the Warspite in the morning before the melee begins at 8am

The climate in the New World was more extreme than elsewhere. The stars were still shining brightly at night. When Duanmu got up in the morning and went to the canteen to get a pancake, he saw heavy rain outside the boat window. The rain came suddenly without any warning.

"Someone invites you to come, Mr. Duanmu." A waiter came to Duanmu.

"Okay." Duanmu clapped his hand and wiped away the residue with his restaurant hand. "I just happened to have finished eating, please lead the way."

The waiter took Duanmu to the door of a luxurious cabin. This kind of cabin can only be enjoyed by a handful of people on the entire ship.

After the announcement was completed, the waiter stood guard at the door and said to Duanmu: "You can go in, the master inside is waiting for you."

In the luxurious cabin, two people were enjoying breakfast. At the same time, the trophies from yesterday's Duanmu auction were placed on their dining table.

Burn the fruit.

"Duanmu, have you eaten? Do you want to eat some from my place?"

Duanmu looked at what they were eating and felt that it was not to their taste. Coupled with the cold look in the other person's eyes, he declined politely: "No, you definitely didn't ask me to come here to eat, right?"

"Relax, since you helped me at the auction yesterday, you are one of my own. Leah, don't stare at him. After all, I didn't say I needed your help yesterday, right?"

"Are you saying I helped the wrong person?"

"No matter what, my daughter, you are right in everything you do." Kennedy's eyes were full of doting.

In this room, having dinner with Kennedy was the Celestial Dragon from yesterday's auction, Shia Allie Saint.

"Duanmu, did you know before this that the person bidding against you was my daughter?"

"I remember every Tianlong in the Holy Land, their names, and some basic information about them. And coincidentally, I remember some relevant information about Saint Shia Allie, such as you being her father." Duanmu responded.

"That is to say, you continued to bid with her even after knowing that she was my daughter, and even got a terrifying price of 40 billion?" He did not choose to ask Duanmu what happened to the 40 billion Baileys. Come because this matter is not important to him.

"Yes."

After hearing what her father said, Shia Alisheng also snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"How do I know that father, you have found someone to act as a trustee behind your back to buy that Shao Shao fruit?"

"Didn't I say it? I can't buy this fruit directly. Because the one who chose to sell this fruit at the auction house was Sir Arnold, and behind him were those kings. If I said it clearly, even this devil fruit, Can’t walk to the auction house.”

"Obviously he didn't make any request." Leah was still a little unconvinced.

"This is the most expensive, my daughter, free is often the most expensive."

Duanmu watched the conversation between father and daughter silently.

"Duanmu."

"What's the matter, Mr. Kennedy?" Duanmu asked, stroking his chest and lowering his head.

"When you go back, do you want any position within the world government? For example, the party whip of my current party?"

"I don't think I can take on this important responsibility yet."

Leah raised her high neck.

"You still have some self-knowledge."

"Leah!"

She turned her head away and pouted.

"Xia Alisheng is right. I only played a small role in this. You insist on taking all the credit for this, and even granting me a high position. It is well deserved for me."

"Don't worry, I will let you get more credit in Wano Country."

dong dong...

There was a knock at the door.

"Ah, I'm sorry, an important guest I invited has arrived. Remember to attend the following meeting later, which will help you show your face." He handed the Shaoshuo fruit to Duanmu.

"This thing, according to the prior agreement, belongs to you, you can do whatever you want with it."

Duanmu took the fruit.

"Oh, are you scolding your juniors?"

An old man walked in.

Of course Duanmu knew who he was.

Sir Arnold, a legend. Now on this warship, the will of the kings is represented.

"Ah, I didn't expect that you are still the young man I have an impression of. Let me think about it, you should be a boy from the Cyborg family, right? What, is it the Shao Shao Fruit you bought?"

His eyes looked at Duanmu, from top to bottom, from inside to outside. As if to see through Duanmu.

"What a terrifying young man. When I was your age, I couldn't be as heroic as you are in throwing away 40 billion casually. What a terrifying young man. In time, you may be able to get a place at the top of the world government."

At this time, Kennedy interrupted. Unlike when he was talking to Duanmu, Kennedy had been sitting and eating breakfast. When he saw the old man walking in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a bright smile.

"You are so discerning. Duanmu is my chosen political successor. Sooner or later, I will give him everything I can give him. It's not maybe, it's definitely. He will definitely become the leader of the world government. The pillar of the next generation, right Duanmu?"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kennedy." Duanmu was speechless. He had to raise his hand secretly when he spoke.

He is the pillar of the next generation of world government, so when he says that he is to take over, doesn't it mean that he himself is the anchor of the current world government?

"Then I am really at a loss, little brother Duanmu. If you had told me earlier, I would have just given you the Devil Fruit. This fruit was given to me by a kingdom in the East China Sea, and such a good thing, at this age, I Wouldn’t it be a waste for an old man over 60 to eat it, so I just put it up for auction.”

"I didn't expect that the seller was you. Thank you very much for the generous gift you prepared to give me. Then I will treat this fruit as a gift from you?"

"After all, Duanmu is Mr. Kennedy's successor, so why not send it off to you." He said simply. "I will send someone to deliver the four billion to you later. Mr. Kennedy, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"It's really safe. In this way, all aspects have been taken into consideration. It's really high. I'm ashamed of myself."

Duanmu looked at the two of them and cursed the two old foxes in his heart.

Kennedy has been reluctant to accept this fruit because he is afraid that after accepting it, the kings behind Arnold will make some too arbitrary demands on him. And if you don't accept this fruit, it means that Kennedy doesn't need the power of kings to take office, which is absolutely impossible. So he chose to let Duanmu accept it, which meant that he accepted the kings' affection, but it was not so direct.

Arnold on the other side is also a human spirit, tying up the identity of the successor between Duanmu and Kennedy. Then he turned a normal auction into a gift to Duanmu. And does Kennedy recognize this sentiment?

At this point, both parties are happy.

"Then Duanmu, please go first. Remember to attend the meeting on the ship later. After that, it's time for you to step onto the stage and flourish in the officialdom."

Duanmu lowered his head.

"Yes, Mr. Kennedy."
