Chapter 273 Dov Minglang's Choice
the other side.
Island living room.
Be it Dov Minglang and his subordinates, or CP0 and others, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads at this moment.
Everyone sat stiffly on the sofa, watching the figure slowly walking out of the shadows.
Nagato stared at everyone's expressions coldly.
"I'm sure you know why I'm here! Slaving is a serious crime in the Empire. Are you going to come with me on your own, or are you prepared to resist forcefully?"
Dov Minglang's face stiffened slightly. He did not expect the Empire to act so quickly.
As soon as he received the intelligence, the Empire's special services found his location.
This all-pervasive detection capability only made him feel frightened.
"Can I explain? Those slaves are not from the empire. They are transported from all over the world."
Nagato was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry, our secret service is only responsible for arresting people, not listening to your explanation! You should explain these words to the people in the Imperial Law Department."
Dov Minglang's face turned a little ugly.
"I don't want to go against the Empire!" As a former Celestial Dragon, he knew some of the secrets of the Holy Land. He also knew clearly what the World Government's trump card was.
Because of this, he understood how terrifying the current empire was. Others only knew that the empire was domineering and powerful, but he was different. He understood that the current empire was the builder of the next order.
Didn’t you see that the Five Elders immediately gave up on him when they heard the voice? This kind of thing has never happened in the past.
Referring to the previous practices of the World Government, if he offends a more powerful empire now, his situation will be even worse than when he was in the World Government.
Because when he was in the World Government, at least he still had the identity of a Celestial Dragon. Even if he was a Celestial Dragon who was deprived of his identity, he was still a Celestial Dragon in essence!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was in a difficult situation.
The CP0 members sitting opposite him also understood what they were facing.
If the man in front of them were to attack them, the master behind them would abandon them immediately.
Just as Nagato was about to take action, Dov Minglang, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead, was thinking quickly about how to escape.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Please wait a moment!"
Nagato's raised hand suddenly paused.
"Say!"
"Sir! I am willing to bring the entire Don Quixote to join the empire. Please give me a chance!"
At this moment, Dov Minglang had completely lost his former arrogance and only looked humble.
As a celestial dragon who was deprived of his identity, he knew when to bow his head and when to be arrogant ever since he entered the underground world.
Nagato fell into deep thought and remained silent for a moment.
"The Empire will not allow a drug dealer or slave trafficker or force to join the Empire!"
"I'm willing to give up all these businesses for a chance to join the Empire!"
Dov Minglang's face was as sincere as it could be at this moment.
Nagato slowly lowered his raised hand, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Dov Minglang answered affirmatively. He was not an underground emperor who knew nothing.
If there was a chance to join the current empire, it would definitely be a more promising thing than returning to his current declining family. He was willing to give up everything for such an opportunity.
Nagato's eyes fluctuated slightly. A person who can bend and stretch himself will be a prominent figure no matter which world he is in.
The Empire does not mind that the world has a dark side, because there is no world with only light. Where there is light, there is darkness, but the darkness must be controlled by the Empire.
“I have seen your sincerity. You are different from your kind. According to the intelligence given to our secret service by the Empire, you have also experienced great ups and downs.
You should be able to understand the pain of this world. Your Don Quixote family has developed very rapidly in the underground world, and it is indeed of some benefit to the empire."
"The Empire recently wants to advance into the second half of the Grand Line. Your entire Don Quixote family should be incorporated into the Special Service Department! I will report the reason to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire."
Dov Minglang felt relieved, and then he was overjoyed. Being able to join the empire at this time, maybe in the future when the empire unified the entire world, he could not exist as a veteran, but he would definitely be an important figure.
"Sir, I want to ask what kind of department the Secret Service is in the Empire!"
Dov Minglang asked cautiously. He was still a little confused about the empire's system, but he believed that the Secret Service was definitely not a simple department.
Just by looking at the way they act, you can understand that once the empire issues a special wanted order, most of them are issued by this department, which shows the importance of this department.
Nagato's expression was calm.
"The Secret Service is the dark side of the empire. What we need to do is to kill the departments that threaten the rule of the empire in the dark, and absorb the nutrients of the dark world and supply it to the empire."
"And now, what you have to do is to tell us the intelligence and distribution of the underground forces you know. The Empire will use the method of eliminating the evil forces to win the hearts of the people of the world and achieve better rule!"
Dov Minglang's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect that the empire had such a side.
How to put it, the method was quite hypocritical, but he had to admit that it was extremely effective.
"Yes, sir, I will definitely contribute to the cause of the empire!"
Nagato looked at Dov Minglang's respectful attitude and nodded slightly.
"Let's go. Take me to know the kingdom here. This will be the next target of the empire!"
After saying that, Nagato walked out of the living room, completely ignoring the CP0 member who was standing stiffly on the other side.
Dov Minglang glanced at CP0 and others indifferently when he saw this, and even showed a defiant look before leaving.
He had to admit that the request of the Five Elders just now made him tempted for a moment. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If he could get the secret support of the World Government now, he could definitely expand his power.
But what does it matter! In the face of the ever-expanding empire, no matter how much his power expanded in the end.
He will have to face the entire empire, and no matter how high he climbs, he will fall hard. Instead of that, it is better for him to cling to the empire now.
Even though he will be restricted at the beginning, he believes that with his own abilities, he will be able to climb higher step by step.
The two men walked out of the luxurious living room one after the other. Not long after, they saw a group of people wearing the same black uniforms, riding a big white bird, appear in front of them.
"Boss, what are you doing..." Looking at Dofu Minglang who was following behind Nagato, Deidara tilted his head with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"From now on he will be a new member of Akatsuki. He will serve our special forces!"
Nagato replied calmly.
"What about the empire's bonus, Boss?"
Kakuzu looked very unhappy. This was a major criminal for whom the Empire had offered a reward of 10 million taels, and yet he just flew away like that. How could Kakuzu live his life like this?
Nagato paused.
"With him, you will earn more bonuses!"
When Kakuzu heard Nagato's explanation, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly changed his expression and stepped forward to hold Doflamingo's hand.
"Youngsters, let's get closer from now on!"
Dov Minglang was a little uncomfortable with the sudden intimacy. After all, as one of the underground emperors, who would dare to touch him like that?
But thinking of his current identity, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
A hint of humility appeared on Jie Ao's face, "Senior, please take care of me in the future!"
Kakuzu smiled inexplicably when he saw this, and then looked at Nagato.
"Boss, are we going back to the Empire to report now?"
Nagato shook his head.
"For the time being, follow your juniors to learn about the customs and practices of this country! You have been on a very intense mission recently, so just take a break and collect some intelligence for the empire's next move!"
Everyone in Xiao nodded, and no one objected.
After all, the Special Service Department was almost sick of doing so many missions this year, and of course this did not include Kakuzu.
Soon, a group of people, led by Doflamingo, headed towards the most prosperous area of the country.
