People are sailing, monster hunters are fighting in groups

"Dover, although Brother Albert once praised him, we don't know how strong Shanks is. What if he is a rookie... Our previous robbery of Tenshojin has already alerted the Ganfulin family. If this fails, the subsequent plans will probably be affected..."

Watching the Red Hair Pirates gradually leaving the dock after discussing the matter, Pica hesitated and raised his concerns.

"Of course I understand this truth, which is why I want to use Shanks to do this. Before this, we didn't have any friendship with him on the surface, and even had a little hatred. Therefore, even if the Ganfulin family noticed their identities, they would not suspect us at that time."

Doflamingo's face was very calm at this time, and his eyes followed the Red Hair Pirates' ship gradually away.

"To deal with such a cunning and tough guy, since we can't kill him with one blow, we naturally have to constantly attract his attention, so that he will expose his flaws and hidden secrets while looking around. Shanks is a very good magnet that can attract attention... As for the strength issue you mentioned, why don't we give it a try?" Doflamingo said very naturally.

"Give it a try?" Pica was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How to try this kind of thing? Do you want me to transfer some people over?"

"Hey, Pica, you should use your brain more in the future. Don't just train your muscles all day long without training your brain..." Doflamingo glared at Pica helplessly.

Pica, who was dissed, smiled awkwardly, and he shrank his head and said nothing more.

But he was still very curious in his heart. How would Dov test Shanks?

With this question in mind, he followed Doflamingo to the dock.

After waiting for a while, Pica saw a well-disguised smile on Doflamingo's face.

He followed Doflamingo's gaze and soon, an armed transport ship appeared in Pica's sight, with some guys in black suits standing on it.

"Who are these people..." Pica asked hesitantly.

"People from the Ganfulin family." Doflamingo responded calmly.

Pica was shocked. He had been with Doflamingo for so long, and he was not a complete novice. After a while, he thought of the key.

"You sold Shanks?"

"What you said is true. It's not like I didn't give him a chance before. Since Shanks doesn't want to join us, he has to pay the price."

"To be honest, I just pushed it and told the Ganfulin family some information I knew about the suspected Sky Gold robbers. Anyway, Ben Beckman has a grudge against the Ganfulin family, right?"

After that, Doflamingo turned and walked towards the villa, and whispered as he walked: "Pica, let's see the two groups fight next. Order all personnel to keep a close eye on the information in the Den Den Mushi and the movement of Ganfulin family personnel day and night."

On the other side, on the Red Hair Pirates ship, Beckman pulled Shanks who was preparing for the banquet and asked seriously: "Shanks, don't you think there is something wrong with this?"

"Ah, what's wrong?" Shanks asked in surprise with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"No, although I don't know what your relationship was like before, do you really think that just by being a member of the Pirate King crew, you can make Doflamingo, the rising star of the Beast Pirates, who offered a bounty of more than 300 million Baileys, come to you in person to win you over?"

Beckman looked at Shanks with a look of a fool. The latter was stunned for a moment, and nodded after thinking for a moment: "This... should also be possible, after all, didn't he say that I have great potential?"

After hearing this, Beckman helplessly supported his forehead.

"Shanks, if it were me who invited you, I would definitely make a corresponding assessment of your strength, character, and compatibility, and then come up with an answer as to whether it is "worth it". What Doflamingo needs to test the most is actually your strength..."

Beckman continued with a serious look in his eyes: "But he didn't do the corresponding test just now. On the contrary, he asked you to help immediately... There is something wrong here. Would you put your hope on a matter in the hands of someone whose strength is unknown?"

"Uh... maybe he already knew my strength..." Shanks said weakly.

"How many days have you been in the North Sea?Did you do it more than ten times? You idiot, you are a fool, but that doesn't mean Doflamingo is a fool! "

After Beckman scolded Shanks, he added a few more words with a very unhappy expression.

"Next, if he really wants to cooperate with us, he will definitely arrange a round of tests on your strength. If it were me, I would definitely use a third party to complete this matter. If you pass the test, he will appear at the most appropriate time, giving you an illusion that he seems to be very good, thereby further strengthening your relationship..."

After hearing this, Shanks felt that his brain was a little itchy.

No, you think so much all day, don't your brains get tired?

"You guys are so insidious... Captain Roger and Mr. Rayleigh, how did they get along so well in this sea before? "Shanks said with some emotion.

"Well, okay, this is just a hypothesis. Maybe Doflamingo really just saw your potential..."

Beckman patted Shanks on the shoulder and continued to comfort him: "Besides, you have met before. Even if it is a test, Doflamingo will not go too far..."

It's a pity that Beckman didn't expect Doflamingo to be so insidious this time.

There is no way. This is also the result of his lack of experience. Although Beckman has a sharp eye and a flexible mind, he is limited by his vision and cannot consider many problems very thoroughly.

On the other hand, Doflamingo has been educated by the top pirate group since he was a child, and he is also a leader in the Academy of Beasts. What he has seen and heard is not comparable to Beckman, a "North Sea bumpkin".

Therefore, judging from the current level of strategy, the gap between the two is not small.
