Adding fuel to the fire?
Crocodile thought about Rowan's words.
At the same time, the broadcast outside the house continued.
"Ahem! Residents of the Aden Kingdom, this is an emergency broadcast from the World Government!"
"Please listen carefully to what I am about to say, while ensuring your own safety!"
Caesar's voice wasn't pleasant, but this speech did have the style of the "World Government."
But Crocodile still couldn't understand why the person calling himself a World Government scientist was doing a second broadcast.
However, just as Crocodile was about to listen and see what tricks the other party was up to, the broadcast suddenly went silent.
This silence lasted for several minutes, until Crocodile was getting impatient.
Another few dozen seconds passed, and some sound came from the broadcast.
Crocodile listened carefully, and it was…sobbing?
Suddenly, a loud "waah" sound came from the broadcast, so loud that the broadcast equipment was a little distorted.
Crocodile, who was concentrating, was stunned by the sound, and almost cut the broadcast into pieces with a knife. Luckily, he managed to hold back.
He wanted to hear what that bastard had to say, and then cut him into a dried corpse and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!
…
"Waah" wasn't a weird cry, but the sound of crying.
The man on the broadcast was crying his heart out.
Although only his voice could be heard, the listeners could easily imagine that the man must be crying with tears and snot all over his face.
"I…I'm sorry…"
The man cried for a while, then barely calmed down, and said slowly in a voice that hadn't recovered:
"My name is Caesar Clown, and I am a scientist belonging to the World Government's science unit…"
Then, there was a desperate roar.
"Everyone in the Aden Kingdom, the World Government hasn't abandoned you!"
"Look, I'm here, that's the best proof!"
The man named Caesar shouted until his voice almost broke.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the entire Aden Kingdom.
Caesar's voice echoed in every corner of the Aden Kingdom.
Those infected with the Crystal Ghost Virus, some of whom were already planning to risk breaking into the Four Seas Alliance camp, were also stopped by Caesar's words.
"I feel incredibly sad for what you have gone through."
Caesar's voice trembled, as if his mood was incredibly sad.
"The cruel 'Platinum Lead Disease' has appeared in your homeland, that terrifying infectious disease has taken the lives of some people of the Aden Kingdom, turning them into terrifying monsters!"
"After learning of this news, the World Government immediately began preparing to send a medical team to help."
"But in fact, facing this incurable and terrible infectious disease, even the world's recognized number one scientist - Vegapunk, is helpless!"
"So when the World Government was discussing solutions, many people suggested giving up on you!"
"But I will never give up on you!"
Caesar's voice was full of confidence.
"After a month of research, I have successfully developed a vaccine for Platinum Lead Disease!"
"As long as you inject this vaccine, even patients who have completely turned into monsters can be cured!"
"But, as you know, the Four Seas Alliance got the news and launched a surprise attack on the fleet escorting the vaccine."
"Although I managed to escape with my life, the whole batch of vaccines fell into the hands of the Four Seas Alliance!"
"I…I'm so incompetent!"
Saying this, Caesar burst into tears again.
"If I could be a little more amazing, no one would die from this damn disease, and everyone could return to the way they used to live!"
"Now, now a lot of people may die!"
Caesar's tone was as if his closest friends and relatives were dying.
Having said this, many people in the Aden Kingdom were moved to tears, and their hearts had already equated "Caesar" with "savior."
…
"Mr. Caesar, don't blame yourself!"
"You've already tried hard enough!"
"Thank you!"
"…"
…
Finally, Caesar added:
"I really, really want to die to apologize…but I can't yet!"
"I haven't done everything I can to help you yet, I can't die!"
"Please wait patiently, I will definitely think of a way, everyone will be safe, don't do anything rash!"
"Click!"
After saying that, the Den Den Mushi was turned off immediately.
…
Aden Kingdom Palace.
Broadcast room.
After Caesar put down the broadcast Den Den Mushi, the sadness on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by excited laughter.
"Shurorororo! Is this how it should be done, Joker?"
In the shadows behind Caesar, appeared a man wearing a pink feather cloak.
That person was Rosinante's older brother, Donquixote Doflamingo, who had the nicknames "Heavenly Yaksha" and "Joker"!
Doflamingo nodded, with his signature excited smile on his face, but his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Caesar was stunned and asked curiously, "Hey, Joker, what's wrong? Isn't everything going according to our plan?"
…
On the other side, Crocodile was also quite annoyed, frowning at Rowan:
"Now everything is going according to their plan, we are the passive side, and can only let them control things!"
Rowan heard this, shook his head and smiled, "So what?"
…
Doflamingo shook his head, "So what?"
He pushed up his red sunglasses, and leaned back on the sofa. "Caesar, you still don't understand what the 'plan' really is."
Caesar was even more confused.
"I know!"
"As long as we first appear in the Aden Kingdom as a 'savior', and gain control of the public opinion, then no matter what the Four Seas Alliance does, they will be constrained, isn't that the plan?"
…
"No."
Rowan shook his head, and looked at Crocodile, "What you said is the content of their 'plan', but what I'm asking is, what do the two words 'plan' really mean?"
…
"What is all this about?"
Caesar was full of questions, but what he got in return was Doflamingo's signature laughter.
"Fuffuffuffuffu…"
In the laughter, there was the usual arrogance, but at the same time Caesar actually heard some…self-mockery?!
…
Rowan looked at Crocodile, and slowly said with a smile:
"The so-called plan - refers to the means by which the weaker party overcomes the stronger when facing the stronger party."
"Through the successful implementation of the plan, the weaker party can try to lower the stronger party, so that the two sides can stand on the same level as much as possible."
Rowan curled his fingers, and the sand around him began to move.
He leaned back in his chair, propping his chin with one hand.
"Now, Doflamingo has taken the lead in using the 'plan,' and played the cards in his hand, so just now it was his turn, and we could only watch him set up the situation."
"But on the other hand…"
Faint rumbling sounds came from all around, it was the earth shaking.
As a user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, Crocodile was the first to notice Rowan's actions.
And in Crocodile's surprised eyes, Rowan smiled:
"Now, it's our turn."
…
Aden Kingdom's broadcast room.
Doflamingo grinned, but a drop of sweat could be vaguely seen falling from his forehead.
"Let's play, emperor from 800 years ago…"
He muttered.
Playing first means showing weakness!
Doflamingo had been working in the dark world for many years, and naturally understood this principle, but he had no choice but to do so.
Reason?
Because he didn't dare to let that Ryan Rowan play first!
He had to go first, he had to seize the initiative!
This was a big gamble.
A gamble that put everything Doflamingo had on the line, including the Donquixote Family!
