Chapter 294: Support of the Territory

"Baaaaaaaaaaaa."

Not long after, a familiar evil laugh sounded at the gate of the palace.

Doflamingo was still wearing the familiar pink feather coat, with his hands in his pockets and arrogant steps, and walked into the palace.

"Long time no see, Sag, I thought you forgot about me after you got the territory, blah blah blah!"

"Hahahaha, are you such a fragile person?"

Sag laughed and waved, "Let's have a feast!"

As he said, he glanced at Doflamingo, "Are you alone?"

"Hey, I brought some sailing men, but it doesn't matter, my kingdom is also very busy."

Doflamingo said, looking around the palace.

After Hawkins' redesign, the originally somewhat dark hall can now emit a glow. According to the characteristics that Sager likes, the palace gates are made of a mixture of gold and silver, and are carved with complex patterns.

As for the interior, the spacious and tall hall first has a gorgeous carpet that runs from the door to the bottom of the throne. The walls on both sides are covered with gold foil as a whole, and the tapestries on them depict some scenes in colorful colors.

There are also sculptures made of gold and gems under the tapestries, and some of them have weapons hanging in their hands.

Doflamingo took a casual look and found that these weapons seemed to be pretty good, and there was also a sword blade that looked like a soft whip.

"These weapons were confiscated. I think the finished products are good. It would be a pity to discard them. Let's just use them for viewing."

Sag laughed and stood up from the golden velvet throne that had been moved here from the captain. He said to Lily beside him: "Let someone entertain Dover's subordinates. It will definitely not be worse than in Dressrosa when they come here."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm not here to visit. Don't you have something to do with me?" Doflamingo laughed.

"Let's talk while eating. I'll show you my current territory!"

Sag laughed and took Doflamingo to the banquet hall.

The original restaurant was also redesigned. The huge gate occupied one of the walls. After opening it, you can see the huge courtyard. There is also a huge fountain in the courtyard. It is surrounded by exotic flowers and plants. The center of the flower bed is made up of patterns made of gems.

From here, you can even see the huge city below through the courtyard.

This is prepared for a big banquet.

Inside the banquet hall, there is a magnificent giant chandelier full of gems in the center. Under the chandelier hangs a crystal bead curtain, shining brightly and illuminating the entire banquet hall.

Under the chandelier is a huge long table with gold-rimmed carvings facing the door that occupies the wall. The tableware used is gold-rimmed enamel bone china tableware.

Bella has been waiting here for a long time. When she saw the two coming, she picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Sager first, and then poured wine for Doflamingo.

"Nappa"

Doflamingo picked up the wine glass, smelled it first, then took a sip and smiled: "It's still twenty years old or above. The ordinary one costs 700,000 berries per bottle, and the ones over ten years old cost 2 million. Those over twenty years old are almost extinct in the sea. If it's auctioned, it should be worth tens of millions of berries."

Sag bared his teeth and said: "A pirate happened to rob a batch of black market merchants under my command and bought them. There were a total of twelve bottles, and it only cost more than 10 million berries. I bought them."

"Buy? Hehehehehe, you are very strange, Sag. But this is your territory, you can do whatever you want, pirates are such creatures."

Doflamingo smiled: "But, is this how you spend your money?"

The 20 billion berries that were placed with him, Doflamingo dragged Umit's channel two months ago, all came over, plus the annual interest of 40%, a total of 28 billion berries.

Of course, it was not pure cash, because Sager wanted a lot of gold and jewelry, which were also brought here as equivalents.

"Money is used to exchange for equivalents. Don't you think it's pleasing to the eye? This is my territory, so of course I have to spend money to decorate it well."

Sage opened his hand, "If you don't spend it, it will be waste paper."

Designing the palace is a huge expense, and there must not be so much gold robbed, so you have to buy it through other channels.

The gold robbed by the pirates here also needs to be bought by Sager, just like he said, it will give people the opportunity to make money.

After passing through the black market merchants, Sager bought it at a fair price, so that everyone can make money, and Sager can also collect a tax.

In addition, the necessities for rebuilding the city also need to be bought with money, because this is his territory, and of course he pays for the materials himself.

Building a territory will definitely lose money in the early stage, but in exchange for a prosperous territory, it won't take long for the tax revenue to pay back.

After all, no matter how much he tries, the meat will be rotten in the pot and belong to him.

In addition, the tax revenue generated in the process is just a transfer from one hand to the other, but this transfer will make this place more prosperous.

Not long after, Marika led the chef to push the dining cart and serve the dishes one by one to the table.

"Dressrosa has three specialties, Dressrosa seafood risotto, rose squid ink pasta, and fairy pumpkin cold soup. I also have some specialties here, Marika, introduce them." Sager smiled.

Marika nodded with a smile, pointing to a dish of venison:

"Gareth's grilled venison steak is made from deer that live in the mountains and forests of Gareth on the main island. It is made with local peppers, green onions and ginger, marinated in old wine, grilled, and seasoned. Yes, this approach is also good for the body.”

"This thing nourishes the kidneys!" Sage said concisely.

“Pheasant stewed with Armillaria mushrooms.”

Marika pointed to another dish and said: "It comes from Timaton on Fujima Island. The local pheasant is like a phoenix. The meat quality is very good, and the fungi that grow in the mountains and forests of the main island make the dishes very delicious."

"This thing can replenish a weak body!" Sage added again.

"Vacano donuts are made from flour ground from local wheat. They have a unique fragrance and taste even better when baked. They are then sprinkled with simple icing sugar to make them delicious."

"Flower Pearl Chestnut Soup. Locally produced chestnuts are like pearls and are very nutritious. Just use flowers as the condiment, and they will have the aroma of petals."

"The beef curry in coconut milk is made from specialty products, especially coconut, which is considered a treasure. The spices in the curry are also pretty good."

Marika smiled and introduced a total of seven or eight dishes before stopping.

There are a total of one hundred and eighty-eight dishes served, a dazzling array of dishes, and all the ingredients used are rare, but there are only so many that are highlighted.

Doflamingo is a smart man, he can understand what it means.

Halfway through the introduction, he got it.

Sager is using food to show how much territory he has obtained, and at the same time, it is also telling people how he uses those territories.

So much land to support him alone

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm so envious of you, and these pearl chestnuts."

Doflamingo looked at the bowl of chestnut soup in front of him and said with a smile: "This ingredient is very famous. I remember it is a local specialty of 'Stittfield'. That island is yours Found it?"

Ingredients are nothing.

The reason why Doflamingo knows about that island is because there are extremely rich iron ore deposits under the island.

Doflamingo has a large arms trade, and is also very sensitive to some islands with iron ore, but he knows the name but not the location, and the important thing is

"That's where the World Government is, Sage, did you take it?"

The power of the World Government is not only at the entrance to the New World, but also has territory in the depths. But comparing the Paradise and the Four Seas, their power here is very scattered, so it seems like there is no one.

"Just got it last month."

Sager said: "I am preparing to build ships and weapons, but I am short of a lot of iron. The price of the iron brought by the merchants is too high, and the quantity is not enough at all. I just got the news, and coincidentally, I was adding It’s near Reis, so I have no reason not to get it.”

Behind each of these introduced ingredients, there is an island and a new territory.

Since the example of Andre, some guys nearby have taken the initiative to report their coordinates. Some of the nearby ones are of course taken under Sag's command.

If it is rich in spices, it is also rich in a lot of good wood.

Some carnivores are also rich in stones.

Stones are worthless, of course, because there are a lot of mountains locally. Although the main island of Gareth also has mountains, there are other places that can be developed, and Sag does not want to use Gareth as its core territory for development.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, do you mean you're ready?" Doflamingo said with a smile.

"Yes."

It was not Sag who spoke, but Lily who rushed over. She took out a gem with colors like the rainbow and placed it in front of Doflamingo's desk.

"The main thing is to see this."

"Rainbow gem? I've always heard you talk about it, but I didn't expect it to be actually made."

Doflamingo didn't pick it up, he just glanced at it and said, "Is it just this?"

"Let's talk about this first."

Sager said: "In terms of raw materials alone, each one costs 50,000 beli, not counting my labor. How much will it be when it is officially put into production?"

"A factory with at least 500 people can produce 200 pills in a month." Lily said.

"Yes, let's set a price for this thing. It is a gem after all. If it is sold to those idiot nobles, it should be worth a lot of money. You should know the price better than me. I will give you a 20% profit on this. Of course, you If you can do it and get the nobles to endorse it as something like Pele, I’ll be even with you!”

Sage waved his hand proudly.

Selling it is one thing, but if this rainbow gem that he can hold in his hands can be turned into something that can be circulated like Bailey, the value will be huge!

Money is just used to harvest a large amount of materials.
