One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 423 Don Quixote Musgarud Saint

Just as Profek had said, he came to Mary Geoise in person and presented the Five Elder Stars with a gift that was hard to refuse.

"Is this why you came all the way to find us?" Saint Satan's tone remained serious, as if he was not affected at all by the boxes of specialties from the country of He in front of him.

"That's right... I came here to apologize for what happened to Doflamingo."

Profek replied respectfully.

"Hmph, if there is nothing else, please leave!" Saint Vochuli said, "We are very busy."

Profek saluted the Five Elder Stars and turned to leave.

He also had to visit other Celestial Dragons, or to be more precise, several powerful heads of Celestial Dragon families, as well as the guys from the Knights of God.

Unlike those stupid "ordinary" Tianlong people who are like pigs, the elites among Tianlong people may be equally arrogant, conceited, and pretentious, but they are by no means stupid. On the contrary, they are a group of shrewd, capable, and calculating guys.

Not only would they not make things difficult for one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" like Prophik, some of them even expressed their intention to "recruit" him, wanting Prophik to work for them.

As for the resentment caused by Doflamenco's death, it disappeared the moment they saw the gift brought by Profik.

Profique negotiated with them one by one. If it was a legitimate business, he would agree to most of them. After all, the Celestial Dragons did not value money very much, and there was a lot of money to be made by cooperating with them. As for the personal hobbies of the Celestial Dragons, such as slaves, Profique politely refused them without angering them.

As a result, he got the opportunity to open shops in several locations in Mary Joa.

Soon, there were only two people left to visit - Saint Gellinger, the "Captain of the Knights of God", and Saint Don Quixote Musgarud, the "important figure" of the Don Quixote family.

"You're worried... about that trash Doflamingo." Saint Gellinger stared at Profick, his tone calm, but with a hidden sharpness.

“I am worried indeed.”

Profek admitted frankly.

But I'm not just worried about Doflamengo, I'm also worried about you.

Unpredictable, arrogant, cruel and murderous, treating human life as worthless. These words that are definitely not positive can be used to describe Saint Gellinger, a celestial dragon with noble status and powerful strength.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to care about Doflamengo's affairs and had no hostility towards him.

"Traitors are more hateful than heretics!" Saint Gellinger said coldly, and then he issued an order to expel them, "If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly. Don't bother me for such a ridiculous reason."

But Don Quixote de Musgarud is much more "passionate".

He is also the most "special" and "normal" one among the Celestial Dragons that Profek has seen, except for the Five Elders.

Especially, it is very different from the style of other Tianlong people.

Normal is closer to what Prophet understands as what a "human being" should be like.

His mansion was clean, without a single slave, and without any strange smells or sounds.

Saint Musgard himself did not wear the strange "space suit" popular among the Celestial Dragons, nor did he wear a special glass cover to isolate the outside air. Although he did not look very smart, and even seemed a little stupid, his whole body was clean.

The most special thing is that he does not have the arrogance of other Tianlong people. Although he still retains some arrogance in his gestures, it is just a habit that he can't help but get after living in Marijoa for a long time.

Saint Musgarud welcomed Profik into his mansion with great enthusiasm. Before Profik could speak, he took the initiative to express his understanding: "I have heard about what Doflamengo did. He deserved to die. Don't worry, I will never blame you."

Although both of them have the last name Don Quixote, and both of them are considered unique among the Celestial Dragons, the relationship between Doflamingo and Saint Musgard is so distant that it can be ignored. They are truly "one family eight hundred years ago." Their styles of doing things are also very different. Doflamingo is violent and eccentric, while Saint Musgard is now polite.

Saint Musgard didn't care at all about Doflamingo's death.

Ever since he stopped regarding the Celestial Dragons as the superior "descendants of the Creator", the "face of the Celestial Dragons" immediately lost its value.

The topic of the two did not stay on Doflamingo for too long, but soon shifted to their common friend, Princess Otohime.

"I heard that Princess Otohime visited Wano Country? Is she okay?"

"Princess Otohime has now returned to Fishman Island with her newborn daughter." Profek patiently explained the situation of Princess Otohime.

Saint Musgarud nodded frequently, appearing very happy.

"Princess Otohime is a great person. I hope her ideals can become reality soon." Saint Musgard exclaimed sincerely.

Profick was also very curious about how Princess Otohime changed Saint Musgard.

Saint Musgarud did not say much about this issue.

"The great princess made me realize the filthiness of my soul in the past. Her love touched me. Now, I believe that I have become a real person."

He explained.

The two chatted briefly for a while.

"Saint Musgarud, now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved," Profick requested, "I should leave immediately, but I have one more favor to ask of you."

"Princess Yiji has given me a new life. You saved her life, so you are my friend! Don't be polite. Just tell me what you need from me!"

Saint Musgarud patted his chest, feeling quite heroic.

To put it bluntly, the power of the Celestial Dragons is really close to that of "God". As long as it does not involve another Celestial Dragon, Saint Musgarud can solve most problems with his status.

"I have some properties in Marijoa," Profek said truthfully, "and I need a spokesperson."

"This..." Saint Musgarud's smile froze instantly, "This young master is not good at business..."

In addition to supreme power, the identity of a Celestial Dragon also brought Saint Musgarud inexhaustible wealth. When it came to spending money, he was good, but when it came to making money, he was at a loss.

"Of course you don't need to show up in person," Profek explained quickly.

Even if Saint Musgarud really wanted to "take office", Profick didn't have the courage to hire a real celestial dragon to do the job. Not to mention whether the celestial dragons were reliable in business, "employing" world nobles was a big problem in law.

"You just need to be the nominal person in charge and register these businesses under your name, but I will actually be the one running them..."

"But," Saint Musgarud was a little confused, "Why do we have to do this?"

Business is business, why so many twists and turns?

Profick knew that Saint Musgarud really didn't know the secret. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said directly: "You know what your fellow tribesmen are like. If you do business in Mary Geoise without the support of the Celestial Dragons..."

Marijoa is the richest and most prosperous place in the world, but at the same time, to some extent, it is also the place with the worst "business environment".

The Celestial Dragons are rich and are not stingy with their money, but they do not follow the rules.

When they are happy, they will reward you with a large sum of gold and silver. When they are unhappy, not only will they not give you money, but they may even tear down the entire store. If you "get the right look", you will be in big trouble. Who knows, these guys may "show mercy" and let the clerk become their slave or wife.

Therefore, most of the stores in Marijoa are specialized stores that serve the Celestial Dragons regardless of the cost. The store clerks are either slaves or servants of some Celestial Dragons, or simply agents of the World Government.

Most people don't have the qualifications, strength, or courage to operate in Marijoa. They can only settle for the next best thing and operate in the Sabaody Archipelago or other surrounding islands.

There are exceptions - the World Economic News has a base in Marijoa, and even has several staff members responsible for collecting news about Marijoa. Newspapers have little appeal to the Celestial Dragons, and there are almost no Celestial Dragons who would cause trouble for the newspaper.

But even so, last year the staff resignation and job change rate of the newspaper reached a terrifying 200 percent!

Profik doesn't want his employees to be under the threat of the Celestial Dragons all day long.

The only way to solve this problem is to rely on a genuine celestial dragon to provide "protection".

“Hahahaha!” Saint Musgarud laughed. “Don’t worry! I’ll take care of this matter!”

He could not change the actions of his compatriots, but Saint Musgarud felt that it was his "duty" to protect his friend's property!
