Chapter 301 A Small Contradiction
Kaido's Barbarossa Kingdom Military Factory is just one of the many arms production bases that Lex has set up in the New World.
There are countless production bases like the Barbarossa Military Factory in the New World, large and small, including small workshops, super-giant military factories across the country, and some high-tech weapons production lines led by scientific research institutes.
No matter how many weapons these military factories produce, Lex will take them all. Bailey is not a problem that restricts Lex at all.
To be more precise, Lex launched a cross-sea trade chain plan, built a golden waterway running through Qinghai, and lured the Celestial Dragon family to invest. Almost all of the huge wealth earned through these means was secretly invested by Lex into the weapons production line.
What all weapons manufacturers in the New World don’t know is that—
Lex stored all the arms he purchased and not a single one was sold out!
Very few people knew about this matter. At least in the entire New World, no one except Roy and Gut knew Lex's "true intentions".
Invest all of your massive wealth into arms production, and one day, sell them off at low prices or even for free!
Holding a sharp weapon, one will naturally become murderous.
By then, what kind of darkness and chaos will the sea people who have obtained various new weapons, and the small forces and small groups who have obtained advanced artillery and even high-end weapons push the world into?
Lex knew it all.
But he still has to do it, he just has to do it, he just wants to do it!
Only by returning life to the world can we rely on the power of the entire ocean to break the corrupt situation in which Im and Joey Boy have monopolized the divine power for 800 years. For this, it doesn't matter if more people die...

The first half of the new world: Dressosa.
This is a country with a long history. Its earliest royal family was the Don Quixote family, which is now one of the 19 families of the Celestial Dragons.
800 years ago, with the "victory" of the Celestial Dragons, the Don Quixote family moved to the holy land of Marijoa, and the Riku family became the new Dressosotha royal family, that is, the Riku royal family.
Dressrosa King's Highlands.
The slightly immature boy Doflamingo, wearing a black cloak and a pair of cool sunglasses, has a dangerous arc on his slightly raised mouth that makes people tremble.
This is the bad boy who is feared by everyone, but now he is sitting high in the king's high place, issuing orders -
"Hmmmm!~ Anis, what's wrong with you, woman?!~"
Veins bulged on the forehead of the young Doflamingo as he stared coldly at the sexy girl in front of him.
Anis, the top person in charge of the Dressrosa Fun Street branch, is under the jurisdiction of the Fun Street Queen Stussy.
Doflamingo can be considered as the black glove trained by Lex.
Doflamingo is questioning Anice now only because Anice did not complete the task she was supposed to complete.
Doflamingo continued to question in a cold voice:
"Why did the number of artificial devil fruits produced by the Dressrosa dwarfs decrease by one third this year?!~"
The Tontata clan of Dressrosa, also known as the famous 'fairy clan', commonly known as the dwarf clan, is one of the special races on the sea.
A few years ago, Lex asked Dr. Vegapunk to come up with the technology to produce artificial devil fruits. Combined with the dwarf people's natural talent for planting, Dressrosa has become an important base for the production of artificial devil fruits in recent years.
Likewise, the devil fruits produced were taken away by Lex and stored, waiting to be used to bring disaster to the world one day.
Anis remained calm, staring into Doflamingo's eyes which were not clearly visible behind his sunglasses, and said directly:
"The Tontata clan took out a devil fruit and used it as a bargaining chip to reduce the production of artificial devil fruits by one third this year."
Anice told Doflamingo the reason, but he didn't appreciate it at all:
"Hmmmm~ One devil fruit in exchange for more than a thousand artificial devil fruits?!~ What kind of devil fruit made a stupid woman like you agree to such a condition?!"
Anis ignored Doflamingo's sarcastic attitude and replied calmly:
"Paradoxic Healing Fruit."
? ? ~
Doflamingo was stunned for a moment, then his laughter became even colder:
"Hmmmm! You stupid woman with a head full of ￥&! You can make up for the lack of artificial devil fruits in Dressrosa this year by yourself! I want to see how you can show it to Mr. Rex--"
Doflamingo closed his mouth immediately before he could finish his words. To be more precise, he was forced to close his mouth.
Because the next moment——
A tall and strong young man with long dark golden hair slowly walked out of the villa behind Anise. He had a stern face and walked straight towards Doflamingo.
"Dover? Tian Yasha? ... If you were not Mr. Lex's subordinate, you would not be standing here and talking at this moment."
The dark blond young man said lightly, his tone full of disdain for Doflamingo, but Doflamingo didn't dare to refute at all, and was even so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.
Even though they are both possessors of domineering Haki, there is still a huge gap between them.
At least in front of this young man named Douglas Barrett, Doflamingo is really nothing.
Doflamingo looked at Barrett:
"Um, why are you here?"
"Haha, Anis is my woman, why do you think I am here?"
Hearing this, Doflamingo wanted to slap himself hard.
I was quite rude just now and cursed at Anise.
Anis walked silently to Barrett's side and snuggled up to this extremely powerful and famous strongest man of the new generation.
"First, if you have an artificial devil fruit, get out now. Second, if you have injuries all over your body, get out. Choose one, Dover."
For Barrett, if Doflamingo hadn't also worked for Lex and did a good job, he would have died long ago.
In the world of the strong, there is often no need for any reason. They will kill you just because they are unhappy with you. This in itself is very reasonable.
Weakness is the original sin.
For Doflamingo, this sentence made him extremely heartbroken at the moment. Barrett was also Mr. Lex's younger brother, so why was he so arrogant?
Just because he defeated BIG MOM a year ago, and then challenged various strong people in the New World.
At the age of less than 20, without the blessing of any devil fruit, he became one of the most powerful people in the New World after Golden Lion and Whitebeard.
Not long ago in the Antalya Islands in the westernmost waters, he was defeated by the King-level Swift Swordsman Shanuo with just one move away.
From this we can see that Barrett’s current strength is worthy of being Lex’s deputy.
Doflamingo's face changed, and he finally took away a large number of artificial devil fruits under the cold gazes of Barrett and Anice. As for the missing part, he never dared to mention it again, and he would find a way to solve it himself.
After Doflamingo left, in front of the villa——
Anis snuggled in Barrett's arms:
"Hey~ Is it really okay to do this?"
In essence, it is difficult to judge right from wrong in this matter. Neither party is wrong, but neither party is quite right to the other party.
Barrett shook his head slightly:
"I will explain to Mr. Lex through the call bug in a while. Mr. Lex once mentioned the healing fruit to me casually, which shows that this fruit is very important, so it's worth it. ...Besides, even if we are wrong, Mr. Lex will not blame any of us. For him, no matter if it's me, you, or Dover, as long as you don't betray him, no matter what conflicts arise between us, he will just mediate with a smile. As for the missing devil fruit, he doesn't care at all. He is such a broad-minded man."
After saying this, Barrett's face was filled with pride, because the man he followed had a broad mind and a great ambition.
Anis's face was full of happiness as she snuggled in Barrett's arms.
