Chapter 151 The Lion Opens Its Mouth

"BIG·MOM is willing to exchange for Nico Robin in exchange for a rubbing of the historical text she collected, plus three Devil Fruits. I'm not very interested in the historical text, but it's undeniable that the price offered by BIG·MOM is very high. Sincerity.”

Eleus's answer is not the worst.

But it also gave Warring States some headaches.

The fact that the Black Prince has no ambition to explore taboos is certainly worthy of his peace of mind, but what he said made the lion open his mouth and made it clear that he would blackmail him and the navy severely, if he did not pay a price that satisfied him , I’m afraid there’s no way to imprison Nicole Robin easily.

And the longer you stay outside, the greater the risk. There are many careerists who covet Nicole Robin's abilities!

"what do you want?"

Sengoku asked directly.

"So direct? Okay! I don't hate direct communication, but... When Nico Robin was eight years old, the World Government was willing to put out a bounty of 79 million Beli. Although by It hasn’t increased yet, but I think the World Government has never relaxed its pursuit of Nico Robin, right?”

Elus doesn't know how rich the world government and navy are. Even if he has a grandfather who works within the world government and Zefa, a former general's partner, he is still facing this behemoth. Only the tip of the iceberg can be seen.

Compared with him blindly asking for a price, it would be better to let Warring States take the initiative to quote.

"Prince Elvus, you are really greedy." Sengoku obviously understood Elvus's intention, and his expression was distorted. It seemed that it would be impossible without some blood. He thought about it. After a moment, he said: "How about five Devil Fruits, plus 500 million Berry?"

"Five devil fruits are good, but I'm not interested in money."

"Then what do you want?"

Veins throbbed in the corners of Sengoku's eyes.

"This time we destroyed the Baroque Works and my men found a very interesting toy, a gun that ate a devil fruit."

"... Damn it! Crocodile, that bastard."

Warring States' face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Even within the World Government and the Navy, there are not many weapons like this that have eaten Devil Fruits. One of them actually strayed outside and fell into the hands of Crocodile. Now it has become the reason for Elus to blackmail him. This matter ······Just thinking about it makes me angry!

"Whether you believe it or not, the Navy does not have idle Devil Fruit weapons now. Most of those weapons are in the hands of the World Government. I..."

"No, no, no, I'm not interested in the finished Devil Fruit weapons. What I want is technology, five Devil Fruits, plus the technology to make Devil Fruit weapons, and I will hand over Nico Robin to you. "Elvus bared his fangs and opened his bloody mouth, ready to blackmail the World Government and the Navy severely.

"Technology? This is impossible!!!"

Warring States flatly refused.

"That's right! Then if Nico Robin escapes, it won't be disadvantageous for my subordinates to guard her!"

"Boy, you..."

Warring States was furious.

He no longer uses the honorific title of 'Prince Elus'.

"Little...Prince Elus." Sengoku is a wise general. He is not the kind of character who is easy to get angry. His momentary anger was quickly suppressed by reason. He took a breath and said slowly: "Sorry, I was rude just now, but this kind of technology is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, and there is no room for negotiation."

He apologized first, and then gave Elus a decisive answer.

That is to say, it is because Elus does not have the identity of a pirate, and because of his military power that stands at the top of the world, Sengoku's attitude is so good. If it were other kings, Shichibukai, who dared to bargain with him like this, Even Hawkeye couldn't make him apologize.

"If you can't make the decision, ask the Five Old Stars to contact me!" Elus said and hung up the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Prince Elus?"

Warring States looked at the phone that had no response. The phone bug had lowered his head again. The green blood vessels on his forehead were beating visibly to the naked eye. He spent a lot of effort to control the anger in his heart and did not crush the phone in his hand. Into scum.

"Warring States, contact Wulaoxing!"

General He, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, spoke again.

When talking to Elus just now, Sengoku chose to put the phone out. The voice of the insect was turned up through the loudspeaker). Lieutenant General He, who was sitting on the sofa, also heard the conversation between Sengoku and Elus. Naturally, he also heard the unreasonable request of the lion Elus.

"Ahe."

Warring States was not in a good mood.

"Nicole Robin, it involves a hundred years of blank time. It would be better for Five Old Stars to handle such a matter." Lieutenant General He said slowly.

More than ten years ago, O'Hara, the famous archaeological holy place in the West Sea, also the hometown of Nicole Robin, was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Demon-Slaying Order. Everyone knew that it was the Warring States Period who issued the Demon-Slaying Order, but few people I know that the Warring States Period also received direct orders from Wulaoxing.

After discovering that eight-year-old Nicole Robin escaped from O'Hara alive, the World Government directly set a bounty of up to 79 million berries for her. You must know that this is only an eight-year-old child, even if Big Mom, that natural freak, only offered a reward of 50 million Berry for the first time.

In addition to the bounty on the surface, the World Government also secretly dispatched CP agents to hunt down Nicole Robin. If it weren't for Kuzan's protection, Nicole Robin would have fallen into the hands of the World Government.

"What a bastard."

After a moment of silence, Zeng Guo cursed.

However, he handed the microphone to his left hand, reached out with his right hand to the keyboard on the phone bug's back, and began to contact the Five Old Stars in the Holy Land.

————

New World, within the Kingdom of Exmundo, Skadi Island.

Since the establishment of the research institute, Elvus has come to this winter island frequently. When Miss. Bajin was recently sent to the research institute, there was nothing important. He stayed in the research institute most of the time, paying attention all the time. A study of miss. Ba Jin and Caesar.

It has to be said that miss. Bajin was able to breed a freak like Weibull, and his achievements in biotechnology were quite impressive. Caesar was still unconvinced by this squat little old lady when they first met, but when miss. Bajin improved, After Caesar developed the technology to create artificial dragons, he withered away.

Of course, although Caesar has a lot of shortcomings, including being arrogant, lying, and dissolute, his extremely conceited shortcomings also make him extremely resilient. He has been hit by Vegapunk so many times, but he still firmly believes that he Will definitely surpass Vegapunk...

miss. Ba Jin can't destroy Caesar's mysterious self-confidence.

After some discussions and collisions, the two dark scientists, who had equally bad personalities and were completely incompatible with the good guys, pinched their noses and slowly began to cooperate under the watchful eyes of Elus, because the cooperation between the two was obviously not good enough. , so Eleus didn’t urge any new experiments.

Caesar continued his original research, and Miss. Ba Jin was responsible for improving Caesar's technical achievements.

In view of the fact that these two people are not very good, although Capas is arranged to be responsible for the security work on the island, this lazy guy who loves to sleep may not be able to deal with Caesar and Miss. Bajin, so Eleus is basically Xanadu sits on the island of Skadi.

This is Elus' private room.

He hung up the call to Sengoku.

Looking at the phone bug lying on the table, he waited patiently for the contact from Wulaoxing.

He did not doubt the possibility of the Five Old Stars contacting him. From the past rough behavior of the World Government, it can be seen that they are wary of everything and everyone involved in the blank hundred years, and they will destroy O'Hara at all costs. If Were it not for the indestructibility of the historical text, these things would probably not be preserved today.

At one time, the World Government had confiscated nearly ten pieces of historical text, and tried its best to destroy these things. The only stonemason clan that could leave traces of writing on the historical text, the Kozuki family of Wano Country, and the world The government has never had anything to do with it. No matter whether it was inducement or coercion, it never got the relevant secrets.

In the end, not only were these historical texts not destroyed, but someone within the World Government secretly studied the texts and fled with the historical texts.

The betrayers were eliminated by the World Government without any accident, but the collected historical texts were once again lost. Since then, the World Government has never done such a thankless thing. These stones are hidden in extremely dangerous places all over the world. Hidden places, even the world government paid a huge price to collect them.

If you think about it carefully, most people don't know the ancient texts above, so even if they were collected, they would be of little use.

Even O'Hara did not master the interpretation skills of ancient texts from the beginning. Instead, he found the long-lost interpretation methods through archaeology again and again. As a result, some members of the archaeological team were afraid of interpreting ancient texts from historical texts. The deciphered secret secretly contacted the World Government... In the end, O'Hara was destroyed by gunfire, and now only Nico Robin is left as his successor.

In short,

The World Government has always been willing to kill the wrong person rather than let it go when it comes to a hundred years of history.

He believed that Wu Laoxing would not miss the opportunity to deal with Nico Robin.

This is the last known key in the world that can decipher the text of history. Unless there is another freak like Gol D. Roger, the ability to listen to the voices of all things is beyond the control of the world government. .

"Poruporu!"

The phone bug opened its eyes and let out a series of calls to remind him of an incoming call.

Only seven minutes had passed since the call with Sengoku ended.

Elus laughed. He picked up the microphone and said in a brisk voice, "Hey, is this the Five Old Stars?"

This sudden greeting probably surprised the old people on the other end. After about three seconds of silence, there was new movement from the phone bug.

"Socaccio Eleus."

A majestic voice came from the phone bug's mouth.

"It's me! It's me."

"Nicole Robin is a heinous sinner and must accept justice..."

"I didn't say no!" Elus interrupted the other person's words rudely and said calmly: "It's just that catching Nico Robin took a lot of my strength! My subordinates were defeated. Rockdar is almost exhausted from fighting, you can’t let me work for nothing, can you? Even the Navy has to pay monthly wages!”

"This is your responsibility as the King Shichibukai." The speaker changed, and his domineering voice was full of obedience.

pity,

This is of no use to Elus.

"I'm not a pirate, and I didn't receive an order beforehand about this incident. If you insist on using this identity to make an issue, you can announce in the newspaper that I will be eliminated from the King's Shichibukai. "Aleus refused to give in.

"Boy, you are so arrogant!"

There was an old man opposite who was angry.

"So what? I have the confidence to be arrogant, don't I?" Elus mocked mercilessly.

He worked hard to develop the forces under his command, and at the same time colluded with the Revolutionary Army and other forces. Now he dare not say that he can be a direct enemy of the World Government, but the World Government does not expect to be able to deal with him easily, and he does not think that he is An enemy recognized by the World Government.

There are revolutionary troops and the Four Emperors blocking the way.

The Five Old Stars would only start a war with him unless they were crazy. Even if they found out that he controlled Caesar and secretly produced artificial devil fruits... To be honest, they might not immediately break up with Elus. Shameless.

as expected,

Although the Five Old Stars were very angry after being mocked unceremoniously by Elus, they also admitted that Elus did have the confidence to be arrogant, and judging from Elus's attitude, it can be seen that He really didn't care about Nico Robin, which meant that he really didn't have forbidden ambitions.

As long as you don't directly oppose the establishment of a world government, don't touch the Celestial Dragons, and don't touch taboos like a blank hundred years of history.

It's okay for Elus to be arrogant. At least for the sake of Elus's strength, the Five Old Stars don't care if Elus has some outrageous behavior.

"The technology...the technology of making inanimate things eat Devil Fruits can be given to you, along with the five Devil Fruits. But in contrast, you must ensure that Nicole... Robin, hand it over.”

The speaker changed again. This one's voice was not as domineering as the previous two, but it was still full of meaning that could not be refused.

It is true that the world government has always restricted the development of science and technology.

However, the technology for making Devil Fruit weapons is not a top secret in the eyes of the Five Old Stars. This technology does not have any generalizability. Except for the world government, the world government can be so luxurious as to feed treasures like Devil Fruit to inanimate creatures. Except for food, generally no one would waste Devil Fruit like this.

after all,

People who eat Devil Fruits can continuously develop and become stronger through exercise, but how can inanimate objects become stronger after eating Devil Fruits... This is a bottleneck that Vegapunk has not yet broken through. Those who have created The Devil Fruit weapons can play a certain role in low-level battles, but unfortunately they are of little use in high-level battles.

In view of the above considerations, the Five Old Stars readily agreed to Elus's rude request.

"Nicole Robin is in Alabasta. You send someone to pick her up. I'm not responsible for escorting her. Also, I hand over the goods and deliver the goods. I don't like anyone to default on their debt."

"That's it! We will contact you with detailed transaction details."

After that, the call was interrupted, and the Phone Bug lowered its head once again. It opened its mouth and ate the feed from the small plate in front of it. It continued to make long-distance calls, which consumed a lot of the Phone Bug's physical strength. Its belly Grumbling with hunger!

Elus smiled brightly and gently placed the microphone in his hand on the back of the eating phone bug.

The joy couldn't stop leaking from the corners of her raised lips.

There is indeed no problem with the considerations of the Five Old Stars, but if they knew that Elus had mastered the technology of mass production of artificial devil fruits, I am afraid they would not think so. Of course, artificial devil fruits and devil fruits are not exactly the same, then Different technologies may not have the same effect on artificial Devil Fruits.

But as long as there is a prototype of the technology, Caesar, an expert in pirated Vegapunk technology, plus the help of miss. Ba Jin, and technical assistance from the Kingdom of Germa, it should not be difficult to overcome such a small obstacle.

Moreover,

This is a business without capital.

For Elus, it was just a matter of making more or less. There was no pressure to lose money at all. On the contrary, it was the World Government that had to lose both his wife and his troops.
