Chapter 459: Taking Advantage of the World Government

After Hillnans' explanation, Cody finally believed that he did not reveal this to Xie Wen...

At least on the surface.

As for whether he really believed it or not, it was not important.

After all, Cody would not arrest Hillnans for trial, and would even take the initiative to help him cover up.

After explaining to Cody, Hillnans quickly returned the Den Den Mushi to Xie Wen, and then he took the initiative to avoid it and ran away to spread the word for Xie Wen...

Although he and Cody had a close relationship, and Xie Wen and Cody did not care about being known by him, but Hillnans was not stupid. He was an ordinary navy, and it was better for him to not interfere in the affairs of the CP organization and know less about it.

Seeing Hillnans running away, Xie Wen was stunned at first. After all, he called Cody in front of him just to make him feel more at ease.

But soon, Xie Wen understood Hillnans's concerns...

Well, it doesn't matter anyway. His behavior just now has shown his attitude. Whether he succeeded in getting the power rock from the World Government is no longer important to Hillnans.

Of course, it would be the best if he could get it.

"So, when can you give me the power rock?"

"Don't even think about it! How can we give you such a dangerous thing!"

Hearing Xie Wen's matter-of-fact tone, Cody was furious...

When he asked for the devil fruit from the World Government, this brat was a bad guy. Now he wants to do it again? !

"Eh--why?" Xie Wen dragged out his voice, his tone becoming more and more lazy, "Obviously, the other seven warlords can get seastone from you, so it's almost the same for me to get two pieces of power rock, right?"

"How can it be almost the same?!" Uncle Cody continued to roar, "And those seastones are not given to them for free, but part of the transaction!"

"Then I can also trade power rocks with you, I still have some money, or if you need anything else, I can help get it."

Xie Wen directly ignored Cody's first sentence, and then began to bargain along with his next words.

"Hehe... Would the World Government need your little stuff?" Cody continued to sneer, "Give up, since you know the existence of the Power Rock, you should understand that it is impossible for the higher-ups to agree to your request."

"Why? Isn't this thing just a kind of powerful gunpowder? It's no big deal to give me one or two pieces, I don't want a lot."

"Power Rock is not a simple powerful gunpowder! Its power is comparable to... well... in short, it's very scary!"

Although he knew that Robin was with Xie Wen and he was likely to have access to information about ancient weapons, Cody still chose to skip it.

As a result, he heard Xie Wen's indifferent voice the next second: "Tsk, isn't it just to destroy the island? Klee's bomb can do the same thing with her ability. If she wasn't interested in everything that can explode, I wouldn't care about the Power Rock."

"..."

Cody fell silent instantly.

Because from the previous battle report of the "G-5 Branch Incident", the purple fire dragon that blew Kaido away was not as powerful as Xie Wen said, but it was almost the same.

Even if the island could not be completely sunk, it would not be a big problem to destroy most of the creatures and buildings on the island...

Cody instantly thought of a deal that the World Government might agree to, that is, to let Xie Wen hand over Klee's bomb formula.

Even without the bonus of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the power of the bomb would be further reduced, but in fact, this is what the World Government wants more.

Because the power of the power rock is great, but it is completely uncontrollable, but the bomb that can be put into production is different. It is a weapon that can be equipped for the CP organization and the navy.

For the World Government, there are many ways to destroy an island. The power rock is only guarded because it is dangerous to leak out, and there are actually few opportunities to use it.

Therefore, taking a little bit of something that is not used at all in normal times in exchange for a bomb formula that can be repeatedly manufactured and used, Cody does not think that the World Government will refuse this good business.

But...

He does not intend to do so.

Cody's original intention of joining the CP organization was to change the corrupt power organization of the World Government from within. Although he found that he couldn't do this even if he joined the CP organization, he didn't want the World Government to have more powerful weapons...

Although he knew that doing so would still be a drop in the bucket and would not have any impact on the World Government, Cody didn't want to make it happen by himself.

He even wanted to eliminate the possibility of Xie Wen using the bomb formula to trade.

The simplest way is of course to make it clear to Xie Wen. Cody also believes that as long as he opens his mouth, Xie Wen and Klee will cooperate, but...

If this has a clear effect, it's fine, but in fact, even if there is no Klee's formula, it's just a weapon that is less useful but has countless substitutes for the World Government.

With the character of the "good guy" Cody, he really can't let others pay for his boring and meaningless insistence.

So, before persuading Xie Wen, he has to think of a new way of trading that Xie Wen can accept...

"Uncle Cody? Are you still there?"

Xie Wen didn't know that his casual words caused Cody to fall into a brainstorm. When he saw the other party suddenly became silent, he thought it was because Cody's phone bug was in poor condition and the signal was cut off.

If he knew what Cody was struggling with, he would laugh out loud.

Because Cody really underestimated the speed of Keli Meow's bomb upgrade.

As far as Xie Wen knew, Kelimiao's "Flame Feilong" was at least half as powerful as before, not to mention the "big guy" that several little cats had been refusing to tell him. .

So even if Cody didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to hand over Kelimiao's formula...

Well, it is possible to give a formula that was eliminated a long time ago.

"I'm still listening..."

Uncle Cody's voice sounded after a while, and his tone became obviously more solemn.

"I will report the power rock matter to the report for you," Cody did not refuse Xie Wen's request this time, but replied: "As for the outcome, I cannot guarantee..."

Cody just thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with an alternative method. He simply decided to report it first to see what needs there were and then mediate it himself.

"Then...can I trouble you, uncle?"

Xie Wen hung up the phone with a confused look on his face, and then glanced at Keli Miao next to him...

Although it’s unclear why Uncle Cody suddenly changed his mind, it’s probably because of the little puppet’s magical good luck, right?

It is basically impossible for the explosives targeted by Kelimiao to escape.
