Chapter 164 Blackmail
Kacha~
After hanging up the phone, Taotu still felt her heart beating hard.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down her agitated emotions, she got up and rushed to the Luxiang again.
The surrounding navy had guessed that she was carrying an important mission, so they didn't say anything and just watched her board the pirate ship again.
"I have asked Marshal Sengoku." Pushing open the forecastle door of the Luxiang, Taotu looked at Aoun and said as calmly as possible:
"Marshal Sengoku said that he can tell you the relevant information about the armed color entanglement, but he needs something from you?"
"What is it?" Although he had guessed what the World Government wanted, Aoun still looked curious.
"Your blood."

Taotu tried to make herself look calm when she said this.
"My blood?" Orn frowned, showing a vigilant look at the right time:
"What do you want to do with my blood?"
"I don't know the specific situation." Taotu tried to get away with it: "I am only responsible for conveying the meaning from above."
Orn made a gesture of hesitation, and after a long time, he asked tentatively:
"Can't someone else's blood work? Whose blood do you want, I can help you get it, there is no need to use my blood, right?"
Taotu's brows frowned slightly.
How should she respond to this? The World Government obviously doesn't want any random blood, but if it shows that it must be Orn's blood, wouldn't it expose their intentions?
In silence, Taotu slowly stood up and said:
"Since you can't come up with what Marshal Zhan Guo wants, there is no need to continue this transaction. Let's meet again if we are destined to meet again."
Taotu secretly prayed in her heart that Orn would speak to keep her.
But as she was about to walk out the door, Orn still showed no sign of speaking.
How could this happen!
Taotu found that she seemed to have messed up again.
If this deal really ended, how would she explain to Marshal Zhan Guo?
Marshal Zhan Guo had given her full authority to take charge of this matter. If she messed it up...
In a trance, Taotu seemed to have felt Zhan Guo's disappointed eyes on her.
Slowly rubbing to the edge of the fence of the Luxiang, looking at the warship docked not far away, Taotu clenched her fists, and finally walked back to the forecastle with big strides.
Seeing Taotu coming back, Orn finally showed a smile of victory - he, Orn, had finalized this bamboo pole!
"I guessed right, you will come back eventually."
Taotu glared at him helplessly, and then asked with a wry smile:
"Why are you so sure that I will come back to you?"
She couldn't suppress her curiosity after all.
As Orn asked Lola, who had prepared lunch, to bring the pre-meal white wine, he smiled and said:
"The method of armament color entanglement is not only mastered by your navy. Even if you don't trade with me, I can go to other forces to inquire later.
But my blood belongs to me alone, you can only come to talk to me... talk while eating."
"What a cunning pirate!"
Momo Rabbit shook his head and sighed, subconsciously took a sip of the wine glass:
"White wine from Portego Island in the New World? This wine is not cheap."
Portego Island is a famous "wine island" in the New World. Because of its long-standing reputation and its location in the New World, the number that can be transported to the paradise is very small, and the price of any bottle is more than 200,000 Baileys.
"If you like, you can take two bottles back."
Oen was quite generous at this time-after all, he was a dog owner with a warehouse of gold.
At this time, Lola came in with a dining cart. As the delicacies were placed on the table, Taotu's eyes were unconsciously attracted by those exquisite dishes.
This is really true that appearance is not enough to judge a person. I didn't expect that the plain-looking female pirate actually had such outstanding skills.
Even among a group of pirates, Taotu was very calm and had lunch with Yamato and others.
Not long after, lunch was almost finished.
After gently wiping the corners of her mouth and expressing her gratitude to Lola, Taotu looked at Aoun and said:
"The meal is over. Next, it's time to talk about the main topic... Tell me, what exactly do you want to give up your blood."
Seeing that all the previous attempts had lost their effect, Taotu gave up trying to be clever and just honestly asked Aoun what he wanted.
After a brief pause, Orn, who was already full of food and wine, said:
"First, the training method of Armament Color Entanglement is necessary, and then... three superhuman devil fruits, the technology to embed seastone under the hull, 2 billion berries, and ten pairs of seastone handcuffs, how about it?"
"I say, do you think our navy is a sucker?"
Almost the moment Orn's voice fell, Taotu sneered:
"If you come to negotiate with the navy with this idea, then this deal really doesn't need to continue."
Seeing Taotu's reaction so intense, Orn realized that his appetite was a little too big, so he smiled and said:
"Businesses are all negotiated. I just put forward my requirements. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly raise it and we will discuss adjustments."
"The Naval Science Corps is indeed interested in your blood now, but your blood is not that valuable."
Taotu finally expressed his psychological expectations:
"The Armed Color Training Method plus a Superman-type Devil Fruit and three pairs of Sea Tower Stone Handcuffs are probably the only things I can apply for."
"I said, I am a Shichibukai after all. Is my blood so cheap?"
Aoun shouted in dissatisfaction, and then said:
"Two Superman-type Devil Fruits, the technology of inlaying the Sea Stone, plus a billion Baileys and ten pairs of low-purity Sea Stone handcuffs should be enough.
The seastone handcuffs are not valuable to your navy, and the technology of inlaying seastones on the hull is not a secret in your navy, and they are also not worth a few dollars. "
Taotu saw Aoun's resolute look and his attitude of never retreating. After hesitating for a moment, Taotu finally said:
"I want to ask Marshal Warring States for instructions again."
Snapped!
Aoun took out the exclusive phone bug directly from his arms and slapped it in front of Peach Rabbit.
Taotu then picked up the phone and dialed Sengoku again.
…………
It was already sunset by the time Peach Rabbit left the Luxiang No.
"Lieutenant General Zhiyuan, are you really not going back with two bottles of wine?"
Ornn lifted a basket of white wine and shook it at her.
Seeing his appearance, Taotu knew that the little fox's attitude when he was arguing with Warring States was definitely acting again.
Perhaps with the mentality of having already lost so much, she could take back a little bit, so she snatched the basket of wine from Aoun's hand and jumped onto her warship without looking back. On the deck, he said angrily:
"Remember what you promised to the Warring States Marshal."
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep the details of the sea floor stone inlay technology and today's transaction secret."
After hearing Aoun's assurance, Peach Rabbit was completely relieved, so he ordered the sailors to drive the warship to the Chambord Islands.
It wasn't until after watching the two warships go away that Aoun turned around, looked at Robin and Yamato with some pride and asked:
"How about it, am I so powerful that I can get so many things with just one tube of blood?"
After a long period of bargaining, the final transaction price reached by Aoun and Sengoku was: the training method of armed color entanglement + two superhuman devil fruits + sea tower stone inlay technology + five pairs of low-purity sea tower stone handcuffs + three Deputy Hailou stone handcuffs.
However, while enjoying these benefits, Aoun also paid a small price - the Sea Tower Stone inlay technology cannot be leaked to anyone. In addition, he must unconditionally support the Seraph project at any time, and when necessary At that time, he became a lobbyist for the World Government, helping them persuade other Shichibukai to hand over their blood.
These costs are not painful to Ornn.
He uses the technology of sea floor stone inlay for his own use. As for being the lobbyist of the World Government, he has no burden at all.
For someone like Doflamingo who already has a grudge against Orn, the World Government will naturally not let him come forward.
As for the rebellious people like the Empress and Hawkeye, the World Government probably knows this and will not embarrass Ornn.
As for the last remaining Jinbei and Moria, these two are easy to deal with. Orn and Jinbe have a relationship once. The reason why they were able to enter the West Sea from the New World was because of each other's kindness.
Not to mention Moria, a defeated general. Orn asked him to directly draw a tube of blood and give it to the World Government, but he couldn't even say no.
And as long as he helps the World Government capture these two people, the task of lobbying will naturally be completed.
"Yeah, you're the best."
Yamato smiled stupidly and took one of Orn's arms, and then suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, you asked the World Government for low-purity sea floor stone handcuffs. Do you want to exercise your body like I did in the past?"
"That's right," Aoun rubbed Yamato's hair:
“Now that I think about it, it’s actually a very useful way to practice, isn’t it?
Next, we will all wear those handcuffs and adapt to it for about a year. Once we can adapt to the power of low-purity sea floor stone, everyone's strength will surely make a qualitative leap, and we will be able to take advantage of the situation to go to the new country. The world! "
Unlike Yamato, who lacks understanding of the world government, Robin is obviously more worried:
"But is it really a good thing to give your blood to the World Government? I always feel that they might use your blood to study some very scary things."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter."
Aoun took Robin into his arms and comforted him softly:
"Not to mention whether they can use my blood to research something, even if they can, the imitation is destined to be no match for me."
Aoun's confidence obviously infected Robin, so she no longer struggled with this issue and just quietly enjoyed the warmth that made her feel extremely at ease.
"I'm talking about Captain," Rhea obviously couldn't accept such a scene, so he stood up desperately:
"Should we go to Shampoo Land next?"
Aoun glared at her with some dissatisfaction. After all, he didn't care about the other party. He just looked at Urki and said:
"Take the helm, Ulki, we should prepare for landing."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
This trip to Sabaody will not only replenish a large amount of wine iron ore to fill his own inventory, but also a large number of supplies from the World Government will be delivered.
With these things and Rayleigh's guidance, they can find a place to live in peace and stability for a year. When they come out again, their Orn Pirates will surely be completely renewed.
…………
About an hour later, the Luxiang finally docked at the shore of the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Uh... Is this the Sabaody Archipelago?"
After landing, Leia looked at the empty dock full of burnt marks without a single figure, and couldn't help but whispered:
"Although there are indeed a lot of bubbles, it is too different from what I imagined."
"It wasn't like this before." Yamato also looked a little sad at this time.
She clearly remembered the envy she felt when she first came to Sabaody from the New World and looked at the busy streets from afar.
She was seasick and Orn insisted on not letting them stay in Shampoo for a long time, so she was sulking for a long time.
"Yes." Lola also spoke at this time:
"When I came here a few months ago, it was very lively, with tourists and nobles everywhere. Although there was also darkness hidden in the hustle and bustle, it was still a very desirable island overall... I never thought it would become like this now."
"Because it's a dock."
Orn explained at the right time:
"The garrisoned vice admiral has died, a large number of people are trying to leave, and there are pirates who want to plunder here, so it will naturally look a little dilapidated. When we get to the island, the situation should be much better."
Robin also nodded in affirmation:
"Yes, as Orn said, the situation on the island will definitely be much better than here, especially It is the block 30-60, which is the core area of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The navy must be concentrating on protecting those areas, so the scenery there should be much better. ”
Speaking of this, Robin thought for a while and asked Orn:
“It’s not too early, should we find a place to stay first? Or should we go find the ‘Pluto’ first?”
Orn thought for a while and responded:
“Let’s go find Rayleigh first. If we are lucky, we may be able to stay directly at his place.”
Orn remembered that in the anime, Aunt Xia opened a rip-off bar in Sabaody. After Rayleigh gambled away all his money, he would often go back to the bar to rest. Therefore, it should not be wrong to go to Aunt Xia’s rip-off bar first.
Thinking in this way, Orn led the team to the direction of 1-30. It was easy to distinguish these partitions, because Ace and Doro burned down the entire area of 20-25, so they just had to look for it along the messy area...
