Chapter 192 What’s the Price? Teach!

"Hawkeye is really dishonest. Marshal of the Warring States Period. You just sanctioned a Shichibukai and he gave you a blow. You really don't take the marshal seriously. I can't bear it!!"

Xiao looked at the stiff-faced Warring States and immediately covered his mouth and snickered. He didn't expect Hawkeye to be so tough and not give him any face.

"Hurry up and get busy with what you should be busy with! It's not your turn to interfere in this kind of thing!"

Warring States suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold tone.

Originally, he hoped to use Hancock's influence to make the Shichibukai who were not working hard to become as serious as Blackbeard, but he did not expect that it aroused the dissatisfaction of the Shichibukai.

However, despite Xiao's provocation, Sengoku did not punish Hawkeye for it.

The reason is simple. The current navy urgently needs the power of strong men like them.

What's more, whether it was due to an illusion or not, since the appearance of Straw Hat Luffy and his team, the Whitebeard Pirates seemed to have suddenly been injected with an invisible force.

The momentum of the Whitebeard Pirates has become more and more powerful, coupled with the internal strife in the Shichibukai just now, which has led to low morale on the navy side.

The Whitebeard Pirates reversed the originally decadent situation in one fell swoop, which made them become more courageous and even began to attack Gangwan.

Those naval soldiers who had greatly increased their strength by taking natural-type artificial devil fruits have now fallen under the attack of armed Haki.

In the final analysis, they are just grassroots personnel in the navy. Even if they have powerful Devil Fruit abilities, they are still far apart in terms of actual combat experience and skills.

Because of this, Sengoku eagerly hoped that Xiao could create more artificial natural ability users to provide more assistance to the navy.

"You want me to do something? You really want to do it for nothing. I value money but not people. For an artificial Devil Fruit, the Navy will give me 10 million beli. Whether it succeeds or not, the Navy will pay me. One penny less. I will never let you go!"

As he spoke, Xiao tossed a new artificial Devil Fruit in his hand, and the Touch of Darkness casually pulled out an unlucky marine who almost lost it, and forced it into his mouth, allowing him to successfully obtain the power of thunder and fire.

"Huh~~, the navy won't miss your three melons and two dates. Go quickly. The more you make, the more I will give you??"

Warring States frowned, calculated, and felt that although the price was a bit expensive, it was still reasonable, so he agreed to Xiao's deal.

Xiao continued to search for unlucky individuals in the war to conduct experiments. One out of ten would always succeed in gaining power, and the number of strong men on the navy side grew more and more.

But Xiao's actions aroused dissatisfaction among the other Shichibukai. They were already aggrieved by the threat from the Warring States Marshal.

Now there is a curly dog ​​who is desperately trying to lose his presence and express himself in front of the boss. No one else can stand it.

After all, originally everyone was just lying down, paddling in the water, and just trying to get by, but then you were working hard there, so why don't you get involved with me?

You are the only one who knows how to work, and you are the only one who is hardworking and capable, right?

This is probably what the rest of the Shichibukai really think.

Therefore, after being urged by the Warring States Period, although the Shichibukai all stepped up their work,

But the large-scale atmospheric attack they were releasing began to more or less affect the navy and Xiao.

"Thieves hahaha, they are all good people!"

Faced with this situation, Xiao not only did not get angry at all, but also went all out to save the affected navy.

This move won the admiration and praise of many navies.

Although the navy is often jokingly called the lackeys of the Celestial Dragons, in fact, apart from matters involving the Celestial Dragons, most of the navy uphold the concepts of justice and honor deep down, and regard punishing evil and promoting good as their own mission.

In order to maintain the justice and order of the world, they will never take shelter. When they can fight, they will definitely fight for the first time.

They are brave and fearless, and they are all talented people, so of course Xiao is willing to win over the hearts and minds of these naval forces.

After all, this life-saving grace was enough to make these marines stand firmly by his side at critical moments.

If the time comes, Xiao even wants to separate an army exclusively for him from within the navy, and use it as a springboard to control the power of the world government.

Paji——

However, as Xiao continued to shuttle through the battlefield, looking for marines suitable for eating artificial devil fruits, suddenly, a blood-stained figure fell at his feet.

This person was the Ghost Spider Lieutenant General who had been chasing Marco earlier. At this time, his face was bruised and swollen, and most of his hair was burned off. He had long lost his former majestic appearance.

"Brother, you can't do this. Marco can beat you even with handcuffs~"

Xiao silently helped up the beaten Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, pointed at Marco who was back to being a phoenix in the distance and complained to him.

"I was careless and didn't dodge. I was attacked by Marco and had to unlock the sea-floor stone handcuffs!"

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider blushed, and explained righteously that he would never admit that he was inferior, just because he did not have a powerful Devil Fruit.

Originally, he had been suppressing Marco and beating him, but after losing the suppression of Hailoushi and regaining his ability, Marco hung him up and beat him.

"Forget it, you need to explain. I know you lack a powerful Devil Fruit. Do you want to try this one: Artificial Animal Devil Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Fish Fruit·Blue Dragon Fruit!"

Xiao didn't want to listen to Ghost Spider's harsh words, but took out an artificial pink scaly Devil Fruit from his arms and whispered seductively to Ghost Spider.

"Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit?? Is it the Blue Dragon I know?"

Ghost Spider swallowed his saliva and asked Xiao in disbelief, the owner of this devil fruit is the ability of one of the four emperors: Kaido of the Beast.

Relying on this Devil Fruit, Kaido the Beast has become the most powerful creature in the sea, land and air. There is almost no way in the world to kill him.

Kaido was defeated 7 times, was arrested 18 times when he challenged the navy and the four emperors alone, was tortured more than a thousand times, and was sentenced to death a full 40 times, but in the end he escaped intact.

"It's what you thought. Moreover, this Devil Fruit is the most perfect creation. Except for the color of Kaido's dragon, there is no difference in other abilities!"

Xiao's voice was like a devil's whisper, constantly bewitching the ghost spider's heart.

"Eat, Ghost Spider, this is your destiny, only in this way can you defeat Marco!"

As if he saw the hesitation in Ghost Spider's heart, Xiao urged again.

"What's the price, Teach?"

Ghost Spider asked with great tangle in his heart.
