Chapter 269 Transaction
Rhodes and others stayed in Elbav for ten days.
Originally, three giants intended to join Helding, and when Helding told his next goal was to deal with bigmom Charlotte Lingling, five more giants were instantly added.
The number of giants is not large, and the eight giants are already equivalent to the force of an army.
certainly.
The giants without the ability of the devil fruit are also limited in strength. Among them, Yula and Xinzhuo, the more elite, have the strength to deal with ordinary cadres of the Don Quixote family, while the rest are inferior.
In fact, Helding has already gained the reputation of becoming the leader of the giants this time, so it would be okay to draw more giant combat power in this case, but Rhodes felt that the eight were almost the same.
You may not be able to find eight suitable devil fruits in the future.
"The devil fruit is scarce next."
On the deck, Roz thought for a moment and said to Lafitte: "You pinch the heart of the Tianlong people twice a day. When the government contacts people, they say they want to get the heart back and exchange it for the devil fruit."
The heart of the Tianlong people is no longer useful. If they can be exchanged for a few devil fruits, they will be able to exert the final residual heat.
"Hohohohoho, understand."
Lafitte showed an evil smile on his face, nodded and walked into the cabin.
Three days after leaving Elbav, the world government called the phone bug carried by the CP0 team leader and contacted Lafitte.
"What do you want?"
On the other side of the phone bug, the low voice of the Five Old Stars came.
The Ghost Hand Pirates will not be so bored that they hold Musgarud's heart for two or three consecutive days. They must have some plans to do so, which is easy to guess.
But no matter how much they guessed, they had no choice but to give up Musgarud casually. Even though they thought that the last call with Rhodes was very unpleasant, they had to choose to contact each other again, and their tone was very reluctant.
"Hohoho... The captain said, if you want to get this heart back, you can trade it with the devil fruit." Lafitte spoke with a wicked smile on his face.
“…”
The five old stars are silent on the other side.
It’s not because Rhodes wants the devil fruit, but because Rhodes actually asked a subordinate to talk to them. What did he think of them as?!
"Who are you, where are the ghost hands?"
One of the five old stars still suppressed his anger and asked.
Lafitte grinned and said, "The unknown man must not be able to enter your ears. As for our captain, he went to take a shower."
Bastard!
A five-old star slapped the table with a slap, almost unable to control his emotions.
"Information says they went to Elbav."
A five-old star said with a cold face: "Maybe he recruited new giant crew members in Elbav, so he needed the devil fruit to continue to build the giant corps."
"hateful."
"The giants with a stubborn mind..."
Anger appeared in the eyes of a five-old star next to him.
They wanted to destroy Elbaf simply, but there were many giant lieutenant generals in the navy, and there were also giant combat power within the world government. To destroy Elbaf, these combat powers that originally belonged to them would definitely reverse the situation, and they would not have any impact on Rhodes, which was equivalent to killing himself.
The five people temporarily hung up the phone bug and started talking to each other.
Demon fruit is not precious to the world government. Some celestial dragons even use it for fun, but if it falls into the hands of Rhodes, it will be completely different.
The terrifying combat power of the Giant Corps is famous in the world. Now the whole world knows how powerful the giants who have eaten the devil fruits have.
final.
The five old stars still made a decision.
“Have you made a decision?”
Lafitte stood leisurely against the wall. He knew that the Five Old Stars were discussing, but he was not in a hurry. After a moment, he asked with a smile.
Trading with the government is a dangerous thing, so Rhodes' attitude is that it is naturally good to get it, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't get it, and there is no loss.
“…”
The five old stars have not been urged for a long time, but they can only suppress their anger at this time.
One of them said in a deep voice:
"Can."
"Very good, let's discuss the number issue again. As the world government, there should be many demon fruits? I believe you won't care about ten or eight, hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho
"Other whimsical."
A five-old star spoke in a deep voice, "Your identity is a pirate, and it is very expensive to encourage your power. At most, you can trade a devil fruit with you."
Lafitte smiled and said, "Then our captain will probably be very dissatisfied. Maybe he will do something immoral."
"Are you threatening us?"
The five old stars opened their mouths coldly.
Lafitte said: "No, don't get me wrong, I'm just reminding me... Of course, our captain is kind-hearted and doesn't like to make human lives. A devil fruit can be done, but it must be of nature."
"impossible!"
A five-old star immediately rejected it.
Everyone knows the value of the natural devil fruit. Even the relatively weak natural system is almost invincible for people who cannot be domineering.
"If it is a Superman-type devil fruit, you need at least two, and three animals. You should weigh the trades yourself. Whether you want to trade depends on you."
Lafitte smiled and after saying the last sentence, he hung up the phone bug.
Rhodes was standing opposite him, standing against the wall, folding his hands on his chest, seeing Lafitte hung up the phone, and said, "It's a good talk."
Let Lafitte talk to the Five Old Stars, on the one hand, because he was too lazy to communicate with the Five Old Stars anymore. On the other hand, the Five Old Stars are just the core of power in the government, and there are other existences above the Five.
It is very reasonable for subordinates to subordinates.
Lafitte smiled and said, "I don't know if the government will agree."
"Who knows?"
Rhodes said without caring: "Even if you agree, the government will not be able to send out the devil fruits obediently."
After a while.
The phone number from the world government came again, but this time it was not called by the Five Old Stars, but a government official, who spoke in a deep voice.
"The Five Old Stars agreed to trade with a natural devil fruit, but the trading location needs to be specified."
"Hohoho... If you specify a trading location, if you specify it in Marychoa or the Navy headquarters, it may not be a transaction, but a siege."
Lafitte spoke with a slight sarcastic expression on his face.
The government official said in a deep voice: "I will not designate Marychoa and the Navy headquarters, but it is impossible for you to designate the location. Don't forget that you are pirates and are the most unreliable."
Lafitte held the phone bug and turned to look at Rhodes.
Rhodes said calmly: "Tell them that at most, let them specify the sea area, and the specific island will be determined by us."
Lafitte recounted the meaning of Rhodes.
The government officials there fell silent and did not respond for a long time. They seemed to be asking for the five old stars' opinions. They finally gave a reply a few minutes later.
Chapter completed!
