10,000 meters in the air.

The terrifying three-masted ship hovered over a cloud of clouds, and from a distance, it looked like an empty island built on clouds.

Maud held the blue and white navy standard telephone bug left behind by the pheasant and sat casually on the balcony of the room.

The cold wind blew his clothes and hair, and the angular side face exuded a charm that made people unable to take their eyes off it for a while.

Not far from him was a crew led by Lafayette.

Even Urki, who woke up, and Hawkins, who was officially put into his command recently, are also there.

As newcomers to the group, Urki and Hawkins are both looking at the phone bugs in Maude's hands with different colors.

On the other side of this phone bug, it is aimed at the supreme commander of the navy - the Warring States of Buddha.

"Hijacking the Draconians ......"

After coming into contact with the final plan, these two men who broke into the public eye as supernovas only imagined the consequences for a moment, and they felt a chill on their backs.

And the man they were watching was breezy and calm.

It seems that what you are going to do later, as sparse and ordinary as eating and drinking.

The phone bug in Maude's hand slowly changed to the image of the Warring States.

Through the demeanor of the phone bug, you can observe the expression of the caller in real time.

And at this moment, the phone bug, which shows the image of several warring states, is calm.

"Bacardi. Hammond. ”

In the face of Maude's sarcastic opening remarks, Sengoku was not affected at all, both on the face and in the heart.

"If it's you, even if you don't have to explain it, you should be able to guess the reason why we attacked the Heart Pirates."

The phone worm opened his mouth, and there was a rather vague statement from the Warring States, which seemed to be a little suspicious of clichés.

Maud tilted her head slightly, looking at the ground below the balcony.

It is as if you can pass through the land and 10,000 meters away to see Mary Joa, the holy land standing on the top of the Red Earth Continent.

"I can't guess, I'll take the trouble to explain."

“……”

There was a pause for a second or two on the phone bug's side, and then a voice came out.

"At present, all 16 members of the Hearts Pirates are imprisoned on the third floor of Advance City......"

Hearing the inaccurate number reported by Sengoku, and not waiting for Maude to respond, the faces of Luo and another Hearts Pirate crew member who was in charge of guarding the submarine suddenly changed.

"No, the people you took away were 17!"

Luo immediately questioned loudly, for fear of hearing from Sengoku that a member of the team had died in battle.

Maude looked at Law, whose eyes became agitated, and could see that Luo attached great importance to the companions of the Heart Pirates.

Luo's questioning made the Warring States on the other side of the phone bug pause again.

"Including 'pets', it's 17 members."

“……”

Luo's face stiffened slightly, and Beibo's naïve attitude flashed directly in his mind, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In short, it's good that everyone is safe and sound.

"Trafalgar. Luo, since you're also around? Then I'll get straight to the point. ”

Sengoku when he said Luo's name? There was a hint of strangeness in his tone, but in an instant he returned to a tone that was as calm as if he were not emotional.

"Do a 'swap', right? Trade a hundred 'Living Hearts' for your crew. ”

The word "exchange" is used in rhetoric? Rather than the word "deal", perhaps it is the last fig leaf that the Navy hangs on itself.

"Huh?"

Hear the content of the exchange proposed by Sengoku? Luo's eyes condensed slightly, and he didn't grab words again? Instead, he looked at Maude, who had a calm face.

Is it really as Maud guessed? The Navy's motive for not hesitating to take the initiative to make trouble during the post-war recovery period was to get a living heart from him.

It's just that

What does the Navy want this kind of thing for?

In Luo's view, the living heart is at most just used to restrain the heart owner? Besides? Without the ability to perform surgery, even a heart transplant could not be done.

If the Navy does not have requirements for heart goals......

Then, if you just defeat a weak pirate group, you can easily get the 100 living hearts that the navy wants.

In less than a second, Luo is thinking about it? But there are some deals that tend to cooperate with the Navy.

Compared to taking the Draconians hostage, take a hundred living hearts to exchange them for the crew? Not only is the difficulty low, but even the risk is almost negligible.

Thinking of this? As soon as Luo's lips moved, he was about to speak? saw Maude make a false palm push at him.

Luo Huiyi? I hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.

After stopping Law? Maude looked at the phone bug and said in a mocking tone, "Only a hundred living hearts? Is it enough? ”

"Enough."

Sengoku didn't care about Maude's ridicule in the slightest, and further confirmed his willingness to exchange content.

"Okay, let's agree, and we'll exchange a hundred 'living hearts' for the crew of the Hearts Pirates."

Maude could see that the Warring States did not enter the oil and salt, so he was too lazy to find an opportunity to continue to mock the Warring States, and should order the content of the deal unilaterally proposed by the navy.

"Okay, give you ten days, the place of exchange ......"

"Ten days? Enough, but ......"

Without waiting for Sengoku to finish speaking, Maude interrupted unceremoniously.

"The location of the transaction can only be determined by us, and I will call you after I have gathered the 'living heart' for specific matters."

"Yes, then ......"

"Be patient and wait for the call."

Maude interrupted Sengoku again, and hung up the phone bug directly.

And the last sentence he said was exactly what the pheasant said when he left the phone bug.

in the room.

Urki and Hawkins watched the conversation between Maud and the Admiral, and their expressions were extremely exciting.

Meanwhile.

Marshal's Office.

The pheasant's expression was a little strange, and while raising his finger and scratching his cheek, he took a closer look at the face of the Warring States.

Sengoku looked calm at the moment, and slowly hung up the phone bug.

As the supreme commander of the navy, he will not be provoked on such occasions, no matter what the other party's words and deeds are.

"The requirement of 100 hearts is something they can do at their fingertips, so ...... Under normal circumstances, anyone would readily agree and honestly cooperate to complete this exchange, but the other party is Bacardi. Maude ......"

Sengoku clasped his hands against his chin and looked at Karp, Tsuru, Pheasant, and Akainu in the audience.

"Just by saying the name, I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart."

"Don't worry, in this exchange, our needs are only a hundred hearts, and we will not show too much hostility, and naturally there will be no opportunity for the Maud Pirates to have an overreaction."

The crane's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said calmly.

Sengoku nodded slightly.

"That's not right."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the office door.

The Warring States and the others followed the prestige, but they saw three thin and tall people dressed in white and wearing strange masks.

“CP0……”

Warring States' eyes froze, and the identity of the person was revealed.

The leader took two steps forward, and his gaze under the mask slowly swept towards several of the top naval forces present.

"Please know that what we have to get is not a hundred hearts, but the fruit of surgery!"

"Huh?"
