In this series of events involved in order to get the [Living Heart].

After successfully arresting the crew of the Hearts Pirates, the Navy gained the initiative.

It is precisely because of this that CP0 will have the confidence of a lion's big mouth, and want to get more benefits from it than [Living Heart].

But

When Maud attacked the Holy Land and captured five Draconians.

The initiative changed hands on the spot, but it was firmly held in the hands of Maude, and he would not take the painless threats of the Warring States in his eyes.

"Let's stop talking nonsense."

Without waiting for the Sengoku side to respond, Maude went straight to business and continued: "The five Celestial Dragons exchange for the members of the Red Heart Pirates, and the place and time of the exchange are up to me, no opinion, right?" ”

"Yes."

Sengoku's eyes narrowed.

One second he was still thinking about how to put pressure on Maude, and the next second he agreed to Maude's proposal without hesitation.

frankly

With Maude holding five Draco chips, he didn't expect that Maude would give up the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price, and directly wanted to exchange five Draconians for the crew of the Hearts Pirates.

"What time? Where to exchange? ”

Afraid that Maude would regret it temporarily, Sengoku quickly asked.

"In two weeks, in the New World Thor Island, if you are a major general or above, don't come to the scene to join in the fun."

"Okay, but don't play tricks, Bacardi. Hammond. ”

"That's up to me, right? What are the virtues of the World Government and your Navy, do you want me to explain them one by one? ”

“……”

"Smack."

Maude hung up.

Sengoku took a deep breath and his face was gloomy.

With his position, there was no way to get the living heart that Dr. Vegapunk needed.

What can be done, what should be done.

It is to ensure that the five Celestial Dragons who were taken away by Maude can come back safely.

Warring States slowly put down the phone bug, raised his eyes to look at the three CP0 members in front of the desk, and said coldly: "Until now, are you still delusional about getting the 'surgical fruit'?" ”

“……”

The three CP0 members, whose faces had been violently swollen by Maude, could only be silent after hearing Sengoku's words.

Until this moment,

These members of the top spy agency, who are often engaged in dirty deeds, finally realized a fact-

Maude and the people they had dealt with in the past were not at all on the same level.

Just to seize the initiative, he directly attacked the Holy Land in a frenzy, and then kidnapped the Celestial Dragons.

This kind of thing is not something that normal people can do at all!

Research Office of the Scientific Corps of the Headquarters.

Sentomaru's injuries had almost recovered, and he came to the research room as usual.

"Dr. Vegapunk, I just got bad news from the old man."

Sentomaru walked into the research room that no one else could enter, and looked at Vegapunk who was standing in front of the workbench and fiddling with something.

Hearing Sentomaru's words, Vegapunk didn't stop what he was doing, and turned his back to Sentomaru and asked, "What's the bad news?" ”

"You want to use it to strengthen the 'living heart' of pacifists, but you probably can't get it."

"Really? It's a shame. ”

Vegapunk is busy with his hands suddenly? The tone was full of regret.

The absence of the Living Heart means that he will overturn the main direction he had designed to further enhance the power of pacifists.

"Dr. Vegapunk? We thought we would be able to get a hundred hearts. ”

Sentomaru came behind Vegapunk? frowned and said, "As a result, no one expected that Maude that guy ...... Rather raid the Holy Land? The kidnapping of the Tianlong people is not willing to honestly take out a hundred living hearts to make a transaction. ”

"You say Maud attacked the Holy Land? And kidnapped the Draconians? ”

A strange color flashed in Vegapunk's eyes? He looked back at Sentomaru.

"Yes! Dr. Vegapunk, you know what? Maude's gang, I don't know what method was used, less than a week after the death of the golden lion? I found the fluttering fruit of rebirth. ”

Sentomaru opens his hands? Gesturing with meaningless movements.

"Then they used the ability of the fluttering fruit to directly move an island and smash it down to the Holy Land, and it was precisely because of this that the Maude gang succeeded!"

“……”

Vegapunk heard this and put his thumb against his chin? The focus was not on what methods the Maude Pirates used to attack the Holy Land, and muttered to themselves:

"Once or twice can also be explained by 'luck'...... Maybe? Instead of 'finding' the reborn Devil Fruit, they have mastered the technique of 'keeping' the Devil Fruit 100%. ”

"Impossible."

Sentomaru was stunned for a moment? Na Na said: "Keep the Devil Fruit 100%, isn't this a problem that even you haven't been able to overcome until now?" Words from others? And how can it be done! ”

100% preservation of the Devil Fruit's technology? A long time ago? It is one of the projects that the World Government and Navy want Vegapunk to complete.

If you can master this technique, the navy will be able to directly purge the powerful prisoners who advance into the city, and then use the remaining Devil Fruits to strengthen your own faction.

It's a pity that even Vegapunk has been unable to figure out how to keep the Devil Fruit 100%.

In the process, he accidentally researched the technique of how to make the item eat the Devil Fruit.

Vegapunk didn't respond to Sentomaru's words, but leaned against his chin and fell into deep thought.

.........

Terror three-masted ship.

Maud sat in a chair, in front of a phone bug that had just closed its eyes.

Lafayette stood quietly behind Maude.

He looked at the phone bug that was hung up, and said softly: "For the world government and navy, the importance of the five Celestial Dragons, needless to say, just to 'exchange' Luo's crew, it is too cheap for them. ”

"That's right."

Maude raised his legs, straddled the table, and said lightly: "But at this stage, helping Luo rescue Beibo and them is more important than anything else, so the heavier the chips on our side, the more reasonable it is for the navy to play tricks." ”

"Ho ho ...... The truth is this, but it is inevitable that it will be a pity. ”

"Lafayette, you didn't know me for the first day."

"Huh?"

Lafayette looked at Maude's side face, a little surprised.

Maude turned her head to meet Lafayette's gaze and smiled, "I will return the Draconians to them, but I have not promised to 'return them in good condition'." ”

"Ho-ho."

Lafayette thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up with amusement.

"Maude, are you going to keep the heart of the Draconian? That's why he deliberately asked Luo to take out the heart of the Tianlong people before? ”

"No, taking out the heart of the Celestial Dragon is just an insurance."

Maude clenched her cheeks, her eyes indifferent.

"What I really want to leave behind is the 'shadow heart' of the Tianlong people."
