Chapter 269: Transaction (3rd Update)

Rhodes and others stayed in Elbaf for ten days.

Originally, there were three giants who intended to join Hairing, but when Hairing told him that the next goal was to deal with BIGMOM Charlotte Lingling, five more giants were added in an instant.

The number of giants is not large, and eight giants are already equivalent to the strength of an army.

Of course.

The giants who do not have the ability of the Devil Fruit are also limited in their strength, among which the more elite Yura and Xin Zhuo have the strength to deal with the ordinary cadres of the Don Quixote family, and the rest are inferior.

In fact, this time Hairing already has the prestige of becoming the leader of the giant clan, and it would not hurt to draw more giant combat power in this situation, but Rhodes felt that eight was almost enough.

You may not be able to find eight suitable Devil Fruits in the future.

"Then there's a shortage of Devil Fruits."

On the deck, after thinking for a while, Rhodes said to Lafitte: "The heart of the Celestial Dragon people, you pinch it twice every once in a while, and when the people from the government contact you, you will say that you want to get the heart back and exchange it for the Devil Fruit." ”

The hearts of the Celestial Dragons are useless, and if they can exchange for a few Devil Fruits, they will be able to exert the last residual heat.

"Ho ho ho, understood."

With an evil smile on her face, Lafitte nodded, and walked into the cabin.

Three days after leaving Elbaf, the World Government dialed 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 deep voice of the five old stars came.

The Ghost Hand Pirates weren't so bored that they were playing with Musgarud's heart for two or three days in a row, and there must be some plan to do so, which was easy to guess.

But guessing and guessing, there is nothing they can do, it is impossible to give up Musgarud casually, even if they think that the last call with Rhodes was very unpleasant, they have to choose to contact again, and the tone is very reluctant.

"Ho ho ho ho ...... The captain said that if you want to get this heart back, trade it for Devil Fruits. Lafitte held the phone bug and said with a wicked smile on her face.

“……”

The five old stars were silent on the other side.

It's not because Rhodes wants a Devil Fruit, but because Rhodes actually asked a subordinate to talk to them, what did he think of them?!

"Who are you, Ghost Hand?"

One of the five old stars still suppressed his anger and asked.

Lafitte grinned and said, "Nobody, I guess it can't get into your ears yet, as for our captain, he went to take a bath." ”

Darn!

A five-old star slapped the table, almost unable to control his emotions.

"Intelligence says they went to Elbaf."

One of the five old stars said with a cold face, "It may be that a new Giant Clan crew was recruited in Elbaf, so the Devil Fruit is needed to continue building the Giant Legion." ”

"Damn."

"Giants with a Brain ......"

A fifth old star next to him showed a hint of anger in his eyes.

They want to simply destroy Elbaf, but there are many giant lieutenant generals in the navy, and there are also giant clans within the world government.

The five of them temporarily hung up the phone bug and started talking to each other.

Devil fruits are not very precious to the world government, and some Draconians even take them to play with casually, but if they fall into the hands of Rhodes, it will be completely different.

The terrifying combat power of the Giant Legion shocked the world, and now the whole world knew how strong the Giant Clan was that the Giant Clan that ate the Devil Fruit had.

Ultimately.

The five old stars still made a decision.

"Have you made a decision?"

Lafitte stood leaning against the wall for a long time, he knew that the five old stars were discussing, but he was not in a hurry, and asked with a slight smile after a while.

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 you don't get it, there is nothing to lose.

“……”

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:

"Yes."

"Very good, then let's discuss the issue of quantity again, as a world government, there should be a lot of Devil Fruits, right? I believe that you won't care about ten or eight, ho ho. ”

"Don't be whimsical."

One of the Five Elders spoke in a deep voice, "Your identity is a pirate, and the price of fueling your power is very high, at most I can trade with you for a Devil Fruit. ”

Lafitte smiled and said, "Then our captain will probably be very dissatisfied, and maybe he will do something immoral." ”

"Are you threatening us?"

The five old stars opened their mouths coldly.

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm just reminding...... Of course, our captain is kind-hearted and doesn't like to kill people, and a Devil Fruit is fine, but it must be natural. ”

"Impossible!"

A five-old star immediately dismissed.

Everyone knows the value of the natural type Devil Fruit, even if it is a relatively weak natural type, it is an almost invincible ability for people who are not domineering.

"If it's a superhuman Devil Fruit, then at least two, and an animal Devil Fruit will need three, how to trade, you weigh it yourself, it's up to you whether to trade or not."

Lafitte smiled, and after saying the last sentence, hung up the phone bug.

Rhodes was standing across from him, with his back against the wall, his hands folded on his chest, and when he saw Lafitte hang up the phone, he said, "That's a good point." ”

Let Lafitte go to talk to the five old stars, on the one hand, he is too lazy to communicate with the five old stars, on the other hand, the five old stars are just the power core of the government on the surface, and there are other existences above the five people.

Subordinate to subordinate, this is very reasonable.

Lafitte smiled and said, "I don't know if the government will agree." ”

"Who knows?"

Rhodes said indifferently: "Even if you agree, the government can't obediently send out the devil fruit." ”

After a while.

The phone from the World Government side dialed again, but this time it was not from the Five Old Stars, but a government official, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Lord Five Elders have agreed to trade for a Nature-based Devil Fruit, but we need to specify the location of the transaction."

"Ho ho ho ho ...... If you specify the place of trading, if it is designated in Mary Joya or the Navy Headquarters, then I am afraid it will not be a transaction, but a siege. ”

Lafitte opened his mouth with a slight mockery on his face.

The government official said in a deep voice: "It will not be designated by Mary Joya and the Navy Headquarters, but it is impossible for you to designate the place, don't forget that you are pirates, and you are the most untrustworthy." ”

Lafitte held down 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 paraphrased Rhodes's meaning.

The government officials over there fell silent and did not respond for a long time, as if they had asked for the opinions of the five old stars, and finally gave an answer after a few minutes.

"Yes."
