Chapter 17: End of Transaction
Perhaps because of what Mio said, Warwick would plunge into the sea from time to time in the following days, wandering around the depths of the sea, in order to find treasures and gold coins.
Three days later.
The waters near Karakuri Island, the island where the Future Country Baldimore is located.
The sky was gloomy, and soon after the clouds gathered, there was a torrential downpour, and a ship on the sea began to sway along with the waves.
Standing on the deck, Mio waved the sword in his hand, and when he slashed out, he burst out with a black sword aura.
The colors of sword auras of most people are different, and pure black sword auras like Mio are even rarer.
Seeing that the sword energy dissipated in the air not long after it was cut out, Mio once again swung his sword out, and another sword aura slashed out, landing on the sea not far away, causing layers of waves.
Seeing this, Mio couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, showing a satisfied smile. "Finally, the Master's sword aura is complete."
Although the previous Mio was able to display sword aura, he was not proficient. He relied more on his own speed and strength to conduct strong crushing battles, but fortunately, because of the ability of 'Sword', Mio is progressing fast on the path of sword.
Coupled with daily duels with Erica, Mio's swordsmanship proficiency has increased rapidly.
By now, Mio could say unceremoniously that he was already a swordsman.
Of course, the distance from Erica is also very far.
But Mio is only a beginner Swordsman. If he wants to become a Master Swordsman, he has to at leat be able to cut steel.
The so-called cutting steel is not as simple as cutting steel.
This is just an adjective.
Real steel cutting is a realm, a kind of comprehension.
The current Mio didn't realize it, but Erica did, but this understanding can't be taught by words and deeds, only on one's own.
Fortunately, Mio is not in a hurry, there is still a lot of time for him.
Putting away the weapon, Mio returned to the cabin, and Erica suddenly walked over with a towel, raised her hands and handed the towel to Mio's body.
"Really good." After taking the towel and wiping the rain off her body, Mio couldn't help rubbing Erica's head.
Under Erica's happy gaze, he came to the table and sat down, then opened the map to take a look at her location, and whispered softly, "I am finally here, I hope Vegapunk is still on Karakuri Island."
The area of Karakuri Island is not small, and it harbors not only the Future Country Baldimore, but also the Kingdom of Meg.
Like other kingdoms in North Blue, there will be wars between the two kingdoms, but there are not many, and most of them are small frictions.
But for now, this kind of small friction will sooner or later evolve into war.
This kind of thing is very common in North Blue, and the Djerma family has earned an unknown amount of Berry by making war fortune.
The same is true for the Donquixote family.
At this moment.
Blue blue.
On the table, a phone suddenly screamed.
Mio raised his eyebrows and immediately picked up the phone to connect. Doflamingo's voice came from the phone .
"Hey, my dear friend, I think you should know what news I brought you."
"Of course." Mio lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled. "It looks like it will obviously be good news."
"Of course." Doflamingo smiled evilly. "But I hope your information will not disappoint me later."
"Of course, I think this news will make you feel excited." Mio replied with reluctance, and then said, "Well, what I should tell you I will naturally tell you, provided that you have the information I want to know, let's talk about it."
"Hey, hey, that's what I said."
Doflamingo chuckled and said slowly, "The person you are looking for, Vegapunk's location has already been determined.
He is still on the Karakuri island, in the capital of the Meg Kingdom.
It seems that the person you are looking for has made a deal with the king of the Meg Kingdom.
He is helping Meg Kingdom develop weapons."
Mio asked with a gleam in her eyes, "Is there a specific location?"
"Of course, but I don't think you need me to tell you, because you will find it there soon after you go. After all, according to the information I got, the place where the person you are looking for lives is protected by the kingdom of Meg. The army is on guard."
"Well, it looks like you really don't need to tell me."
Hearing this, Mio nodded slightly.
There is no information in the original work that Vegapunk and the Meg Kingdom had a deal, but it doesn't matter now.
"But I didn't expect that Vegapunk would actually help Meg Kingdom develop weapons..." Mio thought in his heart, maybe he could consider seeing if he could get this kind of weapon into his own hands.
After all...
The weapon developed by Vegapunk, a talent with five hundred years of leading technology in the world, is not a simple weapon, right?
While Mio was thinking, Doflamingo's voice came again, "Hey, my dear friend, it's time for you to tell me that interesting information."
"Of course, you want to know that I will tell you naturally." Miao smiled slightly. "But I have two pieces of news here. One is related to your Donquixote family. Well, let me think about it. To be precise, it is news related to you."
"The other one is news of a permanent pointer to Laughtale."
When he said the second news, Mio's tone was flat. It was obviously an extremely shocking news, but it seemed a little weird to say it in such a flat tone.
In fact, Mio was very clear.
Doflamingo would not choose to know this.
And the reason why Mio chose to tell this news is to let Doflamingo know the authenticity of his information.
Although he may doubt it now, he will believe it when he tells Doflamingo the information he wants and waits for him to confirm it.
At that time, he would be willing to pay a greater price to come to himself in exchange for information.
Of course, that said.
Doflamingo was still in shock, as could be seen from the silence on the phone.
Heavy breathing came from the phone, and after a long time, Doflamingo's voice rang again, "Fu Fu Fu Fu Fu, it is really shocking, then please tell me and me about the news first."
He was indeed shocked.
But he wouldn't say anything to doubt.
He did not even ask.
Doflamingo is not an idiot. Because of his identity, he knows more about the things and taboos in the world government, and he also knows how terrifying the power of the world government is.
And Laughtale is undoubtedly one of the taboos of the World government.
Even if it's just a piece of news, Doflamingo doesn't want to know that. Now he is not the one who possessed a certain strength and power when the plot begins decades later, now he is just gaining a foothold in North Blue.
One carelessness can lead to the loss of everything.
In addition, he also knows how terrible the intelligence network of the World government is, so even if he is very excited about Laughtale's permanent pointer, Doflamingo will not choose this news.
It's useless to say to him now, and it will make people feel flustered.
It may even bring death to oneself.
Once you touch the taboo of the World government, those five old guys don't care if you are a Celestial Dragon, let alone a former Celestial Dragon.
Doflamingo knew this very well in his heart.
Hearing this, Mio said directly, "Doflamingo, there is a Marine undercover in your family, and it still holds a high position in your Donquixote family."
The voice fell.
The phone was silent again.
Cold light appeared in Doflamingo's eyes in the dimly lit room, and there was no answer.
After a while, he grinned and smiled? "Fu Fu Fu Fu Fu, really good intelligence, then tell me the specific identity?"
"I'm really sorry, but I can't."
"But I don't think it is necessary for you, right?"
"That's right, it's really...no need...hehehehe..."
"This is the end of the transaction. I hope we can have another transaction."
"I think so, then goodbye, my dear friend, eh, eh."
The phone was hung up.
In the room, Doflamingo gently shook the goblet with red wine in his hand, and his eyes under the glasses narrowed slightly.
At the next moment, coldness appeared in his eyes, with a'click', the goblet in his hand was crushed directly by Doflamingo, and the glass shards fell on the ground. It can be seen that his mood is not too good for now...
