I Became the Strongest Villain in One Piece

Chapter 20: SVOP: Chapter 20

Being said that by him, the Empress was a little embarrassed, of course, only a little.

”This time I’m going out to sea mainly to find a Devil Fruit.” She said in a low voice, ”The previous one was eaten by you, so this time I need you to contribute.”

”Okay.”

Vladimir casually agreed. Anyway, he would return to normal in one night, and he didn’t plan to dawdle with the Empress. He would just slip away at that time.

He agreed so readily that the Empress was caught off guard. In fact, she had already thought of several ways to persuade him.

”In that case, Shakuyaku, inform the whole ship to prepare to set sail!”

After the two reached an agreement, Vladimir went to his room to rest.

Amidst the cheers, the pirate ship sailed out of the water gate and headed towards the Grand Line.

With two swimming snakes pulling the ship, the ship’s speed was naturally very fast.

A few hours later, they had left the Calm Belt and entered the Grand Line.

At this moment, a crew member walked into the captain’s room, holding a stack of wanted posters in his hand, and reported to the Empress.

”Empress-sama, this was dropped by a seagull raised by the Navy.” The crew member said, ”It’s the latest issue of wanted posters.”

”Bring it to me.”

The Empress took the thick stack of wanted posters and flipped through them casually.

Some of these wanted posters were updates to the reward amount, and some were newly added bounties.

As she flipped through them, the Empress suddenly stopped. She saw a very strange wanted poster.

There was no photo on it, only a big question mark. Below was the name and other information.

Shadow Fiend.

Phantom Pirates.

Bounty: 500,000,000!

Dead or Alive!

Seeing this name, the Empress was shocked, and a trace of shock appeared in her beautiful eyes.

”H-how is this possible...”

500 million bounty!

The Empress looked at the wanted poster in her hand, her mind was greatly shaken.

Shadow Fiend, she had only seen him for the first time last night. He was a mysterious figure shrouded in darkness.

She had never heard of him before, let alone a wanted poster issued by the pirates.

”A bounty of 500 million in one go?!” The Empress was a little incredulous. ”What exactly did he do...”

You should know that the Empress herself’s first time being wanted, the bounty was only 80 million, and this number has not changed to this day.

She had a vague guess in her heart, but the Empress couldn’t believe it.

”Could it be that he has already... killed that Celestial Dragon?”

Opening her small, rosy mouth, the Empress couldn’t speak for a long time.

This guess was really too unreal. The target was only locked last night, and the assassination mission was completed by noon today?

Traveling from Amazon Lily Island to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, even the fastest ship would take about 5 days!

”Rest assured, I kill those trash Celestial Dragons like slaughtering pigs and dogs!”

The words Shadow Fiend said echoed in her heart, and the Empress couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The other party really wasn’t bragging!

”Phantom Pirates? What a terrifying organization. They kill Celestial Dragons as they please, complete the assassination mission in one day, and the assassin Shadow Fiend is not even a member among them...”

Apart from assassinating a Celestial Dragon, the Empress couldn’t think of what kind of heinous crime he could have committed, that the Navy would give such a high bounty in one go.

There were not a few great pirates in the world with bounties exceeding 500 million, but those were all added bit by bit from zero. It was the first time she had heard of one like Shadow Fiend, whose bounty was directly 500 million!

”Should I ask the sea dragon?” Suddenly, the Empress had a strong curiosity, ”The Phantom Pirates, he must be a member of it, maybe even a member!”

This idea was quickly erased by the Empress. She didn’t want to take the initiative to ask the sea dragon, even if the other party was the Guardian Deity.

Shaking her head, the Empress put the wanted poster aside and softly ordered, ”Treat the Guardian Deity well.”

”Yes, Empress-sama!”

...

Vladimir was staying in his room, doing physical exercises.

Although he now had the ability to transform, his body was that of an ordinary person. The ability users in this world were very strange, and he might get caught, so strengthening his own training was essential.

A hundred push-ups, a hundred pull-ups, fifty squats...

After working out for half an hour, Vladimir was already covered in sweat.

”This kind of training is too inefficient. Should I find someone to teach me? At least learn some body techniques, Navy Rokushiki, and Haki.”

Vladimir seriously considered this question, but for the time being, he didn’t have the conditions.

In the Grand Line, there were many Devil Fruit ability users, but true body technique experts were relatively rare.

”Hmm... I’ll train myself first, and consider this issue after I’m done with this period.”

Thinking of this, Vladimir made a training plan for himself. Although the efficiency was low, it was better than nothing.

The Kuja Pirates were sailing in the Grand Line, flying the pirate flag. Any ships they saw would avoid them from afar.

Vladimir noticed this in the afternoon.

The Empress seemed to be uninterested in some small merchant ships and even lacked the interest in attacking.

All day long, the pirate ship was cruising in a specific sea area, seemingly preparing to wait for the rabbit.
