I Became the Strongest Villain in One Piece

Chapter 89: SVOP: Chapter 89

”Yes, Mama.”

A gentleman with very long legs slightly bent over, nodding to take the order.

”Hmph, Phantom...”

Observation Haki instantly enveloped the entire island, but Charlotte Linlin still couldn’t sense Shadow Fiend’s existence, just like last time.

But she didn’t give up, the increasingly powerful Observation Haki extending towards the sea, stretching out for several nautical miles, before she completely gave up.

”Damn it! What a headache-inducing ability...”

...

Dressrosa, a guest room somewhere in the palace.

Vladimir opened his eyes, revealing a smile.

”Very good, I’ve gotten another 3 billion, plus King Riku’s 2 billion, I now have more than 5 billion, the money is enough. Next, I just need to wait for Doflamingo’s Devil Fruits!”

Thinking of this, Vladimir silently poured himself a cup of tea, taking a sip, ”It’s best if there are more than ten Devil Fruits, that way, I can upgrade Sea Dragon to 4 stars, or even 5 stars!”

Vladimir stared at the other party, asking in a deep voice.

”In the warehouse, Diamante, go get the box.”

Doflamingo instructed, then crossed his fingers, looking at Vladimir calmly, saying, ”To be honest, collecting Devil Fruits is much more difficult than I imagined.”

Seeing this, Vladimir curled his lips, ”I’m not interested in how you collected them.”

”Fufufufu,” after a series of laughs, Doflamingo said, ”10 Devil Fruits, only 3 were truly purchased from the black market, costing a total of 1.2 billion.”

3 for 1.2 billion, a unit price of 400 million.

Vladimir didn’t believe it, he had spent 400 million to buy a Devil Fruit last time, that was because someone was competing with him, normally speaking, there wouldn’t be any problems within 300 million.

”As for the remaining 7...” Saying this, Doflamingo paused, then said, ”For these 7, I had people wipe out two pirate crews in the North Blue and South Blue, destroyed a town, and even used the dark forces to attack a warship and a Heavenly Tribute fleet. Besides that, two were purchased directly from the Celestial Dragons, costing 1 billion.”

”Don’t talk nonsense, just report the total price.” Vladimir was too lazy to haggle with him.

”Fufufufu, as expected of the lawless Phantom Pirates, direct enough! Then let’s calculate it separately, the 5 that were bought with money cost a total of 2.2 billion, and the remaining 5 that were robbed, the labor cost, including my losses, is a total of 3 billion, making the total price 5.2 billion.”

Doflamingo smiled like a cunning merchant.

Hearing this, Vladimir sneered, he didn’t believe that 10 fruits would cost 5.2 billion, at least half of it was inflated.

Thinking of this, he directly took out a bankbook, throwing it over.

Doflamingo was quick-witted, easily catching it, but after looking at it, his expression immediately wasn’t good.

”3 billion? What does this mean?”

”I gave you room to make money, but not to be a sucker, I gave a 1 billion deposit earlier, plus this 3 billion, making a total of 4 billion.”

Vladimir said indifferently, he wasn’t interested in haggling with the other party, directly deciding on the fee of 4 billion.

4 billion for 10 fruits, a unit price of 400 million, he had already given enough of a sweet deal.

Seeing this, Doflamingo frowned slightly.

In fact, he himself was very clear that the 5 fruits that were directly purchased really cost 2.2 billion, while the 5 that were robbed cost about 1 billion, the actual cost was 3.2 billion.

Vladimir giving 4 billion, he was of course making money, it was just less than he had expected.

However, even if he made less, he didn’t dare to say more, the Nine-Tailed Fox’s strength was comparable to the Admiral-level, he couldn’t beat him now, and besides, the other party had a mysterious Phantom Pirates behind him.

Thinking of this, Doflamingo immediately put away the 3 billion, ”Then it’s a deal, consider it my loss. However, I’ll tentatively remind you, those Devil Fruits don’t include any Logia-types, even if you eat them, it will take a long time to become a fighting force.”

There were many ability users in the world, at least over a thousand, but there weren’t many true powerhouses.

”I don’t need you to care about that, continue to collect Devil Fruits for me in the future, and if you do it well, I’ll naturally give you benefits,” Vladimir said.

”That’s not easy, I used every method to get ten this time, it’s impossible to buy them if you really want to,”

Doflamingo shook his head, saying, ”Moreover, even if they appear, the black market will also raise the price, after all, this time the operation was a bit big, and those with a mind can sense it.”

”It doesn’t matter, you just need to collect them for me.”

While speaking, the top member named Diamante had already returned, he was holding a large box in his hands, slamming it down on the table.

Vladimir walked over, opening the box to check the goods.

There were indeed ten Devil Fruits placed inside, with different colors and shapes.

”Scanning mysterious power, quantity 10, absorb?” In his mind, the Fantasy Gene’s voice immediately rang out.

Vladimir wasn’t in a hurry, he closed the box, lifting it up with one hand, ”The transaction is complete, I’m leaving. Next time, I’ll make time to come again, maybe in a month, maybe in two months.”

”Wait.”

Doflamingo suddenly spoke, saying, ”That big deal you mentioned last time...”

”Artificial Devil Fruits?” Vladimir chuckled, ”It’s not time yet.”

”I had people investigate, and Vegapunk doesn’t have any research on this.”

Doflamingo said in a deep voice, ”I think, we can seriously talk about cooperation in this area.”

”I said, it’s not time yet.”

After a pause, Vladimir suddenly said, ”However, it’s coming soon. At that time, I’ll naturally notify you.”

To this, Doflamingo was just silent, Phantom held the information, it was really not easy for him to get a piece of the pie.

Thinking about it, he didn’t mention this matter for the time being, instead saying, ”About the Navy’s subjugation of the Four Emperors, you weren’t at the Shichibukai meeting last time...”

Before he could finish speaking, Vladimir waved his hand, interrupting, ”I know. However, do you think any of the Shichibukai will truly obey orders? I advise you not to waste your energy, I won’t be participating at that time, and not only that, for some reason, one of our Phantom’s members will also be intercepting your fleet at sea.”

”What?” Doflamingo frowned, a little unable to figure out Phantom’s purpose.

Vladimir was too lazy to explain to him, saying, ”When you encounter our member, just run, run as far as you can. If you get caught up in it, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you die.”

If this person couldn’t help him collect Devil Fruits, Vladimir would have been too lazy to remind the other party.

As for whether the other party would leak this to the Navy, Vladimir wasn’t worried at all, as long as Doflamingo didn’t want to die, he wouldn’t dare to do that.

”I’ve said all I need to say, goodbye.”
