Chapter 196 Cooperation between the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy
Kahn temporarily put aside the Sand-Sand Fruit serum. His target for the Nature Devil Fruit was the Thunder Fruit, but he had to find out whether the bloodline factor of the Nature Devil Fruit was unique in the gene chain. If it could not be covered, he could only take one Devil Fruit.
Regarding the saying that two Devil Fruits cannot be eaten at the same time, Kahn suspected that eating two Devil Fruits would cause the conflict and collapse of the gene chain. Before solving this problem, Kahn did not intend to eat the second Devil Fruit.
He still knew too little about Devil Fruits and needed more experimental subjects and data support; but relying solely on the ability of the Thunder Fruit, if it was well developed, it would basically be a real god.
Fortunately, Enel was a poor student. If he studied or developed the Thunder Fruit a little, the difficulty would rise by several levels.
If it was just the level at the beginning of the plot, then Enel would still be easy to deal with; with the opponent's arrogance, plus the composite insulating clothing and magic power prepared in advance, Kahn was very confident in dealing with Enel.
Magic can affect electromagnetism. Kahn knew this when he was at Hogwarts. When magic is strong enough, it can prevent the spread of electric current and create a kind of insulating force field, which is Kahn's own magic force field.
Kahn has now asked Nico Robin to collect information about Sky Island. After finding the specific location of the updraft, he is ready to set off. After
hearing Kahn ask her to inquire about Sky Island and the updraft, Nico Robin immediately guessed that her boss was going to Sky Island, so she sent out many executive commands, and she was even more concerned about this matter than Kahn.
O'Hara perished because of the historical text. Exploring the blank history is not only Nico Robin's own hobby, but also her responsibility as the last O'Hara people.
However, when inquiring about Sky Island and the updraft, Nico Robin also had to deal with other things.
For example, Smoker of the Navy Branch came to Alabasta again. This time, in addition to sending Crocodile's bounty, he still wanted to invite Kahn to become a Shichibukai.
"I'm sorry, Captain Smoker, the boss doesn't like pirates, he might still reject you."
Nico Robin asked someone to take over the bounty from the navy, but she didn't bother Kahn's thoughts; a qualified assistant should handle things according to the boss's wishes. Kahn refused to become a Shichibukai, not to manipulate the navy, but because he really had no interest in the Shichibukai.
"Please inform your boss again, the Navy Headquarters knows that he doesn't want to be a pirate, so they changed the conditions..."
Smoker said with some impatience on his face. He was not good at lobbying and persuading, and the Navy Headquarters asked him to do this kind of thing, which was really troublesome!
Nico Robin asked with a smile on her face: "May I ask what conditions the Navy Headquarters has offered? If they are sincere, I believe the boss is willing to listen. After all, he is a bit busy now, and I dare not disturb him easily without necessary matters."
"I am talking to you..."
Smoker was so unhappy that he wanted to slam the table, but thinking that this was the other party's territory, and he had important matters on behalf of the Navy and the World Government this time, he suppressed his unhappiness and said to Nico Robin,
"The Navy Headquarters knows that your boss does not want to be a pirate, so it will announce to the world that your boss will become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a hero who fights against pirates, and there is also an order to purchase guns from the Navy. However, the headquarters will send someone to discuss this matter in detail. If nothing unexpected happens, the Navy Headquarters will purchase guns from your boss in the future, and finally there will be a pass."
"Pass?" Nico Robin asked repeatedly
. Smoker explained impatiently, "You can pass through any place where the navy is, but I guess the place you use the most is through the Red Earth Continent. It should be very useful for merchants. After all, there is only Fishman Island besides there. You should know the loss rate of ships there."
Nico Robin asked in surprise, "Mariajo, the holy land of the Red Earth Continent? Can goods pass through there?"
"There is a special channel, otherwise how did those Celestial Dragons take the goods back? Well, after saying so much, are you going to inform your boss or not?"
Smoker's patience is almost at its limit. If this assistant argues with him again, he will turn around and let other people in the headquarters talk to this guy.
However, just after Smoker finished speaking, the space in front of him was distorted, and the next second, Kahn's figure came out of the distorted space. The time lasted for a very short time, and Nico Robin didn't see it clearly at all. Only Smoker saw a little bit of what happened just now.
'Unknown ability, can suddenly appear in a certain place? '
Smoker took note of this information. As for why Kahn suddenly came here, Smoker looked at Nico Robin who reached back from under the table, and guessed that she had been using Den Den Mushi to contact Kahn.
Kahn came to the meeting room and said to Smoker with a smile: "Colonel Smoker, I'm sorry to bother you to come again for such a small matter." Smoker
received Kahn's apology, and the other party greeted him with a smile. He didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend not to know and repeated his words: "Nothing, this time I came because of the latest news from the World Government and the headquarters."
But before Smoker finished speaking, Kahn said first: "I agree to the invitation of the World Government. If I am not a pirate, then the identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will also be beneficial to me; as for the purchase of guns by the Navy, I have a doubt. With the research capabilities of the World Government, this kind of firearm should be easy to study thoroughly." It would be
a waste of time to ask him to buy it again. The Pacifist developed by the Navy Headquarters is even equipped with laser cannons. This kind of firearm should not be difficult for them.
"Who knows? Maybe they're lazy, or maybe they're afraid you'll sell it to pirates. Rather than letting the pirates change their equipment and become much stronger, it's better for the navy to buy it." Smoker changed two cigars and continued, "These things are not my responsibility. The headquarters will send other people to contact you at that time, but it will probably be forbidden to sell firearms and ammunition to pirates. Can you accept this condition?"
Kahn smiled and said, "Of course, Colonel Smoker, don't forget that I am a businessman. I have no good feelings towards most of the pirates who rob. It is impossible for them to buy a bullet from me."
Pirates are only worthy of being plundered by Kahn's men. How can prey buy guns from hunters? In the world of pirates, except for a few pirates, the rest are criminals; even Luffy made a big fuss in Impel Down and let a group of pirates go.
"In this case, I have nothing to do here. Someone will come to hand over to you in a few days. At that time, the World Government will declare to the world that you have become the new Shichibukai. Your main responsibility is to deter or capture other pirates with strength."
When Smoker said the last sentence, there was something meaningful. While speaking, he touched the weapon placed aside.
Kahn smiled, then nodded and said, "I understand. At least we have to show our strength to Colonel Smoker. Of course, there is no problem. Let's do it here. Are you ready, Colonel Smoker?"
Smoker stood up, his fierce face became more serious, and said, "Right here? I'm ready at any time."
While Kahn was speaking, Nico Robin had retreated to the gate. She didn't want to be affected.
"Then I'll do it."
Kahn reminded him, and then he opened his mouth slightly and spurted out a surging sea of fire from his mouth.
"Flame? Devil Fruit ability user?"
Smoker's eyes widened, and he thought in shock. He turned himself into smoke in an instant, but after turning into nature, the flames in the room still gave him a strong sense of threat. It seemed that this flame could even burn smoke.
Is this the Flame-Flame Fruit of the Natural Devil Fruit?
Smoker quickly wanted to escape from the sea of fire, but the flames Kahn spewed out were like a waterfall. In just two seconds, the huge conference hall was turned into a sea of fire.
Even the ceiling was burning with flames, and the flames gathered around him from all directions, and soon it turned into a flame cage; around the flame cage, four beast-shaped Fiends stood, guarding the flame cage motionlessly.
"This kind of flame is definitely not the natural Flame-Flame Fruit, even Admiral Akainu's magma."
The threat was so great that Smoker didn't dare to use smoke to test whether he could escape from the flame cage; he tried it with the seastone weapon, but the seastone weapon was directly burned by the Fiends, and soon the top of the weapon was charred.
It was confirmed that this was not a devil fruit!
"This is magic, Colonel Smoker. Although I am a businessman, I learned a little magic by chance."
Kahn said with a smile, and then waved his hand to take back all the Fiends; after the flame cage around Smoker disappeared, there was not much damage around, only a little charring appeared on the ground and ceiling.
However, Kahn snapped his fingers and used magic to restore the surrounding areas destroyed by Fiery Flame. Then Kahn thought to himself with satisfaction that his control over Fiery Flame seemed to have become a little stronger.
"Magic... Mr. Pent's strength is indeed enough to serve as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so I won't bother you anymore."
After Smoker finished speaking, he said goodbye and left. He had received an order from the headquarters to test Kahn's strength, but he was captured by the other party before he could do anything. There is also magic. How come the headquarters has never had any information about this? Are the intelligence departments of the World Government eating shit?
Nico Robin smiled and said, "Boss, Colonel Smoker seems to be very shocked?"
Kahn shook his head and said, "How could that kind of person be shocked? He should be sulking with me, angry that I am too weak. Have you collected the information on Sky Island?"
Nico Robin was a little excited after hearing this, but she still calmed down and said with a smile, "I have been ready for a long time. After all, it is the boss's order."
"I think you are also looking forward to it. After all, it is the main text of history. Then wait until you accept the Seven Warlords of the Sea before setting off. If you are fast, you can be back in a few days."
Kahn said decisively, and then left here with an Apparition.
When Nico Robin was the only one left in the meeting room, she curiously touched the floor where the fierce fire had just burned, and then said to herself in confusion, "What kind of power is magic? I remember that this place was destroyed just now, and now I can't even feel a little heat."
