But it is precisely because he is Maud that he deserves to be treated like this by Vergo.
"Bacardi Mod."
Vergo looked coldly at Mod's bounty order lying aside, with a cold murderous intent in his brows.
Ever since he could remember, he had never wanted to kill someone so strongly.
Bulu Bulu—
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the pocket of his clothes.
Vergo's face changed slightly, his eyes immediately glowed red, and he sensed the situation near the captain's cabin with his sense of sight.
After confirming that no one was around, Virgo took out a small pair of white telephone bugs for anti-eavesdropping from the depths of his pocket.
This phone bug is Vergo's special phone bug to contact his family.
Only when something important happens, the family will contact him as a navy undercover agent.
Virgo answered the phone bug.
"Coke Beef Patty."
After the call was connected, a male voice came from the other side of the phone.
Virgo looked at the phone bug that had not transformed into an image, and said calmly: "Hamburgers and fries."
After answering the ordinary code, Vergo asked: "What's the matter?"
"Just now, we got information about the 'Shocking Fruit'."
"Huh? You mean the Zhenzhen Fruit?!"
Vergo's eyes narrowed, and the half piece of beef patty stuck to his mouth fell to the ground.
"Yes, the Shock Fruit that made Whitebeard the strongest in the world... No matter what, we have to get it!!!"
"What do you need me to do?"
Virgo stared at the phone bug.
Everyone knows what the Zhenzhen Fruit means.
As long as you get it, you can gain powerful power in a short time.
The person on the other side of the phone said in an unquestionable tone: "Come with us to get the 'Shock Fruit'."
"What about my current identity?"
"It is more important to get the Zhenzhen Fruit. Among us, you are the only one who has not eaten the fruit yet, and you are the only one who is the most suitable to eat the Zhenzhen Fruit."
"I see."
Vergo's eyes were cold.
The Don Quixote family can be said to be a standard esper force.
From the head of the family, Doflamingo, down to the cadres at all levels, they are basically all capable people.
After all, the Don Quixote family controls huge trading channels and owns countless black industries. It is easy to obtain various devil fruits that are extremely rare for ordinary people.
Precisely because Devil Fruits can be easily obtained, basically all leaders within the family can receive one.
Vergo was sent to the Navy as an undercover agent by Doflamingo many years ago, so he was naturally unable to enjoy the benefits of the Devil Fruit within his family.
So until now, Vergo has never eaten a devil fruit.
now,
The Don Quixote family, which had lost Doflamingo and was sworn in with Maud, relied on their intelligence network to obtain information on the whereabouts of the Shock Fruit, so they were bound to obtain the Shock Fruit.
Since the entire family's cadres are basically ability users, once they get the Zhenzhen Fruit, it is natural that Vergo will eat it.
As long as the family can obtain Zhenzhen's ability, even if Virgo gives up his identity as a Navy undercover agent, he will not hesitate.
Virgo then chatted with the person on the other side of the phone for a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Zhenzhen fruit..."
This devil fruit with the ability to destroy the world is undoubtedly something that every strong man in the sea wants to get.
Virgo is naturally no exception.
He specializes in physical skills and domineering. If he can obtain the ability of the Shock Fruit, his strength will be greatly improved.
... ... ... .
A week later.
Thousands of meters under the sea.
Fishman Island, wrapped in a giant bubble wrap, hangs quietly above the seabed.
Through the sunlight transmitted by the Yang Tree Eve through the tree roots, the Fish-Man Island located deep in the sea exudes a bright and moving light.
only,
No matter how moving and warm the sunshine is, the entire residents of Fish-Man Island, including the royal family, are shrouded in a haze that is difficult to dispel.
Since the end of the War on the Top, slave-catching teams and pirates have been pouring into Fish-Man Island from all directions like crazy, desperate for their lives.
Without the protection of Whitebeard's flag, and the number of pirates who came to Fish-Man Island was so large, the censorship checkpoint set up at the entrance to Fish-Man Island completely lost its meaning.
As for the troops of Fish-Man Island, they couldn't even defend the main entrance in front of the pirates who came like locusts in a steady stream.
The loss of the gate made it easier for more and more pirates to come.
They can enter the Fish-Man Island safely without taking the more risky illegal entry method.
The invasion of a large number of pirates and the tight military strength of the Kingdom of Fish-Man Island have caused the towns and streets of Fish-Man Island to become very deserted and depressed.
In order to avoid being hunted by the slave hunting team and pirates, a large number of mermaids hid directly in the deepest part of the coral apartment.
only,
When countless ferocious beasts have red eyes and open their fangs and mouths dripping with saliva, no matter how deep they hide, they may be picked out.
Almost every day, several mermaid girls will suffer disaster...
As for their final fate, it goes without saying.
Fishman Island, Dragon Palace City.
This is the base of the Royal Family of Fish-Man Island.
Located on the top floor of Fishman Island where the sun can be seen, it is a large luxurious palace built of large coral reefs, shells, and other building materials, with a giant dragon entrenched there.
The main hall in the palace.
The king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island, Neptune, the Great Knight of the Sea, who wears a crown and is stronger than the average mermaid, sits on the throne.
He made a fist with his right hand and pressed it hard on his forehead.
Even his thick and fluffy beard could not hide his sadness at the moment.
Below the throne.
Standing is a catfish mermaid wearing a top hat, a monocle on his left eye, and holding a horn cane in his right hand.
This is the left minister of Dragon Palace City.
"Your Majesty Neptune... Coral Hill, a port town in the southeast, has been occupied by a large number of pirates. The great prince Shark Star led the army to attack the pirates."
"But the opponent has a large number of people. The army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. The eldest prince Shark Star was even injured. Fortunately, it was not serious. But if this continues, what should we do?"
Minister Zuo lowered his head, his face full of grief.
To the right of Minister Zuo stood a seahorse mermaid holding a crescent moon sword.
He is the right minister of Ryugong City.
After Minister Zuo finished his report, he took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty Neptune, the message for help sent to the Navy Headquarters has not been responded to."
"Yeah… "
Neptune frowned and sighed: "This is the crisis of Fish-Man Island after all. We cannot place our hopes on 'human beings'."
As he spoke, Neptune clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "There are too many pirates, and our military strength is becoming increasingly tight. We can no longer take the initiative to attack the pirates. We can only shrink the defense line to ensure the safety of our citizens as much as possible. .”
At this moment, a guard hurried into the palace and came under the throne.
Everyone in the palace, including Neptune, looked at the guards.
The guard looked heavy and looked up at Neptune on the throne.
"Your Majesty Neptune, just now, the spy at the entrance saw the flag of the Yonko BIGMOM Pirates...!"
"What!?"
Neptune's expression changed.
On the other hand, the expressions of the ministers in the palace also changed dramatically.
Even people from the Four Emperors came...
Veins appeared on Neptune's forehead.
Only under such circumstances can the importance of the original Whitebeard flag be deeply reflected.
"Damn it..."
Neptune pressed his forehead hard and gritted his teeth and said: "Is Fish-Man Island going to return to the beginning of the great pirate era..."
Even though the military strength on the island is far greater than that of twenty years ago, it is still difficult to resist the larger number of locust-like pirates.
The Navy Headquarters is still prejudiced against foreigners after all, so they will not try their best to come to the rescue.
In order to eliminate the threat from pirates, there seems to be no other way except to get the protection of the four emperors.
While Nipton gritted his teeth and thought, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Today's Whitebeard flag has lost its protective effect.
The Yonko BIGMOM Pirates came to Fishman Island at this juncture, and they might be able to seek shelter from the BIGMOM Pirates.
"I don't know if it's because the ships of the BIGMOM pirates came to Fish-Man Island, but the pirates who occupied the Coral Hill are now approaching the Gironcod Square in groups."
The guard then reported the information just passed from the spy.
"I understand, please step back."
Neptune took a deep breath.
After the idea of seeking shelter from the BIGMOM pirates came up, the news that the pirates from Coral Hill were moving towards Girlon Court Square seemed less important.
Because, what is the purpose of the pirates gathered in Jilong Kaode Square? With the strength of Ryugu City, they can only defend unilaterally.
"Right minister."
Neptune looked at the seahorse mermaid right minister under the throne and ordered:
"Immediately send someone to contact the BIGMOM Pirates and invite the person in charge to Ryugu Castle. Remember, no matter what the other party's intention is, you cannot fight with them."
"yes."
Although the right minister was confused, he still stepped down and went to prepare for the matter immediately.
After the right minister left the palace, the left minister looked up at Neptune and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, are you planning to... seek asylum from the Yonko BIGMOM pirates?"
“…”
Neptune was silent for a while, then sighed: "Perhaps this is the only way to solve the crisis, just like when Newgate left the flag on Fish-Man Island..."
"But the other party is the BIGMOM pirates..."
"I know."
Neptune interrupted Minister Zuo.
"But as long as we can meet the requirements put forward by the BIGMOM Pirates, the protection effect brought by the flag will be the same..."
Chapter 175: Bait Battle
Fish-Man Island is located in the center of the world, and its location is very special. Coupled with racial prejudice and the high value of mermaid girls in the human world.
Therefore, since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, Fish-Man Island has been attacked by countless pirates...
If Whitebeard hadn't come forward to plant the flag on Fish-Man Island at that time, it is conceivable that Fish-Man Island would have declined and become dilapidated within a few years.
