Chapter 571: Equal Transaction
"Tikki, this really surprises me... I thought you had lost this phone bug."
The mouth of the phone bug in the palm of his hand opened and closed, and the sound that Blackbeard was most familiar with and feared came out.
"Haha...how could it be? We have always been good friends..."
Tiqi calmed down and spoke a little more forcefully than before.
"What a good friend...hehe."
He murmured with a smile, "I heard that you are chasing those members of the Whitebeard Pirates... Based on your understanding of the Whitebeard Pirates, you should have been seizing their territory and resources recently, right? Your pirate group is cannibalizing the Whitebeard Pirates. The best candidate for Beard Foundation should be able to usher in an overall explosion and increase in strength in a very short period of time. No one can do it except you..."
"Hahaha..."
Blackbeard laughed.
This is the first time that the God Killer is praising him.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to lose his 'mind' just because of the other party's simple words.
What could make the extremely noble and aloof God-Slayer ‘intentionally’ become humble?
Blackbeard's eyes were cunning.
"Half... you chose to call me at this time, something must be wrong, right? I heard... your Hell Pirates are in a lot of trouble right now." Teach stopped being polite and got to the point immediately.
Although he spoke a little more tactfully, his tone still contained a hint of schadenfreude.
"Yes, I have something I need you to do."
Hazy spoke.
"You said."
Tiqi opened the corner of his mouth silently, and looked at each other with the group members on the side, understanding each other tacitly.
"I need you to lead an attack on Dressrosa and block all ships heading to Dressrosa, whether they are pirates, merchants, or government ships."
"Doflamingo's territory?"
Although Teach learned a lot about what the Hell Pirates were going through from the contents of newspapers and some gossip, the details were still lacking and he only knew a general situation.
"This is quite dangerous... I guess most people from the World Government are there now, right?"
"Hahaha... Let me discuss this with the crew and wait for my reply, okay?"
Tikki pretended to respond.
Fan Oka and Lafitte, who knew him well, both saw Blackbeard's intentions, not refusing, being vague... stalling for time. In short, it is impossible for them to help the Hell Pirates. As mentioned before, the longer the God Killer is in trouble, the better it will be for them.
"Tikki, don't try to deal with me."
However, before he could hang up the phone, Haori's voice turned cold, "It's not like I'm asking you to do things in vain... You took risks, and I will definitely reward you."
"Hahaha... God Killer, don't be angry. I didn't say I wouldn't help you. You have to let me plan it... After all, attacking Dressrosa is not that easy." Teach Said with a mocking laugh.
He called Hazel by his title instead of his name, which already meant that he was at odds with each other. In fact, ever since the contact during the war, when Hazel took away Whitebeard's fruit ability, the conflict between the two pirate groups has been on the rise. It is difficult to resolve.
Mainly because Teach couldn't bear it anymore.
Moreover, both Tikki and Hajime are smart, and both of them know that the other is wearing a mask.
In the past, the Blackbeard Pirates were weak and had no choice but to bow their heads and give in when facing Ouzi, but now the situation is different... Teach doesn't want to be used by Ogi anymore, so naturally there is no need to pretend anymore, just based on Ouzhi's strength and past experiences. In his deeds, Blackbeard still has some shadows, so... he is still a little careful when speaking.
But the original intention is...he doesn't want to be a 'dog' for Ogi anymore.
He wanted to watch the God Killer fall into the "quagmire" and be persecuted little by little by the World Government and the three Yonko.
"The puppy has grown up..."
Haori was not surprised at all that Teach used such an 'equal' attitude and tone to talk to him. Instead, he sighed.
"My ability... is destined to only a very small number of people in this world who can target me. Whether it is the World Government or the red-haired ones... it is impossible to kill me in a short time. For example, although there is noisy outside now The situation is very unfavorable for me. I can still fly freely in the sky and go anywhere on the sea... Do you have the confidence that your current pirate group can deal with us?" Haozhi's words are undoubtedly true. Intimidation and threats.
Just tell Tiqi, if you don't do something...I will go find you now.
"Thief hahahaha...God-killer, you don't have the attitude to ask for help."
After hearing this, Tiqi laughed instead and said in more arrogant and clear words, "This is a new world. Do you still think you can do whatever you want like before? To put it simply, looking at the entire sea at the moment can help Maybe you are the only one... Otherwise, how could you call me with your personality? Moreover, even if you really want to go to war with us, with the current situation, I can easily rope in any of the four emperors to join forces, and they will definitely not. I will refuse. Even if I have some grievances with Hongfa... I believe that in order to get rid of you, he and I can temporarily "bury the hatchet", and your situation will only become more difficult. "
Teach understood the key to the situation at a glance.
It's just that the Hell Pirates have been hiding and their whereabouts and location cannot be exposed.
The Hell Pirates must be planning something!
And this is very important.
Because based on Tikki's understanding of Hazel, this man cannot be a 'little turtle', and the people on the other ship are all ruthless characters... Under normal circumstances, they would have already been fighting against the World Government and the red hair head-on. . The latter alliance sounds scary, but based on the ability of the God Killer, it doesn't have to be a head-on confrontation. The four emperors and a group of troops are not always together... they can be defeated one by one by guerrillas or sneak attacks.
Anyway, just do it first and that's it.
But Red Hair and the others searched for so long and almost turned the new world upside down, but they still couldn't find the Hell Pirates.
The God Killer never showed his face... This was obvious to Teach.
For some reason... Wu Zai deliberately hid in the dark and was not prepared to go to war.
This is inconsistent with the Hell Pirates' usual 'swaggering' style.
In addition, if the God Killer comes to hunt him down... it will basically mean all his efforts have been wasted. If he also forms an alliance with Red Hair and others, and the Hell Pirates look for them, it will give the God Killer a group of enemies a chance.
"Hehehehe..."
The phone bug laughed.
As expected of Tikki... he is indeed smart.
Hao couldn't help but glance at Blackbeard again, not fooling this guy.
To be honest, in the world of pirates, talents like Teach should be the protagonists, not Luffy.
But...
"Very well, Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates...Marshall Teach, I will now officially discuss a business deal with you."
"what do you want?"
Hagi changed his tune, it was no longer an oppressive conversation, but an equal cooperation.
"You know what I want...Whitebeard's shock fruit."
Tikki couldn't help but be excited in his tone.
"Well...I'll give it to you, do you dare to ask for it?"
"My divine blessing needs to be given face to face... Since you have chosen to talk to me as an equal, it means that you have thrown off the shackles that I had tied around your neck... You are no longer my pet, and I have Maybe I really have murderous intentions towards you... So, do you dare to come to me head-on and see me? "
"I can give it to you...the question is, do you dare?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Tiqi choked up instantly.
His expression was tense and he was swallowing saliva.
The importance of the Shock Fruit is undoubtedly important to him and to the God Slayer.
He is now asking the other party to let go of the Shock Fruit in a way that is a bit of aggravation... He knows with his ass that the God Killer will be displeased.
He didn't even blink an eye.
What to do?
