Chapter 265 Charlotte Linlin's Attention
Among the nations, the race Charlotte Linlin desired most was the giants.
However, she had long since fallen out with the giants.
If she could truly master a new bloodline with the ability to giantize through this, Charlotte Linlin could also fulfill her dream.
"Interesting. Keep a close eye on Sig and see if he's truly an ability user."
"If it really is his own special ability..."
"Mamamamama~"
A somewhat chilling laughter echoed from the other end of the phone.
After hanging up, Tiramisu's expression also turned a little ugly.
Because of her own careless words, she had gotten herself into big trouble for no reason...
But things had reached this point, and Tiramisu couldn't turn back.
She walked out of the office and immediately asked her subordinate beside her:
"Where is Sig? Our interview can't just be suspended like this.."
But before she could finish, her subordinate shook his head.
"Just now, Sig already left Mousse Island by ship."
"They seemed to be in a great hurry."
"Left?" Tiramisu's voice involuntarily rose several degrees.
For her, this was not good news.
"Which sea route did Sig take? Is his destination Sabaody Archipelago?" Tiramisu asked again.
"The direction they left in seems to be.... the Florian Triangle sea area. We already tried to persuade them..."
Upon hearing the name Florian Triangle sea area, Tiramisu's expression also became solemn.
She was a reporter, after all, and had heard various strange tales from around the world. Coupled with her Charlotte family background, her knowledge was extensive.
But that Florian Triangle sea area... she didn't dare to underestimate it either.
"That sea area, since many years ago, has been filled with various strange rumors. It's shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult for ships entering to navigate. Basically, very few people can leave safely..."
Tiramisu pondered for a moment, her brow furrowing.
"Half a month ago, the Shichibukai Gekko Moria also entered the Florian Triangle sea area... What is in that sea that could attract these two great pirates?"
Tiramisu fell into deep thought.
Gekko Moria's pirate ship was the Thriller Bark, known as the world's largest pirate ship, containing an island from the West Blue on its hull.
When this giant ship passed Mousse Island, the commotion was quite significant.
Therefore, Tiramisu also had a deep impression and remembered it clearly.
She hesitated whether to head straight into the Florian Triangle sea area and secretly spy on Sig's background.
........
At the same time.
The ironclad ship and Whale Laboon continued forward towards the Florian Triangle sea area.
Having been in the Grand Line for a long time, finally reaching the moment to head towards the Florian Triangle sea area, Whale Laboon was quite excited, repeatedly letting out earth-shattering calls.
However, the number of ships along the way became increasingly scarce.
This was a dangerous sign.
Sig wasn't idle either. Just after boarding the ship and leaving Mousse Island port, Sig returned to his room and made a call back to Whole Cake Island.
"Gilman, the treasure map for One Piece Part II, I'll leave the auction responsibility to you..."
Sig said earnestly.
To profit from auctioning the treasure map, Sabaody Archipelago, also a commercial hub island, was a good choice.
But... it was too dangerous!
Some time ago, the fake Sig appeared in Sabaody Archipelago, attracting Admiral Sengoku himself. If he created another new treasure map in Sabaody Archipelago, that would be courting death.
Whole Cake Island, at least, was under the joint control of the underworld forces, making it difficult for the Marines to interfere.
After the incident with Doflamingo last time, these forces would surely treat this auction with caution.
"The treasure map, such an important matter..."
On the other end of the phone, Gilman's voice held a hint of hesitation.
Handling matters on Whole Cake Island and maneuvering among the underworld bosses wasn't something he'd done for just a day or two.
After so long, Gilman had gradually adapted to this life.
But such a heavy responsibility still made him hesitate slightly.
On the other end, Sig also fell silent for a moment.
He could read the emotion in Gilman's words.
"Right... Handling this kind of thing is still a bit difficult for him. After all, he's just a small bandit from the East Blue."
Sig thought to himself.
In Gilman, he seemed to see his former self again.
"How about this. After the treasure map matter is settled, you can use the Zoan fruit purchased yourself."
Sig said.
He had thought things through a bit too simply before.
Gilman, the leader of the Whole Cake Island base, represented Sig's face.
Sig's reputation was currently high. Even if Gilman acted low-key, he might attract undeserved disaster like last time.
The people from the Pleasure Quarter didn't truly belong to Sig, weren't his own people, and might not always arrive in time.
Therefore, it was best for Gilman to improve his personal strength to avoid mishaps.
This was Sig's current thinking.
But hearing this, Gilman, the blonde burly man, his voice trembled slightly.
"Boss, this is a Devil Fruit worth over 100 million..."
"Say no more, it's settled."
His original intention in buying Devil Fruits was to strengthen his subordinates.
Sig still hoped that one day, his subordinates would become strong enough to protect him, the Bandit King, in return...
The side effects of Devil Fruits were too great; Sig currently didn't want to consume one.
Once becoming an ability user, gaining the weaknesses of Seastone and seawater, wanting to change identity and start anew would become even more difficult.
Of course, if there were truly some super strong Mythical Zoan or Logia fruit, Sig wouldn't be pedantic.
"Boss, there's one more thing."
Just as Sig was about to hang up, he heard Gilman continue:
"The people from the Shock Department came to rush the manuscript again. This time they proposed a suggestion."
"The Forum Tabloid has a fatal flaw. Once improved, leveraging the channels of the World Economic News Agency, it has the potential to become a world-class entertainment newspaper..."
"Oh? Tell me more."
Sig was also a bit tempted.
The World Economic News was the world's number one newspaper, its sales and influence incredibly astonishing, unmatched by anyone.
The profits from the newspaper alone were enough for Morgans to become one of the kings of the underworld, establishing branches all over the world and raising massive numbers of News Coos.
In the field of news media, the World Government was far inferior to Morgans, often needing to cooperate with this News King.
Such a vast paper media empire relied mainly on Morgans' "World Economic News" for profit.
If the "Forum Tabloid" could also become a truly world-class newspaper, then Sig might not need to bother anymore, no need to create fake treasure maps to accumulate wealth.
