"He is the mastermind behind the attack on Impel Down!"
"Hmph, the betrayal claim was indeed false!"
Behind Sengoku, several vice admirals whispered.
On the right, a figure wearing a black robe with red clouds walked silently.
"The newly emerged Phantom member, Uchiha Itachi!"
"This guy uses 'illusions,' but he's not a Devil Fruit user. He can walk on water and breathe fire!"
"He has a black flame that cannot be extinguished. A few days ago, Admiral Akainu suffered a great loss..."
As they spoke, the vice admirals glared, full of hostility.
Akainu himself showed no anger, looking at him calmly.
"You've arrived."
Sengoku spoke in a deep voice, first glancing left and right before focusing on the person in the middle.
"Who are you?"
"I am... the Vladimir Emperor."
Vladimir sat down on the chair generously, looking directly at Sengoku: "You've been looking for me. Now that I'm standing in front of you, you're asking who I am?"
Hearing this, Sengoku said expressionlessly, "About two weeks ago, your executive Sea Dragon and the Yonko Kaido had a great battle in the Sabaody Archipelago. Sea Dragon's human form looked exactly like you. Are you... even human?"
He couldn't help but suspect this.
Sea Dragon's human form was so similar to this person, almost identical except for the clothing and minor details.
But that was impossible, because Sea Dragon was floating in the sea. Unless he had mastered a clone technique, it was impossible for them to be the same person.
Based on this premise, could this Vladimir also suddenly turn into a dragon?
Or some other creature!
"A boring question."
Vladimir was too lazy to answer, saying directly, "If you came all this way just to discuss this, then this meeting doesn't need to continue."
Hearing this, Sengoku took a deep breath, putting the question aside for now.
He signaled to Vice Admiral Tsuru beside him. Tsuru stepped forward, handing over a piece of intelligence.
"Take a look."
Hearing this, Vladimir picked it up casually, glancing at it.
The content of the intelligence was simple: at such and such time, such and such a pirate crew attacked such and such a country.
Basically, it was all this kind of content: pirates landing and looting a country, some even daring to kill the king and prepare to become rulers.
Of course, there were even more exaggerated cases, with several pirate crews forming alliances to launch cleansing operations against the remnants of the Big Mom Pirates.
However, Vladimir didn't care much about these. What really surprised him were the last few entries.
The great pirate Shiki led the Flying Pirates in a great battle against the Three Emperors Alliance that overthrew the Yonko, ultimately defeating the alliance and seizing a large area of the sea.
One of Kaido's Three Disasters, Drought, appeared in Big Mom's territory, wiping out a New World pirate crew.
Besides these, there were many others. Vladimir even saw Whitebeard's subordinates and Shanks' subordinates.
The other three of the Yonko had also taken action, but their specific purposes were still unknown.
"Heh heh heh... it's really chaotic."
Vladimir couldn't help but chuckle after reading it. "When Charlotte Linlin was in power, these guys didn't move. As soon as she showed weakness, they immediately ganged up on her."
"It will be even more chaotic later. This is just the beginning!"
Sengoku said in a deep voice, "The mastermind behind all of this is you, Vladimir!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Vladimir raised an eyebrow, throwing the intelligence aside. "No need for nonsense. If you want our Phantom to help you wipe out the pirates, it's not impossible. Let's talk about the reward."
His quick agreement surprised Sengoku.
"It seems Devil Fruits are very attractive to you."
Sengoku glanced at the two people beside him, saying, "But you're very bold to only bring two or three people to negotiate with us!"
"Two or three people?"
Vladimir smiled playfully. "When did I say there were only two or three people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
With a clap, the sea around them surged.
Boom!
Huge creatures broke out of the sea one after another. Sea Kings of various shapes and sizes instantly surrounded the entire Navy fleet in layers.
Most of these Sea Kings were tens or nearly a hundred meters in size. The largest ones even exceeded five hundred meters, emerging from the water like small mountains.
In comparison, the mere ten warships looked extremely weak, like children standing in front of a group of adults.
"A Sea Beast Army!" Aokiji's expression changed slightly. "We were so focused on the island that we forgot about what was beneath the sea..."
"How is it?"
Vladimir chuckled softly. "If you're not satisfied, I can also summon the 'Scourge of the Undead.'"
Seeing this, Sengoku's face twitched. He took a deep breath, calming his fluctuating emotions.
"Let's continue discussing the cooperation."
He shook his head, saying, "The Navy hires you to jointly wipe out the upstart pirate crews. After it's done, we'll give you 3 Devil Fruits!"
"Too few."
Vladimir was concise.
After a long silence, Sengoku finally said, "5!"
