Chapter 41

Since so many people want the Immortal Beans, let's take out a few and let them fight over them like dogs.

However, the prerequisite is that the price has to go up.

44. The Immortal Bean Auction — The Seas Boil! (Begging for flowers and votes)

When Luo Xing arrived at Kaido's palace, Kaido was in a furious rage.

"Joker, he's really gotten bold!"

"He actually dares to threaten me — get those Smile Fruits delivered to me right now!"

Kaido's mountain-like frame radiated a terrifying aura.

His thick dragon horns, knotted muscles, and the black lightning coursing around his body made the nearby Tobiroppo and the three Calamities all tremble with fear.

Luo Xing, however, was unaffected. He calmly walked up to Kaido and said:

"Father-in-law, my lord, why get angry over a mere Warlord of the Sea?"

Kaido first inquired about Luo Xing's cultivation progress, praised him for a while, and only then said angrily:

"It's not just Joker, but also that old hag Linlin, that brat Red-Hair, and those bastards from the World Government — every single one of them wants to snatch my Immortal Beans!"

Facing so many covetous forces, even Kaido felt tremendous pressure.

At the same time, he felt even more furious.

Those bastards — do they take this great Beasts Kaido for a soft persimmon?!

Luo Xing merely smiled slightly and said: "Since they want them, then just give it to them."

"What?"

Kaido was stunned, and the three Calamities and Tobiroppo were all dumbfounded.

How could Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing say something that boosted the enemy's morale and destroyed our own?

When had their Beasts Pirates ever feared anyone!

Kaido was displeased: "What do you take me for!"

Luo Xing explained with a smile: "Naturally we won't give them away for free. If they want the Immortal Beans, not only do they have to pay more, but they also need to have the life to take them."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone looked baffled.

Luo Xing then laid out the plan he had just thought of, the whole thing.

"Father-in-law must also be aware that, because of the Artificial Devil Fruit cells and the Immortal Beans, our Beasts crew is showing a faint trend of becoming the target of all on the seas. Although we're not afraid, it's somewhat disadvantageous to our future development."

"Therefore, I believe blocking is not as good as diverting. Why not take out a few Immortal Beans and let that group fight each other bloody, while we sit back and reap the fisherman's profit."

Kaido's eyes lit up at once.

This was a path he had never even considered — far more brilliant than just throwing a tantrum.

Luo Xing's voice continued:

"Of course, our Immortal Beans won't be brought out for free either."

"I plan to hold an Immortal Bean auction. The starting price will be three hundred million Beri per bean — highest bidder wins. As for whether the buyer can keep it, that's none of our business."

An Immortal Bean auction?

Kaido, King, Queen, and the others nearly clapped their hands on the spot — this idea was simply brilliant!

On one hand, it draws the attention of the major powers, so they stop constantly staring at the Beasts crew.

On the other hand, the auction price of the Immortal Beans will surely be driven extremely high — at least no less than the one billion Beri for Tiger-class Artificial Devil Fruit cells back then.

This is bound to bring a large sum of funds to the Beasts crew — faster than going out to rob!

Luo Xing's idea was truly a plan that killed two birds with one stone!

Kaido was overjoyed, laughing so hard he couldn't close his mouth:

"Son-in-law, why don't I just hand this Viceroy position over to you — how on earth is your brain built!"

Calamity King also said with heartfelt admiration:

"Imperial Son-in-Law's invention ability is unmatched in this world, and his wisdom is equally outstanding…"

Luo Xing hurriedly raised his hand: "Father-in-law, King, don't praise me yet — I haven't finished."

There's more?

Could Luo Xing's plan be more than just killing two birds with one stone?

Kaido, King, and the others gulped inwardly, looking at Luo Xing as if he were some kind of monster.

Luo Xing cleared his throat and said:

"Doflamingo merely ate one low-grade Artificial Devil Fruit cell and already dared to threaten Father-in-law by withholding the Smile Fruits — truly brazen and reckless."

"I think we might as well wipe out Doflamingo outright, and take his Smile factory and arms trading house entirely into our hands."

Kaido and King were immediately confused.

Hold an Immortal Bean auction AND wipe out Doflamingo — which comes first?

Luo Xing's answer was: do both at the same time.

"We'll set the venue for the Immortal Bean auction in Dressrosa. Doflamingo wants the Immortal Beans, doesn't he? He certainly won't refuse!"

"We'll use the excuse of escorting the Immortal Beans to enter Dressrosa, and seize the chance to wipe out Doflamingo and his Tang Jihede family!"

"This way, all of Dressrosa will become our Beasts crew's territory!"

The words fell.

Yet the entire palace fell silent.

Including Kaido, everyone was stunned by Luo Xing's meticulous plan that killed three birds with one stone.

What does it mean to be so clever as to be near-demonic? This is it!

Page One was especially shaken.

The one who welcomed Luo Xing out of seclusion was he, the very person who had just told Luo Xing those matters on the road.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, the Imperial Son-in-Law had devised such a bold yet utterly feasible plan!

Truly, it commands admiration to the point of prostration!

Kaido sighed, "Son-in-law, perhaps my position as Viceroy should truly be yielded to you."

Luo Xing smiled modestly.

Kaido immediately swept his gaze toward the Three Calamities and the Tobiroppo, asking Luo Xing:

"Who should be assigned to do this matter?"

As the proposer of the plan, Luo Xing would certainly have to go to Dressrosa.

Furthermore, one more person must be added to ensure the ability to kill Doflamingo and his family officers.

Luo Xing had already considered this and stated directly:

"Let Fuzz-Fu accompany me into Dressrosa. Additionally, let Runtie and Page One lead two hundred Gifters and one hundred Mink warriors to provide support outside, to guard against the unexpected."

A buzzing sound arose:

"Imperial Son-in-Law, let me go with you as well!"

Luo Xing looked over at the Drought Jack, who had volunteered for the battle.

Luo Xing smiled and said:

"You have recently offended Admiral Akainu terribly; if Akainu learns of your whereabouts and rushes to Dressrosa as well, would not our plan be ruined?"

Jack could only withdraw in disappointment.

The matter was settled.

The Beasts Pirates soon spread the news that a Senju Bean Auction would be held in Dressrosa.

In an instant, the entire sea boiled over!

45. An attraction beyond expectation, an auction with heroes participating!

Whole Cake Island.

Big Mom Xia Luote Linlin was throwing a furious tantrum:

"What Senju Bean Auction? That bastard Kaido owes me a huge debt; does he think it can be repaid so easily!"

Upon learning of the miraculous effects of the Senju Beans, Big Mom made a call to Kaido without a second word, demanding the Senju Beans.

Kaido refused flatly without the slightest surprise.

The two exchanged yet another round of friendly greetings, sending each other their heartfelt wishes for why they had not yet died.

Big Mom was truly extremely angry.

Back in those days on the Rocks ship, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and others bullied Kaido daily; only she, Xia Luote Linlin, treated Kaido well.

At the critical moment of the God Valley battle, she had even gifted him a Mythical Zoan-type Dragon Fruit in the form of the Azure Dragon.
