Chapter 1288

~7 min read 1,358 words

As Doflamingo's laughter stopped abruptly, Pica on the side placed his hands on the ground, ready to activate the surrounding rocks at any time. On land, his combat power increased by at least one-third.

"Glug~"

Sugar, who was swallowing grapes, was choked until her eyes rolled back. Amu didn't know when it had already stood behind Sugar. As long as there was a slight change in the situation, it would instantly crush Sugar into pieces. It didn't care whether Sugar was cute or not.

Doflamingo raised his palm toward Pica, signaling him not to act rashly. It was normal for these three people to have this reaction. If being held against the throat by a sharp blade was a needle-pricking sensation, then observing Apollo at close range was like a soldering iron approaching the center of the eyebrows, scorching and stinging.

"Is this a weapon you manufactured?"

Doflamingo quickly calmed down, but his five fingers twitched, and invisible threads appeared around Su Xiao.

Sizzle~

The Boundary Breaking Line popped out, wrapping around Su Xiao, and strangling several transparent threads in mid-air.

"Of course, otherwise why would the World Government chase me all over the world?"

Su Xiao's expression remained as usual, and he didn't look up at the Boundary Breaking Line above.

Doflamingo's index finger hooked, and he withdrew the threads above Su Xiao. This was his Devil Fruit ability, the String-String Fruit that had already been developed to the awakening level.

"I want to know the detailed information about this thing, whether it can be mass-produced, power, cost..."

Doflamingo only felt that Apollo was very dangerous. He didn't know about the information regarding Apollo.

"You can call it Apollo. This is a large-scale explosive. As for its killing principle, you can imagine it as a small artificial sun falling on the ground.

In fact, Apollo's explosion power is not strong. It relies on the high temperature at the moment of explosion to incinerate enemies into gas. Diameter of half a kilometer, requires 30 seconds to activate before use. After activation, even ordinary people can perceive the danger..."

Su Xiao introduced part of Apollo's information to Doflamingo. Apollo's advantage is the large explosion range and terrifying power. The disadvantage is the long activation time and high cost.

"If used for large-scale war, you can completely activate Apollo half a kilometer away and then use throwing tools to throw it at the enemy. This can have a very strong killing effect."

Su Xiao didn't worry that Doflamingo would refuse Apollo. The other party was in a bitter battle with the Big Mom Pirates. Although there was the Beasts Pirates to help, the Beasts Pirates were not good people either.

Although the Beasts Pirates came to help, they wouldn't help Doflamingo completely block the Big Mom faction. The result the Beasts Pirates most wanted to see was Doflamingo's faction being beaten to a pulp by Big Mom, after which they could only rely on the Beasts Pirates, or even be annexed by the Beasts Pirates and become puppets.

Doflamingo also knew this, which put more pressure on him. He had to hold off the Big Mom Pirates and also guard against 'allies'.

As for distributing artificial Devil Fruits to the Big Mom Pirates, this was also impossible. First of all, the Beasts Pirates wouldn't agree, and might even turn against them directly. Secondly, the production of artificial Devil Fruits was too low to be distributed to two Four Emperors.

Only if Doflamingo's faction survived this disaster could he conduct relatively fair cooperation with the Beasts Pirates.

The only good news at the moment was that the New World situation was turbulent. Some people rumored that the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander, Fire Fist Ace, had been captured by the Navy.

Recently, many big things happened in the Whitebeard Pirates. Fourth Division Commander Thatch was killed by a companion. The killer betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates and his whereabouts were unknown.

Not only that, but the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, who had intricate relations with the Whitebeard Pirates, was also captured. You must know that Jinbe was a Warlord of the Sea. The Navy capturing Jinbe was something everyone couldn't figure out.

Problems occurred within the Whitebeard Pirates. The other three Four Emperors keenly sensed this. Kaido and Big Mom had long coveted Whitebeard's territory. Three days ago, Big Mom's subordinates arrived at Fish-Man Island and met King Neptune. In the end, both sides parted on bad terms.

Just when everyone thought Whitebeard would aim his spear at Big Mom, Whitebeard was surprisingly silent. The silence of this sea overlord made the New World chaotic like a pot of porridge.

If the danger level of the New World was 10 when the plot protagonist Luffy entered the New World, then the danger index of the New World now was at least over 200.

In this kind of environment, Doflamingo only wanted to preserve his own strength. However, Big Mom had her eyes on the artificial Devil Fruits.

Doflamingo was smarter than most pirates. He knew that now was not the time to grab territory. The situation at the moment was nothing more than two results: one was that the Whitebeard Pirates successfully survived the crisis and continued to be the sea overlord, and the second was that this giant, Whitebeard, collapsed suddenly, which was the time to grab territory.

"The cost of this thing... to what extent will it be high?"

Doflamingo had already thought of Apollo's strategic value. It was unlikely to completely defeat the Big Mom Pirates with this thing, but it was very possible to beat back the Big Mom faction. If there was an opportunity to drop a few Apollos on Big Mom's Whole Cake Island...

"Not to mention the cost, if you can detonate a few Apollos in Big Mom's territory, she won't come to provoke you again in the next few years, and Kaido's cooperation attitude will also be much more sincere."

Su Xiao tossed the Apollo in his hand. Seeing this scene, Doflamingo's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. He could clearly perceive that if this thing exploded, the only two people who could survive in the villa were two.

"I am more concerned about the cost issue."

The smile on Doflamingo's face faded. He leaned on the sofa with a relaxed expression and crossed his legs. This was the appearance he usually had when negotiating cooperation.

Su Xiao's brows furrowed. Doflamingo kept caring about the cost issue, which made him a bit of a headache. The cost of Apollo was actually not too high, but the materials it required were hard to find. Even the World Government could only find two copies in a short time.

"Sun wreckage, fire gold, soul..."

Su Xiao just wanted to say soul crystal, but he suddenly thought that people in the Pirate World didn't know what soul crystal was. He simply took out a soul crystal (medium).

"Plus this kind of crystal."

Su Xiao not only took out a soul crystal but also took out small pieces of sun wreckage and fire gold from the storage space.

Doflamingo was silent. The reason was very simple. Aside from the soul crystal, he hadn't seen the other two materials at all. No, he hadn't even heard of them.

"Wait for me for ten minutes."

Doflamingo took out a Den Den Mushi and got up to walk out of the room. In less than ten minutes, he returned to the room.

"There is no problem with the raw materials. I want this technology. In return, I will help you solve the trouble of the World Government and CP departments."

Doflamingo's request was very 'blatant'. He directly wanted the technology. It seemed he didn't want to suffer the bitterness of technology monopoly.

"Can."

Su Xiao answered very crisply. Doflamingo immediately had a premonition that things were not good.

Doflamingo wanted the technology to manufacture Apollo? Su Xiao certainly wouldn't be stingy. He had already modified Apollo several times. Aside from him, no second person could understand the design blueprint of Apollo.
