Chapter 1289

Su Xiao held a quill in his hand and started writing and drawing on paper. The technological level of the Pirate World was so strange that they had invented firearms and cannons, yet they were still using this relatively backward quill.

A moment later, Su Xiao handed several sheets of paper filled with various array diagrams to Doflamingo. Doflamingo took the paper and watched it repeatedly several times, occasionally looking at Su Xiao.

Not to mention the alchemy array diagrams on the paper, Doflamingo didn't even understand the strange characters on the paper. He was surprised to find that on these few sheets of paper scribbled into a mess, he didn't even know what the punctuation marks on them represented.

"The World Government hasn't obtained this technology yet?"

Doflamingo dropped the paper in his hand. He had investigated Su Xiao's background, but he hadn't found out what Su Xiao was manufacturing for the World Government.

"You can go find others to try. My last cooperation partner was named Dr. Vegapunk. When I looked at his experimental data, I felt like I was reading a heavenly book. I believe that when he looked at my explosive blueprints, it was the same feeling."

Su Xiao's meaning was very clear: Dr. Vegapunk couldn't crack this Apollo blueprint, so you should give up as early as possible.

"Vegapunk..."

Doflamingo certainly knew Dr. Vegapunk, but he wouldn't completely believe Su Xiao's words.

"In other words, if I want to obtain this kind of bomb, I can never bypass you?"

"You can understand it that way, but when I manufacture bombs, I can let any researcher watch."

"No need."

Doflamingo picked up the blueprints on the table and tore them up in front of Su Xiao.

"Before beating back Big Mom, I can cooperate with you, but what do I need to pay?"

"Use your identity to help me block the Navy, World Government, and CP departments."

"I am just a Warlord of the Sea; I don't have such great power."

"The CP departments actually don't dare to set foot in the territory of a Warlord of the Sea. Is this something a Warlord of the Sea can do?"

Su Xiao looked at Doflamingo with a smile. Just at this moment, Doflamingo suddenly stood up, Armament Haki wrapped around his leg, and he kicked toward Su Xiao's face.

Zing.

The long blade was unsheathed and slashed straight toward Doflamingo's lower leg.

Boom!

An impact spread out, and the glass windows of the villa shattered with a boom.

"Ah~"

A short scream came. Amu, who was standing behind Sugar, grabbed her head, while Bubu Wang bit Sugar's arm, and Sugar's other arm was also grabbed by Amu.

As long as Amu's hand exerted force, Sugar's head would be crushed.

Rumble...

The entire villa started to shake. Pica had disappeared. As a Stone-Stone Fruit ability user, he could merge into any stone.

Click, click.

Large cracks appeared on the ground beneath Su Xiao's feet, and pale blue ghostly light emerged on his body surface. This was a sign that he was about to open the Hunter Moment.

"Fufufufufu."

Doflamingo laughed loudly, veins popping on his forehead.

"Who told you."

Doflamingo's words were somewhat ambiguous. In fact, he was asking who told Su Xiao about his identity as a Celestial Dragon.

"I was considered a middle-to-high-level person in the World Government before. I certainly know some secrets. The Pacifista project, the perfection of artificial Devil Fruits, I have participated in, not to mention that matter."

"Perfection of artificial Devil Fruits?"

Doflamingo looked at Su Xiao in confusion. The two sat back on the sofa, and Amu also let go of Sugar, who was so angry that her eyes were rolling.

"Is it very surprising? The artificial Devil Fruits developed by Dr. Vegapunk are far from being comparable to the semi-finished products imitated by Caesar Clown. That kind of garbage manufactured by Caesar Clown is better called simulating the Devil Fruit ability of the Zoan type by letting the user's body part animalize, rather than artificial Devil Fruits. Dr. Vegapunk's research results are much more brilliant, but that kind of fruit also has defects: the user's lifespan is greatly reduced, the ability goes out of control, etc."

Su Xiao was obviously fooling Doflamingo. To fool people, you need capital. Su Xiao did participate in the Pacifista project, which was the modification of Kuma.

Most of the weapons were designed by him. As for artificial Devil Fruits, he had learned about this information from Dr. Vegapunk. The reward was the composition principle of some alchemy bombs.

Su Xiao couldn't manufacture artificial Devil Fruits. Alchemy and the technology of the Pirate World were not the same knowledge system, but he understood artificial Devil Fruits. As the developer of artificial Devil Fruits, Dr. Vegapunk's understanding of artificial Devil Fruits was not comparable to Caesar Clown or Vinsmoke Judge and others.

"So, you can manufacture artificial Devil Fruits?"

Doflamingo couldn't hold back. He finally understood why the World Government was looking for Su Xiao all over the world and issued a wanted order that only allowed live capture.

"Of course not."

"..."

Doflamingo's eye corners twitched.

"I am responsible for the weapon aspect. Artificial Zoan fruits are genes and bloodline factors. The two are simply not in the same field. I just understand."

"In other words, you are only good at manufacturing weapons?"

"You can understand it that way."

Su Xiao had already shown his own value. Doflamingo also figured out Su Xiao's purpose for coming here. To achieve cooperation, both sides of the cooperation must be based on mutual utilization. It sounded very blatant, but in reality, that was how it was.

Doflamingo urgently needed to beat back the Big Mom Pirates, so the cooperation between the two sides was quickly negotiated.

First, Su Xiao would help the Donquixote Family manufacture Apollo. Su Xiao possessed the ownership of Apollo, while the Donquixote Family possessed the right to use, the right to requisition, and the right to sell Apollo.

In name, the Apollo manufactured by Su Xiao was his personal property, while the Donquixote Family was a 'business partner' with great rights.

This request proposed by Su Xiao made Doflamingo a bit confused. He didn't understand why Su Xiao was obsessed with the ownership of Apollo.

"By the way, you also need to prepare other materials. The cost of Apollo is too high to be used as a conventional explosive. In war, this thing is actually more practical."

Su Xiao took out a special-grade alchemy bomb. Seeing this bomb, even with Doflamingo's composure, he stood up with a whoosh.

"This is... manufactured by you?!"

It was very obvious that Doflamingo had seen special-grade alchemy bombs, or rather, in his secret battles with the Navy, his subordinates were almost blown to shit by 'special-grade alchemy bombs'. This thing was not easy to be discovered, and it could be stuck to most objects, and what was even more shameless was that it could be remotely detonated.

Doflamingo had obtained alchemy bombs through various channels before. Unfortunately, this thing seemed to be unique to the World Government, Navy, and CP departments. Outsiders simply had no channels.

"That's right. I manufactured a lot for the Navy before."

"..."

Doflamingo was silent. At this moment, Su Xiao was no longer a partner in his eyes, but a plague god. A certain usage method of alchemy bombs had greatly reduced the casualties of the Navy.

That usage method was to send soldiers to infiltrate the sea and stick the alchemy bombs to the bottom of the enemy ship. This thing didn't fear seawater at all and could even explode in the sea.

In a naval battle, one side's ship was blown out with a large hole, and the result could be imagined. Not only that, but the price of alchemy bombs was also very low.

"This thing... you can manufacture it on a large scale, right?"

"Of course, and the cost is lower than you imagine."

"..."

Doflamingo was silent again. A few seconds later, he made a decision in his heart.
