Chapter 1306: Burning Sea

Su Xiao glanced at the special-grade alchemy bomb Doflamingo took out and almost instantly understood the other party's meaning.

Su Xiao could confirm that Doflamingo hadn't revealed the existence of Apollo to Jack. This guy wanted to use Apollo as a secret weapon to resist the Big Mom Pirates' attack.

If Jack knew about the existence of Apollo, he would at least ask Doflamingo for one and send Apollo to his boss, Kaido.

"My current situation, you should all know."

Su Xiao's gaze looked at Jack. Jack didn't make a sound, meaning he had already learned of Su Xiao's situation from Doflamingo.

Su Xiao's short fight with Jack earlier seemed reckless, but in reality, it wasn't. Su Xiao knew too well how to deal with villains. If there hadn't been the short fight earlier, Jack wouldn't have had this attitude, but would have tried every means to squeeze Su Xiao's value.

Through the short fight, Jack knew Su Xiao wasn't easy to provoke. Precisely because of this, the three sat at the dining table to talk.

"Helping whom to manufacture bombs actually makes no difference to me. Rather than working for the World Government, I prefer to cooperate with pirates. After all, when cooperating with pirates, I can guarantee my own personal freedom. However..."

As soon as Su Xiao's 'however' came out, Doflamingo's heart skipped a beat. He didn't need to think to know that wanting to continue obtaining Apollo from Su Xiao wouldn't be as simple as before.

"Recently, my technology for manufacturing bombs has improved, and I can manufacture some special types of explosives."

"Special types?"

Jack looked at Doflamingo. Doflamingo waved his index finger left and right, indicating he didn't know either. In reality, he was as clear as a mirror in his heart.

"That's right, special types. As sincerity for cooperating with you all, I can manufacture ordinary types of bombs unconditionally. As for special types of bombs, that requires a certain fee."

Su Xiao hadn't researched any new types of alchemy bombs at all. The special types of bombs he spoke of referred to Apollo.

"This is fair."

Doflamingo's ominous premonition became stronger.

Jack didn't speak, indicating tacit agreement. He also felt Su Xiao was a good partner. First, Su Xiao's strength was strong enough to fight at critical moments. Su Xiao had wiped out 'Charlotte Perospero' and 'Charlotte Cracker'. Jack had fought both, and knew the strength of those two people.

"I am a person who has no interest in money. As for power, if I were keen on power, I wouldn't have broken away from the World Government."

This time, even Doflamingo showed confusion. He looked at Jack, and the two suddenly felt Su Xiao was unreliable.

Not wanting money, nor wanting status, where in the world was there such a dreamy partner?

"I am very interested in famous swords. If there are no famous swords, Devil Fruits are also acceptable, but I don't accept artificial Devil Fruits."

"Cough, cough..."

Jack was choked by the wine, and Su Xiao's next words made him dispel the idea of a 'dreamy partner'.

"For example, the 21 Great Grade Swords, I am very interested in that thing."

"..."

"..."

The banquet hall fell into dead silence. Sugar looked at Su Xiao in surprise. The meaning of that little look was clearly: 'Are you a devil, so greedy.'

"As for the specific quantity of the exchange, three special types of bombs, exchange for one 21 Great Grade Sword."

The 21 Great Grade Swords Su Xiao spoke of weren't actually only twenty-one. Great Grade Swords were just the rating of famous swords in the Pirate world.

The so-called 21 Great Grade Swords were the top 21 famous swords among the Great Grade Swords. According to the World Government's official statistics, there were at least forty Great Grade Swords in existence.

Famous swords were used for fighting. If they were used for fighting, there would be wear and tear, loss in the seabed, and even scrapping. If no more Great Grade Swords could be forged later, then Great Grade Swords would have only a few left, or even none at all. What was truly rare were the Supreme Grade Swords.

For example, in the original work, Roronoa Zoro's Skillful Grade Sword Wado Ichimonji was damaged, but Skillful Grade Swords were still 50.

Skillful Grade Sword < Great Grade Sword < Supreme Grade Sword. Su Xiao never thought he could get a Supreme Grade Sword from Doflamingo or Jack. Whether the two could get a Great Grade Sword was unknown. This thing was very rare.

"By the way, forgot to explain, the materials are your responsibility. As for the details of the transaction, these are all 'negotiable'."

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't let Doflamingo or Jack take out a Great Grade Sword immediately. That was basically impossible, and the specific situation of the transaction still needed to be discussed in detail. Three Apollos for one Great Grade Sword was his personal asking price. Doflamingo and Jack certainly wouldn't agree to this price immediately.

"I want to see the finished product."

Jack didn't refuse immediately.

"Temporarily no finished product."

"..."

Jack lost interest in special types of bombs. Don't know if he would still have this attitude after witnessing Apollo's explosion scene.

After eating his fill, Jack picked up the iron jaw on the table, put it on his chin, and left the King's Plateau after leaving a sentence 'I'm going to settle my subordinates'.

"White Night, the asking price is too high."

Doflamingo's expression wasn't very good. He only obtained two Apollos. This quantity absolutely wasn't enough for the war.

"Is that so? Then I can only temporarily stop manufacturing Apollo."

"Apollo..."

Doflamingo actually also knew that special types of bombs were Apollo. Su Xiao's cooperation earlier made him confirm one thing: compared to the Beasts Pirates, Su Xiao was more willing to cooperate with the Donquixote Family.

Su Xiao stood up and walked toward the upper floor of the villa. He didn't worry about Doflamingo refusing his asking price. The other party hadn't used Apollo yet. Once the other party tasted the sweetness, the attitude would be different.

Su Xiao returned to the fourth floor of the villa. He locked the door tightly. The third ring of the main mission he had been waiting for for a long time was finally activated.

【Promotion/Main Mission; Defense Battle (Third Ring).】

Difficulty level: lv. 37

Mission introduction: Thoroughly beat back the Big Mom Pirates and obtain 1,500 pirate reputation points.

Mission information: Promotion/Main Mission has a total of four rings.

Mission deadline: 18 natural days.

Mission reward: Soul Crystal (Large) x5, 2 real attribute points, 40,000 Paradise Coins.

Mission penalty: Forced execution.

The difficulty of the Promotion/Main Mission was directly raised from lv. 15 to lv. 37.

Su Xiao directly ignored the 1,500 pirate reputation points. Regarding thoroughly beating back the Big Mom Pirates, he was a bit confused. Was it beating the Big Mom Pirates out of the sea area near Dressrosa, or completely scattering the Big Mom Pirates' fleet?

The former was still possible, while the difficulty of the latter was raised by at least several times.

Su Xiao keenly sensed that his main mission might be different from other Third Tier contractors. Not to mention beating back the Big Mom Pirates, just that 1,500 pirate reputation points were enough to kill over 95% of Third Tier contractors.

Except for Su Xiao, the Third Tier contractor with the highest pirate reputation at the moment only had 986 pirate reputation points.

Su Xiao's mission was different from other Third Tier contractors. He actually guessed this point long ago. This mission of his was a collection of the promotion assessment mission to the Fourth Tier and the main mission. Although the goal was much clearer, the mission difficulty was greatly increased.

Su Xiao lay on the bed with a thud. He urgently needed rest now.

Don't know how long he slept, Su Xiao was awakened by a roar. At the same time, a large number of hints appeared.

【You obtain 10 pirate reputation points.】

【You obtain 1 pirate reputation point.】

【You obtain 32 pirate reputation points.】

【You obtain 6 pirate reputation points.】

The hints 'screen-cleared' instantly, with at least hundreds of lines densely packed. Su Xiao directly obtained 1,690 pirate reputation points.

Su Xiao sat up from the bed with a swoosh and pulled open the curtains. Outside the window, it was pitch black. A large area of burning flames on the coastline was particularly eye-catching, with a range of at least half a kilometer.

The Big Mom Pirates landed on the island under the cover of night. They had just landed when Doflamingo sent an Apollo over.

Sand, ships, and even seawater were burning, with large amounts of water vapor rising.

On the roof of a residential house at the edge of the Dressrosa coastline, Doflamingo looked at that large area of burning flames, his expression slightly bewildered.

"Pica, let the Sabaody Auction House start acquiring Great Grade Swords, as soon as possible."

Doflamingo stared at that large area of burning flames. The Big Mom Pirates' night raid plan failed before it was even implemented, blown back by one Apollo.
