Chapter 310: Probing

Looking at Kalifa, who was somewhat annoyed and angry, Su Xiao didn't show any expression. The acquisition of the Six Powers "Shave" put him in a great mood.

"No need to be excited, it's just two bombs. You can try to find someone to help you take them out, but let me remind you: anyone other than me touching those two bombs will trigger an explosion."

Su Xiao wasn't fear-mongering. Both alchemy bombs were in a semi-activated state; as long as he felt something was wrong, he would detonate the alchemy bombs immediately.

This was to prevent trouble before it happened. There were a total of four secret agents lurking in Water 7, three of whom were in the Galley-La Company, and one had opened a tavern in Water 7, working from the inside and outside with the three in the Galley-La Company.

The secret agent who opened the tavern was named Blueno, proficient in body techniques. More importantly, Blueno was a Devil Fruit ability user: the Door-Door Fruit.

Door-Door Fruit: Paramecia, can open a door when touching any object—air, walls, human bodies, and even flames.

Su Xiao was worried about one thing: Kalifa would go find Blueno, and Blueno would use the Door-Door Fruit ability to open a door on Kalifa's body, relying on the fruit ability to open Kalifa's stomach without injury, thereby taking out the alchemy bombs.

Su Xiao would naturally consider this situation, so he kept the alchemy bombs semi-activated, ready to detonate at any time if he discovered something wrong.

If Blueno dared to take out the bombs, he would likely be blown to death along with Kalifa.

Kalifa had indeed considered this point, so she hadn't dared to act rashly. She clearly felt that the bombs in her stomach were wrong, so she only dared to drink liquids and didn't eat harder food.

"Detonate if you want, don't even think about getting the Six Powers from me again."

Kalifa's attitude was firm. Taking out the training method for Shave was already against CP9 rules, but she had been lurking in Water 7 for a full five years and really couldn't bear the mission failing.

"You got one thing wrong."

"What?" Kalifa looked at Su Xiao in confusion.

"Why are you hostile to me? Think back carefully."

Su Xiao's words made Kalifa fall into thought. That's right, how did the two become hostile? Earlier, they clearly had no connection.

"Because... that bottle of poison."

"Right, so I'm not interested in whether you are a secret agent or some other identity. I was shipwrecked at sea and drifted to Water 7 just wanting to recuperate. It was you who took the initiative to be hostile to me. Don't say you were forced to swallow a few bombs; I haven't killed you, which is already showing mercy."

Although Kalifa felt that what Su Xiao said made some sense, she always felt something was wrong. She started to recall all the encounters after meeting Su Xiao.

First, she was wrapped by a kind of metal wire in a shameful way, then she was pressed to the ground and rubbed (stuffed with explosives), recovered her freedom after the rubbing, and then was blackmailed + molested at the banquet.

The more Kalifa thought, the more depressed she became. She finally realized what was wrong: she had always been playing the role of the victim.

"I won't believe your nonsense again, you liar full of lies."

Su Xiao ate meat and drank alcohol in large gulps. The food in the Pirate World had high calories, and the physical strength he consumed during the day's battle was gradually recovering.

"A liar? Say whatever you want, but... are the other two bombs in your stomach really irrelevant?"

The topic returned to the bombs. Kalifa was very sad; she felt that if she didn't pay something today, she definitely wouldn't be able to get away.

Kalifa said through gritted teeth: "State... your request."

"Didn't I tell you earlier? One Six Powers move for one bomb."

Su Xiao burped and lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag. A cigarette after a meal was very satisfying.

"Why are you obsessed with the Six Powers? Can't it be something else?"

It seemed Kalifa wouldn't hand over the Six Powers again.

Sensing this, Su Xiao said half-jokingly: "Okay, come to my room to warm the bed tonight."

"O... kay."

Su Xiao was stunned. Kalifa actually agreed!

"Don't look at me like that. To complete the mission, I can pay this price. Don't worry, I'm very clean."

Su Xiao waved his hand.

"I don't have the habit of forcing women to do this."

Great Grade 21 Swords: The famous twenty-one swords in the Pirate World, each one is a legendary sword.

Weapons in the Pirate World are divided into three grades: Skillful Grade 50 Swords, Great Grade 21 Swords, and Supreme Grade 12 Swords.

The possibility of obtaining a Supreme Grade 12 Sword wasn't high. Su Xiao wanted to obtain a Great Grade 21 Sword; in fact, obtaining a Great Grade 21 Sword was also very difficult.

"Are you joking?" Kalifa was stunned after hearing Su Xiao's request.

"What?"

"Each Great Grade 21 Sword is a rare treasure. I'm just a secret agent; it's impossible to obtain that kind of famous sword. Compared to this request, going to your room to warm the bed at night is easier to accept."

Su Xiao curled his lips. Letting a secret agent go to his room to warm the bed at night was an act of extreme brain-deadness. Although Kalifa was a sexy little secretary, she was a highly poisonous rose.

"Since a Great Grade 21 Sword is impossible... then a Skillful Grade 50 Sword."

Kalifa still wanted to bargain but was interrupted by Su Xiao.

"Put a Skillful Grade 50 Sword in front of me within four days. Remember, it must be a weapon of this scale."

Su Xiao pointed at Dragon Flash. After all, the Pirate World didn't distinguish between swords and blades. If Kalifa went through all the trouble to get a sword, it would be awkward.

"Why should I believe you?"

"You have no choice."

"I... will try my best."

Getting Kalifa's reply, Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand. Not killing Kalifa earlier was indeed the correct choice; Kalifa alive was far more useful than dead.

"As a reward, I allow you to eat today."

Su Xiao snapped his fingers, and the activity of the alchemy bomb decreased.

"Humiliation..."

Kalifa took a plate of steak through gritted teeth, chewing hard with every bite, as if that were Su Xiao.

"Bastard."

Kalifa whispered.

"What?"

Su Xiao looked at Kalifa with burning eyes.

"Nothing, saying you are handsome and dashing."

Kalifa's conscience hurt; she had said something very insincere.

"If I hear similar words next time, I'll treat you to another 'Exploding Fetal I Ching Pill' for free."

Kalifa was dumbfounded. She didn't know what an "Exploding Fetal I Ching Pill" was, but she vaguely guessed it should be a bomb.

What does it feel like to have a bomb in your stomach that could explode at any time? The answer is very sad. From today on, the color Kalifa hated most became white—the color of "chewing gum."

The banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere; at least Su Xiao was in a good mood.

The drunken shipwrights sang loudly as they left the banquet hall, and Su Xiao also left after being full of wine and food.

Outside the banquet hall, Kalifa stood in a dark corner, waiting for her companions.

"What's going on?"

A man's voice came from behind Kalifa, with some unkindness in his tone.

"I swallowed three bombs, already processed one, and the remaining two bombs are in my stomach."

Kalifa sighed.

"Can they be taken out by cutting open the stomach?"

"Not... not sure."

"Go find Blueno; he has a way."

The man never showed his face from beginning to end; it was Rob Lucci. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
