Chapter 74: Marquis Warban: I'll Take You to Raid an Aircraft Carrier
Marquis Warban's eyebrows twitched several times; he gave the White Beard a deep look, his voice taking on a hint of lowness and hoarseness.
"White Beard, do you understand what level of weapon an aircraft carrier is?" White Beard nodded. "Of course I know! Earlier I asked my daughter Black Cat, and it is said that the cost of one heavy aircraft carrier is 3.5 billion US dollars!"
"Over there, the price of even one Devil Fruit is at least 100 million Berries."
"Generally five or six hundred million."
"If I trade three or five hundred Devil Fruits, I should be able to exchange for an aircraft carrier, right?"
Speaking to this point, White Beard also hesitated.
Prices in different worlds vary; White Beard had long known this.
After a moment's hesitation, White Beard continued: "If you feel this price is not suitable, we can continue to negotiate."
After seeing the photos of the aircraft carrier that his daughter Black Cat had privately sent him, White Beard's heart surged with excitement.
At that very moment, he formed an idea.
How wonderful it would be if he could possess an aircraft carrier—an aircraft carrier, even more magnificent than his Moby Dick.
Since his heart was moved, then act.
This was White Beard's code of conduct.
For pirates drifting upon the seas, a good ship was undoubtedly crucial.
No matter how great the cost, he would willingly pay it.
Marquis Vane covered his forehead and finally let out a helpless, long sigh.
After pondering for a moment, his expression returned to cold indifference, and he waved his hand casually.
He sighed again.
"Alright, alright... once this mission is over... I'll go ask you for an aircraft carrier."
Pausing slightly, Marquis Vane continued, "As for the Devil Fruit... you'd better keep it yourself."
Those in the guild who had been watching the live stream saw this and were all shocked.
Tony NotTheRichestMan: "...Wait... did I just hear Marquis Vane say he was going to gift an aircraft carrier... What the hell! Gifting an aircraft carrier! I must not be awake yet."
Tony NotTheRichestMan: "So old man Vane is actually that rich?"
Tony Stark was dumbfounded.
As the richest man in the American comic world, he lacked the confidence of Marquis Vane, who could simply gift an aircraft carrier on a whim.
Even at this moment, Tony Stark felt an illusion: Could it be that he wasn't the richest man after all?
The truth was, he was actually quite poor. Black Hair White: "I feel the same... Old man Vane is really rich! An aircraft carrier worth billions of dollars, given away as if it were nothing..."
People from modern society truly find it hard to comprehend the shock of gifting an aircraft carrier over a trivial matter.
Accelerator: "Hah... what foolish words are you speaking? Do you really think Marquis Vane needs to pay money to get an aircraft carrier?"
Black Hair White: "...What do you mean?" Although she didn't like Accelerator, Black Hair White still felt her curiosity piqued.
She really wanted to hear about that... free operation from Accelerator's mouth.
Accelerator: "If I were Marquis Vane, I would go to those few countries in Western Europe that possess aircraft carriers, station myself at their ports, and demand they present me with an aircraft carrier! If they refuse, I will destroy all their aircraft carriers."
Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Black Cat Clan: "..."
Fourth Hokage: "..."
Time-Space Controller Akemi Homura: "..."
Damn it! Besides buying with money, there is another method. I am a Marquis: "Accelerator."
Truly worthy of being called a villain! Your thoughts are exactly like mine."
Black Hair White: "This, this, this... isn't this just robbery!"
Black Hair White felt a bit dizzy.
Publicly revealing a plan to rob an aircraft carrier back... this was too thrilling.
I am a Marquis: "If I were to start a war against a God of Rebellion within a city! One battle could destroy an entire city; how much would it cost to rebuild it?"
I am a Marquis: "But even so, no one has ever asked me for a single penny."
Marquis Vane exuded overwhelming dominance.
As a God Slayer, he was... capable of doing whatever he pleased.
Moreover, he indeed possessed the confidence to do whatever he pleased.
So what if it was an aircraft carrier? Even powerful hegemonic nations would have to give it up if he wanted it.
Whitebeard felt that the gift Marquis Vane gave him was too extravagant, but considering Marquis Vane's pride, he said nothing more.
After a moment of silence, he made up his mind in his heart: in the upcoming mission, if Marquis Vane needed his help, he would give it his all.
At this moment.
Su Han stood on the deck; suddenly, he turned his head around.
His Observation Haki spread toward the distance; soon, his frown relaxed, and he glanced at Marquis Vane with a strange look.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.
"Old man, there is good news and bad news."
Which one do you want to hear first?"
Marquis Vane paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Su Han, somewhat puzzled: "What good news? What bad news... Never mind, tell me the good news first."
"The good news is........."
Su Han paused, "I think our target, that... God Slayer Transmigrator, should have already been found."
"Is that so?"
Marquis Vane's eyes lit up instantly, and he chuckled evilly.
"That's fine; it saves me from searching the whole world for that guy's intelligence... By the way, what is the bad news?"
Marquis Vane only asked casually.
However, a hint of hesitation appeared on Su Han's face.
"The bad news is, if you don't hurry over! And still hope to sit back and reap the benefits... I feel your two divine pillars might fly away."
Marquis Vane: ""
Whitebeard paused for a moment, then released his own Observation Haki, spreading it toward Sardinia Island.
Soon, he understood exactly what had happened, and his expression took on a strange look.
Hesitating for a moment, he looked at Marquis Vane and spoke.
"That... God Slayer named Lu Feiming seems to have already landed on Sardinia Island... He is preparing to slaughter those two divine pillars."
What! After realizing this, Marquis Vane's face turned green in an instant.
He had traveled thousands of miles to come here for these two divine pillars.
In fact, he had specially hired a cruise ship and drifted at sea for three days.
Having expended such great effort and cost, the gods were already within his grasp! Now someone wanted to intercept them halfway. This was simply an unparalleled humiliation.
Marquis Vane let out a low roar, "He dares!"
Terrifying cursed energy erupted; even though he was not skilled in magic.
But the very word "God Slayer" meant that Marquis Vane's cursed energy was vast, reaching nearly infinite limits.
The next moment, the Marquis of Vauban's figure shifted slightly, dissolving into a lingering afterimage before vanishing completely.
