Just as the auction for the treasure map at the entrance of the tavern was in full swing, on a naval warship in the waters of Windmill Town, Karp was using a phone bug to talk to Sengoku.
After listening to Karp's detailed report, Sengoku was in a bad mood.
"What?! I repeat, even you can't take down that treasure merchant!”
Zhan Guo shouted in shock.
As Sengoku's exclamation was too loud, Karp naturally turned his head to avoid his noise.
"Zhan Guo, calm down. Not only me, but the entire navy headquarters can't do it unless you can restrict that kid's spatial movement ability.”Karp said solemnly.
"Is it that difficult? Can you confirm if the treasure map is real? What if it's fake?”
Zhan Guo frowned and hesitated. Although the Steel Skeleton Army had promised to give him full responsibility for this matter, one billion Bailey was not a small amount. Think about it, the annual military expenditure of the Navy Headquarters was less than ten billion Bailey.
In the end, under Karp's coaxing and pestering, the warring states finally decided to agree to the other party's request.
"I hope you made the right choice. If Locks 'treasure is real, then one billion Bailey is worth it. Maybe there are ancient relics in the treasure.”Zhan Guo said with a heavy expression.
In fact, Zhan Guo was still very worried. After all, the succession to the position of admiral had just been settled. If he lost one billion Bailey at this time, the matter of the clergy would probably go far.
However, he could only listen to Karp and test the waters first.
……
At this moment, outside the tavern.
Because the price of the treasure map was too high, many pirates began to complain again, and most of the nobles could only sigh.
"One billion Bailey. All of our heads added together are not worth this price!”
"This is no longer a matter of money. It's simply a matter of life and death!”
"With this money, I can buy an island and become king. Isn't this too much?”
……
"Cough cough, cut the crap. Let me remind you that I have the second portion of Locks 'treasure.”Ye Chen said calmly.
"There are two sets of Locks 'treasure!" Hearing this, Doflemingo's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"Hehe, maybe there are more than two.”Ye Chen said calmly.
Hearing this, Domingo's breathing quickened. His blood was boiling. He just wanted to get the treasure map as soon as possible.
At the same time, all the pirates and most of the nobles were unable to calm down. They no longer had any complaints and racked their brains to think of how to exchange for the treasure map.
However, the king of the Goa Kingdom was ready to make a bid, but he was stopped by someone with ulterior motives.
Boom!
A powerful energy was spreading outside the tavern, and more than half of the thousands of pirates instantly fell.
It turned out that Doflemenco was using his Conqueror's Domination to intimidate them.
"I want this treasure map." Doframenco said coldly.
The bounty of 300 million Bailey on Doflemingo's head represented the strength and status of a pirate. Before he became a member of the Seven Martial Seas, 1 billion Bailey was almost half of his net worth.
He couldn't resist the temptation of Locks 'treasure. How brave was it to make Doframenco spend half of his fortune to buy this treasure map?
Moreover, he did not have any evil thoughts.
The reason was very simple. The intelligence network of the Don Quijote Family knew that Karp had come to the tavern this morning. However, Ye Chen was safe and sound now. It was obvious that Ye Chen was someone he could not afford to offend.
Therefore, he decisively chose to purchase the treasure map through legitimate channels.
As for using Conqueror's Color to intimidate the small fries, it did not affect Ye Chen's sale of the treasure map. Perhaps there were a few nobles among these people who could afford this price.
However, if they could not keep the treasure map, it would only delay the time to dig out the treasure. It was even a problem if they did not have the ability to dig out the treasure. After all, this was a gold-tier legendary treasure.
Considering all these factors, selling the treasure map to Doflemingo was a good choice.
……
"Deal!" Ye Chen finally agreed.
However, just as he was one step away from completing the transaction, Karp suddenly appeared. With a whoosh, he blocked Doframingo's path.
"Wait!" Karp said coldly.
"Karp!" Doflemingo looked solemn. He didn't expect someone to come out of nowhere.
" Sea, sea, navy hero!"
"Oh my god, hurry up and leave!"
In front of these pirate minions, Karp was like a nightmare. Therefore, after he appeared, several pirate groups chose to retreat.
Seeing this, Ye Chen knew that there must be more to this matter, so he decided to go back to the tavern and slowly discuss it. Karp and Dofranmingo followed him in.
The pirates and nobles could only stop outside the tavern because they knew that the treasure map had nothing to do with them anymore.
……
"I'll buy this treasure map.”Karp said calmly.
"This is already mine!" Dofranmingo's face was livid, and he refused to give in even in front of Karp.
"Do you want to go to jail?" Karp said with a serious expression.
"Shameless, you're threatening me.”With a ferocious expression on his face, how could he be willing to let someone else beat him to the deal that was about to be completed?
"That's right, I'm threatening you." Karp smiled.
He had stolen someone else's money, yet he still looked reasonable. In one sentence, he was shameless.
However, Ye Chen admired this aspect of Karp. He was incredibly thick-skinned.
At this moment, Doflemingo clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. His body trembled slightly as he tried not to attack. Then, he rolled his eyes and said,"I brought enough cash. Where's your money?”
"I need some time," Karp said with a darkened face.”
"Then there's nothing." Doflemingo was amused. He ignored Karp and turned to look at Ye Chen."Milord, you won't side with Karp, right?”
"Of course not. Karp, you're unlucky this time.”
Ye Chen said calmly to Karp, not caring about his expression at all.
Due to the time it would take to dig up the treasure, the sooner Ye Chen sold the treasure map, the better. It did not matter who dug it up.
"Give me a minute. I'll be right back.”
Karp glared at Doflemingo, but because he was afraid of Ye Chen, he did not dare to snatch it by force. He could only report the matter to Zhan Guo.
Then, Karp hurriedly picked up the phone bug and contacted Sengoku. After a few words of discussion, he handed the phone bug to Doflemingo.
"Dolphin Mingco, I guarantee that you will become the Sea of Seven Martial Arts and give us the treasure.”On the other end of the phone, Zhan Guo said.
"Hehe, Zhan Guo, do you think I'm a fool? A mere quota for the Sea of Seven Martial Arts is more important than a big secret treasure that might be comparable to Roger's. Are you insulting my intelligence?”Without even thinking, he directly mocked the other party.
The conversation failed, and Zhan Guo was filled with anger. He directly shouted at the phone bug,"Believe it or not, I'll immediately get Karp to arrest you!”
"I believe you, but you don't dare to fight in this tavern. Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking nonsense with me. Fu fu…Goodbye!”After saying that, he hung up the phone.
This action was a magnificent feat.
What was surprising was that for an unknown treasure, a pirate with a bounty of 300 million dared to provoke the two great naval legends of the Sengoku and Karp.
The most important thing was that Karp actually did not make a move directly under such circumstances. It was simply subverting his worldview!
However, this was all because Ye Chen was present. In addition, the tavern was his territory, so no one dared to be presumptuous.
It was still unknown how powerful Ye Chen was. Karp did not dare to offend him rashly. Once he did, the Navy headquarters would never be able to buy the treasure map from Ye Chen in the future. They would also never find out who was behind the auction of the treasure map.
At this moment, Karp was very aggrieved. He could clearly defeat Doflemenco with one punch, but he couldn't make a move. How infuriating!!!
