"You mean Saatchi's No. 4 ship?"
Igor knew that this short message was worth a thousand gold. He had to ask for all the details.
Although it was just a simple clue, Tiki had spent twenty-five years waiting for this chance.
The fourth team of the White Beard Pirates was responsible for logistics and food. The captain was Head Chef Saatchi.
Saatchi was a captain with both culinary skills and strength. Half a month ago, he defeated a pirate group with the strength of a ship.
Could it be that the fourth team had found a secret fruit among the countless treasures when they were looting the enemy ships?
"That's right. A month ago, I found out that the Black Pearl Pirates had obtained a treasure suspected to be the Fruit of Concealment. They made up an excuse to encourage Ace to attack their territory. They chased after them for half a month before they found their main ship.”
Although the Black Pearl Pirates plundered everywhere, they had never done anything to the powerful White Beard Pirates.
After knowing that the fruit had fallen into his hands, Tiki used the excuse that the other party had robbed White Beard's territory to instigate Ace to start a war.
Tiki had played the role of a think tank in the second team for many years and was deeply trusted by everyone. Ace did not hesitate to attack the other party.
"I didn't expect that just as victory was about to be won, Team Four would beat us to it. I could only watch as Saatchi found the Dark Fruit from the ship and proudly kept it on his own ship!”
Tiki couldn't hide his anger as he clenched his fists.
Igor sighed. In the two years he had been helping the second team, he had learned a lot about the unspoken rules here.
On the surface, the 16 squads were a family, but after White Beard fell ill, they had long been united on the surface but were actually at odds with each other.
"So Saatchi is also eyeing the fruit of darkness!”
From Tiki's words, Igor could even feel that Saatchi had been waiting for him and would appear at the critical moment to take down his target.
According to the iron rule set by White Beard, the first person to obtain any spoils of war had the right to use them.
It was no wonder Tiki was so excited that he couldn't even suppress his unwillingness. After all, this was an opportunity that he had been waiting for more than 20 years.
"Tiki, I'll go with you to retrieve the fruit.”
Tiki looked at Igor suspiciously. From Igor's face, he could tell that Igor was indignant and determined to fight back.
Tiki was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he calmly moved his new arm and stood up to face Igor.
Tiki's naturally huge body was like a mountain in front of the young man. Tiki was more than twice as tall as Igor, and he once again looked down from above.
"Bastard, Ige, I need a reason to cooperate.”
Although it was clear that the two of them were on the same side, Tiki was a person who only cared about profits and never believed in words.
His gaze toward Igor became treacherous and sinister again. It was obvious that the two of them needed a deal.
Igor smiled. He wasn't surprised because Tiki's greed was part of his plan.
"Tiki, do you remember what this is?”
Igor reached into his pure black night clothes and took out a mottled yellow book from his chest and handed it to the man.
"Why do you have the Demon Fruit Illustrated Book?”
Although the paper was old and dry, Tiki was familiar with the cover and the picture.
When he was ten years old, Tiki used to work as a child laborer in a noble's house to make a living. When he was tidying up the room, he accidentally found the Devil's Fruit Illustrated Book.
Every day, other than working, he spent the rest of his time memorizing the content in his mind.
From then on, his young heart was filled with ambition. He continued to piece together blueprints and officially started Tiki's long-term plan.
This kind of extremely rare book was knowledge that was blocked by the government. Only a few nobles had it. It actually appeared in Igor's hands.
"I'll give this book to you. Also..."
Igor used the demonic fruit illustration as a bargaining chip. He was sure Tiki would be impressed by it and agree with his methods.
Moreover, for a schemer like Tiki, this book could be used as a guide for searching for fruits and hunting aptitude users.
Apart from that, Igor had another bargaining chip that could tempt Tiki to cooperate with him.
"I will give you Saatchi's head in exchange for what you want from the World Government!”
Tiki's eyes were filled with shock, then excitement and satisfaction.
Igor's benefits were also an important part of Tiki's plan to dominate the sea. Igor was really what he wanted.
Killing Team 4's leader, Saatchi, would relieve Tiki's hatred, but it would also cause him to commit a huge taboo and form a blood feud with White Beard.
It was better to kill two birds with one stone. He would get the secret fruit and take Saatchi's head.
The head of the strongest of the Four Emperors, the captain of the White Beard Pirates.
If he handed it over to the navy, it would be enough to obtain unimaginable rewards. It might even be the title of Seven Martial Seas!
"Thief hahahaha, deal!"
Tiki laughed maniacally as he grabbed the Demon Fruit Illustrated Book and stuffed it into his arms.
Tiki's fear of this young man was hidden under his forthright smile.
The fruit guide and Saatchi's head were just superficial benefits. He also treated the secret fruit as his own.
After a round of confrontation, they formed an alliance of evil with intertwined interests and ulterior motives!
At the same time, Igor also looked at Tiki who was laughing and smiled.
