Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Cooperation!

"I can, as long as you provide the Devil Fruits!"

Obito's answer was very crisp, almost blurted out without thinking.

Hearing this, the Empress was stunned for nearly three seconds before reacting and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think I would believe that? That's an Admiral."

"So what? A mere Admiral, what is there to worry about?"

The Empress sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Such arrogance. To belittle the highest combat power of Marine Headquarters as worthless?"

"Not worthless... In your eyes, an Admiral is unattainable, but in our eyes, they are not invincible. As long as the price is paid, we can even kill an Admiral."

With the Hero-King possessing the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, using a causality-altering Noble Phantasm to kill an Admiral was not impossible.

It was just that Rex's own stamina was limited, and he didn't know if he could support such a massive energy release.

After all, releasing the Vajra last time had consumed quite a bit of Rex's energy.

"We... are you an organization? A pirate crew?"

"Woman, asking too much is not good for you."

"Since you want me to provide Devil Fruits, you should prove that you have the strength. Just saying you can defeat an Admiral with empty words, who knows if it's true or false? Do you think it's possible to make me work for you with such an empty promise?"

"Hehe, you're not stupid!"

Saying this, Obito suddenly took out a wanted poster and threw it to the Empress, speaking at the same time.

"How much do you know about the Impel Down riot?"

"The Impel Down riot..."

The Empress muttered.

She naturally knew about this matter.

The impregnable underwater prison was breached. It was said to be the work of one man, named the Hero-King, with a bounty of 800 million Beri from the World Government.

The wanted poster Obito took out now clearly bore the image of the Hero-King.

At this moment, the Empress couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

"The Hero-King is one of your people?"

"Naturally. You are the first person in the world to know this information... It should be enough to express my sincerity."

"What is the name of this organization?"

"Don't push your luck, woman! It's not good for you."

Hearing this, the Empress fell silent, thinking about something.

First, she speculated about Uchiha Obito's organization. At this stage, she knew of two members: the Hero-King and...

The Hero-King's strength was unquestionable. Being acknowledged by the World Government was enough to prove the organization's power.

Secondly, the Empress wanted to know to what extent they would go for Devil Fruits.

Finally, Obito knew the secret on the Empress's back. She had to agree; otherwise, if the secret was revealed, she couldn't bear the consequences.

After thinking for a moment, the Empress seemed to have made up her mind and nodded.

"Fine, I can cooperate with you!"

"Hmph, you're not stupid!"

"Then... if an Admiral attacks, how many Devil Fruits will it take to defeat them?"

"One is enough!"

"One... one!?"

The Empress was stunned.

That's an Admiral. Can you defeat them just because you say so?

The Empress had intended to bargain, but there was no room for it. At the same time, it indirectly showed the terror of the organization Uchiha Obito belonged to, if they could really do it.

"That's right, one is enough."

"Fine, then I will wait and see!"

"Hehe, is that necessary? You will join the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' eventually anyway. You can't protect Amazon Lily alone. If you refuse, you will face a catastrophe."

"You don't need to worry about that. I just want to test if this mysterious organization has the strength."

"Unnecessary."

Obito smiled and said no more. As long as he got the Devil Fruits, it was fine.

"Alright, it's about time to go out."

With that, the space warped into a spiral shape. The next moment, Obito and the Empress were sucked in and disappeared from the dimension.

At this moment, in the Bath Palace, Sandersonia and Marigold had already prepared two Devil Fruits and were waiting.

However, seeing no sign of Uchiha Obito, they were anxious.

"What do we do? What if that guy doesn't show up?"

"There's no other way... we just have to wait a bit longer. If it really doesn't work, we'll just have to search slowly."

They didn't dare to make it public, as it involved the secret of the back.

Just as the two were anxious.

Space warped, and the Empress flew out of the void.

Seeing this, Sandersonia and Marigold's faces lit up with joy, and they caught the Empress.

"Elder Sister!!"

Sandersonia quickly took out a cloak and draped it over the naked Empress, covering the mark on her back.

"Elder Sister, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!!"

"Alright, give me the Devil Fruits!"

Obito looked at the three and said calmly.

"You bastard, you still want the Devil Fruits?"

Seeing Obito, Sandersonia and Marigold instantly exploded with rage, rushing up to attack.

"Enough, Sandersonia, Marigold. Stop."
