Throughout the world, apart from a few people, there were no clues about the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Even the Four Emperors Pirates were at a loss when they saw the news.
"They didn't even put up a portrait for me."
Vladimir also saw the news. He bought a newspaper early in the morning and was now sitting in a teahouse, crossing his legs, leisurely enjoying himself.
"However, announcing it to the world so quickly is probably to warn the pirates of the New World."
Vladimir touched his chin and put himself in Sengoku's position, immediately guessing a bit, "It seems that the Navy is also in a miserable state. 12 years after the start of the Great Pirate Era, not only have they failed to curb the expansion of pirate forces, but they are in an absolute disadvantage. Now they even need to borrow the power of pirates to fight against pirates."
Shaking his head, Vladimir continued to read.
The headline of the news, in addition to introducing the official establishment of the Shichibukai, also issued a summons at the end.
It summoned the seven to go to the Navy Headquarters, with the gathering time being five days later.
Seeing this, Vladimir immediately lost interest.
He casually threw the newspaper aside, slapped down 1000 Berries, got up and left the teahouse.
What gathering, Vladimir was too lazy to go. He only wanted the title and the various privileges and conveniences that the title brought. As for obligations, as if the Navy could command him, what a dream.
"Continue to go deeper into the New World. In a month, come back to complete the transaction and, by the way, go to the Navy to get 1 billion in compensation."
Having made a decision, Vladimir came to the port, selected a pirate ship that was preparing to set sail, and easily mixed in.
"Hey, did you see a figure just now?"
"No, you're seeing things, right? Let's set off quickly!"
During the conversation, two sailors carried the last of the cargo onto the pirate ship. Soon, the ship raised its sails, hung up the pirate flag, and sailed towards the sea.
...
The pirate ship slowly sailed out of the port, and all the crew members breathed a sigh of relief.
"We can finally leave this damn place. It's too dangerous!" One couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, luckily we ran fast last night, otherwise we would have been affected by the battle between that person and the Shichibukai..."
Saying this, someone shuddered.
This morning, more than a dozen corpses were dug out from the ruins. They were all people who ran slowly last night or considered themselves strong, disdained to leave, and instead watched the battle there.
"Speaking of which, who exactly is that person? Does he have a feud with Doflamingo?"
"Who knows? Boss, what do you think?"
Several pirates looked at the captain, a burly man with a goatee.
The captain stood at the bow of the ship, looking out at the sea ahead, high-spirited, "Whoever he is, he robbed our money. We'll settle accounts with him later. Now, let's find a target and loot..."
While saying this, the captain turned around, but just as his movements were halfway through, his eyes happened to see a figure and immediately widened his eyes, showing a horrified look.
The figure was sitting on the deck, looking down at the sea ahead from a high place.
Seeming to notice the captain's gaze, the person lowered his head slightly, first startled, and then showed a playful expression.
Seeing this smile of the other party, the captain was even more frightened and trembled all over.
It was this smile. When he saw this smile yesterday, he was beaten up!
"Boss?" One of the crew members asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
This sentence reminded the captain. A smile that was uglier than crying was squeezed out on his face full of stubble.
"This... This sir, you, you, why are you on my ship?"
This person was the pirate captain who had tried to rob Vladimir yesterday, but was instead beaten up and offered an apology.
Vladimir was sitting leisurely on top, holding a piece of fruit that he had casually grabbed just now, gently gnawing on it.
At this moment, all the crew members discovered his presence, and suddenly each one was frightened and turned pale.
"Monster!"
"Captain, let's run quickly, he's here for revenge!"
"Run where?! This is the sea!"
A group of pirates panicked. Having witnessed the battle last night, they didn't even have the heart to resist and only wanted to escape at the first moment.
"Shut up!" The burly captain shouted angrily, and then quickly changed to a flattering smile, "This sir, what do you want with me?"
He didn't think that the other party was here to take revenge on him, otherwise he would have attacked long ago. He wouldn't have let them leave yesterday.
Seeing that he wasn't a fool, Vladimir raised his eyebrows and said, "Just passing by, don't mind."
Passing by? How can passing by lead to my ship?!
The burly man couldn't help but slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only smile bitterly, "This sir, last time it was really my fault for not recognizing you. We definitely don't have any thoughts of revenge. We've already accepted our fate and have no complaints. Even the Shichibukai isn't your opponent. How dare we have any ideas."
Hearing this, Vladimir looked at him with a calm face.
"I'm called Nine-Tailed Fox. You can just call me Nine-Lord." After thinking about it, Vladimir couldn't help but say, "I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer them well."
"Yes, yes, yes, Nine-Lord." The burly man nodded hurriedly, and then his whole body shivered, and he said in horror, "Ni-Ni-Nine-Tailed Fox... Shichibukai!?"
Almost everyone present had seen the news in the morning. They had already memorized the official establishment of the Shichibukai and the current seven members.
Although there were no portrait photos, the mysteriousness of the Nine-Tailed Fox with a 0 bounty was still remembered by countless people.
The burly man was one of them. Hearing Vladimir report his name at this moment, he was immediately frightened silly.
"I'm asking you," Vladimir frowned and said, "What's your next stop?"
"I don't know." The burly man quickly answered, not daring to hide anything, "We're just sailing according to a general direction and route. Our ultimate goal is to enter the sea area ruled by the Four Emperor Whitebeard and then join Whitebeard's command."
"Join Whitebeard... with just you?" Vladimir rolled his eyes.
The burly man also said awkwardly, "Maybe in the eyes of a strong person like you, the New World and the first half are no different, but for us... in the New World, we can't survive without joining a force."
"Listening to your words, you know the New World well. Is this not the first time you've come?"
"No, I have an elder brother. He's also in the New World and has joined an organization, so he's the one who tells me a lot of news."
