Vladimir whistled, after a moment, a series of bubbles emerged from the sea in front, then, a huge sea king broke out of the sea.
Kizaru's expression changed slightly, he hadn't noticed that such a big guy was hidden under the sea.
This sea king was a hundred meters long, fat, much larger than an ordinary warship, and from its head, extended a tentacle, at the top of the tentacle, there was a fleshy bead like a lantern, emitting a soft white light.
"Angler Lantern?" Kizaru said in surprise, "A rare deep-sea sea king! Living in the deep-sea area without light, therefore having no eyes, the lantern on its head, attracting prey to approach..."
Angler Lantern, Anglerfish, one of the most violent predators in the deep sea!
Seeing it, Kizaru immediately thought of the Sea Dragon, probably this was another sea beast army under Phantom's command.
And as soon as his voice fell, in the sea area in front, a gap suddenly opened on both sides of the Angler Lantern's head, the next moment, two huge eyes suddenly opened.
··
"Has vision!"
Realizing that the Anglerfish was gazing at him, Kizaru was surprised again, thinking inwardly, "And it has hostility, it has wisdom...!"
Vladimir chuckled, patting Kizaru's shoulder, saying, "Don't be nervous, it doesn't eat people, at least without my order, it won't eat people. Wry-mouthed monkey, goodbye, I'll come to visit again next time, hahaha."
With a leap, Vladimir jumped to the top of the Angler Lantern's head, then the Anglerfish carried him, quickly leaving the sea.
Watching him leave, the skin on Kizaru's face twitched.
Wry-mouthed monkey?! Kizaru admitted that his mouth was indeed a little crooked, but this kind of name was really disagreeable.
"Hmph, I'll destroy Phantom sooner or later!"
Snorting angrily, Kizaru turned and returned to the Headquarters building.
...
The Angler Lantern carried Vladimir, bypassing the Gates of Justice, and left the Marineford sea area.
On the fish's back, Vladimir closed his eyes to rest.
"I got another Devil Fruit, now I have 2, I still need 10 more, to upgrade the Sea Dragon to 5 stars."
10 Devil Fruits, at the normal collection speed, that would take quite a long time.
"Should I upgrade other transformations first? Or, open a new transformation?" Vladimir pondered.
Currently, he had five transformations.
4-star Sea Dragon.
3-star Nine-Tailed Fox.
3-star Knight King Old Sword.
2-star Shadow Fiend.
2-star Ibaraki Doji.
He would put the Sea Dragon aside for now, the Nine-Tailed Fox was the most worthy of upgrading, however, upgrading the Nine-Tailed Fox, required 5 Devil Fruits, far from enough, the Knight King was about the same, probably 4.
And the other two 2-star ones, although he had enough Devil Fruits, Vladimir wasn't extravagant enough to upgrade them now.
"It seems I can only open a new transformation."
Thinking this, Vladimir couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Phantom, can I use 2 Devil Fruits, to open a new transformation?"
After a long time, the Fantasy Gene replied, "Yes."
After a pause, it rarely said a few more words, "It is not recommended to do so. Although 2 Devil Fruits have a probability of opening a more powerful transformation, it is only a probability, not a certainty, Host, you are not extravagant enough to use it to 'gamble'."
It was indeed a bit of a gambling component, what kind of transformation would appear, was uncertain.
Fantasy transformations encompassed anime, movies, games, novels, myths, etc., more than a million.
"The current transformations are a little few, and the Sea Dragon, which has the strongest combat power, won't be easy to get to 5 stars. I should still open a new transformation first."
Vladimir shook his head, still deciding to open a new transformation first.
If he had dozens of transformations now, wanting to upgrade, he would have more room to choose.
To this, the Fantasy Gene didn't have any rebuttal, it was just a gene, it didn't have the ability to restrict what Vladimir wanted to do.
Just preparing to absorb the Devil Fruit, in Vladimir's perception, a presence suddenly appeared.
He opened his eyes, looking up at the sky.
A figure lightly fell down, that figure had invisible threads connected to it, the other end of the threads, locking onto the clouds in the sky.
"Doflamingo, what's the situation?" Vladimir asked.
"Fufufu, we all miscalculated." Doflamingo grinned, quite helplessly, "I used my Celestial Dragon identity to enter the Headquarters prison, and didn't find Caesar Clown."
"What I'm asking is, where was he imprisoned?"
"I investigated the transfer records of the prisoners, M. Caesar Clown, was transferred to the Impel Down, the time was 5 days ago."
Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "This is a bit troublesome, that's Impel Down, said to be that no one has ever been able to break out. What are you planning to do?"
Hearing this, Vladimir raised his eyebrows, after pondering for a moment, saying, "In that case, I can only break into the prison!"
"Break into the prison? Are you kidding me?" Doflamingo was greatly shocked, "That's Impel Down! Heavily guarded, with 'Buster Call' level defense, moreover, the Warden has Admiral-level strength!"
"Are you very afraid?" Vladimir glanced at him, saying, "Said to be that no one has ever been able to break out, but that's not the case, at least, as far as I know, someone has escaped."
"Who?"
"The great pirate Shiki!"
Doflamingo was slightly stunned, then he remembered, ten years ago, there did seem to be such a rumor.
Shiki, a top pirate of the same era as the Pirate King Roger, to compare it, equivalent to the current Four Emperors.
"You really want to break into the prison? Actually, the Navy doesn't have the idea of imprisoning Caesar for life."
Doflamingo tsked, seeing Vladimir's calm expression, he immediately laughed, "Fufufu... I almost forgot, you're Phantom, what others can't do, doesn't mean you can't do it. How exactly do you operate?"
"It will take some time to prepare, I'll notify you then."
Vladimir said calmly, "You go back for now."
"Okay, remember to notify me, it's not good to eat alone, fufufufu..."
In the laughter, Doflamingo leaped up, walking into the air, in an instant, he walked far away.
"If I didn't still need him to help build the factory, it would be better to just throw off him and work alone."
