Chapter 350 Father-Son Bond
...
In the conference room, several old men exchanged glances for a while, and then Maz Saint picked up the Den Den Mushi again and said:
"We can agree to your request, but in return, we require a reduction of 50 billion Baileys! You can choose either one."
10 Animal-type Devil Fruits plus 50 billion Beli, or 5 Animal-type Devil Fruits and 5 other-type Devil Fruits.
Is this still a choice?
Don’t you know that I’m so poor that I only have money left?
The corners of Geer's mouth, who regards money as dirt, are harder to suppress than AK.
"Wait a minute, 50 billion is not a small amount. I have to ask our young master first!"
Gel said pretentiously.
After a long while, he reluctantly agreed to the condition of exchanging only ten devil fruits.
The two sides have reached a consensus.
"I will hold your trusted men hostage for now. Arrange for someone to deliver the things quickly. Once the promised things are delivered and the deal is completed, I will abide by my promise and release him! Don't play any tricks. If I find out that you have secretly sent more troops, I guarantee that you will only get a little ashes in the design drawings at most!"
"Haha, we are the World Government! No matter how you look at it, we are more trustworthy than a bunch of pirates who hide their heads and show their tails!"
...
"Crack!"
After hanging up the phone.
Inside the conference room, the other four of the Five Elders who had been keeping silent could not help but start speaking.
"Do you really want to make the deal as agreed?"
Nasujuro Sei asked as he wiped his katana.
"Humph! You are just a pirate, are you worthy enough to negotiate with us?"
The hot-tempered Saint Vochuli had his mustache sticking up and he slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
"But the design drawings are indeed genuine and we must get them!"
Saint Satan tapped the ground with his cane as he pondered, and it was obvious that he was planning something bad.
"Anyway, take the ten devil fruits as agreed. Also, have the navy send out a few more warships. Hide in the dark and don't let them be discovered. Surround their ships from a distance! Once the deal is done and we get the Pluto design drawings, we'll destroy them!! Haha! We are the World Government and we don't need to talk about morality with pirates!"
Saint Maz stroked his long beard and spoke with a gentle expression.
"agree!"
"Seconded!"
"Five animal-type devil fruits are not difficult to obtain. The other five may require more efforts. The treasure house usually does not deliberately preserve devil fruits. Many of them have been taken away by those idiots to feed the dogs! Let's notify them first."
The blond Five Elders, Peter Saint, shouted towards the door after he finished speaking.
"Somebody come!"
...
Inside the cabin.
Spandam, Gel and others were sitting at the table eating instant noodles. Although the food tasted delicious, Spandam's attention was all on the stack of design drawings on the table!
"Lord Gur, use my briefcase! Please use my briefcase!"
Seeing that Gel was going to use Pluto's design drawings to cover the instant noodles, Spandine was so scared that he hurriedly took out his briefcase to replace the drawing, and wiped it on his clothes with a heartbroken look.
"Why are you so nervous? Pressing the noodles won't spoil them!"
Ger laughed.
asshole!
This thing is a treasure!
Spandine did not refute but just nodded and said yes. As long as the design drawings could be brought back successfully, whatever Lord Gel said was right!
After eating and drinking
Senior was going to take Spandine to notify the navy and CP subordinates on the warships outside and ask them to stay on standby and wait for the transaction to be completed.
"By the way, Lord Ger, I have a small request that I hope you can agree to."
Just as he was about to walk out of the room, Spandine suddenly stopped and turned back to say.
Ger looked up and motioned for him to continue.
"Lord Gel, my son Spandam is also on the warship. I want to take him aboard as a hostage! I hope you agree!"
"what?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
Tiger poison does not even eat its seeds.
Could it be that this guy was cheated on by his wife, and only found out after raising his son that he was not his own? Do they want to arrange for him to die in the line of duty?
Gel thought about it, then frowned and said:
"I understand. You've been traveling on the sea for years, and it's understandable that problems might arise when your wife stays alone for a long time. Any man would not be able to stand such a thing. But don't be too sad. You're still young. At worst, you can just scrap your account and start over. Just tell me how you plan to kill Mr. Wang's son. I can still help you with this little favor!"
Geer comforted him earnestly.
"Ah! No, no, sir, you misunderstood. My son is my biological son!"
Spandine hastened to explain.
"I think this mission is 100% complete, so I wanted to bring him out to gain some experience and make some achievements, so that I can find him a good job in the CP department in the future! I think (taking risks and becoming a hostage in order to complete an important mission) is a great achievement, which can be written in bold and colorful words in the resume! So I hope you can help my son."
"I have to say, you are a real talent! You can even think of this? OK, Senior, help him put a sack on his son and tie him up and throw him into the next room!"
Even the shrewd Captain Gill was somewhat surprised.
"Okay Captain!"
Senior nodded in response.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Looking at Spandine's back as he left happily, Gel shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There is a strange rule in the world of pirates, that is, as a father, when it comes to treating his own children, the better ones will just ignore them, like Roger, Jesus Bu, etc., while the worse ones will even abuse and want to kill them, like Vinsmoke Judge.
And those who truly have a father-son relationship are all raising other people's children, like Zeff and Sanji, Kuma and Bonnie, Whitebeard and Ace, Tom and Franky Iceberg, which is very strange.
So, just by thinking about his own children, Spandine has surpassed 90% of the fathers in the world.
...
on warship
Spandine first told everyone that the negotiations were successful, and now they just had to wait for the Five Elders to arrange someone to deliver the transaction items.
The agents and navy officers on board also showed delighted expressions when they heard this.
When it was mentioned that Spandine still needed to stay on the other party's ship as a hostage before the transaction was completed, all the subordinates felt ashamed. This task was completed entirely by the commander alone, and they did not help at all.
"Captain Spandine!!"
"It's my subordinates' incompetence that has left you fighting alone!"
The agents apologized sincerely one by one.
"No, you guys have helped me a lot!"
Spandine thought to himself that if you all just stay quiet and don't make any trouble you'll be doing me a big favor!
