"You won't be able to hold on, you idiot!"
The burly man cursed inwardly, but his face still wore a flattering smile, "That's right, Nine-Lord is strong, it's just..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get the ship moving."
Vladimir waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him.
At this moment, he couldn't help but miss the bald man who was locked up in the Great Undersea Prison. As a lackey, the bald man was much more competent.
Without further ado, the pirate ship continued to sail in the direction of the Log Pose.
Vladimir also went to the storage room to interrogate Charlotte Kanten and the other man.
He wanted to ask for the means to contact Charlotte Linlin, but as a result, these two had even lost their Den Den Mushi.
Thinking about it, if they had a Den Den Mushi, they wouldn't have been in such a miserable state and would have contacted someone long ago. How could they have waited for him to pick up the bargain?
"This is a bit troublesome. How should I contact her?"
Returning to the captain's cabin, Vladimir couldn't help but think, "Also, how much ransom is appropriate?"
500 million?
1 billion?
2 billion?
...
The pirate ship sailed at sea for four days, during which they encountered many problems.
The strangeness of the New World's sea area was even greater than that of the first half of the Grand Line. The Log Pose would sometimes malfunction.
Fortunately, the ship's navigator had some experience, so they only spent more time before finally reaching the next island.
Vladimir was familiar with this island, named "Dressrosa."
It was a tropical island with a resort-like atmosphere, somewhat similar to Spain. The food, clothing, and culture all had a certain sense of déjà vu...
It was currently 1510, and the rulers here were still the Riku Royal Family, but in 2 years, Doflamingo would set his sights on this place, build it as his base, and become the new king.
Not only that, but 10 years later, Doflamingo would also establish a factory here to manufacture artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits, "SMILE."
"Should I do some damage and screw Doflamingo over?"
While going ashore, Vladimir pondered this question.
"Let's put that aside for now. Contacting BIG MOM is still the priority."
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "Bring those two up. We're going ashore. Also, have someone go buy a Den Den Mushi."
"Yes, Nine-Lord."
The burly captain had already resigned himself to his fate and could only obey the orders.
In fact, Vladimir had a Den Den Mushi on him, but it was given to him by Shanks, and he didn't want to use it.
Afterward, a group of pirates, plus two hostages, went ashore. First, they found a restaurant and got a private room.
Inside the room, Vladimir obtained a newly purchased Den Den Mushi. This thing wasn't cheap.
While stroking it, he looked at Charlotte Kanten and the other man, saying, "Alright, tell me, what's your mom's number?"
Hearing this, the Four Emperor's son, who had been reduced to a prisoner, obediently recited the number.
Soon, Vladimir dialed the number, and after a moment, it connected.
"Who is this?"
On the other end of the line, a clear female voice came.
"Who I am isn't important." Vladimir chuckled, "Four Emperor Big Mom, your son is in my hands now. If you want him to live, bring 10 billion to redeem him!"
Hearing these words, the other end of the line fell silent.
After a long while, the female voice finally came.
"Is that Kanten?" She said indifferently, "Do whatever you want with him. It's good if that guy dies."
"No!" At this time, Charlotte Kanten hurriedly shouted, "My dear sister, you can't do this to me!"
"Hmm?" Vladimir frowned, "You're not Big Mom? Let your mom answer the phone."
Pa!
The phone was hung up directly.
Vladimir immediately found it amusing, "Little girl, I still can't deal with you!"
Saying this, he dialed the number again while glaring at Charlotte Kanten, "How do you usually treat your sister? Why is your relationship so bad?"
Hearing this, Charlotte Kanten was very embarrassed and stammered, "N-Nothing much... I-I just often introduce her to potential partners..."
"...How old is your sister?" Vladimir's expression was a bit subtle.
"She's 11 years old."
What a beast!
Vladimir was immediately speechless.
...
Vladimir continued to make calls, but the other end seemed determined not to talk, hanging up after answering three times in a row.
"Your sister really doesn't care about your life and death?" Vladimir couldn't help but look at Charlotte Kanten.
To this, Charlotte Kanten was also full of sadness, "It seems so."
Saying this, fearing that Vladimir would chop him up in anger, he quickly said, "Nine-Lord, you can call again at another time. Someone else will answer then."
This guy even called him Nine-Lord in order to save his life.
Vladimir didn't comment and ordered the burly captain, saying, "You keep a good eye on these two."
