Vladimir wasn't satisfied with just spending money to buy Devil Fruits. Being able to manufacture them directly was the best.
Thinking of this, Vladimir said seriously, To this end, I need to get the title of Shichibukai. You're a Shichibukai.
"You call the Navy Headquarters and tell them that the Nine-Tailed Fox is here."
Hearing Vladimir's statement, Doflamingo was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
First was the artificial Devil Fruit, the person who mastered this technology was in the Navy, and the other party wanted to become a Shichibukai and infiltrate the Navy system, with the purpose of finding this person.
"Wait, first tell me, who is this person?" Doflamingo raised his hand and said, "What's the way to cooperate in this deal?"
"I don't know who it is, so I need to join the Shichibukai to investigate."
Of course, Vladimir wouldn't tell him directly, but said, "Let's reason normally. This kind of person who masters cutting-edge technology must be from the Navy Science Unit. The most likely is the great scientist 'Vegapunk'."
In reality, it wasn't, but one of Vegapunk's colleagues.
Of course, Vladimir was deliberately guiding the other party. Now the two were just talking about cooperation and hadn't really cooperated yet, so how could he share information.
If it wasn't necessary to use the other party's power, he wouldn't have told this person any of this.
"Vegapunk... I see, that's indeed possible. Recently, the Navy seems to be researching methods to let weapons and inanimate objects eat Devil Fruits."
Doflamingo's eyes flashed, and he already believed it a little, "I'll call the Navy Headquarters now. How do you confirm that Sengoku will agree to you joining?"
"That's none of your concern."
"Fufufu, then I'm even more interested."
Grinning, Doflamingo let out a hoarse laugh.
After a moment, he had someone bring the Den Den Mushi and directly contacted Marineford.
After saying a few words, he handed the Den Den Mushi to Vladimir.
"Nine-Tailed Fox?"
"It's me." Vladimir laughed when he heard Sengoku's voice, "I really received your Navy's care during the day."
Hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the other end, which confirmed the identity of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Being able to know about the Navy's encirclement and suppression of Ibaraki during the day, there couldn't be a third party other than the person involved.
Seeing that the other party wasn't speaking, Vladimir mocked, "You really think highly of us Phantom. Just to arrest an ordinary member of ours, you actually dispatched two Admirals. If it wasn't for the special methods between our members, you would have really succeeded."
"What do you want?" Sengoku snorted coldly, not weakening his momentum.
"What else can I want? You did the first day of the lunar month, and of course we'll do the fifteenth."
Vladimir said calmly, "Your Navy has at least hundreds of bases outside. I won't destroy too many, let's say 30. I'll find time to raze your 30 overseas bases to the ground! I'm notifying you now to prepare early. If you want to resist... can you handle it?"
"You!"
Sengoku's face changed greatly, and his heart palpitated.
With the Admiral-level strength of the Nine-Tailed Fox going to attack overseas bases, he could destroy one with a single strike, but the Navy had no ability to defend unless they knew in advance which base the other party would attack and then sent the main force to confront them.
But this wasn't realistic. Most of the Navy's energy was involved in the New World. Being able to let two Admirals catch an Ibaraki before was already a special situation.
Hearing his words, Doflamingo, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but stare blankly.
Daring to threaten the Navy Fleet Admiral and being full of confidence, he had to admit that this person was very bold.
Moreover, listening to what he said, he seemed to have fought with two Navy Admirals and successfully escaped.
"Thinking carefully, this person is just a member of Phantom... I'm afraid that the Phantom Pirates have the combat power of the Four Emperors Pirates." Doflamingo immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "It's best not to provoke this kind of person. Who knows what kind of monster is standing behind him!"
At this time, Sengoku finally spoke. He took a deep breath, not losing his composure because of Vladimir's threat.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want? If you really wanted to attack, you wouldn't have notified me specifically."
Vladimir was relaxed and unhurriedly said, "Someone who can reach the position of Fleet Admiral is indeed not a fool. But your actions have seriously frightened our Phantom members. This is a provocation, no different from declaring war. If we don't do something, how will our other members walk outside in the future? What kind of compensation do you think can turn hostility into friendship?"
A series of questions made Sengoku very uncomfortable.
He was the Navy Fleet Admiral. When had he been threatened by a pirate like this? If it was an ordinary person, he would have directly sent troops to kill them.
Taking a deep breath, he calmed his mood and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, our Navy will not attack you again."
"What's the use of words? Get something practical." Vladimir rolled his eyes.
"Shichibukai, I promise you, let one of your members serve as a Shichibukai." Sengoku simply laid it out, "As long as you have the title of Shichibukai, you don't have to worry about the Navy dealing with you again."
"That's so-so, but it's not enough."
Vladimir thought for a moment and smiled, "Compensate another 1 billion as mental damage fee."
"Impossible!" Sengoku was furious.
Money was a small matter, just 1 billion, not worth mentioning, but the Navy compensating pirates money was a big deal. Even if he was the Fleet Admiral, he wouldn't dare to agree.
This concerned the face of the Navy and the World Government!
"Then there's nothing to talk about. Our little brother Ibaraki is very frightened and hasn't been able to eat recently. It's good to let him play around at your Navy bases."
Vladimir smiled, not afraid of Sengoku turning his face.
Hearing these words, Sengoku was indeed uncomfortable, being held by the soft spot, making him unable to use his strength.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the cost of 30 Navy bases being destroyed, but once this kind of thing happened, if he didn't handle it well afterward, it would cause a chain reaction.
If Phantom's people attacked Navy bases and nothing happened, then other pirates would also imitate them. At that time, maintaining world peace would be a joke.
"I understand, I promise you," After a long time, Sengoku let out a breath and said with a headache, "1 billion compensation, this is a private transaction, not to be spread."
"Of course, why would I disagree with money."
Blackmailing Sengoku, Vladimir was in a good mood, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sympathize with the other party.
The higher the position, the more things he had to worry about, making him restrained in doing things, which was simply pitiful.
"In addition to this," At this time, Sengoku said again, "One of your members must serve as a Shichibukai, we don't accept ordinary members."
