"Hmm?"
Hearing about the Devil Fruit, Vladimir immediately perked up.
"Nine-Lord, can you release me first? This power of yours is very evil and is eroding my body..." Unico said with a bitter smile.
Seeing this, Vladimir moved his mind, and the dark red hand condensed from evil power disappeared.
"Speak, how can you be so sure?"
"It's like this."
Immediately, Unico described the general situation.
Simply put, while tracking Charlotte Kanten, this guy had encountered a group of pirates at sea and then quietly mixed onto the ship, entering the storage room to steal food and drink.
As a result, at that time, he had heard some conversations outside.
"When did you encounter them?" Vladimir asked.
"Five days ago."
"Which direction did they go?"
"It's about the same direction I came to Dressrosa, but listening to their tone, it seemed they were going to a more distant island, which is probably the sea area of the Four Emperor Whitebeard."
Nodding, Vladimir pondered for a moment.
"Could it be that they want to join the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"What's so strange about that? The pirates of the New World either submit to the Four Emperors or form alliances to stick together, otherwise they simply can't survive."
Shaking his head, Vladimir said, "That has nothing to do with me. It's still the same sentence as before. As long as you can get a Devil Fruit as a teacher's gift, I will naturally notify Shadow Fiend and let you meet him."
"Okay, Nine-Lord, I will definitely complete the mission!" Unico was full of energy, saying, "I'll go chase after them now. I'm very fast and should be able to catch up."
Saying this, his body suddenly underwent a change.
First was his head. Six more eyes suddenly appeared on his forehead. Then, six furry spider legs broke through the skin and grew out of his sides.
Vladimir's expression froze as he watched. In a matter of three to five seconds, this person had basically turned into a spider more than a meter long.
"Ability user..."
"Yes, Nine-Lord, I'm a Zoan-type ability user, the Spider Fruit, Water Spider form!"
Unico said proudly, "My crawling speed on the sea exceeds most sea ships."
Vladimir felt a chill and waved his hand, saying, "Go, just looking at you gives me a headache."
"Then Nine-Lord, I'm leaving. Oh, right, this is my Life Card. If you have anything to order, you can come find me at any time."
Saying this, Unico handed over a piece of white paper to Vladimir. Then, with a push of his eight legs, he leaped out of the window.
Shaking his head, Vladimir just considered it a kind of investment. Letting the other party go might get him a Devil Fruit. This kind of thing was not bad.
At this time, the two crew members who had left earlier walked in with a doctor.
"Nine-Lord, the doctor has been brought."
"Hmm, treat Pekoms a bit, and the money will be on his own tab. Remember, don't completely heal him, just don't let him die."
Vladimir gave an order and waved his hand, sending out a evil force to break the ropes binding Charlotte Kanten.
Suddenly gaining freedom, Charlotte Kanten was both surprised and delighted, thinking that this ferocious Shichibukai was going to let him go. But the next sentence turned his smiling face into a bitter one.
"Don't even think about it. I'm not letting you go. Come with me."
"Yes, Nine-Lord, where are we going?"
"Where do you think we're going?" Vladimir snorted, "Aren't you the Four Emperor's son? Of course, we're going to make good use of this identity and get money from the king of Dressrosa!"
Damn it, that "get" word was used so well!
Charlotte Kanten complained madly. This hateful pirate had just extorted his Four Emperor mom and, in the blink of an eye, was using him as waste to extort the king.
He couldn't help but think in his heart that it would be best if a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and killed this bastard. But on the surface, he quickly changed to a smiling face.
"That's right, that's right, Nine-Lord asking that king for money is giving the king face! When the time comes, I'll definitely have the king send a few princesses to serve Nine-Lord well!"
Vladimir, however, was unmoved, maintaining his aloof demeanor, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Immediately, the two left the hotel and headed towards the palace.
That night, Vladimir took Charlotte Kanten to visit the king of Dressrosa.
Before going to the palace, Vladimir couldn't help but spend a little money to get the other party a decent set of clothes, and also clean him up so that he wouldn't be recognized as a prisoner at a glance.
The Riku Royal Family, upon hearing that the visitor was the Four Emperor BIG MOM's son, immediately invited the two to a reception hall.
The hall was elegantly decorated and had several luxurious sofas.
After Vladimir sat down, he looked up at the king.
The king's name was Riku Doldo III, with a square face, around 50 years old, wearing a cashmere coat, showing off his aristocratic style.
After a slight pause, Vladimir said softly, "Your Majesty the King, this is the Four Emperor BIG MOM's 27th son, Charlotte Kanten."
Hearing this, Doldo III nodded, looking relatively calm and not being frightened by the name of the Four Emperor.
He didn't even completely believe Vladimir's one-sided statement. Besides, even if it was true, the person in front of him was just one of the Four Emperor's sons, not the Four Emperor herself.
Thinking of this, he looked sideways at Vladimir, asking with a hint of doubt, "And you are?"
He could tell that Charlotte Kanten seemed to be somewhat afraid of this person. As a king who had seen countless people, he had had this feeling from the first time he saw the two.
"I'm Nine-Tailed Fox." Vladimir chuckled, "I met Little Brother Kanten at sea and just came to visit His Majesty the King. Right, Kanten?"
"Yes, Nine-Lord..."
Before the word "Lord" could be spoken, Charlotte Kanten reacted and quickly changed his words, "King, Nine-Tailed is a friend of mine. A few days ago, my ship was attacked by a group of thieves, and it was thanks to Nine-Tailed's help that I was rescued."
To this, Doldo III didn't commit, just saying a few polite words.
He always felt like he had heard the strange name Nine-Tailed Fox somewhere before.
