His hands were locked by a pair of seastone shackles, the power of the sea rendering the ability user powerless, and the Youkai Fox Divine Fire remaining in his body continued to scorch his soul even at this moment.
Although the divine fire couldn't burn his soul to death, it could keep him weakened.
"...Release me!"
Slightly more conscious, Marco immediately shouted, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the person before him clearly, clad in silver armor, wearing a blue cloak, with golden hair and green eyes, completely different from the Nine-Tailed Fox he had seen earlier, the difference in temperament alone was vast.
"Who are you?" Marco looked up, squinting his eyes.
"You don't need to know, you just need to know that I'm here to deal with you."
"...How are you going to deal with me?"
Now a prisoner, Marco also felt apprehensive, although he was the phoenix, he wasn't truly immortal.
Not to mention that his abilities were sealed now, even in the phoenix form, if he received injuries beyond a certain degree, it would be difficult to recover.
The reviving blue flames weren't omnipotent, for example, like in that fierce battle tonight, if he had been hit by the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Bomb continuously, he would probably have really died after only three or five times.
Seeming to see through his thoughts, Vladimir said in a calm tone: "Rest assured, I won't kill you. After all, it's Four Emperor Whitebeard, if I kill one of his members, I'll probably have to face a complete Four Emperor pirate crew tomorrow. Although we Phantom aren't afraid, we have more important things to do right now, so just stay here for the time being."
Hearing this, Marco was neither happy nor sad, but instead grasped the key point, saying: "You're also a member of the Phantom Pirates?"
"That's right, I am Knight King, one of the members," Vladimir said lightly: "Of course, you can call me 'Old Saber'."
Another member!
Marco's heart tightened. He had experienced the strength of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was definitely at the Admiral-level, even a bit stronger than the Admiral-level.
As a member, the knight calling himself 'Old Saber' before him probably also possessed the same strength.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a bad premonition, quickly asking: "How many members do you have? Who is the captain?"
Hearing these words, Vladimir was just about to speak when the sound of "puru puru" suddenly came from his chest.
Slightly stunned, Vladimir reached out and took out a Den Den Mushi.
The Den Den Mushi was white, not the one Red Hair had given him, but the one he had someone buy when he first landed in Dressrosa.
This Den Den Mushi, other than being used to contact BIG MOM, hadn't been used a second time.
"Can't sit still, taking the initiative to contact me?" Vladimir raised an eyebrow, guessing that it was probably someone from BIG MOM calling.
Just as he was about to answer the phone, Charlotte Kanten walked in.
"Nine-Lord! Nine-Lord! Nine... You, you are?" He looked at Vladimir, stunned.
"This is one of the members, Knight King, Nine-Lord has other matters and has left temporarily," Unico quickly explained.
Vladimir was too lazy to pay attention to these two, picking up the receiver and answering the phone.
"Who is it?"
"Hehehehehehe..." A series of laughter came, and after a while, a slightly hoarse voice appeared on the other end of the phone: "My foolish little brother, you're not dead yet, are you?"
Hearing this, Vladimir frowned slightly.
But Charlotte Kanten beside him suddenly turned pale, trembling all over.
"It's... It's Cracker!" He was a little flustered.
The voice on the phone continued: "It seems you're really not dead, Mama is very angry, she specially asked me to come and settle this alone."
Hearing these words, Kanten's face became even worse.
Not only him, but even Marco's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity when he heard this person's name.
And Pekoms, also a prisoner, shouted loudly: "General Sweet! We're in Dressrosa, and there's a member of Phantom guarding us!"
"I know, the Life Card will tell me which direction my foolish little brother is in." The male voice on the phone was still laughing: "I'll be over soon, members of the Phantom Pirates, wait quietly! As long as my brother is alright, I can leave you with a complete corpse! Hehehe..."
"Heh, what big words," Vladimir curled his lips, "Did you bring the money?"
"Money?"
"1 billion."
"Dream on."
Vladimir immediately laughed, "You said you're this kid's brother, which means you're also surnamed Charlotte?"
Saying this, not needing the other to admit it, he said again: "Warm welcome, I'll be waiting for you in Dressrosa."
Hanging up the phone, he looked at Charlotte Kanten, seeing that this kid seemed to be quite frightened, his face pale.
"Who is he?" Vladimir asked.
Before Charlotte Kanten could answer, Marco chuckled, saying: "He's a high-ranking member of the BIG MOM Pirates, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Cracker."
Charlotte Cracker?
Vladimir had some impression, but wasn't that familiar, but he did know the Four Sweet Commanders, the four high-ranking members, all members of the Charlotte family.
"This person has a nickname, called 'Thousand Arms Cracker', with a bounty of 750 million! He's BIG MOM's 10th son."
Marco glanced at Charlotte Kanten, unable to help but shake his head: "You Phantom are crazy, actually provoking two Four Emperor forces at the same time. You should quickly release me, to avoid the situation becoming unmanageable."
Vladimir chuckled, saying indifferently: "Rest assured, in a few days, I'll catch this what's-his-name Cracker and have him keep you company, you two are quite familiar, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Marco's face darkened, feeling a headache about the people of Phantom.
They were a group of madmen, and powerful ones at that!
"Damn it, I have to bring this news back, tell Oyaji, besides the other Four Emperors, there's also a hidden, enormous force!"
With a high-ranking member of the BIG MOM Pirates about to arrive, some of the people around Vladimir were a little nervous.
That was a great pirate with a bounty of 750 million, a bounty of 100 million was a small hurdle, 300 million was another hurdle, and 500 million was a big hurdle, even in the New World, pirates with more than 500 million weren't that many.
The bearded captain wanted to run at the first opportunity, but this thought was just something he considered in his head, he estimated that if he ran, he would be caught by the people of Phantom in less than half a day, and then he could say goodbye to this world.
As for Unico, this person was relatively calm, he was willing to go all out in order to become Shadow Fiend's disciple.
And Vladimir himself, the center of the incident, was very calm.
