Chapter 109: Ultimate Devil Fruit
It is not difficult to see through the conversation between Kahn and the head of the North Blue black market.
In the past three years, Kahn has been spreading news of the acquisition of the Op-Op Fruit on the black market, and the price is double the 5 billion berries purchased by the original World Government.
Counting the entrustment fee to the black market, if Kahn doesn't cheat, he will need to pay more than 10 billion berries to get the Op-Op Fruit.
Kahn didn't even bat an eyelid at this.
As long as he gets the Op-Op Fruit, let alone 10 billion, even if it is 20 billion, Kahn will make a lot of money.
Just as Kahn said to Hancock, the Op-Op Fruit is related to the next development of the "Cross Family," and it is also the key to establishing their "Cross Family" maritime supremacy.
Therefore, Kahn, who knew that the Op-Op Fruit would be obtained by X Drake's father, spread the news and contact channels early, used 10 billion berries to get Diez Barrels hooked, and secretly contacted the North Blue black market, trading with Kahn.
As long as the opponent doesn't have the fruit, the Op-Op Fruit will definitely fall into Kahn's hands secretly.
However, due to the theory of luck and fate in this world, Kahn decided to take a trip himself to prevent Law from eventually becoming the Op-Op Fruit user.
In order to get the Op-Op Fruit as soon as possible, Kahn turned into a dragon, used telekinetic power to wrap their ship, and eliminated the air barrier, increasing the speed to ultimate, choosing the shortcut of the windless zone, which only took less than two days to arrive at North Blue from the New World.
After arriving at North Blue, Kahn took out the Den Den Mushi and contacted the black market, and learned from the person in charge that Diez Barrels chose to use the black market as an intermediary, and the two parties conducted transactions face to face.
Although the "Cross Family" had a guarantee of credibility, Diez Barrels still didn't have the courage and guts to cross the black market to trade with Kahn.
Therefore, he chose to pay 5% of the proceeds as a commission and let the black market act as an intermediary so that this transaction could be completed smoothly.
For this, Kahn didn't bother to despise the coward.
Anyway, the person who pays the commission is Diez Barrels. He only needs to pay 10 billion berries, and there is an additional commission fee.
The next day, Kahn came to the appointed place and successfully reached a deal with Diez Barrels in the castle that was the stronghold of the black market.
During this period, there was no third-party interception incident.
Corazon and Law, in the original story, knew that the Op-Op Fruit was in the hands of Diez Barrels because Doflamingo told them.
The power of the Op-Op Fruit traded with Diez Barrels in the original story is not the "Donquixote Family," but the Naval Headquarters representing the World Government.
The reason why Doflamingo knew this news was that Diez Barrels was disturbed by the pirate's deal with the Marine, so he planned to entrust Doflamingo, who was a dark intermediary, to help him sell the Op-Op Fruit to the Marine.
As everyone knows, after Doflamingo learned that the Op-Op Fruit was in the hands of Diez Barrels, he immediately thought of robbing.
As a result, Corazon took the first step and snatched the Op-Op Fruit, making Law the new Op-Op Fruit ability user.
But now, Kahn spread the news of the acquisition of the Op-Op Fruit in the black market around the world three years in advance, and the purchase price was 10 billion berries, and any black market stronghold had channels to contact the person in charge of the black market.
In this transaction, except for the person in charge of the black market, Kahn and Diez Barrels, the news did not leak out.
The person in charge of the black market did not dare to offend the future maritime overlord in the slightest and even less dared to have an opinion.
Therefore, Kahn got the Op-Op Fruit very smoothly.
After paying 10 billion berries and the entrustment fee of the black market, Kahn rejected the banquet invitation from the person in charge of the black market, left the island where the stronghold was located that day, took out his Den Den Mushi and contacted Doflamingo.
"Blu blu blu blu..."
"I'm Doflamingo!"
Doflamingo was quickly connected as the Den Den Mushi called.
"I'm Kahn."
Kahn asked straight to the point: "Dover, do you know the location of Germa 66?"
"Cffd (cffd)... Kahn, are you coming to North Blue?"
Hearing this, Doflamingo immediately guessed where Kahn was.
"Ah... came over to make a deal."
Kahn nodded and said: "Now the transaction is complete. I want to visit the overlord of North Blue."
"Xixixixi... The Kingdom of Germa is the only maritime country in the world that has no fixed land. Their whereabouts are erratic. Even I need a certain amount of time to get to their location."
Doflamingo smiled evilly: "Before that, why don't you come to my stronghold for a sit-down? We haven't seen each other for several years."
"Okay, give me an address."
Kahn didn't say no.
After getting the current address of the Donquixote Family, Kahn immediately set off on his ship.
Two days later, Kahn came to Doflamingo's temporary stronghold.
"Xixixixi... Kahn, long time no see. You have grown taller again."
Kahn did not inform Doflamingo, but when the ship docked, he found that Doflamingo was already waiting for him at the pier.
Seeing Kahn floating down from the boat, Doflamingo greeted him with his characteristic evil laugh.
Kahn, who is 21 years old this year and whose height was fixed at 1.97 meters two years ago, replied with a smile: "It seems that you have mastered Observation Haki."
The butterfly flapped its wings again, and Kahn knew very well that Doflamingo, at this time in the original story, did not master Observation Haki at all, so he missed Law, who was hidden in the box.
And now, Doflamingo has mastered Observation Haki ahead of time.
If Dies Barreiros hadn't entrusted Doflamingo with his focus on the Op-Op Fruit, Law's ending might have been different.
"Xixixixi... All of this is thanks to the Haki manuscript you gave me."
"It is already very remarkable to have mastered Observation Haki through the Haki Handbook."
The Haki Codex is a reward Kahn gave Doflamingo several years ago.
If it weren't for Doflamingo, who helped him with ammunition and medicines, maximized his profits in North Blue, and helped him acquire a large amount of gold, the ship might not have been completed so quickly.
After chatting for a while, Kahn used telekinesis to take down the treasure chest containing the Op-Op Fruit and then went to the residence of the Donquixote Family with Doflamingo.
Looking at the treasure chest floating beside Kahn, the familiar size made Doflamingo narrow his eyes under the sunglasses and say, "Is this treasure chest the thing that made you come to North Blue to make a deal? If I guessed correctly, there should be a secret treasure of the sea hidden here, right?"
"Ah... just as you thought."
The corner of Kahn's mouth raised slightly, and he said without any concealment: "There is an ultimate Devil Fruit inside."
"Ultimate Devil Fruit?!"
Hearing this, Doflamingo's eyes under the sunglasses widened slightly, staring at the treasure chest and saying, "Could it be that this Devil Fruit..."
"Yes, it's the Op-Op Fruit."
