Perhaps because of what Mio said, Warwick plunged into the sea from time to time in the following days.
He wandered around the depths of the sea, in order to find treasures and gold coins.
Three days later.
The waters near Karakuri Island, the island where the Future Country Baldimore is located.
The sky was gloomy, and soon after the clouds gathered, there was a torrential downpour, and a ship on the sea began to sway along with the waves.
Standing on the deck, Mio waved the sword in his hand, and when he slashed out, he burst out with a black sword aura.
The colors of sword auras of all the people are not the same, and pure black sword auras like Mio are one of the most rare.
Seeing that the sword aura dissipated in the air not long after it was cut out, Mio once again swung his sword out.
Another sword aura was slashed out, landing on the sea not far away, causing layers of waves.
Seeing this, Mio couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, showing a satisfied smile.
"Finally, Master's sword aura is complete."
Although the previous Mio was able to display sword aura, he was not proficient.
He relied more on his own speed and strength to conduct strong crushing battles, but fortunately, because of the ability of 'Swordsmanship', Mio was progressing fast on the path of sword.
Coupled with daily duels with Erica, Mio's swordsmanship proficiency has increased rapidly.
By now, Mio could say unceremoniously that he was already a swordsman.
Of course, the distance between him and Erica is still very wide.
But Mio is only a beginner Swordsman. If he wants to become a Master Swordsman, he has to at least be able to cut steel.
The so-called cutting steel is not as simple as cutting steel.
This is just an adjective.
Real steel cutting is a realm, a kind of comprehension.
The current Mio doesn't know it, but Erica does, but this understanding can't be taught by words and deeds, it can only be realized on his own.
Fortunately, Mio was not in a hurry, there was still a lot of time for him.
Putting away the weapon, Mio returned to the cabin, and Erica suddenly walked over with a towel, raised her hands and handed the towel to Mio's body.
"you are really good." After taking the towel and wiping the rain off her body, Mio couldn't help rubbing Erica's head.
Under Erica's happy gaze, he came to the table and sat down. He then opened a map to take a look at their current location.
He whispered softly, "I am finally here, I hope Vegapunk is still on Karakuri Island."
The area of Karakuri Island is not small, and it harbors not only the Future Country Baldimore, but also the Kingdom of Meg.
Like other kingdoms in North Blue, wars occur between these two kingdoms, but it doesn't occur frequently, and most of the time they just have small frictions.
But this kind of small friction will sooner or later evolve into a full fledged war.
This kind of thing is very common in North Blue, and the Djerma family has earned an unknown amount of Berries from war fortune.
The same is true for the Donquixote family.
At this moment.
Blue blue.
On the table, a phone suddenly screamed.
Mio raised his eyebrows and immediately picked up the phone to connect. Doflamingo's voice came from the phone .
"Hey, my dear friend. I think you should know what news I have for you."
"Of course."
Mio lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It looks like it will obviously be good news."
"Of course."
Doflamingo smiled evilly, "But I hope your information will not disappoint me later."
"Of course, I think this news will make you feel excited."
Mio replied with reluctance, and then said, "Well, I will naturally tell you what I should tell you, provided that you have the information I want to know, let's talk about it."
"Hey, hey, that's what I said."
Doflamingo chuckled and said slowly, "The person you are looking for, Vegapunk's location has already been determined.
He is still on the Karakuri island, in the capital of the Meg Kingdom.
It seems that the person you are looking for has made a deal with the king of Meg Kingdom.
He is helping Meg Kingdom develop weapons."
Mio asked with a gleam in her eyes, "Is there a specific location?"
"Of course, but I don't think you need me to tell you, because you will find it soon after you arrive. After all, according to the information I got, the place where the person you are looking for lives is protected by the kingdom of Meg. The army is heavily on guard."
"Well, it looks like you really don't need to tell me." Hearing this, Mio nodded slightly.
There is no information in the original work that Vegapunk and Meg Kingdom had a deal, but it doesn't matter now.
"But I didn't expect that Vegapunk would actually help Meg Kingdom develop weapons..." Mio thought in his heart.
Maybe he could consider seeing if he could get this kind of weapon into his own hands.
After all...
The weapon developed by Vegapunk, a talent who understands five hundred years ahead of the current era's technology is not a simple weapon, right?
While Mio was thinking, Doflamingo's voice came again, "Hey, my dear friend, it's time for you to tell me that interesting information."
"Of course. Since you want to know, I will tell you."
Mio smiled slightly. "But I have two pieces of news here. One is related to your Donquixote family. Well, let me think about it. To be precise, it is news related to you."
"The other one is news of a permanent pointer to Laughtale."
When he said the second news, Mio's tone was flat.
It was obviously an extremely shocking news, but it seemed a little weird to say it in such a flat tone.
In fact, Mio was very clear. Doflamingo would not choose to know this.
And the reason why Mio chose to tell this news is to let Doflamingo know the authenticity of his information.
Although he may doubt it now, he will believe it when he tells Doflamingo the information he wants and waits for him to confirm it.
At that time, he would be willing to pay a greater price to come to him in exchange for information.
Of course, with that said, Doflamingo was still in shock, as could be seen from the silence on the phone.
Heavy breathing came from the phone, and after a long time, Doflamingo's voice rang again, "Fu Fu Fu Fu Fu, this is really shocking, then please tell me about the news related to me first."
He was indeed shocked. But he wouldn't say anything to doubt Mio.
He did not even ask. Doflamingo was not an idiot.
Because of his identity, he knows more about the things and taboos in the world government, and he also knows how terrifying the power of the world government is.
And Laughtale is undoubtedly one of the taboos of the World government.
Even if it's just a piece of news, Doflamingo doesn't want to know that.
Now he is not the one who possessed a certain strength and power when the plot begins decades later, now he is just gaining a foothold in North Blue.
One carelessness on his part can lead to the loss of everything.
In addition, he also knows how terrible the intelligence network of the World government is, so even if he is very excited about Laughtale's permanent pointer, Doflamingo will not choose this news.
It's useless to know this information now, and it would just make him feel flustered. It may even bring death to him.
Once you touch the taboo of the World government, those five old guys won't care even if you are a Celestial Dragon, let alone a former Celestial Dragon.
Doflamingo knew this very well in his heart.
Hearing this, Mio said directly, "Doflamingo, there is an undercover Marine in your family, and he even holds a high position in your Donquixote family."
As Mio's voice fell, the phone became silent again.
Cold light appeared in Doflamingo's eyes in the dimly lit room, and there was no answer.
After a while, he grinned and smiled, "Fu Fu Fu Fu Fu, really good intelligence, then can you tell me the specific identity?"
"I'm really sorry, but I can't."
"But I don't think it is necessary for you, right?"
"That's right, there's really...no need...hehehehe..."
"This is the end of the transaction. I hope we can have another transaction in the future."
"I think so, then goodbye, my dear friend, eh, eh."
The phone was hung up.
In the room, Doflamingo gently shook the goblet containing red wine in his hand, and his eyes under the glasses narrowed slightly.
At the next moment, coldness appeared in his eyes, and with a'click', the goblet in his hand was crushed directly by Doflamingo, and the glass shards fell on the ground.
It could be seen that his mood was not too good for now...
