"Heavenly Tribute?"
Mio looked startled, and suddenly though.
Heavenly Tribute is the resources that the member countries of the World government give to Celestial Dragons every year, and there are around 170 countries that are members of the World government.
So, naturally some countries in the North Blue region are also members of the World Government.
In addition, Marines escort the heavenly tribute directly to the holy land Mary Geoise.
Every ship that transports the heavenly tribute contains extremely rich treasures, and some kings will even send a lot of stuff in order to win the favor of Celestial Dragons.
Devil Fruit may also be included in it.
But...
"With the importance that the World government and Celestial Dragons pay to the Heavenly Tribute, you should know the consequences of messing with the Heavenly Tribute." Mio said in a deep voice.
Grabbing the Heavenly Tribute will undoubtedly offend Celestial Dragons.
With Celestial Dragons' pride, this act would definitelyanger them, and would undoubtedly attract the pursuit of Marine and the World government.
The current Mio did not enough confidence to pull this off. But that doesn't mean that he won't make a move.
From the gleaming eyes of Mio, it could be seen that he was a little moved.
"Hey, since I invited you, I'm naturally confident enough to avoid the World government notice. If it weren't for the lack of staff in the Donquixote family, I wouldn't tell you this."
"After all, you It should also be clear that once you agree to join in, we are like grasshoppers on a boat, aren't we? You can put me in a dangerous situation at any time, and the same can be true for me."
Doflamingo smiled lightly.
"That being said, I know your true identity." Mio said slowly.
Hearing the words, in the phone, Doflamingo was silent for a moment.
After a long while, he spoke, "Hey, you really surprised me, my friend, can you tell me where you got this information from?"
"You should know that it's impossible for me to tell you that."
"Okay, I thought so."
"Hmm, but I am getting more and more curious about your source of information."
"Haha, this is not the point." Mio chuckled lightly, and didn't want to continue talking about this issue.
Doflamingo didn't entangle on this topic either, and just remembered this in his heart.
He said, "You are right, this is not the point. Since you know my identity, then you should also know another thing."
"During this period of time, most of the 'nails' in the hands of the world government will be used to escort one special person."
"Although I don't know who it is, as far as I know, in order to escort that existence safely, the World government has sent the strongest existence in their hands."
"Just five days later, the Heavenly Tribute of North Blue's two kingdoms will be sent to Mary Geoise."
"With this opportunity, we can completely avoid the sight of the World government. They will never know that it's us even if they investigate."
Doflamingo expressed his confidence.
After all, although he has the blood of a Celestial Dragon, he is just a former Celestial Dragon.
If he really snatched the Heavenly Tribute, it would be fine if he returned it.
But if he kept the Heavenly Tribute to himself, the world government would punish him severely and make him pay the price.
Hearing what Doflamingo said, Mio fell silent.
Doflamingo doesn't know who the World government is escorting, but he knows.
It's just that he didn't expect that Vegapunk would receive this level of attention from the World government, which surprised him.
But when he thought about it, let's not mention Imu, just the Five Elders were definitely not a fool, how could they not know the importance of Vegapunk?
Even if part of the Celestial Dragons needed to be sacrificed, the world government would be willing to do so.
After all, Celestial Dragons can multiply, but Vegapunk is just one, and there may not be a second one in the world in the next 100 years.
"These alone are not enough, Doffy,"
Mio said solemnly, "I will not take risks with you based on these alone. After all, you should know about the power of the World government and the consequences of provoking the Celestial Dragons better than me."
"Well, you're right, I know it very well." Doflamingo said with a gloomy face, how could he not be clear about this?
"State your terms."
"If there are Devil Fruits in the heavenly tribute, they will all belong to me. If not, then you need to rely on your strength to find me two Devil Fruits." Mio said directly.
"Okay." Doflamingo agreed without hesitation, but said immediately. "I need 60%of the money!"
He now needed funds very much.
Although the Donquixote family now had a firm foothold in North Blue, they still didn't have enough strength and funds to develop into other sea areas and even the Grand Line.
If there were enough funds, let alone the Grand Line, they could even develop in other sea areas and gradually stand firm in these sea areas.
And recently this was a good time for Doflamingo, his ambitions had also sprouted, so naturally he could't miss this opportunity.
In this case, he can only attack Heavenly Tribute. Coupled with the news that Vegapunk was escorted by the World government, he couldn't help it even more.
Perhaps it is also this time that in the future, Doflamingo will rob him of the heavenly tribute to get himself a seat in Warlord, right?
Holding the phone in his hand, Mio nodded and agreed without any hesitation after hearing Doflamingo's words. "Ok."
Although he was eager for money, he knew that Heavenly Tribute was very hot.
Considering the possibility of being detected, Mio didn't want to take too much.
But even though there was a big risk this time, he still agreed, considering that there might be Devil Fruit.
After all, although Devil Fruit is said to be worth 100 million,l Berrys, it cannot be bought with money.
In many cases, Devil Fruit cannot be bought at all.
This kind of secret treasure on the sea is usually in the hands of those big powers or big pirates.
With his current strength, if he wants to buy Devil Fruit with money, the probability is still too low.
What's more, the wealth contained in some places that he knows is at least worth billions of Berries, whether it is the golden town on Sky Island or the island where the permanent pointer to Laughtale is stored.
The treasures contained in the above places can allow him to not have a shortage of money.
Therefore, when it came to Berries, he was not very eager.
There were few places where he needed to use Berries, only the purchase of Devil Fruit and supplementary materials required.
Of course, this time he couldn't entirely rely on Doflamingo's intelligence, the risk was too great.
He also needed to understand the specific situation, and he had to prevent Doflamingo from betraying him.
"Hmm, then I wish us success in this operation. Let's see you in three days. The position is..."
