Chapter 314: Wishful Thinking
Lucci, dressed in his usual work uniform and carrying a white pigeon on his shoulder, stepped forward.
— I've seen you before, " Lucci said, his expression expressionless.
At this moment, Su Xiao's expression changed.
There were two other people outside. One of them was Kaku, and the other Su Xiao hadn't met before, but given the circumstances, Su Xiao could tell that it was Bluno.
The warehouse was surrounded. Su Xiao immediately took a few bombs in his hand and prepared to detonate the bombs inside the Califa at any moment.
Even though he was surrounded, Su Xiao didn't panic. Once he detonates the bombs, the Halley-La company will be alarmed and Lucci and the other agents will either have to retreat or stay here and reveal themselves..
Lucci probably knew that, so he didn't do anything about it.
— Did the four of you come here today to deal with me? This is a pretty stupid move for spies.
Lucci made a certain gesture and eventually two more people went inside the warehouse.
Just as Su Xiao had guessed, the last one was Bluno.
After they entered the warehouse, Bluno closed the doors.
— Get the bombs out of Kalifa, " Lucci said, standing in front of the trio.
— Su Xiao sat down on the wooden box and stared at them.
Lucci thought about something for a while, then nodded, pulled out a snail from his pocket, and threw it in Su Xiao's direction.
Grabbing the snail, Xia Xiao examined it. With the help of this creature, it was possible to communicate over long distances.
— Someone wants to talk to you, " Lucci said.
After hearing Lucci's words, Su Xiao thought for a while and tried to activate this snail.
*Bullet-bullet-bullet...*
Ten seconds later, the snail's face looked very much like a human's.
— Come on, come on, can you hear me?" an arrogant voice rang out.
— Yes, " Su Xiao replied.
— Are you that guy named Byakuya? I'll just tell you...
— Shut up, Spandam, " another arrogant voice suddenly interrupted Spandam.
— Why are you ordering me around? We have the same status, ah! Painfully... I was wrong... don't hit me in the face!
There was some noise and uproar from the snail for a while, but in the end, a human voice was soon heard again: "Hi, this is Zero," the man said in a cold tone.
— Zero?
Hearing this, Su Xiao thought of something.
— It doesn't matter who I am, but you need to know one thing: from now on, you are a member of the World Government.
Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Oh~? Do you think these four can hold me back?
— Of course not, given your bombs, " he said in a firm tone.
— Byakuya, a native of East Blue, 25 to 30 years old. He was once the bodyguard of the King of Goa and escaped after killing him. After a couple of years of wandering, I finally arrived at Water 7, "Zero said, but Su Xiao wasn't surprised. After all, the process of gathering information from the World Government was very well-coordinated.
Unfortunately for them, it was all a lie from the start.
— And? Am I supposed to start shaking with fear when I hear my own data?
Laughter came from the snail, but it wasn't a happy laugh, it was a very creepy one.
— No, but are you going to be on the run any longer?
Su Xiao didn't say anything. The other party was smart and came up with an excuse for him on their own, so he didn't even need to strain himself.
— Become part of the World Government. Before you become a full member, you will have to pass a probationary period, and after that period you will be able to become a part of CP.
Su Xiao didn't know why he had invited him to become a part of CP so quickly.
Weren't people from this organization trained from a young age?
— Anyone can get into this "CP" ?
— Not under normal circumstances, but the bombs you have are of great strategic importance, and for special talents, we always provide special treatment.
Su Xiao suddenly realized something.
He recalled the time when Rai had told him that when he mastered alchemy, many factions would try to make him their man.
— You must have liked my bombs very much, " Su Xiao said.
— You're right, your bombs are very good and their construction is very simple. If we manage to produce them in large quantities, they will be of great benefit, " Zero's tone was no longer cold now.
— Mass production? What an unrealistic idea.
— Why? Zero's tone turned cold again.
— These bombs can only be created by me and no one else, and it doesn't matter if I provide the recipe or not.
Both sides were quiet for a while.
— Devil's Fruit?
— No, it's a secret technique. I've been studying it for over a decade. She was the reason why the King of Goa eventually died. He wanted my technique, but he couldn't use it. Only I can use it.
— So, we will not be able to create them in large quantities? Zero sounded a little disappointed.
— No, but as long as I have the raw materials, I can produce as many of them as needed. Of course, you need a lot of resources to create them.
— This is a suggestion?
— True, but I will need the World Government's resource support.
— How many bombs can you create per day?
Su Xiao thought for a while. If the World Government can provide him with raw materials and potions to restore his mana... it only took 40 seconds to create a single bomb right now. Given that he could work 16 hours a day, in theory he could create 1,440 bombs.
— If I am provided with the necessary resources, then creating 1,300 bombs in a day will not be a problem.
Zero's breathing quickened. Such powerful, but most importantly compact bombs were worth their weight in gold, plus they could be activated remotely...
— You are now a full member of CP0. I'll send someone to pick you up immediately.
Zero was thrilled with the number of bombs a day. A dozen such bombs could tear a building apart, and without the risk of losing an agent..
— Mr. Zero, I didn't give my consent to this.
With the advantage in his hands, Su Xiao certainly couldn't help but take advantage of it.
