The power of power and money is undoubtedly amazing, and in just half a month, a magnificent palace complex has been located on this beautiful island.

At the moment, in the empty hall.

The eyes on the throne and under the steps were silently looking at each other, and ethereal music fluttered in the air.

Listening to this familiar, soul-deep tune, Robin looked in a trance, as if he had returned to ten years ago.

"Lord Apophis, you, do you remember me?"

"A little impressed. You're the first to break into my room. ”

Robin pursed his lips and thanked him earnestly, "Thank you, Lord Apophis, I hope you won't mind this ten years of late thanks." ”

"Don't thank me, I didn't leave my hand back then, and you were able to survive because your own will was tough enough."

Robin didn't speak, and during the years of her run, she was used to seeing deceit, and she had experienced too much deception and betrayal.

Straightforward words like Apophis's made her feel relieved for a while.

What's more, her behavior back then can be said to have used Apophis as a shield, and the other party did not kill her directly, which was already merciful enough.

Therefore, Robin quickly straightened his position, "Master Apophis, is there anything you need me to do?" ”

"You should have guessed it, I found you, of course, for that blank piece of history." Apophis said.

Robin was a little surprised, "It's just a blank history, isn't it an ancient weapon?" ”

In her opinion, wouldn't a sea thief like Apophis be more interested in ancient weapons?

"Of course I don't mind if you're willing to help." Apophis naturally knew what to do not plant the seeds of rebellion in the hearts of the other party.

Robin's wariness is too strong, and it doesn't happen overnight to change her beliefs.

"I, I ......" Robin subconsciously opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, the miserable experience of her childhood made her instinctively resist bringing ancient weapons to this world.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling rose in her heart, for the first time in so many years, someone really stood on her position.

Just as Robin's thoughts were confused, he heard Apophis say, "Go down first, there's a new guest coming." ”

“…… Be! Robin gathered his thoughts, put the mask in his hand on his face, bent down, and slowly retreated.

"This guy is ......" Marco and Robin, who were coming in from outside the palace, staggered by, with some doubts in their hearts, it seemed that only those with a fairly high status under Apophis could wear masks.

But the person who passed by just now didn't have a strong aura no matter how you looked at it.

"Marko, what's wrong with you?" Joz asked, looking at the pineapple head that was behind him.

"Nothing, let's go." Marco shook his head and followed a few people into the main hall.

Soon, the three of them met Apophis on the throne.

Among the three, the most complicated mentality is undoubtedly Bista, Apophis, who was on the same level as him nine years ago, and even famous for defeating him, is now standing side by side with his father.

As for Marko, the warning signs in his heart rose infinitely, and as an immortal bird, he was undoubtedly the most sensitive to the breath of life.

The guy on the other side exuded a terrible bloody aura, not to mention, even himself, as if he was dead.

Marco thinks he has seen many murderous pirates, such as Kaido and BIG· MOM, like this, is a cold-blooded monster who doesn't care about life at all.

But he had never seen a man like Apophis, utterly dead and indifferent.

A person who regards himself as a dead person naturally has no bottom line and taboos.

"No wonder he dared to kill the Celestial Dragons back then, maybe in his eyes, even his own life could be given up at any time! This guy is definitely a ruthless man who is extremely cruel! ”

Thinking of this, Marko's drooping eyelids were completely opened, and he didn't dare to be careless in the face of this kind of person, even if it was just a negotiation.

At this time, Apophis, who was on the throne, finally spoke, "I heard from my men that you are here for pure gold? ”

"As long as you are willing to give us pure gold, you can pay any price." Joz shouted eagerly.

"Oh no, Joz is acting too eager!" Marco's heart sank.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Apophis ask, "Look at you like this, is Whitebeard dying?" ”

"What do you bastard say? Daddy didn't have ......."

Joz was in the middle of his sentence when Marco eagerly stopped him, "I'm sorry, it's Joz who was reckless." ”

Joz's eyes swelled with anger, when did Marco become so weak?

It's not that he doesn't trust his brother, but he really can't tolerate his father's affairs.

"It doesn't matter, I'm never angry, and if there is anything that makes me unhappy, I will be killed on the spot." Apophis said indifferently.

Joz was so angry that the corners of his eyes were swollen, and the bastard didn't take him seriously.

Marco knew that most of what that guy said was not a lie, and if he went crazy, the identity of the Whitebeard Pirates would not play a role in him.

"What do you want to do to sell us pure gold?"

"Although we are both pirates, this does not mean that we are in the same camp, and it is normal for pirates to fight each other."

Apophis' voice turned cold suddenly, "In that case, why did I sell you pure gold?" ”

"You ......"

Joz was about to speak, when Marco pressed him down again, "With your character, if you really don't want to sell, you won't talk to us so much." ”

"Am I right?"

"You know me well."

He should be the same battle maniac as Hawkeye, but he is not as pure as Hawkeye, otherwise he would not have eaten the Devil Fruit, and because of this, it shows that what he desires is not to become the world's No. 1 swordsman.

Thinking of this, Marco said in a deep voice, "What you want is to snatch the title of the strongest in the world from your father, with your pride, do you really hope that this process will be imperfect?" ”

Apophis' face under the mask became a little weird, is this guy helping to supplement his personality?

For Marco's sake, he was a little embarrassed to debunk it.

"You're right about one thing, I don't mind giving you pure gold. But ......"

Just as the three of Marco were overjoyed, they heard Apophis speak again.

"This pure gold is actually not as beautiful as you think, it can indeed prolong life, and even make terminal illnesses be postponed indefinitely, but the problem is that people who are shrouded in pure gold light will even slow down the division of body cells a lot."

"As a ship doctor, you should be able to understand that it means ......"

Marco took over the topic with a solemn face, "It means that the recovery speed of the body and the speed of action will gradually slow down." ”

"In this world, nothing is perfect, eternal life or prosperity, choose one for yourselves."
