Chapter 225 The Deal
Minos sat in his chair, a cold smile slowly spreading across his lips, a smile filled with endless disdain and determination.
"salvation?"
Minos thought to himself, "No, no, no, I, Minos, would never go to save the pirate world. It would be merciful of me not to join those who take advantage of the pirate world."
"In his view, the prejudices in people's hearts are like a towering mountain, which no matter how hard you try to climb or how hard you struggle, you cannot shake it in the slightest."
Even if he did everything in his power to save the people of the pirate world, in that brief moment, they might be filled with gratitude and their eyes would be full of thanks to him.
But time is the most ruthless thing. As time goes by, those so-called gratitude will vanish like fleeting clouds, and Minos's reputation will return to that of "the world's number one villain".
Minos didn't want to be a hero, much less a savior.
"Therefore, both the pirate world and the ninja world will be my enemies."
Minos clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with greed. "They are all nourishment for my growth. Only by becoming incredibly strong can I survive in this cruel world."
He doesn't trust anyone; in his world, only he himself is the most trustworthy.
Thinking of this, Minos's eyes suddenly flashed, and a powerful aura involuntarily erupted from his body.
Its momentum was like a surging sea wave or an erupting volcano, instantly sweeping across the entire Serbian island.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify under this overwhelming aura, emitting a buzzing sound. "Since the ninja army wants to come, then let them come!"
Minos roared in his heart, "It just so happens that the strongmen of the pirate world have been almost wiped out. The strongmen of the ninja world are the perfect nourishment for me and several kings to become gods."
Minos's sudden display of power drew the attention of Orochimaru and the others who were not far away.
Orochimaru frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubt, not understanding why Minos would suddenly unleash such a powerful aura.
Orochi Kabuto looked surprised, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.
However, Minos's momentum lasted only a moment before receding as quickly as the tide.
He suppressed his imposing aura, staring intently at Orochimaru and Kabuto, and asked in a deep, authoritative voice, "How long until the ninja army arrives in the pirate world?" He paused, then added, "Will the Six Paths level shinobi arrive?"
Orochimaru slowly stuck out his tongue, letting out a hoarse laugh that sounded particularly eerie on the silent, deserted island. "Mi-kun, it seems you still care a lot about those Six Paths level powerhouses in the ninja world."
Orochimaru teased. Then, his tone shifted, becoming somber, and he continued, "According to the intelligence we have, the ninja world's invasion of the pirate world was divided into two parts."
"The first time was about three months later, and the second time was six months later."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling something, and then continued, "The first time was mainly when each village or force in the ninja world sent a King-level or Kage-level powerhouse to lead a well-trained squad to explore the pirate world."
"Their goal is simply to understand the specific situation of the pirate world and see if the resources here are worth taking further action against."
“And after the second time,” Orochimaru’s voice became even lower, “if the resources of the pirate world can meet the expectations of the strong people in the ninja world, then all the strong people in the ninja world will descend. At that time, the pirate world will face an unprecedented and enormous crisis.”
At this point, Orochimaru paused, his gaze fixed on Minos, observing his expression. "As for Six Paths level experts, they cannot descend at the moment."
Orochimaru slowly said, "Because the energy portal we created is currently only capable of allowing those below the Kage level to enter the One Piece world. Mi-kun, you can rest assured that it should be very difficult for those Six Paths level ninjas in the ninja world to descend here at the moment."
After saying that, Orochimaru's gaze fell on Minos's face again, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
After hearing Orochimaru's words, Minos felt much less pressured. In his view, as long as a Six Paths level expert didn't come, they were invincible in the pirate world with their current strength.
After all, with the Dragon Emperor, a sixth-level expert, in charge, they naturally have no fear of any enemy.
But if all the Six Paths level ninjas in the ninja world were to mobilize, even the Dragon Emperor would have to kneel. (◣_◢)
Minos smiled faintly and said, "Orochimaru, I already know about the invasion of the ninja army you mentioned. Do you have anything else to say?"
Minos didn't believe that Orochimaru and Kabuto would be so kind as to tell him information without reservation.
After all, these two are known for being opportunistic and wouldn't reveal detailed information about the ninja army so easily.
Sure enough, after Minos finished speaking, he keenly noticed that Orochimaru and Kabuto both had an unnatural look on their faces, as if they had something difficult to say.
Minos sneered inwardly: "As expected, these two guys are still up to no good; they must have some ulterior motive."
Minos stared intently at Orochimaru and Kabuto, his gaze filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
Under his aggressive gaze, Orochimaru first sighed helplessly, then looked calmly at Minos and said in a low voice, "Actually, the energy transmission port that Lord Orochimaru and I created did not meet Obito Uchiha's requirements, so he thought we failed."
Orochi Kabuto frowned slightly, a bitter look on his face, and continued, "Obito Uchiha didn't give us the materials we needed, so we came to the pirate world hoping for the best."
Orochi Kabuto raised his head, looking intently at Minos, and said sincerely, "Please forgive our rudeness, Lord Orochi. When we saw that you had a Six Paths level expert, we realized that you were qualified to cooperate with us."
"Therefore, we are prepared to reveal information about the ninja world to you, in exchange for your cooperation. We hope to obtain what we need through this method, which can be considered a win-win situation!"
Orochi Kabuto gazed intently at Minos as he pondered, and smiled faintly: "In that case, Lord Minos should trust us! After all, all we need to do is study the power of the Six Paths."
"However, the intelligence you obtained is extremely valuable, so we can even things out."
Minos's eyes flashed after hearing Orochi Kabuto's words. If what Orochi Kabuto said was true, then it would be possible to understand the intentions of Orochimaru and Orochi Kabuto.
He remained silent for a moment, pondering the pros and cons in his mind.
"Alright, I believe you." Minos finally spoke, his voice calm but carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"As long as you two don't lie to me, we'll give you what you deserve when the opportunity arises." Minos stared intently at Orochimaru and Kabuto, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "But the condition is that you two don't lie to me, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Minos's cold gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing straight into the hearts of Orochimaru and Kabuto.
Orochimaru and Kabuto felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Minos's cold gaze. They knew that Minos always kept his word, and the consequences of deceiving him would be unimaginable.
The two exchanged another glance and secretly decided that it was best not to provoke Minos for the time being.
After all, in this world full of crises, having another powerful enemy is never a wise move.
And so, Minos reached a deal with Orochimaru and Kabuto. One side would provide intelligence about the ninja world, while the other would provide the materials the other wanted.
This transaction, like a boulder thrown into a calm sea, will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, making the situation in the pirate world and the ninja world even more complex.
