"That little thing in your hand is quite unique. Why don't you let me take a look?"
The moment the man lowered his head slightly, the sunlight seemed to be blocked by something.
As he shakily raised his head, two tall figures were already standing in front of him.
Just as he was about to hand over the Den Den Mushi with his trembling hands, Den Den Mushi appearance suddenly changed.
"So, has the plan succeeded?"
A steady voice came from the other end.
The man was soaked in sweat, his teeth chattering, and he didn't dare to speak when he saw Cifer's expressionless face.
Unlike the residents of this isolated island, he had only recently arrived here for some reason.
He wouldn't make any move without the permission of these two killing gods.
Cifer pointed at him, then at the Den Den Mushi, and nodded to signal him to answer.
"Yes... yes! The plan has been successfully completed!"
He forced himself to take a breath, making his tone sound no different from usual.
"Just as I thought! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!"
The Den Den Mushi seemed quite satisfied with the response, and a loud laugh came from the other end.
"People from these remote, impoverished areas are so easily fooled! You just stay there obediently, we'll come over and take over in the next few days!"
After saying that, the Den Den Mushi closed its eyes.
"Yay! Hahaha! I think I've overheard some kind of conspiracy!"
Enel laughed heartily. It seemed like another disturbance was about to occur. Hopefully, the people who came would excite him a little.
"My lords! I was merely following orders to infiltrate this place; I have done nothing wrong. Please spare me!"
He was scared. He had heard that in Loguetown, those thugs were just bullying civilians on a daily basis, and they were all killed without exception.
What is the plan?
Cifer ignored what he said.
"Your Excellency must first promise to spare my life, otherwise... otherwise I will absolutely not speak!"
Seeing that Cifer did not answer him, the fear of death surged up in his head, and he showed the toughest moment of his life: refusing to answer the question of the Shichibukai!
"Yo~"
Enel, however, thought more highly of him at this moment. Although he was radiating intense fear, he still managed to think straight and negotiate with Cifer.
"No problem, I won't kill you."
After receiving Cifer's answer, the man finally couldn't hold back any longer. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Then, he began to slowly explain his plan.
His master was a nobleman from a certain country.
However, nobility is also divided into different ranks, not to mention the royal family and the legendary Celestial Dragons above them.
The man was unwilling to remain subservient to others. After hearing that a certain Celestial Dragons enjoyed hunting and eating various rare and exotic beasts, he had an idea.
He wanted to climb the social ladder by associating with the Celestial Dragons, so he would never have to depend on the whims of other people in the country again.
So he resolutely set sail with a group of attendants and servants, determined to find the rarest animals to present to the Celestial Dragons.
When passing by this island, I immediately took a liking to the white wolf on the island.
After inquiring, it was discovered that this place was a paradise for wild animals, and there must be many weak and rare creatures here.
In his view, there was no better option than to give the island to that Celestial Dragons.
But buying the entire island was obviously impossible, and he also discovered that the island's inhabitants were very protective of the wild animals in the mountains and forests.
Even though he offered a high price, Nico refused outright. He tried to have his guards take action, but Nico, who was on guard, beat him up.
This greatly annoyed him, and it was at that time that the ambitious Nigo approached him.
He could tell at a glance that Nigo was a bastard, but he needed the bastards on the island to do his bidding.
The two hit it off immediately. Nigo would incite the islanders to secretly hunt a certain number of wild animals and find an opportunity to kill Nico and take over the management of the island.
He left a guard on the island, who would contact him when the plan succeeded, and then he would join him.
"There's a hint of a lie in it."
When the man spoke of his master's plan with Nigo, even though it was only for a moment, Enel noticed a change in his mind.
"You don't seem to appreciate the opportunities I give you."
Cifer's words were like a sharp knife piercing the man's heart. He didn't know how the two of them had found out, and he only felt that he was doomed.
Please!
He changed his posture and knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy, and saying what he hadn't said before.
His master did cooperate with Nigo, but the man had no intention of paying him.
He simply wanted to use Nigo to dampen the resistance on the island until almost no one on the island was resisting anymore.
He only needs to use a little trick to kill everyone on the island, and once everyone is dead, the island will naturally belong to him.
"Moreover... my master also said that the white wolf meat on this island seems to have the power to prolong life!"
"That's what Nigo told us!"
He dared not hide anything any longer and blurted out everything he knew.
He fantasized that after learning such explosive news, the Shichibukai and Lord Thor would forgive him for his past actions, and he might even have a chance to serve them!
Such important figures certainly wouldn't do everything themselves; it's perfectly normal for them to have their own errand runners!
"What did you say?!"
Nico, who had remained silent until now, could no longer maintain his composure. He rushed forward, grabbed the man's collar, and his eyes revealed a murderous glint.
He never imagined that Nigo would be so foolish; there was no one in the world who could resist the temptation of longevity.
Therefore, the efficacy of white wolf meat has always been a top secret of the Ni family. If it weren't for an accident, Nigo would never have known about it.
The man was not afraid of Nico at all. He pushed Nicol away and continued his kneeling and kowtowing. He knew that only these two people could decide his life or death.
Why didn't you say so just now?
Enel's expression was cold; daring to deceive the God was an unforgivable sin.
The man remained silent, only kowtowing repeatedly, even though his head was already bleeding profusely.
"It's nothing more than being afraid of death."
"Killing one person is different from slaughtering an entire island. If they survive, we might be able to get a few white wolves to prolong our lives."
The reason was too simple, so Cifer explained it for him.
Upon hearing this, he kowtowed even more vigorously, crying out repeatedly, "I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. My whole family depends on me. Please!"
Cifer didn't say anything, turned and left, Enel followed closely behind, and Nico, seeing this, didn't care about the kneeling man and hurriedly chased after him.
What he was more worried about now were the two men in front of him. Judging from the attitude of the man on the ground, it was enough to prove that the two were very important figures at sea.
What's even more deadly is that their power is so overwhelming that if they wanted to, they wouldn't need to resort to underhanded tactics like that person.
The two of them alone are enough to kill everyone on the island!
"You two... please, please don't hurt the white wolf..."
Nico kept nagging in their ears. He had already disregarded life and death, and he would accept being killed even if they found him annoying.
"So, white wolf meat really can prolong life?"
Cifer stopped and looked at Nico.
He said a lot, but he didn't refute what the man had just said, which shows that it was true.
"It's... really!"
Nico felt a sense of despair. He didn't want to admit it, but he was helpless. The person in front of him seemed to be able to distinguish lies.
"Enel wants immortality?"
"God don't need that kind of thing."
"Too long a life is nothing but torture!"
Nico was stunned. He was somewhat incredulous, but he also felt that the other party had no reason to lie to him.
Cifer smiled and said, "Life is short, just cherish the present."
After the three men had walked away, the man who had been kneeling and kowtowing staggered up, leaning against the wall for support, clearly unsteady on his feet.
"Thank goodness! I'm still alive!"
He was overjoyed. Nothing could be more boastful than surviving in front of those two, and he was determined to brag to his family when he got home.
"Divine Judgment!"
In the man's line of sight, a swift bolt of lightning streaked towards him.
"The God did not forgive him."
