"Then may I ask what question Vice Admiral Steve wants to ask me?"
Modock still lowered his head and yielded. He did not dare gamble on whether this famously bloodthirsty Navy Vice Admiral would cut him down with a single slash.
"I want to ask you this: before you became a Shichibukai, about half a month ago, what organization did you work with to kidnap a seven- or eight-year-old Wyvern Fruit ability user?"
Doflamingo lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
Modock's pupils abruptly contracted, and an uncertain look appeared on his face.
Naturally, he remembered what had happened over half a month ago very clearly. After all, Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability users were not easy to come across.
Moreover, his becoming a Shichibukai had something to do with that kidnapping. How could he not remember it vividly?
Could that brat be connected to this Vice Admiral?
Didn't they say that Devil Fruit had been obtained by chance?
Some Devil Fruit ability users obtained their Devil Fruits by chance, but others acquired them because of their status, background, or the forces backing them.
For old hands who had spent years on the seas, they would often investigate everything thoroughly before acting. After all, targeting the latter could bring trouble from someone they could not afford to provoke.
