Transaction

Inside the house, Momousagi's actions threw the entire house into chaos.

Dalton clenched his fist, and the other guards drew their guns and weapons, surrounding the Momousagi Vice Admiral.

"You didn't faint?" Zala looked at Momousagi with some surprise.

"Certainly."

Momousagi said, "My Observation Haki detected you. No one is watching me, so I'm throwing away all the tea."

"So that's how it is."

Zala frowned, then asked, "The reason we don't monitor you is because we're afraid you might have Observation Haki, but why do you suspect us?"

Momousagi smiled and said, "Ever since I came to Alabasta and the Sakura Kingdom changed its king, I have been thinking about the relationship between the Sakura Kingdom and Baroque Works. I have been struggling to find evidence, but I have never trusted you, so naturally I will not drink the tea you offer."

"I see."

Zala nodded. Dalton stepped forward and said angrily, "Let her go. Zala is the Queen of our country. What you are doing is disrespectful to the Sakura Kingdom."

"Having betrayed the World Government, perhaps from this day forward, she is no longer the Queen," Momousagi said softly.

"Don't rush."

Zala stopped Dalton, saying, "We are no match for Vice Admiral Momousagi."

Upon hearing this, Dalton had no choice but to retreat for the time being.

"You're quite sensible."

Momousagi snorted and then said, "Tell me, where exactly is Vivi?"

Zala took a letter from her bosom and handed it to Momousagi, saying, "Vivi told me that if you find this place, I'll give you this letter."

"Give me?"

Momousagi took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully, her expression growing increasingly grim.

"Vivi is a member of Baroque Works? How is that possible? Wasn't she deceived?" Momousagi asked coldly.

Zala said, "She wasn't originally one, but over time, her relationship with Baroque Works grew better, and at least she saw in Baroque Works an idea for revitalizing the country."

"And what about you? Vivi said you've already left Baroque Works. It seems you two have a good relationship; she even made an excuse for you." Momousagi stared at Zala and said.

Zala shrugged and said, "You don't believe there's no way."

"Zala left Baroque Works a long time ago."

Dalton exclaimed, "She has done so much for this country, bringing it back to prosperity. She is the queen of this country, not a member of the Baroque Works."

"Whether it is or not is not up to you to decide."

Momousagi said coldly, "I'm asking you, what exactly is Vivi going to do with the club president to go to the New World?"

Zala looked at Momousagi and said, "I can tell you, but you must grant me one request."

"A request?" Momousagi stared at Zala and asked, "You still want to make a request? I'm asking you only to give you a chance, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one here."

"My request is simple: don't involve the Sakura Kingdom. After all, I'm the only Baroque Works employee left in that country," Zala said seriously. "You can take me away, but don't expose my identity, and more importantly, don't let it affect the country. Otherwise, the country's revival will all be in vain."

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Momousagi nodded and said, "As long as we can ensure that the Sakura Kingdom is not involved in this matter, I can guarantee that it will not affect them and that your identity will be kept hidden."

"Baroque Works ' goal is simple."

Zala laughed and said, "Those are the Four Emperors. They defeated two Shichibukai in a row, and then spent two years preparing to defeat the Four Emperors."

"The Four Emperors?"

Momousagi frowned. "With their strength?"

Zala said, "Their target is Big Mom because she has a fatal weakness."

"Weakness?"

Momousagi frowned.

Zala said, "Big Mom has a photo of the nun who helped her when she was young. If that photo is broken, Big Mom will go crazy and lose her mind."

"This..."

Momousagi frowned and said, "You've lost your mind just because of a single photo? Your words are hardly convincing."

Zala said, "It's very easy to find out. I believe the World Government can find out about this if they deliberately investigate."

Momousagi snorted and said, "Big Mom, who has lost her mind, is not someone you can easily defeat."

Zala chuckled and said, "Big Mom is preparing a tea party. Baroque Works has teamed up with Big Mom's son and will send Big Mom food containing drugs. The drugs themselves aren't poisonous, but if you add that gas from earlier..."

Upon hearing this, Momousagi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it the drug you just used?"

"That's right."

Zala said, "That drug was specifically requested by Baroque Works, and they've all been taken away, but I secretly kept some for you. I was going to give it to you, but you were wary. But for Big Mom, who has Binge Eating Disorder..."

"She probably won't notice."

Momousagi nodded and said, "If what you say is true, then Baroque Works ' target is Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors."

"I have told you everything I know."

Zala added, "Dalton has nothing to do with Baroque Works, and his staying will allow the medical center to continue."

"No."

Dalton stepped forward and said loudly, "You've already left Baroque Works and done so much; you shouldn't be taken away."

Zala said softly, "But I was once a member of Baroque Works, and it's time to pay it all back."

"Come with me."

Momousagi grabbed Zala and said, "I can guarantee that I won't attack your country and will hide your identity, but you must come back with me."

"No, no, you can't take her away."

Seeing this, Dalton tried to stop her, but Zala shook her head. "Don't do anything. Stay at the medical center and take care of Elio."

"Come with me."

Momousagi led Zala towards the door, but Zala stopped at the door. "Don't let the people know I've disappeared. Just say I died of an incurable illness. As for the illness, I'll leave that to you, Dr. Kureha."

"Leave it to me."

Kureha stood in the distance and spoke softly.

Let's go.

Zala said that after Momousagi and she entered the cable car together, they headed down the mountain.

Looking at the snowflakes outside, Zala couldn't help but say, "Let Vivi go. If it weren't for her, you would have been dead long ago, and you would never have been able to catch me."

Momousagi asked, somewhat surprised, "What do you mean?"

Zala said, "She told me after you called, and I advised her to kill you, but she wouldn't listen and even hid your arrival. Now it seems she made a mistake."

"Vivi?"

Upon hearing this, Momousagi realized that if it had been her who had given her the tea, she might already be arrested and facing certain death.

Thinking of this, Momousagi sighed and said, "She can tell me the truth."

"But she can no longer escape," Zala said listlessly.

Momousagi closed her eyes and said nothing more.

"What's wrong?"

Ace looked at Vivi, who had hung up the Den Den Mushi, and couldn't help but ask.

"President, Vice Admiral Momousagi has captured Zala," Vivi asked as she approached the ship.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu grinned and said sarcastically, "I told you long ago to kill her, but you disagreed. What I didn't expect was that Zala also agreed to the request and was even willing to cover for you."

After Xia Qiu learned that Momousagi had arrived, he hoped that Vivi would kill her, but Vivi refused outright and insisted on not revealing Momousagi's whereabouts.

Xia Qiu was about to leave, he naturally wouldn't deliberately stay behind to deal with her.

"She is my mentor."

Vivi placed her hands on the gunwale and said, "I can't bring myself to hurt her."

"Anyway, you're the ones who will suffer, and you'll have to pay the price for your actions."

Xia Qiu said, "Next, you will become a wanted criminal and will never be able to return to your country."

"Then we'll stay here."

Vivi looked into the distance and said, "As a member of Baroque Works, I have left Alabasta, and Alabasta will be safe. As for Zala leaving the Sakura Kingdom, the Sakura Kingdom will no longer have any connection with Baroque Works and will no longer have to worry about being implicated by Zala."

Hearing this, Xia Qiu asked with some surprise, "So you two have already thought about the possible outcomes?"

"Certainly."

Vivi smiled and said, "Just like your plan to escape unscathed, Zala and I have already thought of a way to deal with it, and relying on you is your first target."

"Big Mom?"

Xia Qiu nodded and said, "If we can really attract their attention with Big Mom, then the result will be quite good."

However, what surprised Xia Qiu was the actions of Vivi and Zala.

Vivi cannot kill Momousagi; such an outcome is almost inevitable.

Xia Qiu found Zala's behavior somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, it made sense.

She spent two years in the Sakura Kingdom, personally establishing a medical center and helping the Sakura Kingdom become stronger.

Not only that, she also married Dalton and had children.

But the more she did this, the more worried she became about affecting the country. Now that she's distanced herself, she probably feels much more at ease.

"Let me know if anything happens."

Inside the abandoned base, Luo stood up and walked away into the distance, returning to his room and sitting on the sofa.

Having been at this base for five months, I have basically figured out how Doflamingo, Caesar, and Kaido cooperate. I just need to wait for the right opportunity to execute my plan.

It was dangerous, but it was the only thing we could do.

Luo was thinking when suddenly his expression changed, and he drew his long sword. But then a voice rang out, "Luo, don't be so nervous."

As the sound rang out, a door opened in the air, and a figure jumped out from behind it, grinning at Luo.

Who are you?

Luo stared at the woman in front of him and said seriously.

"Mr. Luo, could you please put your hand down?"

On Mr. Christmas, he raised his hand and said, "I mean no harm, I just want to help you."

"Help me?"

Luo raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Christmas said, "You want to defeat Doflamingo, and our goal is also Doflamingo. Why don't we cooperate?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Law squinted and said, "I am Shichibukai, Doflamingo is also Shichibukai. We cannot initiate a war between us, so how could I possibly deal with him?"

Mr. Christmas said, "But what about your hatred for Doflamingo? He killed Corazon, are you just going to avenge that?"

Who exactly are you?

Luo asked coldly.

Mr. Christmas said, "Who I am is not important, but what is important is that you hope to control Caesar by destroying Caesar's factory, so that he can't produce SMILEs, Doflamingo can't create Artificial Devil Fruit. This will anger Kaido, and then you can threaten Doflamingo. But what you don't know is that Doflamingo already knows this."

"What do you mean?" Luo asked, puzzled.

Mr. Christmas said with a smile, "You don't know yet, do you? Caesar's secretary, Monet, was originally Doflamingo's subordinate. She joined after you left, then infiltrated Dressrosa and became a maid. After Caesar escaped and returned, when she cooperated with Doflamingo, Monet became Caesar's secretary again."

"This..."

Luo frowned. If that were the case, then Monet was in trouble.

Mr. Christmas said, "From the moment you started working with Caesar, Monet had already informed Doflamingo of your existence, and you even had your heart swapped, so..."

"If it's true."

Law dared not imagine the consequences, but deep down he already believed most of it, because the other party revealed many hidden secrets, things that no one except himself and Doflamingo knew.

Looking at Mr. Christmas, Law asked, "How do you know all this? How can I be sure you're not one of Doflamingo's men?"

Mr. Christmas smiled and said, "My abilities allow me to gather a lot of information. Besides, if I really were sent by Doflamingo, why would I tell you all this, making you completely turn against him?"

Luo then asked, "So what exactly do you want to do?"

Mr. Christmas said with a smile, "It's very simple, our target is also Doflamingo."

"Is he also your target?"

Luo looked at Mr. Christmas with some surprise.

Mr. Christmas smiled and said, "You can't defeat him on your own. But by joining forces with us, we can ensure you have a one-on-one fight with Doflamingo."

Upon hearing this, Luo narrowed his eyes and said, "So who exactly are you?"

"Baroque Works".

He asked with a smile on Mr. Christmas, "You must have heard of us before, right?"

"Certainly."

Law said with a serious expression, "Your achievements are brilliant. You killed two Vice Admiral and two Shichibukai. If you hadn't eliminated Moria, I wouldn't have been able to become Shichibukai."

"So let's join forces."

Mr. Christmas said, "Only by cooperating with us can you defeat Doflamingo."

Luo thought for a moment, then looked at Mr. Christmas and asked, "But how can I trust you?"

"It's very simple."

Mr. Christmas said, "Now head to the North Coast, where you can meet our president and Ace. He will tell you everything. As a gift, we will help you retrieve your heart."

Is that so?

Luo nodded, looking at Mr. Christmas, and said with a serious expression, "I will go to see your president, but I want to see how you perform."

"Can."

Mr. Christmas said with a smile, "But I hope you don't rush into action, because they've been looking forward to the upcoming battle for a long time."

As the Mr. Christmas greetings faded, a huge explosion suddenly echoed in the distance.
