Chapter 1336 - 47: The Terrifying Mission

Chapter 1336: Chapter 47: The Terrifying Mission

A flamboyantly pink ship was anchored calmly on the sea.

"When did you get it?"

Doflamingo, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"A few hours after Cracker died. I must say, I was quite lucky."

"Is that so."

Doflamingo didn’t believe Su Xiao’s words. It was clearly a lie.

"Did you really succeed in extorting them?"

"Don’t make it sound so unpleasant. It was just a fair trade."

"Heheheh, a madman daring to extort Charlotte Lingling."

Doflamingo perhaps never thought Su Xiao could truly succeed in trading with Big Mom. Even more unbelievable was that Red Hair had leaned towards Su Xiao previously.

"What, are you not going to continue cooperating with me?"

"Of course... I’ll continue."

Doflamingo is a smart man. After tasting the benefits of Apollo, he only wanted more Apollo.

"Then let’s continue our cooperation. Still no news from Kaido’s side?"

"Very unsatisfied."

"That’s it?"

"Yes."

Su Xiao gazed at Big Mom in the distance. At this moment, the sound of water came from one side of the ship, and several of Doflamingo’s subordinates rushed forward.

Bubu Wang, all wet, climbed onto the ship. As soon as it got on board, it quickly shook itself, flinging seawater all over the surrounding pirates.

"Pfft~"

Bubu Wang snorted. Seeing Bubu Wang appear, Doflamingo was full of astonishment. He had no idea this dog had followed.

"Still going smoothly?"

Su Xiao spoke.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang raised its head, as if to say, "Who am I? Such petty matters, I settle them in no time."

"What have you... done now?"

Doflamingo now instinctively resisted all unknown events. Collaborating with Su Xiao was truly exhausting for him.

"It just went to explore the ocean world."

"..."

Doflamingo flexed his five fingers. After a moment, he decided not to fall out with Su Xiao. Firstly, beating Su Xiao was a big question mark, and secondly, he desperately needed Apollo. This thing could even intimidate Big Mom, let alone other forces.

After four hours or more, the Big Mom Pirate Group’s ship finally returned to the Rest Sea Area. This time, Big Mom was not present, only Katakuri and a large group of pirates.

Katakuri leapt onto the ship’s rail, carrying three large cloth bags. He threw the three large bags onto the deck.

With a clatter, a large number of golden ornaments scattered on the deck. Among the accessories were five long knives in their sheath and a wooden box.

Su Xiao approached the mountain of accessories, first picking up the wooden box. Opening it revealed twelve soul crystals (large) of various shapes.

[You’ve obtained Soul Crystal (Large) x12.]

After putting away the soul crystals, Su Xiao then pulled out the five great broadswords from the heaps of accessories.

[You’ve obtained Blood Fall Infinity (Gold, 335 rating).]

[You’ve obtained Three Clan Treasures (Gold, 360 rating).]

[You’ve obtained Inch Light (Gold, 372 rating).]

[You’ve obtained Flower Rain·Leaf Wither (Gold, 381 rating).]

[You’ve obtained White Fish (Gold, 400 rating, with additional attributes).]

...

It seems the Big Mom Pirate Group really bled this time, even bringing out White Fish, which is Charlotte Amande’s sword.

The Big Mom Pirate Group managed to bring out five famous swords, thanks to Big Mom’s habit of collecting treasures. If anyone could rob Big Mom’s treasure vault, it would be more than a lucrative gain.

The idea is beautiful, but if you don’t take out the Big Mom Pirate Group, storming their treasure vault is very difficult.

After pocketing the five famous swords, Su Xiao turned to the hundreds of pieces of jewelry on the deck, with gold and various gems dazzling in the sunlight.

Occasionally, the sound of someone swallowing could be heard — it was from the pirates of the Donquixote Family, as even a single piece of these ornaments could allow them to live lavishly for half their lives.

The clatter continued...

Su Xiao began rummaging through the accessories, seeking possible equipment. He could only choose two pieces from these ornaments.

Su Xiao lifted a large string of jewelry, glanced at it, then tossed it aside like useless garbage.

When Su Xiao picked up the fifth piece of jewelry, he paused and pulled out a pendant from the heap — an equipment piece with unknown quality and not yet appraised, but definitely equipment.

After flipping through all the jewelry, Su Xiao casually threw down a ruby-studded ring. Among these accessories, he found a total of seven pieces of equipment and chose two pendants based on intuition.

After the Demon Hunting Suit was upgraded to the King of Demon Hunting, the current Demon Hunting Suit now occupies only one equipment slot, allowing Su Xiao to select a pendant that enhances his own strength.

Su Xiao took out the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit and tossed it to Katakuri. Katakuri caught the fruit and stared at it for a few seconds. His left arm turned into mochi and engulfed all the trinkets on the deck.

From the time he boarded to the time he left, Katakuri did not say a word, and neither did Su Xiao. They were mortal enemies — the kind that fought to the death, so verbal threats were meaningless.

Katakuri didn’t immediately return to Big Mom’s territory but headed directly to Dressrosa. His subordinates were still surrounding Dressrosa, and without his personal order, those subordinates would not retreat.

At five o’clock that evening, the flamboyantly pink ship docked at Dressrosa’s port, welcomed by a large crowd of pirates.

Doflamingo came to the bow, sweeping his gaze over the people.

"The war is over."

This softly spoken sentence from Doflamingo elicited cheers from the many pirates. Their ’journey through hell’ had ended.

Meanwhile, the Big Mom Pirate Group, which had Dressrosa Island surrounded, began retreating to their ships. One massive ship after another sailed away from the Dressrosa Sea area.

As soon as these pirate ships left the Dressrosa Sea area, Su Xiao received a notification from Reincarnation Paradise.

[The Hunter has completed the Upgrade/Main Task; Defensive Battle (Third Stage).]

[Announcement: The Dressrosa Sea Battle has concluded, and Contractors can choose to return to Reincarnation Paradise in this stage.]

[Announcement: If Contractors return to Reincarnation Paradise at this stage, the Derivative World settlement rewards will be reduced by 15%, except for Third-tier Contractors.]

[Announcement: All third-tier Contractors will be returning to Reincarnation Paradise in 5 minutes.]

[Announcement: Dressrosa Sea Battle results, BIG MOM Pirate Group wins, all Contractors in the BIG MOM faction gain +500 pirate reputation points.]

[Announcement: Due to the end of the Dressrosa Sea Battle, killing personnel from both sides will no longer earn pirate reputation, which can only be obtained through side tasks/short storyline events/hidden tasks, etc.]

[Announcement: This is the pirate ranking for this stage.]

[First Place: Bai Ye (Third-tier), Pirate Reputation 15906 points.]

[Second Place: Shallow Dream (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 14800 points.]

[Third Place: Kudu (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 13575 points.]

[Fourth Place: Performer (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 4360 points.]

[Fifth Place: Forest (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 3700 points.]

...

Almost all third-tier Contractors will return to Reincarnation Paradise, leaving only fourth and fifth-tier Contractors in the Pirate World.

Su Xiao did not receive a prompt to return. On the contrary, he received his fourth stage of the task. He wasn’t experiencing the Derivative World normally this time but undergoing a promotion assessment. The promotion task would, of course, not be forcibly interrupted.

Su Xiao has gained 15906 pirate reputation points, blowing up Big Mom’s territory a large reputation boost, but the sudden rise of Shallow Dream was close behind, with only about a thousand reputation points difference from Su Xiao.

With the war over, killing personnel from both sides certainly can’t earn pirate reputation anymore. It will now be several times more difficult to gain pirate reputation.

After checking the prompts from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao reviewed the fourth stage of the Upgrade/Main Task, and his expression gradually darkened.

"This is... asking me to go to my death."
