Life or death is irrelevant.
Bounty: 850,000,000!
"850 million?" The Empress was stunned.
She had never heard of the Lich King, but to have such a high bounty placed on him by the Navy, he was probably another ferocious person.
Suddenly, she looked up at Vladimir. This mixed-blood dragon also had a bounty of 1 billion.
"Could it be another one of Phantom's people?"
The Empress thought to herself, continuing to read, but the subsequent wanted posters didn't have anything special. However, the headline of the newspaper published a shocking message.
"Effective immediately, the Shichibukai titles of Nine-Tailed Fox and Gekko Moriah are revoked!"
Seeing this, the Empress suddenly looked up. "Is the Lich King also one of your people?"
Once granted, Shichibukai titles were generally not easily revoked, unless the other party did something to anger the Navy. But recently, there had been no news of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Thinking of the Lich King who had suddenly appeared before the world, the Empress immediately had a certain guess.
"The Lich King?" Vladimir stopped eating, smiling slightly, saying, "The Navy's actions are quite fast. That's right, he is indeed a Phantom executive."
"What did he do?" The Empress couldn't help but ask again.
"Nothing much. He just overwhelmed Impel Down and killed a Director."
Vladimir said calmly.
However, these words, falling into the Empress's ears, caused her to fall into a stun again.
That's called nothing much? Impel Down, known as an impregnable fortress with absolute defense, had actually been broken through!
Moreover, the Director of Impel Down, if she remembered correctly, should be an admiral-level expert, and he had been killed!
Staring blankly at Vladimir, the Empress couldn't help but hold her forehead, saying wearily, "You Phantom... are really a bunch of madmen."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"I'm not complimenting you, you stupid dragon!"
After enjoying lunch with the Kuja Pirates, Vladimir, having recovered his strength, prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Seeing him pack his bags, preparing to leave, the Empress immediately opened her mouth, saying, "Where are you going?"
"Do I have to report to you where I'm going?"
Vladimir strode towards the door, waving his hand, saying, "Thank you for the hospitality. Next time, remember to have the Devil Fruit I'm owed ready. I'll come to collect it when I have time."
"Wait! Don't leave!"
The Empress said subconsciously. After saying it, she couldn't help but pause.
Why did she want to keep the Sea Dragon? Regarding this question, the Empress didn't quite understand either.
She just felt that she had been searching for him for so long, and she had finally found him. If she just let him leave like this, she would be at a disadvantage.
"Empress, little girl, do you think I'm as free as you, running around the world? I have a mission. See you next time."
"Hmph, if I don't allow you to leave, you can't leave! Slave Arrow!"
The Empress's eyes flashed, kissing her beautiful fingers, then flicking them. The next moment, a pink whip extended out, and in an instant, it had approached behind Vladimir.
"Hmm!?"
Vladimir paused, and when he realized that something was approaching, his left wrist had already been restrained by the whip.
He shook it slightly, but couldn't break free.
"You're actually attacking, so despicable."
Hearing this, the Empress laughed instead, the corners of her mouth slightly curling into a curve, saying with a somewhat proud tone, "All's fair in love and war, understand? You stupid dragon!"
She was like a little girl who had finally won a toy, and her mood suddenly became cheerful. She even played with words, using what Vladimir had said to her earlier to tease him.
Carefully recalling the past, the Empress realized that ever since she had met this Sea Dragon, she had been at a disadvantage, being bullied by him. This time, she had finally won back a round, so she was naturally proud.
"As expected of a little girl. You're so smug after winning a little." Vladimir sighed with pity, saying, "Do you think this thing can trap me?"
With just a chain, even if it was made of ability, he had several ways to break free.
"I'm just unwilling to strike you."
Hearing this, the Empress became slightly nervous. She had finally caught the Sea Dragon. If he easily broke free, then it would seem that she was too useless.
"You can break free? I don't believe it! Anyone who is trapped by 'Slave Arrow' will never be able to break free as long as they have a little desire for me! Stupid dragon, you can try!"
Despite saying this, the Empress still gripped the pink whip tightly, afraid of letting Vladimir run away.
"Haha, then you can watch carefully!"
Vladimir laughed, raising his left arm, and his eyes focused. In an instant, dark dragon scales appeared on his body.
At the same time, entering a half-transformed state, his physical strength skyrocketed dozens of times.
The next moment, Vladimir shouted, suddenly exerting force, and pulling hard.
Immediately, the entire pink whip straightened, and the Empress immediately noticed a great force coming.
Subconsciously, she resisted, but was surprised to find that she couldn't resist it at all. Without even half a second of stalemate, she had already been pulled towards Vladimir.
"You...!"
The Empress was shocked. She only felt a blur before her eyes, and she had already arrived in front of Vladimir.
She had just stood firm, and before she could react, she felt a large hand grabbing her chest.
"There's a lot of material here, you've developed well," Vladimir said, chuckling and teasing her.
The Empress was completely dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at Vladimir. Suddenly, her lips felt a trace of warmth.
The Empress's eyes widened, looking incredulously at the abominable face that was so close.
She only felt that her brain was blank, and she was weak all over, feeling like she was about to collapse to the ground.
