Chapter 185 Who Will Win the Flame-Flame Fruit? Brian Makes a Fortune

"Hooray! Little brother Brian! As expected of you! The Flame-Flame Fruit is mine! What do you want? Just say the word!" Shiki's voice trembled with excitement. He knew that directly taking it would only attract Brian's monster girl army. The best way was to satisfy this greedy brat's appetite.

He sheathed his knife, threw out his most crucial trump card, and quickly seized the initiative.

"Brian, I'm giving you complete blueprints for biological and mechanical modifications! These blueprints combine the research technology I plundered from the World Government, enough to increase the combat power of your clone maid crew several times over!"

"Furthermore, the King Ore I plundered from Mary Geoise can provide you with rare materials for weapon manufacturing!" Shiki's offer directly targeted Brian's technological system, demonstrating his understanding of Brian's research direction.

Brian's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of interest rising within him. Shiki's modification technology was precisely the industrial-grade technology he currently lacked.

He then glanced contemptuously at the enraged old woman who had been beaten to it by Shiki: "Charlotte Linlin, I don't need your dessert. Your children are nothing but second-rate fighters in front of my monster girl army."

These words pierced Charlotte Linlin's pride like steel needles. She opened her mouth wide and let out a beast-like growl, but a cold glance from Rocks forced her to suppress her rage.

"Ski, your offer is very sincere." Brian changed the subject, but did not immediately close the deal.

Shiki's eagerness was palpable, indicating that the bargaining chips weren't enough. I needed to squeeze every last drop of value out of him, especially his intelligence networks, which were the key to the God Valley operation.

Brian walked to another freezer he had shown on the table. There lay a dark gray fruit, its surface smooth, as if it absorbed the surrounding light.

"Since you've brought out technology," Brian's voice carried a playful yet authoritative tone as he pointed to the fruit, "this is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit I discovered in the Silent Realm (mentioned in Chapter 29). I call it—the Silence-Silence Fruit!"

He explained, "It can create an absolutely silent field, absorbing all sound and vibration, concealing your aerial fortress and enabling a silent attack. It has immeasurable strategic value. It perfectly compensates for your airborne pirate crew's lack of stealth!"

Shiki's expression changed drastically. The power of the Silence-Silence Fruit had struck a nerve! His flying pirate crew was too large a target in the air; once discovered, they would easily be targeted by concentrated Marine fire. The stealth provided by the Silence-Silence Fruit would be revolutionary.

"But you need to raise the stakes for the Flame-Flame Fruit!" Brian pushed the two freezers containing the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Silence-Silence Fruit in front of Shiki, raising the stakes to an unavoidable level.

"Greedy brat!" Shiki cursed, his heart aching to the extreme, but he couldn't resist the temptation of these two forces.

Damn Brian! For the sake of the ultimate fire in aerial combat, I had no choice but to endure it! But sacrificing this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit has already crippled me!

He gritted his teeth, took out a fruit that flashed with purple lightning and resembled an oriental dragon from a safe engraved with a golden lion emblem, and slammed it heavily on the table, making a dull sound.

"Brian! This is my most treasured possession! Mythical Zoan type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Thunder Dragon Mode! It has the ability to control lightning and storms, a power even rarer than Ancient Zoan!" Shiki's voice was hoarse with pain.

Not satisfied, he pushed over two large chests filled with gold and silver treasures, which glittered with the light of pewter and various gems.

"I'll give you another five billion Berries! And all the cannon casting materials for my three main battleships! This is the limit of what I can offer! You take this top-tier rare fruit and my core combat force supplies! The Flame-Flame Fruit must be mine!"

A flicker of horror crossed Whitebeard Newgate's eyes. A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, 5 billion Berries, plus the modification blueprints and Uranus ore—the price already exceeded the market value of the Flame-Flame Fruit itself! Shiki had gone mad for air superiority and destructive power.

Brian was overjoyed.

The Mythical Zoan type Thunder Dragon Fruit—this will be another top-tier strategic fruit for the Monster Girl Army! He traded a Paramecia-type fruit, plus a top-tier Logia-type fruit that he couldn't use, for this Mythical Zoan type fruit, as well as countless treasures.

Make a fortune!

Brian feigned composure and suppressed his smile: "Very good, Golden Lion, I am very satisfied with your sincerity."

Brian glanced at the other people in the room and saw that there weren't many bids coming in. He knew that Skeeter's bid was the highest.

He pushed the freezer containing the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Silence-Silence Fruit toward Shiki.

Shiki's hands trembled with excitement as he carefully collected the two fruits. At that moment, his fear and anger towards Brian were replaced by ecstasy at this supreme power.

When the old woman saw the Flame-Flame Fruit fall into Shiki's hands, she flew into a rage. She suddenly stood up, and her frenzied aura almost overturned everything around her. Her huge shadow enveloped Shiki.

"Shiki! How dare you! This is mine!" the old woman screamed, the Homies in the air began to distort, her face turned ashen, and even the cake in her hand lost its flavor.

"Damn it, Shiki, you bastard! You've been hiding such a top-tier mythical beast, and it's even a Thunder Dragon! Damn it, Shiki, you've never shown off even a single thing about something this good, you bastard!"

Lingling felt no tenderness towards Shiki, the man she had once shared a bed with; her heart was filled with resentment and even disgust towards him.

You should know that these days, she has very few of the best items in her possession; they're kept very well hidden.

Although Shiki the Golden Lion was wary of Big Mom, he had already obtained the power. He laughed arrogantly, "Oh ho ho! Linlin, this is a deal! You only know how to exchange sweets for power, serves you right for not getting it! Your second-rate children are not worthy of this kind of power!"

The old lady completely lost control and was about to attack Shiki when Rocks, sitting in the main seat, slammed his fist on the table!

"Enough!" Rocks' voice boomed like thunder, instantly suppressing the anger of the two men.

"The Flame-Flame Fruit has been decided, the exchange will continue!" Rocks warned the two executives with a cold gaze. He would not allow any uncontrollable internal compromises to occur before the final action.

And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the deal for the Logia-type Devil Fruit was finalized, but Brian's strategic objectives were far from over.

He acquired Shiki's strategic technology, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, immense wealth, and leverage to check Shiki within the pirate crew in the future. He has already won the first round of this power feast.
