76. Deal
*Driririririn....
After a while, suddenly Big Mom's personal Den-den Mushi(Snail phone) rang, startling the toys as they scurried to take the phone lest its ringing sound displeased Big Mom.
"Hello! Mama's chamber, how can i help you?" Said one of the toys innocently.
Big Mom was too engrossed with her meal, she let her toys to answer the phone, the toys could be seen nodded several times before it carefully brought the phone close towards Big Mom.
"Ma, Mama the phone's for you..." Said the toy with child innocent voice.
Big Mom continue her meal, yet she answered in between her bite.
"Hello...who's this?" Asked Big Mom nonchalantly.
the cold voice of an unfamiliar man coming from the phone, "Charlotte Linlin? Let's make a deal..."
Big Mom paused her meal and looked toward her personal phone, normally the snail face would turned similar into the one who held the phone on the other side, and indeed, the snail eyes turned blue with beautiful white lotus pattern as irides!
Big mom felt quite mesmerized by the snail eyes, she never knew that there was someone who posses such beautiful eyes in the world!
Intrigued by the peculiarity of the man appareance on the other side, Big Mom squinted her eyes.
"Who's this? Do i know you?"
"You can call me 'Null'..."
Big Mom thought for a while before she replied, "I don't know anyone with the name Null. anyway, what do you want?"
the man on the other side paused for a while before he continued in his cold voice, "...It doesn't matter if you don't know. as for the deal, i got some interesting offer regarding your children..."
While occasionally putting a slice of cake into her mouth, Big Mom asked, "...What offer? If you say that they got arrested, you are too late! I already knew about that."
"....That's why i said, lets make a deal. I can help you save your children from Impel Down..."
"How?"
"Easy there, lets calculate the quintuplet first, i want 100 million Bellies for each of them, and as for Smoothie, Oven, and Daifuku. i want half of their bounty! For their save return i just ask no more than 1.2 billion Bellies..."
*Crack!
Big Mom plate cracked as she held onto it to finish her cake, Hearing the outrageous demand from someone identified as Null.
Even if 1.2 Billion Bellies sounds astronomical, for her it was something she could afford, however, hearing those thing still displeased her greatly!
However, Big mom could still keep her temper in check, then she asked with trembled voice due to rage, "How about Katakuri? Why don't you include him?"
"...Katakuri was quite special, i have another price for him, do you want to hear it?"
Big Mom gritted her teeth, "How much?"
"1 billion!"
*BOOM!
Big Mom finaly snapped, her Haki bursting out uncontrollably! her throne room immediately burst open due to the intensity of her Haki!
"BASTARD!"
Looking at the unconscious toys and the snail phone, Big mom couldn't help but cursed.
Sudenly Perospero flashed inside the throne room which had been wrecked beyond recognition, He brought another phone snail and asked Big Mom in confusion,
"Perorin, Mama? What happened?"
Big Mom snapped back to reality, when she saw Perospero brought another phone snail, Big Mom couldn't help but raised an eyebrow.
"What's in your hand?"
Perospero immediately gave the phone snail forward, "Perorin, Phone call for you, he said he is Null..."
Big Mom face turned ugly immediately, however she still took the phone out of Perospero's hand. its eyes had already tranform into beautiful lotus pattern she saw before.
"...Charlotte Linlin, it wasn't very nice of you...." The cold voice of man from earlier could be heard once again.
"...Bastard! Do you think i will listen to your demand?" Big Mom snarled.
"...Easy, its only business deal. If you can't afford that price, I'm sure Mr.Disco's client will have interest for children of the famous pirates..."
Big Mom paused as she heard a familiar name, Disco was quite famous slave trader recently active in Underworld, he also had several business with Big Mom regarding slaves trading.
"Disco? That brat dare to do something to my children?" Shrieked Big Mom.
"...in front of lucrative business, who doesn't want more pocket money? moreover the children from someone hailed as the current era big pirates..."
Indeed, Big Mom has no doubt that his underworld partner would do something like selling her children, in front of money, one would succumb to their greed! especially someone like Disco who had several dealings with Celestial Dragon.
"Are you from Underworld?" Asked Big Mom feeling that she need to figure out the identity of the man on the other side.
"...It doesn't matters where i come from, do we have a deal..?"
