77. Null and Big Mom Pirates
"In your dream Bastard!" Just when Big Mom wanted to close the phone due to an impulsive rage, Perospero imediately stopped her.
"Perorin...Mama, please don't be impulsive."
"What do you want Perospero?!" Growled Big Mom seeing her children action.
"I think i know who this Null is, for now let me talk to him, perorin." Explained Perospero trying to diffuse the tense situation.
Big Mom harrumphed as she gave the snail phone to her son,
"Perorin, 'Poison King Null', I'm Perospero..." Spoke Perospero calmly.
"...Are you in charge? If you can't make a decision then fuck off, let Charlotte Linlin talk to me...!"
Perospero contenance couldn't help but turned ugly hearing Null cold and impolite tone, glancing at the fuming Big Mom besides him, he took a deep breath before saying,
"I might be of some help with the talk, Mr.Null, i'm sure you can understand...perorin."
The snail phone paused for a moment, "...fine, 1.2 billion Bellies for everyone other than Katakuri, and 2 billion for the later...!"
Big mom gnashed her teeth hearing Null increasing the price for her son.
Perospero too tried his hardest to not crush the snail phone on his hand, "Perorin, that was not nice Mr.Null, earlier you said 1 billion for Katakuri.."
"...3 Billion...!"
"GO TO HELL!!!" Big Mom cried out loud hearing the outrageous demand from Null.
"Mr,Null, please don't waste our time with your game, the more we delay the more our siblings have to suffer in Impel Down...Perorin."
Big Mom pirates still doesn't know that their crews were being held captive at G-2 base and not Impel down, if they knew, Null(Kimimaro) couldn't ask for a ransom as the pirates would raid the base themselves.
Taking advantage the secrecy of the pirates captive, Kimimaro wanted another assistance from Big Mom. The money was only secondary as his biggest concern wasn't it.
As there was no response from the snail phone, Perospero couldn't help but asked once again,
"Mr.Null?"
"....4 Billion..."
"Okay Mr.Null, i think you're quite insincere in this talk, what is it? I'm sure you have another demand from us right? Perorin..."
Kimimaro chuckled coldly, as the fish had almost bite the lure.
"...you're smart, your name is Perospero right? I think that your mother need to learn from you in this regard..."
Big Mom tall body trembled as her intelligent being questioned, Perospero smiled helplessly as he tried to pacified his mom before he got pummeled.
"Perorin, enough with small talk Mr.Null, tell us what you want!" Feeling impatient, Perospero raised his voice.
"...i've no problem with our initial price, 1.2 Billion other than Katakuri and 1 Billion for the later..."
"Okay, perorin..."
"...There's just this tiny inconvenient about to happen, i want Big Mom pirates to intercept Whitebeard pirates and prevent them from entering Mermaid Island..."
Perospero paused as he looked toward his mom, the latter seems had calm down considerably and felt intrigued hearing Null's demand.
"Perorin, Why?"
"...i think it doesn't matter to tell you, i've some dealing in Mermaid island, and recently for some reason, Whitebeard pirates wanted to fortify it..."
"Why should we go to war with Whitebeard? I think you overestimate my siblings price, perorin..."
Null chuckled slightly, "...Who asked you to go to war against Whitebeard? i just wanted your pirate group to prevent them to enter the Mermaid Island..."
Perospero paused as he tried to weigh the pros and cons on accepting Null's demand, then Null's voice came out once again.
"..1 year, i just need your assistance for that duration. Not too long..."
Perospero shook his head and replied, "1 year is impossible, perorin. 1 month..."
"...I don't think you have the right to bargain Perospero...1 year!"
Perospero gritted his teeth and tried to bargain back and forth against Null.
After quite a while, Big Mom finally couldn't wait anymore. She took the snail phone forcefully from Perospero and yelled towards Null,
"BASTARD! FINE! 2 BILLION FOR MY CHILDREN! ALL OF THEM!"
Seeing his mom impulsive tendency coming out, Perospero was about to snatch the phone back before he heard his mom yelled once again,
"...AND 5 MONTHS TO PREVENT WHITEBEARD TO ENTER MERMAID ISLAND! LAST OFFER!"
Big Mom huge breasts undulating heavily after she tried to hold on her temper, if Null still doesn't accept her last demand, then she will just raid Impel Down herself and rescue her children!
And if its not possible, then she will destroy Disco and everyone who had dealing with slave trading in Underworld. For her children, she doesn't care if underworld getting destroyed! At that time, she will also hunt this despicable Null herself!
However, after waiting for quite a while, Perospero gulped slightly when he thought Null would reject his mom offer.
Then Null's cold voice came once again,
"...We have a deal Charlotte Linlin. 2 Billion for your children, all of them. And 5 months on the matter of Whitebeard pirates..."
Big Mom sighed heavily, before she respond, "Good! we have a deal!"
Then without caring anything anymore Big Mom gave Perospero the phone as she went outside while bringing her huge cuirass. She need to vent her anger and wrath after the discussion with Null, so, she simply left!
Perospero sighed as he saw his mom trembling figure due to her wrath, then, he calmly continued their discussion regarding his siblings rescue, the ransom, and about Whitebeard.
The following discussion contains :
1. Null will help the Charlotte siblings to escape from Impel Down.
2. Each month, Null will let the siblings go one by one for the duration of 5 months, starting from the quintuplet until the last person which is Katakuri.
3. Big Mom will pay the corresponding ransom in installment for the next 5 months via the "Palace" under the broker 'Queen of Pleasure District' which had opened her branch on Wholecake islands.
4. Regarding Whitebeard pirates, Null give the decision to Big Mom to deal with it as they see fit, he will not under any circumstances interfere with Big Mom decision. as long as his initial demand had been satisfied.
5. Big Mom pirates will prevent Whitebeards pirates to enter Mermaid Island in any circumstances for the duration of 5 months, fail to do so. Big Mom pirates need to pay Null 5 times the remaining ransom which have not been paid yet in installments period.
6, this contract will be effective immediately as of date. exchange of the batch of children will be happenning at 5th each month and the location for the exchange will be determined by Null.
After Perospero wrote the contract and confirmed it once again with Null, they finally ended the discussion.
"...good to do business with you, if there's any venture in the future, i'll let you know first.."
"Kukukuku, i hope you don't renegade the contract Mr.Null..." Perospero gritted his teeth in hatred seeing the contract.
"...Well, to show my regards i'll send some candies each time the Charlotte siblings released..."
"Should i say thank you? Perorin..."
*clack..
Without any regards, Null closed the line and left Perospero hanging on the other side.
*Bam!
Perospero finally snapped as he whacked the poor snail phone.
"Kukukuku...Poison King Null, don't let us catch a whiff of yours in underworld, dare to blackmailed us? Kukukukuku, Perorin...." Perospero snarled menacingly.
