Chapter 202: A Devil Fruit Transaction Bathed in Blood
Poken, a man who had lived since the last era, stood tall once again in this age of chaos. He was from the same era as Kaido and his gang, which meant he was deeply familiar with the complicated relationship between Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Although he was enraged by Charlotte's recent insane behavior, he had no intention of killing her—he merely wanted to retaliate.
After all, killing Charlotte was unrealistic. Rather than dreaming about eliminating her, it made more sense to consider targeting Saya.
"Give the order," Poken instructed his subordinates coldly. "Have our men go around that crazy woman Charlotte's territory. Kill every last member of the Charlotte Pirates you come across."
"Also..." He raised his hand again and waved to stop them, adding with narrowed eyes, "Find a way to contact Saya. See if he has any interest in Charlotte."
The subordinates quickly nodded in acknowledgment, not daring to ask questions.
Their ship slowly approached the island shore, though they didn't land on the same side as the Black Glory. As a result, they hadn't yet run into the Black Crow Pirates—but it was only a matter of time before they did.
After docking, Poken headed straight toward the center of the island.
His purpose for coming to the World Expo this time was clear: devil fruits. Each World Expo hosted countless items up for sale, but for someone like Poken, the only things worth paying attention to were the devil fruits. He had no shortage of ordinary ones—but powerful ones were another story.
He wasn't certain whether this World Expo would offer any truly powerful fruits, but since several top-tier pirates were currently preoccupied elsewhere, he was determined to seize the opportunity and grab whatever he could.
Meanwhile, Mio remained unaware of what was happening along the shore.
By now, Mio had already reached the center of the island, where the most valuable goods were displayed. Countless pirates had set up stalls, and various merchant groups and slave-trading gangs were present too.
