Chapter 247, the curse erupts! The world is boiling!
After taking the call, Lovett chuckled.
"You must have never been so interested in a man other than the Tianlong people, Lord Xiao... What's the point of calling me today?"
"You did it, right?"
However, he ignored Lovett's joke and asked seriously.
"What did I do?"
"Stop pretending!"
Xiao's tone was cold: "The only problem with your Baroque News Agency's ability is that you don't know about this matter. Don't treat me as a fool."
Lovett: "Uh..."
Well, I did forget about them.
At first, only Charlotte Owen was captured, and Lovett could only transform him into a Soul Web node to monitor the development of the curse.
But even if this insider was eliminated by Katakuri, with the intelligence capabilities demonstrated by Baroque News Agency, it would be a problem if he didn't know what happened to the Big Mom Pirates.
However, Lovett's expression remained unchanged and he shrugged helplessly.
"That's why I have to pretend to be stupid, Mr. Xiao, because I know that you will definitely doubt me."
Xiao: "..."
Are you still feeling aggrieved?!
How come this person keeps telling lies and has a reason when he is exposed?
Behind the mask, Xiao's face was speechless.
"But it's true that I didn't do this."
Lovett said: "Jiu must have been studied by you for a long time. He knows best whether I can take action against Big Mom."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao became speechless and frowned.
"It's really not you?"
"Of course not me!"
This kind of thing can easily destroy a family and cause the Tianlong people to be extremely jealous. I only admit it when I am sick.
Lovett laughed secretly in his heart.
There is no need to guess. After the Five Old Stars learned about the great horror that occurred in the new world, their first reaction was definitely to protect the Tianlong people!
Known threats are not threats, unknown threats are the real threats!
So he can never admit it.
Everything has a degree.
Beyond that "degree", the balance will be broken.
Before becoming a Shichibukai, he did not dare to massacre civilians to seize souls and regain his strength because of this relationship. Becoming an enemy to the whole world sounds passionate, but he does not have enough strength to support it, and he is just looking for death.
"That would be troublesome..."
Xiao Xiao didn't know what Lovett was thinking. Hearing this, he frowned.
If Lowit wasn't the one to do it, then who should they be guarding against?
As Lovett said, owls have already experimented with doves.
The one-year agreement was established precisely because of the skeletonized God of Death who appeared in the center of the battlefield that day.
Jiu nodded recklessly and agreed to be a witness, becoming the notary of the matter.
But the results of the experiment are natural. If Jiu wants to make any unfair judgment, such as judging Big Mom to have violated his promise, he will be overwhelmed by the invisible fear and almost die.
So the Black Earl will definitely not take action against the Big Mom Pirates later!
Because even Big·Mom didn’t dare to violate the agreement and take action against him.
But here comes the question, who else would he be if he wasn't doing something that would be of great benefit to him?
Is such an evil and terrifying method really a curse?
Xiao Xiao thought silently.
Then he couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Lovett said: "But I am quite happy to be misunderstood by you. After all, she and I are enemies!"
Shameless!
The corner of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched.
"Speaking of which, I have been in seclusion recently and the things I know are limited. Sir Xiao, can you tell me how far it has developed?"
Hearing this, Xiao remembered the photos he saw in the intelligence and answered with lingering fear.
"It might as well tell you."
"This is also the reason why I called you."
After a pause, he spoke solemnly: "You asked me how far it has progressed? I can only answer, it's tragic!"
"oh?"
A trace of curiosity flashed in Lovett's eyes.
Without Charlotte Owen, and the soul network that laid out the black market could not penetrate deep into the territory of the Yonko, he really didn't know the follow-up of this matter.
"First it was Charlotte Owen who killed Charlotte Rezan, then Charlotte Mascaponi killed her twin sister Charlotte Joscapponi...and then everything went wrong.
tidy."
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Big Mom's sons and daughters are killing each other like crazy. At first, they were worried about Big Mom, and they only dared to attack when they were withdrawing their troops after the battle with Kaido."
"But soon someone broke the situation and took action in the mainland of Wan Guo."
Having said this, Xiao Xiao swallowed: "Then before Big Mom could get angry, a horrific murder case completely broke out, and the entire world was thrown into chaos."
There is no doubt that the curse has already taken effect.
But when concentrated it explodes...
It really does serve as a role model, right?
Lovett was convinced.
After enduring for nearly a year, the already hungry members of the Charlotte family saw that someone had finally taken action regardless of their mother's existence, so they wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters.
But as everyone knows, pigs think the same way.
Then, disaster completely struck.
"Then what's even more terrifying is..."
Suddenly, Xiao said in a cold tone: "We took advantage of the civil strife in the world to investigate the cause and found out that they did not kill our brothers and sisters for any other reason, but simply because of hunger."
"In other words, that's when we learned that none of the victims had any bodies left."
"Because the murderer ate his victim!"
"They are eating people!"
"Eat your own brothers and sisters!"
Eating is the body's instinct.
If Katakuri asked more, he would know that he is not the only one in the family who has nightmares.
Well, of course, predicting nightmares is his only thing.
But it does not affect the results.
There are so many brothers and sisters in the Charlotte family, but not everyone is like him who was planted with a curse by Lovett himself and can erase it with his firm will.
Nightmares erode their thoughts again and again, making them become neither human nor ghosts, and they may even think that those are their original thoughts rather than external interference.
"Now the nations are in complete chaos. A large number of residents are fleeing for safety. The islands are empty of houses. There is no one to replace the dead ministers. Everything is in chaos."
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao said in a solemn tone: "Should I congratulate you for getting rid of a threat without even a single blow?"
With the current situation of Wan Guo, even if the one-year agreement is about to expire, Big Mom will not be able to take action to seek revenge against him.
Hearing this, Lovett smiled.
"Look what you said."
"Don't forget, even your first reaction was caused by me. That big mom must hate me to the core now."
Lovett said: "It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, as long as she thinks I did it, that is enough reason to do it."
And, so do you.
Lovett added silently in his heart.
"So, I'm really in big trouble now, Lord Xiao."
"Should I be happy to hear you surrender?"
"That depends on... what you think."
In this regard, Xiao Xiao remained silent.
…
The tragedy that happened to the Big Mom Pirates cannot be hidden from anyone.
Soon, the news spread across the sea.
But any shock in the past was inferior to this incident. It was more of fear than shock or sensation.
The Whitebeard Pirates were silent about this, the Beast Pirates were silent, and the Red-Haired Pirates were silent.
But the three parties strangely maintained a tacit understanding and did not take advantage of the situation.
"This is a curse! This is retribution!"
In the Chambord Islands, a drunken pirate said loudly in the tavern: "That evil old woman Big Mom destroyed more than a dozen islands just because she couldn't eat sweets. Now the ghosts of the dead have come to seek revenge!"
"
"Shit curse!"
Hearing this, another group of pirates smiled disdainfully: "I think you are frightened by the Black Earl's ability. If the dead can seek revenge on the living, why can I still be alive today?"
"If you ask me, even if it is a curse, it must be a curse cast by the Black Earl."
Suddenly, a pirate looked around cautiously, and when he saw that there was no reporter from the Baroque News Agency, he whispered: "The monster that controls death can even resurrect the dead. Isn't it easy to do something to the living?"
As soon as these words came out, the tavern became quiet.
Then...
"Uh, why are you all looking at me like that?"
He scratched his head in confusion.
"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"
Some pirates couldn't stand it: "If it was really Earl Black who did it, Big Mom would have come to the door by now."
"That's right, don't talk about Big Mom, do you really think he dares to break the one-year agreement that the World Government has staked on his face as a witness? Are you tired of living?"
Slap the World Government and Yonko Big Mom in the face at the same time?
Then you are very brave!
Being crowded around, the man blushed and spread his hands.
"Then why do you tell me?"
Hearing this, everyone in the tavern fell silent.
Yes, if it weren't for the Black Earl, could the cannibalism that happened among the Big Mom Pirates really be a curse?
