Basire looked at this naive old man and just chuckled.
One life in exchange for three favors is not a worthwhile business.
"First, help me use observation haki to nourish this orb. Don't reject me yet, hear me out."
"I am going to get the vampire fruit back this time. If you refuse, I will let others eat it as soon as I find the fruit and you will never have the chance to see the vampire fruit in your life."
Basire said calmly. After so many days of investigation, the Big Daddy Pirates had indeed found information about Sleeping Ancient Town and its location.
Next, Basire will go out in person to bring back the mythical vampire fruit, and at the same time, he will have to make contact with Stussy.
Now that Basire has mastered Observation Haki, he has become more and more proficient with the use of his devil fruits.
The most important thing is that his barrier fruit has reached the edge of awakening, and no one, not even the other Yonkōs, should be able to break his defense.
So he is almost ready to launch his plan and is not afraid of going to war with one or two of the Five Elders.
"You really found the vampire fruit!!"
Redfield looked at Basire with a gloomy expression. This kid was indeed stronger than Roger and Newgate when they were young.
When he was as young as Basire, he wasn't as strong as him, and the current Basire already has the terrifying strength of his peak period.
But now, he is just an old man and has gotten weaker.
He had thought many times that after escaping from prison, he would find the vampire fruit and return himself to the peak of his youth.
"First quickly infuse some future observation haki."
Basire did not continue to answer the Red Count's words and handed over the divination orb.
The old man glanced at Basire angrily. For the news about the vampire fruit, he could only listen to his words and used his observation haki to foresee the future.
"It can actually absorb observation haki??"
Redfield said with some shock. He had seen famous swords that actively absorbed armament haki, and also seen famous swords that could absorb conqueror's haki and inspire conqueror's infusion.
But he really hasn't seen anything that absorbs observation haki.
"That's right, put more in it, and I'll let you eat more later to regain your strength."
Basire looked at the responsive divination orb and showed a satisfied smile. From now on, he would look for an opportunity for the old man to charge the divination orb whenever he could. Anyway, he was just idle in the prison.
"Kid, after you find the vampire fruit, give it to me and I will take action for you ten times."
Redfield made his own terms while using observation haki to foresee the future.
However, he was soon shocked that his haki actually failed to see Basire's next words.
Basire also saw his shock.
"Hehe, this is something I have learned recently. The very rare knowledge of observation killing can make you immune to other people's future predictions."
Basire's eyes also flashed a little red, which was an important reason why he had been practicing with Madam Shyarly recently. In order to practice this ability, he even put aside Stussy and the Red Count for many days.
He didn't know why the power on the divination orb was so advanced. He felt that Joy Boy might have come into contact with it as well.
This failed sun god from eight hundred years ago is estimated to be stronger than the pirate king Roger and Red-haired Shanks.
But he still died at the hands of Imu and the Twenty Kings, and even the huge straw hat became Imu's trophy.
"Kid, your growth rate is incredible. I believe you will definitely surpass Roger."
The Red Count suddenly said seriously while thinking how he, Roger, Newgate, Shiki and others had gone through decades of fighting before they had such strong fighting power.
Unexpectedly, Basire only took a year or two. This kind of person is really too absurd.
"Hey, Basire, since you are so strong, why don't you let me go and let's have a good fight. If you win, I will get on your boat; if you lose, I will leave."
"But after getting on your ship, if I can defeat you in the future, I will quit your pirate group, but then I will also let you live."
"My goal has always been to be the strongest in the world. Do you dare to try it?"
Perhaps because he heard the words 'surpass Roger', Bullet, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Basire with sharp eyes.
Back then, he boarded the ship of the Roger Pirates in order to challenge Roger. Now, for the sake of freedom and becoming stronger, it is not impossible for him to temporarily submit to Basire's command.
"Then why didn't you say this when we were in Impel Down?"
Hearing that Bullet also came to chat, Basire became interested. This guy can defeat 11 supernovas in an instant, so he is very powerful.
In the end, it was the combined power of the Shichibukai, Marines, and Supernova that finally brought him down.
"Hey! What was your strength back then in Impel Down? Were you qualified to be my captain then?"
"And you didn't dare to let me and Redfield go at that time."
"Now I heard that you already have the power of four fruits, and now your Conqueror's Haki has become significantly stronger, so you finally have the power to interest me."
Bullet said disdainfully, because back then, Basire's strength was completely inferior to a Marine Admiral, which made him look down upon him.
But now, Basire's strength has improved a lot, and he can match the fighting power of the Yonkōs, and maybe he has become as strong as Whitebeard and Roger in their prime.
"Sorry, I almost forgot!"
Basire also reacted. His recent strength has soared so fast that he almost forgot that when he went to Impel Down as a Shichibukai, his strength was indeed a bit lacking.
No wonder Redfield and Bullet looked down upon him completely and were too lazy to listen to this young rookie like Basire.
But now his strength has increased dramatically, and he can now be on par with them in terms of strength, and can even suppress them.
In addition, Basire also controls their lives.
That's why the attitudes of these two guys began to change towards him.
In this world, strength and fists have always spoken!
"Then I promise you, let's fight one-on-one. If I win, you have to enter my crew. If I lose, you can leave."
"But if I beat you, you will only have one chance to challenge me every year. I don't have time to fight with you everyday!"
Basire thought for a moment and felt that his current strength was enough to deal with Bullet, so he agreed to his request.
The key is that Bullet also has a devil fruit power, so he can restrain him even more.
If Basire can have this fighting maniac under his command, maybe he will have the confidence to attack the other Four Emperors.
He wonders if this will force Charlotte Linlin and Kaido to form an alliance in advance.
