The conversation continued, and Sida's question was skipped. Faulkner and Gilas already knew that Sida had most likely fallen into Yarlin's hands as a means and bargaining chip to control and threaten them.
Of course, the deterrence effect of this threat was far greater than the actual effect. After all, Yarlin himself did not want Sida to see the light again.
On the surface, Investigator Sida was already a dead man!
Although there was a hidden meaning in the words of smart people, it was also very worry-free and would not entangle too much with some predetermined results.
"… Transferring the ability of someone else's Devil Fruit to you isn't something that can be created out of thin air. First of all, you need a captured ability user who has lost the ability to resist. After all, once his ability is transferred to you, it means that his life has come to an end." Yarlin's index finger gently tapped on the table and continued, "This is the prerequisite. One ability user corresponds to one transferred target. There are two of you, which means that you need to capture two ability users alive."
"Secondly, I have to bear a great burden and consumption every time I use this ability, so I can't use it frequently. In other words, I can only use this ability at most once in a while. You two can discuss who will use it first. I don't care."
The pupils of Faulkner and Gilas shrank slightly at the same time, then they quietly glanced at each other with a sinister expression. Yarlin saw all of this.
In fact, there was no such thing as consumption and restriction. He did this because of his cautious nature. On one hand, he did not want Faulkner and Gilas to achieve what they wanted too quickly, so he had to maintain an attitude of needing his help. This way, it would be easier for him to unknowingly tighten the rope and firmly control the two in his hands. On the other hand, he was preparing for a rainy day. There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. If this ability could be detected by Faulkner and Gilas today, there was no guarantee that it would not be detected by others in the future, or even directly by the headquarters and the World Government. The information and concealment exposed today was likely to weaken some kind of fear of the higher-ups at that juncture, thus leading the dangerous situation to his advantage again.
Value?
Danger?
To put it bluntly, it was a wild horse that could be reined in, or a sharp blade that would cut through his skin. Sometimes, a sword that was too sharp was not a good thing!
Yarlin's index finger tapping on the table paused. His gaze swept across the faces of Gilas and Faulkner. "These are the preconditions. Next is the reward I want to ask for to make up for the consumption I suffered in the process of using my ability."
"We've already helped you get rid of Smoker, and we've even helped you modify this investigation report …" Gilas interrupted in a dark tone.
"I was the one who dealt with Smoker. At best, you guys were just going through the motions. This investigation report was originally the trouble you guys brought me, so it's only right that you guys dealt with it yourselves. Besides, this is also a kind of precondition. It's the prerequisite for this transaction." Yarlin smiled and stretched out three fingers. "First, the information of the 10 Devil Fruit users is limited to the pirates. Don't be those who are very famous and have already registered in the headquarters. It's best if they are not too eye-catching but have good abilities. I need the relevant information of 10 such ability users. I believe this kind of thing is not too laborious for an intelligence organization. Second, if I'm not mistaken, the fast-moving body technique used by Gilas should be the rumored Marine's Rokushiki. I need the information of a Marine who is proficient in the Rokushiki, or six Marines who have mastered one of the Rokushiki."
"If you want to learn the Rokushiki, I can help you find the information and training methods of the Rokushiki, but why do you need to find someone who is proficient in the Rokushiki?" Faulkner was stunned.
"It's too slow to learn according to the drawings. It's better to have a teacher to teach me step by step." Yarlin replied immediately, then stretched out a third finger and said: "Seastone, I need all the information about Seastone."
"That's impossible. Seastone is a Level 1 strategic reserve resource of the World Government. All the relevant information is top-secret information. It's not something we can access. On the contrary, we can agree to the first two conditions." Faulkner thought for a moment and said, "As for the first condition, I can give you the information of 20 ability users that you'll be satisfied with. They can all meet your requirements, but two of them will be chosen by Gilas and I. We hope that Colonel Arlen can capture them for us."
"22!" Yarlin thought for a moment and said.
"Deal!" Faulkner replied without hesitation.
"Then the third condition." Yarlin rolled his eyes slightly and said the alternative conditions: "I need some scientists, preferably in the field of biological research. It may be difficult to find a top scientist, but I won't make it difficult for you. Give me a scientific team that has some strength but is not famous. Give me their information and I will find a way to get them to me."
Faulkner and Gilas showed a surprised and uncertain expression at the same time. Yarlin's condition was beyond their imagination. It didn't seem like a field that a Marine Colonel should reach out to.
"What do you want to do?" Faulkner asked vigilantly. From a certain point of view, once the deal started, it meant that they and Yarlin were tied together. They didn't want Yarlin to do something dangerous.
"Don't worry, I always do things secretly. I won't give myself away. I just want to figure out the principle of my ability and then try to develop it." Yarlin said faintly: "We are not doing a one-time deal. After we gain mutual trust, we will certainly carry out a long-term mutually beneficial relationship. The increase of my strength or the climb of my status will certainly be beneficial to both of you in the long run."
Faulkner and Gilas looked at each other, then nodded and said to Yarlin: "We can agree to all three conditions, but we need a certain amount of time to collect information and screen it. We will contact you as soon as we are ready."
While talking, Faulkner took out the Den Den Mushi that he had already prepared and handed it to Yarlin and explained: "The Den Den Mushi has been encrypted by special means. It can prevent eavesdropping and can only be used for single line communication. Don't use it unless there is an emergency."
