Vivian pondered for a moment, her expression conflicted.
Smoker frowned and looked at Vivian. "What happened?"
Vivian grabbed her collar with her fingers and slowly pulled it down. She turned around and exposed the back of her neck to Smoker. "Shiki the Golden Lion released a kind of poison in the East Sea before he died. It's a kind of green plant. It will spread through the air and then into the human body. After a period of incubation, it will grow in the human body and animals like roots. Eventually, it will cover the whole body and become a moss-like plant."
"Green plant? Poison? Moss? " Smoker was stunned. Then, a chill took root from his feet. He blurted out, "The green plant you're talking about can't be the moss on those colored ores, right?"
"In the early stages of poisoning, you will become irritable and anxious. Then, green spots will gradually appear on the surface of the skin. This means that the poison has accumulated to a certain level in the body." Vivian gently pushed her hair behind her head with a trembling voice.
The green spots were reflected in Smoker's pupils. The latter's expression changed abruptly. "Impatience, irritability, green spots … These facts have already appeared."
"Where did you hear these things?" Smoker grabbed Vivian's shoulders and stared at her. "You knew which plants were poisonous from the beginning? No … Bale brought them back. He would not poison you. How did you know which plants were poisonous? "
Vivian looked into Smoker's eyes and answered word by word, "I just met Yarlin. He told me all this. Is he telling the truth?"
Smoker loosened his grip. He should have known the answer. "That's right. Yarlin's marine club in the East Sea was destroyed by Shiki the Golden Lion. He must be very concerned about the situation in the East Sea. It's possible that he could quickly get the news from his subordinates."
Pacing back and forth, Smoker dialed the headquarters' number several times before hanging up with a gloomy expression. He turned to Vivian for confirmation. "The news is confidential. I've asked my colleagues at the headquarters, but none of them are aware of the matter. But they did tell me that Sakasugi did send a team of navy to deliver some green bottles to the headquarters' research center."
"Moreover, Golden Lion Shiki is dead, but Sakasugi didn't return to headquarters at once. Instead, he's still lingering in the Eastern Sea, seemingly presiding over a certain task — a large-scale incineration of islands." Smoker's mind spun quickly as he pieced together all kinds of information. He said in a deep voice, "The islands that were burned were all the Golden Lion Shiki's sunken islands. Those islands are the remains of the sunken islands. It's impossible to burn them for no reason, so the plants on the islands should be burned!"
"What Yarlin said is true!"
After comparing Yarlin's words with Smoker's, Vivian came to this conclusion. Inexplicably, she felt relieved.
"Is there an antidote for the poison? What else did Yarlin say? " Smoker suddenly felt a little annoyed. He didn't believe that Yarlin suddenly appeared just to send him a message. There must be other intentions.
"There is no antidote for the time being!" Vivian let go of her hair and covered her collar tightly. She was no longer the weak princess she used to be. Instead, she had a strong heart. She forced herself to calm down. "Arlen knows about our plan. He suggested that we continue with it."
Smoker asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what happened to Bale. The colored ore was not transported back, so the dancing powder can't continue to be produced. However, the poison has covered Alba with the falling rain." Vivian said coldly, "Compared to the dancing powder, this poison will cause more panic and anger, and all of this can be blamed on Crocodile!"
Smoker was silent. He waved his fist fiercely. There was a trace of blood in his eyes. He couldn't remove the poison. The only thing he could do was to continue to use the poison to eradicate Crocodile and avenge Tashigi.
"Is there anything else?" Smoker asked coldly.
"Colonel Yarlin will lure Crocodile out for us, and then Colonel Smoker will solve Crocodile for you." Vivian said.
"Very good!" Smoker lit the cigar and took a deep breath. "Everything is solved by us. He only needs to add fuel to the fire in the dark. It's really in line with Yarlin's style!"
Vivian knew that there had been friction between Smoker and Colonel Yarlin. She frowned and explained, "Colonel Yarlin will hold down another Shichibukai for us. Crocodile has an ally in the dark."
"There is another Shichibukai?" Smoker's fingertips holding the cigar trembled violently. He didn't notice any clues. "Who is it?"
A picture of being chased appeared in Vivian's mind. Countless needles and threads were shot densely. At that time, it was indeed two people who intercepted her and Colonel Yarlin.
It's just that she didn't associate the other person with Shichibukai at the beginning. It wasn't until Yarlin told her that she understood how terrifying that night was.
And Colonel Arlen was able to escape from the joint forces of the two Shichibukai, I'm afraid that he must have paid a heavy price to survive. To be able to face the two Shichibukai alone, this is really risking his life to save himself.
Vivian thought so and became more and more grateful to Yarlin. She said the name to Smoker in a cold voice, "Doflamingo!"
"The most dangerous man in the world!" Smoker's heart was cold and he felt that it was tricky. That is a more terrifying and dangerous character than Crocodile. "Are you sure Yarlin didn't lie to you?"
"I'm very sure!" Vivian gritted her teeth and said, "That night, in addition to Crocodile, there was an extremely terrifying guy who ambushed and chased me. Now that I think about it, it should be Doflamingo!"
Smoker's heart was filled with fear and joy. He couldn't imagine that if he didn't know this in advance, he would have died when he suddenly faced two Shichibukai.
"No wonder the report of the headquarters determined the fact that Yarlin was dead. Who could have predicted that a Marine Captain could survive the joint attack of two Shichibukai!" Smoker's heart was filled with regret, but he didn't guess that Yarlin really died once.
Smoker licked the remaining half of the cigar on the tip of his tongue and the crumbs slid down his fingers. He said, "In this case, Doflamingo will be handed over to Yarlin and Crocodile will be handed over to me!"
