"I have to say, I'm honored to be speaking to a boss man like you." The person from the other side of the transponder snail said. The snail's face reflected an ugly smile with missing teeth. "So, how can I help you?"

"You do know of Straw Hat Luffy, right?" He said, "I want you to get rid of him."

[Note: I haven't pointed out before, but Luffy has two epithets.

Straw Hat Luffy was given by the Marines.

Fallen Hero Luffy was given by the newspapers. Mainly Morgan hyping up Luffy as the next best thing since Shwarma.

That's why they are used interchangeably.]

The smile on the transponder snail dropped a bit. "I… I usually like being straight to the point. But this is… he's a Warlord, and he is strong enough to get that…"

"Don't waste my time, pirate." The World Noble said, "I know from the information I have on you, that you were looking for a way to get into the Warlord system. So what better way to kill the new brat that doesn't know his place?"

For a while, the pirate on the other side didn't speak, before he laughed, "Zehahahaha… I already like you Saint Camael. I will do it… I will kill that brat, but what do I get in return?"

Saint Camael looked at the transponder snail and said something that made the person on the other side stop with a jaw-drop expression.

"That… can you really do it?" Blackbeard asked. "But that fruit… I thought it was a legend?"

"So, do we have a deal pirate?"

"O-Of course," Blackbeard said, smiling with his all missing teeth, the transponder reflecting the disgusting smile. "But I take payment up front… that would also help me in taking down the new warlord."

"Sure…" the World Noble said, surprising Blackbeard on the other side. "I will be sending the fruit along with a few members that will help you in taking that crew down. Don't miss your chance."

"Who will come? The Cipher Pol? If so, I don't really need those broken unskilled agents for him." Teach said waving him off. "My crew might only have five members but I'm strong enough take the whole Straw Hat crew and then some… I'm a former Whitebeard pirate."

Camael scoffed, "Don't underestimate the boy. And you will be getting help. One of them is Green Bull Aramaki and the other one is Shiryu of the Rain." He said, the World Noble had to pull a lot of strings to get Shiryu out of Impel Down, but it should be worth it. "Along with them, I will be sending a few Pacifistas…"

"Paci-what?" Blackbeard asked.

"Human weapons developed by Dr. Vegapunk. They are basically, robotic clones of Warlord Kuma…"

Blackbeard's eyes widened, "So the rumors were true…" he mumbled. "I… why are you doing this…? With all of them, couldn't you take the new kid out? Straw Hat Luffy shouldn't be that strong…"

Saint Camael narrowed his eyes, "Know your place pirate…" he said, "And don't question my judgment. That pest needs to be dealt with by a pirate… and you will do it. But if you are hesitant I can look for someone else."

He was prohibited by the Five Elders to take action against Luffy, now that he was Warlord. All because to appease the public now that he was being celebrated as a new hero. But Saint Camael wasn't one to give up.

So, he hatched a plan. If he used other forces, pirates, and bounty hunters to attack the Warlord, then the public wouldn't know. Of course, he would get backlash from the Five Elders, with some of his property and toys being seized by them. But it would be worth it.

That son a bitch needed to die… he smiled cruelly thinking of Dragon's face when he would see news of his son's death in the newspaper.

"Now, why would I let you do that." Blackbeard grinned, "The kid's mine… send your cavalry to Jaya… I'm sure that the Straw Hats will pass through here if they ever leave Alabasta. If not, then we will have to attack that."

Saint Camael nodded, a grin appearing on his face. "You think well for a pirate… who knows this might set up a long-time business relationship between us."

"Zehahaha… oh, and I might be a bit authoritative, but tell Aramaki and Shiryu to follow my lead, and while with me, they would need to follow my orders." At the same time Blackbeard was thinking on how to make the new members stay on his crew permanently.

"Of course, as long as you kill the new Warlord in a month, I won't mind." Saint Camael dismissed. "Now, I have other things to do, places to be… have a good hunt."

"Aye!" with that the call ended.
