Chapter 812: It’s too easy to make money in this world!
Nojigo ran towards Aaron Park with an anxious look on his face.
Yesterday, she couldn't bear Lucy's request and told her about her past, which resulted in her not sleeping well all night. She was afraid that this young girl would act impulsively and go to challenge Aaron alone. Fortunately, when she woke up today, Lucy was still there, which made her feel relieved.
But after lunch, she fainted for no apparent reason. When she woke up, it was already evening, and Lucy was nowhere to be found at home, which made her nervous.
If it were someone else, she would probably think her house was robbed and would search the house to see if anything was missing. But if it was Lucy...
"She wouldn't really go looking for Aaron, would she? He's not someone she can handle at all!"
At this time, Nojigo was already sweating with anxiety. Thinking of the tragic situation that Lucy might encounter after facing Aaron, his heart suddenly tightened and his pace could not help but quicken by three points.
"Don't go! Don't go!! Don't go!!!"
"That is not something that humans can defeat!!!"
thump--!
At this time, Nojigo was worried about Lucy's safety, and he accidentally stepped on a protruding stone on the side of the road and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was not injured.
"hateful!!"
Nuo Qigao cursed inwardly, immediately stood up and continued to move towards his target, but he ran into a middle-aged man in police uniform.
"Nojigo? Where are you going??"
"Ajian?! I don't have time now, I'll talk to you later!"
"Hey! Wait..."
Ah Jian held out Er Kang's hand and stared blankly at Noki Gao's departing back. His expression suddenly changed, "Isn't that the direction of A'long Paradise? Could it be that something happened to Nami?"
Thinking of this, Ajian's face changed and he followed without hesitation.
…
Nami, who stole the Merry from Luffy, stopped the ship near the Cocosia Village. She returned home with the treasures she had looted from the voyage, but she couldn't find her sister Nokiko anywhere, and she suddenly became panicked.
Without any hesitation, she immediately ran towards Aaron Park. However, before she got close, she discovered from afar that the two-meter-high wooden gate had been blown to pieces for some reason, as if it had been hit by a cannonball.
"What happened?" Nami frowned and held the stick in her hand tighter.
As she got closer to the gate, Nami suddenly noticed two people standing at the door. Two people she was very familiar with, two people she could recognize just from their backs. They were the people she had been closest to in the past few years.
One is her elder sister Nuo Qigao whom she could not find anywhere, and the other is the police chief uncle Ajian who has taken good care of her since she was a child.
How come they are here?! Could it be...
Nami's face changed and she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was about to collect 100 million Beli, and those guys must not make mistakes at this time!
"What are you doing here..."
The voice that seemed to be complaining but was actually worried stopped abruptly when it saw the situation inside Aaron Park.
Nami was completely stunned, and even the wooden stick in her hand fell to the ice with a thud. After a brief daze, she felt relieved. The girl seemed to have lost all her strength and sat down on the ground, biting her lips. Tears flowed down her face uncontrollably, and she burst into tears uncontrollably, as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering she had endured in the past eight years in one breath.
Looking at Nami who ran to Aaron's body, took out a knife and stabbed him to vent her anger, and Ajian who was comforting her, Nokigo couldn't help but cry with joy.
"Thank you, Lucy!!"
That night, Nami slept soundly.
Kira doesn't know whether Nami will still follow Luffy after the scene of beating Arlong is gone.
Logically speaking, without the cool words "I won't let you make my navigator cry", and the beating of Arlong afterwards, it would be difficult for Nami to accept Pirates, right? If she really didn't go with them, wouldn't Luffy and the others have no navigator on their ship in the future? Then they wouldn't even be able to enter the Grand Line, right?
However, Luffy has the power to "attract everyone to himself". Maybe under the influence of the correction force, Nami will still go to sea with him for her dream?
Forget it. None of this is my business anyway. My goal is to find my partners, form an adventure group, and become famous around the world. Why should I care about Nika or Bu Nika?
…
Rogue Town.
"So, there really is a guy who sets fires here these days, right?"
"Sakura-colored hair, a white scarf, and a flying blue cat following her? All the features match!"
"What? The square and half of the street were destroyed? It's been a long time since we've seen this..."
"No, no, no... You heard me wrong. I said I'll never see this again. These losses have nothing to do with us."
After getting the news from the residents of Rogue Town, Kira came to Erza and the others. After glancing at the people with strange expressions, he smiled and said, "Are you all full? Then let's go and look for our next partner!"
"Wait for me!!!"
"The person just now was obviously talking about Natsu and Happy!"
"We all heard it! They must be right here! Why can you pretend like you didn't find them?!"
Facing the roars of Erza, Gray, and Lucy, Kira simply stretched out his right hand calmly: "Compensation!"
After two seconds of silence...
"How far is the next partner from here?"
"Actually, if we're looking for someone, wouldn't it be faster to go to the news agency?"
"That makes sense. If we just tell them where to gather, they will go over there when they see the message. This will definitely be more convenient than us looking for them one by one."
"Besides, I think..."
Urrutia and the other two were speechless as they watched Erza and the others discussing heatedly: These guys changed their expressions too quickly...
Having said so much, Natsu still has to be taken back, otherwise Lucy will have a tantrum on the ship later.
Even though she looks like she doesn't want to see those two guys, she might have been wanting to throw herself into Natsu's arms.
Besides, Fairy Tail has no precedent of abandoning its partners.
"They said that Naz needs to pay a lot of compensation , and we don't have that much money at the moment."
Thinking of this, Kira suddenly felt regretful. "I should have brought Aaron's head here earlier. It's worth 20 million Baileys!!"
The purchasing power of money in the One Piece world and the Fairy Tail world is similar, 1J is about 1 Bailey, so one Arlong is worth 20 million J, and among the people present, even the strongest Kira has only accepted a commission of 20 million J once! !
"What?! That shark is worth 20 million?!"
Erza, Gray and the others were instantly shocked. They couldn't control their emotions and yelled at Kira, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier ?!!"
Kira waved his hands and said with an annoyed look: "Don't mention it, I regret it now! I regret it so much!!"
In order to reassure the residents of the Arlong Empire and to give them an outlet for their emotions, and of course more because they thought it was dirty and troublesome, Kira and the others chopped off the fishmen, cleaned themselves, searched for a while, and then left without taking Arlong's head.
Urrutia was speechless: "Uh... Even if I said it, what would it matter? Didn't you cut its head in half? Have you ever seen a banknote that can be torn in half and still be used?"
That is also true...
Although he knew that what Urrutia said made sense, Gray couldn't help but mutter, "We should give it a try... that's 20 million!!"
"Kira, I remember you said there are many pirates with extremely high bounties in this world, right?"
“Yeah, that’s right!”
“That’s great!” Ultear’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Aaron alone has 20 million. I can’t even imagine how much money the pirates I’ll meet in the future will have… It’s too easy to make money in this world!!”
Eric pulled Melty aside and gossiped quietly, "Have you noticed that Urrutia is becoming more and more like Kira?"
Melty rolled her eyes speechlessly: "I've already discovered this kind of thing~"
"Since we have nothing to do now, let's just go for a walk around Rogue Town first."
"What are we shopping for? We have no money!"
Although they didn't take Aaron's head, they had looted all the valuables in Aaron's Paradise, including Baileys, as well as some gold, silver, jewelry, utensils and toys. After arriving in Rogue Town, Kira went to the pawn shop and exchanged what could be exchanged for Baileys, so he still had some money now.
But Kira will not hand over the management of money to others, so Gray and others have no money now.
Although it was said before that the seized property would be distributed according to individual contribution, the fleet has not yet been officially established, so it naturally needs to be managed in a unified manner. Kira has promised them that once they enter the Grand Line, the seized property will be distributed according to contribution as agreed before.
Even though they were helpless, they had to do as they were told. After all, even if they joined together, they could not defeat Kira, and besides, this magic airship belonged to Kira.
Now, apart from Kira, the only rich person among these people is Erza. That was the money she earned from working in Barati. When she left two days ago, Zepp settled her salary and gave her a lot. He said that the restaurant business was particularly good during the days when she was there. However, Erza herself didn't know whether it was true or not.
"I really can't do anything with you..."
Kira reluctantly reached into his personal space and took out a stack of banknotes under the expectant gazes of several people, "100,000 Baileys per person, no more!"
I remember that when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived here, Nami gave each of them 50,000, and she herself gave twice as much, which was considered generous.
100,000 Baileys is equivalent to 100,000 J, which is one month's rent for the girls' dormitory in Fairy Tail. This money is more than enough for them to spend.
"Should we buy some fresh water, meat, vegetables, fruits, etc?"
Lucy's suggestion made Kira stunned: "Huh? It seems so?"
Although his airship was very fast, it was still impossible to move from one island to another in half a day. When sailing on the sea, especially on the great routes full of dangers, storing food was essential.
"How about this, I'll give each of you an extra 150,000 Beli, and then Erza and Gray, you two go buy vegetables, fruits, and seasonings; Lucy and Wendy, you go redeem Natsu; Urrutia, Melty, and Eric, you three go buy various meats, remember to get fresh ones..."
Kira acted like an experienced captain, assigning the next purchasing tasks to several people. "No need for water. I can use magic to make pure water. You just need to buy a few more buckets..."
In fact, Kira has several containers that contain space magic and can store large amounts of fresh water. These containers are not large, the smallest is only the size of an ordinary water cup, and the larger ones are about the size of an ordinary wine barrel, but they are enough to hold dozens of tons of water. They are all convenient and practical magic technologies for traveling.
There are nearly ten people on the boat now, and the number will continue to increase after we find our companions. Although we don’t have to worry about water, there are not enough water storage containers, so wooden barrels are a must.
In fact, except in places like the sea, isolated islands, and deserts, water is not expensive in daily life. What is expensive is the container that holds the water.
"Only 200,000 Baileys... How stingy!"
Looking at the banknotes in their hands, they all looked disappointed. You know, the things they looted from Aaron before could be exchanged for at least 100 million Baileys. As a result, Kira only gave 200,000 Baileys to each person, and including Xia Lulu, they only got 1.6 million Baileys...
I can only say that it fits Kira's personality of loving to save money.
Afterwards, they divided into three teams according to Kira's instructions and went to purchase separately, while Kira started his exploration journey in Rogue Town alone.
