Chapter 209
Shanks is short of money
boom!
A crisp gunshot exploded, and over the distant sea, a flying seagull screamed in terror, let go of a big fish it was holding, and flew away in panic.
“Jesus Bu, great job! I got 10 million Baileys again, and you are still the best!”
Lakiru, who was eating chicken legs, let out a laugh, but his fat and ball-like figure disappeared in a flash.
Several afterimages suddenly appeared in the sight of Marco and others.
Ten seconds later, Lakiru, holding a big fish in one hand, returned to the crowd.
“No way? Did you really hit it?”
Marco walked forward with a ghostly expression on his face and looked at the fish in Lakiru’s hand.
I saw that this swordfish, which was 50 to 60 centimeters long, had a blood hole that penetrated the original eye area.
Seeing the bloody hole on the fish’s head, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates’ eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
“Holy shit! How could such a thing be possible?”
“More than a thousand meters away, a seagull is flying, or the eyes of a fish it caught.” ”
Seagulls and fish are both alive. They keep struggling and moving, how can they be hit?”
“Not only that! That seagull was frightened by Izo’s gunfire before, which affected its normal flying movements!”
The pirates were talking noisily and looked at Jesus Bu’s eyes were like looking at God.
“Ah hahaha, this is just a trivial skill, not worth showing off at all.”
Seeing the surprise and shock in everyone’s eyes, Jesus Bu hugged his chest and laughed.
“How can you be sure that it was you who hit it? Isn’t it possible that Captain Izo hit him first?”
Suddenly, a pirate emerged from the crowd and questioned.
“Huh?” Jesus Bu was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered his smile, turned the flintlock gun in his hand, and looked at Yi Zang with a half-smile: “That’s right. How about we try it again?” “Humph
? ! Do you want me to embarrass you again? I’ll give you the money!”
Yi Zang snorted coldly, took out a stack of baileys from his arms, casually counted a dozen large bills, stuffed them into the Jesus cloth, turned around and left .
Jesus smiled and took the money, and swaggered toward the crowd of red-haired pirates with Rakiru.
“By the way, I’ll give you the gun. I’m not going to lie to you, this is really a good gun.” A
silver flintlock gun flew across the sky and flew towards Izo, who was caught in the air.
In the open space in the distance, Shanks and Whitebeard were sitting face to face, drinking and chatting.
Seeing Jesus Bu approaching, White Beard raised his head with an appreciative smile on his face.
“What a wonderful shot. I haven’t seen such a powerful sniper like you for a long time, Jesus Bu.”
As he said that, White Beard stretched out his hand towards the playful Jesus Bu: “Do you want to come to my ship and be my son? , Jesus cloth?”
Bang!
Jesus’ left foot caught his right foot and he fell on the grass.
“Ah hahaha, Whitebeard, you really know how to joke.”
“I won’t interrupt, you can continue chatting.”
After a long time, he got up from the ground, with an embarrassed smile on his face, as if he was running away from Lakiru. ran far away.
Marco and the others laughed loudly from behind.
“Ku la la la, funny kid.”
Whitebeard took a few sips from the big wine bowl in front of him, and praised with satisfaction:
“This wine tastes really good, redhead.”
“You’re satisfied. That’s fine, Whitebeard.”
With a smile on his face, Shanks pointed to the place where the goods were piled up in the distance, and said a little embarrassedly:

“The crew is messing around, I hope you don’t mind.”
Whitebeard shook his head. , put down the wine bowl, and looked at him curiously: “Are you short of money recently? Red hair.”
The smile on Shanks’ face froze, and then he smiled bitterly: “I am a little short of money during this period, what do you think about this? You should know, that guy Barrett…”
Before Shanks could continue, Whitebeard nodded: “Is it related to Ace’s brother?”
Last time on Shanks’ ship, Barrett and Shanks had a brief confrontation. Although they fought, the tension at the time was quite intense.
At that time, Whitebeard and Rayleigh hid at the stern of the Redfords to avoid suspicion, but they also heard some conversations between the two.
Although Whitebeard did not ask Shanks about the specific situation.
But from some subsequent events, he could also make some guesses.
Basically, Straw Hat Luffy caused a scene in Impel Down and wanted to save Ace.
But he was caught by Barrett who escaped from prison and used him to make a deal with Shanks.
Straw Hat Luffy has good intentions in wanting to rescue his brother.
But Barrett started a war on top and was the savior of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It can be said that without Barrett, not only would the Whitebeard Pirates not be able to rescue Ace, they might even be wiped out.
Therefore, it was not easy for Whitebeard to interfere in this matter at that time.
“He just wants a large sum of money?” Whitebeard asked.
Shanks sighed: “One hundred billion beli, plus help him attack Totland.”
“One hundred billion beli? Hiss… Barrett, this brat, really dares to speak like a lion. Ah, this is not a small amount of money.”
Whitebeard took a breath.
Although he and Shanks are both important maritime overlords in the New World.
But because of the two people’s behavior, their pirate group didn’t have much money left.
Most of the money Whitebeard got at sea should be divided among his sons.
He basically sent the rest back to Sphinx Island to build his hometown.
As for the red-haired pirates, because they like to protect the weak and make friends with the heroes of the sea, they naturally do not collect much tax on the islands under their command, and spend money like water.
If it weren’t for Shanks himself, he would have quite a bit of wealth in his hometown of the Western Sea and the Grand Line.
You can’t get this hundred billion even if you break your head.
He had to be forced to rob Totland.
Yes.
To say which Yonko is the richest in the New World, it is definitely Queen Charlotte Lingling of Totland.
Although Totland is a pirate territory, under the management of the Charlotte family, it has formed a complete industrial chain that combines freight, arms trading, slave trading, war employment, etc.
The aunt gave birth to a bunch of children, although some were good and bad.
But there are indeed many outstanding characters in it.
At least, they can use the power of Charlotte Lingling to coerce and induce many forces in the New World, the Grand Line, and the four seas to achieve cooperation and earn Totland a huge amount of wealth.
There are 36 islands under the command of Totland of All Nations, and each one is far more prosperous than Sphinx Island.
In addition to Big Mom, Kaido, who occupies Wano Country, is also quite wealthy.
The country of Wano is rich in weapons and precious seastones.
That closed country is rich in mineral resources.
Every year, Kaido sells a large number of weapons to the new world through the middlemen of the underground world, the Shichibukai nicknamed “JOKER” and Tenyasha Doflamingo.
Especially in terms of cold weapons, Wano’s weapon casting is definitely the best in the world.
Today, 70% of the famous swords in the sea are made by craftsmen from the country that is the hometown of samurai.
Thinking of this, Shanks twitched the corner of his mouth and felt fierce in his heart.
“If it’s not enough, then go rob Big Mom and Kaido!”
