Chapter 122
Chapter 122
The next morning, the magnetic storage was completed and everyone set off again.
Everyone was in a good mood this time, after all, their bounties had increased.
Zoro was still practicing hard on the top of the main mast.
Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were fishing on the edge of the central deck.
Ye Shangqiu and Robin were on the central deck, one sleeping and the other reading.
Nami observed the situation ahead.
At this time, Sanji came out of the kitchen and brought out two drinks.
"Nami-san, I made you a cup of juice that will help with beauty and make your skin smoother."
"Thank you."
The three fishermen couldn't help it:"That's great."
Luffy:"I want some too." Chopper
:"More silky."
Sanji was speechless:"No, why do you guys need such smooth skin?"
Although he said so, Sanji still prepared it for everyone.
Ye Shangqiu didn't need these things, anyway, he had everything in his space.
And if Sanji dared not to prepare for himself, then Sanji would not have to think about any precious ingredients in the future.
Ye Shangqiu and Robin were chatting. It was mainly some speculations about some sea legends.
At this time, Luffy pulled the fishing rod hard, and a behemoth flew over. Ye Shangqiu looked up and kicked it.
Then a huge thing that looked like an ammonite fell on the deck.
Everyone was immediately attracted to the attention, and they were all curious about what this thing was.
Of course, the main question was whether it could be eaten.
While talking, the side of the shell opened, and a salesman in a suit and brows stood out. He showed a standard smile of a salesman when he came out. He was not afraid of strangers at all when he came out, scratched his head and started talking, which was like a machine gun.
"Excuse me, let me introduce myself. I'm a salesman. I'm Les Les from Ladybug Mail Order, and I can deliver products to you at any time with just a phone call.
Thank you for saving me from the strong storm."
When he spoke, Luffy and the others had already started to move the big shell.
There are really a lot of things in it.
Les took one look and hurriedly began to introduce various products.
There are really a lot of good things here.
It's just that Ye Shangqiu didn't have any interest, and Robin was also not interested.
At this time, Les hurried to Robin and said,"Ladies, it's best to use this slippery soap. After using it, your skin will be as white and smooth as boiled eggs."
"Alas, you really sell everything." Robin turned his eyes away from the book, but obviously showed no interest.
【Author's Note: This episode was actually created by the animation team to make up for their mistake in giving Robin the wrong skin color. So this soap should have been used by Robin, and he made an excuse to become so white after two years. 】
The other party did not understand Robin's sarcasm, and was still happily introducing his business or something.
At this time, Nami stood up and said,"Excuse me, do you have any paper for sale?"
Rice was a little confused:"Paper?"
Nami also stated her specific requirements:"Yes, big and tough paper, paper that will not be blown apart even by the sea breeze."
Rice was suddenly very excited. Finally, someone was interested:"Leave it to me."
Then he took out a large stack of white paper:"This is the highest-grade thousand-year-old paper. It will not be eaten by insects, and it will not change color even if it is placed in the sun for a thousand years. It is most suitable for making family trees and drawing treasure maps."
Luffy couldn't help but feel restless when he saw this paper:"Can it be used to make paper airplanes?" Rice was shocked. Didn't this kid listen? He could only say:"Of course, it can be used, but it's too wasteful."
Nami was very happy looking at these white papers:"How much?"
Luffy asked curiously:"Do you want to buy it?"
Nami:"Of course."
Nami's dream is to draw sea charts all over the world, but there has never been any good paper. Now that she has encountered such an opportunity, of course she doesn't want to miss it, and she has many sea charts that she hasn't drawn along the way. Rice was excited when she heard it. This is a sucker that she hasn't met for many years. If she goes out with this order, won't her performance for the year be good?
But now is the key to take the opportunity to raise the price.
Rice replied:"This is not easy, this is a very rare and valuable item. Even if you place an order now, you will have to wait 5 to 10 years to get the goods."
Nami's tone became unusually gentle:"Can you sell those to me first? I will pay any price."
Luffy was stunned:"What?"
Usopp's worldview collapsed, and he felt that his brain was not enough:"Nami, who can even skip meals to count money...……"
Zoro was sweating profusely:"Nami, who values money as her life,……"
Several people said in unison:"You said we'll pay whatever the price is!!!"
Ye Shangqiu glanced at Nami:"That sounds nice, but you're a poor guy."
Rice said:"A set of 1,000 sheets of Millennium Paper has a market price of 60,000 Baileys. I'll give you a lower price this time, 48 million Baileys will do."
Nami turned to look at Ye Shangqiu, who didn't even raise his head:"I don't have money. Even if I had money, I wouldn't buy this thing that insults my intelligence."
Nami really didn't have enough money, so she prepared to bargain.
At this time Sanji stood up:"We'll buy it."
Luffy asked:"Do you have money?"
"No!" Then Sanji quickly took out a rope and tied up Luffy.
"Luffy's bounty is 100 million berries. If we hand him over to the navy, we will have money."
As soon as Sanji finished speaking, Rice found that something seemed to be wrong. He looked up and saw the pirate flag. He looked at the other people on the ship. They were all pirates.
The next moment, he didn't care about anything. He threw the products all over the floor, jumped directly into the ammonite, closed the door and ran away.
They hadn't reacted before they left.
Ye Shangqiu rolled his eyes:"I am a pirate group. The bounty combined is more than 300 million. It would be strange if he is not afraid."
Ye Shangqiu looked at the papers on the ground and said:"Also, this paper can't be said to be very high-end. Those artworks can last for thousands of years because after the painting is completed, a layer of rosin is coated on it, and it will not be damaged even if water is poured on it.
In fact, it only needs to be slightly better paper."
Nami suddenly realized:"Is that so?"
"What do you think?"
"Forget it."Nami looked at the pile of papers on the ground with shining eyes. The other party left all these things when he left.
And he didn't spend any money. As for what Ye Shangqiu said, he might be right, but use better paper and apply rosin when the time comes. It won't hurt to try.
Nami took the papers and left, and told everyone not to disturb her, she wanted to concentrate on drawing the nautical chart inside.
But everyone pretended not to hear these words, and since the ship hadn't been cleaned for a long time, everyone started to clean the ship.
In fact, it was called cleaning the ship, but there were only a few people playing back and forth.
No matter what happened, Luffy got involved, so there must be some problems in the middle.
If there is no problem, that would be a problem.
There is no doubt that this time... Something went wrong, and several people were making a fuss. They rushed directly into the cabin, where Nami was still drawing. The result is needless to say.
No one could stop the furious Nami.
There is no doubt that Luffy and the other three were beaten again.
As for the Straw Hat Pirates, being beaten means that the problem is not serious.
Everyone is a bunch of shameless people, so just continue to make a fuss.
Then this time it got bigger. Luffy knocked over Nami's drawing tools and even messed up the half-drawn drawing.
Nami didn't beat them this time, and they also realized that the problem seemed to be a bit big.
So everyone calmed down this time.
Ye Shangqiu shook his head helplessly. He is now responsible for lookout.
Not long after, everyone noticed a huge bird flying over.
Luffy looked very excited.
"rubber……"
Bang.
Luffy just stretched out his hand but was stopped by Ye Shangqiu, who raised his hand and threw Luffy aside.
Then he let the huge bird land on the mast.
"This is... Pidgeot?"
Zoro recognized it. After the previous Pidgeot evolved, Ye Shangqiu sent it away. Nami hadn't seen Pidgeot for a long time.
Pidgeot handed his claws to Ye Shangqiu. Ye Shangqiu took a bamboo tube from his claws, opened the letter inside the bamboo tube and took a look. It was just about the situation of the East China Sea and the Cigu Elementary School Garden. Ye Shangqiu thought about it, took out a pen and paper, wrote a few letters in a row and put them in the bamboo tube.
"Sanji, prepare some energy cubes for Pidgeot"
"Yes, there are still a lot. I found it missing when I made it before, so I kept it."
Sanji returned to the kitchen and took out a bunch of energy cubes to feed Pidgeot. He packed up the rest and gave it to Pidgeot to take with him on the road.
Ye Shangqiu patted Pidgeot's head and said,"Just help out in the East China Sea this time and take good care of Miss Kaya."
After saying that, Ye Shangqiu looked down and said,"Does anyone want to send a letter? Pidgeot is going back to the East China Sea this time."
"East Sea, that can... forget it." Usopp thought about it and shook his head. He has not yet become a great sea warrior.
���Instead, he said,"Can I give the old man a letter?"
"No problem. Zoro, you... forget it, you don't even know where your village is."
"You bastard."
Zoro felt that he was being mocked again, but there was nothing he could do. He had no letter to send back.
"Um, can you help me send a letter to Dr. Doriel?"
Chopper wrote a letter yesterday, but it's hard to send a letter at sea.
"No problem. By the way, Sanji, go ask Nami if she should send a letter to Nokiko."
""Okay."
Sanji knew that Nami would send a letter to Nokiko, so he went to call Nami.
Nami came out in a few minutes, and then he saw Pidgeot on the mast.
"Is this the previous Pidgeot? How did it grow so big?"
Nami looked at Pidgeot in surprise, then raised the envelope in her hand and said,"Well, thank you for your help. Please deliver this letter to Nokigo, and I will ask Nokigo to prepare fruit for you."
Pidgeot spread its wings and landed on the deck.
Sanji also went over to ask about his energy blocks and what was wrong. Chopper helped translate. Sanji would write them down carefully. Nami hugged Pidgeot and wouldn't let go. This guy was so cute.
Half an hour later, everyone sent Pidgeot away enthusiastically.
Pidgeot is actually not in much danger at sea. Flying animals in the sky are generally not its opponents.
Moreover, it flies fast and at a high enough altitude, so it can easily fly over windless areas.���
So after Pidgeot evolved, Ye Shangqiu made it the messenger for everyone.
Pidgeot also likes this job very much, because every time he arrives at a place, he will be fed a lot, and he can even challenge some powerful birds on the way.
Ye Shangqiu took out the previous letter and came to the central deck. Zoro naturally took over his job, because there was no letter from Zoro here.
Ye Shangqiu opened the letter and took a look. He couldn't say that there was no letter. He took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Chopper:"Go up and give it to Zoro, this is a letter from Zoro's friend to him"
"Oh."Chopper left obediently.
First, there were letters from the people of the East China Sea. The letters to himself were more formal, and briefly introduced the situation in the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is developing very well now, especially with Kaya helping to take care of business matters, and now it looks prosperous.
Before, there were also nobles who wanted to increase taxes and so on. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to take advantage.
But who in the East China Sea is willing to offend them now?
It's an increase in taxes and so on, but who is going to collect them?
The private soldiers in the hands of the nobles were dealt with halfway.
Let the navy go?
The navy is now a partner with them. These are their rich people, and they don't want to offend them.
The nobles didn't want to use force. As usual, they just let the pirates go.
Then there were fewer nobles in the world, and the other nobles were honest.
Now the commercial routes of the East China Sea have basically been opened up, and almost all of them are in their hands. Although the control is not very strong now, they only occupy it roughly.
But no one is willing to offend them.
Before, the biggest pirate in the East China Sea, Klick, could barely put together a fleet of 50 ships.
They now have at least two or three naval fleets.
To put it bluntly, their combined strength is almost as large as the Demon Slayer Order.
It's just that the high-end combat power may not keep up.
With Ke Ya here, they now have a cannon in their left hand and an economic stick in their right hand. Who dares not to obey?
To put it bluntly, the navy in the East China Sea is now the navy on the surface, but secretly they are also their registered personnel. Anyway, there is no regulation on both sides that they cannot have a sideline.
In the East China Sea, their wanted orders are much more useful than the navy's wanted orders.
Now they are gradually expanding their scale. They want to develop a little bit towards the Grand Line, but unfortunately they can't cross the Calm Belt. It
's too dangerous for their warships to rush up the Upside-Down Mountain, and they are in urgent need of naval technology.
They have already contacted the revolutionaries, and for those stubborn nobles and countries, they decided to release the revolutionary army. They also hope that Ye Shangqiu can agree to this plan.
