46: Chapter 46 Not a cent lessThis sounds like a fairy tale.
"Luffy."
Dashiqi looked at the bewildered Princess Vivi, then at the calm Luffy: "How do you know all this?Did you hear it from the grapevine?"
"right."
Luffy shrugged casually."My grandfather and her father were close friends.As soon as something happened in Albatross, my grandfather went to investigate and found out about the Klokdar incident.As for her identity, it was my grandmother who told my grandfather."
Anything that cannot be explained is pushed to Ka Pu and Zhan Guo to settle.
After all, they are both in high positions and powerful, so investigating these matters is a piece of cake for them.
Everyone was wondering:
Is this the benefit of having a background?
Can you just pry into other people's secrets?
This is too outrageous!
"You, your grandfather.Oh, by the way, the newspaper said you're the grandson of the Hi Army hero Mengqi D.Kapu!"
At this time, Vivi recovered from her shock and suddenly remembered Luffy's identity.
Luffy has been getting into more and more trouble lately, and almost everyone knows about his affairs.
So it's not surprising that Weiwei knows something about him.
At this moment, Weiwei was a little distracted.After hearing that Luffy's grandfather had a good relationship with her father,
A light immediately flashed in his eyes.
But as soon as she saw the bloodstains on Luffy's shoes, she immediately thought of Mr.9's miserable appearance.
I wanted to ask for help, but the words got stuck and I couldn't say them.
"Don't be afraid of me.Killing him is mainly for you."
Luffy, who was always high above, suddenly knelt down and stared at Vivi.There was still a hint of fear in her eyes, but she didn't look away.Luffy said bluntly: "Your identity determines that you and Baroque Works are irreconcilable.
"This person is your companion now, but once he knows your identity, he might be the first to betray you.
"Even if you hide your identity, you'll still have to fight the Balok Agency when you return, so this person will be your enemy sooner or later.
"If you don't kill him, he will kill you."
Luffy started to use his old tricks again, scaring people first and then comforting them.
This trick really works.
really,
After hearing this, the fear in Weiwei's eyes lessened and her expression looked better.
But there was still a hint of panic in the look he gave Luffy.
She felt that this man was too scary.She didn't feel this way even when she faced Qi Wu Hai Ke Luo Ke Da Er.
I never thought that a princess of the Guo family would actually go undercover for the Guo family.
Makino looked at the girl sitting opposite Luffy, Vivi, and felt deeply moved.
As the eldest sister among this group of girls, she always cares about others.
Seeing that Weiwei was as scared as a little rabbit, she wanted to go up and comfort her.
But in the end she held back because she knew Luffy would make the decision.
After all, they are a pirate group, not a place to do good deeds.
If Luffy doesn't want to help the princess, and she goes to comfort him, it will only make Luffy angry.
At this moment,
Kurokasi, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people.I'll give you the recording pointer I mentioned before."
It's getting late, Labu may be about to hit the red earth continent, I have to go give him a sedative.
Just now, Baki asked Kuroka for the record pointer.
During the chat, Kulokasi also told everyone about Labu.
However, Luffy did not mention Kuroka.There was another crew member named Blue who was also thinking about looking for Laboo.
He felt there was no need to say anything, as Bruker hadn't boarded the ship yet and it was uncertain whether he would be able to come back in the future.
He wouldn't make random promises for others.
It's best not to say things like "He will definitely come back".If he doesn't come back, you won't be able to clean up the mess!
Watching Kuroka jump into the water and swim away.
Keya looked at the record pointer in Nami's hand, then pointed at Weiwei on the ground and asked, "Now that we have the record pointer, we can enter the Grand Line.But what about her, brother?"
When Luffy heard this, his eyes fell on Vivi again, and a familiar bright smile appeared on his face.
In the blink of an eye, all six of them were stunned.
This guy.even wants to snatch the princess of Arabasitan!
Look, never underestimate Luffy's ambition.
"What to do?Of course, rob."
Everyone is used to hearing Luffy say the word "grab".
Kona Mei suddenly interrupted him:
"Wait, Luffy~ I have a good idea."
Nami is so smart!
She gave a sly smile and whispered something into Luffy's ear.
Then she walked over to Vivi with a smile, her eyes almost popping out of gold coins.
He squatted down and whispered a few words to Weiwei.
Then he stood up with a smirk on his face:
"Done~ It's settled!
"I want a reward of three billion.You know how powerful our captain is, right?This deal is definitely worth it."
Take 3 billion to help Princess Weiwei quell the war in her family.
Then Luffy grabbed her onto the ship, killing two birds with one stone!
This guy Na Mei is so bad!
Luffy: .
He thought Na Mei had come up with some good idea, but it turned out to be just a way to make money?
Everyone looked at Na Mei, who was standing there with a money-obsessed look on her face, and didn't know what to say.
but--
"That's impossible!"
Weiwei was resolute.She looked up at Nami and said, "I'm really grateful you didn't kill me, but three billion is too much for me."
"WhyWhat?You are a princess!"
Na Mei said in surprise, "Three billion isn't an astronomical figure.It can even save your family."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Weiwei.
"Excuse me.Do you know the Arabasitan family?"
Weiwei struggled to sit up, then sat on the ground and continued, "It was once a place hailed as a civilized nation, but.that's all history now."
"The Guo family is currently in constant turmoil.For the past few years, people have been plotting betrayal, and the people have suffered continuously.We no longer have the money to pay."
In recent years, the civil strife in Arabasitan has intensified, and even the royal family is no longer wealthy.
At this moment, Vivi was very nervous, fearing that these pirates would capture her and use her to threaten her father for a ransom.
So she simply said no, as for the 3 billion to hire them to deal with Clark Kedar.
Weiwei didn't take it to heart at all.
Because she didn't believe at all that Luffy and the others would go against Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, for money.
"Oh~ So that's how it is~ Since the Guo family is in turmoil, they must be short of money."
After hearing what Weiwei said, Na Mei curled her lips without any hesitation.
I thought I could make a fortune, but my hopes were dashed?
"Luffy, I don't care anymore.You can do whatever you want."
She immediately lost interest, stepped aside and ignored the matter.
Instead, Luffy looked at Vivi lying on the ground——
Princess Weiwei looked thoughtful.
A cunning look suddenly flashed in her eyes:
"Since we have no money, we won't bother with Arabasitan's affairs.As for this princess, we'll just take her aboard and let her be our nanny!"
As soon as these words came out, Weiwei's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
nanny?
No, Arabasitan is still in chaos.
How could she be detained by Luffy and his friends as a babysitter!
But then,
Luffy's attitude became more meaningful.
This frightened the princess so much that her face turned pale.
"I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me.I'll tell my grandfather about the Arabasitan incident and ask him to stay out of it.
As for Crocodile, after he robs my family, I'll go ask him for three billion pounds.I don't think he'll dare to refuse, right?"
"No, no!"
Princess Vivi was so frightened that her soul was terrified and her face turned pale.She immediately shouted for help.
She was already extremely anxious, and after being frightened by Luffy, she almost cried out loud.
"No?Then, Princess, how can you bribe me if you don't have money?"
Luffy kept smiling, without any threat at all.
But Weiwei felt that his eyes were like those of a devil!
"Mr.Luffy, for the sake of my father's friendship with your grandfather, please don't do this!Although my father can't come up with 3 billion, he can give you a generous reward.As long as you can help us quell the rebellion, the King of Arabasitan will always be your friend!"
She stared at the man before her, his face calm but his aura surging.This man had dared to challenge Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and had recently caused a stir in Loge Town.
If only he could lend me a helping hand.
Weiwei hardened her heart and threw aside her princess reserve.
She stood up and knelt in front of Luffy without hesitation, banging her forehead heavily on the ground, begging: "Please agree to me!"
She wasn't sure if Luffy and his men were more terrifying than Klokukadar, nor was she sure if they could defeat Klokukadar.
But at this moment, she had no choice.
She knew full well that the situation in Arabastan was becoming increasingly tense, with the rebels growing stronger.And based on what she had learned over the past two years, the Barok Studio might soon take action against the Arabastan regime.
The situation was urgent, she could no longer hesitate or consider the princess's face.
Weiwei's kneeling stunned everyone present, and then most of the crew members objected.
"What?No way, are you kidding me?"
"We are pirates, not mercenaries working for money!"
"Yes, going to fight sand crocodiles is like seeking death!"
Sulong and others expressed their opinions one after another, and even Shanzhi remained silent.
They had just set out on the Grand Route, and no one wanted to get involved in such trouble.
No matter how chaotic other families are, it has nothing to do with those of them who are drifting on the sea.
but--
Na Mei is Na Mei.When she heard that there was money to be made, she immediately became excited.
She loudly interrupted Solong and the others' complaints, ran over to Weiwei, and asked with shining eyes, "How much can you give me for the generous reward you mentioned?"
Weiwei was speechless for a moment.
She then realized that most people on the ship had no say, and the ones who could really make the decisions were Luffy and those girls.
A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, and she looked at the girl with a graceful figure, sweet looks and flowing red hair with full of anticipation.
"I can only come up with 1.5 billion.If that's not enough.I can think of other ways."
Luffy became interested when he heard this:
"Is there any other way?Tell me."
Weiwei blushed: "I'll do the housework for you."
Luffy's female companions: ?
Do chores for pirates!
This is too outrageous!
Na Mei was so angry that her face turned blue.Even if you are a princess, doing housework is not worth 1.5 billion!
She originally wanted 3 billion.Is it reasonable to cut it in half?
"Two and a half billion, plus ten years of working on a ship!"
Nanami fought for benefits for Luffy and the others without hesitation.
Weiwei's face froze.
Working on a ship is nothing, but 2.5 billion.it would be hard for the entire Arabasitan royal family to come up with even half of that!
Where did so much money come from during the civil unrest?
Even the 1.5 billion yuan she promised might have to be borrowed from others by her father.
"I'm sorry, I really don't have that much."
Weiwei lowered her head, anxiously about to cry.
She didn't dare to make promises easily because she knew Luffy's temper.
If it succeeds and the money she gives is not enough, Luffy will turn Albania upside down!
".Okay, at least 2 billion, that's my bottom line."
Na Mei gritted her teeth and took another step back, she couldn't go any less.
Luffy just watched quietly beside him, without any intention of stopping it.
He did intend to rob people, but he was also a pirate, and he wanted both to rob people and to make money.
Otherwise, just for Vivi, would it be in vain to help Arabasitan overcome the difficulties?
He's not that great.
But then again, Arabasitan is a kingdom with a long history.Even if the royal family did not exploit the people, they should still be able to come up with a mere 2 billion in bribes.
Of course, this will definitely cause heavy bleeding.
But Luffy doesn't care whether others have money or not.
Besides, Princess Vivi is very young and knows nothing about the royal family.
She thought 2 billion was a large number, in fact even Luffy thought it was a bit too little.
Hey.learn from Doflamingo, when you meet a beautiful girl, just pay her a lot of money.
"good!"
Weiwei gritted her teeth.
Two billion is two billion, as long as it can save Arabasitan from the dire straits, she will accept it!
"Namei, you're not the captain.Isn't it inappropriate to make such a decision?"
She walked over to Na Mei and said worriedly, "And the person over there is Wang Xia Qi Wu Hai, a big shot on par with Hawkeye.He must be very dangerous."
"Okay, Koya, don't worry, I'm not making decisions for Luffy."
Na Mei smiled and touched her head.
Then she glanced at Luffy who looked relaxed, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and whispered:
"Even if I didn't ask, Luffy would definitely agree to this.
Look, this Princess Vivi is so beautiful, how could that big idiot Luffy let her go?So don't worry, she will be our sister from now on.Before she officially comes on board, let's make her bleed a little!
There was a cunning glint in her eyes, just like her nickname "Little Thief Cat".
"This.seems to make sense."
After hearing this, Keya and the others nodded.
From the moment Luffy said the word "grab", they understood.
Luffy will definitely take care of the affairs of Albatross!
Because they knew that Luffy had never treated those who were taken aboard unfairly.
It can be said that Luffy really dotes on the girls on the ship!
"Okay!That's settled then!"
Luffy put his straw hat back on and held out his hand to Vivi: "Let's go to Arabasitan.If we succeed, I'll give you 2 billion, and you have to join us!"
Seeing Luffy make the decision, everyone looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
They were afraid of getting into trouble, but since Luffy had agreed, there was nothing they could do.
What a free-spirited captain.
".Thank you."
Vivi held his hand and was pulled up by Luffy.
She was extremely excited, and looking at Luffy's smile, a flame of hope ignited in her heart.
With them by her side, she has enough confidence to fight against Keluokedar, and she firmly believes that Arabasitan will be able to get through the difficulties safely!
"Oh, there's no need to be so formal." Na Mei said to Wei Wei with a playful smile:
"Just don't forget to pay the bill.It's 2 billion, not a cent less.Otherwise, you know what Luffy's methods are!"
Weiwei:!
"I, I understand.I won't lose a cent."
She was a little nervous, but when she saw Mr.9 who had passed away, she immediately made up her mind to collect the money.
Otherwise, this guy in the straw hat might be even more ruthless than Keluokedaer!
"Then let's go.I still have to take care of two people."
Luffy said this lightly, inviting everyone to get on board.
Then, in the eyes of everyone's astonishment,
His arms grew longer and embraced all the ships together.
In the blink of an eye——
With a whoosh, only a shadow remained in front of everyone's eyes.
When they reappeared, they were already outside the whale's belly.
"What?Is this the whale that just swallowed us?"
"Didn't the uncle say that we were eaten by Labu?How come we came out so quickly?"
"The captain's teleportation can take us with him?"
