"This is called the automatic pawn machine."
Facing everyone's confusion and curiosity, Link slowly explained.
Tool: automatic pawn machine.
Description: Also known as the "Future Pawn Shop," you simply place the item you want to pawn into the square opening near the small lights, and the tool will assess how much the item is worth, then dispense the money from the opening behind the front curtains.
If you want to redeem a pawned item, just put the money back at the original price it was dispensed, and the item will be returned.
Pawned items have a three-month limit; if not redeemed within three months, the item will disappear.
Most importantly, this tool's assessment ability is very powerful, capable of clearly determining the exact value of an item.
Nobita once met a painter who couldn't even afford food; he took a painting from him, pawned it, and received millions.
Later, when they went to find the painter, they discovered there really was a rich collector willing to pay millions for the destitute painter's work.
This shows that the automatic pawn machine will never cheat or play tricks; it will always provide the fairest assessment.
Moreover, after pawning, if you want to get the item back, you only need to pay the original price within three months, with no interest.
Where in the world can you find such a good pawning method?!!
Anyway, after Link finished explaining, everyone on the ship immediately had their eyes light up.
"There's actually such a tool?!"
Sanji no longer bothered with invisibility and women's bathhouses, looking at the pawning machine in front of him with a surprised expression.
It sounds so amazing.
"Does it really have such a magical effect?!"
Nami's eyebrows also raised after hearing this.
Although she trusted Link's tools, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, thinking about how Link had previously shown her two tools that first gave her hope then disappointment.
"Why don't we just take something and try it out?"
Zoro, lying on the side, offered a sensible suggestion.
The others also nodded slightly; there's nothing like practice to reveal the truth.
But what should they use?
Luffy and Usopp were broke, and Nami wouldn't take out her savings until she fully understood and confirmed the tool's true function.
As for Zoro and Sanji, well, did they look like they had money?
"That, Big Brother..."
At this moment, Joseph, one of the subordinates, rubbed his hands, "I have a small trinket here that I don't understand."
He seemed a bit embarrassed as he took out a small pendant from his shirt pocket.
At the bottom of the Coating pendant was an unremarkable small black stone.
"This is a trophy I got from a Pirate Crew I defeated when I was a Bounty Hunter; I've kept it because I never figured out what kind of stone it was." Actually, the two of them found it while scavenging a destroyed Pirate Crew, seeing one fallen pirate clutching this pendant tightly.
Although Joseph didn't know what it was, his intuition told him it was something good, so he kept it.
He had shown it to people before, but those appraisal experts couldn't identify it; instead, they thought it was just an ordinary stone and that Joseph was playing a trick on them, so they kicked him out.
Because of this, Joseph had always carried it with him, until Link brought out the automatic pawn machine, which made him think to take out the pendant.
"Try it."
Link took the pendant from his hand and put it in.
Immediately after, the small lights on the automatic pawn machine flashed.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, stacks of banknotes came out from behind the curtains!!
"You're kidding me!!"
Nami's eyes almost popped out, "There's actually so much money?!"
It was just a small pendant that even she thought looked ordinary, yet so much money came out of this machine?!
Roughly counting, it must be around two million Berries, right?!
The automatic pawn machine also seemed to incorporate the characteristics of the Pirate World, dispensing only Berry banknotes.
Not only Nami was shocked; everyone else was also surprised.
And Joseph, as the owner of the pendant, after a moment of stunned silence, immediately embraced his partner Johnny in joy and began to dance happily.
"That pendant is worth so much money?"
Sanji stroked his chin; he suddenly discovered another use for this tool:
It could help them identify whether something was a valuable treasure.
Like this pendant, which everyone couldn't make heads or tails of, thinking it was just an ordinary stone, yet it could be pawned for such a significant sum.
That means this pendant is definitely not as ordinary as they imagined; it must be some kind of rare stone.
If they had gotten it, let alone selling it for money, they wouldn't even understand it and could easily be tricked by someone knowledgeable.
Thus, in this sense, besides appraisal, this automatic pawn machine is also a rare and risk-free pawning tool.
"It's really great!!"
Nami's eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands, exclaiming happily:
"I knew this tool's effect was very magical and powerful!!"
