Neptune and Jinbe were slightly startled by Yuyuko's words.
However, the two of them thought for a moment and nodded.
Indeed, half a billion is not much.
However, this number is actually a preferential condition given for the special situation of Fish-Man Island. In addition, the main residents of Fish-Man Island are fish-people and mer-people, and what mer-people and fish-men are best at is playing at the bottom of the sea, and the bottom of the sea...
Shipwrecks, abandoned treasures, etc. These are all ownerless wealth. Basically, you can earn them if you find them. However, Fish-Man Island is the only way for ordinary pirates to enter the second half of their greatness. Even if they don't land on the island, they will still pass by. But there are also many dangers here.
Not to mention the terrifying deep ocean currents generated by this red earth continent, just the giant sea kings, super large sea beasts, and various invisible seabed terrains lurking on the seabed, and even the unprofessionalism of the bubble coating masters. As a result, a large number of ships quietly disappeared under the sea when crossing the red continent. Not to mention that each of these pirates who carried a large amount of wealth was extremely rich, they still had some wealth.
Some are devil fruits, some are famous swords, and the simplest and most direct ones are some gold and silver treasures. The deep sea environment makes it impossible for humans to come down to search for them. Only fish and mermaids who can move freely in the sea can do this kind of thing.
The wealth gained from this alone is enough for Fishman Island to deal with such things as sky gold.
As for Youyouzi...
Mina is the chosen one to fish for Bella, and every time a hook is hooked, it is often counted in hundreds of millions.
Although there is not such a harvest every time, Mina's financial support to the Flying Flower Pirates through this method has so far exceeded one billion, and Yuyuko has also saved money due to her years of bounty hunting. I have obtained a considerable amount of Bailey, and now I can rely on the bounty to make a living. This money...
Yuyouzi thinks that she can make money just by sitting and playing in Shampoo every day. After all, most of those who can reach Shampoo Land and have a reward on their head already have a reward of over 10 million. The bounty is not worth tens of millions... Who can remember that kind of trash fish?
In fact, Jinbei doesn’t have much idea about money. Firstly, Fishman Island really doesn’t like Bailey. Secondly, Jinbei’s attitude is a bit Buddhist. He usually doesn’t have much pursuit. The Sun Pirates can also make money underwater. , a thankless task like robbing will only be done when you have enough to hold on to it. In addition, Jinbei got Otohime's idea and has been committed to doing good things on the sea to spread the good reputation of fish people. For this reason, he also received the highly commendatory title of 'Sea Hero'. So Jinbei takes money very lightly. Five hundred million really couldn't move him that much.
So after Youyouzi said this, the three of them nodded in agreement and frowned slightly. They all muttered in unison.
"It seems, there really aren't many~"
Dalmecia watched this scene completely, and the corners of her mouth began to twitch, and the veins on her brows also jumped.
Dalmecia felt that she was being betrayed by Versailles. The key was that she could not refute it at all.
Dalmecia naturally does not know the source of Yuyuko's money. After all, according to the internal intelligence of the Navy, Yuyuko Ogihime Shimi is not that kind of vicious pirate. She has been keeping a low profile since she entered the Grand Line. If it were not for the internal affairs with the World Government, Due to some connections, this pirate group probably went directly to the New World with a very low bounty.
However, after the World Government poked him, everyone discovered that this was actually a hidden tiger. If this were placed in the new world, even if he could not become the Four Emperors, he would still be a difficult general for the Four Emperors. However, just in time for Kaidomang G1's incident some time ago, the World Government has attached great importance to the Four Emperors, and has also been somewhat open to absorbing the Shichibukai. And it's only natural that a pirate like this, who has no bad deeds, should be favored.
But as for wealth, Dalmecia only knew that Yuyuko made a lot from bounties when she was in the East China Sea.
Although she was somewhat doubtful about Yuyuko's wealth, Dalmecia could not say anything at this time and could only force herself to be serious. "If there are no problems, prepare as soon as possible. You must know the meaning of this trip to Heavenly Gold better than I do. With that said, I will return to the ship to rest."
Neptune nodded and returned politely, "Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant General Dalmecia. We have already made preparations for the gold in the sky. We will count it again later and send it to you. At that time, we will conduct the second round." Taking stock. Hopefully we can get through it peacefully this time."
"That's the best. I won't bother you any more, King Neptune. I'm leaving first." Dalmesia said and left quickly.
After returning to the ship, the adjutant couldn't help but ask, "Lieutenant General Dalmecia, um, could you please tell me your salary?"
Dalmecia said, "Go check it yourself, it's not a secret."
This guy won't pick up any pot. What is the salary level in the navy? It’s rare for everyone to have no idea as colleagues! Even a lieutenant general only looks good and doesn't actually earn much at all. The monthly salary is only over 100,000 beli, which is far behind compared to the pirates.
[The price of basic materials in the One Piece world seems to be on the high side, but in fact the income is not that high. Taking Orange Town as an example, the residents are already on tenterhooks for 100,000 beli every year. It can almost be seen that the annual income of civilians is estimated to be around 50,000 beli if they are guaranteed to eat, which is really not high. This is because the economy of Orange Town was not bad before, and other places would only be lower. Therefore, when it comes to high-end products, such as Devil Fruit, people will be amazed. After all, from a civilian perspective, 100 million Baileys is already unimaginable in a lifetime. 】
Here, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems I'm worrying too much."
Jinbei nodded, "Indeed, it seems that although the World Government is not satisfied with our current attitude, it has not formulated a strategy without thinking. Not all the Tianlong people are the same as those in Shampoo. Only a few still have some eyes. Five billion Pele is not the purpose, but just an expression of an attitude. I have been to other countries, and many countries have more than 500 million at all."
Speaking of the Celestial Dragons, Neptune's brows instantly furrowed. He didn't have a good sense of the Celestial Dragons, and even if Otohime thought they were okay, he wouldn't be able to accept them. However, he still had a certain understanding of what Jinbei said.
Sky Gold often depends on the country. The more Sky Gold is given, the more protection the country can receive in the world government system. The correspondence between Five Billion and Fishman Island actually shows that the world government does not Will have any reaction to the life and death of Mermaid Island. Not to mention sending the navy to protect it.
There is even Alabasta, a special ally that does not need to be given gold from the sky. Of course, this is also the reason why Arabstan was one of the original twenty countries. No one else could say anything.
As for other countries, 500 million can basically only be recognized and protected by the allies of a world government, which is completely up to chance. If there is a navy passing by, then you can take care of it. If not... then there is nothing you can do. And in fact, it is not difficult to find that almost all countries that have paid high amounts of sky gold have naval bases near their territories.
Of course, Alabasta is another exception. He used the money originally used to give gold to the sky to develop national defense. It's a pity that Roger created the Age of Discovery.
"As long as nothing goes wrong, it should be like this this time." Neptune turned to look at Yuyuko. "Your Excellency Yuyuko, thank you for coming to help this time. After completing this transaction, as for what you want to do with Bai Bai, Namuel has already received a reply to Beard’s request for a meeting, and he will arrange everything when the time comes, don’t worry about that.”
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go to the snack room to have some snacks." Youyouzi smiled casually, then used her ability to levitate, preparing to fly directly over.
"If you are satisfied with the snacks on Fish-Man Island, that would be great. I have already given instructions to the snack room. If you have any needs, you only need to go over and ask."
"Really, that's great. I'm going to enjoy it first. See you later!"
After saying that, Youyouzi floated towards the Dragon Palace.
Regarding the snacks from Ryugu Palace, Yuyuko was really a little excited, and she suddenly understood why in the comics, after the Whitebeard Pirates collapsed, they came all the way to eat Fish-Man Island, and the tribute they needed was just snacks. . Because the snacks on Fishman Island are really unique and especially delicious. The most important thing is that many of the raw materials are unique materials that can only be found in the deep sea, so they cannot be copied elsewhere.
Youyouzi accidentally ate one a few days ago, and was instantly conquered by the extremely rich layered snacks. The soft cake was mixed with various unknown algae and undersea plants. The moment it entered the mouth, it felt like the bottom of the sea. Like a fountain, it gushes out under the pressure of layers, bringing a new ultimate experience to the already delicious pastries.
On one side is the sweet and greasy flavor of Fish-Man Island, on the other side is the freshness of the ocean carried by deep-sea plants, and finally there is the salty-sweet flavor that slowly emerges from some unknown ingredients, with multiple levels. Different flavors burst out in the mouth, making people feel like they are entering a deep sea vortex, and they can't stop.
Even people like Auntie, who have the ultimate pursuit of good food, are addicted to it, let alone ordinary diners.
Youyouzi is not addicted, but it is rare to eat, so she wants to eat more.
This is an old problem left over from my time on Earth. It’s rare to encounter something delicious, so you have to eat it all at once. After all, you don’t know when you will eat it next time.
