Chapter 57
Chapter 57: Fruit
Wealth, what is it?
Wealth, perhaps the most useful thing in the world, is universal no matter which world it is in. There is a saying that money is not everything, but there is nothing without money. There is another saying that says, Rich people can really do whatever they want, and Vlad still quite agrees with this point of view.
In the past life, of course, needless to say, it can only be said that the happiness of the rich cannot be imagined at all. After all, poverty limits our imagination. Even in this pirate world where life is like a mustard and monsters fly all over the sky, wealth is very high. The important thing is that Gilder Tezzolo can shake the Dragons with Bailey, and this is the most powerful proof.
Vlad is very poor, really poor. Even when he was still in the Charlotte family, he didn’t have much money. Although he is an internal affairs officer, he has a lot of money to fill his pockets, but he has a lot of income and a lot of expenses. Charlotte Te-Lingling went crazy from time to time, and the reconstruction fee of Wanguo was not much lower than the protection fee collected every year.
This was the case in the past, not to mention Vlad who was separated from the Charlotte family. Vlad, who was too determined to do his own business as a pirate, has been in a state of poverty recently, even if the Golden Emperor supported him. One, but there is still a big gap from the wealth reserve in his heart. After all, even a pirate will have a lot of financial expenses, especially an ambitious pirate like Vlad.
Everything on the sea requires money, boats, supplies, equipment, even the Four Emperors can’t avoid these, even if you let him not eat for a few months, you don’t need to fight, you just leave, on the sea, These things are unavoidable and all depend on money.
But not everything can be robbed, even pirates are like this. After all, things like shipbuilding, ship repairing, buying equipment, coating, etc., if you rely on force to rob, who can guarantee that the other party will not give you one Surprise, think about it, how wonderful it is when the membrane suddenly ruptures tens of thousands of meters underwater.
It can be said that stealing money is one of the main purposes of Vlad Maryjoya’s trip. After all, the Tianlong people have no other characteristics. The most famous thing is that they are stupid and have a lot of money. I think they can help the poor like themselves. The big deal, the heavenly gold that the allied countries of the world government give to the Tianlong people every year is completely astronomical. Vlad believes that those rich Tianlong people will never care about the money they rob.
The riots that caused Mary Joa were on the one hand to steal money, and on the other hand to test the strength of the Tianlong people. It is not unreasonable for the Tianlong people to rule the world for 800 years. Fighting hard, but this is not what Vlad wants to see. What he wants to know is the power of the Tianlong people. It is a pity that he did not see it. It didn’t lift either, Vlad was disappointed.
Of course, there are certain factors in swiping the favorability of certain people. After all, everyone knows it.
And then, just today, the poor life of the past is finally over, Vlad thought.
A large piece of golden light on the table confirmed his idea, and Vlad was really moved. After all, it feels good to be rich.
“Wow haha,”
Vlad has a sense of complacency, the feeling of having everything with money.
“kindness,”
Dino touched his chin, and his tone had a feeling of uncertainty: “These gold, antiques and jewelry together may have the appearance of more than two billion Baileys, it is really a great wealth!”
“kindness?”
Vlad turned back in surprise and looked at his cook: “Oh, cook, you know very well.”
“kindness,”
Dino nodded calmly, with a calm look, and said lightly: “I understand a little, I understand a little.”
“oh, I see!”
Vlad scratched his head and said with a smile: “More than two billion? Then the estimate that can be obtained through the black market is this number, haha, enough, completely enough!”
“But, Mr. Vlad,”
Dino said with some worry: “These things have obvious marks of Tianlong people. I’m afraid it’s not that easy to shoot directly.”
“It’s ok!”
Vlad raised a finger, and the fiery red scales covered it instantly. Then, a little golden flame jumped up and laughed softly: “If the gold is to be melted, it will be fine, it is not difficult for me. , As for jewelry and antiques, the ones I have are unmarked, and they are not very special ones, so I have taken this into consideration!”
Vlad is not stupid. He will not make such a low-level mistake. If he takes those very special and conspicuous jewelry, or antiques with obvious signs, once he sells it, I am afraid that the money will not be hot, and the generals will come to block the door. , the world government has always made mistakes in killing such guys who dare to offend the Tianlong people.
Vlad thinks that his IQ is still enough. The treasures he takes are some gold that can be directly recast or some more ordinary jewelry and antiques without any signs, which are hard to find. Kind of, after all, stealing other people’s things and setting fire to people’s homes by the way, this kind of behavior always feels a little bad, so it’s better not to let people catch it.
“The question now is,”
Vlad dug out three fruits from the treasure pile, placed them on the table, and said with a smile, “What to do with these things!”
“this is,”
Dino, who has always been calm, was a little surprised: “Devil fruit?”
“That’s right,”
Vlad looked at the three fruits covered with spiral patterns on the table, looking a little troubled: “The question now is how to deal with these fruits?”
“What? Devil Fruit doesn’t have to worry about shooting,”
Dino said eloquently: “We can keep it for ourselves. After all, we can’t always have only the three people we have now. The scale will definitely expand, so,”
Dino said softly: “You can put away these Devil Fruits and wait until someone in need appears.”
“Of course I thought about it, but, chef, have you ever thought about one thing,”
Vlad’s voice was a little low: “Do the Tianlong people know the power of these fruits? Although Mary Joa has been burned to a white ground by me, the remaining Devil Fruits in it should have also been burned, and no one knows that I took it. A few Devil Fruits go, but,”
“What if they know the ability of every devil fruit? Once we show such ability, it means that we are exposed! Even if there is a fruit rebirth, the world government doesn’t like to reason.”
“This…”
Dino hesitated.
“Of course, we can also hope that they don’t know the abilities of these fruits. After all, there are too many devil fruits, not all fruits have appeared, and not all fruits know the abilities,”
Vlad smiled and said, “How about it? Do you want to gamble?”
“call…”
Dino sighed slowly and said with a smile, “I think I can take a gamble!”
“—Wu ha ha ha ha!”
Vlad laughed, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: “Just, I think so too, how is it? Chef,”
“If you are interested, pick one!”
