30 billion Belly, at least?
He might as well boss and sell his boss out to the Marine and collect the Bounty about a dozen times.
Giotto came to the technical department to see the research of the Dying Will Bullet Verde had developed. He didn't expect to be ambushed like this!
Just now, Spanner asked him for money. Even if he did give him more research funds, it shouldn't cost too much to improve the contact lens. Now, Verde casually asked for at least 30 billion Belly. Although he didn't mean to ask for it forcibly, Giotto had no way to refuse!
The importance of Vongola Box Weapons was self-evident. Even if he were to go bankrupt, he would have to support Verde's research!
"Little Robin, how much money can the Family afford now?" Giotto turned his head stiffly and looked at Robin, who was beside him.
"Other than the expenses needed for the next year in the Family, there is still 3.3 billion Belly left. Simply put, the funds that the Family could afford to use now were barely one-tenth of what Verde just asked."
Robin now knew the ins and outs of the Family's information. "Most of the money we earned from Umit has been invested in the technical department's research. Now, there is almost nothing left from that source. The remaining funds now consisted mainly of the money that Varia earned in the Dark World. Secondly, Green Iron Island and White Stone Island can provide the Family with an average income of 1.2 billion Belly annually. However, Chief Instructor Colonello's expenses are also quite big, so the amount of money that the Family needs every year is also extremely terrifying. Of course, by the end of this year, when the seastone business in Wano Country officially operates, the Family's financial situation will get much better. At that time, not only will Chief Instructor Colonello be self-sufficient, but he will also be able to provide income for the Family."
Indeed, Colonello was responsible for the large-scale training of the new recruit for the Family, and it obviously required a large amount of money.
But both the technical department's research and Colonello's training camp were indispensable for the Family.
Moreover, the members that Colonello trained will be elite for sure!
"Well, it seems that I have to find a way to get some money back before the seastone business is up and running..." Giotto sounded helpless. He felt like he was born for the Family to make money.
Why were other bosses just lazing around while enjoying their wine every day?
"If you can get me a powerful enough Zoan Devil Fruit, then the money I need will be greatly reduced. It will be ideal if I can get a Mythical Zoan one. This can also boost the power of Vongola Box Weapons."
Verde finally finished his work. He turned to look at Giotto and said, "Of course, ordinary Devil Fruit will do, but it is definitely nowhere close to a Box Weapon made from a Mythical Zoan. And before that, I need at least ten Devil Fruits to conduct an experiment. It is not easy to combine the power of this thing with Box Weapons."
Giotto felt like his patience was being tested. After demanding money, Verde asked for Devil Fruits, too. It did reduce the money, but...
There were only a handful of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits in the world right now!
The Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User that most people knew might only be Marco and Sengoku. Where could he find other Mythical Devil Fruits for Verde?
Giotto felt the pressure was huge...
"Alright, I'll leave these matters to you, boss. I'll take you to see the Dying Will Rings now."
Verde jumped down from his chair and walked towards another research room that he specifically used to develop the Dying Will Rings.
When he heard the Dying Will Rings, Giotto was a little relieved. As for the funds and Devil Fruit that Verde mentioned just now, he could slowly solve this problem later.
The weather in the New World was volatile. What if it was raining Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit later?
Well, even Giotto himself thought that he was still dreaming.
After following Verde into another research room, Giotto immediately saw four rings placed in the middle of the research room with the color green, red, yellow, and blue, respectively. There were special patterns engraved on them.
"The Dying Will Ring allowed ordinary people to harness Dying Will Flame's power. However, the user must've awakened Wave Energy first. In other words, not only could these rings enhance Dying Will Flame, but they could also replace Dying Will Pill.
Verde picked up one of the rings as he explained the details to Giotto. Each ring can only be used by the people with the corresponding Flame attribute. In addition, these Dying Will Rings can also be used to open Box Weapons. Of course, I don't need to say anything about what's necessary to make Box Weapons, right boss?
Indeed, there was no need for Verde to say more. What he needed was definitely money.
"I know. You don't have to bring it up every time, you know."
Giotto sighed and asked, "How about the production efficiency of the Dying Will Ring?"
Verde shook his head and said, "It's not so great, unfortunately. On average, it will take three months to produce a Dying Will Ring. However, I think it is enough. Ordinary members can use Dying Will Pill and give the Dying Will Ring to a select few.
That's right. Ordinary members do not need something fancy like Dying Will Ring. At the very least, it had to be a skilled enough Family Member that deserved to use Dying Will Ring. There were obviously not many people that fit such criteria. After all, Vongola Family's original members already had their own ring. For now, the ones who needed the Dying Will Ring were Enel, Crowley, and a few others...
"Robin, give these Dying Will Rings to Enel, Crowley, and Kyros, respectively, and keep the remaining Rain Dying Will Ring for the time being."
Giotto immediately instructed Robin regarding his plan for the Dying Will Rings.
Enel had a Lightning Flame, while Crowley had a Storm Flame. Kyros had also awakened Dying Will Flame a while ago, and his attribute was Sun.
As for the death ring of the rain attribute, it could be used by Kuina later. However, Kuina was still too young, and she hadn't awakened Dying Will Flame yet, so he let Robin keep it first.
In any case, Kuina inherited Shigure Soen Ryu, and she should have Rain Flame later.
