Wealth, what is it?
Wealth, or perhaps the most useful thing in the world, this is common no matter in that world. There is a good saying, money is not omnipotent, but it is impossible to not have money. There is also a good saying, money can really do whatever you want, Vlad still quite agrees with this point of view.
In the previous life, there is no need to talk about it. It can only be said that the happiness of rich people can not be imagined at all. After all, poverty has limited our imagination. Even in this one piece world where human lives are like grass and monsters fly everywhere, wealth is also very important thing. The fact that Tesoro can use Berry to shake the Celestial Dragons is the most powerful proof.
Vlad is very poor, really very poor. Even when he was still in the Charlotte Family, he was not very rich. Although he is an internal officer, he can not have a small amount of money, but he has a lot of income and also a lot of expenses. Charlotte Lingling is crazy from time to time, the reconstruction fee of ten thousand countries is not much lower than the annual protection fee.
It had been like this before, not to mention Vlad who had left the Charlotte Family. Vlad, who could not bear to be a pirate, had been in a state of poverty recently. Even if the Golden Emperor supported him, there was still a big gap from the wealth reserves in his heart. After all, even pirates would have a lot of financial expenses, especially for ambitious pirates like Vlad.
Everything in the sea required money, ships, materials, equipment, and even the Four Emperors could not avoid these. Even if Whitebeard told him not to eat for a few months, he would leave without you fighting. In the sea, these things could not be avoided, and they all relied on money.
But not everything could be robbed, even pirates were like this. After all, it was like building ships, repairing ships, buying equipment, and coating. If it was robbed by force, who could guarantee that the other side would not give you a surprise? Think about it, tens of thousands of meters underwater, the membrane suddenly broke, how wonderful it was.
It could be said that stealing money was one of the main purposes of the trip to Marygeoise. After all, the Celestial Dragons had no other characteristics. The most famous thing was that they were stupid and rich. Presumably, it was not a big deal for them to provide for poor people like themselves. Every year, the Alliance of the World Government gave the Celestial Dragons an astronomical amount of gold. Vlad believed that the Celestial Dragons would never care about the money he robbed.
On one hand, the reason for causing trouble for Marygeoise was to snatch the money. On the other hand, it was also to test the strength of the Celestial Dragons. It was not unreasonable for the Celestial Dragons to rule the world for eight hundred years. Any guard leader could put Vlad in a difficult battle. However, this was not what Vlad wanted to see. What he wanted to know was the strength of the Celestial Dragons themselves. It was a pity that he did not see it. Even if the old nest was burned, the Celestial Dragons did not reveal their trump cards. Vlad was very disappointed.
Of course, there was a certain factor in brushing up some people's favorability. After all, everyone understood.
Then, today, the old days of poverty finally disappeared. Vlad thought this way.
The golden light on the table confirmed his thoughts, which made Vlad a little touched. After all, the feeling of having money was really good.
"Wahaha,"
Vlad had a feeling of satisfaction. With money, he had everything.
"Mm,"
Dino stroked his chin and said in a tone that was uncertain, "These gold, antiques, and jewelry together should be worth more than two billion Berry. It really is a big fortune!"
"Huh?"
Vlad turned around in surprise and looked at his chef. "Oh, you know a lot about chefs."
"Yes,"
Dinuo nodded calmly and said casually, "I know a little, I know a little."
"Oh? I see!"
Vlad scratched his head and smiled, "More than two billion? Then I guess this is the only number I can get through the black market."
Haha, that's enough, that's enough!
"But, Mr. Vlad,"
Dinuo was a little worried. "These things have a very obvious mark of the Celestial Dragons on them. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to attack them directly."
"It doesn't matter!"
Vlad raised a finger, and fiery red scales covered it in an instant. Then, a golden flame jumped up and laughed softly. "If it's gold, just melt it. It's not difficult for me. As for jewelry and antiques, I have no signs of them. They are not very special. I have considered this!"
Vlad was not stupid. He would not make such a low-level mistake. If he took those very special, eye-catching jewelry or antiques with obvious signs, once he made a move, he was afraid that the money would not be enough. Even the Admiral had come to block the door. The world government had always killed and killed people who dared to offend the Celestial Dragons.
Vlad thought that his IQ was still enough. The treasures he took were some gold or some ordinary jewelry and antiques that could be directly reforged. They were the ones that were difficult to be found. After all, stealing people's things and burning their homes. This kind of behavior was not good, so it was better not to be caught.
"The problem now is,"
Vlad took out three fruits from the pile of treasures and placed them on the table. He smiled and said, "How do we deal with these things?"
"This is,"
Dino, who had always been calm, was a little surprised. "Devil fruit?"
"That's right,"
Vlad looked at the three fruits on the table that were full of spiral patterns. "The problem now is how to deal with these fruits?"
"What? You don't have to worry about the problem of the devil fruits."
Dino spoke frankly, "We can keep it for ourselves. After all, it is impossible for us to only have these three people in the future. The scale will definitely expand, so..."
Dino said softly, "You can keep these devil fruits and wait for the people who need them to appear."
"Of course I thought about it, but Chef, have you considered one thing?"
Vlad's voice was a little low. "Do the Celestial Dragons know the abilities of these fruits? Although I have burned Maryfeoise into a white land, the remaining devil fruits inside should have been burned away. No one knows how many devil fruits I have taken away, but..."
"What if they know the abilities of each devil fruit? Once we show such an ability, it means that we have been exposed! That is, the situation of the existence of the fruit being reborn, but the world government does not like to be reasonable."
"This..."
Dino was a little hesitant.
"Of course, we can also hope that they do not know the abilities of these fruits. After all, there are too many devil fruits. Not all the fruits have appeared, and not all the fruits know the ability."
Vlad smiled, "How is it? Do you want to take a gamble?"
"Hu..."
Dino slowly let out a breath and smiled, "I think I can take a gamble!"
"Wahahahaha!"
Vlad laughed, leaned back in his chair, and laughed. "That's exactly what I was thinking. How about it, chef?"
"Are you interested? Pick one!"
