Pirate Throne of Salt

Wealth, what is it?

Wealth may be the most useful thing in the world. This is universal no matter which world it is in. There is a saying that goes well, money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible. There is another saying that goes well, If you have money, you can really do whatever you want, and Matthew quite agrees with this view.

In the past life, it goes without saying. It can only be said that the happiness of the rich is simply unimaginable. After all, poverty limits our imagination. Even in this pirate world where human life is like a piece of grass and monsters are flying everywhere, wealth is very rare. Important things, the future Gilder Tezolo can shake the Celestial Dragons with gold, this is the most powerful proof.

Matthew is very poor, very poor. Of course, there is a reason for this. After all, life has been too hard these years. Although he has no worries about food and drink, Shi Sheng will generously spend money to share some with himself, but he is still poor. No reason to refute.

Everything on the sea requires money, boats, supplies, and equipment. Even the Four Emperors cannot avoid these. Even if you let Whitebeard go without food for several months, he will leave without you fighting him. On the sea, These things are inevitable and all depend on money.

But not everything can be robbed, even for pirates. After all, if you rely on force to rob things like ship building, repairing ships, buying equipment, and coating, who can guarantee whether the other party will give you a Surprise, think about it, tens of thousands of meters underwater, the membrane suddenly bursts, how wonderful it is, so this is why the big pirates have various territories in the new world. What are these territories for, tax collection , plant my flag and accept my protection, isn’t it right to pay taxes?

As for this one-night trip to Marigio, it can be said that robbing money is one of Matthew's main purposes. After all, the Tianlong people have no other characteristics. The most famous thing is that they are stupid, so they must help poor people like themselves. It's not a big deal. Every year, the world government's participating countries give the Dracos an astronomical amount of money. Matthew believes that those wealthy Dracos will never care about the money they grab.

Furthermore, given the character of Tianlong people, they don’t have enough money to spend. With just a greeting, countless people will send money.

In addition, Matthew had been waiting for more than a month to finally get Tiger. With the right time, the right location, and the right people, Matthew had no reason not to grab a shot.

However, this robbery also made Matthew realize that it is not unreasonable for the Tianlong people to rule the world for 800 years. After all, any guard can make him feel troublesome. Such a result is not what Matthew wants to see. , because just the superficial power is already so terrifying, coupled with external power, then how terrifying the power the Tianlong people really control is, Matthew can't imagine, after all, even if the nest is burned, the Tianlong people's trump card is still did not come.

Of course, there are certain factors involved in improving the favorability of certain people. After all, everyone knows it, but they don't know how many of the slaves they have released will succeed in the future.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic, because today, the poor life of the past is finally gone forever, and from now on, wealthy people will be synonymous with Matthew.

The large area of ​​golden light on the table confirmed his thoughts, which made Matthew really touched. After all, it feels good to be rich.

"Uh hahahahahahaha, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!!!"

Matthew now had the illusion that he could buy the whole world now.

Shi Sheng released everything in his ring, piles of Baileys, and pieces of treasure.

"Um……"

Simon, who was playing with his black umbrella with one hand, suddenly spoke with a sense of uncertainty in his tone: "If these gold and jewelry are exchanged, the current market value is about one billion beli, plus ten Tabeli, the total value of these things is about 15 billion."

"Ok?"

Matthew turned around in surprise: "Hey, Shi Sheng, it seems our helmsman knows this very well!"

"Hey! I haven't agreed to be your helmsman yet! Don't make the decision yourself first! Also, why should I be the helmsman!"

Shi Sheng waved his hand calmly: "Don't worry about it, Sir Simon, it's normal. After all, you have had experience at sea before, and you are definitely more than enough to be a helmsman."

"Asshole! Can't I be the captain?"

Matthew picked his nose, automatically ignored Simon's words, and then said to Shi Sheng: "By the way, Shi Sheng, wasn't your family a wealthy family before? Why can't you tell at a glance?"

"..."

Shi Sheng was speechless. There is no comparison between the two. My family used to be a noble, but the country was closed. It was only a few years after the founding of the country, and Bailey was only circulated for a few years. I don’t know, it’s normal. People float on the sea every day. You know. The market price is also quite normal.

"Um, Mr. Matthew, I want to ask, these antiques have obvious hoof prints of the Nine Heavenly Dragon. How are you going to solve them?"

"This is very simple!"

Matthew stretched out his hand, and grains of salt adhered to the red marks and began to slowly erode. In just three breaths, the marks on the antique were eroded away, and the salt grains were under Matthew's precise control. , the antique itself has not been damaged.

Although Matthew and Shi Sheng took advantage of the situation and were a little hasty, they were not stupid, so the things they got were easy to circulate in the market.

"By the way, you two, the question we should be concerned about now is, how to deal with this thing?"

Under the shocked eyes of Matthew and Simon, Shi Sheng took out a strange fruit with white spiral stripes from the ring.

"this is……"

The seemingly calm Simon was also interested at this time: "Devil fruit?"

"That's right!"

"It's a devil fruit!"

Matthew affirmed directly.

"I think you don't have to worry about taking action with this Devil Fruit. After all, there can't be only three of us in our pirate group!"

Simon said, then he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and Simon changed his words again and again, "No, no, it's you..."

Matthew looked at us with an aggressive look: "We are not a family, we don't enter the same house. It seems that you have recognized us! Welcome to join us."

"Well, although I just learned about forming a pirate group, it seems that I am a destined member, so you are welcome to join!"

Simon felt a little regretful at this time, but it seemed that joining them might not be a bad idea. Forget it, just treat it as a return of favor. After all, he saved himself.

"Okay, but let's make it clear first that my salary cannot be less. At least it must allow me to have money to prepare magic materials!"

Before Simon finished speaking, Matthew started flipping through the fruit album, completely ignoring this sentence.

Huh, no mention of money, no mention of money.

"There seems to be no record of this fruit in the devil fruit album?"

"A new devil fruit? Which one of you will eat it?"

Tokio looked at Simon and pointed to the two samurai swords on his waist: "They are enough for swordsmen."

Simon crossed his arms and said calmly: "Magicians don't need this either."

Good guys, are you all so confident?
