My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 179 If he knew how to make money...

"To add, the money we have now can almost repay the 2 billion loan borrowed by Kuromi. The 30 billion beli is the budget for the next three years, and it is not paid in one lump sum."

Crowe held the list, pushed up his glasses habitually, and said.

"Huh? There is still so much money." Esdeath said a little surprised, "After traveling around the East China Sea, I always thought that we were already broke."

"Lord Esdeath, you are in the navy, and you are under the direct command of the general." Crowe was a little confused. "The world government provides food, clothing, housing and transportation. You get a monthly salary. There are also various bonuses and subsidies during the holidays, and there is no gambling. Bad habits like that.”

"You won't become poor, right?"

"Then you know nothing about Esdeath's ability to burn money."

Annan's mouth twitched, indicating that he was used to it.

In terms of finance over the years, Annan has always been in charge. If it were Esdeath...

The navy earns a lot, but it also spends a lot. Especially after they were promoted and started taking people on cruises, the money was really flowing like water.

She and Annan have been living in Branch 24 since they joined the navy. Their food and accommodation are covered by the branch, and as orphans, they have additional subsidies.

But other navies are different. Many navies have families, and the navy's salary alone is completely insufficient, so Esdeath often helps them.

As for why? Esdeath has no interest in money. Money is just something outside of yourself, as long as it is enough.

When purchasing supplies during the cruise, she did not accept "filial piety" from the people. All the supplies she purchased were at market prices, and she did not buy or sell them by force.

The bounty received for arresting pirates was also distributed to the navy under his command. Except for the small portion of the captured loot, all the rest was also distributed to his subordinates.

Not only that, she often treats her subordinates to meals at her own expense. For the navy who died in the line of duty, in addition to the pensions paid by the navy to their families, she herself has to add another sum.

Well, use your own salary.

This is why so many people saw them off when they left the branch.

And most of the two billion Baileys in the hands of Annan and Esdeath are rewards from their headquarters after defeating the Golden Lion.

Annan was still very satisfied with this. The bounty before the Golden Lion was arrested and imprisoned was 600 million beli, but the 600 million back then and the 600 million now are not the same concept.

It's interesting enough that this department can issue two billion beli.

"The urgent needs have been solved, so we have to focus on the future."

"The cost of upgrading the Ice and Fire Man is indeed a bit high. How about we..." Esdeath touched his chin and opened his mouth to say.

"Don't think about raising this huge sum of money by catching pirates and collecting bounties."

Annan seemed to know what Esdeath wanted to say.

"Let's not mention whether the pirates with bounties on the sea have so much money in total...do you want to fight the Yonko now?"

"Yeah, yeah." Esdeath nodded.

"Um... you really climbed up the pole. But our navy can't fight against the Yonko casually, at least not now. This method should wait."

Annan curled his lips.

"It's really not possible to let a fighting maniac like you manage the economy. Fortunately, we now have the most powerful brain in the East China Sea."

Annan patted his head and focused on Crowe.

"You can't fight a war, and I can't make money. Whether you can make the remaining 28 billion Baileys depends entirely on you."

"Clo, use your smart brain to think about any formal way to make money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Annan started to murmur in his heart:

"That's not right. If he knew how to make real money, would he still work as a housekeeper for three years to steal money from other girls?"
