Thinking that he might join the group that gets beaten up, Raynor was a little scared.
Before Raynor could say anything, Nami yelled at Raynor directly:
"Hey, what were you saying just now? You're turning down money from a business that came to us?"
After speaking, Nami immediately turned around, her eyes turning into the shape of money.
Then grabbed Vivi's hand and said:
"So, you are the noble Princess, we were blind before."
"Please forgive us, Princess."
After speaking, Nami showed a shady expression, then got close to Vivi and said:
"However, if you want us to escort you back, you need to pay us at least a billion berries."
As soon as these words came out, both Vivi and Raynor were shocked.
This person really has no limit when it comes to money.
Given the current situation in Alabasta, let alone a billion berries, it would be difficult to come up with even a hundred million berries.
Vivi gritted her teeth, endured her fear of Nami, and roared angrily:
"How could we possibly afford that price? Besides, who wants you to escort us? Don't assume things!"
Hearing this, Nami directly took out a newspaper and pointed to the content on it, saying:
"Are you serious? You should be in trouble right now, right?"
This newspaper was found in the clothes that Vivi took off earlier.
At first, Nami didn't pay attention to it, but after learning that Vivi was the Princess of Alabasta,
Nami came up with a bold idea.
Since she's from a kingdom, taking out some money should be easy.
She doesn't believe that a country's income can't even afford a billion berries.
Seeing the newspaper and hearing Nami's words, Vivi broke down.
Tears uncontrollably flowed down.
Indeed, Alabasta needs someone to save it now.
And previously, Raynor's strength had proven that he could take on this responsibility.
However, the huge expense of a billion berries, not to mention now, when Alabasta has internal and external problems.
Even when Alabasta is at peace, it would be difficult to come up with so much money at once.
Her father, Cobra, has always been kind to the people, often reducing taxes.
Sometimes he even takes out money to support the people and develop wasteland, so the kingdom has no money at all.
The drought in recent years has made the kingdom's financial expenditure even tighter.
How could they possibly have money to pay these pirates?
That would be worse than giving the country to Crocodile.
Seeing Vivi's sad appearance, Nami couldn't help but wonder if a kingdom had really reached the point where it couldn't even afford a billion berries.
Thinking, Nami hesitated for a moment, a difficult choice appearing on her face.
Then she held up two fingers.
Seeing this, Raynor couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He didn't expect Nami to be so generous, giving up eight hundred million berries at once. This isn't like Nami.
As Raynor was thinking, Nami said in a businesslike tone:
"Nine hundred and eighty million berries, and that's the lowest it can go."
Hearing this, Raynor's face darkened. As expected, this is Nami.
But whether or not to deduct those twenty million makes no difference, Vivi won't pay it anyway.
Hearing Nami's rude request, Vivi certainly wouldn't agree.
She said angrily:
"Please, stop joking, how could we possibly have so much money!"
"If you don't want to help me, please leave quickly!"
"I will save my country in my own way!"
At this time, tears were already hanging on Vivi's eyes.
Her voice was also a bit choked up, which softened Nami's heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Nami seemed to have made a decision against her nature.
Then she held up one finger.
"One hundred million berries, and that's the lowest it can go…"
...
Inside the room, Luffy was still fast asleep.
In his dream, he was lying on a roasted giant seaking, constantly gnawing at it.
He accidentally bit his tongue and woke up with a start.
Finally, he realized it was a dream and calmed down.
But at this time, Luffy saw the bounty hunters lying all over the place around him, in a mess.
Suddenly his eyes widened, thinking that he had been attacked by enemies.
Then he got up and checked their condition.
Although their injuries were not fatal,
these people were all on their last breath.
At this time, a bounty hunter who still had a breath of air grabbed Luffy's clothes.
Seeing this, Luffy immediately asked:
"Who did this!"
Hearing this, the bounty hunter subconsciously said:
"Green, green hair…"
After speaking, the bounty hunter fainted, and hearing the words "green hair," Luffy's eyes widened instantly.
Thinking carefully, who else has green hair besides Zoro?
In other words, Zoro did this!
Thinking of this, Luffy clenched his fists, and moved his oversized stomach, and ran outside.
"Zoro! You jerk! How dare you treat our benefactors like this!"
Luffy rushed out of the room and saw bounty hunters lying all over the place, wounded by swords.
Now, he was even more certain that this must be Zoro's doing.
Because of this, Luffy became even more angry and roared to the sky.
"It's terrible, how can you treat the people who gave us food like this!"
Luffy's shout was heard by Zoro.
But at this time, hundreds of bounty hunters had surrounded him, and he had no room to turn around.
Zoro knocked them away one by one with his sword.
But they didn't notice that one person seemed to be missing from the bounty hunters.
The battle intensified, and Zoro found an opportunity to knock away a bounty hunter,
He was just about to break through to find Luffy, but in the next second, he was punched back by that muscular woman.
Zoro's sword instantly fell out of his hand, and the muscular woman grabbed Zoro's wrist.
She actually twisted Zoro's wrist.
A solemn look appeared in Zoro's eyes.
He said with a cold face:
"You're quite strong, it's just a pity that you're a girl."
As he spoke, Zoro directly grabbed the muscular woman's head with his other hand.
He instantly used his arm strength, his muscles bulging.
The muscular woman's entire body curled up in pain and lost its strength.
Zoro actually lifted her up with one hand.
"Training yourself like this is useless, you will never be able to beat me in core strength."
After speaking, Zoro threw the muscular woman flying away with one hand.
Then he broke through the encirclement and ran towards Luffy's direction.
But Zoro had just gone halfway when suddenly a small black ball flew towards him.
