“So if it works, let’s be the best resellers and manufacturers.”

(PS1: Well~~Sister Robin appears~~Everyone applauds and welcomes~~Papapapa~)

(PS2: We have secured the sales. After all, if you risk selling such a dangerous thing yourself, it would be wiser to find someone with a big enough head to take the blame~)

The decision of the ‘big man’

As a region whose geographical location is similar to that of the Earth's equator, there are also many continents and countries along the route of the Great Line, and one of them is named Alabasta, a country with many desert areas inside. Among its offshore cities is a city called Rainland, where a being with a very special identity lives.

The reason why this identity is special is because it does refer to a pirate, and it is not a pirate who will be surrounded or even eliminated by the navy, but a special person who has accepted the enfeoffment of the World Government and thus enjoys many privileges. Pirates, and the name of this position is the so-called "King Shichibukai".

As the name suggests, this is a special existence with only seven seats in the entire world. They are neither ordinary pirates nor ordinary naval officers, but some kind of existence in between. What is certain is that this position enjoys a certain territory of its own and can manage it according to its own wishes.

And the lord of this city called Rainland is one of the Seven Warlords under the King, Sand Crocodile. Of course, he also has another reputation, that is, the Hero of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Because it was him who had defeated other pirates who had plundered this country many times, it is not surprising that he was trusted and respected by the people. .

Of course, such a hero is often not as pure as the public expects, because his private identity is the BOSS behind the killer organization Baroque Works, code-named Mr0, and Nico Robin is his subordinate. deputy.

"It's really rare that you actually fail sometimes when you take action yourself."

Sitting behind the huge glass water tank, the face of the man on the chair seemed to have become gloomier due to the dim water light. A huge straight wound ran across his entire face, and his meticulously combed back hair style, It clearly shows the other person's personal taste. However, just like the wounds on his face, the opponent's left hand was also broken from the wrist, replaced by a golden hook that shone with cold metallic light. This slightly cruel dress seemed to show part of the opponent's character.

Yes, this is the man named Crocodile, one of the seven great pirates in the world today who can be recognized by the world government.

"Sorry, she seems to be quite wary of becoming a member of other organizations. I'm afraid she doesn't trust any organization at all."

Robin knew that Crocodile's words like this were definitely not expressions of emotion, but a dangerous accountability. Even though she was currently regarded as the opponent's deputy, and the failed mission was just a recruitment mission that did not harm the overall situation, but This result of not achieving the original goal has made this demanding boss feel dissatisfied.

"However, I still persuaded her to help the working company draw the nautical chart. She will not interfere or betray the information and source of the chart, but there are two conditions."

Leaving a gap between his words, Robin knew that he had to wait until the other party was willing to accept this alternative method of effectiveness before he could continue to talk about Nami's conditions. Otherwise, it would only cause the other party's displeasure.

"...Forget it, anyway, my purpose is just to plan for future possibilities... Let's do it this way, you can tell her conditions."

Crocodile was silent for a while, obviously still thinking about the importance of nautical charts to this era. After all, this is a country that is also close to the sea. If you want to draw accurate nautical charts to ensure smooth shipping, it is indispensable. Nami's superb drawing ability, so this ambitious man agreed to this method.

"First, she seems to have offended the Don Quixote family's Chamber of Commerce before, so she wants to pray for your protection. After all, she is one of the Seven Martial Arts under the King just like you."

Robin did not describe the reason why Nami got into trouble with the Don Quixote family, because it was not important at all. After all, the result had already been done, so it depends on whether Crocodile is willing to wade into this muddy water.

"Oh~ You can't tell that he is a guy with a bit of backbone. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer newcomers with such courage. There are more scum pursuing unrealistic dreams. Okay, I agree to this condition. You can tell me the next one.”

Unexpectedly, Crocodile's originally gloomy expression improved slightly after Robin's report. It could be seen that he quite appreciated Nami's daring to offend another Shichibukai. Considering that the Shichibukai There is usually a competitive relationship between them, so it is not difficult to understand their mentality of appreciating Nami's behavior.

"The second thing is that she wants us to help her sell a product on a consignment basis. You should have heard about it recently, the demon knife named Xia Lan."

Taking out the copy of Xia Lan on one side and placing it in front of Crokraar, Robin nodded slightly: "However, this is just a copy of Xia Lan, and it seems that she can make more at any time."

"Hmph, I'm not interested in fairy tale toys that can grant wishes. Let's be honest, what's different about it?"

Frowning with a hint of disgust, Crocodile apparently ignored the rumored news that the demon sword could grant wishes, but he was indeed right, because these subsequent skills were basically the result of rumors.

"In addition to the sharpness and sturdiness of the famous sword, it should be that the wound it cuts will not heal and will only bleed to death."

Crossing her arms, Robin had obviously done a little experiment, but she didn't try the knife on anyone. She only confirmed that the ability of the demon knife replica on a sand lizard really existed. Officially brought it up with Crocodile, the boss who was not very generous.

"Huh? This is interesting. Once hit by a knife, even a scratch will be fatal. Is it strange that there are people in the East China Sea who can make such interesting things?"

His interest was obviously aroused. Crocodile is undoubtedly the kind of person who treats his enemies with complete cruelty. He casually pulled out the Xialan replica on his desk. The red blade pattern and serrations on the blade The blade of the knife also made this cruel man nod slightly: "Yes, it does look different from those ordinary scrap copper and iron. In this case, it shouldn't be too cheap, right?"

"The lovely orange-haired lady said that she would take back 10 million berries each time. As for the price we can sell these knives for, she won't interfere."

Robin's answer finally revealed a smile on Crocodile's face, although under the reflection of Xia Lan's strange blood-red blade pattern, this smile also carried the same bloodthirsty feeling.

There is no doubt that as one of the Seven Warlords under the King and the boss behind Baroque Works, Crocodile's channels are by no means comparable to those of ordinary organizations. In fact, he hardly needs any clear channels. He only needs to show his identity as King Shichibukai to show the most powerful advertising effect.

This is the so-called prestige advantage, especially for an existence like the Qiwuhai under the king, which is between the black and white paths. It is completely able to dabble in both channels.

"Oh, just now we were talking about the clown who only knows how to hold gladiatorial arenas and slave auctions. I didn't expect that we would be back to each other so quickly."

Appreciating the red blade pattern of Xia Lan in his hand, Crocodile is obviously not stupid at all. The price of Xia Lan means that it can only be a luxury item, so there is no possibility of equipping his own army. The most suitable behavior for a demon sword that can cause wounds to bleed continuously with one strike is undoubtedly assassination or duel.

In the case of the former, the market is not stable, and once the assassination involves senior personnel, it is easy to follow the clues to investigate, or even completely ban this kind of demon sword. As a sales agent, Crocodile will undoubtedly bear the brunt of this criticism.

Therefore, the only area suitable for this kind of demon sword is the gladiatorial arena. Knives that can cause death as long as they are struck or even scratched will undoubtedly become a new prop in the arena that will make the audience excited. Not only that, in the great sea route where strong men gather, there are also many master swordsmen who are eager to have a sharp blade that fits their hands and conquer the world. In this way, the market for this kind of weapon will not be lacking.

If you want to kill your enemies by any means necessary, what could be more satisfying than a demonic knife that can bleed to death with just a scratch?

"Do you want me to contact Mr. Don Quixote, who is also one of the Seven Martial Arts under the King?"

Listening to the words, Robin is naturally very well-informed about these big shots. And the person behind the Don Quixote Chamber of Commerce, another person who is also the King of the Shichibukai, runs the business of gladiatorial arenas and various slave trading auctions. In short, the other party should be the one who needs it most. People with this kind of goods.

"Of course, I am a hero of this country, how can I have anything to do with Demon Sword on the surface?"

With a smile on his face, he put Xia Lan back into the scabbard. Crocodile's tone was extremely simple: "Tell that clown, I want 30 million berries for each knife like this. As for what he can do with it?" The price at which such a weapon is sold is his business."

"Understood, then let's contact and negotiate."

Robin was not surprised by Crocodile's approach. The other party had no patience to sell such products that might damage the national reputation. Therefore, he also wanted to find a consignment agent, that is, the Don Quixote Chamber of Commerce, which had a real demand for this.

The result is obviously not surprising. After all, it is a real thing that such products can bring profits, and for this profit, these Shichibukai under the King are enough to be more kind and friendly than usual.

After all, they are neither pirates pursuing freedom nor navy pursuing stability. Their job is to represent traders who use their own strength to seek the best interests for themselves.

(PS1: Ah... is this really old? I didn’t feel it last year, but this year I found that my energy was seriously lacking when I stayed up late...)

(PS2: Anyway~ I have two more updates today, and I still owe 50 updates~)

allocation of funds

In many cases, the value of a product has little to do with the material it is made of. It is more about the location where they appear and their specific effects.

Just like a bottle of clear water, it is worthless to people who live next to lakes or mountains and rivers, but for a person who is about to die of thirst after a long journey in the desert, this kind of clear water is enough for him. Spend all your money to buy a unique treasure.

"Fufufufufu, it's really rare, you crocodile bastard. I thought that a country guy like you who only dared to wander around the first half of the Grand Route didn't have any good stuff. I didn't expect that you could actually come up with some good stuff. What's wrong? What if? If you really have no money to spend, how about joining forces with me?"

On the table in front of Crocodile, a telephone bug is communicating. As a unique and strange communication tool in this world, its biggest feature is that it simulates the face and expression of the caller during the call. Regardless of whether the phone bug is at this moment The simulated arrogant mouth corners and the emotional laughter can all show the character traits of the electric person.

"Guhahahaha, each other, I thought you were just a slave trader. Now it seems that you are not blind at all. I always thought that the glasses you wore were just to cover up the fact that you are blind. Stop talking nonsense. No. If you want money to buy it, just shut up. Anyway, there are as many people in the new world who need this kind of weapon as they want."

The person who can directly contact a Shichibukai like Crocodile is undoubtedly another Shichibukai, but the smell of gunpowder in the words between the two cannot be concealed. Although it sounds like a friendly solicitation, it is more like a mutual humiliation of mutual testing, and Crocodile has no intention of covering up his tone. After all, he is also a Shichibukai and he understands Don Quixote's character. It may be a little insufficient if you can't afford it without profit, but if it is a business with obvious profits and you have the energy to do it, the other party will never let it go.

"Fufu, there is nothing I can do. For the sake of being a Shichibukai, I will kindly help you sell it on your behalf. If you don't have money to spend, just contact me if you have similar products."

Neither side's words can break the other's face, so it won't take too long for such nonsense. Don Quixote personally contacted Crocodile not only to finalize the business, but also for this fellow Shichibukai. People's testing and prevention, at least to determine whether the other party intends to infringe on his market share, etc. Now it seems that Crocodile is indeed not interested in business in the new world, and simply wants to find himself to sell on his behalf. Then Don Quixote naturally doesn't need to worry.

Robin stood quietly and watched this negotiation, which was not considered a negotiation. If you put it on the middle-level staff, determining the business might require a lot of meetings and decisions to be completed, but for the big shots who can make decisions with just one word. For one thing, a clear phone call can completely decide the matter, and it doesn't even prevent the two from mocking each other.

If it were normal times, Robin might be concerned about Crocodile's methods, but now, she was slightly distracted: there is no doubt that she hid a lot of information about her meeting with Nami from Crocodile this time. Not only did the other party see through her identity, but it was not difficult to see from the other party's words that the other party had long known that the boss behind Baroque Works was none other than Crocodile, who is currently a national hero. As for the other party's request to Crocodile Helping her sell this product revealed a strange feeling that seemed to have been expected.
