Chapter 65: The Fruit of 100 Million (Part II)

It's the shabby and nondescript hotel again.

Barbarossa knew that Alcatio had always looked down on him, and he didn't want people to know that the Buendia family, which was famous in the entire Kalmar Kingdom, was in collusion with a group of unruly pirates, so every time he met him, he was very secretive.

Alcatio looked down on Barbarossa, who came from a humble background, and Barbarossa also disagreed with Alcatio's self-deception, but now Barbarossa has a request for others, even if he is reckless, he knows how to hide his thoughts.

Barbarossa anxiously poured glass after glass of wine into his mouth, and Neil, who was sitting on the same couch with him, looked restless.

Opposite the two, Eaton, the butler of the Buendia family, knocked on Erlang's leg and leisurely looked at a newspaper.

The atmosphere in the room was dreary and oppressive, and just as Barbarossa was about to lose his anger, the door to the guest room was suddenly opened from the outside.

Eaton, the butler, sprang up from his chair as if he had a spring under him, threw the newspaper on the table, bowed half-bowed to salute the visitor, and then quickly took out a white handkerchief from his bosom and threw it on a chair cushion.

The first to walk into the room was a thin old man, his gray hair was meticulously tied behind his head, and the neat and smooth mustache that was trimmed and maintained faintly revealed his privileged living environment.

The old man knocked on the creaking floor of the guest room with his ivory cane, frowned a little dissatisfied, and then sat down on the chair where the butler Eaton had laid out a white handkerchief.

Two strong men in black suits, who followed the old man into the room, stood on his left and right sides without saying a word, and his eyes faintly fell on Barbarossa, who was red and smelled of wine, full of vigilance.

Neil stood up in a panic and saluted the old man, but the other party only glanced at Neil, and then raised his chin slightly, which was regarded as a response.

This old man is the head of the Buendía family, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom of Kalmar, the business partner of Barbarossa, and the owner of the city of Navia and the many private ports throughout the Kingdom of Kalma, Alcatio.

Barbarossa drank a lot of wine, it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine, but in fact he was not very drunk, his one-eyed swept over the waists of the two strong men, his gaze paused slightly on the ten hands made of Hailou stone, and then he retracted his gaze, and after raising his wine glass to the old man in front of him, he said sarcastically: "It's really not easy to see you, I even think this should be celebrated." ”

Alcatio frowned slightly, and said a little impatiently: "If any person who has some business dealings with me says that they want to see me, I will go to meet the other party, then how much time I have in a day is not enough, what is the matter with you this time?" If you want to see Remedis and Natasha, I tell you it's impossible, and if it is known that their husbands and fathers are pirates, the Buendía family and their reputations will be ruined. ”

Bang!

Enraged, Barbarossa crushed the glass in his hand, shards and drinks splashed everywhere, and the two strong guards reacted extremely quickly, almost immediately stepped forward to block Alcatio behind him, separating him from Barbarossa.

Both guards pinched the ten hands of the Hailou Stone that had installed the ability to restrain the Devil Fruit, but fortunately, Barbarossa was still sitting in place, and the two of them did not make any further movements.

After waiting for a moment, Alcatio gently pushed the two vigilant guards away, looked at the mess in front of Barbarossa, and said coldly, "Are you playing prestige with me?" Do you think I don't know about Devil Fruits like those fools? Do you really think you made a contract with a demon? Will you be afraid of you, a pirate who needs someone to guard the door even for a bath? ”

Barbarossa's face was blue and white for a while, and Neil on the side was really afraid that he couldn't help but get angry and fight, but Barbarossa didn't look as reckless as he looked on the outside, he finally suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to see their mother and daughter, I want you to help me find someone." ”

Arcatio nodded silently and motioned for Barbarossa to continue.

Barbarossa's eyes were red, and her voice trembled a little: "The deputy captain of my ship, my younger brother, Lacey, was ambushed and killed by a group of pirates, and the murderers are probably still in Navia City, I want you to help me find them." ”

"And then?" Alcatio asked.

Barbarossa said hatefully, "And then, of course, I slaughtered them with my own hands. ”

"No," Alcatio shook his head expressionlessly, "I mean, why do you think I should help you in Navia City, risking the Chief's favor to find a bunch of pirates who will die at sea at some point?" ”

Barbarossa was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily: "I helped you make so much money......." ”

Alcatio smiled silently, and said with some sarcasm: "You really look up to yourself, 'Redbeard', do you think that apart from me, who can you find in the East China Sea who would dare to do business with you, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't want my granddaughter to have no father early, I wouldn't bother to give you the aftermath of this person who spoils trouble all day long." ”

Alcatio took out a rolled-up piece of parchment from his bosom, threw it to Barbarossa, and said: "Your latest bounty list, 20 million Bailey, originally the navy of the East China Sea was going to report more cases to you, so I went around to let those greedy seagulls press the case on the heads of the other pirates, and finally only made up a whole number for you." ”

"The little money you earn me may not be enough to fight the navy."

Barbarossa was silent as he pinched his bounty list, and Alcatio didn't bother to continue talking to him when he saw this, so he got up and wanted to leave.

"Devil Fruit."

Before Alcatio was about to open the door, Barbarossa finally spoke, and the four words seemed to have a magical effect, so that Alcatio's feet were nailed to the floor.

Barbarossa said in a cold voice, "I'll help you find the Devil Fruit, you help me find someone!" ”

"Can you find the Devil Fruit?" Arcatio asked, looking back.

The value of the Devil Fruit is more than 100 million Baileys, and it has no price, even in the Great Voyage, the Devil Fruit is not a very common treasure, and in the East China Sea, where the Devil Fruit is even rarer, many natives of the East China Sea even think that the Devil Fruit is a legend, and a large part of the civilians with limited knowledge have not even heard of these four words.

In other words, this is a seller's market, and the price of Devil Fruits will rise greatly in the East China Sea, and if the Devil Fruit is auctioned at an auction house owned by the Buendia family, the price will be doubled.

And the special ability of the Devil Fruit can allow a weak person to gain great strength in a very short time, just like Becker's bulletproof car in his previous life, a lot of money is just a number, and the rich man who is very desperate for his life does not mind buying one for himself to eat, in this environment where pirates are rampant, I can't tell when a Devil Fruit will save his life.
