While life has improved since then, all kinds of good news have also followed.

First of all, when the news of Xia Nuo becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas came, Kairal was shocked, but he couldn't help but feel sincerely proud and relieved about it, and he pulled his friends in the dock on the spot and had a drink. A few days later, he overheard from the bar that the Swamp Fruit would appear as the finale at Gilyin's auction.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a small sensation in the Chambord Islands, and Cairal, who could still sit still, did not want to see his captain's relics fall into the hands of outsiders, and immediately began to desperately prepare for the funds needed for the auction.

However, after all, it has only been less than a year since it stabilized, and his financial resources alone are very limited, even if he adds the righteous efforts of his friends, the total is only seventy or eighty million Baileys, and the average black market price of Devil Fruits has to start with hundreds of millions of Baileys, and the swamp fruit belongs to the natural system, which is even worse in comparison.

"Then you're still at the auction house?" Biki glared at him and muttered, "If you don't have money, you dare to join in the fun and shout, if you really take it off, you won't be beaten half to death by the auction house on the spot?" ”

"Then don't worry." Kellard lit a cigarette, took a puff and smiled, took a money bag from his waist and placed it on the table in front of him, "I got the money in the end." ”

As soon as the hand was released, the mouth of the bag was opened, revealing the white banknotes inside, judging from the denomination value, such a money bag also had at least three or four hundred million Baileys in it.

Everyone was suddenly shocked, and Biqi was also stunned, raised her head and couldn't help asking:

"Where did you get all this money?"

"These are all given by Lao Lei." Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little dazed, Kellar added, "Ah, that's what I just mentioned, the old coater who guided me into the industry after I rescued him. ”

"Is that him?" Everyone was even more surprised, Kidd snorted, and said with some disbelief, "Really, a coater can have so much money?" Then how could he have been beaten by the people at the bar before because he couldn't pay for the drink? ”

"I'm weird about that, too." Kairal dusted off his cigarette ash and frowned slightly, "Although Lao Lei is much easier to take orders than us because of his early entry into the industry, I think he will use it to buy wine as soon as he has money, and it stands to reason that he can't take out so much money at all." ”

However, his brows quickly relaxed, and he waved his hand indifferently, "Hey, I can't figure it out, anyway, these are my business, maybe it's his secret savings that he is reluctant to use on weekdays, anyway, he has helped me a lot, and now that I can't use it, I'll go and return the money to him later." ”

As he spoke, Kairal picked up the money bag on the table and tightened it tightly, and withdrew it from his waist, and Xia Nuo, who was thinking about it on the side, also came back to his senses at this moment, gestured to Kira next to him with his eyes, and nodded slightly.

The latter immediately understood, and hurriedly took out a delicate black wooden box from the bag behind him, pushed it in front of Kailar and slowly opened it.

On the milky velvet, the dark green swamp fruit lies quietly.

Seeing this familiar fruit, Kairal was stunned at first, and then looked up to see Xia Nuo, who smiled slightly at him, and immediately understood what he meant, "You...... Are you going to give me this fruit? ”

"Of course, uncle." Xia Nuo half-leaned back in his chair, took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "This is the only relic of Uncle Tado, you spent so much effort for him before, I helped take a picture of it, I just want to give it to you." ”

"That's not going to work!"

Kailar refused directly without thinking about it: "The reason why I am desperately raising money is that I don't want to see this fruit fall into the hands of outsiders, and you are not an outsider, since you spent money, then of course this fruit is yours." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember some past events, looking at Xia Nuo, who was already taller than himself, and said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, Xia Nuo, when you were first offered a bounty, you were mistaken by the Navy for being a crew member of our Tado Pirates, right?" At that time, you were not as tall as my chest, and it has only been a few years, and you have become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, and time flies really fast......"

"It's really fast......"

Referring to that time, Xia Nuo also had some nostalgia, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he pushed the black wooden box in front of Kailar, and said with a slight smile: "But Uncle Kailar, you have said it yourself, I am now the king of the Seven Martial Seas, and I can gain a firm foothold in the sea with swordsmanship alone, this fruit is of little use to me, so it is better for you to accept it." ”

"I'm in my fifties and sixties, and it's even more wasteful to use it." Kairal's attitude was still very firm, and he shook his head decisively and refused again, "Anyway, I will definitely not swallow it, this fruit is only commemorative for me after all, it is better to play a role in your hands, even if you can't use it yourself, you can use it to improve the strength of the rest of your companions on the ship." ”

"But ......"

"Don't talk about that."

As soon as Xia Nuo wanted to persuade something more, he was diverted by Kailar: "Speaking of which, you arrived in the Chambord Islands this time to coat the ship and go to the New World, right?" ”

"Yes." Xia Nuo nodded slightly, and Kidd next to him grinned and interjected, "Of course, uncle, we have been looking for a coater before, if we hadn't happened to meet you, we might have left here and gone deep into the sea!" ”

"Isn't that just right?" Kairal snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and laughed: "Don't forget, I'm a coater now, if you can trust my craft, take me to your ship now, it's absolutely free, no penny, and it can save you time, how good!" ”

Yes! Everyone came to their senses, and they were all engrossed in listening to the story before, and they actually forgot that the Kairal in front of them was not the coater they were looking for!

Xia Nuo had already had this idea, but he never mentioned it because there were more important topics to talk about, and now seeing that Kelal refused so decisively, he could only sigh slightly in his heart, and asked Kira to put away the swamp fruit on the table.

"Shall you leave now?" Glancing at the pile of empty wine bottles that had been drunk on the table, Kidd said with some curiosity, "Doesn't there be any preparation?" ”

"Of course!" Kairal stood up heartily and said with a smile, "But I still need some tools and materials, I'll go back to the dockyard to get them now, you can come with me, there are not many roads, at most it will only be ten minutes." ”

"No problem."

Xia no also stood up, he remembered the old Ray mentioned in the experience that Kailar said before, and felt that some of his previous guesses were estimated to be eight or nine, and this time with the past, there was a good chance to meet that incredible legend.
