The sun is shining on the sea, and today is really a pleasant day.

Moreover, it is said that basking in the sun is more refreshing.

At this time, a "merchant ship" flying the flag of the Monroe Kingdom and the flag of the World Government was sailing on the wide sea.

On the deck of a merchant ship.

An old man, a young man, under the service of the servants, was lying on a chair, lazily basking in the sun.

"Lord Denton, there were a lot of people in the Red Harbor just now, and I was too embarrassed to ask, but now we have been away from the Red Harbor for an hour, and the distance is just right.

Excuse me, Lord Denton, how did you get from going to Dressrosa this time?"

Denton slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the sun in the sky, which was not yet dazzling, and spoke.

"Third Prince, the price of the weapons purchased by the old man this time is a little higher than last time, and the cadres of the Don Quixote family said that the amount of weapons purchased by all parties has been very large recently, resulting in some weapons in short supply.

The old man only bought 1,000 guns and 3,000 weapons this time, which is enough to deal with the upcoming war."

Thinking of the impending senseless war, Chancellor of the Exchequer Denton sighed softly in his heart, even if he won that war, what could he do?

The country's finances can't keep up, and this coming war is really of little use except for adding a strong sum to the resume of the current king.

And next year's heavenly gold has not yet been settled.

Is there another tax hike?

"Alas!"

After sighing softly in his heart, Chancellor of the Exchequer Denton turned his head to look at his third prince and asked.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what has you gained from the Holy Land Mary Joya recently?"

Syllable!

Hearing this, the third prince of the Monroe Kingdom clapped his hands and startled the chancellor lying next to him.

Looking at Prince Monroe with excitement on his face, Denton was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness... Who are you?"

"Denton, let me tell you, this trip to Mary Joy, the prince, has been very rewarding!"

As he spoke, Denton beckoned to the servant behind him and commanded.

"Bring my slaves here."

"Yes!"

Slave??

Looking at the prince with an excited face, the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples, although he had thought about letting the prince disguise himself as a pirate to go to Dressrosa, and stay in Mary Joya to have some secret contacts with those government officials, but the prince swore that he would leave the matter of contact with officials to him, and he would also exercise his communication skills.

Seeing that the prince was so high-spirited, he simply handed over the matter of contacting government officials to him in the spirit of training the prince, and went to Dressrosa to buy weapons from the Don Quixote family.

But looking at the prince's appearance, the Chancellor of the Exchequer always felt that the prince did not take his instructions to heart.

While the Chancellor was pondering, he heard the rattle of chains behind him.

Hearing the voice, the Chancellor of the Exchequer sat up from his chaise longue and turned his head to look back, rubbing his eyes in disbelief when he saw what was behind him.

Then, Chancellor of the Exchequer Denton pointed to the dozen or so slaves behind him, a little shocked and speechless.

….

How much does it cost to buy so many slaves.

The money that the old man handed over to you to make friends with officials bought slaves?

There are even mermaid slaves.

Just as the Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to ask something, he listened to the third prince say proudly.

"On this trip to Mary Joy, only a few insignificant achievements were achieved.

On the first day I went down to the Holy Land, I was warmly received by the government officials, and then that night, the group of officials offered to introduce me to the [World Nobles. 】

But I don't want my breath to pollute the fresh air that the world's aristocracy breathes, Suo

Sex flatly rejected the request of the group of officials.

In the end, the group of officials grabbed my thighs and wanted to let me go down to meet the world nobles, but I resolutely disagreed, but I couldn't resist the bitter pleading of those officials, so I simply communicated with the world nobles in the air..."

The third prince's words shocked the old man a lot, although he didn't understand much, but it didn't prevent him from understanding one of the points.

[The third prince actually had an exchange with the nobles of the world...]

At this time, the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart, his own prince is not an iron waste, and he actually came to the Holy Land to meet the [world nobles. 】

Thinking of this, he looked up at his prince and asked cautiously.

"The Third Prince... How did you communicate with the nobles of the world?"

The third prince glanced at the minister next to him disdainfully and spoke.

"I had a very friendly exchange with the nobles of the world through the matchmaking of government officials, and I prepared a lot of gifts for the nobles of the world.

And those very polite world nobles have also given back to me a lot of slaves, including the wives of world nobles."

"Wife???

Listening to the voice of the old man next to him who suddenly became frightened, the third prince waved his hand disdainfully and continued.

"Wife who was thrown back into the untouchables, the officials of the World Government got me one."

Hear this... The Chancellor of the Exchequer smashed his mouth and smacked his mouth, with a look of emotion.

It's just that after sighing for a while, the Chancellor of the Exchequer seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned his head to look at the third prince, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"All the money spent?"

"Not a penny left."

"A billion Baileys are spent, and the gifts given back by the world's nobles won't all be slaves, right?"

"Well, that's right, the Fish-People, the Furs, the Humans, everything."

Syllable!

Seeing that the fool of his own prince actually nodded affirmatively, the old man couldn't help but slap himself, this idiot became someone else's garbage recycling station... Still so proud.

That group of black-hearted government officials, they actually sold the slaves of the [world nobles] who were tired of playing with them to their own princes at a high price.

I'll just say this idiot doesn't have enough experience...

Rumble!

At this moment, the Chancellor of the Exchequer suddenly felt the merchant ship tremble under his feet, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a huge crack suddenly appear on the deck, and the crack was rapidly spreading to the sides of the hull.

"Prepare for battle, watch out for the bottom of the sea, maybe you've encountered a sea beast."

Hearing the shouts of soldiers beside him, the Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly put a life jacket on his prince and instructed.

….

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

Thinking of this, the Chancellor of the Exchequer suppressed the irritability in his heart, turned his head to look at the guard next to him, and ordered.

"Call the Navy Headquarters and apply for assistance from the Navy Headquarters stationed in Marin Fando in the name of the Monroe Allies."

"Yes!"

After seeing the escort leave, the Chancellor of the Exchequer came to the side of the ship worriedly, and looked down at the sea below.

The sea is calm, it doesn't look like there's any huge sea...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the Chancellor of the Exchequer could continue to observe, he felt the merchant ship tremble under his feet.

"Lord Denton, there are dozens of holes leaking from the bottom of the cabin... I can't make it up..."

"Just jump ship!"

Denton, who decisively gave the order to jump ship, didn't have time to untie the lifeboat, and plunged directly into the sea.

As soon as he emerged from the sea, he saw that the merchant ship he was riding on had suddenly broken in two and was rapidly sinking into the sea.

...

After a brief moment of panic, the Chancellor of the Exchequer glanced in the direction of the wreck, then looked around him and sighed softly.

"Well, did you call the Navy Headquarters?"

"Hit..."

"That's good."

"But it didn't work..."

Well?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at the guard who spoke just now, his eyes were about to pop out, this is also an idiot, how did he come out and bring so many idiots.

"Dan... Cinnabar... Denton, what do we do now?

I heard that under the sea surface of the Great Voyage, there are sea beasts and sea kings everywhere..."

Listening to the trembling voice of his own prince, Denton slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Your Royal Highness, shut your mouth and save some energy, and wait for the rescue of passing merchant ships!"

He didn't want to waste any physical strength on this idiot prince at all now, as long as his physical strength was wasted, his hope of being rescued would be greater.

...

Over time.

Ten minutes passed.

Woo~Woo~Woo~

Denton heard a loud whistle behind him.

This is the sound of a whistle that can only be emitted by warships.

….

Thinking of this, Denton opened his eyes and spread his arms, allowing himself to change from a backstroke position to a standing position.

Sure enough, it was a naval warship.

"Hahaha!"

Denton grinned as he looked at the naval warship heading towards him and the others in the distance, and at this time, he also regained his humble attitude towards the prince.

"Your Royal Highness, we are about to be rescued!"

At this time, the prince was in no mood to pay attention to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he waved his hand frantically towards the warship, hoping that the warship would come over to rescue him and the others quickly.

At this time, the warship also spotted the group of victims floating on the sea, and after turning the direction slightly, the warship slowly sailed towards here.

...

More than ten minutes later, the warship came directly in front of the group and stopped.

Smack!

Denton looked at the soft body that had been lowered from the warship, and his heart was also relieved, and after he climbed onto the warship, he glanced at the prince who collapsed on the deck, and then he thanked the sailors in front of him.

"Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, we just happened to come out on patrol, and then we met you who were shipwrecked."

After the navy finished speaking, he looked at the richly dressed old man in front of him and continued.

"We are the Navy Headquarters, the Navy of the 66th Division of the Chambord Islands.

Our warship is ready to sail back to the Chambord Islands, and we will leave you there when the time comes.

I guess you should have a way to go back, right?"

「

Thanks to the Navy, we have a way to go back!"

With that, the Chancellor of the Exchequer thanked the sailor on the other side again.

Then he looked down at the cargo that had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and sighed softly in his heart.

[Let's survive first.] 】

...

"Whew!"

The prince, who was lying on the deck, breathed deeply, he finally came back to life, the great voyage was too dangerous, and there was a danger of shipwreck on such a calm sea.

Lao Tzu will never come again next time.

Thinking of this, the prince sat up from the deck, and then he looked up at the group of guards who were also sitting on the deck, and commanded.

"Those who stick to Huhu on the lower body are uncomfortable to death, call my slaves over, I want to change my clothes..."

Bang!

Wheels, wheels, wheels...

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denton, glanced at the prince, who had been kicked by himself and rolled out of the deck for a long time, and he turned his head to look at the group of sailors around him, and apologized.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have drunk too much seawater... Drink too much..."

So saying, he hurried to the prince, gagged him, and admonished.

"Your Royal Highness, the slave trade is illegal... The legal slave trade existed only in the Chambord Islands and in the Holy Land of Mary Joy... Everywhere else the slave trade was illegal...

Don't mention this in front of the navy, some of them are fighting slave traders more in the open sea than they are fighting pirates.

In case the desire arises in their hearts to drown us people..."

As he spoke, the Chancellor of the Exchequer shook his head at his idiot prince.

He didn't want to drown yet.

...

Meanwhile.

Beneath the surface of the sea.

A group of fishmen were sitting at the bottom of the sea, staring at the pile of goods in front of them in a daze.

….

"Boss Jinping... Are we getting rich?"

"yes!

Jinping checked the Devil Fruit in his hand, and then he looked at the large pile of trapped goods in front of him, and was a little speechless for a while, the last time he made such a big windfall, it seems that it was more than ten years ago.

Thinking of this, Jinping let his companions drag the goods forward, and he took out the phone bug in the [Special Bubble] from his arms and called Asuka.

Purr, no, no...

Pacha...

"Young, very flat... Is it over?"

"Well, it's over."

"Then why are you calling me?"

Hearing this, Jinping looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand and asked.

"What was the distribution plan we discussed?"

"The weapons on the ship are ninety-one points, and the rest of the items are all yours, even if you find the Devil Fruit is yours, but you can sell the Devil Fruit to the main department.

According to the quality of the fruit, the department will convert it into Bailey for you, and the minimum is 100 million.

It can also be converted into what you need on Fish-Man Island.

Oh, by the way, I've been collecting ancient Devil Fruits of animal origin here recently... No matter how much he Kaiduo bids, the headquarters will always be one percent higher than him."

"Hmm!"

Jinping nodded slightly, hung up the phone in his hand, and then he looked at the devil fruit in his hand again.

[I haven't been to Whitebeard's father for a long time, and when I'm done with this time, I'll go over to visit. 】
