"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"

Looking at the coin that Sauron had pulled out of his pocket, the group stood in place.

Nami hurriedly explained, "It must have been when you bumped into each other that your things accidentally fell on Zoro's. Uh, in the pocket. ”

"Accidentally." Tang Sen sneered angrily: "In this way, I still misunderstood you, that's really a coincidence!" ”

"Yes, hahahahahaha!" Luffy laughed and said, "It's good to explain the misunderstanding, Zoro won't do this kind of thing!" ”

"Explain it clearly, what a fart!" Usopp roared beside him, "People don't seem to believe it at all, okay! ”

"What do you think I am! No matter how depressed I am, I won't steal money! Zoro blushed and glanced at the coin in his hand: "And it's a stone coin that can't be spent!" ”

"Stone coins?" Tang Sen said angrily: "This is a coin made of Hailou stone!" ”

"What is Hailou Stone?" Luffy leaned over curiously, "It's not Bailey, I can't understand the words written on it at all." ”

He raised his hand to pick up the coin, but suddenly fell to the ground with a limp.

"Luffy!"

The group was startled and immediately glared at Tang Sen, and Zoro held the hilt of the knife again: "Bastard! What did you do to Luffy! ”

"Heh, pirates." Townsend scoffed.

Luffy got up from the ground and exclaimed, "It's so strange, just now I suddenly felt like I had no strength at all, like I fell into the ocean." ”

"You're a Devil Fruit powerhouse, aren't you? Hailou Stone is the natural enemy of the capable! Townsend said disdainfully:

"It's like touching the sea, once the capable person comes into contact with the Hailou Stone, he will be weak and lose his ability."

"And this kind of thing?"

Luffy and his gang had just come to the Great Voyage from the East China Sea, and the only time they came into contact with the Hailou Stone was the one that Smoker had embedded on the top of the Ten Hands, and in the original book, they didn't learn of the existence of the Hailou Stone until they were locked in a cage doped with Hailou Stone.

"It's amazing!" Luffy leaned over again, and the unbelieving reached out to the coin again.

Nami snatched the coin in an instant, and slammed it on Luffy's head with a violent shudder: "Now is not the time to joke!" ”

She raised her hand, pinched the coin and handed it to Tang Sen, and said, "Since it's your thing, then return it to you, we still have important things, don't follow me anymore." ”

"Whoever wants to follow you pirates, I have important things to do!" Tang Sen angrily reached out to pick it up: "But you guys don't look like ordinary pirates. ”

"If an ordinary pirate knew that this was a sea building stone, he wouldn't return it to me so easily."

"After all, this coin is worth at least tens of millions of Baileys."

Nami's movements froze in place.

"Tens of millions of Baileys?" She reflexively pinched the coin.

"Huh?" Tang Sen frowned slightly, and it took some effort to snatch the coin from the other party's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you group of people understand anything?" There are indeed not many Hailou stones used in this coin, and the most sold for the same volume is one million Baileys, and what is precious is the process of processing it into coins! ”

He raised his chin and said in a proud tone: "In addition to the scientific research institutions of the world government, only I can process Hailou Stone so meticulously, so that its value can be directly increased dozens of times!" ”

"I see!" Luffy clapped his hands: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's go back to the boat, I'm starting to get hungry again." ”

The man apparently didn't understand at all, but Nami did.

She ignored Luffy and stared at Tang Sen with her eyes shining, as if she were staring at a mountain of gold.

"That is to say, if you want to make money, you can get dozens of times the windfall profit at any time?"

"It's too easy." Tang Sen scoffed: "Money or something, I don't care at all-"

He paused for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, what time have I wasted with you pirates, now that the coins have been recovered, I have to get out of here quickly." ”

Seeing Townsend turn to leave, Nami suddenly became anxious and shouted, "Wait—wait!" ”

"Didn't you say there was something important to do? Maybe we have a place where we can help! ”

She patted Luffy on the shoulder vigorously and said, "This is our captain, don't look at him like this, in fact, he is very strong!" ”

"You only need to pay a small hiring fee—"

"I don't want to be in the league with pirates." Tang Sen didn't stop and sneered: "And, it's up to you?" ”

"You guys, I'm afraid you'll be scared when you hear who the person I'm dealing with is."

"Huh?!" Sauron suddenly had a bruise on his forehead: "Don't underestimate us, boy! ”

"Our captain is a sea thief with a bounty of 30 million Bailey!" Usopp also patted his chest and showed off at the right time: "Plus the great Lord Usopp, in this sea area, there is no one who can scare us!" ”

"Really?" Tang Sen paused, turned his head, and looked at everyone one by one.

"A captain in a straw hat who looks like he's just coming of age."

Luffy showed two rows of white teeth and waved his hand happily.

"A swordsman who doesn't have much intelligence at first glance."

Zoro's face sank, and he began to lose control of his anger.

"Smoker with curled eyebrows."

"Long nose."

"Reindeer."

"A woman who can't help but be weak."

"There's even one. Duck? ”

He looked disdainful: "Are you here to be funny?" ”

"The person I want to deal with is one of the Seven Martial Seas, a person who is naturally a Devil Fruit powerhouse."

"Sand crocodile, Klockdahl!"

The Straw Hats' anger, which was about to be irrepressible because of Tang Sen's comments, came to an abrupt end, and they all froze in place.

"?!!!!"

"So—"

Tang Sen sat cross-legged on the deck of the Merry, looked at Vivi, and showed a look of sudden realization: "You are the princess of this country, because you discovered the secret of Klockdahl, so you hired this group of pirates to escort you all the way back to Alabastan, wanting to stop Klockdahl's conspiracy?" ”

"It's all said it's not a hire!" Luffy shouted, "Vivi is our partner!" ”

"It's not a good thing to be a pirate partner."

Tang Sen didn't have a good attitude towards Luffy, he ignored Luffy, and said to Vivi with a straight face: "After I came to Alabastan, I found that everyone seemed to respect Klockdahl, and I felt that something was wrong at the time. ”

"How can a person like Klockdahl change his past and become a so-called hero?"

"Everyone has been deceived by him." Wei Wei gritted her teeth: "That's why I need to hurry up to Juba, tell everyone the truth, and end this civil war that has been maliciously manipulated." ”

Tang Sen was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't approve of your plan, doing so will not only not end everything, but will also make the situation worse." ”

"I know too well how powerful Klockdahl is, even if the people of the whole of Alabastan see his true colors, they can't stop him, and if Klockdahl gets angry, he may directly destroy the entire kingdom."

"It's like — what he did to my hometown!"

Speaking of this, Tang Sen showed an extremely sad look.
