Chapter 7: Short Of Money? Here Comes The Money Delivery!
After Al and Robin finished washing up, they left the hotel.
The Kingdom of Oikot is a small, unknown member of East Blue.
Al only has a little memory of this country.
Nami is a war orphan rescued and adopted by Bell-mère from this country.
Other than that, there is no special place in this country that Al can remember.
"Robin, this place is not far from the Kingdom of Goa and the more famous Orange Town in East Blue, right?"
As a person who has fled on the sea for eleven years, although Robin is not a navigator, he is still familiar with the various island countries around.
At least much better than Al who has just been at sea for a month.
Robin came to East Blue a few years ago, and she does know about Al's problem.
"The Kingdom of Goa is quite far from here, hundreds of nautical miles away."
"That Orange Town, you are talking about the place that was occupied by the fishman Arlong a few years ago and has now become a dragon paradise, right?"
"When I first came to East Blue, I passed by there once, and the oranges are really good."
"But unfortunately it is now the territory of pirates."
"As for the distance, it is not very far. It is only about 80 nautical miles away from here to the southeast."
Robin asked curiously: "What's wrong, my captain?"
"Are we going to the Kingdom of Goa and Orange Town?"
Al shook his head.
He asked this question because he wanted to confirm his location and how far it was from the main geographical location in the original book.
In this way, after going out to sea, he can roughly follow a similar route to reach the Grand Line.
"Captain, speaking of which, although I call you captain, do we really have a ship?"
Al shook his head a little embarrassedly.
After selling his property, he went to sea by merchant ship or simply swam by himself.
After all, he has the blood of the fishman tribe, and the speed of traveling underwater is much faster than walking on land.
There wasn't much money from selling the property.
In this world, houses are not worth much, and Al only sold the house and furniture for about 100,000 Baileys.
It was enough for normal expenses for the time being, but it was far from enough to buy a boat.
"Well... As for a small sampan, the money I have is barely enough to buy one..."
Robin looked at Al's slightly embarrassed look and smiled:
"I still have more than 300,000 Baileys here. There are boats for sale not far from here."
"More than 300,000 Baileys can probably buy a slightly better sampan."
Robin took out a bearer certificate of a bank deposit from his position and handed it to Al. (There are banks in the world of One Piece)
Al didn't take it, but turned his head to look not far away.
"It seems that your money is not needed."
"The money is coming!"
Looking at the more than 20 gang members in black clothes not far away, Robin frowned slightly.
"Captain Al, these people are members of the gang I was in before."
"They are indeed quite rich, and the boss Odron has a lot of gray income."
"However, Odron has two people under his command who are more difficult to deal with."
"One is August, a swordsman with the ability to cut through iron, and the other is Morant, a sniper who has the ability of the Stare-Stare Fruit."
"August is said to have learned swordsmanship in the East Blue Shimotsuki Village, and is Odron's younger brother."
"Morant was hired by Odron at a high price."
"Odron himself has certain strength."
"When I was hiding my identity in this gang to make a living, I basically found out all the information."
"I also know where their money is."
"It's basically bearer certificates of bank deposits, as well as some gold and silver treasures."
"How about it, Captain." Robin's face was filled with smiles, "I am very useful, right?"
Robin talked about the information of the Odron family like the back of his hand.
Seeing Robin's smile that seemed to be asking for credit, Al couldn't help but say:
"Robin is really worthy of it. This information is too crucial."
Robin was very happy to receive Al's praise.
While the two were talking, more than 20 brothers of the Odron family surrounded them.
" Nico Robin, we finally found you!"
"Follow us, or you will suffer!"
"Don't try to escape this time!"
Robin glanced at Al, who was ready to get money to buy a boat, and said:
"I'll go with you. Take me to see Odron."
"It just so happens that I have something important to ask him."
Several arrogant gang members choked. They obviously didn't expect Robin to not resist.
But they didn't say much. It would be great if they could complete the boss's task without injury and receive the reward.
Al and Robin stood side by side, grinning.
Those gang members who were scared away yesterday obviously didn't see who the person was.
They were just scared away by the miserable situation of Leoka and others.
At the same time, in the Odron family, the eldest brother Odron was chatting with several Marines from the Marine branch.
"Odron, you didn't lie to me?"
"Nico Robin, the son of the devil with a bounty of 79 million?"
"She is a vicious person with a bounty from the World government!"
"If you catch her and hand her over to the World government, you can deduct one-third of the Heavenly Gold!"
"Why is she in East Blue?"
The mouse major of the branch said in disbelief.
"It must be Nico Robin!"
"I have sent people to catch Nico Robin, and I will hand her over to your branch."
"In return, you have to help me control at least 20 towns!"
"Deduct one-third of the Heavenly Gold, this is an astronomical amount of money!"
The mouse major was extremely tempted.
In addition to money, he wanted to take the credit for capturing Nico Robin alone.
Such a credit is enough to make him rise to the top in one step, and it is possible to go directly from a branch major to a colonel in the department.
"Don't worry, as long as you really catch Nico Robin, it's only 20 towns, no problem!"
"But for safety reasons, I won't show up, and the 20 Marines I brought will fight with you."
"After catching him, you hand Nico Robin over to me in person!"
Oderon nodded in agreement.
"Boss, we brought Nico Robin back!"
Al unfolded the Observation Haki, covering the Oderon family, grinning.
