Chapter 438: Welcome Gift
"Correct. The raw material for Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials is the Light Dial."
"But in this world, only Karl can turn them into Healing Dials and Holy Light Dials, so this can be considered a monopoly business."
Luo Bin felt some emotion. She had heard of the fame of Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials long ago. Although she had never investigated them carefully, anyone with eyes could see how much profit this thing could bring.
However, according to the information she had, the source of this stuff seemed to come from the Revolutionary Army, and she had never heard of Amazon Lily or anything like that.
Now it seemed that the Revolutionary Army was just an agent for the Holy Light Dials; the true master was the woman in front of her.
It was no wonder she was so generous; in her eyes, this little bit of money really didn't count for much.
Nami didn't think that much. Recalling the time when Mr. Karl instantly removed her tattoo when she was a child, Nami probably understood the manufacturing principle of the Holy Light Dials.
But understanding it was useless, because in this world, only Mr. Karl had such an ability.
"It seems you are both very interested in Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials! How about this: there are two hours until the lunch banquet. While we have time, how about I take you for a tour?"
"Yes, please!"
Hancock looked at Karl, her mouth curling up slightly: "My dear, what do you think?"
"I have no objection. I can also make a batch of Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials while I'm at it."
Amazon Lily Royal Warehouse.
"Wow! Are there this many Light Dials?"
"That's for sure. A long time ago, I required the shell farmers on Angel Island to cultivate Light Dials at full capacity, so every once in a while, Light Dials are sent over."
Luo Bin rested her chin on her hand, examining the Light Dials in the warehouse, and said silently: "It's just that compared to the huge demand, this output is far from enough, which is why the prices of Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials have remained high."
Karl laughed: "As expected of you, Luo Bin. You've hit the nail on the head, but this is also the result of my intentional control."
"This kind of thing itself has a certain scarcity and uniqueness. It's impossible to let it become common; otherwise, how would its function be reflected?"
Luo Bin shook her head helplessly. This was a capitalist through and through!
"Then, Mr. Karl, how many Berries do you earn in a year?"
Karl smiled mysteriously: "That can't be detailed. In any case, it's in the tens of billions."
Nami clutched her heart and was speechless for a long time! Tens of billions—that was money she couldn't earn in several lifetimes!
"My dear." Hancock pointed to the Light Dials in front, the general meaning being for Karl to start working.
There was no help for it. Today, Hancock seemed a bit different from before, but Karl couldn't say exactly how she was different. After all, Hancock's attitude in front of him and in front of others couldn't be treated the same way.
After a crisp snap of his fingers, a dazzling golden halo appeared on Karl, illuminating the entire warehouse as if it were broad daylight.
Ten minutes later.
The Light Dials around Karl had already been converted into Holy Light Dials. Next were the Healing Dials.
To reflect the difference between Healing Dials and Holy Light Dials, the shells used for Healing Dials were all the large, high-quality ones; otherwise, how could they be sold for ten times the price of Holy Light Dials?
This time, it wasn't golden holy light, but a pure white radiance. About ten minutes later, the Healing Dials were also finished.
The ratio of Healing Dials to Holy Light Dials was about one to ten.
"OK, done!"
Karl clapped his hands, picked up a few Holy Light Dials and Healing Dials, and walked toward Nami and Luo Bin.
"Here, Hancock has already given you gifts, so I have to show something as well."
"No, Mr. Karl, this is too precious. A Healing Dial can sell for 15 million Berries on the black market!"
Karl stuffed the Healing Dials and Holy Light Dials into Nami's hands without allowing for refusal: "Do I look like I'm short on money? Besides, it's not easy to come here; how can you leave without taking some local specialties?"
"And you are pirates; you will inevitably fight other pirates or be hunted by the Navy. You will use them one day."
Nami thought that made sense, but she still smiled embarrassedly: "Then thank you, Mr. Karl. Uh, will you hunt us down in the future?"
Karl rubbed his chin: "Well, that's not impossible. But don't worry, I definitely won't make things difficult for you and Luo Bin. But the others will definitely get a beating; otherwise, I won't be able to report back, right?"
"Ah? Is that so? Why? You've met us several times already and didn't make a move. Why will you in the future..."
Karl smiled faintly: "Things are unpredictable. Right now, the Straw Hat pirate crew is just a small-fry level pirate crew, so naturally, it's not my turn to clean them up. But with Luffy and Zoro, you will eventually become strong."
"By then, the Navy will naturally spend the effort to deal with you. By then, it won't be strange for an Admiral or me to hunt you down."
"Besides, from the day you became pirates, you should have prepared yourself mentally for this. You can't expect all Navy officers to turn a blind eye to you like I do, right?" ===== CHAPTER 440 =====
