Chapter 502

"Nonsense, the Holy Light Group sells Holy Light Shells and Holy Healing Shells. A single Holy Light Shell is worth 1 million Berries. I'm afraid the Navy Hero is the richest person in the world!"

"Bastard, I've been looking for you for a long time. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry and find pirates to trade for wine money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Boss, I'm going right away!"

A few days later, Navy Headquarters, New Marineford.

Kuzan looked at the mountain of withdrawal slips in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"As expected of bounty hunters! Seeing money makes them like mad dogs. If it weren't for your support, the Navy really couldn't afford so many bounties. I heard that now, desperate civilians see pirates and their eyes glow green."

Karl nodded noncommittally. For those at the end of their rope, money is life, and life is money.

Since they are going to die anyway, why not try risking their lives against pirates?

Once successful, it is at least a few million Berries, which is simply a windfall for civilians.

"How should I put it! It's an extra path for civilians, at least when they are at the end of their rope, they can still try to risk their lives against pirates instead of becoming pirates themselves."

Kuzan nodded in agreement and sighed: "Yes! But if you want to persist for a long time, the consumption of Berries is simply an astronomical figure. Can you really cover it?"

Karl waved his hand: "You don't understand. I am expanding domestic demand, understand?"

Kuzan: "What the hell?"

"Let's put it this way: after bounty hunters take down pirates and claim the bounty, what will they do?"

"Uh, spend it."

"Good, now the bounty has increased. Do you think that besides drinking and feasting, they will save some money to improve their firepower?"

"They probably will! If they still want to continue hunting pirates."

Slap!

Karl clapped his hands: "That settles it. They have money in their hands. Do you think they will buy Holy Light Shells to increase the success rate of killing pirates? Or buy a Holy Healing Shell to save their lives?"

Hiss~ Kuzan gasped. He was not stupid. After Karl's hint, he quickly understood everything.

"You mean, the money spent will eventually return to your pocket, it's just a matter of time!"

"Bingo! So, don't worry about me running out of money. On the contrary, my money might even increase. After all, bounty hunters are all equipped with Holy Light Shells, so pirates have to buy some too, otherwise they'd be at such a disadvantage, hahaha!"

Hearing Karl's laughter, Kuzan also laughed along unconsciously, a very black-bellied laugh.

"By the way, you should know the Straw Hat Pirates, right?"

Karl nodded: "I know, what about them?"

Kuzan rested his chin on his hand and said with some confusion: "During the Summit War, only Straw Hat Luffy came. What about his partners? Didn't they come with him?"

"You mean Robin."

"Hm."

Karl waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this. Before, when they were at Sabaody Archipelago, the Straw Hat crew was sent away by Kuma. Now, they should be all over the world! I don't know exactly where, but they should all be alive."

"That's good. By the way, I discussed the Heavenly Tribute with the Five Elders yesterday, but it didn't work out. Can you help me reference it?" ===== CHAPTER 504 =====
