People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 278 Performance
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

Looking at the coin that Sauron took out from his pocket, the group of people stood there awkwardly.

Nami hurriedly explained: "It must have been when you bumped into each other that your things accidentally fell into Zoro's... uh, pocket."

"Accidentally." Tang Sen sneered angrily: "In this way, I misunderstood you, and that is really a coincidence!"

"That's right hahahahaha!" Luffy laughed and said, "Just explain the misunderstanding clearly, Sauron would not do such a thing!"

"The explanation is clear!" Usopp roared beside him, "I don't seem to believe it at all, okay?"

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

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

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

He raised his hand to pick up the coin, but suddenly he fell limply to the ground.

"Luffy!"

The group of people were startled and glared at Tang Sen immediately. Zoro grabbed the handle of the knife again: "Bastard! What did you do to Luffy!"

"Heh, pirate." Tang Sen snorted.

Luffy got up from the ground and yelled strangely: "It's so strange, I suddenly felt no strength at all just now, as if I fell into the sea."

"You guys are devil fruit users, right? Hailoushi is the natural enemy of those with abilities!" Tang Sen said disdainfully:

"Just like touching the sea, once the capable person touches the sea tower stone, he will become weak and lose his ability."

"There is such a thing?"

Luffy and his team have just come to the Great Route from the East China Sea. The only time they came into contact with the Sea Tower Stone was the piece that Smoker inlaid on the top of the ten hands. Inside the cage, they learned of the existence of Hailoushi.

"It's amazing!" Luffy leaned over again, and stretched out his hand towards the coin again in disbelief.

Nami snatched the coin in an instant, and slapped Luffy on the head violently: "Now is not the time to play around!"

She raised her hand, picked up the coin and handed it to Tang Sen, saying, "Since it's yours, I'll give it back to you. We still have important things to do, so don't follow me anymore."

"Who wants to follow you pirates, I have important things to do!" Tang Sen stretched out his hand angrily, "But you guys look different from ordinary pirates."

"If ordinary pirates know that this is Hailou Stone, they will not give it back to me so easily."

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

Nami froze in place.

"Tens of millions of Baileys?" She reflexively squeezed the coin to death.

"Huh?" Tang Sen frowned slightly, took some effort to snatch the coin from the other party's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You people don't understand anything at all? There are not many Hailou stones used in this coin." , the same volume can be sold for at most 100 million Baileys, and the most precious thing is the process of processing it into coins!"

He raised his chin and spoke proudly: "Aside from the scientific research institutes of the world government, only I can process Hailou Stone so meticulously, directly increasing its value by dozens of times!"

"So that's it!" Lu Fei clapped his hands together: "Now that the misunderstanding is over, let's go back to the boat, I'm hungry again."

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

She ignored Lu Fei and stared at Tang Sen with bright eyes, as if staring at a golden mountain.

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

"It's too simple." Tang Sen snorted: "I don't care about money at all—"

He paused and waved his hand: "Forget it, what time am I wasting with you pirates, since I have recovered the coins, I have to leave here quickly."

Seeing Tang Sen turn and leave, Nami became anxious and shouted, "Wait—wait!"

"Didn't you say that there are important things to do? Maybe there is something we can help you with!"

She patted Lu Fei's shoulder vigorously, and said: "This is our captain, don't look at him like this, he is actually very strong!"

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

"I don't want to join forces with pirates." Tang Sen kept walking, and sneered: "And, it's up to you?"

"You guys, I'm afraid that when you hear who I'm going to deal with, you'll be scared to death."

"Huh?!" Veins popped out of Sauron's forehead, "Don't underestimate us, kid!"

"Our captain is a big pirate with a reward of 3000 million Baileys!" Usopp also patted his chest, showing off at the right time: "In addition to the great Lord Usopp, in this sea area, he hasn't been able to scare us yet." people!"

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

"A captain in a straw hat who looks like he's just grown up."

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

"A swordsman with no IQ at first glance."

Sauron's face darkened, and he couldn't suppress his anger.

"Curly-browed smoker."

"Long nose."

"reindeer."

"A fragile woman."

"Even a .duck?"

He showed disdain: "Are you here to be funny?"

"The person I'm going to deal with is one of the Qiwuhai, who is naturally a devil fruit capable person."

"Sand crocodile, Crocodile!"

The anger of the Straw Hats, which was almost irrepressible because of Tang Sen's comments, stopped abruptly, and they all froze in place.

"Eh?!!!!"

"so--"

Sitting cross-legged on the deck of the Meili, Tang Sen looked at Weiwei with a look of sudden realization: "You are the princess of this country, and because you discovered the secret of Crocodile, you hired these pirates to escort you all the way back to Ala. Bastan, want to stop Crocodile's conspiracy?"

"I said it's not an employment!" Luffy shouted, "Weiwei is our partner!"

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

Townsend didn't have a good attitude towards Luffy and the others. He ignored Luffy and said to Weiwei with a straight face: "After I came to Alabasta, I found that everyone seemed to respect Crocodile. Something is wrong."

"How could someone like Crocodile change his past and become a so-called hero?"

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

Tang Sen was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't agree with your plan. Doing so will not only fail to end everything, but will also make the situation worse."

"I know too well how powerful Crocodile is. Even if everyone in Alabasta sees his true colors, they can't stop him. If Crocodile becomes angry, he may directly destroy the entire kingdom."

"Just like—what he did to my hometown!"

Having said that, Tang Sen showed an extremely sad expression.
