How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 106 How much money can you squeeze out of a poor guy? !

Jasmine showed a look of grief, and with trembling fingers she handed a financial report to Gaza, who took a quick glance and gasped:
"After two attacks in a row, most of our money was used for disaster relief and port reconstruction. Most of it has already been spent."

"If this continues, I'm afraid even the shipyard will be delayed."

"no!"

Gaza frowned:

"At the shipyard, there cannot be any mistakes in Mr. Gawain's plan to enter the Grand Line."

"Hasn't the debt owed to the Goa Kingdom's royal family been settled yet?"

When the Goa Kingdom was mentioned, not only Gaza's face turned pale, but even Jasmine beside him showed an indignant expression.

"There have been too many things happening in the port in the past few months. We have no time to pay attention to the affairs of the Kingdom of Goa."

"But before that, all the people we sent out were driven out by them, and even a few workers were directly detained in prison by them at will."

"It took me a lot of effort just to fish them out."

Jasmine gnashed her teeth and said:
“You expect them to pay you back?”

Gaza sighed and said:

"Let someone try again."

"Miss……"

Jasmine's face fell, but seeing the fatigue on Gaza's face, she immediately changed her words:
"Forget it, I'll ask someone to try again."

Gaza nodded, but deep down, he had no expectations for this.

She had a good idea of ​​what kind of people the royal family of the Kingdom of Goa was like.

Their positions themselves are not right.

After the old king died, the legitimate princes died one after another, and the last one to succeed to the throne was Staley, who had no blood relationship with the royal family.

To say there is nothing fishy about this is just fooling the devil.

But the other party is a member state of the World Government after all, and the involvement is too big, so Gaza is somewhat wary.

After some thinking.

Gaza still had no idea what was going on, so he waved his hand and asked Jasmine to go down and rest early, while he stared at the financial report in his hand in a daze.

It was not until dawn that she suddenly remembered something.

"Martial Arts Conference!"

"Didn't Mr. Gawain plan to hold a fair duel within the pirate group?"

"If we can make this a regular event, and even open it up to all contestants to compete together, it will definitely attract more tourists from all walks of life to come to Raven Harbor."

"Direct ticket revenue is secondary. What's more important is that we can directly revitalize all the surrounding businesses through this method!"

The more you think.

Gaza felt that there was something to be gained from this matter.

She didn't care about her physical fatigue, she just stood up, opened the door, and walked towards Gawain's residence.

……

A few minutes later.

The edge of Raven Harbor.

Gawain, Clo and the other two sat in a booth in a tavern, listening to Gaza talk about his plan and the possible benefits that would be brought about.

Commonly known as drawing cakes.

Gaza was just talking when Clo interrupted him:
"Such a grand plan would naturally require a lot of investment in the early stages, right?!"

Gaza blushed, looked at Gao Wen for help, and said anxiously:
"Mr. Gawain, as long as this is done well, it will be a business that is guaranteed to make money. If Raven Harbor is revitalized in the future, our profits will only increase."

“It can even serve as a business card for Donghai!”

Gao Wen looked at Gaza and said:
"Is Raven Harbor short of money now?"

Gaza was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Gawain could see through his embarrassment at a glance. He could only nod helplessly:
"Two consecutive attacks have almost exhausted all the cash in Raven Harbor, and the debt owed to the Kingdom of Goa has not yet been settled."

"He even put on a deadbeat face."

"If you continue like this, not only will the port not be able to operate normally, but even your shipbuilding plan will be affected." The voice fell.

Gawain suddenly sat up straight, frowning slightly:

"IMHO."

"Your plan takes too long. By the time it actually generates any profit, your funding chain will have already been cut off."

"If the gap is not too big, we can help you fill it temporarily."

Clo sighed and said:

"We need to keep enough funds to build the ship. Besides, you, the captain, also spent a lot of money to accommodate those companions."

"There's not much left now, and there will be more places to spend money later."

Cloe's voice paused as he spoke, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to his mind:
"But it's not impossible, unless we can recover a large amount of funds in a short period of time."

"You want to open an outside betting market?"

Gawain frowned, but Cloe shook his head and turned to smile mysteriously at him:
"Captain, we are now the undisputed overlord of the East China Sea. Not to mention anyone who can compete with you, there is no pirate group that can even compete with me or Ajin."

"Besides."

"How much money do you expect to squeeze out of those poor gamblers?"

"The pattern is open!"

"We want to make a lot of money, rich people's money!"

Gawain tapped the table with his fingertips, making a tapping sound. After just a few breaths, he saw through Clo's plan:
"Are you planning to target the nobles of the Kingdom of the East Sea?"

"What do you mean by surgery? We are doing serious business this time!"

Cloe pushed his glasses up, but the smile on his face became more sinister:

"I'm hosting such a big event, so it's not too much to charge some sponsorship fees, right? It's not too much to let them pay based on their own judgment, right?"

"hiss--!"

Gawain gasped.

This isn't collecting sponsorship fees. This is planning to use the martial arts tournament as an excuse to clean up all the East China Sea nobles from top to bottom.

Not to mention that Kero was able to lurk in Kaya's house for three years, and was even chosen by Oda as the second smartest person in the world.

This bastard really doesn't want to be a human being!
"Is this... not a good idea?"

Gawain rubbed his hands.

Clo glanced at him sideways:
"Why don't you want to, Captain?"

"That's not the case. I'm just worried that I can only harvest one crop of leeks."

"Then let's be gentler the first time."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"Hehehe~"

"Hehehe~"

As for the character of the nobles in the pirate world, all I can say is that those who understand will understand.

Gao Wen felt no burden at all when cutting off the flesh from these people.

Gaza was confused by what he heard, but he realized that Gawain and the others had agreed to his request.

But there was still one thing she didn't understand, so she couldn't help but ask:
"Will they give it to us if we want to sponsor them?"

"of course."

Gawain nodded:
"Because I plan to ask Ajin and Kuro to go with the ship to ask for it. If they don't give it to me, I will change the pirate flag and ask for it again."

"They will understand."

This time.

Gaza understood what Gawain meant, and thinking of the debt owed by the Kingdom of Goa, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Captain, can we start with the Kingdom of Goa?!"

"no problem!"
