Angel investor in the One Piece world

Chapter 27 Ace is poisoned

In the days leading up to the launch of Gangli Pills, newspapers were filled with articles about it, and the buzz surrounding it was so great that few people living in Rogge Town hadn't heard of it.

So, in the past few days, similar conversations have been taking place throughout the streets and alleys of Rogge.

"Gorikimaru? Does that stuff even work?"

"What's wrong, John? Do you need anything?"

"What a joke! Don't you know I'm known as John the Cannon? I think you're the one who needs that nickname!"

"Who do you think you are, you bastard? I also have the title of Lighthouse of Loguetown!"

or.

"Who would buy this thing?"

"Someone will eventually buy it, but I definitely won't need it."

"Me too! Anyone who buys this is an idiot!"

"Who says otherwise!"

Then, on the day Gangli Pills were officially launched, almost every pharmacy in Luoge Town was filled with interesting scenes.

"Huh? John? What are you doing here?"

"I...I...I have a bit of a cold, I came to buy some cold medicine! By the way, what are you doing here too?"

"Can't I catch a cold too?"

"Didn't you say whoever buys it is an idiot?"

"Didn't you buy one too?"

"I... I'm just doing this to support Mr. Damian! He's my idol!"

"Who isn't? Of course, I'm Mr. Damian's idol too!"

In any case, one thing is certain: the newly launched Gangliwan is selling extremely well.

"Three pharmacies have already requested restocking."

In the study of Moretti Manor, the old butler reported to Damian with a beaming smile, "In just half a day, young master, you were right! This medicine will achieve a tremendous success that exceeds everyone's expectations!"

I never expected there to be so many patients in Rogge Town.

Damian laughed and said, "Today is just the beginning. It will become even more popular after the first batch of buyers experience the effects of Gangli Pills."

Although he had never personally experienced the effects of Gangliwan, Damian had personally reviewed the reports of every human experiment.

He knew all too well the effects of Gangliwan.

It must be said that this world has a lot of advanced technology, and the effects of Gangliwan are much stronger than Viagra in my previous life.

"Then next time the caravan sets sail..."

The old butler's eyes were full of anticipation. "It's time to bring some new goods!"

Let's not even talk about selling all over the world, let's at least start by distributing our products throughout the East China Sea.

Damian nodded with a smile.

This is indeed a highly profitable business.

The cost of Gangliwan is unbelievably low.

The cost of one Goryokumaru is about seventy Berries. If it is produced on a large scale, the cost can be controlled to about fifty Berries.

Moretti Pharmaceuticals supplies each drug to pharmacies at a price of 1,000 Berries, and the official retail price at pharmacies is an additional 500 Berries.

A profit margin of twenty to thirty times.

This is still in Loguetown. If it were to be sold overseas, shipping costs would also need to be factored in, and the price could easily increase four or five times.

It's a good business.

Damian spun around in his office chair, smiling as he thought, "People in this world are a bit sexually repressed."

That's true. In this chaotic world, the entertainment industry is so lacking. What else can people do at night?

Perhaps we could also try selling condoms?

Forget it, money isn't important.

In this world, power is money, power is authority.

In the central area of ​​Rogge, near the execution square.

There is a pharmacy directly operated by Moretti Pharmaceuticals here.

Although other medications were in short supply, Gangli Pills were plentiful.

This pharmacy is doing very well now that the drug has just been launched.

Johnny crept furtively toward the pharmacy, wearing a baseball cap and a hooded sweatshirt with the brim pulled low, trying his best to conceal his appearance.

There are actually pharmacies in the port area.

But to avoid his loyal underlings, he made a special trip here.

Of course, it's definitely not because he has a problem.

He simply wanted to support President Damian's business!

That person was his great benefactor, and Johnny naturally had to help out in his benefactor's business!

But to his surprise, there were quite a few people buying medicine at the pharmacy.

The queues even stretched out onto the street.

What reassured Johnny was that everyone was dressed in a style similar to his, with a strong emphasis on stealth.

That way, the pressure immediately disappears.

Johnny joined the queue with peace of mind.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when someone tapped him on the shoulder, "What are all these people doing?"

Johnny instinctively turned around.

He was an unfamiliar young man, shirtless, wearing a cowboy hat, and with many freckles on his face.

"Cough cough."

Johnny coughed twice.

Given his usual personality, if anyone dared to disturb him while he was doing important business, he would definitely have already lost his temper.

But for now, it's better to keep a low profile.

He quickly turned around, lowered his voice, and said in a muffled tone, "Just arrived in Rogge Town? Today is the official launch of Gangli Pills."

"Gorikimaru?"

The boy continued, "What is that?"

What is that?

Johnny hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something, a sly look appearing on his face. He said solemnly, "A drug that can make a man invincible!"

"Unrivaled?"

The boy was somewhat skeptical. "Really?"

"Otherwise, why do you think so many people are queuing here?"

Johnny retorted irritably, "After taking the Power Pill, even the Pirate King is no match for you!"

Johnny subconsciously used the most famous man ever to describe Loguetown as an example.

"Even One Piece can't compare?"

The boy's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hey! Ace! What are you doing?"

The boy's companion urged, "Aren't we going to the execution platform?"

"Wait a minute! Scal!"

Young Ace pressed his right hand to his hat, "This seems like a really interesting medicine! They say it can make you surpass the Pirate King!"

"Beyond One Piece? I've never even heard of such a drug."

The man named Skal, the Spade Pirates' intelligence strategist, looked helpless. "You rascal, I just can't do anything with you! Hurry up! You've arranged to meet Bangsi and the others at the execution platform."

Johnny wasn't interested in either of them.

He was just hoping.

Having personally experienced the effects of Gangliwan as a test subject, he knew all too well how great that drug was!

That's a man's dignity!

So, you can postpone paying off your loan, but you must stock up on Gangli Pills!

The group moved forward at a fast pace, and soon it was Johnny's turn.

He pulled out 50,000 Berries and bought three bottles of thirty pills in one go.

His extravagant gesture drew strange looks from the sales clerks, their eyes filled with pity.

snort!

Johnny scoffed inwardly and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a surprised exclamation came from behind: "Sir! This isn't for eating now!"

what?

So depressing?

Johnny instinctively turned around.

Then they saw the freckled boy pick up the First-Class Strength Pill, pour it all into his mouth in one gulp, chew it and swallow it.

The boy wiped his mouth. "So, you're invincible now?"

That's ruthless.

Johnny couldn't help but swallow.

One is already unmatched, ten of them would surely cause a cataclysmic disaster!

The pharmacy fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared blankly at the boy.

"Are you an idiot?"

The boy's companion was nearly driven mad. "At least ask about the effects and dosage before taking it!"

"Sorry, I forgot—"

Ace's expression changed, but the next moment, he clutched his stomach, "Ugh! My stomach feels a little hot!"

His skin visibly turned crimson, large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his breathing became extremely rapid.

"Ace! Hey! What are you doing...?"

Skar suddenly screamed and looked down, intending to see Ace's stomach, but what did he see?

Upside-down mountain?

Johnny nodded almost imperceptibly. This kid doesn't look very strong, but he has the air of a domineering figure!

"Poisoned! Ace, you've been poisoned!"

Mihar screamed, grabbing the pharmacist's shoulder, his voice booming, "What kind of medicine is this! Hand over the antidote!"

Johnny suppressed a laugh.

If you want the antidote, you should look for it in the red-light district.
