I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"I see that Mr. Luffy has the countenance of an emperor, and he will surely unify the entire Kaspelinyat-VIII in the future!"

Colin started by praising Luffy to the skies, but Luffy didn't seem interested in it at all.

After all, Luffy would leave this place sooner or later, and he really had no interest in unifying Kaspelinyat-VIII.

"Haha, that's right. As a member of the Universal Sphere, if Mr. Luffy wants to connect with the Universal Sphere in the future, he naturally can't bypass the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"Furthermore, even if Mr. Luffy wins this war, restoring Caspellingat-VIII to its former vitality will probably not be a simple matter."

"Just tell me what you want!"

Looking at the company manager pacing back and forth, Ruf interrupted him directly.

"Ore, we need the specialty ore of Kaspelin-VIII. As long as Mr. Ruff can sell the Kaspelin-VIII mine to the company, the company will take care of the rest!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Upon seeing this, Ruf resolutely refused.

Just kidding, this mineral is the only thing Kaspelinyat-VIII has to offer.

The company is now saying they'll provide aid to Kasperingat-VIII.

But once all the minerals have been mined out, see if the company mentions you or not.

"We've only agreed to sell the ore mined by Kaspelin-VIII to the company on a priority basis, but obtaining development rights for the mine is impossible!"

"Mr. Luffy, this puts me in a difficult position!"

Colin looked troubled.

"Which department does Mr. Colin belong to in the company?"

"Market Development Department, what's wrong?"

Colin was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then replied.

"I've heard there's serious infighting between different departments within the company, especially in Mr. Colin's Market Development and Strategic Investment departments. Am I right?"

"Haha, Mr. Luffy's information network is really quite good!"

At this moment, Mr. Colin broke out in a cold sweat.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Since Mr. Colin from the Market Development Department disagrees, then I'll have to consider cooperating with the Strategic Investment Department!"

"Why do you think they'll agree?"

"Since the Strategic Investment Department won't agree, I can sell it to other departments or other forces, such as Xianzhou or a family? Anyway, it won't be the Market Development Department!"

Upon hearing this, Colin's eyes widened in surprise.

Dude, are you kidding me?

But at this point, Colin really didn't have any good ideas.

After all, the Kasperingat-VIII order was a lucrative one, and the market development department had worked hard to secure it.

If I ruin this deal, especially if it ends up in the hands of our old rival, the strategic investment department...

Then my position in the company is probably doomed.

Having finally climbed to this position, Colin didn't want to lose it so easily.

"Oh! Sir, I was just joking. Things from your planet are naturally managed by your planet!"

Colin forced a smile and said through gritted teeth to Luffy.

"But as you know, when a company comes to aid this planet, it's obviously not for nothing!"

"Of course I know that!"

Volume 1: Chapter 21 The User of the String-String Fruit

In the end, Colin left with a helpless expression.

In order to secure this order and keep his position, Colin practically gave up everything he could.

They were even willing to send company personnel to help Luffy fight.

After all, ever since the grain stored at the company's base went missing for unknown reasons last time.

These past two days, the company staff have been going out every day to dig for wild vegetables to eat.

Although we can reapply for material assistance from the company headquarters, it will likely take a long time for the supplies to arrive.

By then, a large number of the company's employees will have starved to death.

Therefore, instead of waiting for the company to provide supplies, it's better to finish things here and leave as soon as possible.

That's why Colin was willing to send people to help Luffy.

If we finish the Kasperinyat-VIII order sooner, we won't have to live a miserable life on this remote planet.

After seeing off the company's head, Ruf laid down on a chair to rest.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"

Luffy wasn't particularly good at things like scheming.

After talking with Colin for so long, Luffy was now feeling completely overwhelmed.

"Thanks for your hard work, Luffy!"

At this moment, the robin came to Luffy's side and gently massaged Luffy's temples with both hands.

A robin's massage is something not everyone can enjoy.

"Speaking of robin, we two will have to leave one day, won't we?"

"Ok!"

The robin nodded slightly in response.

The robin originally planned to leave after the war here ended.

Luffy was in a similar situation.

"In that case, shouldn't we try to cultivate a successor?"

With Luffy and the robin still around, the rebels below haven't made any moves.

But I'm afraid that after Luffy and the robin leave, they'll start another war for the sake of so-called interests.

Therefore, we must find someone to keep them in check!

"You're right!"

The robin nodded in agreement.

The two exchanged a glance, and soon an idea simultaneously appeared in their minds.

Early the next morning, a mournful cry came from a study in the base.

"Why am I suddenly reading these books?!"

Sarah looked at the pile of books in front of her that was almost as tall as her, and a pained expression immediately appeared on her face.

I was wondering what was so interesting about hearing Luffy and the robin calling so early in the morning and coming to my study.

As a result, as soon as Sarah arrived, the robin pulled her to the desk and then took out a whole bunch of books for her to look at.

"Why are you suddenly showing me these things, Ash Blossom Lady?"

Sarah doesn't know a lot of words, although she has no problem writing things in daily life.

But reading a book completely is still quite difficult.

Sarah was particularly annoyed by the fact that these books were printed with densely packed small print.

It looked like it would explode if you looked at it for even a second.

"Your brother Luffy and I have discussed it, and we hope that after we leave, you can take over the management of Kaspelinyat-VIII!"

The robin said to Sarah.

Why are you leaving?

Sarah felt a pang of sadness upon hearing that Robin and Luffy were leaving.

"There's no other way. Luffy and I aren't from Kaspelin-VIII, so we hope that Kaspelin-VIII can be governed by people from Kaspelin-VIII!"

The robin patted Sarah's head and said gently.

"So we hope you can be the one to lead Kaspelinyat-VIII forward!"

"Okay then!"

Although she was a little reluctant, Sarah cheered herself up.

"Then I'll have to work even harder!"

So, under the robin's guidance, Sarah quickly began to learn.

And so, under the robin's guidance, the afternoon soon arrived.

"Alright, that's all for today. Make sure you review what I've covered today!"

"It's finally over~"

Hearing that it was finally over, Sarah couldn't help but show a look of utter exhaustion.

The robin's tale was like gibberish to Sarah, and she had to put in a lot more effort to keep up.

"Then I'll leave things to you, Brother Luffy, and I'll be going now?"

"?"

Sarah was taken aback upon hearing this, as she had thought the day was already over.

Was the only result a change of personnel?

As the robin left, Ruff slowly walked in.

"Brother Luffy, you wouldn't make me read a book I can't understand, would you?"

Sarah asked Luffy with a trembling expression.

Luffy responded with a slight smile.

"How do you know that!"

Hearing Luffy say that there was no need to study made Sarah feel a little relieved.

As long as I don't have to study, that's fine.

"Here, have a piece of fruit first!"

As he spoke, Luffy tossed a strange fruit that looked a bit like a pear to Sarah.

"Wow! Thank you, Brother Luffy!"

After reading for so long, Sarah was now a little thirsty.

Sarah took the pear from Luffy without hesitation and took a bite.

But Sarah regretted it as soon as she took a bite.

A disgusting taste immediately filled Sarah's mouth.

This made Sarah instinctively want to spit out the fruit in her mouth.

"Don't vomit, eat it!"

At that moment, Luffy's voice came.

Considering that Luffy wouldn't lie to her, Sarah forced herself to swallow the fruit in her mouth, suppressing her nausea.

Then, looking at the fruit in his hand that he had only taken a bite of, he mustered up his courage and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.

"Actually, you only need to eat the first bite; you don't need to eat the rest!"
