I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"I said, Goldstone, Lady Jade told me to stay, so why are you still here? (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)"

Toppa was clearly displeased that Alluvial Gold had interfered in his conversation with Jade.

Don't say that! We're all friends. I just stayed to keep you company because I was worried you'd be nervous!

A slightly frivolous male voice slowly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Toppa in front of the screen rolled his eyes at Sand Gold on the screen.

"I haven't settled the score with you yet for what happened at the Apsheron stock market. I lost a lot of money because I listened to you!"

Um, that was an accident, and I still lost a lot of money, didn't I?

When the topic came up, Sand Gold's tone became slightly embarrassed.

In fact, the losses from placer gold were even greater than those from topaz.

If it weren't for the fact that the investment was in the stock market, there would be an extra layer of suspicion surrounding the gold mine.

If he had gone all in as usual, he probably would have lost everything by now.

Everything, or nothing!

Even so, the gold mining operation still resulted in a huge loss of money.

Alright, you two, stop arguing here.

As the elegant female voice rang out again, the two, who had been at odds, immediately stopped arguing.

"Ms. Emerald, is there something you need from me?"

After ending her argument with Sandalwood, Toppa also asked Jade why she had stayed behind.

I hope there haven't been any problems with my work lately.

Looking back on her work over the past period, Topa believed that she had done nothing wrong, so Ms. Emerald must not have come to question her.

"Don't worry, Yelena, I just have a task for you!"

Perhaps because it was a private conversation, Jade's tone was more casual.

They also directly addressed Topa by his real name.

"Work?"

Upon hearing that it was Emerald who had assigned him the task, Toppa sat up straight, intending to hear what Emerald had to say.

Here's the thing: Recently, the company intercepted a communication from a planet that had long been confirmed to be devoid of life. The message read, "Hey, company dogs, I'm here, come and get me!"

Upon hearing this, Toppa raised an eyebrow.

Whose subordinate is this, that he is so brave!

Can you confirm who posted this?

Upon hearing the contents of the information, even Sand Gold, who had only come to watch the show, revealed a hint of amusement.

[It's been confirmed. The other party doesn't seem to be trying to hide anything. Based on the information, they should be a Masked Fool!]

[The Masked Fool, could this just be a prank? Let's ignore it!]

Everyone in the universe knows that group of fun-loving people.

The company has received messages from those frivolous people before, but we've generally ignored them.

Even so, that group of people who enjoyed themselves still sent spam text messages to the company every now and then.

[We did consider the possibility of a prank, but we actually received other signals from that planet that had long been confirmed to be lifeless, suggesting that there are still signs of human life on that planet!]

The fact that people could still survive on a planet that had been confirmed to be lifeless piqued Toppa's interest.

However, Toppa also knew that Emerald was not telling her all this so that she would send some aid to the planet.

They're a company, not some pure and beautiful knightly order!

"Then, Lady Emerald, what is my task?"

Here's the thing: we discovered that that planet borrowed a large sum of money from the company five hundred years ago and hasn't repaid it yet. Including interest, it's a huge amount!

Upon hearing this, Toppa understood his mission.

"Understood. I'll set off for that planet in the next couple of days."

Good luck to our Director Toppa, and may you not fail!

Sand Gold said with a 'concerned' look.

"Hmph, my project's success rate should be several percentage points higher than someone else's, right?"

[The projects I handled were significantly more difficult than those handled by Director Toppa; Director Toppa, please don't forget that!]

Seeing the two start arguing again, Jade in the video couldn't help but sigh.

Alright, this mission is now yours. Good luck with your return!

"Yes, Ms. Jade!"

Hearing Jade's encouragement, Toppa was now full of confidence.

By the way, the planet you're going to this time is called Yalilo VI!

Volume 1: Chapter 108 Belloberg's Debt Problem!

A beautiful day begins in the morning.

In the morning, Cocolia, having rested well all night, got up from her bed in Cripperburg.

Although she worked late last night, Cocolia still felt refreshed when she woke up.

Cocolia has had a very comfortable time these past two days.

Those three pirates from outer space didn't cause any trouble, and they also broke free from the control of the star core.

Now that Cocolia has regained her senses, she has corrected all the wrong decisions she made due to the influence of the Star Core.

It's fair to say that under Cocolia's leadership, Belloberg is thriving!

As usual, Cocolia sat down at the Great Guardian's desk and processed documents as usual.

Ah!

How wonderful it would be if these peaceful days could continue forever!

Just then, a member of the Silvermane Iron Guard suddenly burst into the office to report.

"It's terrible, Great Guardian! A group of people claiming to be from outer space have arrived in Beloberg, demanding that Beloberg repay a debt owed from a hundred years ago!"

As soon as the Silver-Maned Iron Guard finished speaking, Cocolia snapped the pen in her hand.

A dozen minutes later, Bronya, having received the news, also rushed to Cocolia's office.

"Mother, what happened?"

Bronya immediately asked as soon as she entered the room.

After all, anyone would be stunned to wake up one day to find out that their country is heavily in debt.

"Calm down, Bronya. You're the future Great Guardian. How can you be so flustered?"

Upon seeing Bronya's anxious expression, Cocolia gave her a good scolding.

Bronya calmed down and then asked Cocolia.

"Mother, I've heard that extraterrestrials have come to collect debts from us. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Cocolia sighed.

"I'm afraid it's true!"

As she spoke, Cocolia picked up the documents she had just found on the table and handed them to Bronya, then explained.

"About five hundred years ago, before the cold wave arrived, our ancestors borrowed a large sum of money from a company called 'Interstellar Peace Corporation' in order to fight against the endless stream of rift creatures!"

If it weren't for today, Cocolia wouldn't have known that Belloberg had such a bill.

Cocolia originally thought that all the Great Guardians left for their successors was the despair of constantly devouring the Belobor Rift.

I only found out today that there was such a huge debt.

This made Cocolia feel mentally exhausted.

"Mother, what should we do now?"

"I've already sent someone to invite those extraterrestrial visitors; they should be here soon. Let's hear what they have to say then!"

At this point, Cocolia was quite powerless.

"By the way, where are Luffy and the other two now?"

“At that moment, Cocolia suddenly asked.”

"The three of them said they wanted to go outside the city to experience skiing and ice skating today, so they left Belleburg early this morning!"

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Cocolia was genuinely afraid that Luffy and the other two variables would appear during the conversation.

Hearing that they were no longer in Beloborg brought Cocolia a sigh of relief.

At least we won't be disturbed during the conversation!

"Lady Cocolia, the others have arrived!"

At this moment, a staff member from Cripperburg entered the room and spoke to Cocolia.

Clearly, those extraterrestrial visitors have arrived.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

After giving the instructions, Cocolia's gaze fell on Bronya.

"Bronya, leave this to me. You...you go back to the Silvermane Guard and await orders!"

"But Mother, I also want to do my part for you!"

Bronya felt somewhat resentful when Cocolia asked her to leave.

Bronya also knew that Cocolia wanted to bear these things alone so as not to give her a headache.

"Mother, please let me stay!"

Seeing her daughter's insistence, Cocolia had no choice but to agree.

"I understand. You'll stand next to me in a bit, but you don't need to say anything!"

"Yes!"

Bronya's face lit up with joy when she saw that her mother had agreed.

He then stood straight beside Cocolia.

After doing all this, the office door was quickly opened, and Toppa walked in calmly.

Upon seeing Cocolia sitting in the position of the Great Guardian, Toppa was the first to greet her.

"Hello, my name is Toppa. I have come to your planet to discuss the matter of your planet borrowing money from our Interstellar Peace Company five hundred years ago!"

Seeing that the visitor was just a little girl, Cocolia still didn't let her guard down.

Being able to come here alone clearly shows that you are very confident in your abilities!

"Regarding the outstanding debt, I have checked the relevant information, and it is indeed true!"

It is clearly unlikely that they can deny it.

If someone could borrow money from Belloberg five hundred years ago, then the size of the Interstellar Peace Corporation must be much larger than Belloberg's.

It's definitely not a good thing to piss off the other party.

It's better to admit it honestly than to play dumb.
