I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"Who?"

"It's me, Cocolia!"

I got another key card at the visitor center today, awesome!

Volume 1: Chapter 119 Debuting as an Idol!

Nighttime, in Luffy's room.

At this moment, Luffy and Cocolia sat on the edge of the bed, staring at each other, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

After a long while, Cocolia was the first to break the awkward silence.

"Speaking of which, you three have been in Beloborg for so long, and as the High Guardian of Beloborg, I have not been able to have a proper conversation with you all. It is truly my fault!"

As she spoke, Cocolia picked up a wine glass, slowly poured a glass of red wine, and handed it to Luffy.

After accepting the red wine, Ruffy pondered for a moment and then spoke.

You drink first!

Upon hearing this, Cocolia's lips twitched. So, she was afraid that she would poison the wine, huh?

Having no other choice but to ask Luffy for a favor, Cocolia had to take back the wine glass and drink the red wine in it in one gulp.

This proved that they really didn't add anything strange.

"Actually, I don't like drinking red wine. I prefer milk!"

At that moment, Luffy suddenly spoke.

Cocolia looked at Luffy in front of her speechlessly, and finally gritted her teeth and said.

"Wait!"

With that, Cocolia got up and left Luffy's room.

However, Cocolia returned not long after.

This time, however, she held a glass of pure white liquid.

Luffy took the milk that Cocolia had specially brought and drank it all in one gulp.

What a lavish drink!

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Having drunk her milk, Luffy naturally knew that Cocolia wanted to see him.

"Well, I have something I want to ask you. Aren't you from outer space? What are your thoughts on 'the company'?"

"They should all be hanging from the streetlights!"

Luffy answered without hesitation.

If there were no antimatter legions or abundant people in the universe.

That company is undoubtedly the most dangerous entity in the entire world!

"Then let me ask you another question: if that company asked you to sign a contract, do you think there would be any problems?"

"Nine out of ten of the company's contracts have traps, and there's one that's particularly bad. Think about it carefully!"

Hearing Luffy's opinion of the company left Cocolia speechless. Was the company really that bad?

However, considering that Luffy probably doesn't have much interaction with the company, he probably wouldn't say anything good about it.

Upon hearing Cocolia's questions, Luffy roughly knew what had happened.

"Have any company people come over in the last couple of days?"

"So it couldn't be hidden after all. That's right, a group of people from outer space have indeed come these past two days, claiming to be from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, saying they've come to collect a debt owed by Belloberg from hundreds of years ago!"

Cocolia honestly recounted what had happened in the past few days.

Although it's hard to admit, currently only a few people like Luffy from outer space in the entire Belloberg region have any real knowledge about things outside of space.

“Those people from the company said that as long as you sign a contract with the company, the entire Belleburg will become an employee of the company and work for the company, and the company is also willing to improve the environment for Arillow.”

To be honest, such good conditions made Cocolia somewhat tempted to do something practical.

If Belloberg can really improve, then becoming a company employee wouldn't be so bad.

"Helping to improve the environment in Yalilo? Did they tell you that this method has a high success rate?"

"You mean this could also fail?"

Cocolia was somewhat surprised when she heard what Luffy said.

I originally thought that Toppa's claim of improving the environment of Yalilo was a sure thing, given the technological level of extraterrestrials.

According to Luffy, there was actually a possibility of failure.

"If you don't believe me, you can search it up yourself!"

As he spoke, Luffy took out his phone and handed it to Cocolia.

Luffy's phone can search for news circulating around the world.

There are naturally many news reports about the company modifying the environment of other planets.

Success and failure are inevitable, and there's no point in hiding that for a company.

Therefore, after receiving the phone, Cocolia quickly learned about the company's so-called method of modifying the planet's environment.

While there are successful cases, they are few and far between.

Most of the renovation projects were declared failures.

Cocolia even learned from some forums that the company would squeeze all the value out of the planets that failed to be terraformed and then leave them to fend for themselves.

Such cases are numerous.

Seeing these victims speak out, Cocolia couldn't help but consider rejecting Topa's proposed method.

Cocolia dared not allow Ariello to successfully modify her.

Failure would only make life more difficult for the people of Belloberg.

But Belloberg doesn't have that much money to spare right now.

Or rather, even after several generations, they still won't be able to come up with that much money!

After thinking for a moment, Coco cautiously asked Ruf.

"Mr. Luffy, do you know any jobs that pay well?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy also revealed a confident expression.

"You've asked the right person!"

As he spoke, Luffy took back his phone and opened the interstellar map.

"I discovered there's a company bank in the galaxy next to yours. It holds a lot of credits, and every Friday afternoon there's a five-minute shift change—that's when the bank's security is at its weakest. If we..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Cocolia interrupted him.

Luffy is speaking so eloquently, it seems like he's been thinking about this for a long time.

"Is there anything more legal?"

"Legal?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately lost interest.

"Legal, um, let me think?"

Seeing Luffy's lack of interest, Cocolia couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"It really does!"

"Legal?"

"Legal!"

"Is it a quick way to make money?"

"Faster than robbery!"

Upon hearing that there was such a method, Cocolia couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"any solution?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy patted Cocolia on the shoulder and spoke righteously and solemnly.

"Cocolia, go become an idol!"

"?"

But when I type this question mark, it means either you have a problem or I have a problem.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Cocolia asked, somewhat incredulously.

"I said I want to be an idol!"

Luffy naturally spoke again.

Are you sure you're not just making fun of me?

"How could that be? I have a friend who can earn the equivalent of several top-tier planets' worth of income from just one concert!"

Upon hearing this, Cocolia couldn't help but gasp.

Is this how idols make money in the celestial realm?

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, I can have my friend send me a receipt for her concert earnings!"

Seeing Luffy's confident demeanor, Cocolia truly believed it too.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Luffy's so-called friend was actually a world-renowned singer.

Volume 1: Chapter 120 The End of Live Streaming is E-commerce

After Luffy's prompting, Cocolia was beginning to believe what Luffy had said earlier.

At this moment, Cocolia was like someone who had just left the countryside and arrived in the big city, only to encounter a shady middleman.

They were completely stunned by the scam.

"So, in your opinion, how much money can we make from a single concert?"

"Who told you we made money from concerts?"

Upon hearing this, Cocolia was stunned.

"Didn't you say you were going to make some kind of idol?"

"Yes!"

Ruff nodded; he had indeed said that.

"So we make money from concerts, don't we?"

"That's wrong. How can you make money from concerts? Renting a venue doesn't cost money, promotion doesn't cost money, equipment doesn't cost money, and so on?"

Cocolia was immediately confused by the question, so she turned to Luffy and asked him.

"So how should we make money?"

"Of course, it's live-streaming sales!"

Ultimately, all internet celebrities end up selling goods via live streaming.

"Of course, if you don't want to rent any idols or bands, you can just put together any performance to attract viewers and then start selling goods via live stream!"
