But... the orange-haired girl in front of him gave him a feeling that the other party was one step ahead of him in terms of brain and overall planning. He has worked so hard and spent so many years, but it is almost incomparable to what the other party has achieved in less than a year. Even if he successfully achieved his future plan and successfully obtained the country of Alabasta, the other party's path at that time How high will it extend?

This is a feeling that oneself has completely lost in the overall situation and plan, even if the opponent is not an enemy, but the feeling of being at a disadvantage in comparison is obviously unbearable.

Admitting defeat is not so easy to do. It is said that death is the only way to die, but for the heroes who are full of ambition and have made great efforts to this end, what is death? The most painful thing is that all of my efforts and sacrifices are lost to others.

Kacha~!

The handle of the chair held by Crocodile's right hand was even smashed in his clenched fingers, while Nami, who was opposite him, was still calmly tasting the champagne in the glass. For her, this kind of other person was in front of her. The scene of admitting defeat has long been uncommon. The only thing to say differently is that this time Crocodile is the hero of another world.

Those who are good at riding fall on horses, those who are good at water are drowning in water, those who are good at drinking are drunk, and those who are good at fighting are killed. This is an old saying that Nami likes very much. For her, those defeated opponents have made the same mistake, that is, they all think that their plans or plans are seamless and unmatched, but they don't know, If you are proficient in the same skill, you will always encounter opponents who are better at this skill, and you will be defeated.

Therefore, if you want to be truly invincible, the only way is to prepare two or more trump cards at the same time. For someone like Kroc Dahl, who only wanted to occupy Alabasta to find Hades, and thus achieve his wish through a single path of force, for Nami, he could only be regarded as a junior opponent from a long time ago.

Crocodile was immersed in unwillingness and anger, unable to extricate herself, while Nami was fascinated by her past memories, and neither of them were interested in speaking. I don't know how long it took before a long breathing sound broke the silence, but Crocodile, who was sitting opposite Nami, spoke again, and his tone returned to his previous calm. Obviously, this sand crocodile is still in the end. Tenaciously broke free from the mental trap of complaining, and calmed down: "If you say that, you won't have restrictions on the supply of goods, right?"

"When there are no special circumstances, it is true. However, it cannot be ruled out that the supply of iron ore is not enough or other natural and man-made disasters."

Returning to her senses in time, Nami also put down the goblet she had emptied, and then answered lightly: "However, in order not to be taken away by the government's lackeys in the middle of it, so I I still need the support of you and Doflamingo, the two names of Qibukai. Therefore, we are actually in a relationship of mutual support, and if we want to go further, we have to help each other.”

"Hmph, such a tight-lipped little girl, is your age real?"

Crocodile's face finally showed a smile again, but this was different from the fake smirk before, but an emotion with a little interest and a sense of exploration. And his right hand was slightly raised, and a thin yellow sand rolled up the champagne bottle in the center of the table, and then refilled the goblet by Nami's hand. Obviously, no matter whether it is ambition or brain, the current Nami has indeed won the respect of this sand crocodile. This kind of real intelligence cannot be faked, and Crocodile does not bother to deny it in this regard.

"I also feel like I have lived two lifetimes, who knows?"

Shrugging slightly, Nami also politely picked up the goblet filled by the other party, and then raised her glass to Crocodile in front of her again, and this time Crocodile also took the goblet in front of her very seriously. After the people signaled from afar, they raised their heads and drank all at once. Obviously, this moment is the real atmosphere of negotiation. The previous one was just a beast's test to determine whether the weak should eat the weak.

"That guy Doflamingo has been very anxious recently. It is said that the Four Emperors are all eyeing Xia Lan, who he sold on behalf of him. Although that kid won't be easily killed, I just happen to want you to expand your production."

Putting down the wine glass, Crocodile's tone also became natural, and he unabashedly revealed his gloating over Doflamingo's situation. Obviously, this is the minimum trust in business partners. For Crocodile, who is proud of himself For a hero who is unwilling to trust anyone, it is indeed commendable.

"Four Emperors, so Whitebeard and Redhead should want him to ban Xia Lan, but Mr. Kaido and Mrs. Charlotte should hope that the more such weapons, the better. Two to two, Mr. Clown should still be There is plenty of room, after all, it is not yet the time for the Four Emperors World War.”

She tilted her head noncommittally, and Nami's answer also made Crocodile slightly raise his eyebrows with satisfaction, and touched his chin with a little interest, Crocodile also said: "That's right, I understand Whitebeard's style, The red-haired boy is also, after all, he was also a member of the One Piece ship back then. And Kaido, the barbarian who started the war wholeheartedly, and the fat woman who eats people, have a more realistic and sensible style, how? Does Brother Ming differentiate and choose customers?"

"No... It's not necessary. Although we also have some information, we are not in the new world after all, so how to choose depends on Mr. Clown's own judgment."

After thinking for a while, Nami also nodded: "But... that's it, I plan to attach a bag of antidote to the newly manufactured Xia Lan sword handle, there is only one bag on each Xia Lan, as for how to use it Buyers have their own choice.”

"Huh? It's a little too late to think about doing good deeds now, isn't it? The sea should be full of pirates who hate Xia Lan and also hate its manufacturer."

Looking at Nami playfully, Crocodile was obviously not interested in this suspected soft-hearted approach, but Nami just raised her hand slightly, and then slightly twisted a strand of hair around her neck, her tone of voice There is also a vague sense of innocence.

"How could it be? I just want to tell those 'decent pirates' who might hate me, that even if you don't want to kill Xia Lan, if you want to save people, you have to buy Xia Lan yourself. As for them How they want to fight, want to use that limited bag of antidote to save their comrades or themselves, or even their own enemies, these are the choices they have to make."

"And I'm just an ordinary supplier who delivers weapons to the belligerents, and then delivers antidote to the guardians."

(PS1: Wise men meet and the strong bow their heads, this is interesting~~)

(PS2: There is an antidote, but it is my two friends who are hit by the knife. How should I choose? Is one of them impassioned self-sacrifice to leave the antidote to his companions, or one of them is despicable and cruel to betray, in order to survive And what about killing another companion?)

People and business

Xia Lan's antidote is naturally there. As a derivative of Nami's ability, its essence is to use the ability to create blood poison that will cause the blood to lose its coagulation power, and then stick firmly when the sword is quenched with these blood poison. In the steel texture of the blade, a strange fusion posture is formed. It is not so much a demon knife, but a poisonous blade dipped in blood poison.

So to relieve this kind of wound affected by blood poison, the easiest way is to neutralize its toxicity. Nami's approach is to use blood to make a serum that is diametrically opposite to blood poison, and dry it to create After being smeared on the wound, it can neutralize the healing pressure of the blood poison on the surrounding area, so that the wound can heal quickly, which is the so-called Xia Lan's antidote.

"However, it's a pity that you have to put in extra effort like this."

Yallita looked at the new batch of Xia Lan in front of her. These Xia Lans were not much different from the previous ones, but the decoration of the scabbard and the handle became more beautiful. They inherited the cross-stamp sword of three generations of ghosts. At the same time, a rather elegant black printing cage is hung on the handle of the knife, and the pattern on it is a blooming manzhushahua, which is undoubtedly the most intuitive for people to feel the effects brought by these fierce blades. Blood splattered image. However, the irony is that a total of two antidote for Xia Lan's new configuration are in this seal cage, and each Xia Lan has only two antidote.

"Exquisite packaging and perfect logistics are the additional conditions that can be most trusted by customers when the quality of the goods is generally up to standard. Well, the blacksmiths are working hard, and the quality of this batch of Xialan knives is indeed much better. "

Nami looked at the Xia Lan in her hand with satisfaction. It was still a beautiful and classic red flaming knife pattern, but the integration of the steel itself was undoubtedly much improved. This is not because Yegoro was lazy before, but because he can't compare with more than 100 blacksmiths, especially Nami who imposed a strict assembly line system on these more than 100 blacksmiths, and he is young and inexperienced. The blacksmiths in the factory can only be responsible for the heavy physical work first, and the older and experienced blacksmiths are responsible for the forging and stacking.

In this way, it is not surprising that Xia Lan's quality has risen. After all, people's energy is limited, and it is easy to make mistakes in some details when they are responsible for the whole thing. If they are only responsible for one area, they will undoubtedly be better. many.

"Your idea is definitely fine, but if you always give the scabbard and the seal to the lacquer ware merchants in the big towns, the cost seems to be a bit large. I think we can find a small town and let them focus on the responsibility, like this Our efficiency can also be improved.”

Arrita definitely has no problem with Nami, but she also has some suggestions of her own. After thinking about it, Nami also nodded. After all, the blacksmiths can be responsible for the creation of the blade, but the scabbard and the cage are things that need to be carefully crafted from wood, especially Nami's purpose is to run the scabbard and the cage. The more exquisite the art, the better. This is obviously not feasible without professionals.

And there is indeed a person who has exquisite drawing skills, and there is indeed one in Nami's memory, that is Dr. Nagao, the doctor of Cocoyashi Murakami. The tattoo on Gao's body, as well as the windmill pattern on Nami's arm, were all tattooed by the other party. Because tattooing requires both a certain knowledge of painting, the old doctor's private painting level is also quite high. It must be good for him to draw the pattern of the scabbard and the pattern of the cage.

"Let's find Coco Yaxi Village in the village. I'm very familiar with the people in that place. The doctor Nagao, who is good at tattooing, is in charge of the guidance, and the town policeman A Jian is in charge of management. It's no problem to think about it."

She put the Xia Lan in her hand into the scabbard, and Nami's tone also brought a bit of disappointment. It should be the hometown of 'Nami', but now she can only silently hide in the dark and peep at the village.

"Huh? Oh... Coco Yaxi Village, right? Since you have a goal, just follow this village."

Arrita was undoubtedly a little stunned, she just made this suggestion, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually have the idea of ​​contracting this business cooperation to a certain village in this way, and it seemed that she still had something in her heart. plan. But as a good subordinate self-consciousness, Arrita naturally didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, but Nami's words were obviously not finished.

"Wait, Cocoyashi Village doesn't have much wood resources, so... the wood business goes to Windmill Village, which is the town where we met the straw hat boy last time. The back of their village is the mountain forest, so I don't have to worry about the lack of wood. ."

There is no doubt that Nami's order confuses Al Rita even more. After all, the best way is to find a town with forest resources and carpenters. The caged towns are separate from the towns that provide timber, and the first thing to do is to add an extra cost of transporting timber. Not to mention that because two supply locations are required, there will be more risks and troubles that may be derived.

And Nami, who has always been so wise, shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"Rita, these two deals are not just business, but also a matter of repayment of debts. Don't screw it up."

Noticing Al Rita's hesitation, Nami also explained softly. After hearing such words, Yarita immediately understood. After all, Nami is also a human being. Maybe she has received some kind of care and favor in these two villages. Now she wants to give these two long-term cooperative businesses to these two villages. It is understandable.

"Oh~ Since that's the case, I'll do it now, and the remuneration will be provided to them at the market price, and the price will not be lowered."

As the person who currently handles most of the financial issues, Yarita is of course not dissatisfied with her status, and Nami never puts on airs or shakes her prestige in front of her, which makes her work very hard. , after all, being able to be included in the development process of a great thing, or even a decisive position in it, this feeling can naturally satisfy people's desire for power and ambition.

"By the way, I also found the new material you asked for. The price is quite expensive, so you can go and relax. After a long journey back from Alabasta, you should have a rest."

She smiled ambiguously, and Arrita pointed to the direction of the bedroom stateroom quite suggestively, but she couldn't help feeling powerless, Nami sighed and nodded slightly: "Okay, please, please. , then I wish you a smooth negotiation."

Obviously, it's easy to understand what the material Al Rita is referring to. It was the women with special skills that Nami instructed her to look for last time. Female stars, turned to those possible female killers or spies, and now it seems that Arrita has indeed found it.

Raised her finger and touched her left cheek, Nami could clearly feel it. Even if she used makeup techniques to cover up those scales on her face, she could still feel the texture that made her extremely disgusting when she touched it. At the moment, it seems that the only way to get rid of these **** scales is to collect the blood of those young women.

No matter what, at least this body must be restored to the level of a human.

Clenching her fist slightly, Nami also stepped up to her cabin, whether she liked it or not, but this was her responsibility and she couldn't avoid it.

For the East China Sea, which has the most peaceful environment, the credibility of the world government is undoubtedly quite high, so when the Enterprise arrived at the pier of Cocoa West Village, the town policeman Ah Jian came to the pier to greet him, but because of the previous They have already seen the fact that the navy of the branch and the dragon are suspiciously colluding, so this time they did not show much respect.

"I'm the deputy director of the East China Sea Special Investigation Department, a department directly under the World Government, Arrita. Who is the person in charge?"

Arrita, who is dressed in a white suit and a trench coat, is undoubtedly powerful. After all, she is a woman who has been the leader of the pirates, so there is no need to disguise the aura of the superior.

"I'm the town policeman here, Ah Jian, what's the matter?"

Trying to keep calm, Ah Jian was undoubtedly under great pressure, but he couldn't step back at this moment, because enough people had sacrificed in order to bring this village back to peace. Although, he was really confused about the government's ships coming here. After all, there is no treasure or special thing here, so it is easy to associate with bad development.

"Well, the government has a task for you. Have you seen this scabbard and cage? The government wants you to be responsible for the production of these two things, and the price of the remuneration will be delivered at the average market price. Now, what's the problem?"
