Chapter 967 Cabbage sold for the price of jade

As a messenger, if you don’t even know where the target is, you are really incompetent and unprofessional!

Just as Kuro was complaining in his heart, the Den Den Mushi placed on the table suddenly made a sound: "Captain, I think that guy Tesoro may be looking for you to start an arms deal with you."

"Zangao told me today that guy is buying all kinds of weapons and equipment in the underground world. He has bought all the goods in the hands of our salesmen."

Hearing this, Kuro nodded slightly and said that he already knew about this matter: "Yes, I know about this matter. After all, Ryan is one of the merchants selling goods."

As soon as Kuro said this, the expression on Kuro's face froze instantly, as if time had stopped flowing at this moment.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and asked in disbelief, "Ryan? How could that guy make a deal with Tezoro?"

Kuro raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and explained: "I asked him to go."

"What's happening here?"

"I noticed the Golden Emperor when he was secretly buying up weapons. There happened to be several warehouses on Dimen Island that were piled high with old weapons. I asked Ryan to take people to transport them all to the island near the Golden Ship for sale."

"I didn't expect that guy to buy all of them without caring about the quality of the weapons."

Kuro sounded a little surprised when he said this. He swore that he just wanted to sell it at the price of scrap metal at first, but the buyer was too knowledgeable and started to pay a higher price.

When Kro heard Kuro mention the old weapons on Dimen Island, he remembered that there was such a batch of weapons.

These were the spoils they captured from defeating the enemies along the way. The quality of those things... was just average.

"So how's the profit this time?"

Kro asked curiously.

"Hey, the prices are ridiculous. They want them at a full ten percent higher than the price of brand new weapons."

At this time, Ryan, who was standing aside, had a proud look on his face, shaking handfuls of golden Baileys in his hands.

Looking to the side, you can see thick stacks of Bailey banknotes neatly arranged on the ground, almost occupying half of the room.

The whole room is filled with a strong smell of money, which makes people feel yearning.

"So outrageous?"

Clo was also shocked after hearing this.

"That guy, in my opinion, is most likely trying to please me. After all, he sent someone to look for me right after that."

Kuro said this with a smile on his face, his eyes revealing a subtle hint of meaning, but soon a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Although he was not obsessed with money, the unexpected pleasure of being able to sell ordinary cabbage at a price comparable to jadeite still made him happy.

"Then, Captain, you contacted me this time, I guess there is something important that you need me to do?"

Crow asked curiously, staring at the Den Den Mushi, waiting for the other party to give instructions.

Den Den Mushi shook his head slightly, then said slowly, "I wonder if you have heard of this news - Tesoro and Du Felder have teamed up to form a pirate group."

When Clo heard this, he quickly pulled out two pieces of paper from the mountain of information in front of him.

All that was recorded on the paper was some simple information about the two people's recent close relationship.

"Captain, this is the first time I've heard of this. But... their actions shouldn't pose any threat to us, right?"

Kro frowned slightly, a look of worry showing on his face.

Kuro waved his hand with a relaxed look and said comfortingly: "They are not worthy of being a threat to us. I think he came to me because he saw that after Kaido was killed by me, the throne of the Four Emperors would be vacant. These two people probably thought that there was an opportunity and wanted to use this opportunity to climb to that high position."

After a short pause, Kuro continued to analyze in an orderly manner: "The reason why they sent people to contact me this time is probably because of this matter. Maybe they want to win us over and use our power to help them secure the position of the Four Emperors."

While speaking, Kuro's expression remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Just as Kuro had guessed, at this moment, the golden ship, which was shining with brilliant golden light all over, was sailing on the vast ocean against the wind and waves.

In a jaw-droppingly magnificent room located at the core of this luxurious ship, Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, was whispering with Du Field.

I saw that the four walls of this room were made of pure gold.

It is intricately carved with a variety of gorgeous patterns; the ground is covered with thick, soft velvet carpets, the color of which looks like it was woven from the finest gold threads.

Above the head, the huge crystal chandelier emits dazzling light, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

In such an extremely luxurious environment, Tesoro, dressed in a golden robe, sat on a throne carved from a whole piece of gold brick.

His face, which was originally handsome but looked a little gloomy due to long-term immersion in power, was now slightly frowning, as if he was thinking about something important.

Du Felder, who was standing aside, had a worried look on his face. He looked at Tezoro and said earnestly, "Tezoro, that madman Xueren is definitely not a good person! You actually took the initiative to contact him. This is really too risky. If he accidentally targets you... the consequences will be disastrous!"

After saying this, he took two deep puffs of the expensive cigar in his mouth, and then slowly exhaled a large puff of thick smoke, as if trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

When Tesoro heard his words, a confident smile instantly appeared on his face, which was already a little arrogant.

That smile was like sunshine penetrating through dark clouds, illuminating the entire room, but for some reason it made people feel inexplicably chilled.
