Selling and Finding a Ship

Chapter 26 Selling and Finding a Ship

Time flows by like fine sand.

In the world of One Piece, Suzuki's clone has already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days!"

The ship had arrived at the port of Sabaody, and Suzuki was saying his final goodbyes to the sailors he had hired.

"Hahaha, you're too kind, Mr. Suzuki. Since you paid, it's only right that we do it."

The sailors also expressed their gratitude to Suzuki. They had actually made a lot of money on this trip, and Suzuki gave each of them 100,000 peso.

The sailors felt that although the journey was arduous, it was worth it to earn so many peculiarities in just one month.

"Anyway, thank you very much! Here, please count the rest of the money."

Suzuki smiled gently and settled the remaining money with the sailors.

During this month-long sea voyage, they occasionally encountered storms and waves in some sea areas.

But the sailors he hired were all quite experienced, easily navigating those waters, and never complained; they were also very responsible.

"Okay, thank you, no need to order. Haha, well then, Mr. Suzuki, we'll disembark here. Goodbye!"

The sailors clearly trusted Suzuki, believing that someone like him wouldn't try to cheat them over such a small amount of money. They took the money and immediately said goodbye to Suzuki.

Suzuki also smiled and politely waved goodbye.

After the sailors left, Suzuki also disembarked and set foot on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The scenery here is truly unique!

Many bubbles will rise from the ground and then float into the air.

These bubbles are also the most distinctive feature of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Sabaody Archipelago is made up of many mangrove trees, and the ground of the islands is the root system of these trees.

The roots of the Yarchiman mangrove tree secrete a special natural resin through respiration. When the resin expands due to the air, it forms these very beautiful bubbles on the island.

As Suzuki walked down the streets of Sabaody, he saw that everything around him was related to bubbles.

Examples include bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, and houses built on bubbles.

The Sabaody Archipelago consists of 79 Yarchiman mangroves, each with its own number, and the division of the area is based on these numbers.

For example, Suzuki is located at the port in Zone 53, where there are many shipyards, coating factories, and so on.

As he looked around at the strange scenery, he searched for merchant ships heading to the Western Sea, and also wondered if he could sell his ship for a good price.

Before long, he still hadn't found a merchant ship heading to the Western Sea, but he did find a secondhand ship dealer.

With a secondhand boat dealer in his forties or fifties by his side, Suzuki returned to the boat's mooring point.

He pointed to the ship that had carried him for a month and said calmly:

"This ship is brand new, I just bought it, it cost me fifty million Berries! Now, for forty-five million, it's yours!"

"Fifty million? Sir, you've definitely been ripped off! This ship is worth at most twenty million Berries! Where did you buy it, sir?"

The secondhand boat dealer obviously didn't believe such nonsense and immediately cut the price by more than half, and tried to coax Suzuki into revealing more information about the boat in order to further reduce the price.

Suzuki smiled gently as he looked at the secondhand ship dealer:

"If you don't want this ship, I can sell it to someone else."

"If you don't make this money, I'll just feel sorry for you."

"Let's set a fixed price. You name your price, and I'll see if it meets my expectations."

The secondhand boat dealer didn't seem flustered by Suzuki's sudden directness, and calmly replied:

"Yes, sir. This ship does look quite nice, but it's really only worth thirty million at most!"

"Even if it's secondhand, I still need to make money, right? It's 25 million. If you're selling, I'll pay you directly!"

Suzuki wasn't surprised. The ship was originally bought for 30 million, and the resale value was already quite good, going from 20 million to 25 million.

People who have been in this business for so many years, if they didn't know how much a boat is actually worth, they would have switched careers long ago.

So he calmly said to the secondhand ship dealer:

"Sure. But you have to do me a favor!"

"I need to go to the Western Sea soon. Find me a merchant ship that goes there. The fare is negotiable, but it must be fast and safe!"

The secondhand ship dealer was clearly delighted; with this deal, he would earn at least two million Berries.

He replied with a smile to Suzuki's request, and said it with great pleasure:

"Haha, okay sir. I'll go get the money for you right away!"

There are no ships going to the West Sea recently.

"However, I am fairly familiar with this information. Generally speaking, there is one merchant ship going to the West Sea every week."

"Sir, if you don't mind, you can give me the Den Den Mushi's number."

"I will notify you immediately once a merchant ship heads to the Western Sea!"

Suzuki nodded, thinking he would definitely need the Den Den Mushi someday, and then looked at the secondhand boat dealer and asked:

"Are there any Den Den Mushi (snail phone) vendors around here? What's the usual price?"

The secondhand boat dealer pointed to the right:

"There's one about 300 meters over there. The prices aren't too expensive. The regular ones cost 200,000 to 300,000 Berries each, but there are also more expensive ones that cost 5 million Berries."

Suzuki quickly arrived at the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) specialty store.

There are many types of Den Den Mushi here: some can only answer calls, some can record video, some can broadcast live and show videos, and some are even tamper-proof.

Suzuki bought two, one for making calls and one for video calls, spending over a million Berries.

He originally wanted to buy more so he could take them back and study the main body of the Naruto.

But the owner of the Den Den Mushi kindly reminded Suzuki.

Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped insects) are sometimes easy to keep, and sometimes difficult. They are the type of pets that need to be well cared for. If you buy too many, they are easy to die because you can't take care of them.

Suzuki thought about it and realized that there was indeed such a saying in the original work, so he only bought two, intending to bring a few more back to the main body when he had the chance in the future.

Back at the ship's mooring, the secondhand ship dealer had already packed the money into a box and handed it to Suzuki.

Suzuki took the money box, opened it, and looked inside. It was indeed 25 million Berries, not a penny less.

So he closed the box again and gave the number of the Den Den Mushi he had just bought to the secondhand ship dealer.

At the same time, Suzuki also asked for the secondhand ship dealer's Den Den Mushi number, instructing him to notify him immediately if he noticed any merchant ships heading to the West Sea.

Afterwards, Suzuki didn't plan to explore the Sabaody Archipelago, so he found a guesthouse in Ward 53 to stay in.

Three days later, the Den Den Mushi rang, bringing news from a merchant ship in the Western Sea.
