The Deposit and the Agreement!

The Green Dew Formula is a good thing. Although the process of using it is a little painful and its maximum effect doesn't seem to be very high, at least it's not very useful against 'monsters', it can make a group of mediocre people become excellent, or make those who are already excellent even more excellent.

Vidal put his hand inside and indeed felt nothing. He didn't know if this was because he was also considered a 'monster,' or because he was in a vegetative state.

As for Nacil, he actually suggested that the woman give it a try.

After all, in this dangerous world, being stronger is a great thing, but unfortunately, Nacil refused.

There's a saying that goes, "Ignorance is bliss," but for Nacil, it's the exact opposite. She only needs to taste one bite to deduce the inhuman pain of being immersed in it, which is terrifying.

Since that's the case, Vidal had no choice but to store it away.

From October onwards, peace returned to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Grove 0 has been cleared out, but construction has not yet begun. Instead, it has been sealed off with wooden walls, as Colonel Noel needs some time to prepare.

Although he had some free time for a while, Vidal knew it would be very short-lived.

Because the seven main routes along the Grand Line will bring together formidable characters who have experienced countless adventures and battles to Sabaody.

By then, this place will be lively again!

"I wonder if this guy is coming this year, next year, or maybe he'll stay at the Paradise for a few more years?"

Vidal stared coldly at a newly posted bounty poster on the table.

The bounty offered on that screen is a whopping eight figures!

"What incredible luck! It just happened when neither Yixiao nor I could get away."

As the pace slowed down, time seemed to speed up, and more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Around the Sabaody Archipelago, ships of various sizes with skull patterns began to appear.

Although these pirate ships arrived at different times, they all tacitly avoided the main entrances and exits, finding a secluded and uninhabited place to moor their ships.

Inside the office, Vidal was looking at a map of the pirate ships' docking locations that his subordinates had compiled.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these guys all chose to dock at the edge of zones 20, 30, and 40. Is it because those are the furthest from us?"

The foreign pirates had no idea that a large number of Image Den Den Mushi were hidden around the entire outer perimeter of the archipelago.

No matter how remote your ship is, the Marine Base at No. 60 can see it immediately.

"Let those local tyrants make their money first, then we'll close the net."

Vidal inhaled the faint aroma of the green tea in his cup, and a soft murmur accompanied the fragrance, which drifted through the room.

"Take your time, no rush. Since you're here, why not stay?"

On the island, pirates who emerged from various remote outskirts began heading towards the Inn Street or shipyard after inquiring about the island's basic situation.

Some pirate crews chose to find a place to stay first, while others, in their haste, went straight to inquire about the coating process.

In mid-October, the Inn Street saw a surge in foot traffic, with groups of people from all walks of life strolling back and forth, chatting or laughing.

At this moment, a group of about thirty fully armed people crossed the bridge connecting Zone 20 and entered Zone 70, where the Inn Street is located.

They are the Warfire Pirates, a pirate crew from the West Blue, who anchored their ship next to GR 23.

"Look, Admiral!"

Suddenly, a young man in the group pointed to the street in the distance and exclaimed, "There are navy men on that street!"

Actually, he didn't need to remind them; many people had already seen the small blue and white tower in the distance, and some casually replied...

He said, "That's not surprising. It's the final island of the first half, after all. We can just avoid it a bit."

"That's right, if these naval personnel don't provoke us, we should just ignore them!"

Norman nodded in agreement; he was the captain of the Warfire Pirates.

However, because he came from the army of a certain country in the West Blue, he liked to be called Admiral. Officers were given the title of general by him, and below them were ordinary soldiers.

But as they carried or slung various firearms into the town, they were surprised to find an automatic Den Den Mushi wearing a navy cap slowly walking by, and the people around them seemed quite used to its presence.

Only newcomers like them would show surprise or wariness.

"Move aside, let's find a hot spring bath first!" Norman frowned, looked away, and led the group into a shop with a hot spring sign.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Two women dressed in floral kimonos and with their hair styled in a princess updo greeted you with smiles.

"What a beautiful woman."

This immediately caught the attention of some of the soldiers behind Norman, and some of them began to stir with anticipation. Not only them, but even Norman himself subconsciously glanced at the two of them a few more times.

"We want to stay here for seven days, and get us a meal with the best food and drinks!"

Norman strode to the counter and Haki an order, then glanced at the woman standing to the side, "And women, give each of them one. I'll have two here!"

I don't need it anymore.

At this moment, the white-clad man who had been silently following beside him replied expressionlessly.

Norman wasn't angry. This was his strongest gunman, and he knew Haiye's temperament. He laughed and said, "It's alright, just give them to me. I'll take three!"

"Casual."

Haiye was carrying a long white Fire Pistol slung across his shoulder, and he was dressed entirely in white, including a white cloak, making him stand out in the group of people dressed entirely in black and wearing gray helmets.

But he didn't care at all; for Haiye, only prey worthy of being targeted could arouse his interest.

"Okay, no problem at all, we have everything here!"

Just when Norman and the others thought they could go in, the shopkeeper, dressed in a blue kimono, spoke up again from behind the counter.

"Thirty-two rooms for seven days, a table of fine food and wine, and thirty-three maids. Please pay a deposit of fifty million Beli upfront. Any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected upon check-out."

"What?"

"A deposit is required first! And it's a whopping 50 million Beli?"

Norman was quite surprised; weren't guests supposed to pay for accommodations when they left?

Isn't 50 million Beli a bit too much?

Even though he had stolen all that money, he couldn't just squander it like that; he felt the shop was ripping him off.

"The 50 million is just a deposit. We will give you a detailed bill later, and any excess will be refunded," the shopkeeper explained politely.

"As for why the deposit is so high, if I'm not mistaken, you're pirates, right? And you're none other than Mr. Norman 'Firepower Net,' the captain of the Warfire Pirates with a bounty of 63 million Beli, aren't you?"

Norman was not surprised or angry when he heard that the shopkeeper had recognized him; instead, he was delighted.

I never imagined that even the Sabaody Archipelago knew of my great name!

"Ahem, that's right, it is indeed this Admiral!"

The shopkeeper smiled. "That's right. Because being a pirate carries higher risks, the deposit is higher than for ordinary people. I hope Admiral Norman understand."

"Alright, alright." Norman was speechless; after all, pirates were indeed hard to trust.

Without turning his head, he waved behind him, and immediately a soldier wearing a steel helmet and carrying a rapid-fire machine gun came over, placed a black leather case on the counter, and opened it.

The next moment, stacks of Beli banknotes filled the entire box, but the shopkeeper's expression remained calm.

It's just a hundred million yuan, you get used to it after a while!

The soldier took out fifty million units, closed the box, and silently returned to his ranks.

After the shopkeeper had collected the money, Norman was about to lead his men inside when the shopkeeper called out to them again.

"Please wait a moment, Admiral Norman."

"What's wrong now?!"

Norman grew impatient and glared fiercely at them. The soldiers behind him also looked angry; didn't they know they were in a hurry?

Please take a look at this agreement first, and then sign it.
