Although astonished by the Maud Pirates' wealth, Cains did not jump to any conclusions.
Even with his discerning eye, he could not estimate the approximate value of this pile of Beli and gold.
But he could be certain that the amount of money here far exceeded the four or five hundred million he had mentioned earlier.
It was just that Adam Wood itself was a shipbuilding material with highly volatile prices.
Often, even having money did not guarantee that one could buy it.
If someone put a supply on the underground market, and the purchase had been arranged in advance, then with a bit of luck, it might be possible to buy it for two or three hundred million.
Without an advance arrangement or the right connections, and with a bit of bad luck, the shortage of supplies could drive the purchase price up by double, or even an exaggerated two or three times.
After that, it would also depend on the size of the ship the buyer wanted.
The Adam Wood bought for four or five hundred million would be enough to build a medium-sized ship.
But if they wanted a large ship bigger than medium-sized, then they would not be able to get one for less than a billion.
Those estimates did not even include expenses such as labor, transportation, design, and shipbuilding fees.
Simply put, this was not something an ordinary pirate could afford to play with.
Yet a rookie pirate crew that had only recently entered the Grand Line possessed such terrifying capital. In all his years in the industry, Cains had never seen or heard of anything like it.
However, before the buyer's needs were clear, making promises too easily was foolish in itself.
"We have enough to buy the materials."
Cains suppressed the surge
