Hancock's Shock: So Much?!

Since his Grandma Za didn't plan to eat it, he didn't insist.

Afterwards, Xi Yan put away the Devil Fruit on the table, intending to have Hancock find a place to put them first.

"Put it in the Treasure Vault," Hancock said. "I have a special place for storing treasure."

Every time she returned from a campaign, she would put the looted treasures into that place.

Hearing Hancock's words, Xi Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "You have Treasure Vault here too?"

Of course.

She was, after all, the emperor of this country; how could she not have Treasure Vault?

"Then let's go," Xi Yan nodded.

"Alright, I'll personally take you there," Hancock said with a smile.

Then, Hancock stood up and pulled Xi Yan toward the Treasure Vault inside the palace.

"Let's do it together," Xi Yan said. "I'll also take out the gifts I brought for you."

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, and then followed Xi Yan and the other person away.

"I never expected an old woman like me to receive a gift," Gloriosa said with some emotion.

"How could I possibly forget you?" Xi Yan said with a smile.

The old man treated Hancock and the others like his own daughters, so he naturally couldn't treat them with disrespect.

Upon hearing this, Gloriosa laughed, and her gaze towards Xi Yan became increasingly satisfied.

Soon, the group arrived at the Treasure Vault that Hancock had described.

"This..."

Looking around at the scene inside the Treasure Vault, Xi Yan was immediately rendered speechless.

Isn't Amazon Lily a bit too poor?

"What's wrong?"

Hancock, who was about to explain the situation to Xi Yan, suddenly looked at Xi Yan with a puzzled expression, wondering why he would make such a face.

"Is this your private Treasure Vault?"

"Um..." Hancock thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's not wrong."

What do you mean by saying that it's not wrong to say that?

"Because I am the emperor of this island," Hancock explained. "As the emperor of Amazon Lily, I have absolute control over this country!"

"So it's not wrong to say this is my private Treasure Vault."

After each expedition, they would distribute some of the looted goods and send the rest here.

And she has absolute control over these things!

"Don't worry, Brother-in-law Lord," Sander Sonia said, "There won't be any problems with the things here."

"Without your Older Sister Lord's orders, no one is allowed to come here and take anything; otherwise, it's a capital offense!"

After hearing Sander Sonia's words, Xi Yan nodded and said, "Then put it here."

He then handed the Devil Fruit to Sander Sonia, gesturing for her to find a suitable place to put it.

Sander Sonia nodded, picked up her things, and turned to walk away into the distance.

After watching the other person put the items into a large box, Xi Yan turned to Hancock and said, "Hancock."

"Yes~"

Hancock blinked her big eyes at Xi Yan and asked, "What is it?"

"Isn't Amazon Lily a bit too poor?" Xi Yan looked at the contents of the Treasure Vault and said with a complicated expression, "This can't even compare to the Treasure Vault of a single Celestial Dragons."

This is a Treasure Vault for the nation!

A nation's Treasure Vault contains only this much... isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Hancock:!!!

Seeing Xi Yan's expression, Hancock was dumbfounded. Was she being rejected?

Thinking of this, Hancock immediately said anxiously, "I will try my best to go out and plunder, please don't despise me."

Xi Yan:...

Is that what he meant?

Looking at Hancock's anxious face, Xi Yan said helplessly, "I'm not looking down on you, I'm just lamenting that you don't have much here."

Hearing this, Hancock breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you don't dislike it..."

She wouldn't know what to do if she were truly rejected.

After glancing at Hancock's performance, Grandma Za shook her head helplessly, then turned to Xi Yan and said, "Our Amazon Lily definitely can't compare to the Celestial Dragons, after all... we don't have anyone to hand over the Celestial Gold!"

The Celestial Dragons have to hand over Celestial Gold to them, so they have countless riches to use, but Amazon Lily doesn't have that kind of treatment!

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that they have far fewer items than the Celestial Dragons.

"That's true..."

Xi Yan stroked his chin and nodded, then said, "But... Isn't Amazon Lily a Closed-door seclusion country? Why haven't you saved any money?"

This has been the way things have been for hundreds of years, and yet no money has been saved?

"It's true that the country is in a state of Closed-door seclusion, but that doesn't mean they don't spend money," Grandma Za said. "When the Kuja Pirates go out, they also bring back some things from outside."

"And all of these things cost money!"

"Besides... even when our Kuja Pirates go out to plunder, we don't necessarily get a lot of money."

Most of the time, the pirates they encounter are poor, and even if they kill them all, they won't get much money. They can only earn a little more when they encounter merchant ships.

"I see," Xi Yan nodded.

In that case, it's quite reasonable that Amazon Lily didn't accumulate much money.

Then, Xi Yan said, "Is it possible that the emperor of Amazon Lily left with the treasure?"

"Have."

Grandma Za nodded and said, "More than a hundred years ago, there were two emperors who did just that."

"After finding true love, they left with a portion of their treasure, which is one of the reasons why our Treasure Vault is so empty."

Hearing his Grandma Za's words, Xi Yan wore a complicated expression.

At that moment, he seemed to hear the shouts of some of the people of Amazon Lily.

'The emperor has run away again!'

This tradition is really something...

"Do you want treasure, Xi Yan?" Hancock looked at Xi Yan expectantly and said, "If you want it, you can have all the treasure in this house!"

For her, money wasn't important; Xi Yan was the most important thing!

Hearing Hancock's words, Grandma Za shook her head helplessly.

However, she didn't say anything, since the Treasure Vault belonged to Hancock, so Hancock could do whatever she wanted with it.

"No, I don't want the treasure here," Xi Yan shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering why you have so little here."

"Oh, I see..."

Hancock was a little disappointed upon hearing this; she had thought that Xi Yan wanted her treasure.

"Alright, stop overthinking," Xi Yan patted Hancock and said, "I'm not short of money."

This time, Hancock didn't say anything, but obediently nodded.

At this moment, Grandma Za said, "I remember you said that you robbed the Celestial Dragons ' Treasure Vault in Mary Geoise, right?"

"Yes, that's why I said I don't lack money."

"The portion of treasure I entrusted to Shakky to handle alone is worth 30 billion!"

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

At this moment, everyone stared at Xi Yan in shock, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

"Three... three hundred billion?!" Grandma Za looked at Xi Yan in shock, unable to believe it. "That much?!"

No wonder Xi Yan said before that their Amazon Lily's Treasure Vault was too poor... Compared to him, it's not that poor at all!

That's 30 billion!

Could the contents of their Amazon Lily Treasure Vault be sold for tens of billions of Beli?

I'm afraid that won't work.

As a result, Xi Yan alone... that's terrifying!

"Are the Celestial Dragons really that rich?" Merry swallowed hard and said.

They had gone to so much trouble to get a few hundred million Beli from that bounty hunter's family, but Xi Yan got three hundred million in one go...

That's outrageous!

How much delicious food could you buy with that?

"The Celestial Dragons are much richer than you can imagine," Xi Yan said.

The combined value of the Treasure Vault of the Seven Celestial Dragons must be around 100 billion.

"Xi Yan, you're amazing!" Hancock said, her eyes sparkling.

To dare steal money from the Celestial Dragons ' Treasure Vault... only the Xi Yan would dare to do that!

"That's right, my Brother-in-law Lord is really amazing!"

Sander Sonia and Marguerite also showed expressions of admiration, their expressions somewhat excited.

Daring to rob the Celestial Dragons ' Treasure Vault... No wonder he's their Brother-in-law Lord!

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning."

Xi Yan smiled and said, "Besides the part I gave to Shakky-jie, I also robbed quite a few things from the Celestial Dragons."

"Besides?!"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, shock reappeared in the eyes of the group.

Is it really more than 30 billion?

Isn't this... a bit too much?!

"Of course." Xi Yan nodded and said, "I've robbed quite a few Celestial Dragons ' Treasure Vault, how could I only have 30 billion?"

After saying that, Xi Yan took out a scroll from his Ninja Tool Bag.

Then, he squatted down and took out some gold, silver, jewels, and ornaments from the scroll, as well as the gifts he had bought for Hancock and the others in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Bang!"

Hancock's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden appearance of the pile of things in front of her.

"This... so much?!" Hancock exclaimed in shock.

This is far more valuable than anything in her Treasure Vault!

"Do you like it?" Xi Yan asked with a smile.

Hancock paused for a moment, then said, "Are these all for me?"

"Apart from the gifts for them, everything else is yours," Xi Yan nodded.

Hancock paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Xi Yan with teary eyes and said, "Xi Yan... you've been so good to me!"

Although she wasn't particularly interested in gold and jewelry, it didn't mean she couldn't see their value!

She knew all too well what it meant to be willing to give her treasures worth over 10 billion... or even tens of billions at once.

At this moment, Hancock once again felt the importance that Xi Yan placed on her.

"You're my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?" Xi Yan said with a smile.

In short, it moved Hancock to tears.

"You're really generous, young man," Grandma Za exclaimed. "You gave away so much all at once."

With this money, Hancock wouldn't need to go out and plunder anymore.

Just then, Hancock said, "Xi Yan, if you give me all this treasure, what will you do with it?"

"Yes, Brother-in-law Lord, what are you going to do?" Marguerite also said.

To deal with the pursuit two years later, my Brother-in-law Lord will need to spend money to buy Devil Fruit.

All of this money was given to my Older Sister Lord, so where would my brother-in-law get any more?

"Don't worry, I have plenty of money," Xi Yan said. "Besides this, I also have a lot of gold and Beli."

"Alright then." Hancock nodded. "I'll accept it."

"However... you can take these things with you whenever you need them."

As she spoke, Hancock pointed to the pile of treasure, then to the treasure that was already in the room, saying, "You can take those too."

In Hancock's view, what belonged to Xi Yan was rightfully hers, so she wouldn't feel bad about spending the money.

After all... all she cared about from beginning to end was Xi Yan!

"Don't worry, I won't hesitate to ask if you need anything," Xi Yan said with a smile.

Hancock is his wife, so if there's a real need, he won't stand on ceremony with her.

"That would be perfect."
