"You're the bastard who bought the Overlord Blade on credit?" After learning Baozi's identity, Ouji IV recalled the matter.
When he was young, he had heard his grandfather, Ouji II, talk about Francis Bao. He had also remembered how that pirate had bought a Great Grade Blade from Ouji II without paying for it.
"What do you mean, bought it on credit? Didn't I come with money today?" Baozi said unhappily, pointing at William to indicate that he had come to repay the debt. Even without Baozi pointing at him, William knew Baozi meant for him to help pay it back. After all, Baozi had boarded the ship with nothing to his name.
Since they had come for a Supreme Grade Blade, William could only obediently pay off Baozi's old debt. At the same time, he cursed inwardly. Was this bastard really a pirate with an 800 million Beli bounty from the World Government? He even had to owe money to buy a sword.
"With eight years of interest, that comes to a total of 50,000 Beli! Pay up!" Ouji IV took out an abacus and clattered away, calculating the eight years of interest Baozi owed as well.
"Why are you looking at me? This bastard is the one who owes the money!" Upon hearing that the total with interest was 50,000 Beli, William immediately distanced himself from Baozi. The three famous blades Zoro carried—Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Yubashiri—probably had not even cost that much altogether. Besides, Zoro did not have that much money either.
"I don't have any money!" Baozi not only admitted that he was penniless, but also brought up their partnership. "Aren't we partners? Don't fuss over something like this!"
"But where am I supposed to find fifty million Beli?" William grabbed Baozi by the throat,
