When the Soaring Dragon landed and Ryan and the others followed Buggy to where the treasure was stored, everyone was stunned.
Ryan even felt the urge to rob Buggy. Of course, that was exactly what he did.
"Buggy! Tell me, aren't we good friends?" Ryan moved closer, draping an arm around Buggy's shoulders with an intimate look as he tried to make his tone gentler.
"I guess so!" Seeing his treasure again, Buggy did not even look at Ryan as he answered casually.
"Mm, since we are, how about letting me keep it for you?"
"Sure."
"No!!!" Buggy realized what he had said the moment the words left his mouth. He stared at Ryan warily, blocking him like a husky guarding its food.
"Don't worry, I won't keep it for free! There'll be interest!"
Without giving Buggy time to react, Ryan continued, "Honestly, I only didn't take it because we're friends. Otherwise, according to the rules of the sea, Cross Guild lost, so all of this should belong to me, right?"
"Even though I'm really unhappy about it, I can't find any reason to refute that," Buggy muttered.
"Exactly! Besides, you can't use all this treasure anyway! Wouldn't leaving it here be a waste?"
"That's true!" Without realizing it, Buggy had already fallen into Ryan's rhythm.
First, Ryan told him that the money did not actually belong to him, but because they were good friends, he could still keep it. The initiative was in Ryan's hands. After that, things became easy—he only needed to appeal to Buggy's emotions and reason. Ryan had always been someone who convinced people through virtue!
Robbery? What a low-class thing to do. His goal was the sea of stars!
"Then what do you suggest?" Under someone else's roof, one had no choice but to bow
