Skypiea: God Gan Fall and the Shandians / Skypiea: Lin Mo Refuses to Return to the Blue Sea
Buggy stepped forward and slammed another fist into Mohji's head. "Idiot! We have to pay the entry fee!"
"Huh?" Tears streamed down Mohji's face. Clutching the spot Buggy had hit, he said miserably, "Captain Buggy, aren't you the greediest one here? Why are you handing over money just because they told you to? Four billion! Where are we supposed to get that much?"

She had barely finished
