The climate of Grand Line is so unpredictable.
The hailstorm lasted less than two minutes, and the weather cleared up.
For Shusuke and Herald, it is the first time to visit Blue Sea, and everything about the Blue Sea is very novel.
In order not to surprise them all the time, Kaku gave them a few days of common sense lessons on the way to Sabaody.
Unlike someone who only knows how to argue, fortunately, both of them have quick minds and strong receptive abilities. In just a few days, they were able to roughly understand the situation at the Blue Sea.
On the sixth day after Sky Island came down, Sabaody appeared in everyone's sight.
Since Inkman itself is very large and looks very high-profile in general, in order not to attract the attention of the navy, Lin Mo specially asked Enel to park Inkman at the Coconut Island that he had visited before with Shirahoshi.
After opening Inkman's protective grid, Kaku, who was in charge of Inkman's financial power, rented a Small Boat. The group took the Small Boat and spent half a day successfully arriving at Sabaody.
We all went to Shakky's Bar together first. When we saw a large group of people coming, Shakky even joked a few more words.
Rayleigh and Shakky said hello and went out to have fun.
When Perona saw Lin Mo and the others, it was like seeing relatives. He directly ignored Lin Mo and Enel, and rushed towards Kaku. He cried and said, "Kaku-chan, I miss you so much, woo woo woo~"
Kaku originally wanted to avoid it, but when he saw that Perona was coming towards him, after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of avoiding it. When Perona rushed towards her, he raised his hand and held her head down.
Perona wants to move forward, but can't. "Ah ah ah, what are you doing?"
Kaku laughed dryly and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little used to it. Hahaha, it seems that you are doing well and you have gained weight."
When he heard that he was fat, Perona puffed up his cheeks and said with an unhappy face, "Ah, it's true, I'm not fat, you're hallucinating!"
Kaku asked strangely, "But your face is rounder than when I last saw you. Isn't that why you're still not fat?"
Perona turned away angrily.
Seeing that Perona was angry, Kaku was very incomprehensible.
Is it bad to be fat?
He wished that Lin Mo could eat a little fatter, but Lin Mo just had a physique that would not make him fat.
Why is she so unhappy when she says Perona is fat?
Woman, it's so strange...
But in order to verify whether he really said something wrong, Kaku looked at Lin Mo and the others and asked, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Lin Mo shook his head.
Enel looked disdainful. "I, Thunder God, have already said that Perona is a weirdo, but you still don't believe it."
Herald didn't understand either. "I personally think, Kaku, what you said is fine."
Shusuke thought for a while and shook his head like Lin Mo: "I think it's okay too."
Shakky held a cigarette in his mouth and chuckled, "Look, Perona, you'd better stay here with me."
Chapter 896 Sabaody: Bargain
Of course, Perona feels very tired for the straight men in the Lin Mo boat.
However, she still wanted to go out for adventure more than staying in this small bar.
Moreover, Rayleigh also promised to help her catch Doflamingo.
"By the way, I almost forgot about this!" Perona immediately chased outside the bar, "Uncle Rayleigh, you promised me, come back and take me to find Doflamingo!"
However, as soon as she chased him to the door, Lin Mo stopped her. "Stop chasing him, I will take you to find him."
"Ah?" Perona suddenly stopped and looked back at Lin Mo in confusion.
Even Kaku and the others found it a bit incredible.
Perona asked in disbelief, "Captain, do you know where Doflamingo is?"
"I know." Lin Mo said calmly, "I can help you catch him. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay on the ship."
Anyway, in more than a month, that guy will be summoned by the World Government to Marineford.
Although Perona is still very surprised, he is already happy in his heart. "Okay! Captain, is everything you said true? After I have avenged my revenge, can I really stay on the ship?"
Lin Mo nodded lightly.
Shakky said with a half-smile, "Are you leaving so soon? I really can't bear to leave you. My bar hasn't been so lively for a long time. How about you guys hang out at Sabaody for a few more days before leaving?"
Everyone thought that Lin Mo would reject Shakky, even Shakky himself thought so.
Then, something unexpected happened. Lin Mo didn't even think about it and readily agreed, "Okay, then stay here for one more week. During this period, Aunt Xia, do me a favor."
Shakky asked curiously, "What else do you want me to check for you?"
Lin Mo continued, "Poneglyph stone tablet, I am collecting this."
A look of surprise flashed in Shakky's eyes, and he quickly returned to his original state. "The stone tablet recording Poneglyph. I actually know that there are several places with this thing, but my information is not cheap."
"Money is not an issue." Lin Mo said boldly.
Shakky curled his lips and continued, "I now have information about three Poneglyph stone tablets, two of which are in Grand Line and one is in New World, I also have Log Pose that goes to these three places. If you want it, I'll give you a cheaper price, one Log Pose is ten million Beli."
"Okay." Lin Mo said expressionlessly, "Since Perona allows you to work for free for a year, give me a 10% discount."
Perona was extremely surprised. "Huh?"
Kaku and Enel look like I knew they would look like this.
Shusuke and Herald looked confused.
Shakky chuckled and said, "I guessed that you would bargain, but I didn't expect you to bargain so hard. Well, for Perona's sake, I can give you another discount, up to 40% off. One Log Pose costs six million Beli, which is already very cheap."
Lin Mo continued to say unhurriedly, "Looking at Perona's face, I'm offering a 40% discount. What about Rayleigh?"
"Rayleigh What does that guy's affairs have to do with me?" Shakky said with a smile, "If you want money, go to him yourself. His account is his business."
"Aunt Xia." Lin Mo suddenly asked back, "My name is Rayleigh. I call you Aunt Xia directly. You are the only person in the world who I call you that. You want six million, okay. I will not call you Aunt Xia again in the future."
"Good boy, when did you become such a trickster?" Shakky put out the cigarette in his hand and continued, "How much is a title worth?"
Lin Mo chuckled and said, "It depends on who calls whom. If you don't mind me calling you by your first name, I don't care. I can take out six million."
Shakky stared at Lin Mo for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you win this time, then I will give you a 50% discount on the basis of six million, three million for each Log Pose."
"Okay." Lin Mo nodded lightly, "You just asked us to stay here for a few more days. It was your invitation. So, Aunt Xia, you've taken care of all the food and lodging for us for the past few days. Is that okay?"
Shakky was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Not only have you talked more, but you have also become more and more shrewd, and all your plans have fallen on you Aunt Xia. Okay, I'll take care of it, okay? I really can't do anything to you. Are you satisfied now?"
Lin Mo nodded lightly. "Our accounts have been settled, let's settle Perona's accounts next."
Shakky held the side of his face with one hand and stared at Lin Mo with a half-smile, "Then tell me, what other debts do I have with Perona?"
Lin Mo asked in reply, "What is the purpose of Perona staying with you to work?"
Shakky replied, "As a price for me to help her find Doflamingo."
Lin Mo continued, "You didn't find it, but I know the whereabouts of Doflamingo, so the mutually beneficial relationship between you is not established."
Shakky asked funnyly, "Then what?"
Lin Mo chuckled and said, "Since the mutually beneficial relationship is not established, Perona has worked for you for nearly a year. You have to pay her monthly salary, right?"
Shakky thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense. So, how much do you think I should pay her per month?"
Lin Mo suddenly looked at Kaku.
Kaku was shocked and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Lin Mo: "Kaku, you do the math."
Kaku laughed dryly, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Well, I have to do some calculations. I will use the restaurants and bars I have been to before as a reference. The monthly salary of a waiter in an ordinary bar is about 80,000 to 100,000. Beli, a better bar costs between 150,000 and 200,000 Beli, and a month's salary in a more luxurious bar is more than 300,000 Beli."
Kaku paused for a moment and continued, "What I just calculated is the salary level of ordinary people. If you have special abilities, your salary will normally be doubled to three times. If you do a lot of work and have special abilities, it is normal to increase your salary by four or five times."
"So?" Shakky turned his attention to Kaku, still smiling and asked, "Then how much salary do you think I should give Perona?"
Seeing Shakky staring at him with a smile, Kaku's pressure doubled. "If it is based on the market price, Aunt Xia your bar is still a very good bar even if it is not particularly luxurious. People who work here can earn up to two hundred thousand Beli a month." is considered normal. Perona is Devil Fruit User, which is considered a person with special abilities. In addition, she must do a lot of work here. We don't count the extra work. Let's triple it. Her monthly salary should be 600,000 Beli."
After Kaku finished speaking, Lin Mo continued, "She hasn't done it for a full year. Even if she does it for ten months, the total is six million Beli. I am her Captain, her money is my money, just give it to me. The three Log Pose total nine million Beli. After deducting six million, I only need to give you another three million."
After the calculation, Lin Mo didn't even give Shakky a chance to speak, and directly said to Kaku, "Kaku, give me the money."
Kaku reacted immediately and took out a stack of Beli and a few pieces of gold from his Tool Bag: "I didn't bring too much Beli. With these golds, three million should be enough."
Chapter 897 Sabaody: Perona's doubts
No one has ever been able to bargain with Shakky over and over again.
Originally, Shakky could refuse to acknowledge the debt, or use various reasons to lower the salary that should be paid to Perona, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
"There's really nothing I can do against you shrewd little devils." Shakky said with a smile, "Then let's go with what you said, three million is three million. I'll take these three Log Pose."
As she spoke, she took out three semi-new Log Pose from under the table.
After Lin Mo borrowed Log Pose, he looked it over and then asked, "You just said that there are two at Grand Line. How far are those two places from Sabaody?"
Shakky replied casually, "I can't say for sure about the specific time, but your Flying Ship does fly much faster than those ships sailing in the sea. According to my estimation, using your Flying Ship, the nearest island can be reached in two weeks at the latest, and the round trip is almost a month. The one-way trip to the island a little further away is estimated to be more than 20 days."
If they follow what Shakky said, then they should go to the nearby island first to get Poneglyph, and the round trip time would be enough.
After thinking about it, Lin Mo nodded and responded, "Okay, I understand. Let's rest in Sabaody for three days, and then set off to find Poneglyph in three days."
"Okay." Shakky pointed to the Log Pose held by Lin Mo in his left hand, "That's the pointer. Don't go the wrong way."
After Lin Mo nodded, he handed all Log Pose to Kaku.
Kaku carefully collected the three Log Pose.
Perona couldn't help but ask, "Captain, you said you wanted to help me catch Doflamingo, why did you go to Poneglyph first?"
"Where did you come from with so much nonsense?" Enel said dissatisfied, "He already said he would catch you, so what are you worried about?"
"Perona, you have to believe Captain." Kaku followed, "Captain will definitely do what it promises."
Perona said aggrievedly, "Okay, I understand..."
The conversation changed, and Perona turned his attention to Shusuke and Herald: "Oh, I didn't expect that there are new people on our ship. I remember Captain said that there will be no weak people on the ship, so these two people should be very strong."
As he spoke, Perona suddenly laughed strangely, then raised his hand, and several Negative Hollow emerged from his arms and flew towards Shusuke and Herald.
Although they didn't know what the thing flying towards them was, looking at the appearance of those Negative Hollow, Shusuke and Herald, they knew it was not something good.
Herald immediately flapped the wings on his back and seemed to dodge with Shusuke.
"Put me down." Shusuke opened Herald's hand and fell back to the ground. "Taking me with you will only affect your speed."
"Master, it's okay with me." As soon as Herald said this, a Negative Hollow passed through his body with a 'swish'.
Then, as if his body no longer belonged to him, Herald landed on the ground and suddenly fell to his knees, feeling completely dejected and without any fighting ability.
"Herald!" Shusuke just called him, and Negative Hollow immediately passed through his chest.
Shusuke stopped and touched the part penetrated by Negative Hollow, frowning involuntarily.
Perona was feeling proud that Herald had been hit, but when he saw that Shusuke was completely fine, the smile on his face gradually froze, "How is this possible! Why are you fine?"
Shusuke looked at Perona expressionlessly. "What did you do to Herald!"
Perona gritted his teeth and released dozens of Negative Hollow again, all flying towards Shusuke.
When all those Negative Hollow passed through Shusuke's body and still did not have any impact on him, Perona was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. "Ah? What the hell is going on? Why are my Negative Hollow useless? Impossible, there must be a mistake somewhere. Who are you?"
If the opponent's strength is overwhelmingly stronger than Perona, then Perona will suffer backlash.
In addition, there is another kind of person who can ignore her Negative Hollow attacks, and that is someone who is very negative.
Although Perona has never met someone who is so negative and depressed.
Shusuke Although he always wanted to die before, after becoming a normal person, he almost gave up the idea of dying.
"Why?" Shusuke sneered, "You still want to embarrass me with this little trick? You are lucky, I have decided not to kill, but if you hurt Herald, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape the crime of living."
As he said this, Shusuke walked up to Perona, raised his hand and pinched Perona's neck.
Perona was startled and immediately kicked Shusuke.
Then, with a 'bang' sound, Shusuke was kicked out by her and hit the wooden wall of Shakky bar hard. She vomited blood after falling.
"Uh... huh?" Perona blinked, "What, why are you so weak... I thought you were strong."
