To get Hachinosu, he would have to offer something of equal value that the Beasts Pirates wanted. But what could equal Hachinosu in value?
This deal was going to fall through!
"Jihahahaha, certainly, certainly!"
Good beamed.
With a little thought, he could guess why Golden Lion wanted Hachinosu. That was also the island's greatest value.
As for Golden Lion becoming one of the Four Emperors, it would have little impact on him. The World Government would be the one with a headache.
The biggest reason the World Government could not go all out against him was that other powers held it in check, especially the Four Emperors.
With two of the Four Emperors' seats now vacant, he was actually rather anxious too. The sooner those vacancies were filled, the greater the pressure on the World Government, and the less pressure Hoenn would face.
At most, Boss Kaido would have a bit of a headache.
Good's expression grew considerably more serious.
"Mr. Shiki, you're a veteran of the seas. You know Hachinosu's value better than anyone. Every pirate in the New World has their eyes on Hachinosu now. Whoever makes the first move will gain the advantage!"
"."
Shiki was stunned.
A moment ago, Good had called him an old geezer. Now he was calling him a veteran.
Wasn't that change in attitude a little too fast?
Good rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.
"So, what price are you offering?"
"Well..."
Shiki hesitated.
He could not bring himself to say it!
He had only prepared five billion Beli!
After a moment's hesitation, Shiki spread all five fingers.
Good's eyes lit up at the sight.
"Fifty billion Beli?"
"F-five..."
Shiki's face twitched.
Even selling their entire pirate crew would not fetch fifty billion Beli!
"F-five billion Beli!"
"Five billion?!"
