"Ha ha ha ha."
Kazu saw Cobra's expression and burst into laughter a few times.
"It seems my suggestion has put King Cobra in a difficult position."
Cobra, Pell, and Chaka on the opposite side looked speechless.
You know you're making things difficult for people? You start talking about tens of digits in Beli, do you think you're a grain of sand in the desert?
"How about this, I'll give you a different suggestion."
"My pirate flag flies on the first street of the business district in Alubarna West; that area is under my protection."
"From now on, all the tax revenue from this street will belong to me. If anyone causes trouble on this street, they are disrespecting the Blond Hair Pirates."
"If it's just ordinary people causing trouble, then King Cobra will handle it on my behalf. I'll split the street's tax revenue fifty-fifty with you as payment."
"If you encounter anything you can't handle, just call me. I'll leave a Den Den Mushi here."
"I imagine you've all seen my bounty poster. The title ' Space Demon' isn't for nothing. I'll leave a spatial imprint, so no matter where I am, I can appear in Alabasta in the next second."
As soon as Kazu finished speaking, Cobra's eyes lit up.
This isn't a robbery; this is clearly a good older brother who's come to protect you.
Cobra had already made up his mind: tomorrow he would use his own savings to buy a house on that street for his daughter Vivi to live in.
Now it seems he really misunderstood the other party.
The Blond Hair Pirates were really just here for fun. How could such chivalrous people be ambitious schemers coveting Pluton?
As king, Cobra was certainly not as ignorant as ordinary commoners. He knew that this vast and boundless sea was not only home to vicious and shameless villains, but also to chivalrous and righteous adventurers like Kazu.
It seems I've had incredible luck, encountering someone like this today.
Although Chaka and Pell understood what Kazu meant, they still instinctively expressed their doubts.
"Your Majesty, this man is ultimately a pirate; his words cannot be entirely trusted."
"That's right, Your Majesty. Please reconsider."
Pell and Chaka remained wary of Kazu, fearing that the other was using words to lower their guard.
If they were to suddenly attack King Cobra while they were off guard, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No, I trust Kazu."
Cobra remained steadfast, a smile on his face, and he felt much more relaxed.
"Lord Kazu possesses a subtle yet undeniable aura of royalty; such a person would disdain lying."
Cobra's confidence made Kazu think more highly of him.
As expected of the king of a superpower, his judgment of people is truly exceptional.
"Old Kou, you have a truly discerning eye."
"How about this, seeing is believing, hearing is believing."
"Let me prove my words with my actions."
"Come with me."
Kazu led his crew toward the town gate.
They haven't gone far from here, and it won't take them long to get out again.
Although Cobra and the others didn't know what Kazu was up to, they still followed him with their men.
In about ten minutes, the group arrived outside the town. All around was golden desert, and there was nothing else. Cobra and the others had no idea why Kazu had brought them here.
"Hey you two, take a good look at the evidence I'm showing you."
Kazu glanced back at Pell and Chaka, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if the Dragon King himself had returned.
"Oh dear, he's going to fall for it again."
Carlmand felt that Kazu had a disease where he would die if he didn't show off.
But you can't say anything yet, because what he's about to do is indeed the most powerful and convincing evidence.
"Haha, Captain Kazu, you're going to strike a cool pose later."
Behrens pulled out a camera from somewhere, ready to take a commemorative photo at any moment.
"Well done, Behrens. I'll double your activity budget later."
Kazu's gaze toward Behrens revealed admiration.
Who says this kid is stupid? This lad is shrewd; he deserves double the activity funds.
"What?!"
" Kazu, my good captain, I have a camera too! I want double the activity funds too!"
Carlmand was just a moment ago envying and resenting Kazu's ability to show off, but now he's changed his object of envy.
Kazu ignored the clown Carlmand, and took a few steps forward. Under the gaze of more than a thousand people, facing the boundless desert, Kazu's aura suddenly erupted.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken, making one feel immense pressure.
"This is..."
"Is its aura alone already this powerful?"
Chaka and Pell were shocked; Kazu's strength completely exceeded their expectations.
