Chapter 26 Selling and Finding a Ship.

Chapter 26.

Time flew like fine sand.

On the pirate side of the world, Suzuki has arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time!"

The ship has reached the port of Sabaody, and Suzuki is saying his final goodbyes to the hired sailors.

"Hahaha, you're too polite, Mr. Suzuki. You paid us, so it's what we're supposed to do."

Several sailors also expressed their gratitude to Suzuki; they actually made quite a bit of money on this trip, as Suzuki gave each of them 100,000 Berries.

To earn so much Berries in just a month, the sailors felt that although the journey was tough, it was worth it.

"Anyway, I really appreciate you all! Here, you can count the remaining money." Suzuki smiled gently and handed over the remaining payment to the sailors.

During the month-long sea voyage, they occasionally encountered storms and rough seas.

But the sailors he hired were quite experienced, easily navigating through those areas, and they never complained, always diligent and responsible.

"Alright, thank you, no need to count. Hahaha, then Mr. Suzuki, we'll disembark here. Goodbye!"

The sailors clearly trusted Suzuki, believing that someone like him wouldn't cheat them over such a small amount of money. After receiving the payment, they bid farewell directly.

Suzuki wore a smile and politely waved goodbye.

After the sailors left, Suzuki also disembarked and set foot on the ground of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The scenery here was very peculiar!

Bubbles emerge from the ground and float into the air.

These bubbles were also the biggest feature of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The archipelago consists of many mangrove trees, and the ground of the island is formed by the roots of these trees.

The roots of the mangrove trees secrete a special natural resin due to respiration, and the resin forms these beautiful bubbles when it expands in the air.

As Suzuki walked along the streets of Sabaody, he saw many items and tools related to bubbles.

Such as bubble cars, bubble ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles, and so on.

The Sabaody Archipelago is made up of 79 mangrove trees, each with its own number, and the area divisions are also based on these numbers.

For example, Suzuki is currently at the port of area 53, where there are many shipyards, coating factories, and so forth.

While admiring the peculiar scenery around him, he was looking for merchant ships heading to the West Sea and also seeing if he could sell his own ship for a good price.

Not long after, he still had yet to found a merchant ship to the West Sea but did find a second-hand ship dealer.

Accompanied by a second-hand ship dealer in his 40s or 50s, Suzuki returned to the dock where his ship was moored.

He pointed to the vessel that had carried him for a month and calmly said:

"This ship is brand new; I just bought it for 50 million Berries! Now, I'll sell it to you for 45 million!"

"50 million? Sir, you must have been cheated. This ship is worth at most 20 million Berries! Where did you buy it, sir?"

The second-hand ship dealer clearly didn't believe such nonsense, directly slashing the price by more than half and attempting to coax Suzuki into revealing more information about the ship to negotiate a better deal.

Suzuki wore a gentle smile, looking at the second-hand ship dealer: "If you don't want this ship, I can sell it to someone else."

"If you don't make this money, I can only feel sorry for you."

"Let's settle on a fixed price; you name a number, and I'll see if I can meet my expectations."

The second-hand ship dealer didn't appear flustered by Suzuki's sudden directness and calmly responded: "Okay, sir. This ship does look good, but it really is only worth at most 30 million!"

"Speaking of second-hand, I also need to make money, right? Twenty-five million, if you want to sell, I will pay you directly!"

Suzuki was not surprised. This ship was originally bought for thirty million, and going from the initial twenty million to the current twenty-five million is already a good recovery price.

People in this line of work have been doing it for many years, and if they don't even know how much the ship is worth, they would have switched careers long ago.

So he calmly said to the second-hand boat dealer, "Okay. But you have to do me a favor!"

"I need to go to the West Sea soon, find me a merchant ship that goes to the West Sea. The travel expenses can be discussed, but it must be fast and safe!"

The second-hand boat dealer was clearly very happy. After this transaction, he could at least make two hundred thousand berries.

He responded cheerfully to Suzuki's request, "Hahaha, alright, young man. I'll go get the money for you right away!"

"There are currently no ships going to the West Sea."

"However, I'm somewhat familiar with this information; usually, there is a merchant ship going to the West Sea every week."

"If you don't mind, could you give me the number of the Den Den Mushi? Once a merchant ship heads to the West Sea, I will notify you immediately!"

Suzuki nodded, feeling that the Den Den Mushi would definitely be useful in the future. He then asked the second-hand boat dealer, "Is there a place nearby that sells those bugs? What's the price generally?"

The second-hand boat dealer pointed to the right: "About three hundred meters that way, there's a shop. The price isn't too expensive, usually around two to three hundred thousand barries each, but some expensive ones can go up to five hundred thousand barries."

Suzuki quickly arrived at the Den Den Mushi specialty store.

The Den Den Mushi here were divided into many types: some could only receive calls, while others could record, stream, or display images, and there were even ones that were anti-eavesdropping.

Suzuki bought two, one for communication and one for video, spending over a hundred thousand barries.

Originally, he wanted to buy more to take back to the naruto world for research.

But the owner of the Den Den Mushi kindly reminded Suzuki that sometimes Den Den Mushi are easy to take care of, but at other times, they can be hard, and they are the type of pets that need careful attention, so buying too many could lead to death due to negligence.

Suzuki thought about it; there was indeed mention of this in the original story, so he only bought two, preparing to bring back a few more when there was a chance.

When he returned to the docking area, the second-hand boat dealer had already packed the money and handed the box to Suzuki.

Suzuki took the money box, opened it to check, and indeed it was twenty-five million barries, not a note less.

He then closed the box and gave the number of the Den Den Mushi he just bought to the second-hand boat dealer. At the same time, Suzuki also requested the second-hand boat dealer's Den Den Mushi number and instructed him to notify him immediately when he noticed a merchant ship heading to the West Sea.

Afterwards, Suzuki had no plans to wander around the Island, so he found a guesthouse to stay in the 53rd district.

Three days later, the Den Den Mushi rang with news about a merchant ship from the West Sea.
