This immense wealth, gained through deciphering the remaining Poneglyphs, is closely related to the Straw Hat Pirates; they have found the legendary treasure of a vast kingdom.
Nami, who is materialistic and snobbish, has a good relationship with Chopper and often invites him to bathe together. Because he is a reindeer, he has no interest in human women and prefers to bathe with boys.
Nami, Chopper, and Usopp are later interpreted as the trio of cowards, the weakest in the Straw Hat Pirates, yet they always play a crucial role in key moments. Nami, with her abundant wealth, fully funded Chopper's research, which enabled him to eventually develop the Divine Grace Potion.
Like Nami, everyone else on the ship regarded Chopper as their most important partner. He grew alongside his companions and defeated powerful enemies along the way. Without the groundwork laid by this global voyage, he would not have possessed the medical wisdom of the future, nor would he have been remembered in history.
Chapter 50 Sincerity for sincerity
"Don't dig up my hard-earned money, you bunch of tomb raiders!"
Nami was so startled by the shock that she sat up abruptly, her flustered state startling everyone. No one expected the navigator to wake up so quickly.
The girl with short orange hair looked out the window at the light screen with tears streaming down her face. The light screen was showing a lively scene of treasure being moved. Carts were being used to transport treasure out of the tomb. These people were practically tearing Nami's flesh and blood out of her face.
"Leave some for me, don't take it all!"
The little thief cat, whose only focus was on treasure, never imagined that one day, even in death, his tomb would be disturbed, with his burial goods being hauled away by ship after ship by his descendants.
"This is outrageous! You're even taking the coffin! You bandits are inhuman!"
In the scene on the screen, a group of pilots operated strange machines to lift up the coffin of Nami from the future. This was an entire Adam Tree, weighing several tons, which was easily lifted by several machines. There were also more than twenty Devil Fruits grafted on it, and it was decorated with a bunch of dazzling gems.
Seeing this scene, Nami's heart bled. To have her grave dug up by later generations was a nightmare for her. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have woken up.
"It's all a dream. I'm going back to sleep. This future won't happen; it's definitely not my future."
Clear tears streamed down Nami's pretty face. She closed her eyes and pulled the blanket tighter around herself, pretending that what had just happened had never occurred. The girl's heart was filled with despair; she was in so much pain.
"Did Nami steal all our money? There are so many treasures!"
Usopp had barely uttered a guess when he was met with Nami's iron fist, leaving a large bump on the sniper's head.
"Shut up, that's my own money, it has nothing to do with you, it's all my money!"
Despite her illness, Nami declared the future ownership of her property. Even if her grave was dug up and all her treasures were stolen after her death, all of these treasures were waiting for her in the future, which was a particularly wonderful future for the little thief.
The woman, who longed to pry off a large gemstone and set it in her hand, reverted to her greedy expression, forgetting her earlier sadness and immersing herself in a beautiful fantasy of the future.
"Usopp, use your brain! Even if Nami ends up with 99% of the treasure, if we all divide 1% of the 10 trillion Berries, it'll be enough for us to live on for several lifetimes. Anyone got a cigarette? I'll have one."
When Sanji heard the announcement of Nami on the light screen, the gentleman woke up, thinking that since she had obtained such a huge amount of treasure, he would definitely get a share in it in the future.
Bringing so much treasure back to the Baratie restaurant would certainly be a great honor, and it would also allow for a major expansion of Mr. Zhefu's restaurant—truly killing two birds with one stone.
"Mr. Sanji, your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't smoke or drink."
"Wow, the tanuki is talking!" Sanji exclaimed, startling the cook who jumped out of bed when he saw the blue-nosed creature suddenly speak. He hadn't paid attention to Chopper while he was unconscious.
"I've already said I'm a reindeer, not a raccoon dog!"
Chopper transformed into a two-meter-tall human and used force to push Sanji back onto the bed, lest the patient become agitated and worsen his condition.
Princess Vivi, as the sole heir to the Kingdom of Alabasta, struggled with the simple mathematical problem of comparing ten trillion Berries with her country's treasury, as she had no idea how much money her nation had.
Seeing the princess's troubled expression, Icarum explained, "Your Highness, due to the severe drought in recent years, the country's tax revenue has plummeted. In previous years, the country's tax revenue was roughly 5 billion Berries. 10 trillion Berries is equivalent to the total tax revenue of the Kingdom of Alabasta in 2000."
The Kingdom of Alabasta is a large country with a permanent population of nearly 1000 million and a standing army of 60. The total tax revenue of such a large country over 2000 years is only about the same as the value of Nami's burial goods, giving everyone a concept of a wealth of ten trillion.
"Wow, that's a lot of money! I could eat meat for the rest of my life!"
Luffy was still preoccupied with the food issue. He didn't care much about money. Although he was the captain, he didn't know the cost of living. The Straw Hat Pirates' finances were all in Nami's hands. The others in the ward were not so calm.
"My God, 2000 years of tax revenue, did this wealth just fall from the sky?"
Princess Vivi instantly felt like a pauper. Look at the burial standards displayed on the light screen. The Nefertari family is one of the 20 royal families that created the World Government 800 years ago. Compared to Nami's, she admitted that she was a little envious.
Chopper, who loves cotton candy, was mentally calculating how many cotton candies he could buy with 10 trillion Berries when Dr. Kureha picked him up from behind and placed the little reindeer in Nami's arms on the sickbed.
"Please make sure to take Chopper out to sea; it's such a waste of his life for him to stay on Drum Island."
She then instructed Chopper, "Chopper, I've passed on all my skills to you. Remember to come back and take care of me in my old age. I don't want to be old and unable to walk, still having to treat patients and collect money to support myself. Give me a little of your future treasure; that will be enough for me to live on for the rest of my life."
Chopper: "Huh?"
The witch Kureha is a highly skilled healer, but why don't the people of Drum Island like to see her? It's because this old woman is too expensive to see. Even if the patient doesn't have money, she won't agree to pay on credit. Patients will take whatever they have at home. She only sees patients to make money.
Nami held Chopper tightly in her arms, making Sanji, who was on another hospital bed, extremely envious. He wished he could replace Chopper and feel the warmth of Nami's embrace right now.
Chopper's furry body was very comfortable to hug, and he didn't have any animal smell. Nami, who was sweating profusely, felt a little cold and hugged this source of warmth tightly.
No one noticed that Chopper's eyes were brimming with tears, and his expression was pitiful. He was still not used to Kureha's sudden abandonment and couldn't quite process it.
The observant Kureha noticed the change in Chopper's expression, raised her hand to stroke the little reindeer's head, and said in a gentle tone, "Silly boy, don't overthink it. Going to sea is also your promise to Hiluluk. This group of pirates is very suitable for you. They won't force you to do things you don't want to do. Straw Hat Luffy is a good person, so I feel more at ease entrusting you to him."
Making decisions for their little apprentice to avoid Chopper having to go through the same three visits to the thatched cottage again—this kind of pirate crew with a bright future is something you can only dream of; they're practically a legend.
"Sir, Luffy and I will take good care of you. You're our most important friend."
Nami buried her face in Chopper's little neck. While others pet cats, she was now petting a reindeer. They were both furry creatures anyway, so it didn't matter if she held them in her arms. She had already grown fond of little Chopper. The Going Merry should have had a pet a long time ago.
Chopper, naive and inexperienced, was instantly captivated by the girl's passionate advances. The thought of adventuring at sea with his close friends brought tears of excitement to the little reindeer's eyes, and a smile of his happiest appeared on his lips. He had never been so happy since Hiruluk's death.
Hiluluk would be happy for Chopper in the afterlife.
Chapter 51 It's all business
What kind of adventures will Chopper experience after joining the Straw Hat crew?
Please continue watching in five days: The Dressrosa Incident - The Straw Hat Pirates vs. Doflamingo's Group, a clash of titans!
The light screen creates a brand new poster, in which two figures, one tall and one short, kick each other, showcasing a clash of domineering auras between kings. A tall man draped in flamingos and a short man with a huge scar on his chest and wearing a straw hat are the absolute protagonists of this grand drama.
Below the characters are their names, one being Donquixote Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon, and the other being Monkey D. Luffy. The final outcome of their battle will determine the fate of Dressrosa.
This scene was witnessed by all intelligent beings on the planet. Dressrosa is a country in the latter half of the Grand Line. It is unexpected that even a place like this is not safe. In most people's memory, it is a country where women are passionate and fiery.
The fact that the event, which the light screen calls a major event, with Dressrosa as the main venue, is definitely not a good thing for this country. It is very likely that the entire country will disappear from the sea chart forever, just like Loguetown.
"Young Master, should we take precautions?"
Trebol, with his ugly face and snot running down his nose, was most worried about one thing: the Doflamingo family's most fatal secret, which, once exposed by the light screen, would immediately lead to their annihilation by the World Government.
"I never imagined I'd become a stepping stone for some nobody in the East China Sea. This future is really not kind to me."
Wearing a flamingo coat, Doflamingo leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and smiled while wearing sunglasses. However, the chilling killing intent emanating from him made the executives around him feel the young master's anger.
"Should I hide? I have a bad feeling," a little girl said, eating candy but speaking in a mature tone that didn't match her age at all.
"Sugar, after you're exposed on the light screen, stay close to the young master. There will likely be many people trying to harm you, and I'm afraid I can't protect you alone."
Trebol walked over to Sugar. This strongest member of the Doflamingo family had been the little girl's bodyguard for many years, but today he seemed somewhat powerless.
Sugar, a special executive and Paramecia-type Hobby-Hobby Fruit user, turns any intelligent being she touches into a toy. The unfortunate person who becomes a toy, including their own family, will lose their memory of them and become a black market worker for the Donquixote Family under the manipulation of a little girl.
With the overpowered Devil Fruit ability, Doflamingo wiped out the memories of his enemies—restoration forces, government spies, the Navy, and pirates—covering up the dark past of Dressrosa and making him the biggest arms dealer in the underworld, with close ties to the Yonko Kaido.
"From today onwards, all cadres must be on high alert. I suspect some curious hands will reach out, but we will cut off those who covet us before facing the final judgment of the light screen."
Doflamingo knew he had to get through this ordeal. Relying on his former Celestial Dragon status, he made most of the Marines hesitant to act. The plan of using pirates to fight pirates shown on the screen was very likely being pushed by the future Marines. They were truly a bunch of persistent ghosts.
The officers knew that once their young master fell, the Navy would not let these pirates go. Doflamingo was their only pillar of support in reality and in their hearts, and they would go to the end with him, even if it meant going down with him.
In this somber atmosphere, the beautiful Violet suddenly reported, "Dover, Kaido and King the Wildfire, the Four Emperors, have landed in Dressrosa."
She is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the ability to observe things within a radius of 4,000 kilometers. Any stranger who appears in Dressrosa will fall under her surveillance.
"What's Kaido doing here? The last batch of artificial Devil Fruits has already been shipped. What makes him need to come in person?"
Doflamingo's group does business with the Beasts Pirates in secret, but most of the time the contact person is Queen the Plague. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, doesn't show his face easily. His strongest subordinate, King the Wildfire, spends most of his time guarding Wano Country. What wind blew these two over today?
Let's go greet them.
Doflamingo led his crew out of the palace and waited for the other party's arrival in the open space outside. Faced with such a powerful pirate, this former Celestial Dragon was still willing to lower himself.
A gigantic azure dragon coiled in the sea of clouds, accompanied by a high-ranking officer with jet-black wings. These two were the strongest members of the Beasts Pirates.
A tall, humanoid creature fell from the sky, causing a massive earthquake and raising a huge amount of dust. This height was nothing to him, not even a tickle. Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, appeared before everyone in this manner.
"Kid, it's been a long time! Looks like you're in for some trouble."
Along the way, Kaido transformed into his beast form, maintaining the appearance of a blue dragon as he flew through the sky, while watching the light screen in the sky. He saw that the last scene involved Doflamingo. Since he happened to be passing through Dressrosa, he brought King over to meet his partner.
King the Wildfire landed gracefully on the ground. He was covered in black armor, and the black wings on his back allowed him to fly without using a Devil Fruit ability. He was a race that had never been seen before, and he was covered up completely to avoid being recognized.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Kaido. Our artificial Devil Fruit business will not be affected. I will handle any minor issues myself."
He speaks respectfully to the Four Emperors, but if they want to interfere in Doflamingo's affairs, even if it's Kaido, he won't agree. Being inferior to others is a matter of respecting the strength of the strongest creature. When it comes to face and dignity, he will never back down.
"Kid, you're quite interesting. If you were a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, I'd recruit you into the Beasts Pirates. This is a training manual for Conqueror's Haki, so don't disappoint me!"
Kaido tossed a scroll from his clothes, which Doflamingo caught using his String-String Fruit powers. He opened a corner of the scroll in front of everyone, causing the proud flamingo to exclaim in amazement: "Mr. Kaido, you've really given me a great gift! It's a secret manual on the technique of binding and entanglement. I wonder what I'll have to give in return?"
"As long as you stay here and don't get easily defeated by some newcomers, I need more artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits. This sea is about to become turbulent, and even I will be caught in the storm. The Beasts Pirates must become stronger."
Although Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, has a rather reckless fighting style, he is not all brawn and no brain. On the way, he and King analyzed a scenario: if Doflamingo's forces were to collapse quickly, it would be equivalent to the Beasts Pirates losing an arm.
With the supply of artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits cut off, the sales of Seastone unearthed in Wano Country and firearms produced in factories will be greatly affected in the underworld. Kaido and his crew cannot rebuild the trade network of the underworld in a short time, as there are time costs involved.
Doflamingo had been working in the underground underworld for many years, and given his former status as a Celestial Dragon, the World Government turned a blind eye and was very willing to cooperate with him, becoming the middleman between the two sides. Otherwise, where would the Navy get the high-purity Seastone?
Without the large amount of Seastone provided by the Beasts Pirates, the Navy wouldn't have been able to build Seastone warships. Although it was an act of aiding the enemy, Kaido earned more Berries, which was also to expand the strength of his subordinates.
As long as Kaido doesn't fall, the Marines won't dare attack Wano Country; that easily defensible terrain would just be easy prey for them.
Chapter 52 Blood Earnings
A grand drama is about to unfold, and the director orchestrating this spectacle is hiding on Fuguang Island in the East China Sea. This feeling of deceiving the whole world fills Li Wei with immense pleasure.
