Pirates Never Work Overtime

In front of the ruins of the royal palace.

Kobra arranged for guards to urgently build a temporary palace.

Morse, Smoker, and Gnar sat on the temporary wooden chairs placed on both sides. Kobra sat in the main seat, looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Thank you gentlemen for helping to expel Crocodile and restore our small country to its former peace. Small gifts are not disrespectful."

When Cobra called himself a small country, several people rolled their eyes. Alabasta was one of the largest alliance countries in the first half of the Grand Line, yet he still called himself a small country.

It seems that the old saying is true. The richer you are, the more you steal. The same applies to the status of a king. Based on this sentence, it seems that Cobra's private remuneration will not be too much.

Seeing Mers and others rolling their eyes at him, Cobra was not angry because his family knew about his affairs.

If this war hadn't happened before, he could have taken out as much money as he wanted, but now it's no longer possible, and the entire kingdom is in a state of dire straits.

30 million per person already accounts for one-tenth of all the profits seized from Crocodile's rainlands.

Even the reward given to the Straw Hat Pirates was only 50 million, which made his daughter Weiwei very dissatisfied. She really didn't know how valuable food and rice were when she was not a member of the family.

Cobra was thinking in his heart, but he kept saying:

"I know that these small gifts are not looked down upon by several of the officers, but this is all the wealth we can offer at the moment. Mr. Nar, do you still remember what you promised me before?"

Naer was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and then answered easily:

"Well! Our agreement is still valid."

It turns out that after Gnar defeated Robin, he wanted to make a rubbing of the historical text, but Kobra tried his best to stop him from making a rubbing.

And Gnar didn't dare to kill Kobra. After all, the opponent still had the identity of a monarch of a participating country. He could be killed by pirates or even killed by the navy. Weidu could not die at the hands of CP personnel of the World Government.

At least that's the case now. In desperation, he could only have a good negotiation with Kobra, and finally agreed to the other party to cancel the payment for the World Government's support and this year's share of the heavenly gold.

Morse and Smoker had no interest in their private dealings.

The three people opened the suitcase on the table almost at the same time and saw a suitcase full of Bailey.

The reaction was completely different. Mers was very calm and didn't care at all. After all, he had just won 50 million in Yuyan not long ago, and now it was only 30 million, so there was nothing worth getting excited about.

Smoker had the biggest reaction. This trip to Rogge Town was actually arranged by him privately, without the approval of the headquarters. Therefore, all the expenses of the trip must be borne by him personally. From the past two years, he has

The Rogge Town Navy Branch misappropriated a large part of the bounty for capturing pirates. Now with these 30 million, it can be said that his urgent need has been solved at once, and he may even have a surplus.

The moment he opened the box, Gnar's eyes turned into Bailey's, and he was so obsessed with money. He was originally a very greedy person, and this time he lost everything he had in the rain when he first arrived in Alabasta.

With his savings, he was able to get such a large sum of money at this time, which made him jump with excitement.

He originally planned to deduct part of the rescue fee paid by Kobra to make up for this loss, but due to historical reasons, this plan also fell through. Now the sudden 30 million has made him full at once.

The blood is resurrected.

Seeing the performance of the three people, Cobra breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't seem to care about the white looks from the three people just now, he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, he knew the strength of these people. If the other party was not satisfied, he would also lose a lot if he made some small moves before leaving.

prestige.

Strength is everything in this sea. Being able to use this little money to make friendship between the three of them is a good thing for both the future of Alabasta and for his daughter Weiwei to inherit the throne in the future.

"We will prepare a thank you banquet for you later, and we will invite three gentlemen to honor you."

Just as Nal was about to open his mouth to agree, he was pulled by Mers. He looked at Mers doubtfully and swallowed what he was about to say.

Morse picked up his suitcase and gave a military salute to Cobra:

"For your kindness, let's forget about the thank you banquet. Since your country no longer needs our assistance, we will return to the mission and hand in the mission."

At this moment, Mers seemed to have become the leader of Smoker and Gnar. Without asking for their opinions, Mers directly announced that he would leave Alabasta and return home.

Although Smoker and Narr were a little unhappy, they didn't say much at this time. They believed that there must be a reason for Morse to say this.

Cobra opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Then I wish you gentlemen a safe journey and good luck, and I'll send you some good wishes."

After saying that, he sent them out of the palace with a respectful look, and did not stop until they were sent outside Alba.

Seeing the figures of Morse, Smog, Gnar, and the navy escorting Crocodile gradually disappearing, Kobra easily wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Weiwei also walked out from the corner of the city gate at this time: "Father, they shouldn't be coming back!"

Weiwei's tone was a little worried. After all, his friends, the Straw Hat Pirates, had not left yet. She had just been worried that the Straw Hat Pirates' partners would be discovered by Smoker, and then she and her father would be in a dilemma.

Seeing the worried look on his beloved daughter's face, he gently rubbed away Weiwei's frown:

"Don't worry, my princess, those gentlemen are all smart people, especially Mr. White Snake. They have discovered Luffy and the others a long time ago, but they just didn't reveal it."

Then he excitedly said to Weiwei:

"He seems to be a really considerate marine. Let's go! Let's hold a grand banquet for Luffy and the others to thank them for helping us solve this disaster."

Maybe it’s Aiwujiwu! Kobra likes Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates more than Morse and the others, so this banquet was actually held for Luffy and the others from the beginning, and was just a symbolic invitation to Morse and the others.

Morse and Gnar put their one-man boats on Smoker's warship and boarded Smoker's fleet together.

Naer endured it all the way, but after getting on the boat, he couldn't hold it anymore: "Brother Mers, why are you dragging me away? I haven't tasted the feast of the palace yet! What a pity."

Mers was really too lazy to pay attention to him, but he was afraid that he would pester him, so he had no choice but to say:

"You haven't left even after collecting the money, waiting for others to chase you away? And didn't you just see those pirates? As far as I know, their princess Weiwei is also a member of that group of pirates. When the time comes,

Are you planning to take her back together when I meet you? Now that the mission has been completed and you have received such a large amount of benefits, why are you still staying and having a banquet? Fatty, how on earth did you manage to get into the position you are in now."

After hearing Morse's explanation, Nal suddenly realized: "I told you why I didn't find the bastard who beat me before."

In a hurry, he accidentally told the story of being beaten, and quickly continued to explain:

"Haha, I mean that the pirates I beat made a slip of the tongue in excitement. Commander Smoker, I don't know how your chef's skills compare with those of the palace chefs. I'm already hungry and asked him to make something quickly.

Eat it!”

Smoker smoked a cigar and didn't want to talk to Narr at all. The two of them had interacted with each other frequently when they were in Rogue Town.

Although I couldn't say I disliked this fat guy who was a bit talkative, I couldn't say I liked him. I could only be regarded as an acquaintance.

Afraid that Nar would turn into a chatterbox, Smoker quickly yelled: "Shut up, I'll call you when the meal is ready. If I say more nonsense, you'll swim back by yourself." Dasqi set sail and set off for the Navy Headquarters.

."

Mers smiled softly. It was true that one thing brought another down. It seemed that Nal, the fat guy, was often dealt with by Smoker.

"Thank you! Mers." Smoker walked up to Mers and said thank you stiffly.

Smoker mistakenly thought that Morse decided to let Luffy and others go this time because of him.

He had told Morse before that it was Luffy and his gang who saved his life, and he said that if there was a chance, he would repay Luffy and others for saving his life in the basement of Yuyan, and even this time he would repay the favor.

Such a kindness.

After hearing this, Morse just lit a cigarette and nodded. Of course, it was not for Smoker, he just felt that it was too much trouble to capture Luffy now. Since it was not necessary, why bother to make him work overtime?

As for Smoker's misunderstanding, let's just misunderstand it! It's not a bad thing anyway, and it can be used to kill the other party in the future.

Smoker's fleet moved quickly across the sea.

At the same time, Luffy and others also held a grand banquet under the warm invitation of Cobra and Vivi.
