Half a month later.
Alabasta Guild, in the manor behind.
Nami was humming a little tune, walking in her orange orchard, spinning the elf wand casually in her hand, and suddenly reached out to pick an orange.
"Nami."
At this moment, a figure appeared outside the orange grove.
Nami turned her head while holding the orange, tilted her head and said, "It's Robin. Today's weather is perfect for a walk."
Since Ron increased the number of magicians before, Nami's work has been reduced a bit, and Robin is no longer responsible for the manufacture of magic weapons. Although maintaining the operation of the entire guild requires a lot of energy, in general, free time is more A little more.
"Is the president practicing?"
Robin didn't show any signs of relaxation, but looked at Nami and asked.
"He... um."
Nami thought for a moment, restrained herself, and then nodded in response.
But at this moment, Ron's voice sounded in the field.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about a commission..."
Robin spoke to Ron, his expression slightly solemn.
Nami noticed Robin's expression, and the smile on her face gradually faded, and said, "What happened, Robin."
Robin did not explain immediately, but said: "Come here."
Nami was slightly startled, followed Robin, and soon arrived at an office in the Albarez Guild.
This office is very clean and tidy, but there is a blood-stained pocket on the table. The pocket is open, and some banknotes and gold coins can be vaguely seen inside.
The banknotes were very messy, with all denominations and a lot of stains.
"This is a commission sent by a woman. After submitting the commission, she committed suicide." Robin looked at Nami and spoke slowly.
When Nami heard this, her eyes suddenly changed slightly.
Ron's voice also sounded in the room, saying: "What is the specific situation?"
Robin took out a stack of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and said slowly: "The money here totals 1.9 million beli, and the commission submitted by that woman is to assassinate the 'Golden Emperor' Tezzolo!”
"Why?"
Nami was shocked.
Albarez will also take on some assassination missions. The targets of the missions cannot be princes and nobles, but they can be bosses of some underground gangs, etc.
The leaders of the underground forces who were entrusted with the assassination were generally not very strong. The strongest among them had the strength of a pirate with a bounty of tens of millions or one or two hundred million on the sea.
Even so, the price of assassination is very high, basically starting from millions of beli.
And Tezzolo is simply not on the same level as those people.
If you want to count, Tezzolo should be regarded as one of the emperors of the underground world, and he is the master of both black and white, and he is the person who controls the most money in the world.
Ignoring the power that Tezzolo possesses and only dividing it according to the corresponding levels, the price to assassinate Tezoro would have to be at least one billion beli.
The assassination of Tezzolo with 1.9 million beli is undoubtedly a bit of a fantasy.
"After the people below received this commission, they originally planned to reject it directly, but after the woman submitted the commission, she just swallowed poison and committed suicide."
Robin continued to state, saying: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing. The people below didn't know how to deal with it, so they reported it to me, so I asked them to investigate the origin of the client."
"When the client was young, the village was plundered by pirates, and some of her people, including her, were sold as slaves by the pirates. Tezzolo paid for her."
"As the emperor of the underground world and the entertainment industry, Tezzolo has countless such slaves under his command. Some of them are good-looking and will be sold to nobles and upper-class figures, while others are kept and used as maids."
"Something happened after that. Her best friend offended Tezzolo for some trivial matter and was tortured and killed in public. She was also severely punished, almost died and was thrown into the sea."
Speaking of this, Robin shook his head and said: "But she survived and was rescued by a passing merchant ship... After that, she began to think of every way to make money. Some of the money she stole, some of which she sold her body for. , not long ago she found out that she was terminally ill, and that’s what happened next.”
Hearing this, Nami's face was filled with anger.
"hateful!"
"What a bastard."
Robin was not surprised by Nami's reaction. She didn't pay attention to Nami, but asked Ron: "President, what do you think?"
Ron was silent for a few seconds and said: "Since it was the intelligence you collected, it shouldn't be wrong. Tezzolo does have a violent personality and can do such a thing. Do you mean to accept this commission? "
Robin said nothing.
Nami took a deep breath and said to the side: "A friend of mine contacted me not long ago. She is now at Tezolo. She also told me some similar things and wanted to invite me to steal Tezolo together. the property of."
"You agreed?"
Ron flew to the side, occupied a puppet body, and glanced at Nami.
Nami curled her lips and said: "How can we directly agree to deal with such a troublesome thing as Tezoro, even though that guy is indeed very rich..."
If it were in the past, she might have hesitated for a long time, but now she is Albarez's cadre. Once she takes action, it represents Albarez's action. Besides, Ron is also meditating and practicing in her spiritual space. Can't agree casually.
Ron smiled softly.
Nami and Robin, one because of pirates and the other because of the government, were both orphaned at a very young age, and they obviously both relate to and resonate with this matter.
Although Robin did not speak, the meaning expressed in his tone and expression was that he naturally wanted to make an exception and accept this commission.
It's just that dealing with Tezolo is of great importance and must be decided by Ron.
"How are the recent fund flows?"
Ron did not answer immediately, but asked Nami first.
Nami shook her head and said: "Some problems have arisen recently. The world government is restricting our purchase of Devil Fruits and Sea Tower Stones. As a result, the price of Sea Tower Stones is constantly rising, and the market price of Devil Fruits is also doubling. Normal operation can Maintain it, but it’s not enough to buy large amounts of sea floor stones anymore.”
"That's it...then just accept this commission."
Ron thought for a moment and then spoke casually.
He didn't have as much emotion as Nami about the matter itself. The reason was very simple. The Celestial Dragons were far more hateful than Tezoro. If he had started a crime after hearing about this matter, then he should have stopped at this moment. Ten or eight Celestial Dragons were killed in Xiangbodi.
The underground world is always dark, especially in this world where slaves exist. There are too many such things.
