Lin Qi was completely stunned when he saw this scene. He cried because of this. His mental fortitude is not good.
Lin Qi scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled. To be honest, with the other party looking so strange, he couldn't tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. He even had a feeling that he was the bad guy.
I suggested you stop crying for now.
When Nami heard someone tell her not to cry, a sudden feeling of grievance welled up inside her. After all, why did she have to suffer all of this?
"Why? Why are you all bullying me? I had just saved up enough money, why did you have to come out and rob me?"
Lin Qi felt a headache coming on from listening to the other person's voice.
"Nami, shut up!"
As soon as Lin Qi said this, Nami strangely found herself stopping crying, or rather, unable to cry at all. She then stared at Lin Qi with a bewildered expression. This situation was so bizarre.
"I'm getting annoyed by your crying. Seriously, if you keep crying, I'll kill you."
Lin Qi's words instantly frightened the other party. After all, a single sentence had stopped her from crying and made her grief disappear. In addition, the stomp of his foot just now proved that this person was very powerful and not someone she could resist. Moreover, she had seen many vicious people on the high seas. So, upon hearing that he was going to kill her, she immediately became obedient.
"Anyway, don't cry yet."
"Ah."
The other person composed themselves and nodded heavily, looking incredibly obedient.
"I know you have a deal with that good-for-nothing Ah Long. If you raise 100 million, he'll let you redeem the village. But I guarantee you, even if you give him 100 million, he won't give the village back to you."
Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, the other party couldn't help but refute them, since those words shattered his illusions.
"Impossible, Ah-yi and I made a promise."
Lin Qi almost laughed when he heard this.
"No way? No way? You actually believe what these pirates say?"
"How about we make a bet? I'll make up the money for you, and if the other party goes back on their word, I'll help you save the village. In return, you'll become my Xingnu."
Lin Qi made this excessive request with a smile and in a very calm tone.
Nami was stunned when she heard this, feeling like she had misheard.
"Um, what were you just saying?"
Nami was a little unsure and decided to check if she had misheard.
"Yes, I will give you enough money to redeem the skirt. Of course, if you fail, I can help you get the skirt back."
"However, you will have to pay a price, and that price is to become my Starfury!"
Nami heard clearly this time, and then her gaze towards the person in front of her changed. She thought to herself, "I didn't expect this person to be so handsome, he's not much different from those dirty guys."
"I.."
Nami was about to say she refused, but someone interrupted her first.
"Don't say anything like you're refusing. After all, I'll give you the money first so you can redeem the village and give it a try. If it fails, we'll proceed with my plan. Of course, if it succeeds, I won't ask you to pay me back."
"Anyway, this proposal is a sure win for you. If it succeeds, the village will be back. If it fails, the village will still be back. But you won't have to keep exploiting people's feelings. You just need to open your legs for me."
At this moment, Lin Qi was seriously discussing a deal with the other party, but the content of the deal was not serious.
Chapter 489 Has he become obsessed with money?
Nami was completely taken aback when she saw the person in front of her making such a request. To be honest, she had never seen such a direct and shameless person on the high seas. This was truly an eye-opening experience.
How could you make such a shameless request?
Nami blushed and shouted, after all, such conditions were too much. However, Lin Qi did not back down when he saw the other party's attitude. Instead, he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"To be honest, what's wrong with my terms? After all, you can't redeem the village yourself, but I've solved the problem for you. And it's a completely effortless solution. Isn't that worth it for you?"
Lynch's interview left the other party speechless for a moment. After all, this kind of thing is hard to define, and the point is that it was said so directly, which made people very embarrassed.
"Nami, do you want to agree? If you agree, I'll give you the money right now so you can raise the money."
Lin Qi was now frantically tempting the other party, trying to make their dreams come true.
"You need to know you're not at a loss. If it succeeds, I'll pretend you never borrowed money from me. Do you see any problem with that?"
Lin Qi's words made the other party unsure, but they still tentatively asked to confirm.
Are you sure you won't come after me to get your money back if I succeed?
Lin Qi nodded heavily at this moment.
"I'm as sure that if you succeed, this money will be wiped clean. If you fail, you'll have to willingly play along with me. I say one, you can't say two, you can only obediently cooperate."
Lynch made his point clear.
Nami hesitated at this moment. After all, this was the most important choice in her life. Normally, she could succeed quickly if she worked hard. However, after hearing this person say that even if she worked hard and made money, she would not achieve her wish, she was a little suspicious. She was not sure if this person was lying to her or telling the truth. She would rather he was lying to her.
"I know what you're thinking, but I have to tell you, do I have any reason to lie to you? I've made you into a mess, and no one can stop me. I'm giving you a choice. To be honest, I'm a reasonable person, okay?"
Lin Qi was also annoyed by the other party's behavior. She was constantly on guard against him. What was going on? He knew he wasn't a real bad guy, especially since she thought he was some kind of villain. If she had just stripped him bare, she wouldn't be here arguing with him. This girl was completely oblivious to her good fortune.
Nami was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked scared. After all, there was no one around and she couldn't beat this person. If he turned into a beast, she would be helpless. So, just as he said, she was a little scared.
"You need to calm down!"
“Let’s talk this out. I’m only here because you’re so handsome; you’re definitely not one of those people.”
Nami forced a smile and said something that was half against her will. After all, the man was indeed very handsome, that was no exaggeration, but she was a little unsure whether he was that kind of person.
Lin Qi simply waved his hand, and a large pile of gold fell in front of the other party.
Nami's eyes lit up when she saw the golden object that appeared out of nowhere, her gaze turning into a money symbol. As for why it appeared out of nowhere, it was most likely due to the power of the Devil Fruit. After all, although this was the weakest sea, she had still heard of legendary things like Devil Fruits.
Not to mention, this person is clearly not an ordinary person, so she wasn't surprised at all that he could do this.
Nami carefully counted the treasure, then spoke in an incredulous tone.
"Are all of these really for me?"
Nami's voice became shrill when she asked the question. It was unbelievable, utterly unbelievable. She had never imagined that such a large sum of money would fall from the sky. It was simply a miracle.
"I gave it to you because I wanted it. Do you think I'm lying to you or joking with you? Anyway, I've already given it to you, so I can't guarantee what will happen in the end."
Nami didn't waste any words and put the money away. After all, it was more than enough with what she already had, and even more than enough. Upon closer inspection, it was a total of 100 million.
What exactly are you like?
After confirming that the money was safe, Nami turned to Lin Qi and asked, "Who exactly is this person? They're so generous! It's like a dream..."
Lin Qi looked at the other person's puzzled expression and thought for a moment.
"Just think of me as someone who enjoys having fun and traveling around."
"Anyway, who I am doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I am your future master. After all, you're bound to lose this bet, and I know those guys better than you do."
Lin Qi's words made the other person roll their eyes at him, and then they spoke in an annoyed tone.
How can you be so sure? Can't you just wish me well?
Nami felt better after seeing how much money she had, but Lin Qi figured she was going to cry again soon.
"In short, once you inform the other party that you are going to repay the money, you will understand why I said that."
Nami was somewhat surprised and uncertain after hearing this, since it wasn't the first time or two that such a thing had been said.
"Don't worry about it, and don't say anything irrelevant. Just listen to me."
"You should directly inform the other party that you want to repay the money."
"You'll find out what happens next."
Seeing the other person's impatient and dismissive manner, Nami didn't say anything more and immediately took action to pass on the message.
Meanwhile, the evil dragon was enjoying his banquet, but when he heard the news from his subordinates, he was completely dumbfounded.
He quickly realized what was happening and laughed wildly.
"Hahaha, I never expected that our little Nami would actually save up enough money."
"That really surprises me. Weren't we a little short before?"
"Looks like I'm in luck; I've made some gains."
The dragon didn't care at all about the other party raising the money; instead, it even seemed to be mocking him.
After all, how could I possibly let them go?
Chapter 490: So scared he peed his pants?
"a ha ha ha!"
At this moment, A'elong was laughing wildly, while his subordinates spoke up with a curious look on their faces.
"Boss A-Long, you're not really planning to agree to their offer, are you? After all, Nami has already raised a hundred million."
"You know, their talent is very rare. We can't really let them go."
Upon hearing his underling's words, the dragon's lips curled into a smile, a smile that looked utterly mocking.
"Why wouldn't I let him go? The condition is that he can come and trade with me for 100 million Berries."
Ah Long swirled his wine glass, looking every bit the villain, and immediately addressed his other underlings after saying those words.
"Tell the rat to go and take all this money."
The dragon's words stunned his men for a moment, but then they all understood his true thoughts and burst into laughter.
Honestly, no one expected their boss to play like this, but it was undeniably to their liking. Everyone was laughing wildly, looking forward to watching the show and seeing Nami make a fool of herself. 30 "Boss, do you think Nami-chan will cry a lot later?"
At this point, an ugly guy asked the question, not out of concern, but simply to see the other person make a fool of themselves.
"Haha, that's for sure. We, as their partners, will have to give them a good talking-to when the time comes."
"After all, the other party is a member of our Arlong Pirates. Me."
Although the demon claimed the other person was a member of his pirate crew, his demeanor didn't suggest he genuinely considered them one. He was just playing around.
The others agreed with this statement, after all, he was just a human being, a mere tool, and dreaming of becoming one of their noble members was wishful thinking.
Lin Qi was watching silently. He thought to himself, "This is going to be interesting. They're all so arrogant. I hope they'll still be this arrogant when they die."
On the other side, Nami made some preparations to pay off her debts and then returned to the place where she had deposited her money. She saw the Marines searching and moving the money from where she had kept it.
Nami couldn't help but shout after seeing this.
