Chapter 234 An Unintentional Result

Although the Wonder Suit is very powerful, its only function so far is to increase Robin's combat power.

Other suits can only eat dust in a different space.

For Aoki, the most important thing right now is to find Sleeping Town as soon as possible.

The next day.

The dilapidated house was squeezed between two big trees, with a crooked sign hanging above the door.

Aoki stopped and looked at the sign.

"Is this right here?"

"That's right." Robin nodded.

The two of them walked into the grocery store.

It was a mess inside, with all kinds of things mixed together and piled on the shelves.

A young man with long blond hair, an unkempt beard, and a somewhat depressed look was feeding a pale little girl.

Hearing the noise, the blond young man raised his head.

"What do you want to buy?"

Robin took a step forward: "I heard that you have an old boat for sale?"

The expression of the blond young man was very strange. He was both happy and disappointed. Two completely different expressions appeared on his face at the same time.

"That's right."

"Take us to see the ship!" said Robin.

The blond young man nodded, stood up, and touched the little girl's hair.

"Dad has to go out for something, but he will be back soon!"

The little girl nodded obediently and glanced timidly at Aoki and Robin.

"Let's go!" The blond young man walked outside.

Aoki glanced at the little girl's legs, and together with Robin, turned to follow.

The three of them soon arrived at a small pier, with a sloop parked on the sea.

There are obvious traces of time left by wind and rain on the surface, but the hull is very clean.

The only problem is that the sail is dirty and the skull is faintly visible, but it is now covered with new paint.

The blond young man took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "This is the Alice. Four million berries, you can get her!"

"Too expensive!" Robin shook his head.

The two had agreed long ago that she would be responsible for the transaction process and Aoki would be responsible for collecting the money.

The blond young man frowned: "This is no ordinary ship. The keel is made of black iron wood. Although it is not large, it can hold four cannons. The shipwright who built it is the famous Master Orlando..."

Robin's tone was calm: "So many artillery points are of no use to us, and can even be said to be a burden!

I think the mast must have been broken, and there are still a lot of repair marks on the surface..."

Listening to Robin's words, the blond young man's face stiffened at first, and then gradually turned red.

"The Alice has carried us to dozens of islands. You don't have to buy it, but I will never allow you to insult it!"

"insult?"

Robin looked at the blond young man: "What part of what I said is not true?"

The blond young man opened his mouth and said dejectedly: "Just tell me, how much are you willing to pay?"

Robin pondered for a moment: "We can offer up to two million beli. Moreover, further inspection is needed. If problems are found, the price will be lowered."

The blond young man seemed to have been stepped on, and his mood suddenly became excited.

"Impossible! The original construction of the Alice cost more than 20 million in materials alone! Two million is absolutely impossible!"

"But now it's just an old ship that's on the verge of being scrapped."

"No, no!"

The blond young man scratched his hair hard and his breathing was a little rapid: "Two million is too little, three and a half million, how about three and a half million?"

Robin said: "Two million is the highest price we can accept."

The blond young man shook his head vigorously: "No! Absolutely not for two hundred years!"

"In that case, excuse me!"

Robin nodded slightly, and together with Aoki, turned and left.

The blond young man had a look of pain on his face, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again.

"Okay! Two million is two million!"

Robin and Aoki stopped.

"We need to check the boat again!"

The blond young man seemed to have had his bone marrow taken away, and said feebly: "After a casual inspection, the Alice is just a little broken, but there is absolutely no problem with the quality and performance!

I come here regularly for inspection and maintenance every year. The Alice is definitely the best boat you can buy here! "

Robin said: "For an old ship of this level, two million berries is a very high price."

The blond young man sighed and waved his hand without any excuse: "Go check it out!"

Robin and Aoki boarded the ship and inspected it.

They are not shipbuilding experts and can only briefly check the superficial conditions. Overall, they are quite satisfactory.

"Let's take this one." Aoki decided directly. It was just for transition anyway.

When the two got off the boat, the blond young man's mental state recovered somewhat.

"How's it going? The Alice is pretty good, isn't it? Huh, I wouldn't sell her if not..."

Aoki asked: "This was once a pirate ship, right?"

The blond young man straightened his back and showed a bit of pride on his face.

"That's right, back then our Alice Pirates were also very famous in the neighborhood!"

Aoki asked again: "How much is your reward?"

The blond young man's expression froze, he touched his head, and his face became a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, our pirate group mainly focuses on searching for treasures and exploring ruins. It rarely fights with others, so it suffers a lot in terms of bounties."

After saying that, he quickly added: "But our strength is very strong. If you are willing, it is not a problem to become a big pirate with a bounty of over 100 million!"

Aoki didn't pay attention to his obvious bragging and asked: "Exploring the ruins? Then do you know Sleeping Ancient Town?"

"Sleeping in the ancient town?" The blond young man shook his head blankly.

Aoki was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted.

It is not easy to find an island in the vast sea.

He is ready for a protracted battle.

The blond young man asked curiously: "Where is that place?"

Aoki said casually: "There are many ruins, and it is said that there are also mysterious treasures."

"Mysterious treasure? I seem to have heard of this description before."

The blond young man murmured and suddenly hammered his palm: "I remembered, it was that abandoned town!"

Aoki's eyes changed: "You know?"

There was a look of memory on the blond young man's face.

"My companions and I have been to an island with a town called Suigu, but it was completely abandoned, so I didn't think about it for a moment!"

Aoki asked: "Do you remember the route and location?"

"Of course! I remember all the places we went to!"

The blond young man said proudly.

Aoki asked quickly, and the blond young man did not hide his secrets and described the route to Sleep Ancient Town in detail.

"Thank you very much."

Aoki took out a bag and handed it over.

The blond young man took it, took a look, and was stunned.

"Is this too much?"

The money in the bag was obviously more than two million, at least twice as much!

"The rest is the intelligence fee paid to you!"

Aoki smiled: "Is four million enough to cure your daughter's leg?"

"Enough is enough!"

The blond young man nodded subconsciously and suddenly came back to his senses.

"You, how do you know?"

"See you later."

Aoki didn't answer, waved his hand, took Robin, and flew onto the Alice.

The boat slowly left the sea and broke through the sky.

It wasn't until the figure of the boat disappeared that the blond young man came back to his senses.

"Energy users? It seems that they are not ordinary people. That's good. In their hands, the Alice may shine even brighter."

He looked at the money in the bag, an excited smile appeared on his face, and walked quickly towards home.
