After hearing what Wood said, Robin's whole little face fell instantly and she was extremely speechless.
She had thought before that Wood really knew the heroes of the fishmen and could get Tom to sell them some thin noodles, but she didn't expect that it was all Wood's nonsense!
"Wood, if you want to go to Tom's studio again later, can you go alone? I want to walk around by myself."
"Why? Didn't you say before that you have many ideas for the reform of Dark Pill?
And you, a pirate with no fighting ability but a worth of 80 million beli, wandering around the streets, do you think there are no bounty hunters on this island?"
Wood was a little puzzled. He wanted to come alone before, but Robin kept pestering him, so Wood had no choice but to take Robin with him. As a result, this heartless girl had eaten her fill and bought books. Now,
I was ready to abandon him.
"There is nothing I can do. I'm afraid that if I continue to be with you, I will be beaten to death by the shipwrights on the island later.
There are a lot of murlocs on the bed. If you use a murloc hero that you also admire to deceive them, isn't this just a way to attract hatred?
Wood, let's run away before the other party can deceive us. Master Tom will probably not care about us."
Originally, Robin thought that Wood's approach was wild enough. If he really knew the fish-man hero Fisher Tiger, he might be able to give them a preferential price.
This was the reason why Wood dared to find the best shipwright to modify their ship even though they had no money in their pockets.
The result? Robin didn't expect Wood to be an embroidered pillow!
"What are you afraid of? The other party is also the world's number one shipbuilder after all, so he should still have some sense of it.
And it’s not like we can’t pay, at worst we can just pay the other party double the amount.”
Seeing Wood behind him who looked unconcerned and seemed to be making sarcastic remarks, Robin directly covered his face with his hands and directly listed a series of data to let the man behind him understand the fact that they were currently a poor pirate group.
Double pay? Why the hell are you flying into the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
"The cost of building a large sailing ship from materials to labor is about 50 million beli, but the Seven Islands of Water's craftsmanship is exquisite, and the price may even be as high as 80 million beli.
As the world's number one shipwright, Master Tom's charges may be higher than this price."
“Considering that we are only remodeling and do not need to change the overall structure of the hull, the fee may be lower, but tens of millions of beli are definitely needed.
But do you know how many Baileys we have on hand now?"
All this information was learned by Robin from chatting with the bookstore owner while buying books in a bookstore.
Robin has been drifting at sea for several years. Although he is not old now, he is quite experienced. As a foreigner, it is necessary to understand the market to avoid being ripped off by the locals.
After hearing Robin report the market price with a mature expression, Wood was stunned and said: "Don't we still have 82 million Baileys?
Even if the other party doesn't offer a preferential price or even offers some extra compensation, we should still be able to pay it."
After learning the market price of shipbuilding from Robin, Wood suddenly lost the confidence to shout out that he would double the reward.
"Huh? How long ago was that 82 million Baileys? The daily expenses of the pirate group, as well as the maintenance of the pirate ship.
The biggest expense is due to the fact that every time someone finds a treasure, there is a banquet to celebrate.
Every time we find a treasure, we either cut it by half due to the banquet, or we simply spend it all, so do you think we will still have that much money now?"
Robin said angrily like a little adult to someone who had no self-awareness.
Robin is now about fourteen or fifteen years old, much younger than Wood, but in many cases, his aura can directly suppress Wood.
There is a reason why Wood likes to hold parties.
Based on the size of their pirate group, even if they hold a banquet every time they find a treasure, it won't cost much.
But the point is that every time Wood holds a banquet, he invites other residents on the island to attend. If things go on like this, the cost will be much higher.
Robin, who initially discovered that Wood had this "bad habit," wanted to scold Wood for spending money indiscriminately many times, but her behavior was stopped by Ruth.
And through Ruth's reminder, the smart Robin gradually discovered that Wood did not hold a banquet on every island where he found treasures, but would only hold banquets on certain islands where the living environment was harsh and life was difficult.
Just like on Bird Island before, Wood is helping those in need in his own way.
Even in order not to hurt other people's self-esteem, he acted like a rich man and held a banquet to help others.
To be honest, Robin was full of admiration and moved by Wood's behavior. She had never thought that there was such a navy in the world.
However, if Wood continues to be allowed to continue his squandering behavior, their pirate group will soon enter a deficit stage.
Therefore, with the multiple votes of the pirate group, the current financial power of the "Nirvana Pirates" has been completely transferred to Robin's hands.
"The remaining funds of our pirate group are less than 50 million beli, Captain.
Moreover, all of the 50 million beli cannot be used to remodel the ship, because we need to replenish supplies and so on, so the maximum cost that can be used to remodel the ship is 30 million beli."
Thirty million beli was actually more than enough to rebuild a boat, but Robin never expected that Wood would go straight to the studio of the world's number one shipwright as soon as he landed.
The labor fee of 30 million beli allowed other shipwrights to spend a lot of money, but if Master Tom wanted to spend it, this money was obviously not enough.
"How profitable is it to be a shipwright? If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have joined the navy.
But if that’s the case, why don’t we find other shipwrights on the island instead of Tom?”
In fact, when he first wanted to find Tom to modify the ship, Wood went there because of his reputation. After all, he had built ships for One Piece.
Leaving aside the technical aspect for now, just the opponent's name alone makes him a much better player as Dark Maru.
This is an ingenious work by the same creator as One Piece. Maybe it will be bleached and landed in the future, and you can buy a pirate ship and make a lot of money!
"But we have now made an appointment with Tom's Studio. The other shipbuilders on the island respect Master Tom and probably won't take our order again.
It’s okay if the reward is just not enough, but if you deceive the other party into knowing the fish-man hero, the other party will be very angry, right?”
Robin had heard before that the shipwrights in the Water City were not easy to deal with at all, because they often had to deal with pirates who wanted to default on their debts.
