367 The Treasure Trove
Zhao Hao furrowed his brows. He didn’t expect that it would cost so much to publish a piece of news,
“200,000,000 is the highest I can offer. If you don’t agree, then forget it. I’ll look for another newspaper,” Zhao Hao said decisively.
“Haha, deal, deal. Vice Admiral Zhao, I hope we can work together more in the future. If you have any news, you must inform me first.”
Morganz immediately agreed. He knew that the price was not low.
“Vice Admiral Zhao, where do you want to set up the location of the treasure?”
Zhao Hao thought for a while and replied, “Don’t make it too obvious. Just write it’s located in a mountain that looks like a bell.”
Morganz nodded to show that he understood. “Yes, I understand. We’re the best at this. I wonder when you can send the payment…”
Zhao Hao said directly, “Go and ask for it from Fleet Admiral Kong.”
After the deal was settled, Zhao Hao hung up the call.
The next morning,..
Numerous albatross flew out from the headquarters of the World Economic News.
They carried the freshly printed newspapers and flew all over the world,
The image on the front page of the newspaper was very clear.
On a dark night, a man in black, whose face could not be seen clearly, left with a huge bag on his back. The bag was fat and heavy, and wherever he passed, gold bricks, golden crowns, and golden swords would fall to the ground. The camera had captured piles of treasure, making people feel greedy.
The articles in the front page were shocking:
—Before the lawless island was destroyed, a large amount of treasure disappeared. It was actually taken away by the masked man.
—According to a reliable source, all of Raider Shibu and the deceased pirates’ treasures are hidden in a bell-like mountain on the Grand Line route!
—According to experts’ estimates, this batch of treasures could be worth billions of Berries!
—A new opportunity to make a fortune! A mountain like a bell. Find it and you will have everything you want.
…
The newspapers were sent all over the world.
Since Zhao Hao had already paid, a large number of free newspapers were distributed without anyone buying them.
The place with the most free newspapers was the place where pirates often played.
In a remote town in the New World…
“Big, big, big, MD, we lost again,”
“Where’s the wine? Where is my wine? Waiter, serve the wine!”
“Oh my, I’ve spent all my money. It looks like I have to go out to the sea to kill again. When will these days end? ”
“One day, our brothers will probably die in the sea. Sigh.”
“If only I had a chance to make a fortune. I just want to earn 100,000,000 Berries. With 100,000,000 Berries, I’ll wash my hands of this business.”
…
The places where pirates usually spent their time were usually the most expensive.
People like them lived on the edge of a blade.
Looking at Berries in his hand flowing away like water, he couldn’t help but feel heartache.
In this world, if you didn’t have money, you couldn’t enjoy life,
If one wanted to enjoy it, they had to go out to the sea and kill. Not being able to return was another matter.
At this moment, an albatross flew across the sky.
Following that, dozens of newspapers were thrown down, and some of them happened to hit some unlucky pirates in the face.
“Who is it!? you just threw the newspaper randomly and it hit me!”
The pirates who were hit started to curse at the street in front of them.
The pirates who were with them laughed.
“It means that you’re unlucky. There are so many people here, but they didn’t smash anything. They only smashed you.”
“Newspapers? Hahaha, why don’t you change your profession and become a reporter? if it hits you, it means that it’s fated with you.”
“Ah, it would be great if billions of Berries fell from the sky and hit me.”
“Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
The pirate who was hit by the newspaper was so excited that he couldn’t speak when he saw the contents of the newspaper.
The people around him were very confused. The pirate closest to him waved his hand and took the newspaper.
He opened it and took a deep breath. His muddled mind instantly cleared up.
“Oh my God! The treasures of Raider Shibu and the deceased pirates have been stolen.”
Upon hearing the word ‘treasures’, all the drunk pirates fell silent.
Soon, the newspaper on the ground was snatched away, and everyone stared at it with bloodshot eyes.
“Billions of Berries? They’ll belong to whoever finds it.”
“Is this news real?”
“This was published by the world’s largest newspaper. It’s quite credible. The person who hid the treasure must be crying to death.”
“Where is this bell-like mountain? Do you guys have any impression of it?”
“I don’t know. Let’s go out to sea and ask around.”
…
The pirates took the newspaper and left quickly with excited expressions.
Soon, several pirate ships quietly left the port.
On the Grand Line route, in the huge Entertainment City,..
A man with long purple hair, wearing a wine-red captain’s uniform, and two long swords at his waist walked out of the casino.
His face was filled with bad luck as he spat on his hands a few times.
“Damn it! I lost 500,000,000 Berries. What’s wrong with my luck recently? Is it because I killed my own crew?
“The pile of treasures at Deathknell Mountain is almost all spent. If I can’t make a profit by tomorrow night, I’ll have to recruit more crew members and go out to sea to search for treasures.”
The man helplessly sighed.
Then, he walked toward the luxurious hotel he was staying at.
Suddenly, the man saw a newspaper on the ground from the corner of his eye.
“Eh? A mountain that looks like a bell? Could it be that the news of me killing my crew member has been reported? It can’t be?
“Don’t report that! If that’s the case, how am I going to hire freeloaders in the future!?”
Seeing the familiar words on the title, Captain John didn’t dare to hesitate. He quickly picked up the newspaper on the ground and read it carefully.
On the sea, pirates were all extremely vicious and selfish people.
However, there was a standard.
As a captain, if he killed a crew member because he was offended, there would be no problem.
Even if some brutal ones killed a few of their subordinates because they were in a bad mood or because they were drunk, no one would think anything was wrong.
After all, this was a way of life one had chosen to follow. If they were killed because of this, it would be pure bad luck.
However, if one wanted to keep the treasures for themselves and killed the crew members, they would be in trouble.
Then the captain’s reputation would be completely ruined.
Such a captain would never be able to recruit a crew in the future,
Under normal circumstances, the captain could choose to give less to the crew.
The crew would at most say that the captain was stingy, but that was nothing.
It was extremely difficult to go out to sea.
As he finished reading the newspaper, Captain John’s expression gradually relaxed.
“Good, good. It’s not about me. But what’s with this treasure!?”
