Pirates start pretending to be Whitebeard II

"Aunt Xia Qi, how are the house prices here?"

"We're afraid we're going to have to stay here for a while, maybe it would be better to buy some property."

Nami turned to Xia Qi and asked.

For this training, Luffy planned for everyone to do it together. Of course, Rayleigh would mainly train Luffy and other key people, while the other younger brothers would be trained by Luffy and others.

As for the island, you can choose Ruskaina Island, which is the uninhabited island where Luffy trained two and a half years ago.

Then choose a small island near Ruskaina Island to train the younger brothers.

Although Nami and Robin also participated in the training, they would stay in the Chambord Islands most of the time to gather information.

"You can live at my place. I bought a small villa on Tree Island No. 4. It was recently completed. You can move in in a few days. It has a three-story building, a back garden, and a swimming pool."

"Of course, if you have money, you can buy some real estate. The real estate here has been appreciating. The small villa I bought has increased by 100 million beli in more than half a month!"

Xia Qi smiled.

"One million Baileys in half a month?"

"How much did your villa cost?"

Nami's mind was filled with shiny gold coins.

Although the Straw Hat Pirates don't have any large savings, they still have a few tens of millions, which Nami secretly saved through hard work.

Otherwise, Luffy, the big eater, would be wiped out in a few meals.

And Bartolomeo is very rich, so Nami doesn't mind exploiting him.

"It's a bit expensive. It costs 2000 million beli! The current market price should be 100 million beri."

"But it's safe here, the environment is good, and it's suitable for retirement, so it's pretty good."

Xia Qi smiled.

"How many?"

"2000 Bailey?"

Everyone was surprised.

When the Straw Hat Pirates were at their richest, they obtained a batch of gold from Sky Island and sold it for [-] million beli in the Capital of Seven Waters. Most of it was used to build the Thousand Miles of Sunshine.

2000 million is basically more than half of the Straw Hat Pirates' net worth.

Each member only has a pocket money of 90 beli per month. Now there are nine people in total, and the monthly allowance is [-].

In addition to some food and material supplements, it doesn't cost much, and many of the ingredients are obtained by hunting.

"Uh, don't you have enough money? I still have some money here that I can lend you."

"It's good to buy a property and have a place to live. When you get tired, you can go back to the Shampoo Islands to rest."

Xia Qi looked at Nami and said.

She knew that Nami was in charge of the money in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"The money is enough, but wouldn't it be too much of a loss to spend such a large amount of money to buy a set?"

Nami frowned slightly, feeling very confused.

Speaking of which, they really don't have a fixed residence. They live wherever the ship goes. Anyway, the space on the ship is more than enough for nine people.

"You won't lose money. If you still have spare money, you can invest in some shops. Whether it's business or rental, it's a good income."

Xia Qi chuckled and suggested. She was very happy recently and particularly admired her foresight.

The value of the shop I bought has increased to 200 million yuan, which is more than the villa. It will be pleasant to sell the bar on Tree Island No. 13 and concentrate on running the bar on Tree Island No. 4.

"Then buy it and open a restaurant, and you can eat meat for free!"

Luffy stood up and shouted excitedly.

"I'll eat your head for free!"

Sanji, who had returned to normal, immediately gave Luffy a headache in displeasure.

As the chef of the fleet, he knew Luffy's appetite very well. If he opened a restaurant, he would probably be eaten by Luffy and go bankrupt within a few days.

Half an hour later, everyone got off at a station on Tree Island No. 4.

"Eat first. After we finish eating, I will take you to see the villa I bought. Then you can decide whether to buy it or not!"

Xia Qi took everyone to a food street. Because the Straw Hat Pirates were average, Xia Qi was not embarrassed to take them to high-end hotels and restaurants to spend money.

I only found an ordinary butcher shop in the food court.

Everyone ate and drank wildly, and Nami finally settled the bill, spending 18 Baileys.

Although Luffy ate the most, he ate at least 15 Baileys worth of food alone.

But because she was treating Xia Qi to dinner, Nami was generous and didn't care. If she usually spent so much money on a meal, Nami would be angry.

However, Nami also realized that the consumption on Tree Island No. 4 was much higher than when she was in the Shampoo Islands more than two years ago.

After eating, Xia Qi took everyone out and found three taxis.

Shaqi, Nami, and Robin got into the first one, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji got into the second one, and Brooke and others got into the third one.

"To Downton Abbey, number 129!"

Xia Qi told the driver.

Downton Abbey is the name of the area where Shachi purchased the cottage.

The taxi she took led the way and arrived at her destination in less than 10 minutes. She showed her owner's certificate to a guard on the way, and the guard took photos of everyone before letting them go.

"It's so strict here!"

Nami said softly.

"Well, it's a little more complicated and safer. If you live here in the future, you can apply for the owner's certificate yourself and just show it. No need to take pictures."

Xia Qi smiled.

When everyone got out of the car, what they saw was an exquisite three-story villa.

There is a beautiful wooden fence, and through the gaps in the fence, you can see many flowers and plants planted inside.

The Shampoo Islands are summer islands, and everything is mostly green.

The small villa occupies a small area of ​​only 600 square meters, with a garden and swimming pool, totaling more than 2000 square meters, totaling [-] million beli, and the unit price is nearly [-] beli per square meter.

These are still mid-range residential areas, as well as more luxurious and high-end areas, but the prices start at 5000 million beli.

Xia Qi pasted the owner's ID card on the door, clicked, then pressed the password on a small metal keyboard, and the metal door slowly opened automatically.

Everyone followed Xia Qi into the garden in front of the villa.

"How about it? It's not bad. It was just renovated a few days ago. It will be ready for people to live in in two or three days after the smell has dissipated."

Xia Qi smiled.

Although it is decorated with environmentally friendly materials, it is always good to spread the smell.

"so beautiful!"

"good smell!"

Robin looked at the flowers around him, squatted down and sniffed them with his eyes closed.

“This villa is amazing!”

“Looking at the decoration outside, it’s very beautiful! It’s so lifelike!”

"It's even more powerful inside, right?"

Nami walked forward and touched the four large stone pillars in front of the steps of the villa with her hands, and praised them.

These stone pillars were all made from a large piece of rock by Muchen. This batch of stone pillars were engraved with flowers, birds, fish, animals, mountains, rivers, etc. They were very delicate, just like carvings by masters.

“There’s also a swimming pool, which is almost like a high-end resort hotel!”

Sanji looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

"Can I swim now?"

Chopper asked Xia Qi expectantly.
