The profiteer on the Grand Line [One Piece]

"Me?" The old man laughed at himself and spread his hands, "Because I am a devil fruit user. She didn't expect this to let me escape."

There was nothing unusual about the expression on the old man's face. He sighed and said, "Please, three of you."

None of them said much about the old man's words.

Quickly coming out of the palace, Ace looked at Marco with hesitation and hesitation. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"What do you think?" Marco naturally noticed Ace's expression, and without saying anything else, he directly asked Ace for his opinion.

"I think there's something wrong here." Scratching his head, Ace was also a little confused.

He is not a person who likes to use his brain. He doesn't know who to believe just from what the two of them said.

However, trusting your friends unconditionally seems to be the right thing to do.

Although Andrea acted very free and easy, as if everything could be measured in money, Ace felt that she could still be considered a good person.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Ace asked, staring behind him.

If he had to choose, he would actually run back to get to the bottom of it.

Marco and Yizo also felt that the old man's problem was not small, even if, as the other party said, the place became like this because of Andrea.

But how to explain why these new people who came to the island were affected and the cover that shrouded the island.

"What are you going to do?" The girl's voice rang in the ears of the three of them. They all quickly turned their heads and saw the person who appeared next to them.

"Why are you here?" Marco's eyes widened. He had never noticed that Andrea was here before.

"Because you have been talking about me." Andrea also looked helpless. She tilted her head and looked at the few people, a little strange. "But why did you come to this island? I've been here once before with the red hair."

"Do you know what's happening here?" Marco didn't have much vigilance. If they couldn't trust their companions who have known each other for many years, then it would be boring for pirates like them to live.

"I'm not sure. I don't feel very good here. Plus, there seems to be something I'm hiding here. I don't plan to get to the bottom of it." Andrea shook her head. She hated trouble.

A few people didn't ask why Andrea could come in even though this place was closed.

This person never takes the normal route when looking for a place. Marco seriously doubts that the other person has something similar to an arbitrary door.

Yi Zang thought for a while and told the two versions of the story he heard here in concise language.

After hearing everything, Andrea frowned and her expression changed slightly.

"Did you remember anything?"

"No." She pondered for a while, her face became a little strange, and she dug out a bag from somewhere, and found a dazzling blue gem in it.

The gem was decorated into a gorgeous flower, and the gold and silver decorations on the side surrounded the core, like a flower or a butterfly spreading its wings.

"It seems that the gem you are talking about is of this type." Andrea's expression was also a little confused.

She could feel that this jewelry was very thoughtful and contained the painstaking effort of the maker. Even just looking at it, she could clearly feel the emotion contained in it.

Not only the beauty, but also the infinite expectations.

"I'll join you."

"it is good."

When Ace was still thinking about whether to go back and ask more questions to find out more, Marco and Izo had already walked to Andrea's side. Seeing that Ace was still standing there, they reached out and grabbed him.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?"

While they were talking, some changes appeared around them, as if they were wrapped in something. His vision was blocked and he couldn't see clearly what was there.

"Is this?" Ace was still a little strange. He looked around and didn't understand what was going on.

"It can be regarded as a kind of time retrieval. You can see the most profound memories of the selected things. However, you cannot lock the exact time and events, only a rough range."

"Can you even do this kind of thing?"

"I told you! You can buy everything here." Andrea smiled sweetly, with a playful expression on her face, "Even things from the past can be bought."

Ace's expression seemed to have changed a bit, but it quickly returned to normal.

At this time, colors appeared in front of them, and they could vaguely see the surrounding scenes.

The environment has not changed much, but many things around it look a bit dilapidated.

Ace looked around and saw the palace they had just come out of.

It was magnificent and luxurious, completely different from the current dilapidation.

At this time, a group of people were whipping a group of people to move faster.

"Don't waste time. If your output is small today, hehe... don't blame us."

Ace, who was most angry, wanted to punch those people who looked like cannon fodder, but he realized after punching that he couldn't touch these people at all.

It's like the existence of two worlds, passing through them like bubbles.

"Is this what happened more than ten years ago?" Ace looked around and clenched his fist, "Then let's go to the palace first! I think there must be something wrong with that old man."

A few people have no opinion.

At this time, the outside of the palace was full of guards in armor, but when walking by, you could see the strange expressions on the faces of the soldiers.

Ace didn't take this little thing to heart. He walked in first, and they were like ghosts without being seen by anyone.

You can even experience walking through walls.

The old man could not be seen in the main hall. Ace and the others walked around to the room where the old man had taken them before finding him.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard a sound.

A woman's voice.

"Desire will trigger everything, and your greed will harm yourself."

Ace's steps paused slightly, but he didn't have any other thoughts because of these words. He entered the room directly and saw the scene inside.

Although the passage of time would change a person's appearance, Ace still didn't expect that the old man would change so much in more than ten years.

Ace saw a young man with blond hair kneeling on the ground, looking up at the woman standing in front of him.

"Don't you claim to be able to sell anything? In that case, what I ask for should be easy for you!"

The young man looked about thirty years old, but his ferocious expression made him look particularly ugly.

"Indeed." The person standing in front of the other party was Andrea. The other party looked almost zero different from now.

She tilted her head as if she was thinking about something, "But what you are asking for is really troublesome. Even if you collude with pirates and try to drain the island, it will be difficult to buy it."

"Let's do this." The woman seemed to have thought of something interesting. She smiled and held out a finger, "You call on all the residents to come over and buy things from me based on the ore each of them digs."

The young man's eyebrows twitched. He didn't think this was a good idea.

A greedy person will always want to have everything in his own hands. Why doesn't he have it all to himself? But shared by everyone?

"You have to know that a person's power is limited after all. Besides, aren't your subjects your property?"

A woman's words are like a devil full of temptation. She is luring the other person into the abyss step by step.

"If they support you, they hope that you, the king, will live forever and not be troubled by illness, and lead them forever."

"At that time, you will become their eternal king, and you will get a team of soldiers who are not afraid of death or hardship to charge into battle for you."

"...Okay!" The young man's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he looked at the woman in front of him with wide eyes and greed.

He wants everything!

What do those stupid people know? !

"I'll make arrangements."

He had to think about how to maximize their emotions.

The fearless king spent thousands of dollars to stand in front of these rubbish, seeking some benefits from the cruel and powerless villains.

Give them a day's rest.

Yes, very good, those stupid people should be grateful.
