Kos's intimidation was very effective. After those bounty hunters saw that the 20 million man was so aggressive and violent, they would naturally feel that the 100 million man was even more untouchable.

The three bounty hunters who were directly taunted by him after being named by him only stared at Kos, and then he stared back with cold eyes.

The other unnamed bounty hunters lurking aside are very self-aware, otherwise they would be mixed in with the bounty hunters who act as cannon fodder. They know that Kos only targets those three people because the other party has no idea at all. They take it seriously.

After a while, the bounty hunters gathered at the port all dispersed, and at this time a well-dressed middle-aged man walked forward with a smile.

Looking at the business-like smile on the man's face, Kos understood that the other man was probably here to make money for himself.

"It's really amazing sword skills, and the miraculous use of Devil Fruit, it's really admirable."

The man came up with compliments.

"How many people have you told this set of templates?"

Kos looked at the man impatiently, then went straight to the point,

"Tell me, how much?"

Kos's attitude of not intending to cooperate at all caused a flash of embarrassment on the man's face, but then his excellent professionalism made him smile quickly.

"You are really refreshing. The berthing fee for a ship like yours at our port is 100,000 for the first day, and an additional 10,000 for each additional day."

"Why don't you go and grab it?"

Kos stared at the man with some annoyance. Even though Ace had eaten more than ten million in a few days, he ate all high-end cuisine and had an amazing amount of food. The purchasing power of one hundred thousand is not low in this world. Paying the parking fee is really a bit of a luxury, not to mention the additional 10,000 yuan added every day.

The man didn't show any fear, but explained calmly,

"Don't be too expensive. Pirates like you will probably only stay here for one day and leave when the magnetic force of the recording pointer is full. Therefore, we can only earn a guaranteed profit of 100,000, and before The berthing fee of 100,000 yuan also includes the maintenance and cleaning of the ship and the material delivery service. And this material delivery service is amazing. As long as you make a list of the materials you need, we can help you deliver them to the ship. Of course The cost of the materials themselves is another price.”

"Bundled service? Why do I not trust you so much?"

Kos's experience tells him that bundled package services like this are always expensive and have limited quality.

“You can trust our credibility and there’s a reason our Port Chamber of Commerce has been around Whiskey Mountain for so long.”

The man patted his chest in assurance.

But Cos remained unmoved.

"Reputation? How much is that thing worth?"

"Haha, it seems to be true."

The man smiled awkwardly, then stopped smiling and said seriously,

"But our lives are still worth some money. We won't bother a pirate like you for more than 100,000, otherwise we won't be able to lose our heads enough."

"That sounds reasonable."

Cos understood that although businessmen would risk being hanged for profit, they also cherished their lives the most, and they still did not dare to do small actions that could really cost their lives.

Moreover, the number of people in their pirate group is indeed a little small, and it will take a lot of time to maintain the Gray Pearl by themselves.

So he took out ten thousand-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the man. After the man took the bills, he immediately changed his face to a business-like smile.

"I wish you a pleasant stay at Whiskey Peak. If you have written down the list of items you need to purchase, please send it to the front desk of the office building at the entrance of the port area. We will deliver the high-quality supplies to your ship as soon as possible."

The man turned around, secretly tapped the banknotes he received to confirm their authenticity, and then left quickly in small steps.

"who's that person?"

Ace had just gotten off the Gray Pearl, so he only saw the man's leaving figure and didn't hear the conversation between Kos and the man.

"Toll collector at the port."

Kos looked at Deus who was behind Ace.

"Let's first make a list of the supplies we need to supply and let people at the port help purchase them. This can save a lot of trouble."

"Understood, then I will focus on finding the permanent pointer."

Deus nodded understandingly.

Then, while Cos and Deus were saying these two words, Ace had already run to the exit of the port.

Considering that there was no one on the island who could threaten Ace, and that his threat should make the people here unable to think of anything wrong for a while, Cos let the idiot captain run around on his own.

Afterwards, Cos and Deus took inventory of the supplies on the ship and remade the purchase list based on their sailing experience during this period.

The Gray Pearl was handed over to Michal and Kodaz for guarding. One of them didn't like to communicate with others except in class, and the other was very wary of humans.

After asking at the port front desk, Cos and Deus learned that they could even get the permanent pointer, and they even showed the actual object to them. However, because the price was a bit expensive, Cos and Deus did not sell it immediately. It depends on whether it can be obtained through other means.

In order to ensure efficiency, Kos and Deus decided to act separately. One person was responsible for finding a permanent pointer on an island and confirming the prices and quality of supplies on the island to avoid being cheated.

After visiting a few stores, Kesi found that the price level here was not generally high. The same quality of flour was twice as expensive as in Donghai.

After asking, I learned that Whiskey Peak itself is extremely short of products. All supplies are transported from other places. The transportation costs plus the high proportion of losses caused by the poor route conditions of the Grand Route naturally make the price higher than 100 million yuan. .

After mentally calculating the total price of the supplies on the list he wrote before, Cos was secretly glad that he had done some dirty work on the way here. Otherwise, even though he still had enough money, he wouldn't have much left.

However, Kos asked all the shops on the larger islands and could not see where permanent pointers were sold. Afterwards, he had cordial and friendly exchanges with bounty hunters in several bars, and the answers he got were the same as those of most bounty hunters. They all travel to Whiskey Peak on the merchant ships of the Chamber of Commerce.

As for the chambers of commerce, they are naturally those that manage the port, and most of the shops here are affiliated with those chambers of commerce.

Now Cos understands that this Whiskey Peak is purely the private territory of those chambers of commerce. They bring bounty hunters here who are full of expectations and want to make a lot of money to hunt pirates, and then require them to pay high tolls before they can leave; On the other hand, they provide various high-priced but barely reasonable services to pirates that bounty hunters can't handle.

And because they will not be too aggressive, they have controlled the premium to a position that is heartbreaking but will not turn the table off. Coupled with the mutual constraints between pirates and bounty hunters, this really allows the Chamber of Commerce to maintain a stable position. Made money.

What is a win-win? This is a win-win. The Chamber of Commerce beat the bounty hunter once and beat the pirate again.
