Chapter 248 Big Eater Activity

“The total is 65.5 million Baileys. Thank you for your patronage.”

After counting the number of all the slaves imprisoned in the basement again, Takkenqi rubbed his hands and said to Pike.

Pique lit another cigarette and took a deep breath. “Hoo~~Xia He, have someone bring him the remaining 7 million Baileys on the ship.”

“Okay.” Xia He nodded.

“Seven million?”

Upon hearing this number, Takenqi panicked instantly, “Didn’t we agree on the price? Why…”

“Don’t panic. I came out in a hurry this time. I only brought more than 10 million Baileys with me. I spent a lot on the purchase just now. Now I only have 7 million left.” Pique explained: “This 7 million Baileys will be used as a deposit for the time being. I will send someone to replenish the rest of the money within a month. What do you think?”

“This…” Takkenqi seemed hesitant.

“What? Do you think I will swallow the remaining money and not give it to you?” Pique narrowed his eyes under his sunglasses.

“How could it be possible that the famous Don Quixote Pirates would refuse to pay such a small amount of money?” Takkenqi waved his hands and said to the younger brother standing behind him, “Quick, bring all the slaves out.”

“Yes, boss!”

……

After a while.

More than two hundred slaves, including the fishmen, were all chained and taken to the outdoor yard.

Looking at the group of women and children, all of them half-naked and covered with bruises and blood, Xia He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the 7 million Baileys he brought to Takkenqi.

“We have received a deposit of 7.3 million Beli, and there are 58.2 million Beli left.” Takenqi took out a notebook and started to keep track of the accounts.

Pike ignored what Takkenqi meant and walked forward to grab the rope tied around the fishman’s neck.

He exerted a little force, but the fishman remained motionless, which immediately aroused Pique’s interest.

Taking a deep breath and finishing the cigarette in his mouth, Pique tried to increase the strength of his hands.

However, even though the veins on his arms were about to burst, he still had no intention of shaking the fishman in the slightest.

This made Pique’s opinion of this guy change slightly.

“This power…”

Even among the merfolk, it is considered a very powerful existence, right?
he thought to himself.

at the same time.

Seeing that the fishman did not give Pike face, the somewhat frightened Takkenqi quickly pulled out a little girl among the slaves.

The girl looked to be about seven or eight years old. Her skin was very sallow and she was extremely thin. It was obvious that she was suffering from long-term malnutrition.

“Little Lanqi…” The fishman who had been standing there with a blank expression on his face suddenly changed his expression when he saw the little girl whose arm was grabbed by Takkenqi.

“Hmph, I’ve told you so many times, if you dare to resist again, I will kill this little brat!” Takkenqi raised his hand and slapped the little girl in the face.

With a “pop” sound, the little girl’s face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fishman also took two steps forward with red eyes and chose to compromise in an instant.

“It seems to be quite effective?” Pique grinned when he saw this.

“Hehe, that’s right, Mr. Pik, how dare I deceive you?” Takkenqi smiled and handed the little girl to the Don Quixote Pirates, “Then I will wait here for your balance.”

After giving another reminder, and watching the backs of Pico and the others leaving with the slaves, Takenchi finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, “Dealing with pirates is really a life-threatening thing.”

It’s really, really scary.

Especially when Pique looked at him coldly.

That rascal……

How many people have been killed?
… “It seems that the real culprit of the child abduction case we are investigating this time has become obvious.”

Lieutenant Commander Kelly lay down against the wall, glanced at the groups of slaves being taken away, and spoke in a low voice.

At the side, Lieutenant Bock immediately took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and asked, “Should we notify the branch and ask them to send out reinforcements?”

“Of course, if I remember correctly, the buyer should be a cadre of the Don Quixote family – Senior Pico, the user of the Water-Water Fruit, with a bounty of 29 million berries.”

“Water-Water Fruit? Is it the superhuman type or the natural type?” Bock asked.

“Superhuman.” Kelly replied, “He can’t turn himself into water, but he can turn the objects he touches into water and then swim in it. Therefore, no matter how complicated the terrain is, he can easily cross it.”

She has done a lot of research on the Don Quixote family.

After Bock finished talking to Den Den Mushi and reported the situation to his superiors in the branch, he continued to ask Kelly, “Do you want to follow?”

“Yes.” Kelly nodded, “There are so many innocent children. We must find a way to rescue them.”

“Well.”

Bock was about to leave when he heard that, but Kelly held him back. “Don’t act rashly. Check the situation first. What if… there are more than one officer here? We can’t stop him with just the two of us.”

“What exactly should be done?”

“It’s better to find a way to delay them and not let them leave.”

As Kelly spoke, her mind suddenly recalled the greedy fat kid in front of the takoyaki stall just now.

“Have it!”

She pounded her palms hard and said.

……

“Follow up.”

“be honest.”

“Don’t even think about running away.”

Several crew members of the Don Quixote Pirates stood next to the slave team, holding weapons and shouting.

However, even so, the team’s progress was still very slow, simply because these slaves were so badly abused that they were either dizzy and hungry, or had injuries on their bodies, causing them to stumble when they walked.

“I shouldn’t have offered him a higher price.” Pique blew out a smoke ring and muttered to himself.

Not long after, they passed by a restaurant on the street. Buffalo smelled the barbecue and sniffed. Suddenly he stopped and said, “Pique, can we have a meal before we go? I’m hungry.”

“Eat? Didn’t you just eat lunch?” Pique looked up at the sky and thought to himself that it had only been more than three hours, and he was hungry again?

This fat boy is such a good-for-nothing.

“What does lunch have to do with afternoon tea?” He swallowed, obviously very greedy.

“But all the money from purchasing supplies has been given to other people.” Pique said helplessly.

“Can’t we eat without money?” Buffalo blinked, apparently forgetting what Xia He had just taught him. “Haven’t we almost never paid before?”

“Forehead……”

Pique scratched his hair when he heard this.

He thought about it and was about to say don’t make trouble outside, but at this moment…

“In celebration of our grand opening, our restaurant is holding a big eater challenge. Anyone who can eat more than 50 servings of food can get the meal for free!”

In front of another restaurant across the street, a beautiful young woman in a staff uniform shouted loudly into the street.
