"The power of these explosive tags is simply unbelievable for that Price!" exclaimed Shanks, tapping the table in astonishment.
The fact that these explosive tags were so cheap yet still effective was truly shocking to them!
Within the Red-Haired Pirates, many members used flintlock pistols or rifles. The cost of ammunition for these weapons was quite high. And honestly, the damage they could inflict was largely due to the sheer strength of his crew members!
In this world, the damage caused by cannons and firearms was quite limited. But these affordable explosive tags could bypass that limitation!
"Old man, I know you wouldn't be so kind as to inform me about this right away!" said Red-Haired Shanks, lying back and squinting his eyes.
"I like your straightforwardness, kid!" replied Whitebeard, unfazed and chuckling after being called out.
"Go on, speak up!" Shanks waved his hand, speaking earnestly.
"I'm a bit short on funds right now, so I'm here to ask for some sponsorship!" said Whitebeard, picking up a glass of wine from the table with a smile.
"You old geezer, always after my money!" Shanks stood up angrily upon hearing this.
After all, Whitebeard had once asked him for 5 billion berries for the Time Chamber, which originally cost 3 billion! That memory was still fresh in his mind!
"Young man, don't dwell on the past too much!" Whitebeard laughed heartily, pouring the wine from his glass into his mouth.
"Look toward the future, Red-Haired kid!" he said, patting Shanks on the shoulder.
If Pryce had heard this, he would've given Whitebeard a thumbs up! If this were on Earth in his previous life, Whitebeard' action would've made him a master of success philosophy!
"Alright, alright, you're the best at sweet-talking," Shanks said, waving his hand in resignation.
"Fine, how much do you need this time? And what are you offering in return?" Shanks sat down, resigned to his fate.
"How about 10 billion? In return, I'll send you a quarter of the explosive tags produced by Pryce" Whitebeard said seriously.
"10 billion?!" Shanks stood up again, clearly shocked by the amount.
"10 billion for just a quarter of the explosive tags? And do you think I'm made of money old man?" Shanks widened his eyes in disbelief.
"10 billion is already a friendly Price! On the production line for these explosive tags, it's just a drop in the bucket. How about this? I'll have Pryce make you two intermediate teleportation talisman as well. You won't lose out then!" Whitebeard continued to persuade him.
But two intermediate teleportation talisman were Priceless treasures!
Red-Haired Shanks was instantly tempted! He currently had some basic teleportation tags, but using them was always a painful experience.
"Throw in a hundred basic teleportation tags, and then we'll talk!" Red-Haired Shanks continued to haggle.
"No problem!" Whitebeard replied directly.
After all, the production line for the basic teleportation talismans was now running smoothly with a stable daily output! A hundred basic teleportation talismans were no issue at all!
As for the intermediate teleportation talismans, they would need to rely on Pryce for that! In fact, they might not even need to ask Pryce, since he had already equipped everyone with a few intermediate teleportation talismans!
But it was still doable! Moreover, ten billion could significantly ease the financial burden on their pirate crew! After all, many things now required a lot of money! The Whitebeard Pirates had over 1600 members, and feeding and providing drinks for so many people every day was a huge expense!
Plus, this could further strengthen the relationship between the Red-Haired Pirates and his Whitebeard Pirates! If anything happened during the execution of Fire Fist Ace, his crew could seek protection from another Yonko!
After discussing with it Shanks, Whitebeard happily returned to his ship.
...
Moby Dick.
Pryce sat cross-legged on the bed. He looked at the golden-glowing fruit in his hand with a sense of disbelief.
Pryce had just received his manufacturing points and salary for the past two days, so he had saved up quite a bit of money again. This time, Pryce directly chose the golden-tier Devil Fruit lottery!
After all, his current strength was already quite decent! Now, the Whitebeard Pirates were about to go to war with the World Government and the Marines! And Pryce wanted to quickly boost his combat power.
However, the improvements from the golden-tier ten-draws recently hadn't been significant! Perhaps to achieve a massive boost, he would need the diamond-tier lottery!
So, the quickest way Pryce could think of to enhance his strength was to acquire more Devil Fruits! After all, his physique had been modified by the system, allowing him to accommodate multiple Devil Fruit abilities!
And most importantly, he could even use different Devil Fruit abilities simultaneously! It was absolutely overpowered!
So, as long as he could draw a decent Devil Fruit, he could definitely improve significantly in a short time!
This time, Pryce had drawn a golden-tier Devil Fruit—the Glint-Glint Fruit!
After consuming the Glint-Glint Fruit, his body could transform into light, granting immunity to physical attacks, non-Haki attacks, and most energy-based attacks!
At the same time, he would possess the speed and power of light, able to emit lasers from his body, which could cause large-scale explosions!
This fruit was none other than the ability of one of the Marine Admirals, Kizaru Borsalino! Pryce was immediately overjoyed!
Now, he had both Akainu Magma-Magma Fruit and Kizaru Glint-Glint Fruit!
Pryce was looking forward to acquiring Aokiji Ice-Ice Fruit ability in the future, which would undoubtedly take his strength to a whole new level!
At this point, Pryce even felt like challenging the three Admirals! After all, his current strength wasn't weak! Although it might need some effort to defeat them, he certainly wouldn't lose!
With the Glint-Glint Fruit, as long as Pryce wanted to escape, he believed no one could stop him! Just like that time when they rescued Ace, if Admiral Kizaru wanted to escape, combined with the power of the teleportation talisman, even someone as formidable as Whitebeard couldn't stop him!
Moreover, battles between these top-tier fighters rarely end in life-or-death situations!
After all, their combat abilities are nearly equal, and most of the time, both sides have allies to back them up!
