Chapter 31-Jesus 'Bait
"Hehe, don't misunderstand. I don't have the intention of treating you as fat sheep. I'm very sincere.”
Seeing that Shanks was panicking, Lawton quickly explained. He really did not treat Shanks as a fat sheep. After all, a fat sheep could only be slaughtered once. After it was slaughtered and eaten, it would be gone. His goal was to continuously take wool from Shanks. Therefore, he did not treat Shanks as a fat sheep. To be more precise, Shanks should be a sheep in his eyes. He kept cutting the sheep's wool, and after cutting it, he would grow it again and again... especially a good sheep like Shanks was rare.
"The problem is that I don't see your sincerity. I only see a treacherous merchant.”Shanks said angrily.
"Let's put this question aside for now. Let's talk business first.”Lawton pointed at the equipment under his feet and smiled."The quality of my things is very good. Do you want some?”
"That's right, Captain. No matter what the purpose of the open-air brother is. I think we need to get a new batch of equipment.”
Jasper looked at the Barrett, his eyes almost glowing. Although he had never seen it before, his knowledge as a top sniper and his years of research on firearms told him that it was a top-notch gun.
The perfect streamlined lines and sci-fi structure were completely different from the guns of this era. All of them were deeply attractive to Jesus! He had reason to believe that if he could equip this gun, he had reason to believe that his strength would increase by at least 20%.
"That makes sense. Then, our esteemed Mr. Profiteer, please introduce your item.”Shanks clenched the word 'profiteer' so tightly that he almost squeezed it out from between his teeth. It was obvious that he was full of resentment.
"There's no need to introduce them one by one. Tell me, what kind of equipment do you need? I can give you some recommendations. Don't worry about me exaggerating. As an honest businessman, my professional code is that I will never sell useless things to customers. Please believe in my integrity.”
Of course, Lawton would not reveal all his secrets. As a qualified businessman, he knew very well what he should and should not say.
"Brother Lawton, introduce this gun.”Jesus rushed over and grabbed the Barrett.
"Hey."
Ben Beckman sighed to himself. Actually, he liked this gun very much, but as the vice-captain, he couldn't snatch something from his companion. Moreover, in terms of marksmanship, Jesus was indeed the strongest in the pirate group, so this gun was indeed more suitable for him.
Lawton had no objections and introduced,"" First of all, this gun is called the Barrett. At present, there should only be one of this gun in this world. The caliber is 12.7mm, the speed of the bullet is more than 10 times the speed of sound, the effective range is 12,000 meters, and the maximum range is 20,000 meters. If you buy this gun at the same time, I will also give you 100 rounds of all kinds of bullets, including but not limited to armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, explosive bullets, and so on. It is very powerful…At least, there should be nothing in this world that can stop its shots. It is definitely a must-have equipment for a monk to kill and set fire.”
"What a good gun."
Hearing the data that Lawton had given him, Jesus was not satisfied. He couldn't be more satisfied. Although his strength was mainly reflected in his gun, his attainments were very high in both the Soul-grade Haki and the Armament Haki. However, due to the abnormal development of technology in this era, the power of guns was insufficient, resulting in his ability to not be able to fully display his strength.
But now that he had this Barrett, he had reason to believe that he would definitely be able to surprise all his opponents in the next battle with the other pirates.
"Then, customer, do you need it?" Seeing that Jesus didn't react this way, Lawton smiled. It was good to be anxious. The more anxious he was, the more he could raise the price.
"Of course, but how much is the price?”
"I got this gun through a very special channel. It's probably the only one in the entire world, so it's a little more expensive. My original selling price should be 20 million Bailey, but for Luffy's sake, I won't take this money from you. I'll give you a 10% discount, and you can take 18 million Bailey.”
The omnipotent Luffy appeared once again and successfully took the blame.
"18 million, isn't that too expensive?”
Although he was already mentally prepared and knew that such a good gun would not be cheap, after hearing Lawton's offer, Jesus still felt a bit of a headache. This price was almost equivalent to the value of Crick, the strongest overlord of the East China Sea in ten years.
"I have no choice. This is my purchase price. You can't possibly make me sell it to you at a loss, right?”Lawton spread out his hands to show that he was also very helpless. He pretended to be innocent and completely ignored the suggested price on the system interface. 1 million Bailey.
"This…alright." Clearly, Jesus wasn't the kind of person who knew how to do business. When he saw Lawton being so kind, he immediately agreed without any hesitation. He didn't realize that Lawton was blackmailing him.
"But I don't have that much money now.”Jesus said embarrassedly. After all, 18 million Bailey was a huge sum. He couldn't possibly carry so much money with him. Lawton even suspected that he didn't have that much money.
"If you don't have money, then why are you saying so much?”
Lawton was speechless. He had said so much, which was equivalent to putting on makeup for a blind man. If he didn't have that much money, why would he ask for the price? You made me happy for nothing.
"But I can exchange it with something. I wonder if I can?”
Fortunately, what Jesus said next made things turn around. At the same time, it also made Lawton smile.
"Of course. I also support bartering here, but I don't accept everything. At least it has to be hard currency.”There was no doubt that the system supported bartering. In fact, from a certain perspective, bartering was more cost-effective than trading with money. However, the system did not want everything. Otherwise, if someone used a large amount of trash to exchange for it (if there was a large amount of trash, it would be very valuable), would Lawton also trade with him?
"I wonder what it is?"
Lawton's interest was piqued. Could it be the Devil's Fruit? However, that shouldn't be the case. The rubber fruit of the red-haired pirates should have been snatched from an enemy ship after going out to sea in the East China Sea. They had just arrived, so the rubber fruit shouldn't have been in their hands yet. Could it be that he remembered wrongly? Or was it because of his appearance that the plot became chaotic?
