Pirate Merchant

In the cake castle hall, Mu Qian was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking coffee, while Charlotte Lingling was sitting at the huge dining table, grabbing a special mille-feuille cake and devouring it. The horrible swallowing sound made the children around her We were worried about whether we would be caught by her who was excited to eat and ate it into my stomach.

"Very delicious coffee, Brin, your coffee making skills are really getting better and better, have another cup, thank you."

Looking at the members of the Big Mom Pirates fidgeting around, Mu Qian opened his mouth to divert their attention. It's no wonder they were so afraid of their own mother. The sense of oppression is really too strong.

"No more, I have to drink and soak myself."

Brin, who was much calmer than most of the brothers and sisters present, shook the coffee pot after filling the coffee for Charlotte Owen. After realizing that there was no more coffee in the coffee pot, she said to Muqian without looking back. .

"Brin, go make coffee, just use the batch of cocoa beans that were delivered yesterday."

Charlotte Lingling, who was munching on the mille-feuille cake, suddenly stopped eating the cake, turned her head without a smile on her face, and ordered Brin with an angry look.

"Good mother."

Unexpectedly, Brin, who angered her mother because she refused to make coffee for Mu Qian, hurriedly agreed, and then strode towards the kitchen with the coffee pot.

"You are too strict with the children. By the way, Yijie, how does my batch of sweet-scented osmanthus cake taste? Can you sell it in your territorial waters?"

Mu Qian looked at Brin who walked into the kitchen apologetically, and then asked Charlotte Lingling after sorting out his remarks.

"Of course! Mamama~ As long as you want to sell desserts! I welcome them all! Not enough, I want to take 30% of the trade volume."

Charlotte Lingling laughed happily, and she was very talkative now that her stomach was satisfied with delicious desserts.

"Of course there is no problem. However, my merchant will not pay your soul. For my merchant, one month's lifespan is a wealth that I cannot afford to lose."

At Charlotte Lingling's request, Mu Qian also began to bargain.

"Of course, they are not my people, but my brother's people. I don't need to charge them lifespan, but I want to increase the trade volume to 35%!"

Charlotte Lingling laughed wildly and said to Mu Qian.

"35%? It's a bit too much, up to 31%. I didn't intend to set a too high price. If you charge too much trade volume, the forced price increase will lead to lower sales."

Now that it was time to bargain, Mu Qian sat up in an orderly manner and began to discuss the distribution of the trade volume with Charlotte Lingling.

"32.5% of the transaction, if this is the case, everyone can make a profit by taking the middle amount in this way."

During nearly an hour of discussion, Mu Qian and Charlotte Lingling finally determined the final trade volume ratio.

"Then, since sister Yi is in a good mood today, how about discussing the trade volume of commodities such as grain, wheat, various types of meat, and beverages?"

After talking about a small matter to test the waters, Mu Qian, who was sure that Charlotte Lingling was in good condition, took out a large stack of documents from Taotie's mouth with a smile, and was gearing up to start discussing with Charlotte Lingling. The big event that can control the future of the Kingdom of Totland.

"Ah~Happy and happy~ Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with the method of using small things to make up the knife first, and you will return with a full load and return with a full load~"

Mu Qian, who was walking in the cake castle, looked at the thick documents in his hand, almost all of which were much lower than expected, and hummed a ditty in a happy mood.

"Hey! Bastard! Don't you want coffee?! Thanks to my hard work of grinding, washing paper, and filtering, it took me more than three hours to brew the coffee! But you disappeared?!"

Mu Qian, who was walking towards his room, bumped into Bu Lin, who was carrying a tray, and it was obvious that Mu Qian, who had been looking for Mu Qian for a long time, immediately scolded him.

"Forehead"

Looking at the bulging and pouting girl in front of her, Mu Qian, who had indeed forgotten that Brin was making coffee for herself, was so humble that she didn't know how to answer Brin.

"Sorry, sorry, I talked with your mother and forgot about it. I'm getting old and I'm getting Alzheimer's."

Since she made a mistake, Mu Qian also readily admitted her mistake to Brin. After all, she asked Brin for coffee, which caused her to be scolded by Charlotte Lingling to make coffee again, so this matter went wrong from the beginning to the end. It's all about yourself.

"Indeed, you are dementia!"

Brin pouted and walked to Mu Qian's side, then took a tray and prepared to follow Mu Qian to find a place to sit down and drink coffee.

"Hehe, let me serve it."

Mu Qian took the silver tray she was holding from Brin, and then walked towards his own room in Cake Castle.

"Boss, are you back?"

However, as Mu Qian pushed open the door of the room with a tray in one hand, it was not the cake castle that Brin was familiar with, but the slightly unfamiliar bridge office of the Mothership of Fortune.

And the blond woman with glasses was sitting on the desk writing materials, and the door fruit ability user was standing at the door and looking down at him.

"Ah, the work was successfully completed, and it was easier than expected."

Mu Qian slightly turned his head and nodded to Brin, and then entered the office together with her. Bruno, who was more and more proficient in the door fruit ability, closed the door after Brin followed into the office.

"Good coffee?"

Smelling the smell of coffee, Khalifa frowned and raised her head to look at the exquisite gold and silver coffee pot in Mu Qian's hand, and asked Mu Qian expectantly, she had never smelled this kind of coffee before.

"Hehe, this coffee is my favorite, and only I can drink it. I won't give it to you for any amount of money. I'll make instant coffee for you."

Realizing that Peace Kalifa wanted to drink coffee, Mu Qian put the coffee pot on the coffee table with a smile. He would not be so stupid as to give Kalifa the coffee that Brin made for himself in front of her.

After directly refusing to give Kalifa coffee, Muqian went to the water purifier and picked up a disposable cup, then picked up the coffee bar on the side and tore it open to make a cup of instant coffee for Kalifa and brought it over.

". The taste is okay, but the water is too little, and the taste is a bit too strong."

Khalifa, who took a sip of coffee, held the paper cup with both hands, and commented on the instant coffee that Mu Qian made for him with reddish cheeks. At this time, she could no longer smell the aroma in the coffee pot, and she could feel the instant coffee in her hand. Sweeter and more delicious than any coffee.

"Tsk, you still need to comment even if you drink instant coffee? After drinking strong coffee, you will be refreshed. You can go back to sleep after you mess with this crap. You don't even look at how thick your own dark circles are. I have told you countless things. Once again, the secretary team is not enough to recruit people immediately, and the third mothership, Water City, will be paid to me soon, do you still want to manage three motherships by yourself?"

Mu Qian grumbled angrily about Kalifa who didn't know how long she hadn't had a good rest, thinking about whether he should find a time to give her a vacation of one or two months, and let her have a good rest.

"Hmph, if you were a little bit more diligent, boss, would I be so tired?"

Khalifa sipped her coffee, and she asked Mu Qian angrily after being taught a lesson by Mu Qian.

"I've worked so hard all over the world to be a sales boss just to find troublesome jobs to embarrass me? Don't ask too much for recruiting a secretary. You don't have enough ability, but you can recruit and train people with potential first. Don't mess yourself up. Exhausted."

Mu Qian poured himself the coffee that Brin made for him, took a sip beautifully and said to Kalifa who was looking for something to do for him.

".I will."

To Mu Qian's surprise, Kalifa, the perfect strong woman, did not refute his negative work proposal this time, but nodded in agreement, which stunned Mu Qian, who had rarely persuaded Kalifa again.

"It's best if you understand. I'm going to give you a long vacation of half a month. You need to take a good rest and adjust your status. Although your work is really good, there are some jobs that you really don't need to grasp. Too tight, let the people below learn to do it, let them learn to do it, even if they make a mistake, it will be a lesson to urge them to progress and grow."

Mu Qian nodded in satisfaction and continued to talk to Kalifa, and decided to give Kalifa a half-month leave to let her have a good rest.

"Ok, no problem."

Khalifa looked down at the coffee that Mu Qian made for herself, her eyes were a little absent-minded, and she agreed. At this time, she didn't hear what Mu Qian was saying. She just felt that as long as it was what Mu Qian wanted, she would Are willing to agree.

"...Well, why don't you use the fruit ability to look at her memory? I think she must have been taken away?"

Khalifa agreed without hesitation again, making Mu Qian wonder if Kalifa was being manipulated by someone, so he asked Brin who was sitting next to him in a low voice.

"idiot."

During Mu Qian's worried question, Brin crossed her arms and turned her head away from Mu Qian. Feeling inexplicably upset, she didn't bother to answer Mu Qian's idiot question.

"Mr. Mu, you're back? I've already told the Straw Hats what you said, but they won't come to drive away the Meri in the near future. Here is the money they gave me. They want you to take the Meri away." transformed into a spaceship."

Just when Muqian was being ignored by Kalifa and Brin, and he was drinking coffee with an embarrassed expression, Reiju fell from the balcony outside the office, carrying a big bag of things, and she came to Muqian's room with the pile of heavy things beside.

After putting down the things on the shoulders and opening it, the gold and precious stones worth more than one billion are shining under the light.

"Isn't this fake golden book given to them? Why did it change hands and then sent it back to me?"

Mu Qian looked at the big bag of gold, complaining about Nami's cunning.

"If it's just the remodeling fee, then the money is already over the limit. Could it be that they also remodel the Sonny? Will Frankie agree?"

Mu Qian, who roughly calculated the value of this batch of treasures, quickly guessed Nami's real purpose for giving so many treasures at once.

"Of course, Mr. Franky is very much in favor of modifying the flying device, and is very much looking forward to studying the structure of the flying device."

Reiju smiled and nodded.

"Really? The price of remodeling two ships is not enough. Forget it, let's treat it as a friendly price. Tell Franky for me. I will ask someone to sort out the materials and put them together with the design drawings." If it is handed over to him, it will be no problem to assemble it on the Sonny with his ability, but for the Meili, I should do it myself, Meili doesn’t like others to touch her.”

Makuken, who was extra generous to the Straw Hats, nodded and said to Reiju.

"Okay, I'm going to use the phone bug to tell them."

Reiju looked at the sulking Bryn next to Mu Qian, and looked at Kalifa who was holding a paper cup in front of the desk as if she was lost. Feeling that the atmosphere here was weird, she immediately turned around and fled from here to avoid being involved. Enter this Shura field.

"Taotie, where are you going?!"

Not long after Reijiu left, Taotie also climbed up from Mu Qian's pants. Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, it ran back out the door with its tail between its legs and its head lowered, and Mu Qian's voice This made Taotie, who was already at the door, escape even faster.

"Asshole, you left me here alone."

Mu Qian complained angrily about the Taotie that had slipped away.

"Um, Brynn, Kalifa, I heard that the Water City is holding the Masked Carnival for the water launching ceremony today. Do you want to go to the Water City for a walk?"

Mu Qian, who was racking his brains to alleviate the embarrassment in the embarrassing atmosphere, suddenly thought of the launching ceremony of Mothership No. 3 the day after tomorrow. The entire city of Water City was in a carnival at this time, so he immediately wanted to use Water City to divert the embarrassment.

"Masked Carnival?! I'm going, I'm going! Ah, is this Sister Brynn? I've seen your photos! I didn't expect you to be cuter in person than in the photos!!!"

As soon as Mu Qian made the invitation, he happened to open the door and walk in. Nokigao, who had not noticed the awkward atmosphere, immediately agreed.

"Hello"

Brynn, who was grabbed by Nozhigao's hands, said hello to Nozhigao a little shyly.

"Hello, my name is Nokigao, nice to meet you! Hey, idiot, what's wrong with Kalifa? Why does she look listless?"

At this time, Nokigao, who also noticed that something was wrong with Kalifa, raised her hand, poked Mu Qian's waist with her elbow, and asked Mu Qian doubtfully.

"I don't know, maybe she's too tired? I remember she hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, right?"

Muqian rubbed his chin and racked his brains to analyze why Kalifa became like this, but even though he could calculate the future at full strength, he couldn't figure out why Kalifa suddenly became lazy and soft.

"You didn't do anything evil to her, right?"

Nokiko, who was worried about Mu Qian, let go of Bulin's little hand, put his hands on his hips and asked Mu Qian vigorously.

"Please forgive me. I'm willing to go to the Navy Headquarters to assassinate the Admiral, but you want me to bully my Secretary-General Khalifa? Do you think I'm extremely dissatisfied with my leisurely life most of the time now?" ?”

Mu Qian rolled his eyes at Nuoqi who questioned him, complaining that she spoke without thinking through her brain. She would not bully anyone she bullied, but she would bully her secretaries. They were the ones who could support her so easily. She had nothing to do with smashing her own shield. What to do?

"Well, I'm pretty sure the culprit is you."

Nokigao looked at Kalifa who was absentmindedly holding the paper cup in both hands, and nodded like a presiding judge, declaring that it was Mu Qian's entire fault that Kalifa became like this.
