"Poor fellow."

Colt glanced at Sasuke, his expression one of disdain.

Sasuke's face flushed with anger as Colt deactivated his Rinnegan technique.

But before the connection was lost, he managed to hear a few more things. Deliberately by Colt of course.

"He can't even scrape together 500 million Berries," Colt said with a smirk.

"And this guy is supposed to be a new emperor of the New World?"

He shook his head mockingly.

"Even Kakuzu, with all his greed, knew how to make ends meet. But you're just Pitiful."

The words cut deep.

Sasuke's pride-normally unshaken-felt pierced.

He had always cared little for wealth, believing strength alone was enough to carry him.

But Colt's comments gnawed at him.

Determined not to let the insult stand, Sasuke marched out of the cabin, his expression dark with purpose.

On deck, Marco and Diamond Jozu were locked in a conversation when Sasuke approached them both.

His sharp tone broke through their banter.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Marco," Sasuke began, his voice unyielding, "Which pirate group in the New World is the richest?"

Marco paused, surprised by the abrupt question.

"What's this about? Need some berries?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Why not just take it from Thatch?"

Thatch, the Whitebeard Pirates' chef, also managed the crew's finances.

"No," Sasuke replied bluntly.

"Whitebeard's crew barely has enough to get by as it is. I'm asking who holds the most wealth so I can take it myself."

He decided that from now on, he needed to have money under his name, at any case and at any time. Just in case.

But even though the crew could give him money, that was nowhere near enough for what he needed.

Marco exchanged a glance with Jozu, both slightly stunned by Sasuke's directness.

'He certainly can do it, strength wise...'

"Well," Marco said, scratching his head, "Red-Hair is out. That guy is always broke and never stays in one place for long anyway. You wouldn't find him even if you tried."

"Then it's between Kaido and Big Mom," Jozu added.

Sasuke listened closely as Marco elaborated.

Jozu interjected with a laugh.

"Big Mom? Rich? Don't kid yourself. That woman probably spends every Berry she gets on sweets and food. Her obsession with desserts is legendary."

Marco nodded in agreement. "Yeah, her wealth doesn't last long. If you're looking for money, Kaido's your best bet."

"Kaido has dealings with the World Government. They pay him big money for his resources, so he's definitely wealthy."

Sasuke's resolve hardened. As he thought about it more, he finally decided what to do.

"Fine," he said. "Then I'll go find Kaido."

He would beat him up, take his money, and become the richest pirate.

'Let's see if anyone would call me broke at that moment'

He turned to leave, but Jozu's voice stopped him.

"Hold on," Jozu said, his tone thoughtful.

"There's someone else to consider or rather, a ship: The Gran Tesoro owned by the Golden Emperor, Gild Tesoro."

Sasuke frowned.

"Gild Tesoro? Who is that? What kind of arrogant title is the 'Golden Emperor'?"

Meanwhile, in Water 7, Colt, Robin, and Nami strolled through the bustling streets, making their way to the Galley-La Company's headquarters.

The famed shipyard was known for crafting some of the most exceptional ship vessels in the world.

They were greeted warmly by Iceberg, the company president.

Beside him stood his secretary, Kalifa, her sharp eyes assessing the newcomers.

"Welcome!" Iceberg said.

"What kind of ship are you looking to build? Whatever you need, we'll make it happen."

Colt's gaze flicked briefly to Kalifa, noting the faint intrigue in her expression.

She seemed particularly focused on Robin. Colt made a mental note of her reaction but turned

his attention back to Iceberg.

"My requirements are a bit special..."

"I want a ship that can be steered by a single person and powered by fire," Colt said.

Iceberg's professional demeanor remained steady.

"That's an interesting request," he replied.

"What about the materials?"

"The hull must be made of Treasure Tree Adam," Colt said without hesitation.

Iceberg's eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of the rare and costly wood.

"Treasure Tree Adam is the most expensive material in the world," he said. "Are you prepared

for the cost?"

Colt smirked.

"Money isn't a problem. I'll pay a 500 million Berry upfront."

Satisfied with Colt's confidence, Iceberg gestured to his staff to begin drafting plans.

Nami and Robin stepped forward to discuss the finer details.

Nami, ever meticulous, outlined a long list of features: a library, an exercise room, a hot spring, and a space to plant her beloved orange trees.

Robin added her own requirements, ensuring the ship was not only functional but also a comfortable haven.

Iceberg listened intently, though sweat began to bead on his brow as the list grew longer.

After hours of calculations, Iceberg finally delivered his estimate.

"To meet your specifications," he began, "the ship will cost two billion Berries and take three months to complete."

Colt's eyebrow twitched at the staggering figure but nodded. "Fine," he said.

"Build it."

Iceberg's relief was palpable-this was the biggest contract his Company had ever taken on.

As the meeting concluded, Colt turned his attention to Kalifa.

"Before we leave," he said, his tone casual, "I'd like to speak with your secretary alone. She

seems... interesting."

Kalifa's expression remained neutral, but her sharp eyes flicked briefly to Robin before

settling back on Colt.
