Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 10 Goddess Charm

After successfully coaxing Luffy with a plate of bird's egg fried rice, Lin Zhi decisively closed the door of the restaurant and once again put up the "Suspended" wooden sign.

"Really Lin Zhi, if Luffy wants to stay here, let him stay."

Aqua, who was still unfinished, was lying on the dining table, mumbling and complaining.

"Now is not the time to take your time and play around, Aqua." Lin Zhiyu said seriously.

As he spoke, he walked to the only other dining table and took out the gray package that Ace had left behind from under the table.

Untie the slip knot on top and spread out the four corners of the cloth, revealing the golden gold and silver jewelry.

There are jade inlaid with precious stones, rings made of pure gold, and sparkling pendants...

"Lin Zhi! Is this what you said this morning about making money? You, you actually deceived those two children out of their money!"

Aqua blinked her clear eyes, remembering the conversation between Lin Zhi and Ace Sabo just now, her brain suddenly became more flexible, and she could guess the general idea at once.

Lin Zhi leaned over to count the treasures and replied without raising his head: "Transactions between men cannot be considered cheating."

He is a person with a new bottom line. Compared to villains like the bandit Sigriz Bear, Essab's money will definitely not be stolen.

If the bandits can be successfully annihilated and a bounty of 800 million is obtained, returning the money will not be a problem at all.

If the action ends in failure, they will run away in despair...

It can also be regarded as a good lesson for Ace Sabo who has not yet gone to sea, what is the evil people in the pirate society.

Well, no matter what, Ace and Sabo both deserve it!
"What is a deal between men? It's too bad Lin Zhi." Aqua's eyebrows were frivolous, and her words were full of contempt.

Who do you think put me in this embarrassing situation? !
Being so despised by the retarded goddess, the corner of Lin Zhi's mouth twitched.

After suppressing the urge to beat up Aqua, he repackaged the treasures that Essab had stolen, stood up and asked seriously: "Aqua, do you think your value is compared to these treasures?" ,How about it?"

"How can a mere human treasure be compared with this goddess?"

Aqua snorted arrogantly, completely unaware that she had fallen into Lin Zhi's trap.

"So let's mortgage you to them. This way you can make the best use of your money."

"Ah?"

Aqua was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolling, "You said it was a transaction between men. If you interfere easily, even if you are a goddess, it will be difficult for me to handle it!"

"Ha, trash goddess." Lin Zhi snorted coldly.

"Aha, ahaha, let's not pay too much attention to strange things."

Thinking of the fragrant fried rice, Aqua decisively chose to endure it, looked at the package placed on the table and changed the subject, "Then what are you going to do with all the money? Build me a luxurious goddess palace?"

"...Do you think I would cheat on, ahem, negotiate this deal between men for such a boring thing?" Lin Zhi said speechlessly.

"This is not a boring thing! Lin Zhi, let me tell you..."

Aqua was about to explain the benefits of building the goddess palace with nonsense, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Zhi.

"Summoning you borrowed a lot of money from the villagers. You need to pay it back first, and then build a ship for sailing."

"Are you making money just to pay back the money? That's so boring."

Aqua successfully picked up the topic and said enthusiastically, "How about we have a party tonight and drink heavily!"

The cute face is full of expectations, but where is the look of righteous condemnation just now?

Lin Zhi stepped forward, really not wanting to talk to this stupid goddess.

Aqua, who was addicted to alcohol, saw this and hurriedly followed, still chattering.

Blown by the fresh sea breeze, the two left the restaurant and embarked on the road to repay the villagers' debts.

To Lin Zhi's surprise, the treasures accumulated by Essab were converted into equivalent banknotes, which turned out to be as much as 150 million beli!For two young children living in an uncertain terminal with a harsh environment, this is quite a staggering amount.

You know, apart from the initial investment and renovation, the restaurant’s monthly turnover is only about ten or two hundred thousand!

"As expected, he is indeed a guy who will become the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army in future generations..."

Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Windmill Village is not big, with only a few dozen households in total. You can basically walk to the end of the village along the main road of the village from the sea port.

According to the normal plot, it won't take long to pay off the debt, and you can quickly get into the production and construction of the sailboat.

However, with Aqua around, how could the plot develop as planned?

After learning and seeing with their own eyes that Lin Zhi, a "distant relative", had serious mental and intellectual problems, the kind and honest villagers showed great generosity and enthusiastically presented fruits, pork and other local specialties.

What's more, he couldn't bear to see such a cute and beautiful girl being so crazy, so he generously waived Lin Zhi's debt!
After walking around Windmill Village, Lin Zhi not only didn't pay back much money, but was covered in vegetables, fruits and other food.

At once……

It's outrageous!

"Ah hahaha, I didn't expect that there are so many followers of the Axis Cult hidden in this small village!"

Aqua walked briskly, holding the free wine she received from the tavern proprietress Maginot in her arms, and looked at Lin Zhi next to her with a very proud look.

"You see how pious the eyes of those people without Lin Zhi are. This is the charm of Aqua, the goddess of water!"

"Are you sure their eyes are pious?" Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sad for this guy.

That is clearly a look of care for the mentally retarded!

"You are just jealous, but I won't blame you."

Aqua put her fair face against the wine bottle and rubbed it, "After all, the gap between an ordinary restaurant owner and a noble goddess is really too big!"

"If this last remaining creditor will still be generous because of his status as the Water Goddess, I will admit that your charm is indeed worthy of the name."

Lin Zhi raised his head and glanced at the endless forest at the end of the street, his tone surprisingly calm.

Aqua had already floated into the sky at this time, patting her broad chest and promising: "There is no problem at all, just leave it to this goddess!"

"They are the bandits I mentioned before, the same people who beat you up this morning." Lin Zhi said slowly.

"Bandits, right? Let's leave quickly and come back early to drink."

Aqua took a step without thinking. After taking only two steps, she suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped suddenly.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Lin Zhi spread his hands expressionlessly: "You heard me right, they are vicious bandits entrenched in this area."

"what?!"

Thinking of the ferocious look of the group of people in the morning, Aqua's mouth twitched and she backed down very seriously, "Sir Lin Zhi, how about you go alone?"

Perhaps because Lin Zhi had mentioned the horror of pirates in the New World before, she now felt a little afraid when she heard the existence of "thieves".

"Without the powerful Lady Aqua following me, I can't do it alone." Lin Zhi shook his head gently.

"Really, that's it, Lin Zhi, you are really nerve-wracking."

Seeing Lin Zhi, who always despised and disliked her, turned out to be so dependent on her, Aqua's vanity suddenly exceeded her heart. She raised her head and raised her chest, showing an attitude that she was wrapped up in her own goddess.

"As expected of Lord Aqua!" Lin Zhi smiled calmly.

There was another sentence he didn't say out loud: It's so easy to fool~
