The celestial gold aboard the luxurious cruise ship of the Celestial Dragons was divided into four parts at the suggestion of Rocks.
Originally, Bob thought that since he had discovered the treasure, it should all belong to him.
However, he didn't expect that the rule of the Rocks Pirates was, when a massive treasure is found, each crew mber gets a share of it.
Upon realizing this, Bob couldn't help but curse inwardly. Had he known this earlier, he would just stash the treasure sowhere!
Moreover, seeing Rocks' sly smile, Bob had every reason to suspect that this rule was hastily made after seeing the celestial gold.
The distribution of the celestial gold was as follows: Bob received fifty percent, Rocks took twenty percent, the other commanders got twenty percent, and the remaining crew mbers shared from the ten percent.
Even just ten percent was a significant fortune for each crew mber, given the sheer volu of the celestial gold.
The pirates who received their shares were overjoyed and ecstatic.
Amid the cheers of the crew, Bob montarily beca a "hero" within the Rocks Pirates, gaining imnse popularity.
As he stepped out of the luxurious cruise ship, Shiki couldn't hide his delight. He hadn't expected to benefit from Bob's discovery, considering it an advantage to the crew, but his mind began racing at the thought of how he might profit from Bob's find.
The wealth he gained from the celestial gold was enough to sustain him for several years.
Just as he was about to return to his room with his treasure, Bob suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shiki was startled, thinking Bob had co to reclaim his share. Without hesitation, he clutched his treasure and tried to make a run for his room, But Bob's figure was like a ghost, blocking his path on another direction he tried to turn.
"Shiki! Why are you so nervous? It's just one lost!"
"Relax, I'm not here to take your treasure back!"
Bob placed a hand on Shiki shoulder and spoke calmly.
At this mont, Shiki was holding onto his share of the celestial gold. Bob imdiately understood what he was avoiding.
"What? , nervous? Don't be ridiculous!"
"It was just a fluke that you beat once! No need to show off. I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
Hearing that Bob wouldn't take his treasure back, Shiki deanor shifted instantly, and he spoke with fervor.
"Yeah, yeah! No need to be nervous!"
"I ca to talk to you about sothing."
"After you lost to last ti, I never brought up the condition of our bet."
Bob had sothing important to discuss and didn't want to provoke Shiki further, so he went along with his words.
The condition of their previous bet had never been ntioned, but now Bob suddenly rembered and decided to bring it up.
"Alright!"
"Go ahead, what's your demand?"
Shiki expression stiffened upon hearing this. Knowing he couldn't avoid it, he sighed and asked.
"I don't want any of your treasure or anything else!"
"All I need is for you to help keep Charlotte Linlin from bothering !"
Bob gazed at Shiki, knowing he could not sidestep this condition.
Upon hearing this, Shiki was montarily stunned. He had been secretly pleased by the first part of the statent, but the latter part left him feeling uneasy. "Damn it! I don't want to ss with that crazy woman! You'd better handle this yourself!"
Charlotte Linlin, within the Rocks Pirates, was notorious for her tendency to fly into a rage at the slightest provocation. People avoided her like the plague!
Although Shiki wasn't afraid of her—even if she went berserk, he could still stab her, but still it was undoubtedly a thankless task.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Bob eyes instantly turned cold. His eyelids lowered, and his gaze fixed on Shiki as he slowly spoke.
"I don't like forcing others. Since you're unwilling, I won't insist."
"Now, let's change the condition. Hand over your swords Oto and Kogarashi to ."
Bob's voice seed to emanate from an ice cellar, sending a shiver down Shiki spine.
Shiki understood that Bob was forcing him to choose between two options, and if he refused both, Bob would resort to force.
Shiki let out a bitter laugh, his face twisting into a grimace.
'What a ss! Why did I ever challenge Bob? The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.'
"Sigh! I'll choose Charlotte Linlin then!"
Shiki didn't hesitate any longer. Giving up those two legendary swords was out of the question, so his choice was already made the mont Bob made his demand.
"That's right! That's more like it!"
"It's just blocking soone, right? For a swordsman of your caliber, a world-class top-tier powerhouse, it's a piece of cake!"
Bob patted Shiki on the shoulder, smiling as he spoke.
Shiki, hearing this, cursed Bob in his mind thousands of tis, thinking how quickly he changed his tune.
But none of that mattered to Bob. As long as Shiki agreed, his goal was achieved.
Just as he was about to leave, Bob's gaze fell on Charlotte Linlin, who had been watching him from afar and was now walking toward them.
A faint smile played on Bob's lips as he slowly said, "Shiki, your job starts here."
