Therefore, even Pulming Saint was envious of the 100 billion Berry bounty offered by Tesoro, as such a large sum was equivalent to almost 20 years of his salary.

Sake makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts.

Pullminger Saint, who was still hesitant, completely abandoned his plan to return after hearing about the bounty.

Not only that, he was also thinking that, given his friendship with Tesoro, if he could lend a helping hand in his time of need, he could ask for even more money in the bounty.

After all, he is a noble Celestial Dragon, incomparable to those lowly commoners. It's likely that Tesoro, considering his noble Celestial Dragon bloodline, will not be stingy with money.

When Purminger thought of this, his eyes lit up, and he wished he could immediately grab his money.

However, after his initial excitement, he regained his composure. He knew that he couldn't solve this problem by himself and needed the help of CP0 members and a Marine Admiral.

As a Celestial Dragon, he wasn't brainless; rather, many times, he didn't need to use his brain at all. He could do whatever he wanted simply by virtue of his Celestial Dragon status, so he was usually too lazy to put in the effort.

Immediately, Purming stared intently at CP0 and Fujitora and said, "You should have heard what the butler said. Tesoro has a bounty of 10 billion Berries on his head. If we can help him get out of this predicament, then this money will be ours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Purming clearly noticed the look of interest in the eyes of the three CP0 members. It seemed that Tesoro's 100 billion Berry bounty had already tempted them.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything else in Fujitora's eyes, simply because Fujitora was blind, and he simply couldn't read a blind man's mind.

However, none of that matters. If CP0 was tempted by this money, Pullminger instinctively assumed that Fujitora would also be tempted.

"Then how does Your Excellency intend to distribute this money?" Guernica hesitated for a moment, but still asked through gritted teeth, as it concerned her own interests. The other two CP0 members also stared intently at Saint Pulming.

Although the CP organization is the Celestial Dragons' direct bodyguard, rescuing Tesoro would be extremely dangerous. If they couldn't get enough benefits, they would naturally be unwilling to take the risk.

"Hmph, how dare you talk about money with the noble Celestial Dragons? That's outrageous! Don't forget your status as guards." Although Saint Purminger had already prepared to share some of the profits, he ultimately wanted to try to use his Celestial Dragon status to pressure the other party. After all, getting something for free was the best option; if they really couldn't reach an agreement, they could talk about other things.

“Since that’s what you say, sir, I think it’s better to avoid trouble. Let’s go back to Mary Geoise.” Gismonda said unhappily when he heard that Saint Pulming wanted to get something for free.

"You, you all, fine, very fine, forget it, the great Saint Purminger will be magnanimous today and will give you one hundred million Berries." Saint Purminger said through gritted teeth, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Return, return!" Guernica's face turned ashen with anger upon hearing Purming Saint's offer. Too lazy to say anything more, she simply turned and left.

Wanting a horse to run but not wanting it to eat grass is truly wishful thinking. Although CP0 is subordinate to the Celestial Dragons, they also have their own dignity. They are not slaves in the hands of the other side, whose lives and deaths are controlled by them.

"3 million, that's the lowest we can go..."

"5 million? You're far too greedy..."

"If it's any more than 10 billion, I absolutely will not agree..."

Despite the ever-increasing price offered by Purming Saint, Guernica and the others remained unmoved and quickly walked to the edge of the deck, preparing to leave.

"I order you to stop right now. We can talk this out." Seeing that the three CP0 members were really about to leave, Saint Pulming's expression finally changed, and he called out to them.

“My lord, since you have no sincerity, I think we should turn back.” Gismonda said disdainfully.

"If you're not satisfied with the price I offered, then name one for me," said Saint Purminger, his face dark. If his slaves and private army weren't lacking in skilled fighters, he would never have spoken to CP0 members in such a humble manner; it was truly beneath the dignity of the Celestial Dragons.

"50 billion Berries, we want 50 billion Berries," Guernica stated his price.

"What? That's absolutely impossible! Why should you lowly commoners get the same amount as me? That's impossible! Otherwise, I'd rather not go at all!" Upon hearing Guernica's words, Saint Purming was so angry that he blurted out whatever came to mind.

When the three CP0 members heard Saint Pulming call them commoners, their faces darkened instantly. They then looked at him coldly and said, "If you are unwilling, sir, then let's turn back. We don't want to risk our lives."

After saying that, Joseph took the lead and used Moonwalk to leave the luxury cruise ship.

When Saint Pudding saw that the other party had actually left, his face was contorted with worry for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, 5 billion Berries it is, but Fujitora's share must also be included in this amount."

Gismonda was about to say something when he was interrupted by Saint Purming, who said, "This is my bottom line. If you still don't know what's good for you, I'll just apply to the Holy Land again to replace the personnel. I believe that 50 billion Berries is enough to tempt the other CP0 members."

"Deal." Guernica looked at the resolute Pulming Saint, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

"Now that the deal is done, you must leave my ship immediately. I don't want to see you for even a minute longer. Steward, you are in charge of overseeing this matter. Make sure they leave right now." After seeing that the other party had agreed to the request, Saint Pulming said angrily and turned to walk towards the cabin.

"Please, gentlemen," the butler in the suit said with a smile to the CP0 members and Fujitora.

"Admiral Fujitora, the 50 billion Berries will be split among the four of us, 12.5 billion Berries each. Once we get the money, I will personally deliver your share to you. Let's go back and prepare. Hopefully, it won't be a tough battle later." Guernica said to Fujitora as his butler saw him off, and then returned to his flagship with Gismonda.

"I don't think I ever agreed to that," Fujitora said with a wry smile, scratching his head after noticing that the CP0 members had left.

He didn't offer a single opinion from beginning to end; the matter was settled by the other party in just a few words, without anyone asking for his opinion.
