Chapter 3: Getting into Conflict

As he considered what to do with the pure gold coins, the robotic voice of the system echoed in his mind.

[In approximately one hundred meters, eleven different types of fish and two rare species of fish were found: Do you want to catch them? A network of energy will be consumed]

Robert exclaimed in his mind: 'Of course!'

Although he didn't understand the significance of rare species of fish, he felt that he shouldn't miss it.

*Whoosh!*

Robert: "..."

It was an amazing sight and he was barely able to follow with his eyes the moment the net shot off approximately 100 meters away that's when he saw the glimpse of the net open like a spider's web, expanding like the embrace of a giant octopus at extreme speed, soon reaching the limit possible, closes instantly.

[Capture successful! 9 species of common fish were captured, 1,113 fish, totaling 56,763 kg; two species of rare fish: 101 crown jewel fish, weighing 3,533 kilos, and a Star Ray, which weighs 1,300 kilos!]

'I think it's my first time hearing the name of these two types of fish... Maybe they exist on Earth, I just happen to not know, after all, I'm not knowledgeable in this matter.' Robert thought as soon as he heard the information from the system.

From the information present in his memory injected into his brain, he walked to the bottom of the ship and opened the compartment.

Deep down, it wasn't seawater, but a blank space. He reached out and caught a fish that was smaller than the size of an arm, a jeweled fish.

In fact, this was not a fish he was aware of, and it really did look like a gem. Its eyes were all shining with the color of precious stones, its eyes are like two pearls, and there is a fish with a kind of crown on its head.

Now he understands why this fish is called the crown jewel fish, it is quite appropriate.

The gem fish is two or three times the weight of common fish, had 27 gem fish,

Robert took them off and placed them on the floor of the ship.

Looking at Starray, most of its body was black, but it was covered in starspots like points of starlight. These stellar spots are bright and very visible in the sea, but they are also extremely dangerous.

This star is not an ordinary thing, similar to an electric eel, these stars are capable of producing electricity, only more powerful. Starray has over 5,000 volts of electricity.

'Something like that shouldn't exist on Earth...' Robert muttered.

Being hit with such an absurd voltage, plus if it was in the water it would be intensified...

While he was lost in his thoughts, the ship was approaching an island.

Robert rejoiced as he saw many boats around.

The surrounding boats were all wooden, and the largest were all similar to sailing ships, especially many large sails, exceeding up to 10 meters; the decor is absolutely luxurious, something that the money needed to buy on Earth can even surpass the price of a superyacht.

It's definitely not Earth, especially looking up at the island's high city wall and the extraordinarily visible palaces above. This is obviously otherworldly architecture!

Robert parked the Super Pirate Ship in a spot where it would be difficult for anyone to pay attention, and slowly he moved towards the urban area in front of him.

With the gem fish tied on a strong rope and placed behind his back, many passers-by went crazy looking at the gem fish.

The gem fish in this area was a treasure, apparently...

Strangely, he understood what they were talking about. Not that it's any language he knows, it wasn't even Japanese, since he himself knew that the universal language being Japanese in the anime was something for the anime's convenience, after all, what kind of world would everyone speak the same language?

On all islands, even different races, everyone spoke the same language.

Of course, there were some exceptions that appeared in the anime, even the fact that it had written that almost nobody would be able to read...

[The system has installed all the languages of this world in your brain for convenience]

He didn't ask, but he had his question answered.

So, that was why even though some spoke with strong accents, he could still understand...

Based on what the system said just now, the thought of everyone speaking the same Japanese language is bullshit. Well, it was to be expected. Anyway, he didn't want to waste time with random thoughts.

He starts to interact, trying to be as charismatic as possible, and soon he discovers some important information. One of them was that the price of each gem fish is definitely more than 100,000 Berry.

Something he never paid much attention to was the prices of things, so he could only rely on this world's used money.

Moeda: 1 Berry, 5 Berry, 10 Berry, 50 Berry, 100 Berry e 500 Berry.

Papel: 1.000 Berry, 5.000 Berry e 10.000 Berry.

That is just one gem fish yields at least 10 notes of 10,000 Berry.

Now he understands the greedy gaze of many, these are 27 precious gem fish, that is, a lot of money, surpassing two million Berry.

Robert could see it in their eyes looking at him in shock because a gem fish weighed over 30 kilos, and he carried 27 of them, that is, some 810 kilos being carried on his back.

This was something he couldn't dream of doing, as even at 200 kilos it would be difficult for him, especially walking around with that much weight on his back.

Well, that just proves that he's gotten stronger since he arrived in this world. Whether it was the influence of the Devil Fruit of the Nine Laps of the Sun technique, he had now become stronger than an ordinary human.

"Little brother, do you sell your fish? How about I buy them all and pay 10,000 Berry each?"

Robert frowned and turned away only for the frown to deepen on his face as he looked at the person who had been talking animatedly to him.

It was a middle-aged man with a round head, a beer belly, and big round eyes that sparkled brightly as he licked his lips excitedly while looking at the gem fish on his back.

"10,000 Berry, huh..." Robert let out a sarcastic smile with a cold chuckle. He said, "Each one costs at least 100,000 Berry, and here you are offering me 10,000, aren't you very generous?"

"Well, but seriously, I can see that these fish of yours are of good quality, that's why I, Yudi, am willing to pay 1 million Berry for all of them, so, very generous, yes!?"

What kind of medicine did he take to not understand the sarcasm in his question and still dare to make a proposal like this?

Even if he were to sell it at the cheapest price, it would fetch over two million.

"Leave it to dream while you're sleeping, I'm not selling you a single fish." Robert snorted coldly.

"Heh, I knew it would be like this, it's a shame, it's just a shame…" As he shook his fathead, shaking off all his fat, he didn't look regretful at all but was smiling exaggeratedly.

Robert was no fool and his senses were no longer normal, he felt several strange gazes in his direction and saw that in the close distance, a group of men were looking at him and with the sign of the greedy man in front of him, they began to run.

'Sigh, I was so lucky today, why was I so unlucky to come across such an idiot as soon as I arrived on this island?' Robert sighed in his heart as he took the weight off the fish by using the power of the devil fruit.
