You have to understand what items those rich retards want. Devil Fruit can sell for a hundred million berries due to their rarity and a chance for an unknown power. Weapons for private armies and wars. Slave trade is another example, especially selling merfolk, fishmen, and giants for eye candy, work force, or even just for fun. Exotic animals are a rarity any rich cat wants, like Milennial Dragons for the dragonite, Treasure Island hybrid creatures, or even Chopper. Also rare minerals like Amber Lead and Seaprism Stone would make the wearer or the place look lovely. There is always a market for anything for people who want something, even no matter the price.
