Chapter 894 Gentleman
...
Golden city
Bar street
The setting sun cast a warm orange glow. The neon signs on the roadside had not yet lit up. Shop assistants were standing on tiptoe to wipe the glass windows in front of their respective shops, preparing for business. The wet rags left water stains on the glass, which were reflected in the same color by the red glow in the sky.
"Da da da!"
A swordsman with three swords on his waist stopped in front of an inconspicuous tavern on the corner of the street.
"Xia Qi's rip-off bar"
He looked at the sign and the house number, then looked at the small plaque "Closed" hanging on the door. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to gently push the door open and walked in.
“Ding ding dong~!”
"sorry for disturbance!"
When they heard the bell behind the door ring, the man and woman sitting alone at the bar paused.
"It's you, swordsman brother."
The still charming proprietress supported her chin with one hand and held a cigarette with the other, slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke from her mouth, and sighed.
"Has it been two years? Time flies."
"Oh? Is the date already here? I totally forgot."
Rayleigh put down the wine glass in his hand and said without turning his head.
"clatter!"
Xia Qi took out a large glass of bubbling beer and placed it on the table, greeting them with a smile.
"Would you like a drink, swordsman brother?"
Zoro walked straight forward, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Rayleigh. He naturally would not refuse the wine.
"Gudong, gudong!"
Zoro drank the wine in one breath, put down the glass, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked with a smug smile.
"What? There's really nothing we can do about them! Am I the first one to arrive?"
"Haha, that's not the case."
Xia Qi took another puff of her cigarette and said with a smile.
"I remember that the shipwright on your ship has been in Golden City the entire time. It seems he has never left."
"Ok?"
"Kaku was captured again? That guy's luck is really bad."
Zoro frowned.
"Is the opponent the Golden City? It seems our second voyage is destined to be troubled!"
Zoro thought to himself that it seemed that he would need to rescue a group of teammates before officially setting sail, but it was not a big problem, it was a good opportunity to test everyone's training results.
Now that he has returned after two years of training, Zoro feels that he is more than a hundred times stronger than he was two years ago, so he is full of confidence in his own strength and the strength of his companions.
"Hahaha!"
While the two were chatting and not paying attention, Rayleigh quickly picked up the whiskey on the table and secretly refilled himself with another glass. After being discovered, he pretended to be calm, put down the bottle and explained.
"Kaku wasn't captured, but the conditions in Golden City are very suitable for his training. So, in order to fulfill the agreement between you, he chose to stay here and train for two years."
"I see."
"Actually, the Golden City is not your enemy. On the contrary, it has done you, the Straw Hat Pirates, a favor."
Rayleigh continued in a joking tone, shaking the ice in his empty glass.
"So! Once everyone's gathered, just set sail and don't cause any more trouble here. After all, strictly speaking, I'm also a security officer of Golden City. Just consider this as giving me, an old man, some face. I don't want to lose this job! Hahaha!"
"I also hope to have a smooth sailing."
Zoro nodded, then said helplessly.
"You should tell this to our captain."
"Ahahaha, you're right, Luffy is indeed a worry."
Speaking of his favorite student whom he personally taught, Rayleigh looked at the man with glasses whose reflection was reflected in the glass with a kind face, and fell into a brief recollection.
"Hehe, it's been half a year since we last met. I wonder how Luffy is doing now, and whether his strength has improved..."
Having said that, Rayleigh couldn't help but frown and showed a very conflicted expression.
He hoped that Luffy's strength could improve, but he was also worried that if Luffy really made rapid progress in the past six months, wouldn't he be known as a mediocre teacher?

Golden city
Gold Coast Port
A harbor dedicated to sightseeing yachts, cruise ships and other manned ships in addition to cargo ships.
A pink boat with girlish decoration stands out among a bunch of serious boats.
At the harbor, the male tourists and those on the yacht nearby stopped and watched in tacit understanding, looking forward to seeing if a cute and tender little princess would come down.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally jumped onto the shore from the bow of the boat.
"Tsk! Damn it! You're wasting my time!"
Seeing that the person getting off the small pink boat was a man in a black suit with a cigarette in his mouth, everyone turned around and dispersed with disgusted expressions.
"It's so nostalgic! I finally came back alive from "hell"!"
"Whoo~"
Sanji took a puff of his cigarette with great enjoyment.
“Wow! That’s it!!”
In the previous second, he was still sighing with melancholy, and in the next second, Sanji's eyes were fixed on the beautiful women in cool clothes on the beach, and he was instantly moved to tears.
"Woman! It's a woman! The woman I've always dreamed of! I finally see the real thing! It's so wonderful! Long live the Golden City! Woohoo!"
Sanji was about to rush forward crying, but was held down by a pair of strong, hairy hands.
"Hey~~ Sanji-chan! We haven't even said goodbye properly yet! Don't leave so soon!"
Sanji couldn't help but shudder when he heard the sweet voice coming from behind him.
"I didn't expect that we would be separated so soon. It really makes my family heartbroken!"
"That's right, but since we can't help but separate, let's have a passionate kiss goodbye!"
The other "monsters" also said with a smile.
"Hey! Stop joking around! Who wants to say goodbye to you? Go back now and don't show up in front of me again, you perverts!"
Sanji couldn't help but curse.
"Eh~ What a heartless man! He used to call me Sweetie, but now as soon as we left Peach Color Island he calls me a pervert."
Blonde Dibani said sadly.
"If you can't kiss goodbye, you should at least give me a hug, right? Sanji-chan!"
"It is! It is!"
The transsexuals ogled Sanji enthusiastically.
"Hey! Stop kidding! My training is over!"
Sanji was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly.
"The training is over, but our friendship will last forever, Sanji-chan!"
The transsexuals kept pressing forward, getting closer and closer, and finally they carried Sanji and walked forward together. Seeing this, the tourists around hurriedly avoided him.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let me go! Damn it!"
Sanji, who was surrounded by people, struggled and shouted.
"Don't be so anxious to send us away! We've come all this way to Golden City. It's the legendary dream city and shopping paradise. Of course, you sisters want to have some fun!"
Dibani said in a delicate voice.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! And we have to go see the live version of that soul singer's concert too!"
"That's right! All of us citizens of Kamabaka Kingdom are true fans of Princess Uta!"
"Princess Uta is so adorable!"
"Lord Momonosuke didn't allocate any extra funds for this trip, so you'll have to bear the travel expenses, Sanji-chan."
"Hey! Wait! What does this have to do with me? If you want to go shopping or see a concert, you can go by yourselves!"
Sanji refused.
"How can you say such cruel words, Sanji-chan? Didn't we come out this time to reunite you with your friends?"
Dibani said this and began to wipe away her tears with a pink handkerchief.
"Um...you...I...I'm sorry, but the thing is, I don't have Bailey on me!"
"Ah, sisters, why don't we just forget it? We've already sent the people safely. Staying here will only cause trouble for Sanji-chan. I think we should go back, even though we might regret it for the rest of our lives..."
"Ahhh! I know, I know! I'll find a way! There's really nothing I can do about you!"
Although the shemale is not a woman, she is at least a human being. Sanji couldn't bear to watch it anymore and had to agree like a gentleman.
"Hehehe, great, that's settled then! Sisters, let's go!"
Sanji, who had lost all hope in life, was taken away by Dibani under his armpit.
