Chapter 164 Goodbye Xia Qi

After leaving the original place, Ling Tian and Roger kept going and soon arrived at Island No. 13. Under the sunshine, this island exuded a unique mysterious atmosphere.

"Xia Qi's Rip-off?" Looking at the slightly old but unique pub in front of him, the words "Xia Qi's Rip-off Bar" on the sign were particularly eye-catching. A trace of curiosity flashed in Roger's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Does Rayleigh live here?"

"Ah, Rayleigh has been here since the Roger Pirate Group disbanded." Ling Tian looked at the half-open door of the tavern, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and couldn't help but speak.

The sunlight shines on his face, outlining his resolute features.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and walked towards the tavern with firm steps.

As the wooden door was gently pushed open with a creaky sound, Roger and Ling Tian walked into Xia Qi's tavern.

After entering the tavern, Ling Tian and Roger immediately looked around and saw that there were not many people inside.

This result is normal. After all, the location of this tavern is relatively hidden, and the "extortion" consumption method set by Xia Qi makes ordinary people stay away and will not come here to drink easily, except for those who are familiar with Xia Qi and Rayleigh.

"Hey, how come you have time to come to my place?" Just as the two of them stepped into the tavern, Xia Qi heard someone coming in, stopped wiping the wine glass in her hand, looked up at the door, and said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome us?" Hearing Xia Qi's words, Ling Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked into the tavern with a casual pace.

"That's not the case. It's just that how do you have time to come to me after the incident on Judicial Island?" Xia Qi shook her head slightly, denying Ling Tian's statement.

She placed the wine glass in her hand on the bar, clasped her arms across her chest, and her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and inquiry.

The Straw Hat Pirates, to which Ling Tian belongs, caused a big disturbance on the Judicial Island not long ago, and this incident caused an uproar in the pirate world.

When Xia Qi heard the news, she was shocked. After all, she didn't expect Ling Tian to cause trouble on Judicial Island again.

Xia Qi knew that the man in white who caused trouble on the Judicial Island more than ten years ago was Ling Tian, ​​but she did not expect that many years later, Ling Tian would again have a dispute with the Judicial Island in this way.

"We don't want to do that either. It's those guys who took our boat away." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Ling Tian shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "To be honest, if it weren't for the CP9 guys who took away the Merry, we really didn't want to go to Judicial Island to cause trouble. The Merry is not just a ship to us, but also our partner and home. They took away the Merry, which is touching our bottom line, and we will never tolerate it."

"Really?" Hearing Ling Tian's words, Xia Qi nodded thoughtfully.

She could understand how Ling Tian and the others felt. For pirates, the ship was their life support on the sea. Losing the ship was like losing their soul.

"Then, introduce this person to me." After chatting with Ling Tian, ​​Xia Qi turned her attention to Roger who came in with Ling Tian.

As soon as Roger came in, Xia Qi noticed this strange and mysterious person, but she did not ask about Roger's identity at the first time. She just observed the interaction between the two.

"Long time no see, Xia Qi." Hearing Xia Qi directing the topic to himself, Roger smiled slightly, gently took off the mask on his face, and spoke.

His eyes were filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation, and a hint of nostalgia. In fact, when Roger saw the name of this pub, he already had a guess in his mind that this was the pub opened by Xia Qi.

"Roger?" After seeing Roger's face, Xia Qi stopped drinking the wine in her hand. Her eyes widened instantly, and her face was full of disbelief. The wine glass in her hand almost slipped out of shock. She seemed to be frozen in place, motionless.

She really couldn't believe her eyes. Roger, the legendary figure who once dominated the sea and opened the Age of Discovery, appeared in front of her again.

Although Ling Tian had told her and Rayleigh before that he had a way to resurrect Roger, she and Rayleigh just listened and did not take it to heart.

After all, resurrecting a dead person sounds too incredible to be believed.

"Are you really Roger?" Xia Qi widened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her, her eyes full of uncertainty and doubt.

At this moment, her heart was filled with disbelief and confusion, as if she was in an illusory dream.

"Ah, it's me," Roger said gently with a smile on his face and a familiar light in his eyes.

His voice was the same as always, with a unique calmness and confidence.

After hearing Roger's words, Xia Qi was still a little dazed, but after repeatedly observing Roger's expression and appearance, she finally confirmed that she was not dreaming.

"I never thought that you could actually resurrect others." Xia Qi's gaze stayed on Roger for a moment, then turned to Ling Tian, ​​and couldn't help but speak.

There was still a hint of astonishment in her eyes that had not yet completely dissipated.

"From what you said, it seems you don't believe me either." Hearing Xia Qi's words, Ling Tian crossed his arms, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but complain.

His originally confident plan seemed a little lost amid other people's doubts. He really didn't expect that even Xia Qi, who he knew well, was skeptical about his ability to revive Roger.

"After all, this kind of thing is really hard to believe." Seeing Ling Tian's emotions, Xia Qi smiled gently, and explained with a hint of apology in her laughter.

Indeed, for most people, resurrecting a deceased person is something beyond common sense and almost impossible to achieve.

"Well, let's talk about this later." Ling Tian shrugged lightly after hearing Xia Qi's words. He didn't argue too much and just said lightly: "By the way, isn't Rayleigh here?"

Ling Tian glanced around the tavern, and when he didn't see Rayleigh, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Seeing that Lei Li still didn't show up after chatting with Xia Qi for such a long time, Ling Tian couldn't help but become curious. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked, "I thought he would be here. I haven't seen him for such a long time. Did he go out for something?"

"That guy went out drinking again." Hearing Ling Tian's words, Xia Qi put her hands on her hips, a helpless look on her face, and shook her head slightly and spoke.

Her tone showed that she was used to Rayleigh's behavior, but also a hint of anger.
