#45 - Chapter 45 Xia Qi's Extortion Pub

"Yo~ Is our Colonel reluctant to see the beauty leave?" Doflamingo's voice came from the bushes behind.

Jin An rubbed his buzz cut. "Don't talk nonsense, kid."

The only reason he stood here was because, under the observation of Kenbunshoku Haki, that Celestial Dragon had finally started to act.

He also knew very well that Serena was only grateful to him, and he was just helping a girl with mobility issues, nothing big.

"I think you're just changing the subject." Doflamingo teased. He was in a very good mood now and had rediscovered the meaning of continuing to fight.

"Adults' affairs are not for children to participate in." Jin An looked behind him. "Dragon, you and Doflamingo go for a walk around the island. There are still many interesting things to see on this island."

He took Doflamingo's hand and handed him to Dragon. "This guy has a strong ability to cause trouble, so you have to keep an eye on him."

Doflamingo struggled in dissatisfaction. It was one thing to treat him like a child, but what did he mean by looking down on him so much? He had done a lot of big things in the auction house.

"I'm telling you, treating me like a child will cost you dearly!"

Of course, Jin An knew that at the age of 10, he could kill his own father to exchange for the status of a Celestial Dragon. Who would dare to underestimate him?

"Then I'll give you some things to do later."

Dragon asked suspiciously, "Aren't you coming with us?"

"I have an old friend on this island. Now that I'm here, I definitely have to meet him. It won't take long, I'll be right back."

"Also, I have some things to tell you." Jin An continued.

"Among the slaves released from the auction house just now, there are some pirates. You've all seen them when you were locked in the prison."

"Those people are all money. You catch those people and send them to the naval base here to exchange for some money, so they don't run out and cause trouble again." Even mosquitoes are meat, making money is not shameful.

Moreover, Jin An didn't believe that these pirates would repent after being sold by human traffickers only once.

Maybe they would become even worse after being stimulated by this incident.

Many people's mentality is that since they have been rained on, they will tear down other people's houses.

"Remember to use the identity of a bounty hunter!"

If they directly used their navy identity, they wouldn't be able to explain their purpose for coming here, and they might not even get a bounty, which would be a huge loss.

Jin An waved his hand and turned to walk into the island, leaving only a back view to the two.

"Could it be that he has a lover on this island? Running so fast!"

Dragon just twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously not interested in Doflamingo's joke.

"......"

"Hurry, we must return immediately!" Saint Rosward felt unsafe as long as he stayed here, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

This place had brought him unforgettable experiences and had worn away his pride as a Celestial Dragon, leaving only a bellyful of anger.

As his words fell, a guard lay on the ground waiting for the Celestial Dragon to ride on him. There was no way, the previous slaves had been killed, and this kind of work could only fall on them, the guards.

"Please, sir, sit on my back."

He wanted to reduce the Celestial Dragon's hostility towards him through this method, so that he wouldn't be punished too badly when the time came.

"Do you need to notify the Navy Headquarters?"

"Do you think I'm not ashamed enough? What's the use of telling those useless navies now? That person doesn't know where he's gone."

As for venting his anger on the people on this island? He did have this idea, but he would have to wait until he returned to Mariejois to discuss it in the long term. After all, this island could still bring some fun to the Celestial Dragons, and directly destroying it would not be in their interests.

Saint Rosward sat directly on that person's back, covered his face with his sleeves, and proceeded towards the port under the escort of many guards.

In the eyes covered by the sleeves was bottomless darkness. He would not let go of the man named Jack, nor that mermaid. He would let her know what fear is.

"Flying Pirates, Golden Lion, Jack!" Saint Rosward murmured, "You guys remember, I will get my revenge."

He looked indifferently at the guards around him. None of those who saw him in this miserable state would want to live. Enjoy these last moments...

Finally, when he reached the end of the road, he looked back at the auction house that had humiliated him. "Find CP2 for me, alive or dead."

Jin An, hiding behind a civilian house, took in all of Saint Rosward's expressions. It could only be said that his nature was hard to change. Even after being taught a lesson like this, he was still incorrigible.

Fortunately, he wasn't crazy enough to vent his anger on the people of this island, otherwise Jin An would have to find a way to avoid some risks.

As for now, Jin An only needed to wait for him to leave this island...

The Navy serves the World Government, and he is now a heinous pirate.

And now he was going to see an acquaintance, wondering if there would be any surprises.

Twenty minutes later, Jin An arrived at his destination, leisurely strolling through the Yarukiman mangrove.

A huge and conspicuous number was marked on the distant mangrove—13.

Looking at the bubbles flying around, Jin An was amazed. Only in the Sabaody Archipelago could you see this kind of scenery.

Numbers 1 to 29 all belong to illegal areas. This is a paradise for criminals, and all kinds of illegal transactions can be carried out here.

Looking into the distance, what came into view was a house with a round roof covered with moss. Above the door, a wooden plaque was engraved with the shop name—Shakuyaku's Rip-off Bar.

"Knock knock knock..."

Jin An reached out and gently knocked on the door frame.

The wind chime at the door gently swayed, making a pleasant sound. Inside the bar sat a woman exhaling smoke.

"It's not business hours yet, did you come to the wrong place, or can you bring me some other business?"

The woman made a somewhat lazy voice. Judging by the voice alone, one would think she was a gentle and kind older sister, but few of the people who open shops here are simple.

"Are you the only one here?" Jin An found a seat and sat down on his own.

Shakuyaku's pupils shrank, took a puff of smoke, and said indifferently, "I have always run this place alone."

"If you're just here for fun, I can only regretfully tell you that you've come to the wrong place."

Jin An waved his hand. "Don't be so nervous, it's okay if that person isn't here, anyway, I'm here to find you this time."

Shakuyaku became wary. "What do you want from me? It can't be just to drink, right."

"I have some information to sell to you." Jin An drank some tea.

"Half an hour later, a ship carrying a whole ship of gold and silver jewelry will leave the waters west of the Sabaody Archipelago."

Shakuyaku flicked the ashes off her cigarette with her finger. "What does that have to do with me?"

"Pirates are short of money, and I'm no exception, but I can't handle the guards on that ship by myself..."

"So, you want to use me to reduce some of the pressure for you to rob the treasure?" Shakuyaku said disdainfully, "Why should I help you?"

"We can make money together." Jin An put his hand on Shakuyaku's shoulder.

Shakuyaku's eyes suddenly shrank. She was also someone who had been on Rocks' ship. Even she couldn't see the other party's movements clearly, which was enough to prove that the person in front of her was not someone she could provoke.

This person was not discussing with her, but a blatant threat.

"Isn't it easy for a master like you to rob a ship?" Shakuyaku looked at the hand on her shoulder. "Are the people on that ship very strong?"

"Or is their identity not simple?"

"You don't need to worry about that, you just need to send this message out to those greedy pirates."

The breeze rang the wind chimes, the man's words were still in her ears, but the person had disappeared.

Shakuyaku breathed a sigh of relief, her full chest rising and falling.

"You want to create a big incident, then I'll add fuel to the fire for you."

"Golden Lion seems to be nearby. With that guy's character of liking to join in the fun, he will definitely get involved."

"I hope you can make things bigger and burn yourself."
