The Black Prince of Pirates

“The hot dogs here taste great.”

"Traveling all this way just to eat...hot dogs?"

"Is there any problem? It really tastes great! I've been to so many places, but I still think the hot dogs here taste the best. If you don't believe it, please give it a try. I guarantee you'll want to try it again after you eat it once." Sabo handed over the hot dog that had crashed into the carton.

Korra rolled her eyes.

Her white fingers were twisting around a strand of hair unconsciously. She had no appetite for food now.

"You can enjoy it yourself! But if it delays the mission, what will you do? Even if Mr. Long doesn't care, I can't help you if Uncle Kil is angry."

"Don't worry, I know the mission well."

Sabo confidently pledged his vote, then lowered his head and took a bite of the hot hot dog sandwiched between two pieces of long bread and smeared with ketchup, his bulging cheeks kept rising and falling... The two members of the Revolutionary Army Located in the Chambord Islands, standing under a huge mangrove, surrounded by light bubbles constantly squeezed out of the grass, floating towards the huge canopy of the mangrove that blocks the light of the sun and moon.

The work in Beihai came to an end.

They returned to the Grand Line.

The Revolutionary Army is a large global organization. Their footprints are all over the world and the Grand Route. That is to say, there are no eyes and ears of the Revolutionary Army in places such as Sky Island and Lafdru. Even the Holy Land also has the eyes of the Revolutionary Army buried in it. Although it can Communicate remotely through devices such as telephone bugs.

But as the supreme leader of the revolutionary army, Long stayed in Beihai for a long time. After all, it was very inconvenient.

So after finishing the work in the North Sea, we immediately returned to the Grand Route without stopping... and once we returned, we didn't go anywhere else. We first came to the Chambord Islands, which connects the first half of the Great Route. and the second half of the land.

Speaking of,

In the mouths of many pirates, this island is also known as the "Island of Failure" and "The Island of Starting Again".

This is one of the most well-informed places on the Great Line. The Revolutionary Army must have planted chess pieces here. However, it is a pity that because of the Fire Fist incident, in order to search for the Pluto who suddenly appeared, the Navy searched the island. Within a few days, the chess pieces planted by the revolutionary army were unfortunately knocked down by the storm.

Later, new chess pieces were arranged, but after all, they had not developed for long and had not yet reached the level of their unlucky predecessor.

But fortunately, there are still many capable people in the Chambord Islands who have survived the storms and waves. Long came to the Chambord Islands just to meet that person. Sabo and Kella went to fight in the front line. After all, Long's identity special.

The reason why Long did this was not because he was afraid of being ambushed. Even if the three generals of the navy came together, no one could stop him from leaving. The reason for doing this was largely to consider other people and for the sake of the revolution. Consider the military's reputation.

If he provokes enemies such as admirals and cp0s because of him, he is sure to run away at any time, but this will undoubtedly leave trouble to his partners who cooperate with the revolutionary army. If this happens, The reputation of the Revolutionary Army will definitely be ruined.

only--

Sabo did not go directly to the mission.

Instead, he took a detour to a commercial street and found a mobile hot dog vendor in the most remote part of the commercial street.

"Kerra, don't worry, it's already this time. No matter how anxious you are, you won't be in such a hurry. And don't forget the nature of our mission. We are here to explore the road. If we take a few more detours, we can just see what's going on. No one is following us."

As he spoke, Sabo turned his head in all directions.

At the end of the street, there are very few pedestrians. Except for a mobile food truck selling hot dogs not far away, there are no other vendors nearby. The pedestrians coming and going are also in a hurry. It is also one of the exits of the commercial street, and it is connected to It is not a lively harbor, nor is it a road leading to other peninsulas. From here you can only go to the depths of the peninsula.

That is, a deserted wilderness.

The Shampoo Islands are not big, but they are not small either, because this is a floating island based on the roots of mangroves. There is no way to engage in planting on the island, and there is no way to have mineral deposits or anything like that. All residents on the island rely on commerce for their livelihood.

Therefore, the settlements are basically on the seaside, and very few ordinary people live in the depths of the island. In other words, the guys who go to the depths of the peninsula to hang out are basically not good people, and they will not escape back in the New World. Pirates are criminals who have committed crimes, as well as strongholds established by gangsters and slave traders...

Kerr snorted, too lazy to argue with Sabo.

She opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked up and down at the stall owner who was sitting lazily behind the dining car as if he was not awake.

"That stall owner doesn't look like an ordinary person." She suddenly lowered her voice and said.

"Don't think too much. The stall owner is just an information dealer. He is not a navy, nor does he work for pirates. As long as he is willing to give money, he will sell information to anyone, but... he doesn't have any unique information. , basically selling various gossips about the island.”

Sabo explained to Kella while eating hot dog buns.

This was not his first visit to the Chambord Islands.

Even though he only joined the Revolutionary Army one year earlier than Kerla, as Long's personal guidance and guidance, although he did not have the name of master and apprentice, he was actually the 'successor' of master and apprentice. Long has been using various means to achieve success. Training Saab, in terms of actual work experience, he can throw out Kerla eight streets.

Of course, this is also due to the different training routes between the two.

Sabo was trained by Ryu as his successor, while Kerra was trained to become an intelligence officer because she was a girl.

"You can go and try to buy information."

Sabo encouraged Kerra to investigate for herself.

Kella actually went over and bought a thick brochure. As expected, the stall owner didn't say a word nonsense. He paid the money and delivered the goods. He got this so-called 'information' for [-] beli. Erla flipped through it and looked at it, with an extremely strange expression on her face.

This thing...

What the heck, this thing is simply a travel guide, a map of the Shampoo Islands split into many pages, with a lot of color page photos, and some text introductions about the famous attractions in the Shampoo Islands. , with some brief descriptions of local evil forces at the end, which is still out of date...

"How's it going? Is it interesting?"

Even eating didn't stop Sabo from showing a cheerful smile.

"What kind of information dealer is this?! How is this different from the travel guides sold at the pier? It's just a lie..."

Kerla complained loudly, regardless of whether anyone would hear her, or in other words, the stall owner who heard Kerla's complaint immediately shrank his neck.

"It's not really a lie."

Sabo interrupted Kerra's complaint, "At least compared to the shoddy goods on the dock, the quality of this travel guide is pretty good. At five hundred berries, the price is quite reasonable."

After hearing this, Kerra swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

Five hundred berries, buy a hardcover travel guide... It's true that I can't say it's a scammer, but... I still feel like I've been cheated...

"Saab, you haven't been fooled before...well, you've bought this thing too, right?"

"I bought it."

Sabo admitted.

However, Sabo admitted so quickly that Kerra became even more depressed. She glared fiercely at Sabo who was still eating hot dog buns, making the latter confused for a while. Fortunately, Sabo was not a stubborn character. , I quickly forgot about such little things that I couldn’t understand.

Continue to focus on eating.

After eating eight hot dog buns in one go, he let out a sigh of satisfaction, paid the stall owner, and left the commercial street with Kerla, walking along the hardcover travel guide that Kerla bought. Show the path and take a shortcut to your destination.

Peninsula 13.

This island is their destination.

"Xia Qi's rip-off bar...is this right here?"

"That's right. There's not another rip-off shop nearby, right? Go in and ask first!"

After walking up a short flight of steps, the two of them pushed the door and walked into this bar with few customers... well, there was no customer before they came in. They stood at the door and looked around, as long as they could see everything. Everywhere I went, there was no one sitting down.

Except for the woman sitting behind the bar, holding a lady's cigarette and reading a newspaper, there seemed to be no other person in the bar.

"Are you two guests? What do you want?" The woman holding a cigarette stood up. She greeted Sabo and Kerla who were standing at the door. Her skin was well maintained, so good that no one could see it. Judging from her age, if it weren't for the unique temperament accumulated over the years, she could be regarded as a young girl in her teens or twenties.

"Um, is this Miss Xia Qi?"

Sabo looked at the woman and compared it with the photos he had seen in his mind. It was absolutely correct and she should be the target person.

"Ah! What do you want from me? Little brother."

Xia Qi looked at Sabo and Kella curiously.

"Mr. Long asked us to come." Sabo said implicitly, and then said the name of the supreme leader of the revolutionary army. This is not because he does not have a sense of vigilance, but because there is a person with 'dragon' in his name on this sea. There are so many people, and there is now a fish-man named Aaron in the East China Sea!

As long as the full name is not spoken, or there is no relevant awareness, no one will immediately associate this name with the world's most dangerous criminal.

Therefore, even when Sabo and Kerla were on the road, they never shied away from calling him Mr. Long, even if there were people around them, they would say it openly.

"Mr. Long..."

The leisurely smile on Xia Qi's face disappeared. She was a relevant person and knew many secrets. When she heard this title, she immediately woke up. The handsome young man and young lady in front of her were not here to drink. of guests.

"It turns out to be Mr. Long's envoy. Brother, madam, why don't you sit down and have a chat?"

"That's disturbing."

Sabo and Kella sat down in front of the bar.

Xia Qi took out two glasses from under the bar, and the ice cubes clinked into the glasses. Her right hand passed over the row of wine bottles, "What do you want to drink?"

"There's no need to drink. We're here to talk to you..."

"I know what Mr. Long means. I agree to his request. There is no need for you to run away, little brother. Mr. Long will come when the time comes. Now you can just rest well here with me." Xia Qi picked up the copy. He picked up a bottle of wine and asked, "Ruby Porter, can you drink it?"

Facing Xia Qi's strength, Sabo blinked helplessly.

Remembering that before he left, Mr. Long told him not to act without authorization and just follow the instructions of Miss Xia Qi... He suddenly lost the confidence to refuse, so he had no choice but to respond to Xia Qi's inquiry. He nodded and moved his palm away from the cup.

Sabo had no problem with that.

Kerra certainly wouldn't have any objections. Sabo is the official envoy for this trip. Her mission is to help Sabo cover up. She doesn't even know the details of the mission, otherwise she wouldn't have been turned around by Sabo. Eating hot dogs.

"Is it true that the revolutionary army came to the Shampoo Islands because of the World Conference that will be held the day after tomorrow?"

Xia Qi asked casually as she watched the two of them drink sips of wine.

"Miss Xia Qi!!"

Sabo's mouth was very sweet. Even though he knew from Mr. Long that 'Miss Xia Qi' was probably older than Mr. Long, as a well-educated gentleman, he still insisted on calling Miss Xia Qi. He was quite fond of it. His eyes widened in surprise, even though he knew there were no other customers in the bar, he still looked around subconsciously.

Saying 'Mr. Long' doesn't matter even if a navy officer is sitting next to you, but if a small sailor hears the word 'revolutionary army', there will be swords and guns pointed at him the next moment.

"Please don't say this name, if you give it to someone..."

"I'm safe here, little brother, relax. Didn't Mr. Long tell you my identity?" Xia Qi chuckled to comfort the cat-like Sabo.

"No, Mr. Long just asked me to bring you a message, saying that he hopes to use your power to monitor the situation of the World Conference." Sabo shook his head.

"I'm a tipster."

Xia Qi held a cigarette in her mouth with a rather proud smile on her face, "As an information dealer, if I can't keep the secrets of the guests, I won't have to continue in this industry. I said in this bar Everything is fine, the Revolutionary Army, the Pirate Emperor, the Celestial Dragons... there is nothing to be tabooed or worried about, and as long as you pay the minimum price, I can sell you all the information I have here."

"Miss Xia Qi, do you sell any information here?" Kerla asked curiously.

"It's certainly impossible to say that everything is for sale. I have no information about your revolutionary army. However, in the Chambord Islands, there should be no one who can provide more accurate, detailed and faster information than mine. ······Miss, I wonder what information you want to buy?" Xia Qi asked with a smile.

"Hmm... let me think about it!"

Kella blinked, held the wine glass and thought for a moment, then asked aloud: "Well, do you have detailed information about the conflict between the beasts and the black prince? And how much does this information cost? If it is too expensive, Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
