The Lord of the Underworld of Pirates

"I don't know why the two 'big men' came here. Are they here specifically to drink?"

Brooke picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, put it to his nose and sniffed vigorously.

The aroma of tea is tangy!

"Well, good tea!"

He took a small peck and slowly put it down.

"Hey, oh, oh, of course I just happened to have tea by the way. I just heard that the landlady here is a beauty, so I came here specially!"

Xia Qi smiled sweetly after hearing this.

"Hehehe, Gu Guchan, you are too good at talking, but this trick is only effective for my sister-in-law Liang."

Brooke picked up the tea cup again and took a sip, and then told the purpose of coming here.

"Oh, Miss Xia Qi, I actually wanted to buy some information when I came here. By the way, I would like to ask if there is a good coating master."

Xia Qi was not surprised. Most of the people who came to her place came to buy information. She took a puff of cigarette and asked directly.

"What news do you want to buy!"

Brook thought for a while and felt that he still needed to understand the situation in the new world first.

"There is information about the new world!"

"It depends on what kind of bone sauce you want."

Brooke was a little surprised by the information that Xia Qi had. Does he even have information about the new world?

"I would like to know the current situation in the New World. If we go to the New World now, which route will be safer?"

After hearing this, Xia Qi reached out and took out a small notebook from under the counter and flipped through it a few times.

"The information is not too secretive. As for the price, I will charge you 100 million beli!"

Brooke nodded, reached out and took out two piles of banknotes from his sternum, and placed them on the table. These were brought from Aiweier's collection room before.

“Yo ho ho ho, reasonable price!”

Xia Qi reached out and picked up the banknote, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, as if to confirm the number of banknotes.

"Now New World is in a situation where one company is dominant and two companies are catching up."

Xia Qi put away the banknotes and informed Brooke of the information while flipping through her notes.

"Two years ago, the new world had a three-legged situation. 'Roger', 'Whitebeard' and 'Golden Lion' each occupied three areas of the new world."

"With Roger's death and the arrest of the Golden Lion, only the Whitebeard Pirates remain in the new world."

"The Whitebeard Pirates, who occupy one of the four routes, seem to have no interest in the throne, so his territory and power have not expanded much, but this cannot stop him from becoming the king of the new world now."

Xia Qi paused, picked up Brooke's teapot, poured herself a cup, and took a sip to moisten her throat.

"The so-called 'two families chasing' refers to Kaido who occupies Wano Country. In addition to being slightly less powerful, Kaido has begun to gradually devour some of the former Golden Lion and Roger's territories!"

"Kaido can be regarded as a stumbling block to one of the four routes!"

"The other one is Charlotte Lingling. At this time, Charlotte Lingling's power has expanded rapidly. Charlotte Lingling, who occupies most of the original Golden Lion's territory, is almost the same as Kaido in terms of strength and power. She can also It’s said to be occupying a route!”

Brooke was listening and drinking black tea, thinking silently. After hearing Xia Qi finish talking about the current situation in the new world, he asked again.

"Then which route should we take that won't conflict with these three pirate groups?"

Xia Qi suddenly laughed at this time, with a hint of ridicule in her laughter.

"Hehehe, if you want to become the Pirate King, will you still be afraid of your competitors?"

Without waiting for Brooke to respond, Xia Qi gave the answer directly.

"If all four routes are numbered, then Charlotte Lingling occupies the first half of Route 1."

"Kaido occupies the second half of Route 2!"

"And the Whitebeard Pirates occupy the second half of Route 4."

Ma Si'er, who was on the side, was already frightened when he heard Xia Qi's words. These names were something that even in the Grand Line did not dare to mention, as if the names had the power to kill people.

"So is it relatively safe if we take Route 3?"

Ma Si'er interjected. His survival philosophy is to keep a low profile, so naturally he doesn't want to face those real 'monsters'.

Xia Qi struck directly.

"When you set out from here, there is no truly safe place. The New World is ten times more dangerous than the Grand Line."

Marshall picked up the rum helplessly and took a big gulp.

"Yo ho ho ho, I understand."

Brooke is very grateful for the reminder given by Xia Qi. It is very useful for them who are about to go to the new world.

Brooke asked again.

"Are there any great newcomers on this island now? Or if we want to recruit some people, where should we go?"

Xia Qi put down the notes in her hand and said with a smile:

"This bit of information isn't worth much. Consider it a free gift from me!"

"The people who came to the Bubble Islands during this period, in addition to the two 'supernovas' of your Moria Pirates, there is also the 'Iron Arhat' Zhikong with a reward of 3000 million. This is a man who likes to act bravely. Monk, he is a guy who became famous in the world very early."

"There is also Marku Guy, the 'Thunder Lord' with a bounty of 4000 million. There is news that this is a swordsman who can use thunder and lightning."

"There is also a rising star, the 'Ox Demon' Niu Pang, who has a bounty of 600 million. According to intelligence, he must have eaten the animal type Niu Niu fruit. I heard that he is a strong player."

"You probably won't care too much about the rest. And if you want to recruit subordinates here, just use your banner. There should be a lot of people who want to board your big ship."

Brooke nodded, indicating that he had taken down the information that Xia Qi said. Brooke then drank the tea in the cup in his hand.

"Then one last question, Xia Qi, do you have any recommendations for a good coater?"

Although he came to Xia Qi's tavern mainly because he wanted to understand the situation in the new world first, but after hearing Xia Qi say 'my guy' just now, Brooke still wanted to meet the legendary one.

"Oh, as for the coater..."

Crack!

The door to the tavern was opened again.

"Hey, Xia Qi, it seems I have work to do!"

"Bones-chan, this is our Master Lei."

Sitting on the seat, facing Xia Qi, Brooke was filled with shock.

Although he didn't exude the domineering aura of seeing and hearing, with such a short distance, relying on his super hearing and perception, he didn't notice anyone coming.

As expected...

Brooke sat on the swivel chair and slowly turned around. Looking at the man at the door who was plainly dressed, 1.9 meters tall, with short blond hair, wearing a pair of glasses, and a straight scar on his right eye, he slowly spit out something that would make everyone in the world panic. name.

"Pluto, Sirbazz Raleigh!"
