Pirate: I'm making a clone behind the scenes

Chambord Archipelago, Island 13.

Shaki's Ripped Off Tavern.

clang lang lang~~

The sound of a door opening and a bell suddenly sounded.

An old man with white curly hair, a white beard on his chin, and glasses walked into the tavern.

"It seems like your harvest is good today?"

A tall, thin woman with short black hair didn't even raise her head. She deftly picked up a bottle of good quality barley wine from the wine cabinet and put it on the counter. Then she held a lady's cigarette in her mouth and spoke in a teasing tone. the visitor asked.

"Hahahahaha, it's okay, it's okay!"

The white-haired old man touched the back of his head, smiled heartily, and started drinking without using a cup.

This person is none other than Rayleigh, the Pluto who taught Gildas!

And this woman is the former captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates - Xia Qi!

She is a powerful woman who is extremely powerful. It is said that she once successfully escaped when faced with the pursuit of the current naval hero Garp. In the end, she retreated to the Chambord Islands for unknown reasons and opened such a tavern to engage in intelligence business.

"What happened recently?"

Rayleigh put the bottle down, wiped the corner of his mouth casually, and asked Xia Qi casually.

Xia Qi didn't speak, she just raised her right hand and rubbed her thumb and index finger gently in front of Lei Li. It was obvious that she meant to refuse the white female vote.

"Oh, we are all old acquaintances, why do you still have the heart to exploit me, a lonely old man!"

Seeing the unmoved look of the woman in front of him, Lei Li complained with a grimace, and then with some heartache, he took out a Bailey worth one hundred thousand dollars from his arms and reluctantly handed it to Xia Qi.

No way, today is different from the past.

As the right hand of the Pirate King, he didn't care about money at all. If he wanted Bailey, he would grab it directly. If he wanted wine, he would grab it directly. The days of wandering on the sea can be said to be very cool.

To describe it in one sentence: If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow!

And now Raleigh is just a shipwright who lives in seclusion in the Chambord Islands and does coating work. Occasionally, when he is short of money, he goes to the auction to sell himself, and then hacks the buyer Bailey.

If Xia Qi hadn't been willing to let Rayleigh drink on credit every time, Rayleigh would have had to go back to the old road and steal Bailey from passing pirates.

Seeing that Lei Li was hesitant, Xia Qi grabbed Bailey directly from Lei Li's hands without looking at the amount, and then stuffed it into the cabinet.

In fact, Xia Qi didn't really want Rayleigh to pay enough for the information. Not to mention that Xia Qi's information prices were notoriously high, but Bailey had spent all these years drinking with him. I don’t know the geometry.

The reason Xia Qi did this was simply because she liked to tease Lei Li, and Lei Li naturally knew it well and was happy to cooperate every time. It felt like an old married couple who knew each other.

"There hasn't been much news about that kid recently, but even if something happened, it was definitely that kid who killed someone else." Xia Qi took a puff of her cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.

The boy she was talking about was none other than Gildarts, who was learning domineering from Rayleigh in the Chambord Islands!

At that time, Xia Qi also saw Gildarts' terrifying learning ability and crushing ability similar to Devil Fruit.

It can be said that her knowledge of Gildarts' strength at that time was no weaker than any of the great pirates in the New World.

After the news of Gildarts' battle with Admiral Kizaru came out, Xia Qi was even dumbfounded on the spot.

You must know that the naval admiral is a top-notch powerhouse that even she cannot deal with. Even the old and frail Rayleigh may not be able to defeat an admiral in his prime. Even after being dragged into a protracted war, There is a risk of death in battle.

One can imagine the shock in Xia Qi and Lei Li's hearts when the news came.

After that, the news that Gildarts was elected as the king of the Shichibukai made Rayleigh and Xia Qi even more incredible.

You must know that Gildas almost destroyed an island in front of the admiral. This kind of thing is no less humiliating than slapping someone else's child in front of their parents.

As a result, the world government, perhaps out of fear or for other purposes, dared to recruit Gildarts, which is simply a fantasy.

But after that, little news came from Kildas.

The most recent incident was when the Navy faced off against the Whitebeard Pirates, but that was mainly related to the Navy's two new alternate admirals, and had little to do with Gildarts.

Even so, Reilly still liked to ask him for news whenever there was nothing wrong.

After all, when Gildarts was still young, he saw at a glance that Gildarts was a piece of rough jade and carefully carved it. Now that Gildarts is shining brightly all over the world, he must be proud of it.

"Really..." Hearing this, Rayleigh took another big sip, and then sighed with a smile on his face: "You said that boy was still a little guy who couldn't even use his domineering power. Why did he suddenly... In the blink of an eye, he has become a ruthless person that even I can’t beat my opponent!”

"Come on, look at your face, you are obviously proud, but you still pretend to sigh."

Looking at Lei Li who was lamenting that things are human beings but actually showing off his teaching ability, Xia Qi blew the smoke ring into his face angrily and complained.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Lei Li was not annoyed. He met Xia Qi's speechless eyes, patted the smoke away, and burst into laughter.

"By the way, let me tell you..."

Boom! ! !

Just when Lei Li wanted to continue talking to Xia Qi, there was a sudden shaking sound.

Even the ground beneath their feet began to shake slightly!

This time, Lei Li and Xia Qi frowned and stood up.

You must know that although the Shampoo Islands where they are located is called an island, it is actually an island formed by the thick and unusually thick root system of the world's largest Algino mangrove tree spread all over the sea.

Even if a top player in the sea like Rayleigh fights here, he can only damage its root system, rather than causing the island to tremble like an earthquake.

If there is anyone who Rayleigh knows has such strength, it is only the late captain of the Whitebeard Pirates - Edward Newgate himself!

However, Whitebeard had already died in battle due to the navy's plan. Who is causing such a large-scale tremor here now?

Lei Li, who was full of doubts and surprises, didn't care to continue chatting with Xia Qi. After drinking the remaining barley wine in one gulp, he hurriedly said something and then rushed in the direction of the sound.

"A troubled autumn!"

After the initial shock, Xia Qi relit a cigarette, sat back on the chair, and sighed.

Unlike Rayleigh who still has the strength to rival an admiral in a short period of time after getting old, she is not young and has not fought for too long, so her strength may not be as good as the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

If there really was some top powerhouse fighting, she was just asking for trouble in the past, so she might as well wait here for Rayleigh to send the news back.
