The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

A woman's sixth sense will never be wrong, especially a smart woman. Not long after the Butterfly Pirates set out, a not-so-small accident occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago.

A pirate ship that had just been coated sank completely to the bottom of the sea. Perhaps the coating process was not good enough, and the bubbles burst, causing the entire pirate ship to be buried in the sea, without even a single survivor swimming ashore.

Some sea kings of unknown origin occasionally appear near the archipelago, making it very dangerous for the pirate groups to go out to sea. There have been many accidents resulting in shipwrecks and deaths.

The craftsmen and apprentices of the Sabaody Archipelago were requisitioned to go to the Navy Headquarters, causing the efficiency of the coating work to gradually decline. It used to take five days for a pirate ship to be coated and submerged, but now this working time has been extended to twenty days.

Pirates who had completed their adventures in the first half of the Grand Line began to pour into the Sabaody Archipelago in large numbers. As more pirates came in than left, the concentration of pirates on the archipelago exceeded the standard.

Out of every ten people passing by, at least seven were pirates, and the rest were indigenous people and tourists.

The sudden increase in the number of pirates and the contraction of the navy and the World Government have led to worsening public security in the Sabaody Archipelago and outsiders disrupting local order.

The current situation where the underworld forces that control the underground world are engaged in a fierce battle with the pirate group is truly a rare and strange sight that the indigenous people living here have never experienced before.

Chaos has its disadvantages, but it also brings more wealth. Uncontrollable chaos is the stepping stone to ascend. Many evil spirits are waiting for this day.

Xia Qi's blackmail bar is located on Island No. 13, an illegal area in the archipelago. The business is booming and one person is completely unable to handle it.

Most of the time, her man is drinking and sword-fighting with other men. It is better for Xia Qi to rely on herself for business matters than on Rayleigh. These two days, Xia Qi chose to close the store and take a rest, and recruit a favorite and reliable waiter to relieve her pressure of working in the store.

There were no outsiders in Shaoqi's extortion BAR today. Xia Qi, as the employer, sat in the middle, with old Yasuo sitting on his left and Pluto Rayleigh sitting on his right, interviewing the workers who came to apply for the job.

The poster for recruiting waiters has been posted outside for half a month. As there are more and more strangers on the island recently, most of them have started to sell their physical labor and work for the indigenous people of the archipelago in exchange for living expenses in order to support their families.

The salary offered by Xia Qi was not too high, being mid-level among peers, but more people came for the interview than expected.

In almost one day, the three interviewed hundreds of workers, most of whom were humans. Many people of other races also participated in the interview process, actively wanting to get a job and even taking the initiative to lower their salaries.

"I feel that the character of these job applicants during the day is not very good. They all have a bit of pirate air about them. I guess they all came to the island on the ship." Although Rayleigh has been retired for many years, his eyesight has not deteriorated. He can tell at a glance whether a person is a pirate or not.

Hiring a pirate as a waiter in the store is a bit too optimistic and it's like making fun of your own store. Not every pirate has Luffy's character, and if you're not careful the whole store may be lost.

Most of the pirates in this group are scum. Can you still be called a thief if your hands are not stained with blood?

Is it possible for them to settle down and become workers after they have been used to fighting for supplies? Xia Qi would not make herself uncomfortable by hiring a powder keg that was ready to explode at any time into the store.

When the couple went out together, it was impossible that the store would be sold by pirates right after they left, right? If that were the case, it would be too funny. Pluto Rayleigh could be said to have lost his integrity in his later years.

If they lose their last safe haven, where can Rayleigh and his woman go? Is there any place on the sea that can provide them with shelter?

"Why not try the last transvestite who left? Although her makeup and clothing taste are hard to evaluate, she is definitely not a pirate," Yasuo thought of the heavily made-up transvestite. Although she looked very ugly and had hairy legs when wearing a skirt, she was a decent person in terms of her social skills. She was a working man who had no money to make music.

Xia Qi shook her head and disagreed. She didn't want to hire a transvestite as a waitress. Mental obsession was one thing, but the appearance of a transvestite in the store might affect the business. She wanted to make some money for retirement while the situation was peaceful.

All the expenses for being with Pluto Rayleigh were paid by a single woman, Shaqi. After the split as the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, the little property Rayleigh got had long been spent.

After Roger's death, Rayleigh became somewhat disheartened and it was impossible for him to go back to his old job. He could only stay around women and eat their free food, eating and drinking Xia Qi's food and drinks.

Xia Qi has to earn money for retirement for herself and her man. If she doesn't work hard to make money, Bailey will spend all his money one day. The woman doesn't want her man to continue to get involved in dangerous things, so she lets Reilly retire with peace of mind, live his own life and not worry about others.

"Excuse me, has the application for this store ended?"

"We sisters are here to apply for the job of waitress"

A pair of beautiful twin sisters, wearing exactly the same clothes, having exactly the same face, one with pink hair and the other with blue hair, even their hairstyle is the same - short neck-length hair.

Two beautiful girls came to apply for the job, and the three interviewers were immediately interested. Pretty people are pleasing to the eye, and they also have nice voices.

The one with bangs covering her left eye is the older sister Ram (pink hair), and the one with bangs covering her right eye is the younger sister Rem (blue hair). Both sisters are no taller than 1.6 meters. They claim to have been maids for princes and nobles, and there is no problem for them to serve dishes and be waitresses. It is a piece of cake for the twin sisters.

There is no air of pirates in Ram and Rem. Although they have experienced the dangers of the world, they now just want to find a place to stay on the island and a job to support themselves.

The two sisters did not hide how they got on the island. Ram and Rem looked very weak with tears in their eyes as they recounted their dark past when they were captured by human traffickers. They escaped with great difficulty and did not want to return to that hell filled with the stench of corpses.

Because they had seen the sky curtain, the two sisters knew that Xia Qi had some skills. Only if they worked honestly in the store could they avoid the pursuit of the traffickers and gain their freedom temporarily.

Of course Xia Qi would not believe the sisters' one-sided words, but since the other party needed her help, she had the leverage in her hand to seek protection, which she could use more easily than an ordinary waiter.

Ram and Rem are very pleasing to the eye in the store. It is better than being with a shemale. Besides, the twin sisters are not yet adults and are not tall. Both girls are seventeen years old.

After several rounds of negotiations, the interviewer agreed to let the two sisters stay in the store. Xia Qi would find time to collect intelligence from the outside and check whether what the two sisters said was true.

Xia Qi is now eager to open the store, so she is offering a trial period to people of unknown origin, during which they will be provided with food and lodging but will not be paid.

Ram and Rem nodded in agreement at the same time. Whether the twins can withstand the test of trust depends on their performance in serving dishes and the customers' evaluation of them.
