Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Professionals do professional things. Although the fields involved by Morgans and others have little to do with the slave trade, it is easy for them to instigate several large-scale slave trader groups with their huge influence.

After all, since the rise of Tezoro, the resistance consciousness of the people who were forced into slavery on the sea has been rekindled since Tiger's "death", and resistance movements of varying sizes have broken out all over the world.

In particular, Tezulo used the huge wealth in his hands to offer a clear price reward to various slave trading organizations. The revolutionary army also seized the opportunity to help and absorb a large number of oppressed people to join them.

It was almost visibly seen that the culture of slave trading throughout the entire ocean had weakened a lot. As a result, the guys who had made their fortunes from the slave trade entered an unprecedented "career winter".

Now that these bigwigs are willing to provide support and have organized a large number of "like-minded people" to march to Fishman Island together, why not do it?

Even if the Whitebeard Pirates wanted to pursue the matter, how could the slave traders, who had finally had the opportunity to make a fortune, just give up?

When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on any law, not to mention that the profit is more than ten times? Therefore, almost everyone holds the fluke that they will not be held accountable, and goes to the Sabaody Archipelago to gamble on a lucrative future!

For a time, the coating work in the Sabaody Archipelago entered an unprecedented busy period. Whether it was the attraction of profits or the urgent needs of the Celestial Dragons above, the slave traders were supported to build ships and coat them at all costs, and then head to Fishman Island!

"Long time no see, Sister Xia Qi. The tavern is still as spacious as ever!"

At Xia Qi's rip-off bar, Yakumo Bai carefully observed the pub's surroundings which seemed to have not changed at all, as well as the proprietress whose appearance seemed to have remained the same as yesterday, and chuckled and joked.

"Ah~ What a rare visitor! Brother Yakumo~ And our Hancock has grown into a big girl!"

Seeing the unexpected visitor, Xia Qi immediately shook off her previous lazy state and greeted him with a smile.

"Um...Aunt Xia Qi, can you please stop pretending to be young? At your age, most people would probably be grandmothers, right?"

The empress, who was rude to everyone except Yakumo Shira and those who were close to her, couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and complained. She seriously doubted whether this old lady still maintained such a young appearance because she wanted to confuse those rookies and bring rare income to this deserted tavern.

"You can't say that~ Han... No, I should call you Hancock. You are not as cute as you were when you were a child~ Can you learn from Master Yakumo and say nice things to me, your elder?"

Hearing this, Xia Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said helplessly.

“Besides, you agreed to Yakumo Shirai’s move of Nine Snake Island without even discussing it with me, and I haven’t come to you to settle the score yet!

The last time Rayleigh and I went to visit you, that guy swam half the ocean for nothing! In the end, he came up empty-handed. If we hadn't seen the report in the newspaper that you had left the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we might still be in the dark!"

Unable to help but reach out and tap Hancock's smooth forehead, Xia Qi said unhappily, "Is there really some mysterious magic in the position of the Emperor of Nine Snake Island?"

Without exception, everyone who has worked in this position will meet a man who will make a lifetime mistake at first sight, and will involuntarily become arrogant and arbitrary. If it weren't for the fact that running this pub over the years has smoothed out many of their edges, they might not have been able to calmly accept the fact that they were almost ignored.

So, should we go back and take a look at Amazon Lily?

"Well... it's none of your business! I am the emperor of the Nine Snakes, so it is naturally up to me to decide how to arrange my own country. What's more, this is my dowry to Bai!

I think an old lady without love wouldn’t understand the sentiment behind this!”

Hancock raised her hand to protect her forehead as if by reflex and spoke confidently. Although her voice became weaker and her face became redder, one could still feel the firmness of her attitude from her words.

Such a scene made Xia Qi feel a sense of déjà vu and she couldn't help but have a headache. Yakumo Bai stepped forward at the right time and interrupted the argument between the two women. She was about to continue saying that the main business would not be mentioned anymore.

"Speaking of which, Sister Xia Qi, where is the legendary Pluto Rayleigh? Could he be making a fortune from the coating business that has become popular recently?

You didn't tell me that the shipwright who coated our ship was such a big shot. Otherwise, I would have to see for myself what level the Pirate King's deputy is like! "

It was clear in his mind that Rayleigh was taking the opportunity to observe him, so Yakumo Bai asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Rayleigh, that guy..."

Hearing this, Xia Qi's expression rarely revealed some concern and worry. After all, since Roger's death, the members of the original pirate group have reached a kind of invisible tacit agreement with the World Government - they will retreat to the sea, and the government will turn a blind eye to these remnants -

But if what Rayleigh is doing now is discovered...

"Let me explain to this young man who has come from afar, Xia Qi."

While Xia Qi was speaking, a hearty voice sounded from outside the door. The man gradually took off his black cloak, revealing a weathered and domineering face. There were some bloodstains on his pair of round-frame glasses, and he looked like he had just experienced a "battle".

However, what no one expected was that while Rayleigh said that he would explain it personally to the other party, the next second a flash of sword light cut through the air in the blink of an eye and slashed towards Yakumo Haku. With a crisp collision sound, many dense sword marks suddenly appeared in the tavern, and the wine bottles displayed in it were all shattered, and the charming aroma of wine filled the air.

"Hey! Rayleigh! What are you doing!?"

"Pay attention to me, Rayleigh! Are you going to bear the consequences of my loss?"

Hancock and Xia Qi's shouts came one after another, and they both looked at Rayleigh with surprise, wondering why the other party suddenly chose to take action.

"Haha~ Brother Yakumo, although this is not the first time we've met, I still have to say that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. You are the most outstanding young man I have ever met."

The blood-stained cloak had fallen to the side unknowingly. Rayleigh held the long sword steadily, staring at Yakumo Bai who was close at hand. His words were gentle, but his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Well, I don't dare to call myself outstanding, I just achieved some small achievements."

Yakumo Shiro responded with the same relaxed words and asked,

"Where did the great Pluto Rayleigh go? Why did he come back covered in blood? If the government sees him, it might cause trouble again!

Also, giving me such a gift right after we met is a bit too much for me to handle!"

"Humph! Although the Roger Pirates are gone, Fishman Island and the Fishman Tribe are still our partners. Now that our partners are in danger, how can I, an old man, just sit there and do nothing?

It's just like what you did, Yakumo Bai, just to resist the evil of capturing slaves!"

Rayleigh said in a deep voice, and then under the gaze of Yakumo Shiro, he said a name that was already a long time ago.

"The same goes for you. Although Oden has only been on our ship for a year, he is already our companion. I didn't know you were Kaido's man before, but now that you have come to my door, I have to show my sincerity no matter what!"

"Oden's death and the fall of Wano Country cannot be achieved without your participation!"

Hearing this, Yakumo Shiro nodded in sudden realization. To be honest, if the other party hadn't mentioned it, he might have only occasionally thought of this name at certain critical moments or when he was with Madam Toki.

Kozuki Oden... has become the dust of history, along with this country...

"I was wondering what happened, Mr. Rayleigh. The winners are kings and the losers are bandits. I think you, as a fellow pirate, should know this very well.

As that guy's former companion, I think you should also understand the so-called "samurai" spirit of Wano Country. Could it be that Kozuki Oden, the general of Wano Country and the head of the Kozuki family, has to rely on others to avenge himself for the ending he created?

Wouldn't that just make you a laughing stock?"

"Tsk! Just as you said, I'm a pirate, not a samurai, so I don't need to abide by those spirits!"

Rayleigh gritted his teeth and said, feeling as if something was blocking his heart, but he knew in his heart that he could do nothing about the other party.

Not to mention combat power, the Sabaody Archipelago is not a place for fighting, and once a battle breaks out, it will not be resolved in a short period of time. Under the close attention of the World Government, if the remnant of himself makes any big move, the next moment there will be a demon-killing order or a general's attack!

Retreating silently, Rayleigh winked at Xia Qi to signal her not to get involved. He then looked at Yakumo Bai seriously and said in a cold tone,

"This is not the place to fight, but that doesn't mean I'll give up. Yakumo Shiro, you just dealt with two big shots not long ago, but you suddenly came to the Sabaody Archipelago quietly and appeared in front of me openly...

If there is no purpose, no one would believe it, right?"

"Uh-huh~ That's right, Mr. Rayleigh."

With a smile that made people feel warm and cheerful, Yakumo Shiro nodded, and while reaching out to comfort Hancock who was about to reveal her fruit ability, he said,

"But don't be nervous, our goal is similar to yours, we also want the peace and stability of Fishman Island!"
