Led by Hachi, the long-mouthed octopus, Annie, Luffy and the rest of the group soon arrived at the gate of this strange house called 'Shachi's Rip-off Bar' deep in the Chambord Islands.
Then, after pushing the door open and entering, they successfully saw the powerful black-haired proprietress Xia who was running a bar here, with a cigarette in her mouth, and was beating up a few customers and throwing them out of the store. strange.
"Hi~!"
"Xia Qi, are you okay?"
"long time no see."
"Yo!"
"So it's you, Xiaoba?"
"It's been a long time indeed. Think about it, it's been almost ten years, right?"
"I thought you were dead!"
"Ha ha……"
"Xia Qi, you really know how to joke..."
It seems that Octopus Man Xiaohachi is not bragging. He and the charming short-haired shop owner in front of him do know each other, and they are very familiar with each other. Therefore, as soon as they met, the two started chatting with each other. Leaving the others aside.
"??"
|??ω?`)
She looked into the bar and found that it was quite clean and bright. It was not as smoky as the bar called 'The Broken Pot' that she had been to before. Annie then walked in.
"Are these all your friends?"
"come in!"
"You must be very tired after traveling all the way to my place, right? Come on, find a seat and sit down. I will get you something to eat and drink right away."
After the conversation was over, the proprietress Xia Qi had time to take a moment to look at Annie, Luffy and the others who had squeezed in. However, she didn't ask any more questions. She directly signaled everyone to feel free to go to the counter. Picking up things later.
"correct!"
"Xiaoba, what are you doing recently?"
"Are you going on an adventure at sea with these brats?"
The proprietress Xia Qi asked without looking back while she was busy at the counter.
She just saw clearly that, except for her old friend the octopus man Xiaoba, all the people who came to her were teenagers, and there was even a seven or eight-year-old kid among them. This really made her feel It was quite strange, so I couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.
"No!"
"I'm no longer a pirate. Now I mainly bring them here to find their way, and then help them with a little help."
"oh?"
"I stopped being a pirate. What happened?"
"this……"
"It's a long story."
"Yeah?"
"But that's okay. It's best and safest for us to rely on our craftsmanship to make a living. Being a pirate is not that easy. It's a high-risk job."
"Speaking of which..."
"It's so rare for a mermaid to come onto land!"
"And this, today's little devils have become so powerful, starting to wander the world when they are only seven or eight years old?"
The proprietress prepared drinks and food for everyone while chatting with Octopus Man Hachi. Then, after she was basically done with her work, she looked at Kemi, who was sitting motionless on the sofa in a skirt, with some amusement and emotion, and Kemi, who was sitting motionless on the sofa. Little Annie eating desserts and marshmallows.
"And that skeleton over there..."
"It's quite a rare existence!"
The little girl, the mermaid, the starfish, the little deer, the little ghost and the skeleton, Xia Qi didn't know what to say when he saw the group of pirates that Xiaoba brought to his shop today.
"That's Brook, Luffy's partner."
"It is said that he became like that after eating a certain fruit and dying."
Xiaoba didn't mean to hide it and introduced it directly to the other party.
"Is that so?"
"Then you came here today to find Rayleigh for them?"
"Yes!"
"Xia Qi, I plan to ask Rayleigh to help and coat Luffy's ship so that their ship can dive to the bottom of the sea."
"You also know that with their status, it is impossible to pass through that normal channel."
"Yeah?"
"But unfortunately, Rayleigh is not here today..."
"Not there?"
"Then where is he?"
"There's no rush, we'll talk about this later."
After waving her hand to signal Xiaoba not to worry, the proprietress Xia Qi thought for a while and then approached Luffy with a smile.
"You're Luffy!"
"Monkey D. Luffy, right? I have read your report, you are really quite bold!"
"but……"
"I have some information here that you will definitely want to hear."
First he made a joke, and then, the proprietress Xia Qicai suddenly changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Eh?"
"What is it?"
After hearing what the proprietress Xia Qi said, Luffy subconsciously asked.
"call!"
"Here's the thing. Counting you, there are currently eleven wanted criminals with a bounty of over 100 million on the Chambord Islands."
"This is not a good sign, you have to be careful."
Xia Qi said quietly, hoping to see a trace of fear on Luffy's face, but she was soon disappointed, because Luffy's face was just surprised and curious.
"Bounty?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Then Aunt Xia Qi, what is the reward?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
At this time, Annie took the initiative to come over and asked curiously.
Because of the bounty and so on, she had heard Nami and Robin talk about it several times, and now that this aunt mentioned it specifically again, she definitely needed to know more about it.
"A-aunt?"
"All right……"
The corner of her mouth twitched, although she wanted to correct the little girl's inappropriate name for herself, but after looking at Annie's smart, cute, and well-behaved little round face, she hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing more. .
After all, she has been a pirate for forty years. It seems that it is not too much for a little girl of a certain age to call her aunt?
"Bounty, that is, reward money."
"It is a bounty placed by the world government on wanted criminals, such as pirates like Luffy. The size of the bounty not only represents how powerful the person being rewarded is, but also represents the impact that person has on the government. How high is the 'danger' or 'threat'."
"Currently, in addition to Luffy and little Roronoa who are with him, there are nine people on the island who are worth over 100 million. They are..."
Seeing that the little girl had asked and the people around her seemed to be very interested, and considering that these people were still Xiaoba's friends, Xia Qi thought about it, and then made a rare exception and decided to make an exception without charging a fee and began to introduce slowly. stand up:
"Gangster, Capone Becky, the reward is 138 million beli..."
"The Big Eater of the Bonny Pirates, Qiao Ellie Bonny, has a bounty of 140 million Baileys..."
"The magician, Basil Hawkins, has a bounty of 249 million beli..."
"Hai Ming, DJ Yin Apu, the reward is 198 million beli..."
"Eustace 'Captain' Kidd, the bounty is 315 million Baileys..."
"That's a dangerous guy, Luffy, be careful if you encounter him."
"There is also Red Flag, Dies Dolegu, with a reward of 222 million beli..."
"Weird monk, Urki, the reward is 108 million beli..."
"Kill the warrior, Kira, the reward is 162 million beli..."
"as well as……"
"The surgeon of death, Trafalgar Law, has a reward of 200 million beli..."
"The above is the information about all pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, except for Luffy and Roronoa. No more, no less. There are eleven in total now!"
"but……"
"Compared to the number of pirate groups that entered the Grand Line back then, the number that have successfully arrived at the Shampoo Islands is already very small."
The proprietress Xia Qi spoke slowly while puffing away her smoke.
She seemed to be reminded of the time when they were pirates, and the reason why she chose to come to the Chambord Islands after washing her hands in the golden basin, to settle here in one of the transit stations and gathering points of the great route, and to open such a business If you think about it, there is definitely no reason to come to a bar.
"Oops!"
"So many people gathered here, we thought we were the only ones..."
"It's definitely a bit tricky."
"However, we are just here for coating, so we shouldn't have any conflicts with them for the time being, right?"
"Oh~"
"..."
After hearing the information from the proprietress Xia Qi, Robin, Nami, Chopper, Brooke and others all changed their expressions and started discussing in low voices.
Of course, except for a certain bad little girl?
Because at this time, her focus did not seem to be on who those guys with bounties of over 100 million were, or how powerful they were, but on the counter again.
"Na!"
(?ω?)
"Aunt Xia Qi, how much is the reward?"
|?˙?˙)?
Annie asked excitedly.
Although she didn't know what the bounty was for, but since there were guys she didn't know, how could she, Queen Anne, be willing to lag behind others?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"you?"
"Little guy, what's your name?"
Only then did Xia Qi remember. It seemed that she really didn't know the name of this little girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old?
After all, the people Hachi brought today were all from Straw Hat Luffy's group. She had seen them all in the bulletin. Although the bounties were a bit uneven, she knew their names and had some impressions, but what she saw in front of her was She really didn't recognize this little girl lying on her counter, and she didn't have any impression of him, and she definitely hadn't seen her in bulletins or reward lists.
"Annie!"
?(?????????)?
"Anne Hastur!"
(^_?)☆
Anne didn't mean to hide it at all, and said her name directly and carelessly.
"..."
However, at this time, that Xia Qi frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
(
"Any questions?"
(⊙o⊙*)?
"Feel sorry!"
"Little guy, I haven't heard anything about you, I thought..."
"Your bounty should be zero, right?"
Yes, Xia Qi was very sure that there was no such weird little girl in the Straw Hats' report, and her name was certainly not on the bounty list. Therefore, even if Annie went to hang out in front of the Navy Headquarters gate, she would definitely not be there. Someone would pay attention to her, because no one wanted her at all, and they didn't even know that she was with Luffy and other pirates.
"Why zero?"
=*)
"That's not fair! All of them combined are not as powerful as anyone else!"
?(?﹏?,)?
Anne was a little angry. You know, even the rubber man Luffy has a bounty of over 300 million. Why is she, Queen Anne, still zero?
"..."
"..."
"..."
After hearing Annie's words, Luffy, Nami, Brooke, Robin and others just looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, if you think about it seriously, what Anne just said seems to be true. If you compare it in terms of hard power alone, it seems that all of them combined are really incomparable?
"oh?"
The proprietress Xia Qi glanced at Luffy and the others who were silent and did not refute with some surprise, expressing that she was quite interested in the fact that the little girl dared to claim that she was stronger than everyone else.
"That……"
"Have you done anything bad?"
"Have you robbed a merchant ship, sunk a navy ship, or done something more terrifying?"
Xia Qi, who had a clear view of Luffy and others' reactions, thought about it for a moment before asking tentatively.
"Well..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"Maybe not……"
(^～^;)ゞ
Anne said that she had never done anything the other party said.
Although they had beaten up a group of bad guys on the way here before, it was those guys who came to cause trouble and attacked them first, so it should be regarded as legitimate defense and certainly not a terrible bad thing.
"She's so good, why do she have to do such boring things?"
(‖)?
She is super rich now and has food to eat. There is no need to rob other people's merchant ships. As for naval ships, forget about them. She doesn't even know them and has never seen them!
"Isn't this the end?"
"Huh~!"
"Little guy, you haven't done anything bad, and not many people know that you are with this little devil Luffy, so why are they wasting money to arrest you?"
“If you are not wanted, then you will definitely not receive a reward.
The proprietress Xia Qi shook her head and continued to puff away her breath, saying something dumbfounded.
"In fact..."
"Unlike Luffy and the others, I don't think you're even a pirate now?"
Of course, that's just the current temporary status quo. If war reporters repeatedly photograph the other party with Luffy and others, the situation will be completely different.
"Oh okay?"
(ー`′ー)
"Then what can you do to make your bounty very, very high?"
(*^▽^*)
Annie doesn't want to do bad things, and she doesn't necessarily have to do bad things. She's just a little bit dissatisfied with the rubber man Luffy and what Aunt Xia Qi just said. There are many, many bounties on the pirates of Barabala. Listen, It seemed very interesting and powerful, so I just wanted to join in the fun.
"..."
"Little guy, I advise you not to do anything."
"Pirates are not a good profession. You must not learn from Luffy or the others!"
Shaking his head, Xia Qi turned and walked aside, obviously not wanting to do such evil things as encouraging and leading children into bad ways.
"..."
(?????)
However, what the proprietress Xia Qi didn't know was that even if she didn't say it, Anne was starting to have some bold ideas brewing in her heart.
