Chapter 117: Chapter 116: The Empress And The King
On the thirteenth Grove of the Sabaody Archipelago, there is a lonely tavern on top of a hill.
The name of this tavern is also very arrogant, it is called 'Shakky's Rip-off Tavern'.
"This name is so arrogant! Is there really anyone who goes to this place?" Beckman looked at the name and couldn't help asking in surprise.
"I heard that because the proprietress is very beautiful, there are quite a few guests here." Doflamingo replied.
However, from his aesthetic point of view, Mrs. Shakky is not particularly beautiful, but she does have a good temperament.
"Beautiful?" Beckman's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something when the door of the tavern opened.
Then a slim woman with short hair came out from inside.
The woman still had a cigarette in her mouth, and some blood stained her cheeks. Afterwards, she dragged out two guys who had been beaten out of human shape from the tavern, and threw them into the river outside.
After finishing all this, the woman seemed to see Doflamingo and the others, and waved to them with a bright face: "Hey, some handsome boys, do you want to come in for a drink~?"
Beckman looked at the 'corpse' being washed down by the water, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "To be honest, I prefer a gentle and considerate kind of woman....."
"Madam Shakky should be very gentle and considerate..." Doflamingo muttered softly, and then said with a big smile: "Since she is kindly inviting, so let's have a few drinks!"
After speaking, Doflamingo took the lead and walked over there.
Gladius was fearless, and followed Doflamingo instantly. Vergo naturally had no objection, and Beckman hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
The tavern is not very big. There is a bar counter at the entrance, and then inside, there is a long table that is neither big nor small. There are sofas around the long table, and the rest... nothing.
As soon as you enter the door, you can still see a wine bottle that has just been broken on the ground.
Mrs. Shakky smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the two guests just drank too much, the red wine bottle was broken and spilled all over the floor, I'll clean it up right away..."
As a vampire fruit user, how could Doflamingo not recognize blood? There is a pool of bright red stuff on the ground, where is the red wine? It is obviously human blood!
He moved his finger lightly, and then the blood on the ground flew quickly, condensed into a small ball, and then went out the door, and into the river.
Shakky was a little surprised when she saw this, and raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say much, and quickly took out the broom to clean up the broken glass.
"What do you want to drink?" Shakky entered the bar counter and asked.
Doflamingo sat on the high stool, raised his hand and touched his chin, swept past the wine cabinet behind the bar and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"
After a pause, he tapped Gladius on the head again and said, "By the way, just give this kid a glass of juice."
"Young Master!!!" Gladius looked reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
"If you come to Sabaody Archipelago, of course you have to drink a cup of Bubble Tree Wine... The proprietress Shakky immediately recommended it.
This Bubble Tree Wine is a beverage made from the highest young leaves of the Yarukiman mangrove and then fermented with local delicacies. It can only be produced here in Sabaody Archipelago.
Doflamingo looked at Beckman and Vergo, Beckman shook his head and said, "I just want a glass of wheat beer."
Vergo really wanted to taste the local specialties, so he said immediately: "Give me a cup."
"No problem." Mrs. Shakky smiled and agreed, then looked at Doflamingo and asked, "Have you considered it?"
"Hmmm..." Doflamingo suddenly grinned at the corner of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Fufufufufu, madame, I heard that Calm Belt's Maiden Island, Amazon Lily...is rich in a kind of fine wine called 'Snake Fairy', do you know whether I can find that here?"
Shakky frowned and then said: "Oh, it seems that this little brother has good taste...."
After a pause, Shakky said: "The price of Snake Fairy is very high."
"Price is not an issue." Doflamingo immediately affirmed.
Shakky stopped talking when she heard this, and turned to bartending.
On the other side, Beckman was also sitting on the high stool, leaning his arms on the bar counter, and asked a little curiously: "This is the same Amazon Lily that is known for being full of beautiful women?"
Doflamingo was lighting a cigarette, so he didn't answer, but Shakky changed her movements swiftly while bartending, and responded, "That's right, it's the country of maidens."
"That's really the place I've been longing for in my dreams!" Beckman responded excitedly, and then said: "But I heard that Amazon Lily is very xenophobic, and it is a country of warriors and pirates. Few people can get close, right? How did the proprietress get into the wine from there?"
Shakky paused for a while, and did not speak. At this time, Doflamingo also lit a cigarette, shook his hand to extinguished the match, and said: "If you want to talk about why, it's because the proprietress is not an ordinary character....."
Beckman asked slightly curiously: "You know something?"
"Of course." Doflamingo responded: "She's the former captain of the Kuja Pirates, the former empress of Amazon Lily."
Beckman: ? ? ? ? ?
Hearing that, Beckman almost fell off the bar stool!
Let's not talk about her being the empress, just the Kuja Pirates are a well-known group in the pirate world, with a legendary nature.
Generally, the history of pirate groups is not very long, even the Roger Pirates, which were very popular for a while, are only one generation.
And most pirate groups are like this.
But the Kuja Pirates are different, they are a legendary pirate group that has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and almost every generation of Kuja Pirates' captains are strong people who can run rampant in the seas!
At the same time, Vergo seemed to have reacted, and said in a deep voice: "The Kuja Pirates have disappeared for many years..."
"Of course, after all, the captain came here to be the proprietress of the tavern." Doflamingo said with a smile.
"It's dangerous to know too much, little brother." Shakky put a glass of brewed wheat beer in front of Beckman, and said to Doflamingo.
"Fufufu, I'm not a Marine, and I don't have the bad taste to disturb other people's secluded life." Doflamingo said with a smile.
"So... the young master of Don Quixote's family, you don't mean to tell me you really came here for a glass of wine?" Shakky quickly brought Vergo another glass of Bubble Tree Wine, and then when he squatted down to get the treasured Snake Fairy wine, he asked casually.
Obviously, as the biggest information dealer on the Sabaody Archipelago, Shakky has already recognized Doflamingo.
"Cough..." Doflamingo cleared his throat, and then said seriously: "Next, we are going to go to the fish man island, so as to enter the New World. But Mrs. Shakky, you also know that if you want to go to the fish man island, it's very dangerous, you have to do the coating work well. I'm not familiar with the Sabaody Archipelago, so naturally I hope to find a good coating artist..."
"If you're not familiar with the place, then it's hard to find a good coater, 'Young Master'." Shakky stood up and said jokingly.
Doflamingo didn't deny anything, just smiled.
Shakky didn't seem to care about pretending anymore, and quickly said: "So, you are here for my old Rayleigh?"
"I heard that the Roger Pirates have entered and exited New World countless times. Except for the first few times, the follow-up coating on the Oro Jackson was all done by Senior Rayleigh.....is it true?" Doflamingo asked with a smile.
When his voice fell, his eyes were still looking at the door of the tavern behind him.
At the same time, a handsome middle-aged man with blond hair, wearing blue overalls, carrying a toolbox in his hand, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, walked in from the door.
The Pirate King's right arm, Dark King Silvers Rayleigh!
Compared with the grey-haired and slightly scruffy image twenty years later, Rayleigh at this time is obviously younger and more energetic.
"Hahahaha, you juniors know about such trivial matters?" Rayleigh laughed and walked in from the outside.
Then, he looked at Doflamingo and asked curiously: "You look a little familiar, but I'm getting old, I can't really remember..."
"Let me introduce myself, Senior Rayleigh..." Doflamingo was about to speak, but Shakky at the bar complained: "Then you are really confused, this is Don Quixote Doflamingo..... During the live broadcast of Logue town, didn't you say to the guy who said the phrase 'The Great Era of Piracy has come' to the phone slug, that he has a lot of foresight?"
When Rayleigh heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "It's you! The guy who fought with Sengoku at North Blue!"
Rayleigh himself has no airs, and his personality is also very carefree, and the proprietress Shakky is the same.
In addition, now that Rayleigh's identity has been 'exposed', naturally there is no need to hide anything, so he chatted with Doflamingo very quickly.
"So, you were also attracted by Roger's big secret treasure, and you want to go to New World to find it?" Rayleigh asked this suddenly while chatting.
Doflamingo thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Compared with the so-called One Piece, I have another goal..."
Rayleigh nodded when he heard that, and he didn't talk about this any more. He didn't intend to explore what Doflamingo's so-called "other goals" are.
"There is no problem with coating your ship. On the Sabaody Archipelago, my skills are still very good..." After Doflamingo mentioned the coating, Rayleigh also readily agreed.
