Pirate: My partner is too crooked

"You said, you want to know the movements of Pluto Rayleigh?"

Almost instantly, Xia Qi put away the surprise on his face, regained his composure, and slowly lit a cigarette for himself, "This is incredible information."

After saying that, a thick smoke ring was spit out and spread rapidly in the narrow bar.

Aqua, who couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, did it with ease. The brilliant blue light flashed on her fingertips, purifying all the harmful ingredients in the cigarette ring.

The air in the entire bar immediately became much fresher.

After the water purifier, the idiot goddess has another useless function as an air freshener.

This strange method made Xia Qi look slightly sideways.

"So do you know?" Lin Zhi sat down at the bar's booth unceremoniously.

"Now that you know my identity, you should not question my intelligence capabilities."

Xia Qi then sat down, crossed his legs and said in a deep voice, "I do know the movements of Pluto Rayleigh, if you can give me a reward that matches it."

She looked at the young man sitting opposite, waiting for his answer.

However, Lin Zhi did the opposite and changed the topic: "Is he selling himself to the auction because he lost gambling?"

If you can figure out the information you want without spending money, who would be willing to spend that money?
Even though they are now sitting on the golden land of Sky Island, they are not short of money at all!

As he thought, as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qi's smoking rhythm immediately became chaotic for a moment.

"It seems I guessed well." Lin Zhi chuckled.

Xia Qi raised his hand to take out the cigarette that had not been smoked for a few puffs, and crushed it in the ashtray.

It's all because of this useless thing that she was deceived by a mere offshore restaurant owner!

That's right, as Lao Jianghu, who has countless information, especially information about potential newcomers, she recognized the identities of Lin Zhi and the others as early as when they pushed the door open:

The offshore restaurant gang caused several havoc in the East China Sea and became the heroes of the East China Sea!
This kid, both mentally and physically, seems to be a bit stronger than what the news describes.

and……

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he seemed to be very familiar with her and Rayleigh?

Xia Qi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and a slight hint of wariness - even though she didn't feel the slightest malice from the other party.

This is the instinctive habit of old pirates.

"Kid, you are the first newcomer in this sea who dares to trick me like this."

She stared at Lin Zhi with a slightly cold gaze, and at the same time reminded the blue-haired girl who secretly opened the wine cabinet not far away, "That's over there. That's the most expensive drink in the store. You'd better think carefully before taking it."

Aqua was suddenly startled and silently closed the half-open cabinet door again.

At this moment, Lin Zhi put his hand on his waist and pulled out a heavy gold brick.

With a snap, the long shiny brick was placed in front of Xia Qi.

Seeing this, Xia Qi reached out and took away the gold brick without leaving any trace. The coldness in his eyes quickly dissipated: "If you have this, then please do so."

"That's great, Lin Zhi. Since you are so sensible, then you look like you are stingy on this goddess's side..." Aqua beamed, opening the cupboard door quickly and taking out a bottle of wine.

"That's not wine money, but money to buy other information about the current power structure of the Chambord Islands."

Lin Zhimo emotionally interrupted Aqua's contentment.Aqua's expression froze for a moment: "..."

Bastard Lin Zhi, why the fuck are you still touching me! !

After cursing Lin Zhi in her heart, she reluctantly put the wine back.

Although acting rogue and losing her temper is the norm for a stupid goddess, she still behaves herself outside.

Fortunately, after receiving the money, Xia Qi was very enthusiastic and stood up to pour a few free glasses of cold beer.

After completing this action, she began to introduce to Lin Zhi the forces currently active in the Shampoo Islands.

"There's nothing to say about the merchants. Since you even know my identity, there's no way you don't know what the merchants in Shampoo are like."

"As for pirates, the timing of your arrival is quite coincidental. This year's three supernova electric shock boy Jeff Regg, hedgehog swordsman Lockstar, and Frankenstein Desbuss have all appeared in Shampoo Land in recent days. .”

Hearing this, Lin Zhi picked up the beer in front of him and took a long sip.

Dengeki Boy had just been defeated by him, and Rockstar, if I remember correctly, should be the newcomer who later joined the red-haired pirates.

As for Frankenstein, I have no impression at all.

(No detailed plot, just a rough estimate of the number of passers-by)
"What about the Navy?" he asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that the other party's expression was extremely calm after hearing about Supernova, but instead he was interested in the navy, the old Jianghu Xia Qi immediately saw something was wrong.

Even so, she was paid to give out information very dedicatedly.

"Currently stationed at the Shampoo Islands is the headquarters colonel who was just transferred here not long ago, Smog the Smoker. This guy is a user with the ability of the natural smoke fruit. He is very powerful. Many budding pirates have been caught. "

I didn't expect that the powerful marine that the electric shock boy mentioned was actually Smoker?

After the brief shock, Lin Zhi quickly figured out the reason.

When leaving Rogge Town, Smoker once said that he was going to the Grand Line to become stronger.

Considering his style of killing all pirates before the Grand Line, the Shampoo Islands, which are only one step away from the New World, is indeed the most suitable place.

However, this guy who always goes his own way has always been very unpopular in the navy. How could he get what he wanted?
Perhaps it was Garp Sengoku who was helping from behind, or maybe it was because the chaotic and complicated Shampoo Land itself was a hot potato in the eyes of other naval officers?
The specific reason is unknown.

"Huh? Is that smoking man with a bad face here too?" Aqua blinked her intelligent blue eyes.

After all, it was the first natural Devil Fruit user she had come into contact with, so she was quite impressed.

King and Miaomiao, who were standing behind, had the same expressions of understanding.

"It seems you know that man." Xia Qi said.

"We met a few times in Rogge Town before, so we know each other."

Lin Zhi briefly explained it and had no intention of saying more.

If there are only these forces in the Shampoo Islands at this stage, it will not have much impact on the next actions.

As if he had read through his inner thoughts, Xia Qi coughed lightly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"In addition to Smoker who is stationed locally, according to rumors, Navy hero Monkey D. Garp and Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Kuzan are also in the Shampoo Islands now~"

Hearing this, Lin Zhi, who was confident that he could handle it easily: "..." (End of Chapter)
