Chapter 6: Xia Qi's Tavern (Part 1)
“…… That's probably it, you guys go around first and see if you can gather some useful information, and I'll look for it on Reilly's side! Tesla, who was wearing a hideous and terrifying mask of death, commanded the CP9 people who followed him in a tone different from his usual speech.
The CP9 crowd, who also wore different image masks, did not have any objection to this.
In fact, acting with a mask happens to be their favorite and best way.
In addition, there are many islands in the Chambord archipelago, and the people who live and even live on them at the same time have all kinds of identities.
Covering one's face with a mask or something is simply the most common thing.
Even more exaggerated than this is that there are many people.
Therefore, whether it is Tesla or CP9, everyone will not attract the attention of others because they wear strange masks.
"By the way, if you come across a pirate ship owned by Doflamingo's Don Quixote, remember to keep an eye out for me." Tesla, who was about to leave the CP9 crowd, was just about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and said to the CP9 crowd.
Seeing Lu Qi wearing a strange mask, he nodded, and after signaling that he understood, Tesla turned straight away.
"Lucky?" At this moment, Kaku, whose real face was hidden under the strange mask he was also wearing, let out a question.
"Whatever he wants to do, it's not something we can stop...... Anyway, we all have to obey his orders before they come down! Lu Qi, who also changed his voice, looked at the back of Tesla, who had disappeared, and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
Chambord Islands Area 13.
"Well, I've finally found you, Xia Qi's knock-off bar!" When the special building from the manga and anime appeared in front of Tesla's eyes, the corners of his mouth, hidden under the mask of hideous facts, turned up slightly.
Then, without hesitation, he pushed open the door of the hotel.
I don't know if it's because it's still early, although the hotel is not closed, but the guests who appear in the entire hotel at this moment seem to be only Tesla himself.
Tesla looked at the huge hotel, except for the irregular but very clean tables and chairs, there seemed to be only one woman lazily smoking a cigarette at the bar in the entire hall.
There is no doubt that the woman in front of Tesla, who looks like Canty in appearance, is not surprisingly the proprietress of this hotel, Xia Qi!
Speaking of which, if it weren't very clear to know the reasons for the change in Candy's dressing style and her real age and appearance, Tesla would definitely think that the Xia Qi in front of him, who was different in appearance but almost not surprised in temperament and style, was Candy's sister.
If you change the model of the chain around Xia Qi's neck, change the cigarette in your hand to a cigar, and then wear a pair of sunglasses, on the premise of ignoring her appearance, this is a copy of Canty!
With her hands propped up on the bar, Xia Qi, who looked very lazy, didn't seem to have the intention of taking the initiative to entertain Tesla.
Of course, Tesla doesn't care at all.
"Hostess, have a 'Bolgan' beer!" Tesla, who walked to the chair in front of Xia Qi and sat down, said to the proprietress Xia Qi in a disguised voice.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qi, who looked like a young woman in her twenties, first took a puff of cigarette slowly, and then slowly exhaled a few smoke rings, and then said unhurriedly: "Sorry, it's not yet the business hours for selling alcohol, or you are waiting, or you can change the hotel." ”
Xia Qi's indifferent attitude didn't look like she was doing business at all, and she didn't seem to be worried about not making money at all.
And Tesla, who knew Xia Qi's real business very well, didn't mean to be angry: "Oh, it's not time to sell alcohol? Then forget it......"
"However, although you can't drink alcohol, you shouldn't have a problem buying information, right? Well? Madame? ”
Xia Qi, who originally heard the first half of Tesla's sentence and thought he was ready to leave, was ready to stretch his waist and continue to rest, but he didn't expect that the action of stretching halfway was interrupted by Tesla's second half of the sentence!
"Huh? Interesting......" Xia Qi's eyes, which seemed to be full of laziness and boredom before, suddenly bloomed with a touch of dazzling brightness at this moment, and at the same time, the momentum and temperament of the whole person changed instantly.
"Tut-tut, a little ghost who has come to the Chambord Islands for the first time, or who has just disembarked, actually knows about me? It seems that your origin is not simple, right? Tell me, which old ghost introduced you? ”
Inadvertently, Xia Qi revealed his control over the intelligence of the entire Chambord Islands.
Tesla was indeed visiting Chambord for the first time, and likewise, his mask was chosen at random in one of the shops in the area.
However, from the time he put on the mask to the moment he came to Xia Qi's tavern, the slowest time would not exceed half an hour.
Even so, Xia Qi still learned about him.
Fortunately, because the level of secrecy is high enough, the title of "Pirate Butcher" is indeed well-known on the Great Voyage, but the real face under the title is known to very few people.
In the same way, the faces of the CP9 people are also in a state of high secrecy, so Xia Qi did not know their true identities through the faces of Tesla and CP9 people who were initially revealed.
Otherwise, Xia Qi would not be the same attitude as she is now.
After all, a customer of this type who looks a little strange and seems to have a lot of background, Xia Qi has not seen too much.
Either he has a prominent background, or he is self-sustaining and strong, or he is a little ghost who has just gone to sea and does not know the height of the sky......
Such a customer may know his current identity through some channel, and come to him for some unseemly purpose, wanting to get some equally unseemly information.
Xia Qi won't care about these, she won't pay attention to the background and background.
In other words, in this world, there are really only a handful of people who can compare their backgrounds with her!
Think about it, the pirates who can escape under the pursuit of Karp, who is known as the "naval hero", Xia Qi himself is the origin, and he is the background!
Of course, if it is the strongest new star of the navy that has been rumored in the entire great voyage some time ago, and the pirate butcher who has a combat power that is not inferior to that of a general, then it has to be a different matter.
"Name the introducer, is there a discount?" Tesla's voice is playful.
"Fart! No matter if you are the person introduced by the old ghost, there is absolutely no way to get a discount! And ......" Xia Qi suddenly stopped talking, did not continue, but kept staring at Tesla with some strange eyes, and continued for a while:
“…… My information here is very expensive! I don't know, can you afford it? ”
Tesla shook his head and pulled out a piece of tissue paper that looked like a check from his pocket.
"Huh? Tut-tut, I didn't expect that he was still a real rich man, since that's the case, let's speak! Seeing the universal exchange coupon equivalent to 100 million Bailey, Xia Qi's expression changed instantly.
This time, it was Tesla's turn to support his chin with one hand, staring at Xia Qi through the mask, and staring at the latter until the latter was a little hairy, and then slowly said in an extremely strange voice:
"My problem, there's only one!"
"Immortal Reilly......
"Where ????"
