Humans are profit-seeking creatures, especially pirates. When there is enough to be gained, many pirates can put their risks or even their own lives on the line.

I'm afraid that even Dorek didn't expect that such a news with an obvious rumor nature would spread so widely and attract so many pirates.

This is a chaotic neutral zone, and there are many pirates and underground forces entrenched here, and some people may have had the idea of coming here before, but this news only amplifies this idea.

But for Dorek, it was a headache.

He hated it so much at this point, and if it weren't for that damn bastard of Ballooth, he wouldn't even dare to go to sea now.

This place that can accommodate pirates has its own order, and if he goes to sea, there will be no such good thing, and Dorek can't guarantee that he will disappear from under the noses of so many people.

The most hateful thing is that he has refuted the rumors many times, but many people still only believe what they want to believe, that is, they feel that he has a devil fruit in his hand. In other words, even if he already knows that he doesn't have such a thing in his hand, he still has to take such a good opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from him.

Not all pirates yearn for the New World and want something as ethereal as ONE PIECE, and many pirates may never plan to leave this area of the North Sea for the rest of their lives.

For such people, the purpose is just to make money.

Of course, there are also some ambitious pirates who want Devil Fruits and will do whatever it takes to get them.

This is really a helpless thing, if Dorek really has a devil fruit, he will never think about any bullshit auction now, but just eat it, so that these people can no longer covet him.

However, the reality has no ifs, he can still only bear such grievances, and lives under the eyes of many people every day.

Fortunately, his own strength is strong enough in this area, and the pirate group's subordinates are not bad, and no one has done anything to him for the time being.

It's just that as the news continues to ferment, no one can say what will happen, just like rows of gunpowder, all it takes is a little spark to explode in an instant.

"Captain, this is not the way to go on, last night there were a few more people who tried to sneak into our ship, and several brothers were injured."

"These damn bastards, all of them want to fish in troubled waters, they want to eat our flesh, don't they know that the news like Devil Fruit can be fake? No, a lot of people know it, they just need a decent excuse to have a feast, and we are the ingredients for this feast. Dorek snorted coldly, and his one eye kept flashing with a cold light, "But if you want to swallow us, you also have to see if your appetite is good enough, I have secretly contacted others, this time may not be an opportunity for us, since we are regarded as prey, then we must be prepared to be eaten by the prey." Give me a few days, and then they'll find out that the sharks they thought we could hunt at the price of were actually the sea kings who could swallow them. ”

Dorek himself is not a good stubble and will never sit idly by. It's not like he hasn't done anything in the past few days, on the one hand, he is attracting attention in the open, on the other hand, he is also operating in secret, colluding with some people, he has to take this opportunity to plan well, and after success, the strength of the pirates will be significantly improved.

Of course, it is still unknown who is the praying mantis and who is the sparrow.

"As the captain of the ship, we will endure it for a few more days, and then see how they die." In view of Dorek's past achievements, it was easy for his subordinates to believe in Dorek.

"You have to be more restrained these days and continue to play as before." The people who came to him were naturally confidants, so there was no need to worry about the plan being leaked, Dorek was thinking about something else, "It's a pity that that bastard Bablos left here early, otherwise I would never let him go this time." I even suspect that there is a lot of news that he deliberately sent out to deal with me. ”

"It's a pity that he doesn't know the captain's plan, when the captain and we deal with these greedy hyenas, the strength will inevitably increase, and no matter how you clean them up at that time, it's not all the captain's words."

"Kuhahahaha, that's right, just let that bastard live a few more days, and one day he will understand the fate of going against Lao Tzu." Dorek grinned.

Several of his subordinates laughed together, and for a while there was a bit of a group of demons dancing around.

……

……

After landing, the pirates have a lackluster day, and the night is when they are at their most energetic.

The Brass Bell Tavern is a place where many pirates are willing to come, and although the wine here is a little more expensive than other places, there is no problem with the quality, and there is never such a thing as mixing wine in the water.

Not to mention that the meat business on the tavern is the best, of good quality, and doesn't have a lot of. Apart from being a little more expensive, there is nothing else wrong with it.

But the price is expensive, usually not the problem of the person itself, but the problem of your guests.

It is said that it is only said that there are nobles who live in the inner city have visited this place many times, and rounding it up is equivalent to being a brother who squandered bodily fluids in the same pit as the nobleman.

For these, the pirates and underground forces who have lived here for a long time are clear.

Many people know that the boss doesn't care about business, he only cares about not breaking the rules. For example, there can be no fights in the tavern, and the women in the tavern cannot be coerced by means, let alone accept women of unknown origin and unwilling to engage in this industry.

But it's also true that business here is booming.

This is actually a very normal and reasonable situation, although the pirates are the most unruly group of people except for the Draconians, they themselves also yearn for such a place to talk about rules.

It sounds a bit contradictory, but it's actually very understandable, after all, the plundering on the sea depends on its own means, and when you come to land, you naturally don't want to be intrigued all the time, and if you are not careful, you may even put your life into it.

And such a person who is strong enough to set such a rule, so that the pirates can enjoy themselves unscrupulously, will naturally be very popular.

Unfortunately, there is no casino here, otherwise the popularity will go to the next level.

Dorek appeared in the tavern at night on time, and seemed to be very calm, and anyone who saw him like this didn't believe that he had a Devil Fruit, after all, if he had it, he would either eat it early, or just run away.

As for why Dorek is sure that he didn't eat the Devil Fruit, it's actually very simple, Dorek himself used seawater when he refuted the rumors.

Even so, there are still many people who secretly look at Dorek with some hidden light.

Dorek knew this, but was unmoved.

He led two people straight to the front of the stage and said in a loud voice, "Isn't Lord Spark here today?" ”

The bartender at the bar was already familiar with Dorek, after all, he was the most generous one in the past few days, and he could receive a lot of commission from it, so he replied: "Master Spark has something to do, and he will come back in about an hour." If you have something, I can wait for the adults to come back and tell him. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Dorek shook his head, "It's still the same, and tell Miss Chrissy that I'll go to her when I'm done drinking, and ask her to set aside time for me." ”

As he spoke, he pressed one hand on the bar and slowly pushed the bills over.

The bartender naturally took the money away, which was one of the reasons why he had a good attitude towards Dorek, spending money generously and tipping generously.

Who would refuse to be kind and kind?

"Your luck today is not very good, Miss Chrissy probably doesn't have time tonight, but today there is a new Miss Mifu, who was a good family before, and chose to work part-time in this industry for some reason, and has not received guests yet, and you earned it today."

"Oh? And this kind of good thing? Dorek's eyes lit up, although the good family is not skilled enough, but it is better than the attractive temperament, and the bonus of status, but it is much more popular than the professional.

However, Dorek faintly heard some jealousy in the bartender's tone, and couldn't help asking: "It is said that such a person should not lack guests, right, is there any other secret?" As he spoke, another bill was quietly handed to the bartender.

"This Miss Mifu has a good figure, but the corresponding price is also very high, and not everyone is willing to pay this money."

Dorek understood at once, it was obvious that the bartender also coveted Miss Mifu a little, but because of the price, it was probably not successful, so he was not in a good mood.

Dorek's net worth is naturally not comparable to that of a small bartender, and his unaffordability does not mean that he can't afford it, and he was aroused by the bartender: "Don't worry, money is not a problem, tell Miss Mifu that I will go to her soon." ”

After saying that, he took two of his men to an empty table and sat down, ignoring the bartender's complicated eyes.

In fact, the waitress in the tavern, if the conditions are right, can also take them upstairs or to other hotels after work.

Most of the time, though, the waiters here work in taverns, and they only make extra money occasionally.

Of course, if you are very handsome, you can prostitute yourself for nothing without spending money, and it doesn't matter if you are even eaten upside down to eat soft rice, but it's a pity that there are too few such people among the pirates.

The time of conviviality was always short, and Dorek soon left the wine table and turned and walked towards the side door, from where he could go upstairs to a more joyful place.

The bartender was busy, and suddenly his vision darkened, and he looked up and saw a man with a bald head tattoo with a fierce aura, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Boss, you're back." ”

"Well, pour me a drink." The man sat down at the bar, "Nothing happened today, right?" ”

The other bartender quickly poured a glass of wine and brought it in front of Spark, and the bartender just now said, "That Dorek is here again, just now I went upstairs to find Miss Mifu." ”

Spark stared at the bartender for a moment, and said in a smug voice, "It's just a trifle, Dorek is a smart man, and fools don't live long on this sea, you know?" ”

The bartender's cold sweat seeped out all of a sudden, and his hands were a little trembling when he poured the wine, and said, "I'm sorry, Boss, I ......"

"No one is stupid enough to make trouble here, and it won't be too much of a problem for them to touch it, so ......," Spark took a sip from his glass, "and if there is another such thing, you won't have to come again." ”

"Yes, Master Spark!" The bartender's back was soaked with sweat and he almost collapsed.

He knew that there was something wrong with the woman named Mive, and he understood it from the time she offered to approach Dorek, but he couldn't keep it from making the other party too tempting, so he had to do it.

But as Spark said, here, no one dares to make any trouble, and Lord Spark is more tolerant of those close to him, which is the reason for his boldness, or he will be tempted, he will not dare to do such a thing, and he will not know how to die.

At this moment, two people dressed in bells and whistles walked to the bar, especially the man in charge, who was still wearing sunglasses in the room at night, and looked like he wanted to punch him.

tomato

The other teenager is more funny, with a nose like a red ball that is different from ordinary people.

The two of them sat at the bar, and the man with sunglasses did not order the wine first, but tilted his head and spoke to the Spark next to him, and his tone seemed to be very familiar: "Tsk, it is very similar to the previous style, Jabba, and the majesty has not diminished back then." I'm afraid this little brother is going to be scared of you. ”

The tone was frivolous and playful, even the expression was the same, which shocked the bartender opposite.

He couldn't believe that in such a place, there were still people who dared to talk like this to their boss, knowing that anyone who dared to offend the boss would not end well.

Master Spark is very generous to those close to him, not to say the same to strangers, in the eyes of the bartender, it is simply looking for death.

But the man on the other side didn't realize this yet, so he turned around and asked the young red nose next to him: "You said yes, Bucky?" ”

Spark suddenly turned his head and looked at the two men who suddenly appeared, his brows furrowed, and his expression was not very angry, but a bartender who was not very familiar.

"You're busy with you, this is my old man, don't worry about this."

Spark waved his hand for the bartender to leave to get busy, and then turned to look at Allen, "From the time I heard the news that you came to Beihai, I had such a hunch, with your guy's ability, you will definitely be able to get my news, and you will be able to find me, but I didn't expect you to be so fast, and I didn't expect that the red-nosed imp who was once the most keen on treasure hunting would follow you to become a navy."

We haven't seen each other in over a decade, and time flies. ”

"yes, I didn't expect you to hide in this place in the North Sea."
