"This is it?"

"Yes, according to the merchant's information, the other party will come here to eat every day at noon."

Tucked away in the attic on the third floor of a villa, Rossi and Virgo chatted through the window while cautiously surveying the restaurant across the street.

Gold-encrusted roses,

One of the most luxurious, stylish, and expensive restaurants in Uptown!

Through the two heavy doors of the restaurant and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the gorgeous tables and chairs, the exquisite bar, the pianist in the corner playing soothing music, and the elegant men and women laughing in a low voice...

Compared to the smoky garbage disposal area and the harbor area, which is full of sweat and sea breeze, it feels like a world away!

"It's coming—"

The two of them didn't have to wait long, and sure enough, just like in the intelligence: a man in a brown suit, tie, bowler hat, high nose and deep eyes, very 'social elite' demeanor, walked towards the gold-encrusted rose restaurant.

"That's Joe the 'Basman'!"

One of the martial arts cadres of the Jiedi family, the unlucky guy who was smashed by him, if not a thousand, but eight hundred, is definitely a murderer.

It can be seen that this cadre named 'Joe' attaches great importance to etiquette, whether it is the gesture of ordering food, or the use of knives and forks, his every move is full of 'upper-class' atmosphere, and Rosie's face is full of greasy.

Is there any use in paying attention to such meaningless things in this world?

Hawkers, I hope this guy's combat effectiveness is the same as his appearance, it's all pretentious.

Shangcheng District,

Rose Manor,

Wearing a scarf and a trench coat, Paul, a 'flower bow tie', took the information in his hand and walked quickly into the gorgeous hall, his usual smiling face becoming serious.

"Mr. Thompson, the information has arrived."

"Read,"

The fat merchant who was sitting on the leather sofa of the Sea King waved his hand, and the 'flower bow tie' Paul immediately opened the information in his hand.

"The two people who rescued the four-colored family are brothers,"

"Named Doflamingo, Rosinaudie..."

"Boarding the 'Pinta' in the New World 'Red Harbor' and working as a coolie on board at first..."

"After entering the North Sea, the captain, navigator, and boatswain on the ship had an internal bar, and finally they all died. The two brothers took control of the Pinta, and after transporting the passengers and sailors to their destination, they sailed to Spice Dameruz..."

Xiang contacted the merchant Wesker, and then had a conflict with the four-suit family. The reason why he challenged us later was because of the 'Devil Fruit' in the hands of the Four Colors family..."

"Well, it's two talents."

'Big Bill' Thompson raised his eyebrows, and an aura that belonged to a high position arose.

Being able to turn over from two 'slaves' to master a sea ship, or even snatch food from one's own hands, is by no means explained by the word 'luck'.

It's a pity -

"I have a little strength, I got a boat, and I thought I could compete with my Jiedi family?"

Even if he escapes to the sea, Thompson will capture those two imps and use their skulls to make wine glasses after torturing them to the point of collapse!

"Mr. Thompson, one more thing."

'Flower bow tie' Paul reported to the boss dissatisfied,

"Because these two imps are mixed with the four-suit family, there will inevitably be an accident, and before finding out the specific whereabouts of the other party, I let the leaders gather in the manor."

"But Joe, that guy, actually ran out alone. - Just for a meal? ”

Facing the indignant Paul, Thompson smiled and waved his hand.

"Let him go, Joe's temper."

No one else knows, but Thompson knows it very well:

Once upon a time, Joe was also a 'slave', the kind of slave who asked you to kneel and couldn't stand. Because of his good looks, he was bought back by a swordsman as... Valet.

Or 'bed toys' would be more appropriate.

Later, the swordsman was stoned to death with a blunt object by the 'robbers', and the family was only concerned about the inheritance, and no one cared about the truth. And 'Joe', who appeared in front of people's eyes again, has become a personable 'gentleman'.

Except for Thompson, no one knows the past of Joe, the 'hitter' who looks like Sven on the outside and is violent on the inside.

This 'gentleman' shell is the castle that Joe built to forget the past.

Poor guy, I can't even enjoy the services of a woman~~

Touching the beautiful woman kneeling at his feet, the boss of the Jiedi family took pity on his cadres for a full 0.1 seconds.

For capable subordinates, Thompson has always been very generous. Not to mention that Joe just went to have a meal, it didn't matter if he bought the restaurant.

————

"Mr. Qiao, please go slowly."

With the waiter's respectful salute, 'Basman' Joe finished his lunch and left.

The suit is meticulous, the leather shoes are dusty, and every step is measured with a ruler, not slow, no more, no less.

？！

"This guy is not simple."

Touching his chin, Rosie in the attic across the street looked serious.

“··· Isn't that a matter of course? ”

Virgo, who has always been serious, was also made unhappy by Rosie's nonsense that "this son is terrifying".

The martial arts cadres of the dignified Emperor Jie family are naturally very strong. - Otherwise, why did the four of them used to act together before, wasn't they afraid that they would be killed alone?

Especially at the moment when Torrebol, the Devil Fruit powerhouse, is seriously injured:

"Rosinandi, your ability is 'Silence', right?"

Anyway, they have fought side by side, and if Virgo can't guess Rossi's ability, he won't be a future undercover Navy and elite vice admiral.

"This ability doesn't have much impact on 'hitter' Joe."

"With the strength of the two of us, it's hard to take down each other-"

Virgo was not afraid of death, but he was also not willing to die senselessly.

"Don't worry, I'm scared to death."

Having said that, Rossi, who turned around and was about to ambush 'Basman' Joe in the planned place, did not have a trace of fear on his face.

"If I can't do it, I still have a 'secret weapon'."

Secret weapon?!

Virgo frowned, and followed without asking.

After all, two days ago, both sides were enemies.

————

The sun shines on the earth,

No matter how dark the town lurks, nothing will change for the sun.

After lunch, Joe visits the family's factory in the garbage disposal area. - His life is very regular, and the regularity is like a 'creed'.

So, as he walked slowly to a path leading to the processing area, the silence around him stopped.

"Come out,"

At the same time as Joe, who was in a suit and hat, spoke, a child jumped from the roof next to him with a sailor knife!

The sailor's knife that shone with cold light stabbed straight down at the bowler hat, without even a sound of breaking through the air, and the silence was extreme-

brush

At this moment, the man standing on the path pressed his top hat with one hand and his house with the other on his waist. The light flashed, and it was the sunlight reflected by the metal bat!

Boom!

The child who leapt down to assassinate him seemed to have been hit by an invisible sledgehammer and smashed sideways into the nearby building out of thin air, and the solid masonry walls burst into cobwebs with a roar.

"Huh,"

In the next second, the metal bat in the hand of the man in the suit and top hat turned downward, and with a loud bang, a dagger stabbed from the bottom up was blocked.

"I thought you rats had escaped to sea—"

The corners of Qiao's mouth with deep eyebrows rose slightly, revealing a cruel smile.

"I actually ran back to die."

With a swing of the metal bat, the dagger in Rossi's hand was slid away, and then Joe stepped forward, and the metal bat in his hand was like a 'sword' and stabbed at Rossi's face.

Although it is only a 'sleek' club, it is easy to shatter bones under the terrifying power of the opponent's eruption!

Syllable!

Before he could retract the dagger, his other hand suddenly raised and opened the opponent's bat.

What a strong force!

Although he blocked the opponent's attack, the power on the bat still surprised Rossi.

This is not at all like the strength of a 'normal' man, and it is definitely not bad compared to a pika of more than two meters. And—

brush

The bat in his hand shrank, omitting the action of 'retracting' out of thin air, and the bat in the opponent's hand roared again in the high-speed 'shrinking and stabbing' to Rossi's chest.

"Zero Tooth Protrusion!"

？

Boom!

In the next second, Rossi, who didn't expect the other party to have this move, was hit in the chest, and the whole person flew out of thin air.

“··· Hmph,"

A stick flew Rossi six or seven meters away. 'Basman' Joe frowned dissatisfiedly.

Because at the same time as his weapon touched the other party, the little boy had already kicked his feet and took the initiative to fly backwards.

"Ahem... Strength and agility are beyond common sense. ”

Turning over and jumping up from the ground, Rosie held a dagger in front of him, coughed dryly a few times, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to fly back just now, he was afraid that he wouldn't know how many ribs he would break.

boom

Virgo, who was 'pasted' to the wall by the opponent's volley, just fell, holding the sailor's knife in his hand and leaning forward. and Rossi blocked 'batsman' Joe in the trail.

"What about the others?"

Surrounded by Rossi and Virgo, 'Batsman' Joe casually turned the metal bat in his hand and looked around with his head held high.

"Just the two of you, there must be a limit to looking down on people!"

If you lose, you don't lose, Rosie immediately sneered.

"It's not over yet, what's the dog's name!"

————

Rose Manor,

Wearing a sophisticated high-end suit, with a big belly and a circle of brown curls under his bald head, Thompson, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"How daring, you really dare to come back-"

boom

kicked the 'beautiful **' in front of him to the side, and in the girl's 'woo-woo' scream, the fat merchant stood up suddenly.

"Someone!"

With his order, the door burst open!

Vinceau, a 'machine gun' covered in munitions, and Paul, a 'flower bow tie' in a scarf trench coat, poured in with a group of heavily armed thugs.

"Let's go, someone has made a move on Joe."

？

"Mr. Thompson, will Joe be killed..."

Since the boss said so, Joe's side must have encountered an enemy.

But what 'Flower Bow Tie' Paul was worried about was if by the time they rushed over, Joe's guy had already been-

"Impossible,"

"Joe's strength will never be easily defeated."

Thompson had a lot of faith in 'Batsman' Joe, and during his time as a 'toy', Joe learned everything he needed to get the counter kill.

Even those two little ghosts, plus the cadres of the four-colored family, can't take down Joe in a short time!
