Six hundred and fifty-six Octopus Bone Tavern

The slums of Caribbean City are as cluttered and filthy as the shantytowns of the place where some kind of magic oil was produced.

The people who live here are the lowest level of the city, the fishermen, the craftsmen, the dock workers, the odd workers, the lowliest women, the crooks who make a living, the gangmates, and so on.

The buildings are all low and dilapidated, simply built of stone and wood, rough and shabby.

The houses are staggered and crowded together, revealing a lane with thousands of twists and turns, and from time to time there are ill-intentioned figures flashing in the dark alleys, and behind the broken doors and windows, there are also prying eyes.

There is a fishy smell wafting in the air, and there is an indescribably unpleasant smell that can smoke people directly.

There is a lot of sewage on the ground, and there is no sewer in the middle of the haphazard houses, so all kinds of sewage are dumped directly on the street.

The dry road was dusty, and a gust of wind blew up the floating ash on the ground, and it shrouded people with their heads and faces.

There was all kinds of garbage thrown everywhere on the ground, swarms of flies buzzing around on it, and dogs and cats scurrying out from time to time, turning the garbage everywhere.

The first time he set foot here, Lorraine frowned and pouted, although Nedel City also has slums, the environment is much better than here.

Caribbean Harbor is much larger than Naidel City, and the city is far more magnificent and luxurious than Naidel City, but on the other side of that drunken gold fan, it is as dilapidated as it is introduced.

The environment here is prone to plagues and infectious diseases.

In this era, the way to deal with the plague is very simple, it is to lock down the area where the plague appears, and then leave them to fend for themselves.

Considering what would happen to a disease in such a densely populated area, it is no wonder that a Black Death killed a third of Europe's living people.

Vera was also full of discomfort, covered her nose, and looked at Lorraine with a bitter face.

Leo thought it was quite fresh, and under curiosity, he didn't pay much attention to the dirty environment around him.

And Bai stood in front of a house, looking at the crooked house, out of the tyrannical nature of war elephants, he wanted to try to see if he could kick the house down. But I was worried that people there would come out to find it and ask for compensation.

Therefore, the heavens and men are at war in their hearts, and they hesitate on their faces.

Lorraine looked at the house in front of him, this was his destination today.

The low eaves, the cracked wooden door, the tattered black fishbone sign on the door, the handwriting on it has long been blurred.

Even if you guess, you can still understand that it is written "Fishbone Tavern".

"This is it. Lorraine greeted Vera and Leo, pushed open the wooden door of the tavern, and stepped inside.

A hot breath mixed with the smell of sweat rushed to my face.

The tavern was already full of people, dressed in tank tops and shirts, or simply shirtless, sitting around greasy tables, all kinds of foul language mixed with the unbridled laughter of the big men, and the sounds of women flirting with people could be heard in the middle.

Following the prestige, you can also see scantily clad women wearing heavy makeup and carrying a large barrel of inferior perfume for five cents walking through the tavern. The thick makeup had completely covered his face, and only a bloody mouth remained.

The moment Lorraine walked in the door, the tavern fell silent, and everyone looked at the unlucky guest who suddenly appeared in front of them.

But soon, these people should do what they should do, but from time to time their eyes glanced at Lorraine. Malicious eyes flashed.

Lorraine frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: This is indeed a good place for Tibetans. Whitebeard has made this a point of contact, which is really good.

Although on the surface they are extremely chaotic here, in fact, they are also loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Not to mention a secret agent, even if he is a living person like himself, he will be as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the night.

He only glanced at it, and there were already a few things that were wrong. The big-cheeked man sitting on the edge of the counter, although his eyes were drunk, his right hand never left the handle of the warhammer next to him.

The tall and thin man leaning on the fireplace, although he was hanging, his hands were extremely clean, and from the flash of light under his clothes, he knew that he was a master of throwing knives.

Although the dancer sitting next to her was scantily dressed, she sat like a green pine, her waist was straight, and no one next to her dared to come forward to talk......

While Lorraine was looking at them, the men also appeared at Lorraine, and kept looking back at him.

At that moment, Leo jumped out from behind him.

He looked at the lively tavern in front of him, grinned at the moment, and said with a smile: "It's so lively here."

Accustomed to the dance banquets of high society, Leo walked into the most humble tavern for the first time, and naturally felt very fresh.

Especially those shirtless and strong men, Leo was especially envious, but it was a pity that every time he did this, he showed the two carefully drawn ribbon fish on his body, Sheriff Black Cat, Astro Boy, or Crayon New, he would be caught by Catherine, and then it would be a good fight.

Later, when Vera walked in the door, there was a burst of amazement and commotion in the tavern.

These splashed rough blanks have never seen such a beauty, and at that moment, they all widened their eyes and looked at the delicate and lovely Vera with drool.

The nasty gaze angered Vera so much that she stamped her foot slightly, thinking about whether or not to throw a fireball or something here to give them a little rest.

Lorraine glanced around the tavern with a straight face, then snorted coldly.

Looking at Lorraine's outfit, these old rivers and lakes in the tavern who begged for a living knew that this was not a rich person who should be here.

Many of them were outlaws, but they weren't fools looking for trouble casually - the kind of people who didn't have long eyes were long dead.

These people have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they know that they can't afford to mess with a rich boy from the city, although they don't know why people like Lorraine are here, many people still avoid the gaze with interest.

A plump woman wearing an apron walked quickly to Lorraine and them at this time, and said with a smile: "Yo, it is rare for a few distinguished guests to come to the door, this young master, please come and take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lorraine's arm, and then half of them leaned on Lorraine's body, and their chests kept rubbing against Lorraine's arm, pulling Lorraine towards the tavern.

A few women not far away shouted dissatisfiedly: "I was preempted by this again." ”

Bai was following behind at this moment, just poking his head out.

It walked towards the tavern, but suddenly stopped, shook its head and looked left and right, and now it was actually stuck in the tavern door

Seeing that Lorraine and Leo were walking inside, Uncle Bai was in a hurry, arched his body hard, clicked, and the old dry and cracked threshold was deformed and broken from the middle, Bai snorted, and then shook the debris on his body, and then rumbled and caught up with Lorraine and Leo.

Hearing such a big movement, Lorraine turned his head to look at the doorway where a large piece was missing, slapped his forehead and sighed helplessly.

Both of these guys are dog skin plasters level 1. I didn't want them to follow, but I was afraid that they would be too unintentional and would reveal their identities. I had to acquiesce.

Leo patted Bai's head and said, "Bai, look, I said a long time ago that you should lose weight, and you still eat so much every day, so it's okay now." ”

Bai innocently looked at Leo, which seemed to mean "it's not my fault again".

"My door" a terrible wail sounded, and then a large black shadow rushed towards Lorraine, no less powerful than the running white.

It wasn't until he came to him that Lorraine saw that it was a fat man with a round body.

He ran up, and the fat on his body trembled, and his legs were no thinner than the white legs, and he was covered with a dirty black garment.

He rushed past Lorraine and them with a demonic wind, then hugged the door frame that had been smashed open by Shiro, and howled loudly.

"My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, child, I'm not filial, I can't keep our family heirloom, I'm sorry for you, our family's eight-generation treasure is ruined like this......"

The howling sound was like killing a pig, and the eardrums of the people who shook hurt hurt.

Vera and Leo looked at the fat man in amazement, and even Shiro was startled, looking at the howling fat man inexplicably.

Lorraine looked at this familiar scene, and couldn't help but miss it very much at the moment, and couldn't help but laugh softly,

The fat man howled for a long time, but he couldn't see anyone coming over to say a word, and Lorraine and they just watched him like this.

It was very strenuous to howl so loudly, and soon the fat man's throat was dry.

He rolled his eyes, jumped up on the ground, walked up to Lorraine, and said viciously: "Son, your pet has broken my family heirloom, how do you say to compensate me." ”

Lorraine tilted his head to look at the fat man in front of him and said, "Family heirloom?"

"Yes, this is the door. The fat man spitted Xingzi in his mouth and said loudly: "This door of my house is a three-hundred-year-old thing, and it is my Zeng Zeng Zeng...... My grandfather made it all his life, and used the yellow rosewood, which was the most famous carpenter at that time, and it took three years just to carve the flowers on the door frame, and now it is ...... Now you're ......."

Lorraine sneered and said, "At first glance, you don't know the goods." ”

"What?" the fat man shouted angrily.

He peeled off his clothes to reveal the thick long hair on his chest, as well as the tattoos on both sides, and then threw his clothes heavily on the ground, jumped to his feet, and shouted: "Dare to say that I don't know the goods, the whole tavern, no, the whole block can prove to me that this wooden door of my Yur's house is ancestral."

The people in the tavern shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, we prove that this is an antique. ”

"It's a full 300 years of history. ”

"It was the high priest who gave the light. ”

"If you break it, you have to pay for it, so you can't be unreasonable. ”

"That's it, it's ......"

Hearing that there was support, the fat man was immediately bold. With his head held high, he looked at Lorraine with dignity.

Seeing this, Leo slapped his palms and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be touching porcelain." , finally let me run into it."

He turned around and climbed onto the table next to him, then looked condescendingly and happily. I want to learn some excellent experience from middle school, so that my grandfather can digest and absorb it, consolidate and improve.

Lorraine smiled: "Say you don't know the goods, you really don't know the goods, that is the yellow rosewood? That is obviously rosewood, much more valuable than the yellow rosewood." ”

"Huh?" the fat man was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and said, "Rosewood......?" Yes, yes, it's red sandalwood, red sandalwood. That's right, it's red sandalwood."

This dead fat man used to extort a lot, and he was used to seeing others bargaining and paying back the money on the spot. This suddenly met a person who was willing to give more money, and it was also extremely uncomfortable. I can't stop beating drums in my heart.

But then he looked at the hooligans and ruffians around him, all of them raised their eyebrows, intending to blackmail this white face. I can't help but be bold at the moment.

He slapped the table and shouted loudly with spittle: "Son, tell me the truth, if you don't take fifty gold coins out, you don't want to get out of my door today, uncle has to unload one of your legs."

Lorraine was not angry, but rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Fifty gold coins? It's too little, isn't it? This door must be worth three or five hundred gold coins." ”

The fat man was stunned, and said with a dull expression: "Three or five hundred...... Gold ......"

Lorraine looked at his expression and couldn't help but wonder: "What, too little?"

The fat man's face lit up, and he said in a loud voice: "A lot, a lot." Get the money. For the sake of your honest acquaintance, I'll give you another discount. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fat palm to Lorraine. I'm afraid to take a step slower, this white face understands and doesn't give money.

Lorraine looked down at his black oily hand, and said lightly: "Okay, then I'll write you a note, you go to the City Guard's Mansion to find Fiona to get money." ”

"City ...... Castle Guard. The fat man's eyes were bigger than a cow, his face changed with a brush, and he stammered.

The waitress next to her leaned into the fat man's ear at this time and whispered: "You dead fat man, I didn't see the old lady and I gave you a look for a long time, they came by the car of the city guard, otherwise the old lady is willing to sacrifice the hue?"

The lard has blinded you, and you will die."

The fat man's frightened face turned bloody.

Seeing Lorraine looking at himself with a smile, the fat man suddenly became clever, his eyes rolled, and then the big oily face twitched a few times, and forced out a smile.

He bent down deeply, and then said with a smile, "My lord, my lord." I was just kidding.

Although this door is an antique, it is comparable to your distinguished guest.

Don't say it, from the moment you entered the door, I felt that my century-old shop suddenly lit up, please sit down, please sit down, Muna, Muna, are you a dead girl lazy again? Quick, go and get the bottle that I have treasured for sixty years.

And you, you splashing ruffians, what do you see? Don't give way to the adults yet. ”

Lorraine said: "What about this door?"

The fat man waved his hand and said, "What's the door, hey, hey, didn't hurt this cute elephant of yours." ”

The fat man reached out to touch Bai, but Bai looked at his big black and oily hands, took half a step back, and raised his big teeth at him.

The fat man withdrew his hand, looked at Lorraine with a sneer, bowed again and again, and said, "Please, please." ”

Lorraine smiled and said, "Sir, I'm not an unreasonable person, so I can be regarded as compensating you." ”

Lorraine popped out a gold coin, tumbled into the air, and landed in the fat man's hand.

Seeing that there was a yellow gold coin in his hand, the fat man bent lower, smiled even brighter, and said loudly: "Mna, where is the death, why don't you clean up the table quickly, and go and bring the tablecloth I saved when I got married." ”

The golden light of the yellow and clear also stung the eyes of the others.

Although everyone was a little greedy, they had all heard Lorraine call himself a lord.

The nobles with titles can't afford to be provoked by them, and most people can only covet the good fortune of the fat people.

At this moment, a pale drinker staggered to his feet. At first glance, you can tell that it is high.

He snorted wine in his mouth, and the two floated, staggering towards the door.

When the drinker passed by Lorraine's side, his feet were crooked, and he rubbed against Leo, snorting fishy wine and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

As he spoke, he struggled to stand up, staggering and trying to walk out.

Leo's face changed for a moment, and then he reached out, grabbed his wrist, and then punched the man in the stomach.

The man immediately screamed and bent down in pain.

Leo didn't slack off, and slapped him in the face with a big backhand.

The drinker covered his face and said loudly, "Why are you beating people?"

Leo shouted angrily: "Son, touch Uncle Ben's wallet, you are still a little tender"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a thin rope around his waist, and pulled hard, and suddenly saw a wallet fall out of the booster's arms, and several money bags fell out of it.

At this time, the crowd and others screamed one after another.

"My wallet. ”

"My wallet is gone, too"

“......”

Leo ignored them, but put away his wallet, then lifted his leg and kicked the drinker's ass, shouting angrily, "Get out"

The drinker was immediately kicked and staggered a few steps, and then took advantage of the situation and ran away as fast as he could.

At this time, the guests who lost their wallets also scolded angrily and chased out.

When the fat man saw it, he immediately chased him out, and shouted loudly: "Bastard, you haven't given the money yet, you haven't given the money yet."

But apparently he was not as fast as the others, and at last he had to turn back with a sad face. scolded angrily: "These bastards, every time they use excuses to escape the order, they also say that my wine is not good, and I will definitely mix urine in their wine next time"

Lorraine couldn't help but frown.

He looked at the people in Lorraine and immediately realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "People are just angry, but just talk about it, my lord, don't be weird, don't be weird, haha, hahaha......"

He led the Lorraine to the table, picked up the bottle, and was about to pour it.

Lorraine waved his hand and smiled: "Excuse me." Don't take out your water-mixed stuff and embarrass it, I'm here to find someone, is One-Eyed Duke here? ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment and said, "Yo, this, I really haven't heard of this guy." ”

"Oh?" Lorraine looked up at the fat man, and saw that he still had a simple smile on his face, but his eyes rolled, Lorraine shook his head with a smile, took out another gold coin and still put it on the table, and said: "Sue him, it was the theater manager who asked me to come, and I have a big deal to talk to him." ”

The fat man's eyes immediately flashed a hint of fierceness, and then he muttered in a low voice: "That old dog." ”

He hesitated slightly, and then said, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. ”

After saying that, the fat man walked quickly to the back door and disappeared into the black doorway.

Leo rolled his eyes, picked up the bottle on the table, poured himself a glass, then took a sip and tasted it, and then squirted out with a "poof".

"Phew. Leo spat twice and said angrily: "This is also called wine, which is similar to cat urine." ”

Lorraine shrugged and said, "Otherwise, you think, if you look at them, they are still very envious of the bottle of wine in your hand." ”

Leo glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw many people looking at the half bottle of bad wine on the table with greed.

"Phew, the common people have lived this kind of life, and those guys from the demon clan still want to invade us, they have a brain disease. Leo said hatefully.

Lorraine smiled and said: "That's why they envy us for having good things, but they don't want to do it themselves, the easiest way is, of course, to grab it." ”

The two chatted a few more words.

At this time, a figure appeared in the doorway, and Lorraine felt that he was looking towards him, and when Lorraine raised his head, the figure had already flashed.

Then the owner of the tavern came out and whispered in Lorraine's ear, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

Lorraine and the others followed the fat man through the back door, and after Lorraine and them, several people in the tavern glanced at each other and stood up and followed Lorraine and them.

After passing through a messy courtyard, the fat man pushed open a door and said, "Please come in." ”

When Lorraine and the others entered the house, they saw a big man in a turban sitting in the middle, looking at them coldly.

As the name suggests, there is a deep scar on the right side of the man's face, which has been slashed through the eye, and the eye socket has sunk deeply, leaving only a chilling deep hole.

With the rest of his eyes, Dahan carefully looked Lorraine up and down for a while before he spoke, "I heard that you are looking for me." ”

Lorraine also looked at him carefully, and then said, "You are Duke?"

Dahan nodded.

Lorraine pulled out a chair and sat across from him, and said, "I heard you know Whitebeard?"

Duke squinted at Lorraine for a moment before nodding slowly.

"I want to talk to him about a deal. Lorraine hesitated, then finally said.
