Chapter 58

I arrived at Sabaody pretty quickly and the first thing I did was buy a black cloak to hide completely. Now I needed to find the ship of the pirates who are going to the New World, and I would not want anyone to notice me.

For information, I went to the only sensible place, to the pub, or rather to the Shakki Rip.

I went inside and looked around, it was quite crowded, but this is not surprising, because it was already late evening, and at that time it is always like this in any bar or tavern.

I walked over to Shakki and said:

- Hello Shakki-san, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

She frowned and looked at me, then said in surprise:

- Wow, it's you, I didn't expect to see you. - Then she added in a half-whisper: - I heard that a whole Admiral was sent for you, how did you get out?

I grinned and said:

- Rayleigh-san helped, well, and someone else.

- I see, it looks like you are not so easy to catch. Shakki chuckled, then asked, "So why are you here?"

- Looking for someone, do you happen to know anyone who is going to the New World any time soon?

Shakki thought about it and then said:

- Turn around. - I turned around and she said: - You see those three by the window? I nodded.

"The one in the middle was looking for Rayleigh today to coat the ship with tar, but I clearly told him that he was not on the island. So he left with nothing, but there are a couple of resin coating masters on Sabaody, so he won't stay here for long. Shakki explained.

I nodded and stood up saying:

"Thank you for your help, Shakki-san.

She just smiled and nodded, and I went to that type of table. It was an ordinary-looking man in a black tuxedo and a hat. Next to him were two more of the same guys.

I went up to them and sat down opposite.

- Who are you? - asked one of them.

I smiled and said calmly:

- Sea Devil.

Immediately after that, all three tensed and the one in the middle spoke:

- So it's you, I've heard a lot about you. I did not expect that you were still on the island ... Someone even said that you died, but it looks like this is nonsense ...

"I'm not so easy to kill. - I said chuckling, then continued: - But I really hope that you will not flutter your tongue once again, we can help each other.

The man in the middle was surprised and asked:

- Help? How can I help the Sea Devil?

- It's simple, I need to get to the New World and preferably without stopping, and as quickly as possible, and in return I can safely escort you. - I explained.

- Accompany? And where did you get the idea that we need yours ...

* Bam * - The guy on the right did not have time to finish, his head exploded like a watermelon. Blood and brains flew in all directions. The other two were splattered from head to toe, and the entire pub fell into silence.

I smiled calmly and said:

- You forget, this is not an offer - this is an order. Will you take me to the other side or will you die, I make it clear?

Two of them trembled and the one in the middle nodded and began to speak:

- W-we, we p-got it, sir, we will do everything.

- That's great ... - I held out, then asked: - When will the oil coating be ready?

- Z-tomorrow, we were told that everything will be ready tomorrow. - he rattled.

I nodded and stood up:

- Excellent, as you finish, I will wait for you next to the thirteenth grove, - And he looked at them piercingly and said coldly: - And just try to throw something out, even the Admiral will not save you.

They shivered and nodded.

Immediately after that, he approached Shakki and put a wad of money with the words:

- Sorry for the mess.

At my words, she just chuckled and took Belli. Then I walked calmly out of the pub under a multitude of gazes.

Well, the ship is ready. These bastards of course can tell the watch about me, but I have already checked the island for the presence of strong people. There was a maximum rear admiral no more. Yes, and Kuma's messenger informed me that the Admiral had left the island, but it is still worthwhile to play it safe and look after these types.

The next day came imperceptibly, and my fellow travelers did not seem to be going to hand me over to the patrol. Well, or I just didn't notice it. Although, I think they decided to deal with me themselves without the sentinels.

Yesterday I found out that those three in the pub were just regular sixes, and at first I thought that the guy in the middle was their captain. It seemed strange to me from the very beginning, a guy with such powers simply could not sail to the New World. Therefore, I decided to clarify some details and collect more information. It turned out that they were slavers, and their main business was to bring "goods" to Sabaody from Fish-Man Island. Their captain had the opportunity to sail to those places, because his reward was quite big, as much as 254 million. For the New World, this was of course nonsense, but he did not swim there much, his main activity was Fish-Man Island.

So it seems to me that their captain just decided to deal with me personally. Heh, that's his right, a warm-up just wouldn't hurt me.

Their ship lowered its sails near the thirteenth grove. I scanned the ship with a will of observation and grinned. Their captain sat quietly in his cabin, probably decided to surprise me with his appearance. Well, I won't bother him ...

I slowly descended on their ship and said:

- Something you take a long time, I thought you decided to run away.

That guy in a tuxedo from the pub came in my direction, but now he was quite relaxed and said with a calm smile:

- What are you sir, we promised to come for you, how could we escape?

- What honest guys. - I chuckled, and continued: - Okay, set the sails, I have no time to chill, we go to the New World.

But suddenly there was a rough laugh:

- Uha-ha-ha-ha, and you are brave, giving orders on my ship, are you tired of living ?!

From the captain's cabin came a huge, pumped man, three meters tall, bald and with gold teeth.

As soon as he left, I was surrounded by his whole gang, and each of them had a malicious grin on their faces. Especially those two types in tuxedos.

I just smiled at this and said:

- I really thought you wouldn't come out and hide in the corner of your kennel, but it looks like you're even dumber than they say.

- What did you say sucker ?! Do you think once you could kill some weakling, now you are invincible ?! - The big man growled.

I chuckled:

"Are you going to yell like that?" Maybe you're already attacking? It's time for me to sail away, so either get off my ship or attack and die.

- Ha, you yourself asked for it, now you are a corpse! - Shouted the big man, and then the unexpected happened ...
