Heist

After half an hour of walking towards the town centre, Koujiro found an inn on the border of the slum area and the town centre, entering the inn, he noticed the inn was full of mercenaries like men with at least a weapon or two hanging on their waist.

Walking straight to the bar while all the eyes were looking at him because he's not a familiar face, he took a seat on the barstool and waved his hand to the burly male bartender.

"What do you want?"

The bartender approached and asked him while cleaning a mug.

"Give me a bottle of your best booze and do you have any vacant rooms?"

"We have a room, five hundred berries per day without food, the drink is one thousand five hundred berries."

The bartender replied, gave him a bottle of whiskey and put a key for the room on the bar.

Shoving his hand into his pocket and taking a few thousand berries from his inventory, he paid for the drink and five hundred berries for the room.

A few minutes and a half bottle later, while Koujiro was talking with the bartender, mostly asking information about the kingdom, a group of men entered the tavern.

°Your 'Head Chop Chop' is nearby, it's in the building's vicinity.°

The helper warned Koujiro about his sword.

"Did one of the men just enter carrying a black straight sword with no handguard?"

He asked the bartender and the bartender just nodded at him.

"Well, that's made the job easier, sorry about this, I'll pay for it later."

Koujiro apologized to the bartender, earning him a raised eyebrow from the bartender. Koujiro got off from the bar, bringing a barstool along with him towards the group of men that had just arrived.

Spotting the man carrying his sword, he approached him and smashed the man's head with the barstool, sending the man flying out of the inn.

Before the others could react, Koujiro was already outside the inn pummeling the man. Surprised by what just happened, the rest of the group and some men from the tavern head outside and found a man already beaten half-dead lying on the ground with blood all over his face while the other man was picking up a sword from the ground with blood dripping from his hands.

"Heeey! Who the fuck are yo...AAAAHHH!!!"

One of the man's friends who just got beat up approached Koujiro and threw a punch, but before the punch could land, he screamed on top of his lungs because his hand just got cut off by Koujiro.

Right before the man could run towards his friends, Koujiro cut his head off then also cut the man's head who was carrying his sword.

"Heh, thanks for bringing my sword to me."

Koujiro said after cutting his head and sheathed his sword simultaneously storing the sword into the inventory then cleaned it using one of the inventory's convenient features in a split second making the sword flickered in his hands.

The rest of the group panicked after what happened and scattered running for their life. Walking back into the inn, some men got scared by him while others who were just sitting on their seats calmly looking at his sword because the sword is really sharp thinking maybe it's one of the Meito.

"Sorry about that, my swords got stolen when I was passed out drunk earlier, let me know if you heard about my other sword, it looks the same as this, just shorter."

Koujiro said while taking a seat again on the bar and gave the bartender some money to pay for the broken barstool and door then drank his half bottle of whiskey.

'This man is crazy.'

The bartender thought and took the money without saying anything back then told his employees to throw away the bodies.

Walking upstairs towards his room after finishing his drink, he noticed some pair of eyes were eyeing his sword, paying them no mind he just headed straight to his room then slept right away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking downstairs after a good night's sleep, he headed straight towards the bar area while sipping a bottle of sake, taking a seat on one of the barstools, Koujiro hollered at the bartender.

"Yo, got any food?"

Asked Koujiro then sipped more sake, earning a raised eyebrow from the bartender noticing a bottle of liquor that did not come from his bar.

"Umm, you can't bring food or drinks from outside sir."

The bartender hesitated to warn Koujiro after what he did yesterday.

"Relax, here take a sip, it's really good."

Koujiro ignored the warning, instead, he offered the drink to the bartender. The bartender got curious and approached Koujiro bringing a small shot glass with him.

Pouring some of the sake in just one-third of the small glass, he sipped just a little bit to taste it first. After tasting the strange sake, the bartender's eyes immediately opened wide, surprised by the taste.

"Woah, what kind of sake is this sir? It's really good."

The bartender can't believe what he just tasted, he already tried every kind of drink from around the world when he was a pirate but never tasted a drink as good as this.

"I know right, how about this, I will give you another bottle, all I want is, I want to know everything, about this kingdom and the area around it, and depending on the information you gave me, I might add extra bottles. I can tell that you were a pirate from a glance alone, so tell me everything you know, and also give me your best food."

"Wait, we should talk on the back, I will tell you everything I know, some might change your mind about the extra bottles into a whole crate."

The bartender gladly accepted while guiding Koujiro into the staff room and told his cook to make some food.

Taking a seat on one of the sofas, Koujiro plopped down and spread his legs and arms entering the Yakuza mode he usually used to make himself intimidating in negotiations.

"Let me hear this information of yours that is worth a crate of this sake."

Koujiro said while putting down his bottle of sake on the table.

"I heard rumours about a Celestial Dragon that will visit the Goa Kingdom around one or two months from now."

"Is that it? I don't give a fuck about some dogs playing god, that's not even worth half bottle, you better have something good or you will lose your head wasting my time."

Koujiro said already knew the important things about the One Piece world he learned last night and some of his powers from The Helper.

"Wait...wait...wait, that's not all, I heard this information from a pirate, he said that all the nobles from the high town and the royalty will be welcoming the Celestial Dragon at the city ports, they will also bring a lot of guards with them, leaving only a few guarding the palace and high town."

"I get where your information is going, so this pirate, you know him?"

"I never see his bounty poster, he's probably a new pirate. He's quite young, he always brings this long rifle everywhere, he also usually visits the inn around noon. I heard that he's recruiting for a heist in the high town. Initially, he was going to rob the royal palace, but no one wanted to join him, then he changed his target to just robbing some of the mansion in the high town."

"Why the fuck are these dogs afraid of robbing the royal palace while all the guards are at the ports? What a bunch of pussies."

"Whatever, if the pirate you said comes to the inn, tell him that I want to talk to him. I'm going to look for my other sword first, after some breakfast that is, where the fuck are my foods?"

Koujiro chugged his sake then pulled out a crate for the bartender while grinning at him, clearly surprised to see the crate appeared out of nowhere.
