You Lose Some, You Gain Some

The small bar opened in area 13 was not well-known in the Sabaody Archipelago. After all, there were more than a hundred well-known bars in the whole Sabaody Archipelago. Such a small bar naturally could not make a name for itself.

However, Vlad knew that this bar was not simple. In other words, the person who opened this bar was not simple.

Vlad gently pushed open the door of this unknown bar. Sure enough, there was no one in the bar. After all, it was a strange thing that the boss lady with an extremely bad service attitude, coupled with the cheap price and remote environment of the bar had customers.

"Arara, is there a guest coming today?"

A beautiful woman with short black hair leisurely sat behind the bar counter with a cigarette in her mouth. She looked at Vlad and Dino in surprise.

"This is something that I didn't expect."

"Wahaha!"

Vlad smiled and sat down in front of the bar counter. Looking at the woman opposite him, he was a little surprised.

This woman was called Shakky. The boss lady of this bar was also a well-known intelligence dealer. In fact, she was quite popular in this area of the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, this was not the main point. The intelligence dealer was not a big deal to Vlad. What was important was that this woman used to be a pirate, but she had already washed her hands and quit. Note, this 'morning' was really a little early. Forty years ago, this woman was no longer a pirate. You should know that she was also hunted by the hero of the Navy, Iron Fist Garp.

So, roughly speaking, this woman's age is already 60+, it's terrifying, comrades, she looks like she's in her thirties, but compared to Big Mom, we will understand what makes us different, everyone has different circumstances, it's scary, really scary.

However, this was not the reason for Vlad to come here. After all, even if she was a beautiful old lady, was she not an old lady? Vlad was not interested in this kind of dishonest person.

What truly drove Vlad to come here was another person, the lover of Shakky, one of the living legends on the sea, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Silver among Gold, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, the Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh.

This legendary pirate who was still free and unfettered was the one Vlad wanted to see this time. After all, if it was a man who was only interested in the position of the pirate king, for the partner of the pirate king, the same as the one who knew everything, he would be very interested. For no other reason, just because he was the crew of the pirate king, this alone was enough.

"This little brother,"

Shakky slightly bent down, her arm against the bar counter, her hand supporting her face, the other hand taking off the cigarette in her mouth, looking at Vlad with no fluctuation in her eyes, "What do you want to drink?"

"Haha, no need, Lady Boss,"

Vlad waved his hand and rejected him directly. "Although I've made a small fortune recently, the price of the items here is indeed a little too expensive. I can't afford it."

"Ah? That's strange,"

Shakky asked with interest, "You don't drink when you come to the bar. Sorry, I don't provide this service."

"You think too much,"

Vlad almost spat it out. This lady boss was quite humorous. "Your age is a bit beyond what I can accept."

"Crack! Crack!"

With a smile on her face, the table in Shakky's hand silently sank down. "Little brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Really? Didn't you hear me clearly?"

Vlad was an honest man and immediately repeated, "I said you are too old."

"..."

"Ka!"

At this time, a small hole appeared on the table.

"It's no longer a repeat. Well, this is a direct scolding, right?" Dino, who was sitting at the side, muttered.

"Hu --"

Shakky was actually in her sixties. It was impossible for her to be angry just because of a few words from Vlad. In the blink of an eye, she smiled and asked, "Well, little brother, what are you doing here?"

Although Shakky had been retired for decades, she still had good eyesight. She could see at a glance that this man was different from those new pirates. The most intuitive thing was that this man's spirit was far above those little ghosts.

"In fact, it's nothing. I just heard that you are selling information here, right?"

Vlad got straight to the point, his eyes burning.

"That's right,"

Shakky lit a cigarette and slowly puffed out a smoke ring. Her tone was very gentle. "Then, is little brother here to buy information?"

"That's right,"

Vlad raised a finger, revealing eight neat white teeth. "To be precise, I am looking for a man."

"A man?" Shakky raised her eyebrows gently. "What kind of man doesn't have any characteristics? Even an intelligence dealer is not omnipotent."

"You don't have to be special. You must know where this man is."

Vlad smiled. "It's only because that man's name is Silvers Rayleigh!"

"Oh? Silvers Rayleigh? The Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh?"

"How could I know the whereabouts of such a big shot? Are you kidding me?"

"Hey,"

Vlad could not help but smile. "You don't know, then -"

Vlad stood up, and so did Dino.

"Then, forget it,"

"Since you don't know, then forget it!" said Vlad.

Vlad could not help but feel a little regretful. However, since Shakky was not willing to disclose it, it did not matter. After all, he could not force this 60-year-old lady. Vlad could not do such a thing. Although it sounded very pretentious, there was no doubt that pride did not allow Vlad to do such a thing.

Forget it. Since we can't see Dark King Rayleigh today, let's forget about it. After all, since we are all men on the sea, we will meet again one day. Vlad believes this point. The sea is vast, but it is not as vast as a man's dream. Sooner or later, we will meet again.

"Hey, captain, there is a bar here!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the bar.

"Hahaha, that is really lucky!"

The young man's voice came from outside, "Let's go, little ones. Let's go have a big meal!"

Vlad turned his head with interest. It was at this time that the door of the bar was pushed open and a man walked in. A very young man looked a few years younger than Vlad.

"Oh?"

Vlad smiled. He did not expect to meet an amazing guy in this place.
