Chapter 91

There were ten people in the bar and one fishman, one of them was naturally Shakki, but the other nine were strangers. Although for me they are not completely strangers, but still ... Although I'm not sure if four of them can be called human. Cyborg, skeleton, deer and fish-man with six arms, good company ...

The rest seemed to look more or less like people, there was even one girl.

In general, about each in order:

Tony Tony Chopper, a small deer, wearing a pale pink top hat with a white cross. He had a blue backpack on his back, and he looked like a child. It's even surprising that such a little one is able to grow into a huge deer using these ... Rumbleballs or whatever ... His zoan is quite unique. Still, the human-human fruit is really strange, what would happen if it was eaten by a human, and not a deer?

Next was Brooke, of course, the tallest of those present, and also probably the deadliest. He wore a classic black suit, top hat and cane. Also, as in the canon, he was the same walking pile of bones, creepy, but even funny. Its fruit is truly one of the rarest in the world. Although the fruit is usually in a single copy, its fruit has a unique strength, it is not some ordinary paramecia or logia. His fruit has access to unique powers like the Law fruit or Big Mom. Such fruits are definitely much more valuable than others.

Frankie was a tall, wide guy with blue hair. His body was slightly disproportionate, probably due to the many modifications above it. He was dressed in swimming trunks and a Hawaiian shirt, and wore black glasses on his forehead.

Of course Usopp was here, so where can I go without him? Long straight nose, curly black hair, dark skin and lean body. The way I imagined it.

The next one was a fish-man, apparently it was him ... Yes, even from his amazed look it is clear that he recognized me. Hatchan, the octopus fishman, was just as I remember him. Six arms, white hair, and the sun pirate brand on the forehead. After our last meeting, it's no surprise that he had such a frightened look.

The rest of Luffy's crew were also remarkable, one fat man with a large samurai sword, a girl with purple hair and strange glasses, a dark-skinned man about Frankie's height and the last one was, a strange guy with glasses and a book.

Not a bad team, the guy was still able to collect new nakama, well done ...

When I entered, everyone looked at me, someone had a surprised look, someone like Shakki just smiled, and someone like a fishman had a tense look. One Luffy looked at me a little oddly. He narrowed his eyes and muttered:

- I saw him somewhere ...

- Pha! Luffy, did you bump your head ?! This is ... This is ... the Sea Devil!

When my name was spoken, the views of all Liffey's teams changed and they became serious.

I chuckled and waved my hand:

- Don't worry, I'm just walking here.

At that moment, a girl in strange red glasses ran up to me and quickly rattled:

- Sea Devil! Is it ... Is it really you?

She was about two heads smaller than me, so I looked down and said:

- It seems like me, and who are you?

The girl blushed, and then puffed out her chest and seemed to salute:

- I'm San Lian! Grand Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates!

The couple of guys next to Luffy sighed and shook their heads.

I grunted and held out my hand to her with the words:

- Then it's nice to meet Leanne, I'm James D. More, you can just call me More.

The girl reached out her trembling hand and shook mine, then she looked at her hand and smiled strangely. For some reason, I got goosebumps from her gaze, so I decided to quickly leave her.

I sat down at the bar and said:

"Shakki-san, can I have some rum and my uh ..." When I didn't find North, I turned my gaze to the door. This damn pirate is sleeping right in the aisle ...

I sighed:

- Perhaps only for me, he no longer pour.

At that moment, a loud voice sounded throughout the bar:

- I remembered! You're the guy with two billion!

I drank some rum and said:

- Yes, did Ace tell you about me?

Luffy asked in surprise:

- Do you know Ace?

`` A little ... '' I glanced over at Luffy's crew and said:

- You have a good team, it will be difficult for you.

- Eh? Like this? - The boy did not understand.

I chuckled:

- You will soon find out ... Sabaody is not an easy place, be careful.

I finished my rum and stood up with the words:

"Thank you Shakki-san, has Rayleigh-san come yet?"

Shakki was surprised and asked:

"So he's finished with your deal already?"

I nodded.

- We parted when I moored on the archipelago, I thought he was already here ...

Sakki chuckled.

It is clear, for sure he is playing somewhere ...

- Well, now there is something to play on ... - I held out with a smile.

Immediately after that, I headed for the exit, took North by the greaves and dragged him out of the bar. I would sit still, but since Luffy and the others are here, I'll stay away for now. Apparently, my presence makes them a little annoying, so I'll give them time.

I think it's worth taking a walk, maybe the Supernovae are already on the island, I would like to meet some of them ...

***

As soon as the Sea Devil left the Shakki Rip, Hatchan exhaled and sat down on the sofa.

- Damn, it's definitely him, the face is the same as then, but everything else ...

- Do you know him? - The fat man from Luffy's team was surprised.

The octopus man nodded.

- Yes, once upon a time this man killed my captain ...

While Hatchan told his story, Luffy sat quietly and thought about something, usually this rarely happens, so it was strange.

A black guy, one of Luffy's nakamas named Folk, said:

"This ... Sea Devil, he said he was with Rayleigh, so can we find him?"

Shakki nodded.

- Now it looks like yes, since he is on the island, then this is not a problem, look in a casino or somewhere else and you may be lucky.

At that moment, Luffy stood up and said gloomily:

- This guy ... How strong is he?

Shakkki looked at Luffy and then grinned and said,

- Very strong, especially after these six months, I can't even imagine how much his strength has grown.

It was rare to see the Straw Hats Luffy look so brooding, especially after Shakki's words.

Usopp tried to get him to talk, but he just remained silent ... The others discussed where to go and separated.

As soon as everyone chose the route, they quickly dispersed in search of the master of the resin coating.
