Chapter 1029: Taking shelter from the limelight
The Sabaody Archipelago is a place where all kinds of people gather, with spies from various forces. If there is any slight disturbance, they can get the news in advance.
Death surgeon Law, as the user of the priceless fruit ability, followed the Whitebeard Pirates member Flower Sword Vista, and the two appeared together in Shaoqi's extortion bar.
Pluto Rayleigh's woman never refuses any customer who comes to buy intelligence. She is willing to take any risk as long as the money is enough.
After Law and Vista spent half a day in Shaoqi's extortion BAR, this information appeared on the desks of major forces. They were eager to figure out what the Whitebeard Pirates wanted to get!
Not long after Xia Qi sent away the two dangerous elements, she met an old acquaintance from the navy in the afternoon. Admiral Kizaru, who originally wanted to slack off and get a salary, was sent to collect intelligence near the end of the get off work day.
Borsalino was quite resentful about this because he had been performing poorly recently and had not paid much attention to the construction of the navy, which led to him being criticized by the naval marshal at many meetings.
It's not Marshal Zhan Guo's fault for being too harsh on General Huang. It's just that the slacker was too harsh on General Huang, and he didn't even bother to pretend.
Admiral Kizaru stays in the office all day long and never leaves the office except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Unless there is an emergency meeting, few navy officers can see him.
Compared with several other naval admirals, who have begun to go to the grassroots level to actively prepare for war, facing the upcoming major battle, the other naval admirals are not very relaxed.
"Why do you want information without paying? Does Marshal Zhan Guo want to get it for free?"
Xia Qi stood at the bar with her hands on her hips, looking very righteous. Business is business and personal relationships are personal relationships. The navy cannot break the rules. How can they do that without money?
Borsalino looked at Rayleigh's woman speechlessly. Xia Qi, the former ruler of the Kingdom of Women, had extracted a lot of naval intelligence from him.
If it were any other navy, they would definitely be punished by military law if they privately sold intelligence to intelligence dealers. There would be no room for leniency. This would be a betrayal of the navy! It would be against justice!
Borsalino is strong enough to ignore the rules that bind ordinary navies. He can get by in the navy, but the navy is not bad enough and he still has some moral principles (but not much).
If the navy does too much bullshit, Borsalino can choose to be a free man. He has had this idea for a long time.
In other words, the World Government did not touch Admiral Kizaru's sore spot, otherwise, due to his bad temper, he would definitely quit at the critical moment, and might even make things worse and help the enemies of the Navy.
"Xia Qi, please don't be so heartless. The navy can't spend money to buy intelligence and ask me, a naval admiral, to pay for it myself," Borsalino covered his purse. When did he have to spend his own money to do government work?
The appearance of a navy man in the store really affects the business. Xia Qi doesn't want to offend the navy high-ranking officials too much, otherwise the next admiral who comes to the store will not be as easy to talk to as Admiral Kizaru.
The two people came to the private intelligence room one after another. Xia Qi handed the intelligence file to Admiral Kizaru and said, "Don't worry, I didn't sell out the navy's intelligence. Luo's mind is not on the navy."
Borsalino began to flip through the intelligence documents page by page, which described in detail the conversation between Xia Qi, Luo and Bista.
Law, a sentimental pirate, was originally alone and only cared about revenge. Tianmu revealed to him the information about his sister Lamy, which made the pirate change the trajectory of his life and choose to temporarily put aside his hatred.
"In this grand auction, there is actually an item called the Silver Girl. This really isn't trouble enough," Borsalino frowned as he finished reading the intelligence document.
Luo went to Xia Qi to confirm whether there would be an item called "Silver Girl" at the auction, and the woman named Rayleigh answered that there was such an item.
Through the intelligence network that she had been operating in the Sabaody Archipelago for many years, Xia Qi contacted the human resources manager of the Pandora Auction House. The other party was indeed on the bidding list, and there was indeed an item called the Silver Girl.
This matter will be announced in a few days, and the approximate list of auction items will be leaked a little bit every day according to the will of the organizer to whet the appetite of potential customers and heat up the atmosphere of the auction in advance.
"Don't you navy send people to protect the auction?" Xia Qi supported her face with her arm and looked at Admiral Kizaru with a playful look, trying to analyze valuable information from his face.
Borsalino could only shrug helplessly, saying that this was a naval secret and he could not disclose it. He did not dare to sell the information at this critical juncture as he did not want to cause trouble for himself.
With Altria's active advancement within the navy, the role of the admirals has become increasingly prominent. Now the navy already has five admirals, and their names have been announced in newspapers for external publicity.
From three to five, the strength of the navy can be said to have increased dramatically, and the voice of the navy admirals has been slightly diluted.
"I've taken the intelligence document and will return it to you after a while," Admiral Kizaru didn't intend to waste any more words. He wanted to get off work on time and didn't want to work overtime because of extra tasks.
Borsalino turned into a yellow light and came and went in a hurry. Xia Qi arranged for the guests to continue chatting in the store and not let their emotions be affected by the arrival of the navy.
The twin sisters worked hard at Shaoqi's extortion bar. The boss lady saw it and took it to heart, so she decided to give them a short vacation.
Before the opening of the big auction, Shaoqi's Rip-off BAR decided to temporarily close the store. This was a decision made after careful consideration by Rayleigh.
Xia Qi's man felt that the situation in the Sabaody Archipelago was very complicated at the moment, and even Pluto Rayleigh could not see through many things. In order to avoid being involved in matters that had nothing to do with him, it would be better for the whole family to go on a trip and hide away for a while.
Today is the last day of business for Shaoqi's rip-off BAR. Ram and Rem began to clean up the tables, wash the stained cups, sweep and mop the floor in the evening in preparation for closing the store.
Xia Qi, Rayleigh, and Yasuo appeared in front of the two sisters at the same time. The boss and his wife had already found a boat and chose to go to a small island in the first half of the Grand Line to avoid the limelight.
After the war between the navy and the pirates is over, the couple will find time to come back and reopen Shaoqi's extortion BAR.
Now the question is whether the twin sisters should stay or leave. Should they stay to look after the store, or go out to sea with the boss and his wife to avoid the limelight, or take the third path and follow Yasuo.
The two sisters, Ram and Rem, looked at each other with tacit understanding and quickly gave an answer that surprised the boss and his wife, "We are willing to follow Mr. Yasuo!"
Xia Qi looked Yasuo up and down in disbelief. She didn't expect that this old man would be liked by two young girls. They must have a lot of private contact.
The boss and his wife respect their employees' choices and tell Yasuo to take good care of the store and not drink up all the wine in the wine cellar. Yasuo can drink more than Reilly and is an old alcoholic.
Yasuo is going to take the two sisters to meet a pirate, which is related to where Ram and Rem will settle down in their next life.
