The group walked forward and finally arrived at Xia Qi's Rip-off Bar at No. 13 Red Tree.

"This store has clear prices and is fair to everyone! Those who are unwilling to pay the bill are not 'customers'!"

Before everyone entered the door, they heard the sound of fighting inside, but it quickly calmed down.

Kami pushed the door open and greeted Xia Qi:

"Sister Xia Qi! I brought a few guests looking for Uncle Rayleigh... Eh?!"

In the tavern, there were strong men who looked like pirates lying on the ground, their faces covered with blood, and they were wailing.

At the bar, a woman was holding a cigarette, crossing her legs leisurely as if nothing had happened.

The woman had a short black hair, a tight navel-baring jacket, and a red short-sleeved shirt with a spider pattern on the chest. The pants were spotted trousers with black squares divided by yellow stripes, plus pink high heels. The temperament and aura are even more compelling.

"Welcome... Oh! It's Cammy! Wait a minute, I'm blackmailing the diners who don't understand [reason]."

Xia Qi said indifferently.

"Uh..." Cammy shrank her neck.

Luffy silently pondered the relevant information of the woman in front of him-

Xia Qi, the origin of this name is peony.

In the world of One Piece, this is also a woman with a very mysterious identity. The subsequent comics of the original work mentioned that she seemed to be a former emperor of Nine Snake Island.

Forty years or even earlier, she was hunted by Luffy's grandfather Monkey D. Garp. After retiring about forty years ago, she ran her own bar on the Sabaody Archipelago and lived with [Pluto] Rayleigh, but the two were not husband and wife.

"Asshole! Damn woman..."

A pirate man cursed viciously.

"Shut up! Didn't you see the guests coming? After being out at sea for so long, didn't anyone teach you how to judge the situation?"

Xia Qi knocked the still sober pirate unconscious with a seemingly light slap, and then threw them out of the tavern.

Luffy and Brook acted as if they didn't see anything happening, and they took out the drinks and started drinking.

Chopper was a little shocked:

"Aren't you afraid that this... Sister Xia Qi will also blackmail you!"

Xia Qi picked up the cigarette and laughed:

"What an interesting reindeer. Don't worry, since it's a guest brought by that girl Kemi, I won't [kill] it! Here, please have some marshmallows!"

After saying that, Xia Qi took out a pink marshmallow like a magic trick, and Chopper's eyes suddenly became starry:

"What a good person!"

Just as Chopper started eating, Xia Qi suddenly said:

"Take a bite and get 100,000 Baileys!"

Chopper couldn't hold it anymore:

"What! It's so dark!"

Xia Qi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, as if teasing a reindeer was a good thing.

Nami also found a seat and sat down, pouring a glass of wine:

"Although the name of this tavern can tell that it is not normal, but... extortion is always on their lips, it seems that this place is really 'simple and honest'!"

Robin expressed his understanding:

"After all, there are all kinds of people here, and it is not surprising to encounter anything. If you are not strong, you will be ripped off."

Zoro leaned his sword box aside and sat down:

"Besides, it is said that the vice captain of the Pirate King [Pluto] Rayleigh is also in this store? With such a hidden strongman sitting in charge, who dares to act rashly here."

Xia Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard this:

"Oh? This makes me a little curious. How did the famous and unrivaled Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Straw Hat Pirates, know that old man Rayleigh was here?"

As Xia Qi spoke, she squinted her eyes and stared at the young man in the straw hat who was drinking:

"The youngest and also What does Monkey D. Luffy, the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, want to do with Rayleigh?"

Luffy took a sip and smiled faintly:

"Sister Xia Qi, you don't have to be so wary of us. I just came to Uncle Rayleigh to coat the ship and chat by the way."

Sha Qi smoked a cigarette:

"Oh? There are so many coating craftsmen on this island. Do you have to find [Pluto] Rayleigh?"

Luffy cleared his throat:

"Sister Xia Qi, time is running out now. In order to get to the point as soon as possible, let me explain the situation next."

"I am Monkey D. Luffy. As you know, I am the grandson of [Hero Garp]. I have two brothers. One is now the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo, and the other-"

"His name is Portgas D. Ace, and he is currently the captain of the second division of the [Whitebeard Pirates]. I won't go into details about the rest. His father is-Gol D. Roger."

When I heard the name Roger, Xia Qi's expression changed:

"Gol D. Roger, your brother's identity is really not simple! So, is this the reason why you came to find Roger's former vice-captain Rayleigh?"

"Because of this relationship, do you think you want that guy to come out and help you [do something]?"

Luffy shook his head:

"No, Sister Xia Qi, I came to find [Pluto] Rayleigh, Ace's matter is only one of the reasons, but more importantly-"

Luffy took off the straw hat on his head and hugged it to his chest:

"This straw hat was passed down from Pirate King Roger to [Red Hair] Shanks, and now it has been passed down to me by Shanks."

Xia Qi stared at the scene in front of him with interest. This strong young man:

"You... want to know something?"

Luffy was silent for a moment:

"Depending on the situation, it may cause a small [change]! Who knows how many butterfly effects will be triggered by meeting with Uncle Rayleigh now and being frank?"

Xia Qi stood up and stretched, and put out the cigarette:

"Is that so... But I haven't seen that old guy Rayleigh for a long time! Straw Hat Boy Luffy, because you have indeed [inherited] this straw hat, then, can I call you Little Monkey?"

Xia Qi cleared the place and cleared out the other diners, and hung a notice outside the store that it was temporarily closed.

Luffy laughed dumbly:

"Of course! Sister Xia Qi, please do as you please."

"Oh~ Little Monkey, let me find it... I made sure to leave the contact information of that store. But I guess I can't contact him now. After all, his whereabouts are always uncertain!"

Xia Qi said to herself, and then began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

"I'm back."

A capable old man with silver hair and glasses pushed the door open. He was wearing a cape, slippers, and holding a pot of wine.

The old man's glasses flashed:

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, Monkey D. Luffy."

Luffy saw the old man's figure reflected in his eyes, and smiled knowingly:

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, Uncle Rayleigh."

The conversation between the two was a bit weird. They looked at each other, but laughed at the same time.
