Chapter 321 The Straw Hat Pirates Arrive

Regarding these two pieces of information, Uchiha Hikaru was not surprised.

After all, these are plots that clearly happened in the original work. After she, Bulma and others came to the pirate world, although they caused many things one after another, they did not interact with juniors such as Ace and Luffy, so the plot about them must continue according to the original inertia. .

But……

Uchiha Hikaru was a little surprised by Xia Qi's ability to obtain information.

Judging from the date on the letter, Ace was arrested three days ago. The Navy has not announced the matter until now, but Xia Qi got this on the day after the incident. information.

As for Luffy and his team defeating Moria...

It was because of Moria's status as a Shichibukai that the World Government considered it a shame. For this reason, another Shichibukai, Bartholomew Big Bear, was specially dispatched to try to block the news.

Although this operation ultimately failed due to Daxiong's status as an undercover revolutionary army agent, it was indeed unusual for Xia Qi to get the news so quickly.

——Of course, according to the setting of the original work, Xia Qi had been paying attention to the Straw Hats long before their arrival, and even claimed to be their fan. It is reasonable to collect information about your idol a little harder.

This time.

Xia Qi tapped the counter with her fingertips, seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"Hey, little girl, what did you mean by 'Ace is Rayleigh's nephew'?

"I know that boy is Garp's adopted son. He went out to sea two years ago to establish the 'Spade Pirates' and ate the natural fruit, the Burnt Fruit. After he failed to challenge Whitebeard a year ago, he merged into his pirate group. Tuan...but what does this have to do with that guy Rayleigh?"

"Eh? So you don't know?"

This time it was Hikaru Uchiha's turn to be surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, it is.

Although the Navy had grasped Ace's identity early, it did not announce this information. Instead, it did not announce that it would execute "The Son of Pirate King Roger" until the execution day was approaching.

Before this, only a few people, including Whitebeard and Red Hair, knew about the relationship between Ace and Roger.

Even Blackbeard only regarded Ace as "Whitebeard's henchman with a bounty of over 100 million". Otherwise, he would most likely not have handed Ace over to the Navy so easily, but would have used it as a bargaining chip. , proposing more exchange conditions for the navy and the world government.

In this case...

It can explain a doubt, which is why Rayleigh was so close to Malevando in the original work, but did not participate in the war on the summit.

present.

Uchiha Hikaru explained the hidden meaning in a concise and concise manner.

While listening, Xia Qi gradually opened her eyes, showing an expression of surprise.

"I see……"

"Is that kid who ate the Shasha fruit actually Roger's son? The Pirate King's son was actually raised by a naval hero. Ha, this kind of thing sounds really interesting."

After a pause, Xia Qi took out the money she had just received: "Well, I won't take advantage of you. You can take back the 20,000 Baileys and treat it as my reward for buying this piece of information. ”

"That's not a big deal, it's just a small amount of money."

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand and rejected Xia Qi's proposal: "As long as you can help us introduce Mr. Rayleigh."

…

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qi agreed to help introduce Lei Li.

However, according to her, Reilly did not clearly state his itinerary every time he went out, so he needed to go to the places he frequented to find it.

During this process, Uchiha Hikaru and his party could stay in the bar and rest for a while. It would be even better if they could help her greet the customers.

Bulma happily took the job.

——Although judging from the exchange, Luffy and his party have not been here yet, but since they have solved Moria, they are probably on the way to and from the Chambord Islands, or have landed on the island, but they have not found this place yet. a bar.

Bulma was very interested in meeting this kid who was the first protagonist of the "One Piece" comic and whose personality was somewhat similar to that of Little Goku.

certainly……

Bulma also wanted to meet Sanji, another member of the Straw Hats.

"I originally said that I wanted to get him to be a cook on our ship, but it's a pity that it's too late. It's probably out of the question now... But if I pay Sanji to cook a meal to try, it's still no problem, right? I also I really want to see how the dishes at the 'Sea Restaurant' taste."

"...I don't think you need to pay me, just say a few nice words and the guy will volunteer to cook."

Uchiha Hikari said.

Bulma hesitated: "It seems so..."

present.

Uchiha Hikaru told Bulma to be careful with Sanji's words - although this guy is more gentlemanly than Kame Sennin, he is still a lustful person who dreams of using the "transparent fruit" to spy on women's bathhouses, so he still has to try his best. Be careful, lest he take advantage of you.

Then, Uchiha Hikari left Eriki and Naruto behind again, and made a shadow clone to stay here with them. The main body walked out of the bar with Esdeath, preparing to go out for a walk.

The Chambord Islands are quite large.

Both the geographical environment and the customs and customs on the island are very different from other worlds and even most parts of the pirate world.

Even Esdeath couldn't help but marvel.

While walking side by side along the seaside path.

The back of Uchiha Hikaru's hand touched Esdeath's several times unconsciously.

At first, both of them subconsciously moved their hands away and kept a little distance.

But gradually...

The two stopped avoiding each other, but pretended to be indifferent, letting the backs of each other's hands touch each other, the smooth and cool skin touching each other, the slender five fingers slightly open, and there was a faint sign of clasping together.

During this process.

Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath and his heartbeat slightly accelerated.

"... Hey, the coffee shop in front looks good."

Esdeath suddenly stopped, and while turning around, she gently clasped Uchiha Hikaru's five fingers, and then showed a sly smile: "Would you like to go in and sit down, Xiao Guang, just consider it my treat?"

"... OK."

...

While Xia Qi was busy looking for Rayleigh, Uchiha Hikaru was leisurely drinking coffee.

A pirate group flying the straw hat flag entered the port of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"We're here!"

Hachi, who looked like an octopus man, jumped off the ship first, then waved to Luffy and others behind him: "Let's go, I'll take you to find the coating master!"
