Chapter 355: Extortion Bar (Please subscribe, please vote)
"Have you become like this? If it weren't for my Observation Haki telling me that I hadn't found the wrong person, I really wouldn't be able to connect Roger's right-hand man, Pluto Rayleigh, with you now." The Golden Lion looked at Rayleigh in the cage, his disappointment evident in words.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this may not be the place to chat. Why don't we go back and talk about it."

Golden Lion took a deep puff of his cigar and slowly blew out smoke rings. "As you wish."

I saw Rayleigh standing up from the cage, and the next second, Rayleigh left the cage by some unknown means.

The whole person seemed to have suddenly left the cage.

"What's going on? A ghost?"

Dick, who was standing by, was so frightened when he saw this scene. In his eyes, Rayleigh was like a ghost that suddenly jumped out of the cage.

Lin Yi noticed something.

His eyes were fixed on the lock on the cage and he noticed a slight movement there.

Lin Yi understood. He estimated that Rayleigh must have used his domineering power to open the lock at an extremely fast speed, then quickly left the cage and locked it again immediately.

This series of actions is so fast that it is almost imperceptible, and may not even take 0.1 second.

It is this extraordinary speed and accuracy that creates a visual effect similar to teleportation.

"Here, this is Bailey for today."

Rayleigh took out a bag of Baileys from his waist. This was the price he would sell himself for.

He had originally planned to use the 50,000 Baileys to drink, but the sudden appearance of the Golden Lion changed his plan slightly.

Dick stretched out his hand blankly and caught the bag of money thrown by Rayleigh.

The shocking scene of Rayleigh "teleporting" out of the cage just now was still echoing in his mind.

In his imagination, Pluto Rayleigh should be a domineering and powerful figure, and he has nothing to do with the amiable old man in front of him.

"Take care." Dick's voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner shock and anxiety.

As Rayleigh, Golden Lion and Lin Yi walked further and further away and finally disappeared from Dick's sight, he seemed to have unloaded a huge burden and sat down on the floor.

At this moment, the vest under Dixie's suit was soaked with cold sweat.

The meeting between the two legendary pirates, Golden Lion and Pluto Rayleigh, made him begin to wonder whether the world was really about to end.

Ten minutes later, Rayleigh led Golden Lion and Lin Yi to a bar called 'Shaoqi's Extortion BAR'.

This place is remote and quiet, with few people going there, as if it is a corner forgotten by the world.

"Xia Qi, I'm back."

Rayleigh called softly, pushing open the door to the bar.

What responded to him was an empty wine bottle that suddenly flew out of the door and hit Rayleigh's head accurately, causing a big bump.

Lin Yi could see clearly that the wine bottle that flew out just now was actually wrapped with black domineering aura. You know, this thing is the ultimate ability pursued by snipers, which is to attach domineering aura to objects and shoot them out.

"Hey, Rayleigh, you're back." A mellow and slightly hoarse female voice came from the depths of the bar, and then a figure slowly walked out.

That was Xia Qi, the owner of the bar, a woman who had been through many hardships but still had her charm.

"Is this your way of welcoming me back?" Rayleigh said helplessly, smiling bitterly and touching the big bump on his head.

"Why did you decide to come back today? Don't you usually hang out outside for a month and only come back when you are out of money?" Xia Qi's tone was full of ridicule and dissatisfaction. She held a lady's cigarette in her hand and gently exhaled a puff of smoke, her eyes revealing her dissatisfaction with Reilly's behavior.

She walked to the door of the bar, without even looking at Rayleigh, and stepped right over him as if he were just an insignificant rug.

Rayleigh smiled bitterly and shook his head, seeming to be accustomed to this kind of treatment.

"Long time no see, Shiki."

"Long time no see, Peony."

After seeing Xia Qi, Jin Shizi showed a friendly smile on his face. For a remnant of the ancient times like Jin Shizi, seeing an old friend here was the best news. "Just call me Xia Qi. I haven't used the name Shaoyao for a long time."

"Who is this?"

Xia Qi looked at Lin Yi, and she quickly collected information related to Lin Yi in her mind, but unfortunately, none of the information matched Lin Yi.

After all, Lin Yi only stayed on Magnetic Drum Island for three short days. For the rest of the time, he was directly taken to the base camp by Golden Lion. Of course, no news about Lin Yi would be reported.

"My new crew, how are they? Not bad, right?"

"Well, the aura on his body is very sharp. With more training, he will definitely have a place in the position of a great swordsman in the future."

Xia Qi took one look at Lin Yi and made an evaluation of him. Lin Yi did not expect that the other party's vision was so sharp. You know, Lin Yi was dressed as a pastor at this time. Normally, the other party should not be able to see it.

"Okay, come in and talk."

Xia Qi pushed open the door of the bar and hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign on it.

After everyone entered the bar, Xia Qi handed a menu to Jin Shizi and Lin Yi and asked them to choose their drinks.

While mixing the drinks, Xia Qi casually mentioned: "Recently, the Warring States began to mobilize troops, and I guessed that it was you who did it."

There was a hint of wisdom and insight in her words, as if she had already seen through the Golden Lion's intentions.

"Isn't that Zhan Guo guy still senile? Yes, Zhan Guo, who is known as a wise general, how could he not notice it? It seems that my recent actions are a bit too big."

Golden Lion sat at the bar, quietly admiring the colorful cocktail in his hand.

This glass of wine seems to have gathered all the colors of the afterglow of the sunset, from deep red to orange, to light green, each layer exuding an alluring luster.

The ice cubes gently collide in the cup, accompanied by crisp and pleasant sounds, adding a touch of liveliness to this quiet space.

He gently picked up the glass and took a sip of the cocktail. Suddenly, the rich taste spread in his mouth, like a feast for the taste buds.

At first, it is a mixture of sweet and sour fruit flavor. The freshness of lemon and orange blends with the sweetness of cherry, making people feel as if they are in a garden full of fruit fragrance.

Afterwards, the mellow taste of alcohol gradually emerges. It does not sting the throat, but flows slowly through the throat like a warm current, bringing a slight burning sensation, making people feel comfortable and pleasant.

Golden Lion closed his eyes and savored the cocktail in his mouth.

Finally, a light aftertaste lingers on the tip of his tongue, as if telling him that good wine needs to be savored slowly, just like every moment in life is worth cherishing and reminiscing.

"Sure enough, the wine you mix is ​​the best."

There was a gleam of memory in the Golden Lion's eyes, and he seemed to have returned to the days on the Rocks ship.

At that time, Xia Qi, just like now, carefully prepared a glass of drink for each person.

The glass of fruit wine in his hand was his favorite back then. Its unique taste and aroma had fascinated him deeply.

Golden Lion hasn't tasted this kind of wine for almost thirty years since the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates.

The passage of time almost made him forget the wonderful taste of this wine, but at this moment, the familiar and tempting fruity aroma once again evoked his memory.

"So are you planning to attack the naval headquarters again this time?" Rayleigh's tone was flat, as if he was just asking about an ordinary matter.

He was holding a bottle of ordinary white wine and tasting it carefully. To him, there is no good or bad wine, the key lies in the mentality and method of wine tasting.

Hearing this, the Golden Lion narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. He slowly said, "Why, do you want to stop me, Rayleigh?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly became tense. The two swords on the Golden Lion's waist seemed to sense the master's fighting spirit and began to tremble slightly, making a buzzing sound.

At the same time, the sword that Rayleigh placed against the wall seemed to feel the murderous aura. The sword body trembled slightly, emitting a hint of cold light.

The two weapons seemed to be eager to start fighting.
