Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor
Chapter 337: The Handyman
Chapter 337: The Handyman
The moonlight parted the gauze-like dark clouds and fell on the prosperous flower city.
The lights flickered under the night sky, and pedestrians wearing various kimonos walked on the bustling streets.
At the end of the street is a magnificently decorated attic with singing and dancing and laughter coming from time to time in a banquet hall.
An oiran was on the stage, playing the shamisen for several tables of guests below.
She was wearing a pink floral kimono, had long emerald hair, fair skin that seemed as delicate as a baby's, bright eyes, and a faint glow like rippling water.
She is the oiran Kozuki, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.
As the top courtesan here, if Xiao Zi shows her face, she will usually only receive guests alone, instead of serving multiple guests together with other courtesans like she is now.
In Kyoshiro's words, this is a means of doing business, and it also helps him better protect himself.
But today's guests gave too much.
In order to obtain an extra reward of 100 million berries, Kozuki rejected Kyoshiro's request and resolutely went out to meet these guests who claimed to run a "Yoshiya".
How much food can one hundred million Baileys buy? How many civilians suffering from hunger and cold can be saved outside the Flower City?
She has always been doing this kind of work, relying on her beauty to defraud money from wealthy people.
The plectrum plucks the strings quickly, the sound is quiet and pure, simple and melodious, with a bright and brisk rhythm, and the breeze outside the window brings in a few cherry blossom petals.
At this time, Xiao Zi quietly looked at the man who claimed to be the boss of the Yorozuya.
His blond hair was combed neatly, his sky blue kimono was slightly open to reveal his muscular chest, and with just a slight smile on his face, he gave off a serious and steady demeanor.
Unlike the men who had coveted her beauty in the past, the man in front of her gave her more of a condescending aura.
Even though the other party had not yet revealed any attitude, Xiao Zi began to feel an invisible force of oppression, which she had never felt from the general of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi.
This group of people is obviously not ordinary.
Xiao Zi had met many wealthy businessmen and powerful people due to her fame and status, but she had never seen anyone with such temperament. No, there was one.
During the Fire Festival a few years ago, when she was summoned to the Onigashima banquet, she had also felt this invisible oppression from Kaido and his men, and it was exactly the same aura that the group of people in front of her were faintly emitting.
It was as if that was a temperament that could not be cultivated in this closed country, and that was a heroic spirit that only people like my father who had sailed across the sea could possess.
The sound of the piano fell.
Xiao Zi pressed lightly with her slender fingers, and the vibrating strings gradually calmed down.
"Great! Come again!"
Luffy shouted in a muffled voice with his mouth full of food, and clapped his hands excitedly.
The courtesan at the side kindly handed over food, having gradually adapted to the amazing appetite of the man next to her.
"Oh, thank you. You can eat with us."
Luffy took the food and thanked him with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Zi just finished playing, at least let her take a break."
Sanji shouted at Luffy in dissatisfaction, turned around and looked at Kozuki, his eyes immediately showed two love hearts, and his whole body twisted.
"I would be sad if I hurt Xiao Zi's fingers~~"
As expected, the disease of being a fangirl is something that can never be cured in a lifetime. When Sanji was not around, Pudding released her nature.
By the window, Zoro picked up the wine bowl that the courtesan had just filled, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He leaned his elbows on the table, propped his face with his palms, and looked at Reiner teasingly.
"You will enjoy it anyway."
"As the saying goes, since you're here, you have to come and see the most beautiful girl here."
Reiner smiled softly.
Because Tengu Hichet suddenly fainted during the day, Chopper and his group were called back to Eikasa Village.
The fainting was caused by a severe mental shock for a moment. Now Fei Che has woken up, and there is no problem after his emotions have calmed down.
There is no food in the Eikasa Village, and the beasts all have toxins in their bodies. Not to mention Luffy, it is impossible for them not to eat, so they might as well come to the Flower Capital together.
Fei Che refused to go into the city, and only Xiaoyu was brought here by them. After dinner, the girls went shopping, and the boys found activities on their own.
Reiner looked back at the stage. Kozuki leaned forward slightly and nodded. He handed the shamisen in his arms to the servant boy Toko behind him, then stood up and walked to his side.
"Gintoki-sama."
As soon as they sat down, Xiao Zi leaned over and bowed, then poured a glass of wine for Reiner.
Gintoki is Reiner's alias. When he is out, he gives himself an identity. After hesitating for a long time between Naruto, who runs Ichiraku Ramen, and Gintoki, who runs Yorozuya, Reiner reluctantly gave up the yellow-haired image that suits him better.
Because he can't make ramen.
Xiao Zi held the wine glass in both hands and moved forward actively, without any hesitation about the so-called etiquette between men and women, and leaned directly into Reiner's arms.
Frivolity is a means to empty a man's wallet. She is very clear about the nature of men. She does what an courtesan should do seriously. For some people who make ill-gotten gains, she will even seduce them to redeem her, and keep cheating them until they are bankrupt and then kick them away.
"You bastard! Why should Xiao Zi serve you!"
The one who was shouting was none other than Sanji, who was full of jealousy, even though he was already surrounded by several oirans.
"You can do it if you have money, but the person being treated shouldn't be too ungrateful."
Reiner said nonchalantly, taking the wine and drinking it.
"It is my honor to have Lord Gintoki spend so much money on me."
Xiao Zi pretended to be shy and put her hand on Reiner's chest.
"I heard that Gintoki-sama runs a Yorozuya. I wonder what exactly he does."
"We usually accept various commissions to help others with chores, such as walking the dog, cooking, doing odd jobs, unlocking locks, and moving."
Reiner smiled faintly and explained:
"As the name suggests, the Wanshiwu can help you with anything as long as you can afford it."
What Reiner said above is a fake Yorozuya.
A true jack of all trades does nothing. It doesn’t get any commissions, doesn’t make any money, and can’t pay the rent or eat.
Tsk, that rhymes.
I am indeed a rapper trainee who was delayed by pirates.
"It sounds like a job that can help others."
Xiao Zi smiled slightly, pretended to be puzzled, and asked tentatively:
"But these jobs you mentioned don't sound like the reason why you are rich."
"That's because Xiao Zi doesn't have enough imagination. Didn't I say that as long as you can afford the money,
Reiner looked playful, leaned close to her ear and said coldly:
"We can also accept jobs that involve murder, robbery, burning, and looting."
Hearing this, Xiao Zi's pupils trembled, and her hand on Reiner subconsciously retracted.
"Hahaha, just kidding. Xiao Zi, don't be afraid. As for my money."
Reiner raised a finger and said with a smile:
"Actually, it's because my family is very rich."
"I see, Gintoki-sama scared me."
Xiao Zi smiled with resentment on her face, covering her chest and looking relieved.
But thinking back to just now, that cold tone that made her heart tremble didn't sound fake. She already suspected in her heart that Reiner was the person she said, who would take any dirty job for money.
Xiao Zi returned to the stage and continued playing, staring at Reiner with an unnoticeable gaze as if she was thinking about something. The banquet hall was still filled with singing and dancing.
Outside the attic, a storm was quietly approaching.
"What do you mean Xiao Zi is already entertaining guests? Is there anyone more important than me in this country?!"
"But.!"
"Go away!"
A short man with purple hair and beard angrily pushed aside the obstruction.
"Otherwise I will behead you all and call out Kyoushiro!"
"General!!"
Several guards in the geisha house cried out in panic and watched the man rush in, but they did not dare to stop him.
Even though the owner of this store is the high-ranking underworld boss Kyoshiro, Kyojuro is just a bodyguard of the general.
