Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 266 Old Friend
"Ok?"

Arriving in the town, just as he turned the corner and was about to walk towards the snack shop that he remembered was located in the middle of the street, La suddenly stopped.

The reason was simple: a familiar sign suddenly caught her eye, right opposite the snack shop.

"[Syracusan]... When did Miss Rapp move the store here?"

With some doubts, La walked to the door of the restaurant and looked at it carefully.

"Hmm... the decoration style is exactly the same. It seems to be the same one as before."

“But it seems it’s not open yet.”

Looking at the paint on the store's exterior that had not yet dried, and the sign "Opening soon, stay tuned" hanging on the closed door, La felt a little regretful.

She still misses the signature pineapple pizza and the unique chocolate jam pasta.

After stopping for a while and seeing that there was indeed no one in the store, La turned and went to the snack shop across the street to bring two boxes of Pocky for Osi.

[Buy a few more boxes and bring some back for Oubey.]
With this in mind, he pushed open the door of the snack shop...but what he saw was a scene of an unscrupulous customer molesting a female clerk.

"Wow~ I didn't expect to meet you here, this is really a coincidence~"

"When I first learned that you had left the family, I was very sad and searched for you for a long time~"

The silver-haired woman half-leaned in front of the cashier, completely breaking the safe distance, almost sticking to the face of the black-haired clerk opposite her, and said frivolously:
"If I had known you were here, I would have moved here immediately."

"Well, it's not too late now..."

"Sir, if you are not buying anything, please move aside and do not disturb other customers."

The harassed black straight female clerk said coldly:
"If you continue like this I'll have to ask you to leave."

"Hahaha! You're still so cold, Nina~"

"Mrs. Sicily has passed away, so the feud between our two families should be written off... After all, my father and I are the only two left in the Saluzzo family now."

The destruction of a family should have been a sad thing, but there was no sadness in Miss Rapp's tone. Instead, it revealed a hint of sarcasm and relief.

"Mrs. Sicily died?!"

When the black-haired girl named Nina heard the news, her expression finally changed a little...

"Oh, yes~ the message came not long ago."

"How's it going? Do you feel better after hearing that the enemy who destroyed your family has passed away?"

"Which family did it?"

She subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when she reached into her pocket, she only felt half a box of Pocky. The girl named Nina simply picked up a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

"It's not any of our families...it's an outside gang."

"A foreign gang?"

"Yes, and it wasn't just Lady Sicily. Almost all the other families in the West Sea were wiped out overnight."

"?!"

Click~
The pocky in his mouth was bitten off subconsciously due to shock, and the remaining half slipped from his lips.

Fortunately, it was caught by two white fingers before it hit the ground.

Click click click~

Miss Rapp threw the half of the pocky not wrapped in chocolate into her mouth and chewed it into pieces. Then she stood up straight and ended the ambiguous posture.

"I heard that those old, self-satisfied people were treated like jokes by those people and were beaten to a pulp."

"And they're using the latest rifle model produced by the island's owner—the Beasts Institute. It's called something like... 'Typewriter'?"

Miss Rapp grinned, showing her sharp teeth and making a sneering sound.

“What an interesting and fitting name~”

"..."

Ignoring the sarcasm in the other person's words, the black-haired girl stood there silently, as if she was still digesting the information just now.

However, the silver-haired Miss Lap seemed not to notice and continued to talk incessantly on Xiaowan Zhihu:
"I never thought that the generations-long struggles and intrigues in the underground world of the West Sea would one day end in this way..."

"The behemoth you and I tried so hard to escape from turned out to be so vulnerable... How ironic!"

"name."

"Ok?"

"The name of that gang," the black-haired girl asked.

"Ah~ This... the other party seems to be called - [Capone]."

……

"Okay, I won't bother you any more."

"Anyway, we'll be neighbors next door from now on, so there'll be plenty of opportunities to catch up."

Miss Rapp, who had already had enough fun today, bowed gracefully to him as usual, then turned and prepared to leave...

"Ok?"

Just as he was about to turn around, a flash of gold came into Lapu's sight.

“Ouch~Ouch~”

"Isn't this Miss La~ Is today really my lucky day?"

Seeing the familiar figure standing quietly at the door, Miss Rapp was surprised again and seamlessly performed a gentleman's salute.

"Sashi ignores you~ You are still so dignified and charming."

"Miss Rapp is still as charming as ever."

La smiled and nodded in return.

"I didn't expect Miss Rapp to move her shop here, but what happened on the island?"

We haven't received any reports of any abnormalities in the territory, but it wouldn't hurt to take this opportunity to verify it.

"Don't worry, Miss La, there's nothing wrong over there."

"It's just that my father has been worried ever since he met the admiral of the navy. He's always afraid that he might suddenly appear again, so he thought of moving here to be a little safer."

Since she already knew that La was a cadre of the Beasts, Miss Lap did not hide anything and directly stated the reality.

"I wonder when Miss Rapp's shop will open. I'll have to bother her then."

"Haha~ Miss La is still so polite."

"My improved mince fruit pizza just needs some valuable feedback from a real customer... Dad doesn't seem to like pizza much lately, even though he used to eat a piece every day."

Miss Rapp's tone became regretful, as her father had been full of praise for the pineapple pizza when it was first introduced.

"I remember that Mr. Saluzzo seemed to like oranges very much. Miss Rapp might try orange pizza or orange sauce noodles or something like that."

"Um……"

Miss Rapp nodded in approval, remembering how her father would often fiddle with an orange whenever he had something to do.

[When the time comes, just combine these three ingredients and make an orange juice pasta pizza. Dad will definitely like it.]
"But we have to wait for my father to come back first. As you just heard, there's something wrong in my hometown, and my father is going back to deal with it."

"Then you need to be careful."

"Thanks for your concern. But it's not that dangerous, I just went over to take a look."

"It's your Hundred Beasts' firearms that are really showing off this time. I heard from my father on the Den Den Mushi that the remaining gangs in the West Sea are trying to get their hands on your products through their connections."

"It's said that the price of an ordinary revolver pistol has been hyped up to ten times its original price."

As a resident who has always lived in the Beast Territory and a former gang member, Lapu has always been very interested in the firearms of Beast Heavy Industry.

[West Sea... I remember we didn't have any business there.]
So, who exactly is this Capone family?
After waving goodbye to Miss Lap, La stopped thinking about these trivial matters and turned to look at the shop assistant who had been looking unhappy since a while ago.

"Excuse me……"

“Orange pizza, orange pizza, orange pizza, orange pizza, orange pizza, orange pizza, orange pizza…”

"Miss clerk?"

"what!"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Please give me four boxes of Pocky, thank you."

"Okay, okay."

The shop assistant named Nina walked towards the shelves in a daze, mumbling something like "oranges, pizza".

[Ms. Lape's friend...what a strange person~]
