One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Inside the tavern~~

Xia Qi was slightly surprised to see the two uninvited kids in front of her.

"Hey guys, what would you like to drink?"

"Um... two glasses of juice will do!"

"Okay, buddy."

Xia Qi put down two glasses of juice, then crossed her arms and leaned against the bar, staring at Roy and the other person.

Beside him, Tesoro, who had just clearly witnessed Xia Qi throwing a menacing-looking pirate out of the tavern, held his juice with trembling hands, looking extremely nervous.

Roy also looked slightly embarrassed.

That damned Oda!!!

Who could have imagined that the treasure lost by the Rocks Pirates would cause a massive battle between four top-tier powers: the Rocks Pirates, the Roger Pirates, the Marines, and the World Government?

Even the world's supreme ruler, Rocks, perished in the God Valley Incident!!

Who would have thought that this "treasure" wasn't one of the powerful Devil Fruits from God Valley, but rather the woman before them?

What a damn twisted sense of humor!!

"What's wrong, buddy?"

Seeing Roy staring blankly at her, Xia Qi asked him a question.

"Hey buddy, how do you know about Rocks? Although the God Valley Incident only happened a few years ago, the World Government has already completely blocked this news."

"At your age, you shouldn't know these things, right?"

"Hahaha···"

"None of these things matter."

Roy chuckled.

Seeing that Roy was unwilling to answer, Xia Qi didn't dwell on the answer any longer and instead asked:

"So, what is your purpose in coming here?"

"You didn't just come in for a juice, did you?"

"Of course not! We're here to buy information: the training methods for Haki, the training methods for the Six Styles of the Navy, the training methods for basic swordsmanship, and the record pointers for the Endless War Country and Kuraikana Island."

"The Log Pose, the Haki training method, and the swordsmanship training manual are all fine, but the Six Styles of the Navy are methods that only high-ranking personnel of the Navy and the World Government can learn. It will be very troublesome to obtain them."

"As an information broker, with Miss Xia Qi's intelligence-gathering abilities, this shouldn't be a problem at all!!"

"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit of information, sir."

Xia Qi became even more interested in the blond kid in front of her, knowing about Rocks, the events the World Government had blocked, and her past. "Could this kid be a descendant of a member of the Rocks Pirates?"

Long golden hair, with an arrogant expression.

"What's your relationship with Shiki the Golden Lion?"

What is a ghost in the Golden Lion?

How could I possibly have any connection with the Golden Lion? I'm a time traveler, so handsome! Look at the Golden Lion's face, does he even have anything to do with me?

Just because I know a lot of things and have the same hair color as the Golden Lion doesn't mean I'm related to the Golden Lion.

"How could I possibly have anything to do with Shiki? Look at my face, and look at my trendy hairstyle. Is he as handsome as me?!"

Seeing Roy's exasperated expression, Xia Qi couldn't help but smile.

"Subclass...subclass...I believe you and Shiki have nothing to do with each other anymore, but the information will be worth 100 million Berries. Shall we pay now, buddy?"

Upon hearing that it would cost 100 million Tezzolo, he was stunned, saying he had never seen so much money in his entire life.

Roy remained completely calm. Money? No problem. Then we'll just rob someone!

When will what I need arrive?

"It will take about 3 days."

"Three days? Sure, we'll come back to trade in three days."

After saying that, Roy stood up and walked outside. Seeing his boss leave, Tesoro quickly finished his juice and hurried after him.

"What an interesting guy!"

Xia Qi sighed as she watched Roy's departing figure.

Outside the bar, Tesoro asked curiously, "Boss, 1 million Berries? You actually have that much money?"

"No, I don't have any money."

Seeing Tesoro's surprise, Roy put his arm around his shoulder and said seriously:

"But don't worry, Tezzolo,"

"You must understand that in this world, only the strong can control everything. As long as you have strength, you can get what you want. The weak can only be bullied."

"Yeah?"

Tesoro thought about his past life. Was he bullied because he was weak? Thinking about this, a desire to become stronger ignited in Tesoro's heart.

"Boss, please teach me how to become stronger. I don't want to lose control of my own destiny."

Seeing the desire ignite in Tesoro's eyes, Roy laughed heartily.

"Hahaha···"

"Of course, no problem. But getting stronger is hard work, and if you can't keep up, I'll abandon you."

"Then let's find a hotel to rest for a while."

======================

Lying in bed, Roy had already come up with a preliminary plan on how to get the money.

"If you don't have money, just rob someone. If you have the strength, you won't be afraid of not having money." Thinking this, he turned to Tesoro and asked, "Who is this thug who bullied you today, the one who called him 'Wild Wolf Dokley'?"

"Dorkley is a gang leader on Sabaody Archipelago. They operate casinos and slave auction houses in illegal areas, specializing in scavenging rare treasures for the world's nobles."

"It's said he has several hundred men under his command, and apparently he also has the navy as his backer."

As he spoke, Tesoro's expression slowly darkened. He clenched his fists, and as if remembering something, he whispered, "Boss, can you help me rescue Stella? He's here too..."

"She is the only person I truly cherish."

Stella? The girl who was bought by the Celestial Dragons, died three years later, and caused Tesoro to become completely corrupted?

Roy felt sympathy for this girl with such a tragic fate; there were just too many miserable people in this world.

But who can blame him when Tezzolo is now his underling?! Roy is determined to help him out in this situation.

He instructed Tesoro to investigate the matter.

After all, in the first half of the Grand Line, what powerful figures could a small gang have? It just has the backing of high-ranking naval officers, but it's still best to be careful, since he doesn't intend to appear in the Navy's sights too early.

Meanwhile, at the Wild Wolf Gang's headquarters, in the luxurious office...

A fat man with a fierce look was looking at the financial statements from the past few months in his hand. The glint in his eyes from time to time indicated that this fat man was not as simple as he seemed.

Peng~Peng

The sudden sound of the door opening startled the fat man who was working diligently.

"Boss Docley,"

"Tezzolo was saved by a brat."

"Useless! You can't even handle this simple task, what are you even doing back here?!"

Just as Dokley was about to explode in anger, the door was pushed open again, and in came Tore Gorm, Dokley's second-in-command and the person in charge of the slave auction house.

"Torre, is there something important?"

"Boss, the news has already been released that the batch of treasures that arrived a few days ago will be auctioned off soon. I heard that even some Celestial Dragons will be coming to participate in the auction. You'll be able to make a fortune again!"

Upon hearing this good news, Dokley was overjoyed and immediately put Tezzolo's matter out of his mind.
