A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

Page 31

Qi Bai spoke slowly in a gentle tone.

"Just...this?"

After hearing Qi Bai's words, Ke Ya was also a little dazed.

Do ruthless bandits these days know how to be polite?

Shouldn't ruthless bandits be like pirates, only knowing how to burn, kill, and plunder?

but.

Looking across the table, there was Qi Bai, dressed very handsomely.

She also fell silent.

perhaps.

Perhaps it's because the times are changing too fast, and she can't keep up with everything.

"Of course, there is one more small request."

Qi Bai said slowly.

Hearing Qi Bai say that, for some reason, the uneasy feeling in Ke Ya's heart calmed down.

"Please speak, Mr. Qi Bai."

Kaya said.

"I want the ship designed by your butler, Merry."

Qi Bai looked at Meli, the butler beside Kaya, and said.

That was his purpose.

If the operation had only dealt with the Black Cat Pirates and the Hundred-Purpose Kuro, its evaluation level might not have been very high.

But if Usopp is kidnapped.

That rating should improve significantly.

However, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll reach Grade A.

Even if you reach Grade A, you may not necessarily receive any extra rewards.

and so……

He simply included the Forward Merry in the calculation.

That ship accompanied Luffy and his crew for most of their journey. If he manages to intercept it, there's a good chance he can reach A-rank and receive a lot of extra rewards.

……

Chapter 32: I was too kind; that's why you didn't realize you had no right to negotiate with me! [1st Update]

Hear the words.

"A ship designed by Merry?"

Kaya was also taken aback; she clearly didn't understand why Qi Bai would make such a strange request.

What's more.

Would Merry design ships?

She herself wasn't quite sure about this.

"Merry, are you willing?"

After thinking for a moment, Kaya asked Merry the same question.

“As long as Miss Kaya has any needs, Merry will naturally have no objections.”

Merry nodded to Kaya, his attitude indicating that he agreed to the request.

"I agree to your request."

Seeing this, Ke Ya agreed to Qi Bai's request.

but.

"I also have a request: you must let Usopp go."

Ke Ya, who appeared somewhat frail, felt her confidence greatly increased during the smooth negotiation with Qi Bai, so she also put forward her own demands.

That was just her request.

“Miss Kaya, it seems you haven’t figured out your own place yet.”

Qi Bai couldn't help but sneer.

"You have no right to negotiate with me."

"The reason you're willing to sit down and negotiate with me is simply because I'm too kind, which is why I gave you this opportunity."

"If you don't want to negotiate with me."

"Then, I can also tell you what a ruthless bandit should do when faced with such an uncooperative target."

His icy gaze swept over Kaya, which made her tremble with fear.

This moment.

She then realized that she had become somewhat arrogant because the negotiations had gone too smoothly.

This person in front of me.

My sister is no pushover.

Even if the other party says they are too kind.

but.

The other party was a ruthless bandit from beginning to end.

There is no such thing as equal communication between them.

Because of this world.

It has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak.

"Usopp... he didn't offend you, you don't need to do this at all."

Kaya was frightened, but at this moment, she still stood up for Usopp, who was her only friend.

"I don't like nonsense."

"I will definitely take Usopp with me."

"Miss Kaya, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or don't blame me for taking action against you."

"I'm not the type to show mercy to women."

Qi Bai said coldly.

He had no liking for those who tried to stop him.

especially.

Usopp's value is still so high.

How could he possibly let Usopp, such a fat sheep, go?!

Kaya seemed to want to say something more.

But she was stopped by Merry, who was standing next to her.

It would be really bad to provoke the other party at this time.

Even if you just want to help someone.

But that doesn't warrant risking your life.

"Mr. Qi Bai, the shipbuilding issue may take some time."

Merry also spoke to Qi Bai.

"how long."

Qi Bai asked.

"One week is enough, provided that the workers and materials are all available."

"Merry said seriously."

"Build a ship in a week? Are you kidding me?"

Qi Bai looked at Merry with a strange expression and said.

It was completed in a week.

You must be kidding me.

when.

A ship is so easy to build now.

"No, the ship is something I started designing when I was a child. Over the years, I've used up all my savings to build it. It's basically finished now, but there are still some finishing touches to be done. So, I can build the Forward Merry for you in just one week."

Merry also offered an explanation.

Hear the words.

Qi Bai indicated that he understood.

No wonder.

Luffy and his crew didn't seem to have stayed in Syrup Village for several months at that time. The reason why Merry brought out the Going Merry at that time was probably because the Merry had already been built.

That's why they could directly give the ship to Luffy and his crew as a thank-you gift.

But this is the only ship right now.

It was about to fall into his hands.

"Okay, I'll wait. If I don't receive the ship in a week, the consequences will be beyond what you can afford."

Qi Bai spoke the threatening words slowly and calmly.

Threats cannot solve all problems.

But this level of threat.

This would allow Merry to focus wholeheartedly on what he asked of her.

At this time.

Lu Qi, who was outside the room, also came in.

"Boss, we've already gotten all the answers."

Lu Qi also spoke earnestly to Qi Bai.
