"Alright! I'll finish the coating within two days!"
Konan didn't dare to doubt what Xia Luo said at all.
After all, Xia Luo was a pirate! He didn't dare to gamble with the lives of everyone in the town.
Xia Luo entered the cabin. There was nothing interesting about watching the coating process.
He decided to go back and catch some Z's.
"Boss! Boss! Can we go to the tavern in town for a drink!"
Paul stepped forward cautiously and looked at Xia Luo.
Xia Luo looked at Paul, then at the eager looks in the eyes of the crew behind Paul.
He also figured they'd been sailing on the sea for almost half a month. It was time to relax.
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
Xia Luo also felt like having a drink.
Seeing that the boss was interested, Paul waved his hand with a smile on his face.
"The boss is treating!"
Paul started to stir things up, hoping that Xia Luo would foot the bill!
"Right! The boss is treating!"
More than twenty crew members also started to shout.
Looking at the more than twenty people making a ruckus, Xia Luo smiled.
"Let's go! I'm treating today. Drink to your heart's content!"
Xia Luo waved his hand grandly and led the way towards the tavern in the town.
Watching Xia Luo lead more than twenty pirates into the town,
Konan looked at the town with some worry.
But he was powerless to stop them. He could only hope that these pirates would keep their promises.
When Xia Luo and his crew stepped into the town, the townspeople who had originally come out started running away again and didn't dare to stay.
Xia Luo was very speechless when he saw that everyone had run away again.
Then!
Shave!
Xia Luo tapped his toes and instantly disappeared from his original spot. He jumped in front of a running townsman.
He grabbed the townsman by the collar.
"Hey! Where is the tavern in this town?"
Xia Luo looked around but didn't see the sign of the tavern, so he had to ask someone.
It was just that his way of asking was a bit different.
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!"
The townsman didn't dare budge when Xia Luo grabbed him. He screamed in panic.
"If you keep screaming, I'll cut out your tongue!"
Xia Luo glared at the townsman and growled a threat.
After he finished speaking, the townsman instantly covered his mouth! He looked at Xia Luo with a terrified look in his eyes.
"One more time, where is the tavern?"
Xia Luo looked at the townsman with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Mm-mm!"
The townsman stretched out his trembling finger and pointed in a direction.
Xia Luo looked where the townsman pointed.
His Observation Haki instantly swept over.
A very large tavern stood quietly in an alley.
Moreover, Xia Luo's Observation Haki spread slightly, and there were at least five or six taverns opened nearby.
Xia Luo let go of the townsman's collar and tossed him aside.
He led more than twenty brothers towards the tavern.
Bang!
Xia Luo kicked the tavern door wide open.
"Boss! Bring out all the good wine and delicious food in your shop!"
Xia Luo stood at the door of the tavern and shouted loudly.
"Good wine and delicious food!"
The twenty - plus pirates behind him all cheered happily in unison.
"Y - you sirs! P - please come in!"
The bartender walked forward tremblingly and said to Xia Luo in a quivering voice.
"Talk straight! Or I'll yank your tongue out and soak it in wine!"
Xia Luo stared fiercely at the bartender and threatened.
"Ah! My lord! Have mercy on me!"
Hearing this, the bartender immediately knelt on the floor, kowtowing and loudly begging for mercy.
"Tsk tsk!"
Xia Luo looked at the sweating bartender and felt somewhat speechless.
Thud, thud, thud!
A rush of hasty footsteps sounded from upstairs.
"Lord Xia Luo! Lord Xia Luo! My subordinate offended you! I'm here to make amends. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this once!"
Xia Luo looked up and saw a flat - topped man in a tailcoat walking downstairs quickly. He looked at the man striding forward.
"Are you the boss here?"
Xia Luo asked indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm the boss of this tavern!"
The flat - topped man in the tailcoat quickly nodded.
"That's good! Hurry up and serve me your best wine and dishes. Can't you see my pirate brothers are hungry?"
Xia Luo pointed his thumb at the more than twenty pirates behind him and shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll bring the wine right away. Please! Please!"
The boss also looked at the group of pirates behind Xia Luo, with cold sweat on his forehead.
They had all been exposed to the wind and sun on the sea, and all of them looked extremely fierce.
Xia Luo found an empty seat and sat down.
Well, the whole tavern was full of empty seats, so Xia Luo didn't even need to look.
And the more than twenty pirates behind Xia Luo also each found an empty seat and sat down.
"Wine! Wine! Wine!"
After sitting down, the more than twenty pirates behind Xia Luo started banging on the tables and shouting.
This act instantly scared the tavern boss.
"This... This... This..."
The boss looked at these twenty fierce pirates, then at Xia Luo.
He looked at Xia Luo with a troubled expression because he thought Xia Luo was more reasonable than these pirates as Xia Luo was their leader.
"Lord Xia Luo, we'll bring the wine right away. Please wait a moment!"
The boss kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Xia Luo grabbed the boss's wrist and stared into his eyes.
"Boss, are you very afraid of me?"
Xia Luo asked expressionlessly.
Hearing Xia Luo's sudden question, the boss's face turned pale with fear. But as the owner of the tavern, he steadied his nerves and looked at Xia Luo with a smile on his face.
"My lord, look what you're saying. You're a big-time pirate on the sea, a pirate with a bounty of 950 million. How can I, the owner of this tavern, not be afraid?"
The tavern boss forced a laugh, his heart was extremely flustered, and his eyes kept wandering.
After hearing this, Xia Luo let go of the tavern boss's wrist.
"Hahaha! Really? Didn't expect my rep to be this big already!"
Xia Luo laughed heartily, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.
"Hahaha! Boss! You're a top - notch navy fugitive now! Hahaha!"
Paul looked at Xia Luo and laughed out loud.
Xia Luo wasn't angry at Paul's teasing.
"Where's the wine? Hurry up and bring the wine."
As Xia Luo's voice died down, the waiters came over one by one and placed bottles of wine in front of each pirate.
Xia Luo directly opened a bottle of wine of an unknown brand and tilted his head back to pour it into his mouth!
In a short while, every drop of the wine in the bottle had gone into Xia Luo's stomach.
"Great! Captain, you have an amazing capacity for liquor!"
After Xia Luo finished off the bottle of wine, his subordinates beside him cheered.
"Hahaha! Drink! I'm treating. We're not leaving until we're all plastered tonight!"
Xia Luo said generously.
The reason Xia Luo had grabbed the tavern owner's wrist earlier was to use mind - reading to check if there was anything fishy about him.
After checking, he found that this boss was like himself in the past, just the local mafia boss in this area, running several taverns around here.
He had absolutely no bad intentions. He just wanted to cater to this 'god of plague' so that he could leave soon.
Xia Luo didn't give a damn about his thoughts. After realizing there was no problem, Xia Luo let go.
