Chapitre 1: Chapter 1
One Piece World, Year 1522, Month January, Day 1.
08.00 am, Grand Line, Pulau Saboundy Archepelago, Area 13. Shakky's Rip of Bar.
*Drink*
The bar door was pushed open and a middle-aged man with the appearance of long white hair, brown skin, had a scar on his left eye and wearing a rather shabby outfit and a white robe walked into the bar.
"Congratulations– Ara, you still know where to go home too. I thought you had forgotten about this place and were just playing out there," said a woman who was currently in the bar holding a cigarette in her right hand.
"Ahaha…" The middle-aged man laughed dryly, "I'm back"
"I'm back?" The woman raised her brow then hugged her hands and looked at the middle-aged man right in front of her, "Say. How long are you going to stay here?"
"How long?" The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed face, "Maybe some time?"
"Some time?" The woman asked again then continued, "Ok. At least you can still survive and help me here."
The middle-aged man smiled at the woman's answer then stepped forward and sat on the one-person seat at the bar then said, "Shakky, prepare a drink for me. I am a little thirsty after walking to return"
"Thirsty? Can you come up with a more plausible reason, Ray-san?" Shakky raised her brow then continued, "Anyway, do you have any money?"
"Money? Ahaha… Nothing. I just spent the money from gambling yesterday." The middle-aged man called Ray replied shyly.
"You ran out of money? So, why did you remember to come back here because you ran out of money and no one else wanted to buy you?" The woman named Shakky again asked strangely.
"What else can we do. I look like an old grandpa. It's very difficult to find someone who wants to buy me."
"That's the funniest answer I've heard from you. If you say that you are the former Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates. Surely many will buy you. You will earn quite a lot of money compared to you using your current identity."
The identity of the middle-aged man who was called Ray by the woman named Shakky was the former Vice Captain of the Roger pirate group, Mei'O Silver Rayleigh.
"Ah, it would be troublesome to use that identity. Better not to. I also don't want to have anything to do with the Navy. This old bone isn't as active as it used to be" Rayleigh said calmly as he looked at Shakky, "May I?"
Shakky sighed, "Okay. But, only this time. If you want to get a drink back. Pay with your money or don't work here for a while. There are quite a lot of frequent customers and not enough people to assist in serving them"
"Hahaha thank you." Ray laughed excitedly.
Shakky immediately prepared a drink for Rayleigh to drink. While waiting for Shakky to prepare his drink, Rayleigh's gaze glanced around the room and found nothing special or noticed nothing had changed. The bar is almost the same as it was 1 year ago since he was last at this bar.
Rayleigh's gaze then suddenly looked at a building that could be seen through the window pane on the right side of his body.
The building has a distance of about 250 meters from its current place and the building has a quite unique appearance with a nameplate in front of the building that reads.
Guilds.
"Shakky" Rayleigh called out to Shakky without turning his attention to the building, there was something that made Rayleigh interested in the building, "When was the building over there built? Looks like my last time here. The building isn't there yet, is it?"
"Building?" Shakky asked confused.
Shakky then turned his attention towards Rayleigh's direct gaze, "That building?"
"Yes" Rayleigh nodded his head, "When was the building built?" while continuing to ask.
"Rarely are you interested in anything other than gambling and alcohol, Ray-san" Shakky didn't answer Rayleigh's question immediately but teased him a bit.
"There's something I'm quite interested in that building," Rayleigh replied calmly.
"Something?" Shakky raised her brow then continued, "The building was probably built last night"
"Possibility?" Rayleigh immediately turned his attention to Shakky with a confused voice.
"Yesterday the building was still not there and when I was about to open this bar this morning. I saw the building was already there. There is a possibility that the building was built last night" Shakky replied with an answer she knew.
Rayleigh then turned his attention back towards the building then muttered, "Guild" quietly, "I just heard this word."
Rayleigh's gaze then turned to Shakky, "Have you ever heard of this word? Or know what it means?"
"No" Shakky shook her head, "I just heard this word too. It was possible that it was a random name given by the owner of the place as the name of the building. It was possible that it was the same place as this. However, just using a different name to attract the attention of people to come there. After all, apart from the bar. It would be impossible for anyone to dare to open a business such as selling clothes and others in this area"
Rayleigh nodded and felt Shakky's answer was a reasonable one. Area 1 to area 29 of Saboundy Archepelago Island is a lawless area. In this area anyone can kill and commit heinous acts without getting any punishment at all. Many people who want to open a business always stay away from this area except for strong people. Usually powerful people will only open bars and other illegal businesses.
"But, for anyone who opens a business in this place. Surely the owner of that place has strong power. Because it is impossible for people with weak powers to open a business here." Shakky continued her words.
Rayleigh turned his attention back to the building. There was something that seemed to catch Rayleigh's attention about the building. However, Rayleigh himself did not know about it.
"You seem very interested in the place, Ray-san" Shakky suddenly said back, "Here is your drink"
"Thank you" Rayleigh nodded and drank the drink Shakky gave him then turned his attention back to the building, "I'm not sure or what. Is this just my feeling. However, that building has some sort of thing that catches my eye."
"Get your attention?" Shakky asked confusedly while looking at Rayleigh.
"I'm not sure either" Rayleigh shook his head, "But let's take a closer look. You will definitely feel the same feeling as I feel right now."
Shakky raised her brow and was confused about this. However, Shakky did it anyway and started paying attention to the building. The same thing then happened to Shakky. Previously there was no impression at all, now Shakky felt a sense of attraction towards the building.
"How?" Rayleigh asked with a small smile, "There's something about the building that makes you feel attracted to it, isn't it? It was almost like we were called to come to the building and it was hard to refuse."
Shakky came back to herself trying to calm herself down by taking a sip of her cigarette then looking at Rayleigh "Even though you are old. You still have the same terrifying observance you used to have."
"Hahahaha… Appearance and physical condition can indeed change. However, experience and observation will never diminish with age." Rayleigh laughed excitedly and finished all the drink that was given to him.
"Interested in going and taking a look?" Rayleigh smirked and there seemed to be a stir in his heart that said it would be a loss if he didn't go and see the place.
"It doesn't seem like a problem taking the time to take a look. I'm also quite intrigued by the business the place is doing. After all…" Shakky's gaze glanced at her bar room, "There are still no customers and there's also no way anyone other than you would come to the bar early in the morning for a drink."
"Hahaha…" Rayleigh just laughed at Shakky's words.
Shakky immediately walked out of her desk, "Let's go and have a look. As time went on, I became more and more attracted to the place."
Rayleigh nodded.
They both walked out of the bar. Before continuing on his journey, Shakky changed the notice board in front of him so that people who later came to know that the bar was currently unoccupied or closed.
