Sabaodi Archipelago.
In a bar somewhere.
Reilly sat down at the bar and took a sip of whiskey, holding the newspaper in his left hand.
Shakki took the drinks to a few customers and returned to the bar, then looked out the window worriedly, " Reilly, what do you think is going on in Marinford right now?»
In the Sabaodi Archipelago, Reilly pretends to be a master of tar coating, but in reality, the Sea Watch already knows that the Dark King lives here secretly, just prefers to turn a blind eye to it.
The reason for this is extremely simple.
Reilly was the Pirate King's right-hand man.
Although the Golden Roger himself was executed, but the former Pirates of Roger still travel around this world.
If the Sea Watch decides to make a move against Reilly, then the rest of Roger's Pirates will also not stand aside, which can cause quite a few problems.
With the situation in the Grand Line's waters extremely confusing and chaotic, the Marine Patrol had no intention of provoking Reilly, who was living peacefully in the Sabaodi Archipelago.
"It must be in complete chaos right now.»
Reilly took a sip of whiskey and put the newspaper on the bar: "Yeruashi, as the owner of the royal will, will never bow his head to the Sea Watch, although at first glance it may seem that this happened only because of Robin, but in fact it all started small...»
After saying this, Reilly chuckled and said seriously, " If the Sea Patrol can't catch him, it will pay a heavy price in the future.»
"Marinford...»
Hearing Reilly's words, Shakki looked out the window and whispered softly.
Marinford is not a place that you can just look at at will, even the Golden Lion Shiki, who stood on a par with Roger and Whitebeard, was able to leave this place only in the shackles of kairoseki and not of his own free will.
At the moment when Shakka's eyes were filled with intense concern, Reilly's hand, which was clutching a glass of whiskey, suddenly froze.
"Don't worry, Shakki, they're already back.»
"Ah?»
Shakki was surprised.
She turned abruptly toward the front door.
After a short wait, Yeruashi and Robin entered the bar.
There were no wounds or scars on their bodies, and they looked the same as they had when they left the bar a few hours ago.
Even with Robin standing next to Yeruashi, there was no outward change.
Shakki was very surprised when she looked at the appearance of Yeruashi and Robin, and then she chuckled, " Heh heh, did you find out after you left that the ship didn't have an Eternal Poz Marinford and were forced to return?»
"Sort of.»
Yeruashi greeted Shakki and Reilly, then said with a smile, " Pour me a whiskey on the rocks.»
Shakki breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Yeruashi and Robin were all right, and began to prepare a drink for Yeruashi.
Reilly gave Yeruashi a slightly odd look.
"Have you decided not to go to Marinford?»
Yeruashi didn't look like a person who would give up on his decisions halfway through the journey, unless something happened along the way that forced him to abandon the journey.
"I swam.»
Yeruashi sat down next to Reilly and said in a relaxed manner, " Ah, but the lookouts weren't very happy about my visit, so I decided not to stay long and returned after a short sightseeing tour.»
Reilly shook his head and said: "It looks like we should expect another increase in your reward in the near future.»
Although it seemed like something completely insignificant from Yeruashi's words, but Reilly certainly understood that the headquarters of the Marine Patrol, this is far from an amusement park and a place for sightseeing.
You can't just come and go there at will.
Sengoku, Kong, and Garp certainly couldn't let Yeruashi leave just like that.
It must have been a short battle and chase, and Yeruashi managed to escape with Robin.
It should be said that Reilly couldn't help but be surprised by Yeruashi's ability to do something like this, because even Roger probably wouldn't have been able to safely escape from Marinford by showing up there with a child with no fighting power at all.
Perhaps Yeruashi has some special ability that makes it much easier to escape, but even so, there is no doubt that he is already standing on top of the sea.
«...»
Robin gave Yeruashi a strange look when she heard his conversation with Reilly.
Is it called 'back after a short sightseeing tour'?!
Yes, he completely destroyed Marinford and changed the landscape of the entire island, turning it into a giant mountain!
"Ah...»
Robin sighed helplessly, making no comment on what had happened in Marinford, and looked at Yeruashi with undisguised admiration.
Maybe he really doesn't care much about such things.
Perhaps, from his point of view, it really was just a 'short sightseeing tour'.
"It's time to rest, Robin and I have already eaten outside.»
Yeruashi drank a glass of whiskey and looked at Reilly and Shakki, and then went up with Robin to the second floor of the bar.
Reilly raised his glass of whiskey and chuckled, " I'll be waiting for your application for the tar coating of the ship, otherwise I won't be able to afford even whiskey soon, ha ha ha.»
Shakki sighed as she watched Yeruashi and Robin go up to the second floor, " It looks like they really went to Marinford, but they must have just looked at it from the side...to escape from the pursuit of the strongest sentries of the headquarters without a single injury, most likely he is even stronger than Roger in his youth, there have not been such strong people in the expanses of the sea for a long time.»
"Yes.»
Reilly looked at the glass of whiskey: "I didn't see any ambition in his eyes, just like in Roger's eyes in the past...most likely, Yeruashi is not the person that Roger was waiting for, but even just enjoying the freedom and travel, such a strong person is sure to have a significant impact on the picture of the world.»
Shakki nodded.
Reilly drank two more glasses of whiskey and was about to leave the bar to try to find a claim for the ship's cover and earn some money for whiskey.
But just at this moment.
A man burst into the bar and looked in shock at a group of people sitting at one of the tables.
"Captain! Captain!! Something's happened!»
The captain of the pirate team, who was drinking beer in a relaxed manner, abruptly stood up and said seriously, " What?! Is our ship surrounded?!»
The pirate took a deep breath and said in shock, " No...there's nothing wrong with our ship...it's connected to Marinford...something has happened at the Marine Patrol headquarters!!»
The pirate's voice was trembling: "I just happened to hear talk about two huge meteorites hitting the Marine Patrol headquarters!»
"They say that now the whole island is in ruins!!»
The captain and several other pirates at the table were extremely shocked.
One of them exclaimed doubtfully, " ... what are you talking about?! Isn't that too much of a joke?»
"No, it's true!!!»
The pirate's voice trembled even more: "At first, I didn't believe it myself, so I decided to make sure of it, and as a result, it turned out that it was already being talked about on every corner! What happened is ninety percent true!!»
The pirates at the table looked at each other in shock.
The captain abruptly put the glass down on the table and exclaimed loudly: "Come on!!»
The pirates quickly left the bar.
Shakki, who was standing at the bar, stared open-mouthed at the table where the pirates had just sat, while Reilly, who was sitting at the bar opposite, stood motionless in place.
In a few seconds.
Shakki closed her mouth and looked at Reilly.
Reilly was looking at Shakki at the same time.
They just stared at each other in silence.
No one spoke.
The bar fell silent.
