บท 31: Sixis

Seeing Rayleigh turn out into such a helpless man, Giotto couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No wonder Rayleigh kept selling himself again and again. At this rate, he was no different from a street gangster. It would surprise everyone if they knew this guy was the infamous Silvers Rayleigh?

Time really was cruel!

"Okay, Rayleigh, let's let little Giotto talk about the business first. He came here to buy information." When it came to business, Shakky's face immediately changed.

Even if Giotto was an acquaintance, she would rake in as much profit as possible. Otherwise, why would her bar have such a name?

"Do you need information? Hahaha, I that all? Since Giotto needs information, for my sake, can you..."

Before Rayleigh could finish his words, Shakky immediately cut him off: "Hand over the money you owe before you say another word! Giotto was now the leader of his Family. The money he spent to buy information was nothing to him. He doesn't need you to negotiate the price! "

Giotto didn't even know how to respond to this. Shakky was definitely going to deman a sky-high price, and because she already said that much, Giotto didn't feel like bargaining anymore.

"Well, you should have a hint about my situation, so I really can't help you, Giotto, sorry!" After saying this, Rayleigh immediately distanced himself from Giotto and sat down, pretending as if what happened here had nothing to do with him.

So, Rayleigh was basically powerless in front of Shakky?

After a helpless sigh, Giotto asked with a stern face: "A deserted island in the East Blue, the specific location of an island called Sixis. If anyone knows where it is, I'm sure it's only you, Shakky-senpai."

East Blue, the weakest sea.

People in the Underworld didn't pay much attention to that, and information relating to East Blue wouldn't give any money, so naturally, no one would gather any information regarding that place. But Shakky was different. No one knew how she got her information, but many people in a similar line of work as her believed that as long as you didn't mind getting ripped off, you could get any information you wanted, except for some extremely special information.

"Information from the East Blue?"

Shakky thought for a while and then said: "Well, I don't have much regarding that sea. Even if it's the birthplace for famous people like Roger and Garp, not many people would buy information about the East Blue. As long as the island does exist, I'll look it up for you, and I should be able to find it 80% of the time."

"Thanks a lot, then how much does this information cost?" Giotto asked this key question with some trepidation.

He didn't have that much money now, and even now, he doubted that he could afford the information fee.

"I'm glad we're on the same page. Business is business setting our friendship aside. Although the information from the East Blue is of little value, finding a completely unknown island from such a large sea area will be quite troublesome, so the price...let's set it at 100 million Bailey!"

Hearing this, Giotto swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shouted in his heart, was money that easy to earn?

He helped Bullet stop the two monstrous Vice-Admirals, one of which would become a Fleet Admiral in the future. Then he also fought against Admiral Sengoku for a short period of time and only earned one billion Belly despite nearly dying.

I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to collapse...

Giotto was thinking of establishing a similar business as Shakky with Bell or Fran. He would've made a lot of money if he could at least make three to five deals a day!

Then again, he did have that much money. Besides, the value of this information exceeded 100 million Belly. After all, the price of a Devil Fruit was far higher than 100 million Belly, and this was Flame-Flame Fruit they were talking about.

Thinking of this, Giotto felt a lot better in his heart, and he put a box he was carrying directly on the bar: "There is exactly 100 million Belly inside, how long will it take you to determine where Sixis is?"

"It won't be long. I'll be done while you and Rayleigh have a drink and chat, as long as it exists."

After accepting 100 million Belly, Shakky was obviously in a good mood: "You don't need to pay for the drinks today. If you have something else you ned in the future, just call me and I'll give you a 20% discount."

The price for Shakky's information was several times higher than other information brokers, so 20% discount didn't really mean anything. However, she had any information that one could ask for, so they didn't care even if they were getting ripped off. In addition, she was powerful in her own right, and with Rayleigh here, those who were dissatisfied with her wouldn't be able to touch her.

After Giotto was done with the business talk, he sat down next to Rayleigh and drank "free" drinks.

The two also chatted about some things during this time. After all, Giotto and Rayleigh have not seen each other for a long time since the disbandment of the Roger Pirates.

When he was on the ship before, Rayleigh, as a senpai, took care of Giotto, and they were quite close with each other.

"By the way, Rayleigh-senpai, there is one thing I want to ask."

In addition to buying information from Shakky, Giotto also came to the Sabaody Archipelago to consult Rayleigh: "When you went to the Skypiea before, does a place call Birka ring any bell?"

That deserted island was the place Giotto must go to on this trip. There were two reasons for that...

First, there was a city of gold on Skypiea. If he could secure the gold there, the financial crisis he was facing would be solved.

Another reason was that there was a Devil Fruit known as the strongest Logia-type there during this time period, but he didn't know if Enel had consumed it or not...

Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
