Pirate: Forging Iron Makes You Stronger

After strolling slowly and leisurely for half an hour, the sky became completely dark.

The island is independently divided into dozens of areas. From 1 to 29, it is a lawless area that Marine cannot control. There are many auction houses and criminal gangs here.

Numbers 30 to 49 are some parks and other leisure places and commercial areas. Numbers 50 to 59 are the shipyard and coating factory. Numbers 60 to 69 are Marine's territory. Numbers 70 to 79 are mostly hotels.

Shakky is an information dealer, so he must be in a lawless zone. I remember it was in Area 13.

Along the way, he eliminated several thieves and human traffickers who wanted to attack him. As for Chen Xing, he found Area 13 and Shakky's bar.

I also encountered many pirates along the way, but because Sabaody Archipelago is very close to Naval Headquarters, few pirates dared to cause trouble on Sabaody Archipelago.

"Shaky's is a rip-off...it's open in a place where people don't shit."

Shakky's bar was easily recognized by Chen Xing because of its weird name. The outer wall of the door is covered with moss.

If Chen Xing hadn't known the plot, he would have never imagined that there were people living here. Or the legendary Pluton Rayleigh.

I glanced around and found that almost no one lived nearby. There were only a few empty small houses nearby. It looked like an isolated city.

Maybe Rayleigh and Shakky just want to live a peaceful life... Maybe, just as they guessed... they are waiting for the beginning of a new era.

If it weren't for the allure of the phantom beast Devil Fruit, Chen Xing really wouldn't want to go to New World so quickly. There are a lot of fun places in this first half...

And... I have to go back to East Blue later. Then we will have to walk a lot more.

"Hey, it doesn't matter...as long as you buy that fruit, everything will be ready."

Slightly...

Gently push open the bar door. Chen Xing walked into the bar.

After a quick glance, this bar is not as big as the restaurant on the ship. There is only a semi-arc bar, a round sofa, and a few small wooden tables. It didn't look like it could even seat twenty people.

Unfortunately, Chen Xing didn't see Rayleigh, only Shakky sitting at the bar smoking a cigarette and drinking wine.

But think about it... That gambler Rayleigh might have gone to the casino again, or he might have sold himself out of money.

"Huh... brother, do you need anything?" Hearing the guests coming in, Shakky turned around and was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Xing. Then he blew out a smoke ring gracefully and asked lightly.

"Give me a copy of the latest newspaper and a reward order."

Chen Xing smiled at Shakky and said, "No matter how many times you see the characters in the plot, you will always feel a little shocked." I am so lucky to be in this world.

"Okay, little brother." Shakky nodded, a little surprised.

How could she not know about a powerful person like Chen Xing whose reputation spread across the sea half a year ago? He tied with Hawkeye, the world's best swordsman, and became a partner with Marine.

A great swordsman who can forge a supremely sharp sword at the age of fifteen, and is accompanied by two Logia Devil Fruit users. In Alabasta, he defeated Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai.

It's just that this kind of person comes to an illegal area just to read newspapers...

After taking the newspaper, Chen Xing read it casually. Chen Xing, who had been brushing up his scores, really didn't understand what interesting things were happening on the sea.

"Is it Ace again..."

As soon as he opened the new issue of the newspaper, Chen Xing saw Ace's photo appearing on it, and Ace's current bounty had increased again, it was already 400 million.

"Shocking! Is it the annihilation of humanity or the disappearance of conscience. Super rookie Fire Fist Ace actually did such a thing to a fish-man?"

"One of the Shichibukai, Kaixia Jinbei and Fire Fist Ace, actually stayed alone on an island for five days and five nights!"

Newspapers with eye-catching headlines like these were brought into his eyes. Chen Xing twitched the corner of his mouth... Could it be that the people working in these newspapers were also time travellers? These headlines looked a bit familiar.

It hasn’t been long since the news last time that Ace entered the New World. Today we saw Ace’s new trend.

Ace and Jinbei still fought like in the plot, fighting for five days and five nights until they were tied. Because Ace rejected Shichibukai's invitation, and now has a tie with Jinbei, one of the Shichibukai, Ace's bounty has reached 400 million.

Since this plot has not changed, Ace has now been beaten down by Whitebeard and taken to the ship. In a while, he will become the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The rest of the news was of little interest to Chen Xing [it was all insignificant matters.

The island of Punk Hazard is destroyed by mysterious forces. The former Marine Admiral Zephyr was equipped with a prosthetic leg and defeated a 300 million Bailey pirate when he took Marine recruits out to sea for assessment.

The rest was news about some rising pirate stars. Except for one named Cavendish, Chen Xing didn't know any of them.

"How about it? Fire Fist Ace is the best newcomer in the past few years. I heard that you occasionally work as a bounty hunter. Are you interested?"

Shakky watched Chen Xing's eyes linger on Ace's reward order for a few seconds and asked lightly.

As an information dealer, Shakky certainly wants to know Chen Xing's purpose. With a little inquiry, he can find out whether Chen Xing wants to attack pirates or is just traveling.

"He's just a child. I don't have the habit of bullying children." Chen Xing shrugged and threw the reward order aside.

If you want to compete now, you have to find at least three Admirals and Four Emperors. A newcomer like Ace who just went overseas is still a little behind.

As for the main characters of these plot lines... they still have the value of their existence yet to be realized.

"child???"

"What an interesting person." After listening to Chen Xing's words, Shakky was stunned for a while, and then laughed lightly.

He doesn't care about reputation, but he is different from other bounty hunters and explorers.

"I heard that this bar also sells information. I'm here to buy information." After chatting for a while, Chen Xing explained his purpose. It was getting late and it was time to go back to blacksmithing.

"I want all the information about Sleeping Ancient Town. Do you have it here?"

"Sleeping Ancient Town?... I haven't heard this name for a long time. Let me look for it." Shakky pinched off the cigarette butt, squatted down, and rummaged in the cabinet.

Chen Xing's information...should be very valuable.
