Pirates: Being salvaged onto the ship by Roger at the beginning

The old man was very happy.

On the Chabaodi Archipelago, Xia Hao put his hands behind his head, whistled, and walked briskly in the direction of his memory, where there was an old friend.

Twenty minutes later, Xia Hao came to an ordinary tavern called Shaoqi's Rip-off BAR!

"Well, I shouldn't have come to the wrong place!" Xia Hao looked up at the name, and then walked inside with his long legs.

"Crack!"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a group of people in the tavern were drinking and bragging. They didn't care about Xia Hao's arrival at all. After all, there were all kinds of people coming to the tavern, and Xia Hao looked like an ordinary teenager.

Especially after the opening of the Great Pirate Era, there were countless pirates pouring into the Grand Line. As the last island in the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago was a mixed crowd of people, including the World Government, the Navy, pirates, ordinary civilians, and even a few Celestial Dragons occasionally. It was all normal.

"Hey, it's a handsome young man, are you here for a drink?" In front of the counter, the proprietress Xia Qi, whose age did not match her real age, was holding her chin with one hand, smoking a cigarette and puffing out smoke.

"Looking for someone!" Xia Hao answered directly, sitting on a chair.

"Looking for someone? This is just a tavern, where can I find someone, little brother."

"Rayleigh!" Xia Hao opened his mouth and spit out two words in a flat tone. As soon as the voice fell, a strong murderous aura emanated from Xia Qi. In an instant, invisible pressure enveloped the entire tavern. A trace of cold pressure made everyone in the tavern shiver subconsciously. They looked at the clear sky outside and the sun was shining brightly, and scratched their heads.

"I don't understand why it was so cold just now."

"You felt it too?! (⊙o⊙)"

"Yes, yes, I feel the same."

"It's weird, there must be a ghost, no wonder I'm so unlucky today, come on, drink, drink."

...

Everyone in the tavern looked around carefully, whispered and observed everything, and after finding nothing unusual, they drank and boasted again.

"Hahaha, sure enough, it seems that Mr. Rayleigh has settled here", Xia Hao didn't take the murderous aura released by Xia Qi to heart, opened the thermos with clear water on the side, slowly brewed a pot of tea, and then tasted it.

Because Xia Hao knew very well that with Xia Qi's intelligence ability and his relationship with Rayleigh, Xia Qi couldn't possibly not know him.

"Brother Xia Hao, Rayleigh just wants to settle down here peacefully now. If you want to invite him to go to sea again, it is absolutely not allowed," Xia Qi took a puff of cigarette slowly, puffing out smoke. Xia Qi yearns for the quiet and peaceful life now, and also does not want anyone to break it. After so many years of wandering on the Grand Line and being hunted for so many years, Xia Qi knows in her heart how hard it is to have such a stable life.

No one can destroy it! ╰_╯╬

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Aunt Xia Qi to be angry sometimes. It seems that Mr. Rayleigh has really found his happiness. Don't worry, I came here just because I missed him after not seeing him for many years. As for going to sea? I have my own partners!

The era of the previous generation has passed for most of the time, and young people will eventually step onto a new stage!"

"What an interesting brother, you are indeed the same as Rayleigh said, with different thoughts from ordinary people." After Xia Hao stated his intention, Xia Qi once again resumed the intelligence queen who served with a smile, and looked at Xia Hao calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the old guy is at the auction house because he lacks money to buy wine!"

"Auction house?!" When Xia Hao heard where Rayleigh was going, he remembered an interesting thing in his mind. The former vice captain of the Roger Pirates, Pluto Silvers Rayleigh, sold himself to the auction house as a selling item because he had no money.

"What a bad taste, Mr. Rayleigh!"

Xia Hao shook his head, and then asked about the location of the auction house. He walked in the direction indicated and saw a huge building auction site from a distance. As the largest auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago, even the Celestial Dragons often pay attention to it. When they encounter some rare auction items, they will bid with a wealthy attitude.

Behind this auction house is the Don Quixote family, and its owner is even more notorious. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo, a Celestial Dragon who lived in the former Holy Land Marijoa, is an extremely fierce man, and also a man who wants to put the Celestial Dragons down.

A person who has fallen from the altar.

Fifteen minutes later, Xia Hao entered the auction hall as a competitor. Looking at the rich people, nobles of the kingdom and others, Xia Hao had a bold idea in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Mr. Rayleigh finally found a stable home, and it can't be destroyed." After thinking for a while, Xia Hao shook his head to get rid of the strange idea in his mind.

People and objects on the auction table kept going up and down, and the sound of bidding was endless. The corners of the auctioneer's mouth on the auction table were grinning. Obviously, this auction was very successful.

Another auction with a lot of money!

Finally, after Xia Hao was very bored and waited for an hour, Rayleigh's figure slowly appeared on the auction stand.

People were not very interested in this ordinary old man. Only two or three people bid. In the end, 100,000 berries were bought by a man as strong as a pig.

"Ah, what a poor fellow!" Xia Hao shook his head, expressing sympathy for the successful bidder, then stood up from his seat and followed a guard delivering the auction items into a huge underground room in the auction house. There were rich collections here, and not far from the auction items, there was a strictly guarded area with two guards guarding the door.

"It looks like this is it! The treasure storage place of the auction house!" Xia Hao raised the corner of his mouth, and knocked the guard unconscious with a knife at a corner. Then, based on his appearance, Xia Hao directly realized the wood escape, and soon, a person who looked exactly like the guard leader appeared in front of Xia Hao.

"Tap tap tap~"

"Hey, you can~"

"Bang!" The guard created by Xia Hao's wood escape came to the door of the treasure room steadily, and at the moment when the guard asked, he raised his hand and fell with a knife, and the powerful force directly knocked the two unconscious.

All this happened too quickly, and no one reacted at all.

"Dragon-killing magic: Red Flame Dragon Claw!"

Xia Hao raised his hand, and an extremely hot flame emerged from his arm. He then grabbed the solid door and melted a big hole in it. Then he opened the door, and what came into view was a mountain of wealth, a golden scene.

"Hehe, mine, mine, all mine!"
