Chapter 124 The Past of the Nine Snakes, Roger, Shaki, and Gloria's Triangular Relationship
Chapter 124 The Past of Nine Serpents, the Love Triangle Between Roger, Shakky, and Gloria (with Shakky illustration)
[Sabaody Archipelago, Tree No. 21]
"Oh no!!"
"You're saying you're the vice-captain of the Kuja Pirates!?"
In the backyard of Lemon Bar, a glass was slammed down, splashing the liquor everywhere.
Bazel stared at Shakky in shock.
"But you look very young. Did you become the first mate more than ten years ago?!"
Shakky glanced at Bazel, a slight smile playing on her lips, unable to suppress the pleasure in her heart.
"Even if you try to flatter me, it won't work. Back in the day, I was the Nine-Snake Queen, even more famous than Gloriosa."
"If you had been born a decade or two earlier, maybe I would have fallen for you instead of that vanished bastard Rayleigh!"
Queen remained unmoved. Having spent so many days in Shakky's bar, he had already heard the backstory of Shakky and the Kuja Pirates.
"What, you've got your eye on me?"
Bazel scratched his head, deciding to let things take their course when it came to relationships.
Universal love is good, pure love is also very exciting, NTR is particularly interesting, but the idea of NTR ends abruptly in the summer.
He then looked at the other woman on the table.
"Gloriosa, you've been here for so many days, it can't just be for more than just killing time, right?"
Her drinking motion stopped, and under the gaze of several people, Gloria Osa sighed:
"As expected of the one known as the Brain of a Hundred Beasts, I don't have that much time to waste here. I'm just here to do you beasts a favor."
"A favor?" Bazel frowned slightly. "Tell me about it. I hope your information is valuable enough."
"Buena Festa, that young man will soon be hosting a grand banquet, and the prize for the winner is said to be the treasure of Lox."
Rocks' Treasure?
Instead of showing joy or greed, Bazel laughed mockingly:
"If that Rocks had left any treasure behind, John and Shiki would have divided it up long ago. Where did you hear that false information?"
"It was Buena Festa who told me this himself."
Gloriosa replied:
"But that's not important. What's important is something else."
"Kaido, do you still remember the Silver Axe?"
Kaido put down his wine glass, frowned, and said, "Didn't that guy, Nobita, disappear? All I know is that he survived after Rocks was defeated."
But its exact location is unclear.
"He's back. Buena Festa somehow found the silver axe and convinced him to attend this grand banquet."
Gloriosa's words made Kaido's expression turn ugly.
"Kaido-san, is that guy strong?" Bazel asked curiously.
"It's not just about being strong; that guy was a man who could hold his own against that bastard Shiki when he was on the ship."
Composing himself, Kaido raised his glass again and drank heartily.
bang~
"However~"
Wiping the white foam from his lips with the back of his hand, Kaido's expression gradually changed from gloomy to ferocious.
"That's what makes it so interesting! I definitely won't miss that big battle!!"
"Gloriosa, besides Silver Axe and the others, are there any other participants?"
"I don't know the specific list, but there is one person you might need to meet."
"Catfish Fishman Babel, former combatant and helmsman of the Rocks Pirates."
Gloria took out a photograph from her small handbag; it was a picture of Babel.
He was burly, with a flat nose, thick upper and lower lips, and two tufts of black hair on either side that were hard to tell whether they were whiskers or tendrils.
He wore a string of unidentified prayer beads around his neck, and his wide-open eyes looked quite fierce.
"If you want to attend that grand banquet, you might as well first secure an ally."
"Having more friends can never be a bad thing."
Bazel felt that there was something strange about the way Gloriosa was looking at him.
"Allies? How many of you members of the Rocks are normal people?"
"As for Hiroshi, needless to say, that bastard's rebellious phase lasted his entire life, along with the white-bearded man who loved taking in sons and the aunt who loved having children."
He stopped abruptly, shaking his head and not continuing.
Kaido is, after all, the captain, and he still needs to be given face in front of outsiders.
Compared to other great pirates, Kaido has quite a few problems.
She has a low alcohol tolerance but enjoys drinking; when drunk, she either acts spoiled or cries loudly.
Sometimes, when he gets drunk, he'll go outside and try to commit suicide.
Bazel counted on his fingers: if the remaining remnants of the Lox army all chose to attend that grand banquet, the number of people they could form an alliance with would be very limited.
"Are you Kuja participating?"
"Why would we participate in such a boring battle?"
Xia Qi rolled her eyes:
"It's all covered in stinky men's sweat, it's disgusting, I'm not going!"
"What if Rayleigh goes?" Bazel asked leisurely.
Shakky was silent for a few seconds before looking at Gloria Osa: "Captain, please reorganize our voyage!"
"I think it's time for the Kuja Pirates to return to the seas and give the men of the ocean a real shock!"
Gloria Osa pushed away Shakky's increasingly agitated face:
"Now you know to call me Captain? What were you doing before? You never went anywhere, no matter what!"
"And Shakky, don't forget that you only like Rayleigh, but everyone else in the Roger Pirates likes you except for Rayleigh."
"Especially Roger, back then he couldn't even attack you!"
"Ara~"
Xia Qi suddenly changed her expression, and her eyes became watery.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he deliberately turned his face to the side.
"Gloriosa, are you jealous of me?"
"You like Roger, right? But he's attracted to my beauty. It's really a dilemma~"
"Who made me young and beautiful, back then—"
"35 years old," Gloriosa murmured, raising her glass with a calm expression.
Xia Qi was stunned: "What did you say?"
"I'm telling you, you're 35 years old, and soon you'll be just like me."
Gloria Osa looked Shaki up and down, lingering on her for a long time.
"You must be really annoyed right now, right?"
"Women face many problems as they get older, such as sagging skin and a less youthful appearance."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I couldn't even charm Rayleigh when I was young, I guess it'll be even harder now that I'm older~"
Xia Qi lowered her head, her body trembling.
His fists were clenched tightly.
But the sarcastic Gloria didn't notice and continued to berate Shakky.
"You're just like me, it's unrequited love. Stop pretending to be a perfect couple. I was a million times prettier than you when I was young!"
wrong!
Bazel suddenly pulled Kaido and Queen backward.
Kaido: "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk, or a fight is about to break out."
Bazel lowered his voice to a minimum, his eyes occasionally sweeping over Shakky, who had already turned evil.
"Hey Loki, hurry up and tear that roof down to block our way!"
"Gloriosa misspoke. Shakky is about to go berserk. I don't want to get involved in a fight between two women."
"Oh, thank you so much for reminding me. I didn't realize it until you said it. I didn't know I was becoming an old woman."
Xia Qi raised her head with a forced smile, her expression twisted and awkward.
Only then did Gloriosa realize that something was wrong.
He put down his wine glass and backed away with a smile.
"Xia, Xiaqi, I still have things to do on Amazon Lily, so I'll go back and help Toritoma with her official duties."
"Hey Bazel, this is Babel's Den Den Mushi number. Whether you want to go or not is up to you."
Before leaving, Gloriosa tossed a crumpled piece of paper toward Bazel.
Where are you going?
Xia Qi closed the backyard gate and bent down to pick up the brick on the ground.
"Captain Gloria, it's been a long time since we've had a proper chat. Let this frumpy woman see how strong you are now!"
Quinn trembled behind the rooftop "shield" not far away.
"A demon has appeared behind Sister Shakky!!"
"Boss Kaido, we need to get out of here quickly, or we'll be in big trouble if we get dragged into this!"
This time, Kaido didn't mock Queen's cowardice; instead, he looked at Bazel with a serious expression.
"Bazaar, we're retreating!"
"This is the captain's order!"
