Chapter 1346: The Difference Between Being

~7 min read 1,348 words

Sabaody Archipelago, 70th Mangrove District, in a slightly dilapidated inn.

Noisy arguments came from inside the inn. A group of pirates surrounded a bald middle-aged man. The bald middle-aged man was talking with great enthusiasm, saliva flying, and the pirates around him burst into laughter from time to time.

In a place like the Sabaody Archipelago, pirates were the most common guests. The bald middle-aged man was the owner of this inn, and he was very good at dealing with these pirates who were rude in speech and behavior but generous in spending.

Not long after, the pirates around the bald middle-aged man dispersed. The enthusiastic smile on his face vanished, and after a light sneer, he turned and walked into the bar.

Compared to these pirates covered in sweat and stench, the inn owner was more concerned about the guest who had come earlier. It was normal for the other party to bring a woman to the inn, but the bloodstains on the other party made the inn owner very concerned.

In a room on the third floor of the inn, Su Xiao sat leaning against the head of the bed, his bare upper body almost covered in bandages.

"You still haven't told me how you dodged the siege of those Qiyuezhe."

Xiao Mantou held a checker piece in her hand, looking at Su Xiao with eyes full of wonder. Just an hour ago, she thought Su Xiao was definitely going to die.

"..."

Su Xiao let out a long sigh. He didn't want to deal with Xiao Mantou for the time being. This chatty girl, if you replied to her once, she had ten sentences waiting for you.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning: "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and move. One game is 200 Paradise Coins, you're about to be finished."

Although Xiao Mantou didn't understand what Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang meant, she knew that she was about to lose this game of checkers, being brutally abused by a "Husky."

In Xiao Mantou's desperate gaze, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang picked up a checker piece.

"What a disgrace..."

Xiao Mantou messed up her hair with her hands, her expression collapsing. She lost to a dog, and lost 8 games in a row, meaning she had already been scammed out of 1600 Paradise Coins.

Su Xiao, sitting on the bed, tried to move his arms. The soreness all over his body had vanished. In less than a day, he would be able to recover his combat power.

The battle with Mask + Lan Zuo + many lone wolves earlier had caused Su Xiao quite a bit of injury. After Hunter Time ended, he nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

Su Xiao needed to rest as soon as possible. Fortunately, there was plenty of time left for the promotion/main quest.

The Qiyuezhe killed earlier had allowed Su Xiao to obtain a large amount of Pirate Reputation. Or rather, compared to killing enemies in Dressrosa, fighting with Qiyuezhe allowed him to obtain Pirate Reputation faster.

Su Xiao opened the Pirate Reputation ranking, and after seeing the current ranking, he felt relieved.

【First Place: Bai Ye (Third Tier), Pirate Reputation 20258 points.】

【Second Place: Qian Meng (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 18950 points.】

【Third Place: Ku Tu (Fifth Tier), Pirate Reputation 18875 points.】

Su Xiao had surged to the top spot again, with Qian Meng and Ku Tu chasing closely behind. The speed at which the three increased their Pirate Reputation was different.

Su Xiao's improvement method was jumpy, often suddenly increasing by a large margin. Qian Meng was sometimes fast and sometimes slow; after she let herself go earlier, she obtained over 6000 Pirate Reputation points in just 2 hours.

Ku Tu was relatively stable, and his Pirate Reputation rarely showed jumpy increases.

As for the fourth-place player, Yan Zoushou, he could no longer compete on the same stage as the three of them, with a difference of over 10000 points in reputation.

Although Qian Meng and Ku Tu were pressing step by step, Su Xiao had already obtained a trump card. Luo Jie's sidearm in his hand was worth 10000 Pirate Reputation points, which was Su Xiao's "fatal blow" to Qian Meng and Ku Tu.

Of course, Luo Jie's sidearm wasn't worth 10000 Pirate Reputation points right now. He still needed to complete the third ring of the hidden quest: Fencing Stolen Goods, to make this gun valuable.

Appraiser Todd Anderson was a plot character that must be found to complete the third ring of the hidden quest. The other party originally lived in District 21. After the melee in District 21 broke out, this appraiser didn't know where he was hiding.

The Sabaody Archipelago was not small, with 79 districts in total. Searching house by house for this appraiser was clearly unrealistic.

What was most important when wanting to find someone you had never met? The answer was, of course, information channels.

Su Xiao needed to find someone who had eyes and ears everywhere in the Sabaody Archipelago and possessed a perfect underground information organization. Looking at the Pirate World, only one person could do this.

Puru, puru, puru...

Su Xiao held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and strange sounds came from the Den Den Mushi's mouth.

This Den Den Mushi puru-ed for a full half-minute, but still no one answered.

Click.

"What is it?"

Doflamingo's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"How is the situation on Amu's side?"

Su Xiao didn't directly bring up the matter of finding someone.

"Hmm?"

Doflamingo, who was in the Dressrosa underground port, was clearly stunned, his eyes narrowing behind his sunglasses.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he has already arrived at Fish-Man Island."

"Is that so? Just right, I am in the waters near the Sabaody Archipelago."

Hearing this sentence from Su Xiao, Doflamingo was even more puzzled. He always felt that Su Xiao contacting him wasn't just to ask about Amu's situation.

"You contacted me, not just to ask about the progress of this matter, right?"

Doflamingo seemed to have heard something about the situation on the Sabaody Archipelago.

"That's right, help me find someone."

"Find someone?"

"An appraiser."

"Is he a Navy person? Or is he related to these four in the New World?"

"Not related at all."

"Ten minutes later, I'll have Disco contact you."

"Can do."

Su Xiao hung up the Den Den Mushi. Although the two only talked for a few sentences, Su Xiao discovered one point: Doflamingo seemed to no longer care about the situation on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Thinking about it, Doflamingo, who had mastered the artificial Devil Fruit technology, no longer looked down on the slave-selling business. The profits of the two simply couldn't be compared.

Moreover, selling slaves was very hateful. Because of the slave auction house on the Sabaody Archipelago, the Donquixote Family didn't know how many times they had been retaliated against.

Precisely because of this, Doflamingo easily agreed to this matter. Otherwise, with Doflamingo's personality, he would definitely have demanded a large amount of benefits from Su Xiao.

Half an hour later, a man wearing a yellow dome hat and walking with unsteady steps walked on the street. Behind him followed several guards wearing full-body armor.

The man with unsteady steps was Disco. He was barely considered Doflamingo's subordinate, helping Doflamingo manage the slave auction house.

Disco combined "advantages" such as cowardice, cunning, and liking to bully the weak. But he wasn't without real advantages, which was that he had a business mind.

Helping Doflamingo manage the slave auction house, to some extent, Disco was Doflamingo's spokesperson on the Sabaody Archipelago. One could imagine that starting from many years ago, the little brother Disco, who was over 40, had become arrogant.

Disco took his guards and swaggered through the streets. He was notorious on the Sabaody Archipelago. Except for the Celestial Dragons and the Navy, he didn't put anyone else in his eyes. Disco looked down on most pirates, although his immediate boss was originally a pirate.
