Chapter 72: Dark King Rayleigh
In the bar, everyone looked at Satan with ill intent.
It was unimaginable that someone actually dared to collect a protection fee in Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
"Has the world gone mad? Such a reckless rookie!"
"Guess if he'll be thrown out of the bar by the proprietress!"
"Looks like there'll be another corpse on the seas tomorrow!"
"Big Sis Shakky, do you need our help?"
"We'd be happy to be of service!"
The pirates laughed heartily.
In their eyes, Satan was a rookie who didn't know the meaning of death.
A person like that deserved a lesson, and it would also be a way to do Shakky a favor.
"If you can subdue the guy who beat a Celestial Dragon and breached Impel Down!"
"I can treat you to a year's worth of drinks!"
Shakky said faintly.
Being in the information business, she had naturally recognized Satan's identity.
A super rookie whose first bounty was as high as 300 million Belly.
His title was the Demon King!
Satan!
"He... that guy is the Demon King Satan!"
"The Demon King Satan whose first bounty was 300 million Belly?"
"For someone like that to appear on the Sabaody Archipelago, isn't this guy afraid of the World Government and the Marines?"
"Such a terrifying rookie, looks like there's nothing we can do!"
The pirates were shocked.
A first bounty of 300 million Belly was something unheard of on these seas.
Even the Pirate King Roger, the Yonko Whitebeard, and other legendary pirates, none of them had reached Satan's level on their first bounty.
A bounty signifies a threat level.
And Satan had beaten a Celestial Dragon and breached Impel Down.
These actions were unprecedented in the entire history of piracy.
And now, they had met him in person.
In that moment, all the pirates lost their nerve.
Before he even made a move, his name alone made them feel despair.
"This drink is on me."
Shakky poured a drink for Satan.
This made the pirates exclaim in shock again, and even feel envious and jealous.
One must know, Shakky never showed favoritism.
For her to treat someone to a drink now was simply an unheard of, unprecedented event.
As expected of a man who shakes the past and present!
His treatment was completely different!
[Ding, the power of Envy has been detected. Absorb?]
"Absorb!"
[Ding, congratulations on successful absorption. Obtained 100 points of Envy, converted to 10 points of strength!]
"Good drink, I like it!"
Satan raised his glass, downed it in one gulp, and laughed heartily.
For a moment, his heroic spirit soared.
Who would have thought that by drinking a glass of wine, he could gain Seven Deadly Sins points?
An unexpected delight!
"Do you want some?"
Shakky asked Kalifa and Blueno, while her eyes kept sizing up Satan.
She had never seen someone like Satan, so arrogant and audacious.
But strangely, the confidence in his words was not off-putting.
And his eyes were full of life, as if they contained the entire world.
Yet he was not wise beyond his years; on the contrary, his every move was reckless.
Beating a Celestial Dragon, breaching Impel Down, every action was taken without considering the consequences.
Shakky couldn't understand Satan; she only felt he was incredibly mysterious.
Her bar had an incredible guest.
"A cocktail for me, please."
"I'll have your strongest liquor!"
Kalifa and Blueno ordered their drinks.
"Your drink is free!"
"For the two of you, that's five hundred thousand Belly each, one million Belly in total!"
"Thank you for your patronage!"
Shakky poured two drinks and faintly blew a smoke ring.
She wanted to test Satan again.
She had treated Satan to a drink, giving him plenty of face.
As for asking Satan's subordinates for money, it was to maintain her own face.
It had to be said, Shakky was a cunning woman.
"One million Belly, isn't that a rip-off!"
As expected, Kalifa and Blueno were incensed.
"Didn't you see the sign outside?"
"Shakky's Rip-Off Bar!"
"It's always been like this here!"
Shakky said faintly.
Hearing this, Kalifa was stunned.
To walk into such a blatant rip-off joint...
How foolish!
No, wait, she was with Satan.
At this, Kalifa looked at Satan and said, "Captain, do you have any money?"
"I never carry money!"
Satan shrugged.
"Then... are we going to dine and dash?"
Blueno asked in a low voice.
He had never done such a thing. Even at his most desperate, he had earned money through his own hard work.
The thought of dining and dashing... it was a little exciting.
"Idiot!"
"I don't have money, but we can pay with something else!"
Satan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
CP9's way of doing things was not very pirate-like.
"Oh? Pay with what?"
Shakky was intrigued.
"Let me ask you, what is this place?" Satan said.
"A bar!"
"Who are those guys?"
"Pirates!"
"No, they're wallets!"
"Every one of their heads is worth a huge sum!"
"I think their heads are enough to pay for our drinks!"
Satan, Kalifa, and Blueno had a back-and-forth exchange.
Pfft!
The next moment, the pirates drinking in the bar spat out their drinks.
Just sitting in a bar, and disaster falls from the sky?
"Hey, Satan, we have no grudge against you, don't say such terrifying things so casually!"
"Using my head to pay your debt will scare someone to death!"
A pirate expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Exchanging your head for money, isn't that normal?"
"Kalifa, Blueno, what do you think?"
Satan remained as calm as ever.
"The captain is right!"
"Pirates are wallets!"
"Perhaps, by cashing in your bounties, we can gather enough money to buy the Adam Wood!"
After Kalifa and Blueno finished speaking, their eyes glinted as they looked at the pirates.
These pirates all had decent bounties. Perhaps they could collect enough to buy the Adam Wood.
After all, this captain of theirs didn't even have money for a drink.
He definitely didn't have the money to buy the Adam Wood.
Pfft.
The pirates spat out their drinks again.
"Everyone, don't be rash, money is a small matter!"
"The drinks are on me!"
The pirates all declared.
Satan and his group were simply too terrifying!
They were clearly pirates, yet they acted like bounty hunters.
But could they dare to be angry?
This was a great pirate with a 300 million Belly bounty!
The being who had beaten a Celestial Dragon and breached Impel Down!
They didn't think they could stand against Satan's group.
Between money and their lives, they of course chose to spend money to avert disaster.
"Then settle the bill!"
"I'm a good person. I never buy on credit, and I never dine and dash!"
Satan said faintly.
But as his words fell, the pirates couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Like hell you don't buy on credit.
The only reason was that they had to pay for him to save their own lives
