Chapter 47 Goodbye Robin
"The Land of Gold? Oh, someone asked me about it before, about how the big liar Noland found an island full of gold or something, hahaha, isn't that just a story and a legend?"

On Jaya Island, in a tavern, the owner laughed heartily and said, "Guest, you don't believe that a place full of gold really exists, do you?"

"Yes, people who are desperate for money will believe anything."

Guan Yi nodded; it seemed this was the place.

The Skypiea arc of One Piece is a very distant memory. Apart from Enel, the 'god' who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Guan Yi can't remember much else, only vaguely recalling the name Jaya Island.

But he still clearly remembered the Golden Bell and Enel's Golden Flying Boat, which were all money!
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Sir, you don't seem like someone who's short of money. I've been running this shop for a long time, and I can tell a lot about a customer's identity at a glance. For example, just look at the knife you're carrying at your waist. The thick spine and long blade don't look like an ordinary item."

"Boss, you have a good eye. It's a good knife, but I'm not willing to sell it right now, so it's equivalent to it having no value for the time being."

Guan Yi glanced at the sword hanging at his waist. It was the sword he had stolen from Gekko Moria, the former sword of the swordsman Ryuma. It was the famous sword Shusui, one of the twenty-one Great Grade Swords, and was priceless.

Guan Yi only had a superficial understanding of swordsmanship, and swords were not very useful to him. However, this sword was a 'black sword', and he could still feel a trace of the Armament Haki of the swordsman Ryuma. It was of reference value to Guan Yi, so he carried it with him. He had not yet figured out what to do with it.

"Just kidding, you look like a powerful swordsman, how could you possibly sell your sword?" the shopkeeper said with a forced smile. "So, may we start ordering?"

"Oh...okay, okay." Guan Yi turned her gaze back and pointed to the menu in her hand, saying, "Give me a meat dish and a cherry pie."

The shop owner was taken aback: "It's really rare to see someone order both of these things at the same time..."

He quickly brought over two dishes, and Guan Yi tasted them separately. One was very sweet, and the other was very fragrant.

He paused, then put the meat into the cherry pie, taking a big bite as he asked, "Boss, do you have any recent newspapers here? I lived in a closed-off country for a while; has anything major happened at sea?"

"Yes, please feel free to look around." The shopkeeper took out a stack of newspapers from the drawer and said, "If we're talking about the biggest event that's happened recently, it must be Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, destroying the Gates of Justice, launching a surprise attack on Impel Down, and being defeated and escaping by the Navy, right?"

Guan Yi was taken aback. Seeing this, the boss said, "You really don't know? That was four months ago, wasn't it? In order to rescue Hanafuzha, the former Shichibukai who had been captured by the Navy and imprisoned in Impel Down, Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, launched a surprise attack on the Navy Headquarters without warning. He even breached the Gate of Justice, almost causing a major disaster."

Guan Yi had no idea that capturing Hanafza had triggered such an event, nor had he received a huge sum of money.

But upon reflection, it made sense. It was just a close call, but nothing really happened. Kaido didn't die, and the three admirals were unlikely to die either. The conflict was over, but all was well. Apart from generating some big news, it had almost no impact on the situation in the pirate world.

However, Guy is indeed very resilient; he managed to escape successfully after a surprise attack on Marine Headquarters.

Guan Yi quickly flipped through the old newspapers and found the corresponding description. However, the newspapers did not specify the details of the battle, only stating that the Gate of Justice was violently destroyed and that the Yonko Kaido was defeated and fled.

He then found information in the newspaper about the gathering of the new Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Shortly after Kaido's attack on Marine Headquarters, the newly appointed Seven Warlords of the Sea were summoned by Marine Headquarters for a meeting the contents of which are unknown.

The one who replaced Crocodile was the tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, and the one who replaced Hanafza was the Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro.

The Golden Emperor? I almost forgot about him.

Guan Yi suddenly realized that if he needed money again after exploring the Sky Island, he would go to his place for a visit.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" The tavern was deserted in the morning. With nothing to do, the owner peeked at the newspaper Guan Yi was reading and said, "Ever since the appearance of that 'Seven Warlords of the Sea Nemesis' Flame Tiger Ian, pirates on the sea are no longer so afraid of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea. There are quite a few people who have challenged and died for it. After all, there is only one Flame Tiger Ian."

"Oh, and there's Gecko Moria. This Shichibukai disappeared for a while after being defeated by Ian the Tiger, then reappeared. Unlike the other two, he wasn't dead or captured; he even continued to serve as a Shichibukai. We don't know what happened back then." "Gecko Moria had a subordinate who could fly, and he escaped with him after his defeat. Ian didn't have much of a desire to kill Gecko Moria, so he didn't pursue him."

The boss laughed heartily: "What you said makes perfect sense, sir, it's like you were right there when Flame Tiger and Moonlight Moria were fighting, hahaha... haha... huh?"

As he laughed, his expression grew increasingly stiff. He stared intently at Guan Yi's face, then suddenly began flipping through the other newspapers in the drawer.

Bang! Just then, the tavern door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.

A burly man burst in, brandishing a knife, and roared, "Son of the Devil! Get out here! You've been hiding here, haven't you?!"

He was soaking wet and looked extremely disheveled, as if he had just survived a shipwreck and struggled to crawl back to shore like a water ghost.

The shopkeeper paused, looked up, and said calmly, "The son of a demon? You've come to the wrong place, sir. I've never served any son of a demon here."

"Don't play dumb!" The enraged man seemed to have lost his temper: "She said she confirmed with you that the story of Liar Noland is true! She said that the Golden City really exists, but it was swept up to the sky by the rising ocean currents!"

"If we also ride the rising ocean current and fly into the sky, we can find the Land of Gold and obtain wealth that will last a lifetime!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he cried out, "That damned liar, that devil's son, that vicious woman! My ship is destroyed! All my crew perished at sea, and I'm the only one who came back alive!"

The boss frowned, looking helpless, realizing that communication wouldn't solve the problem.

The person in front of me should be Moguson, the pirate with a bounty of 1200 million Berries. He is a big shot in the Four Seas, but just a small fry in the Grand Line.

Running a tavern on the chaotic Jaya Island would require the owner to have the means and ability to handle similar troublemakers, but it would be very troublesome. And now…

He glanced at the newspaper in his hand, then gave Guan Yi a fawning smile: "I never expected such an important person as you to come to Jaya Island. This meal is on me today. Look at this guy..."

Mogson, on the other side, was taken aback. He glared fiercely at Guan Yi, vaguely recognizing him, but in his rage, he paid no attention to identifying him and roared, "Who are you?! A companion of that demon?!"

Guan Yi casually flicked out a wisp of fire, which instantly evaporated the seawater on his body, as well as his anger, causing him to collapse to the ground with a wail.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. He must be a pirate with a bounty, right? Could you please take him to the nearby Marine branch to exchange for money? I'll pick it up when I come back in a few days and have dinner here."

"Yes! You're welcome anytime!"

The boss smiled warmly as he saw Guan Yi off. Only after Guan Yi disappeared from sight did he breathe a sigh of relief and say, "It really is Yan Hu Ian himself. This is the first time I've met such an important person. I hope I didn't offend him when I spoke earlier?"

He's also looking for the Golden Land? Could the Golden Land really exist? And the Demon Child, is he the woman who asked me about the Golden Land before…?

In the alley not far away, Nico Robin, her face hidden by the brim of her hat, hurried along.

But as she walked out of the alley, she saw a figure already standing there waiting for her, and a helpless smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Ian.”

Guan Yi smiled and waved: "Yes, it's been a long time, Ms. Nico Robin, the devil's child."
