[One Piece] She comes from a private server

After the ship arrived at the Flower City, Alicia planned to say goodbye to her friends. Before that, she handed Brooke a phone bug and said that she would need help from him then. Sanji's expectant eyes fell on Alicia, which meant that he also wanted a phone bug that could keep in communication with Alicia.

Alicia didn't want to give it at all. She always felt that once she gave Sanji a phone bug, she would definitely be accompanied by countless harassing phone calls in the following days. But... Sanji's eyes were filled with anticipation, so sweet. What can she do? She is also very bald. Faced with Sanji like this, she naturally could only refuse.

After saying goodbye to her companions, Alicia took out a fox face and handed it to Ishikawa.

"Wear it if you don't want to reveal your identity."

"cut."

"Brother and younger brother, or master and servant, choose one."

"What?"

“Our identity in the Flower City.”

"I don't want to be a page boy!"

"Then call me brother from now on." Alicia said and took out another face mask and put it on her face, straightened out her somewhat wrinkled clothes, changed her original carefree attitude, straightened her back and clasped her hands, and her whole body Shang Xia's temperament is visibly noble. "Let's go, Rantang."

"Who is Ran Tang? Who?!"

"Or do you want to be recognized as Kamei Ishikawa?"

"... Rantang is just Rantang, then where should we go?"

"Veranda."

"Veranda...huh?!!!"

"The Veranda, it sounds like an interesting place." Roger.

"Reg, if you don't come with us, I have something else to ask of you."

"Eh?"

Recently, two regular visitors have appeared in the corridors of the Flower City. They are two brothers wearing masks. They seem to be young masters from a certain noble family. This is not a strange thing in the verandah. After all, you can always see nobles and nobles coming here to have fun. The only thing that can be considered strange is that these noble brothers will order a different geisha every time, and will ask for a replacement after listening to the last song. Although the bounty is quite large, the geishas will inevitably feel confused.

After hearing the reports from his subordinates on the matter, the arcade owner Sleep Maniac felt that there was something strange in it.

"Boss, looking at how they spend money like water, they are just two noble disciples with novel ideas."

"Continuously changing people is not necessarily a sign of freshness. It may also be a spy sent by someone." Kuang Shilang knocked on his pipe and stood up slowly, with an unpredictable expression, "I'll go take a look."

In the Japanese room on the second floor of the verandah, Alicia was sitting in front of the desk, carefully writing and drawing on the paper with a pen in hand, while Ishikawa was standing in the corner holding a flowerpot and squatting. There was a geisha sitting crookedly in the middle of the box, holding the shamisen and playing the shamisen with a carefree look on her face.

After the song ended, Alicia put down her pen and said tactfully:

"It's a wonderful song. If you're interested, please go down first."

The geisha was a little confused, but she still accepted the reward and left the Japanese room.

"It tastes like chewing wax." Alicia shook her head in disappointment at the closed door of the box.

"It's been a week! What on earth did you do in a place like this?" As soon as Ishikawa put down the flowerpot, he was hit on the head by the brush.

"It's not advisable to be lazy. Keep holding on and keep steady." Alicia threw out the brush and dug her tired ears, sighing sadly. "Shamisen, shamisen, how come everyone is playing shamisen? Isn't it worth it for the shakuhachi? Or is the thirteen string not high-end and classy enough?"

The door of the Japanese room was suddenly opened, and the person who came was none other than Kuang Shilang. Ishikawa was agitated for a moment when he saw Kuangshirou's face, but he suppressed it. Alicia took Ishikawa's reaction into consideration and waved to Ishikawa before Kuseirou spoke.

"Rantang, go wait outside for now."

"……don't want."

"Rantang." Alicia's voice was calm, but with a warning. Ishikawa reluctantly put down the flowerpot and walked out past Kuangseirou.

"I wonder which young master he is from in the Flower Capital?" Kuangshilang closed the door and sat lazily across from Alicia, looking at her with a smile on his villain face.

"My dear, Kusuo Saiki."

"Saiki? There's a last name I've never heard of."

"This is natural. I am not from the country of Wano." Alicia pretended not to see Kuangshilang's slightly unsheathed sword and slowly tapped the table. "Mr. Kuangshilang came just in time. I happen to have something I want to ask your help for."

"People from the outer sea? No wonder the family crest on your hakama looks strange." Kuangshilang's narrowed eyes suddenly turned into two slits, "Why do you have to come to my verandah? If you are trying to gather information, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"Intelligence? I don't need to pry. Just knowing that I know is enough for you to completely pull out the knife and aim it at my neck." Alicia waved her hand nonchalantly, "I need a group of skilled musicians. I only came here because of my hand, but the sounds I heard over the course of a week were not what I expected. That’s why I said that I need Mr. Kuangshilang’s help, and money is not a problem.”

"Your Excellency, you want to prepare for General Orochi's banquet?"

"No."

"No? Then why do you need so many musicians? Did you make a mistake? This is a veranda, and there are only wandering girls and geishas."

The Kuangshilang chewed his pipe and played with Alicia. Even if Alicia revealed her true purpose, he would still go around and talk around, obviously trying to get something valuable to say.

It was so troublesome, Alicia held her forehead and sighed inwardly. This is how you talk to smart people who are too thoughtful. Tell the truth. They suspect you have other motives. Tell lies. Just ask about a few musicians. What kind of lies do you expect her to make up? Decided, let’s go straight to the point.

"Well, that may be a bit rude, but I really hate wasting words, so I'll be honest." Alicia put away the look of a noble noble disciple and said: "I really All I need is a skilled musician, and by the way, you are such a mixed bag on the veranda, it would be better if you could provide me with a quiet place away from the public eye."

"Wait-" Kuangshilang was dumbfounded. "Stop it, I didn't say I wanted to help—"

"Oh, yes, please don't give me a musician who only plays shamisen. What I want is variety, such as five-string pipa, konghou, ruanxian, thirteen-string zither, panpipe, yu, xun, and transverse flute. The more Shakuhachis, the merrier." Alicia paused and thought of the most critical question, "Of course, I don't have any of these instruments. It would be great if Mr. Kuseirou could provide them. Ah, no, I should say Denjiro. gentlemen?"

Kuangshilang's pupils shrank instantly, and the next second he unsheathed his sword. Alicia raised Chakram and held the blade steady, causing the table to split into two halves.

"Ah, I told you that my Honesty Guild is a bit rough. It seems that you are quite unprepared." Alicia turned her wrist and the long knife was deflected by her. At the same time, a leaflet with a code on it was stuffed into Kuangseilang's hand, "Don't accidentally injure friendly forces, Mr. Kuangseilang. If I were an enemy, you and Miss Xiaozi should be pushed to the execution platform right now. Oh, by the way, You may want to know that Kinemon and Momonosuke have returned to the country safely and are currently preparing for the decisive battle."

Kuangshilang said nothing, and Alicia glanced at him curiously.

"Please, what's the use of pretending not to understand now? As soon as I say the name Denjiro and you start swinging the knife at me, you will be completely exposed."

"……"makes sense. After thinking about it for a while, Kuangshilang stuffed the flyer into his lap and sat down again, "Mr. Jin knows who I am? Does he recognize it?"

"He doesn't know." Alicia said with a distressed look on her face as she picked up the ink-stained paper from the table that was split in half. "Really, the score is all dirty. Don't I have to rewrite it? .”

"do not know?"

"Ah, I don't know. It should be said that no one knows except me. I advise you to continue to be patient. The undercover arranged by Orochi over there has not been found out yet."

"Why would you know something that Mr. Jin doesn't even know? I think I've hidden it very well over the years."

"Anyway, it's such a thing, it doesn't matter. So can you help me, Mr. Kuangshilang?"

"...Please, please tidy up and follow me to Sakyo. As for the musicians and instruments you want, I will arrange them for you."
