Pirates' Max Level System

"Are you also from the Liuyun Pirates?" Marco said uncertainly.

"Put aside your doubts. Not many people can do this. The Whitebeard Pirates owe our Liuyun Pirates a devil fruit and a life-saving favor, and now they are about to attack the Liuyun Pirates' Fishman Island. Whitebeard's magnanimity is just this much." Qin Luo mocked directly.

"You are indeed. But please don't slander my father. We, the Whitebeard Pirates, have no intention of attacking Fishman Island." After confirming the identity of his opponent, Marco restrained himself a lot and his attitude became more respectful.

Not to mention the powerful and mysterious monsters within the Liuyun Pirates, the fact that Liuyun saved the lives of the entire Whitebeard Pirates alone makes Marco afraid to act out against them. The members of the Whitebeard Pirates may not necessarily be good people, but when it comes to loyalty and grudges, they are all unquestionable.

"Then why did you come to Fishman Island, for vacation?" Qin Luo said.

"Of course not. Dad said he wouldn't get involved in the mess on Fishman Island, but he also ordered us to keep an eye on the situation on Fishman Island. If necessary, we will provide some small assistance to the Liuyun Pirates."

Marco remembered Whitebeard's order.

"Marco, I know there's been some rift between you and the Liuyun Pirates, but Liuyun saved our lives after all. The Whitebeard Pirates won't get involved in this mess at Fishman Island, but if the Liuyun Pirates can't hold on, you can lead your men to secretly rescue Liuyun's friends and family, and that would be considered repaying the favor of saving our lives that day."

Marco couldn't say this directly to the Ryuun Pirates. It would be like telling them, "You're dead, I'm here to save you." Not only would they not feel grateful, but they might even resort to violence. So, Marco said a modified version.

"Is that really the case?" Qin Luo felt it necessary to re-examine Whitebeard. This man was still a character.

Marco nodded repeatedly. It was true, it must be true, more real than pearls.

"In that case, I have a plan here. It depends on whether your Whitebeard Pirates want to participate. This is also an opportunity. If we seize it, not only will the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates be further improved, but we can also get a promise from the Liuyun Pirates." Qin Luo said with a mysterious smile, looking directly at Marco.

"What plan?" Marco was a little moved by what Qin Luo said.

Qin Luo waved his hand to signal Marco to come closer, and he briefly told him the plan he had just thought of.

Chapter 471 Mermaid Cafe

Silence. After Qin Luo told Marco about the plan, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Marco looked at the mysterious hooded man in front of him, who was probably a member of the Ryuun Pirates, and pondered the feasibility of the plan he mentioned.

Qin Luo stood aside with ease. He could see that Marco was very excited about his plan, but he seemed to have some small doubts.

Qin Luo was not in a hurry. This plan was a rare opportunity for the Whitebeard Pirates. The bait was enough, and it all depended on when the fish would take the bait.

"This matter is too important for me to make the decision. I need to bring the news back to my father and let him make the decision," said Marco.

"Okay, but Whitebeard isn't near Fishman Island. A round trip would take quite a while." Qin Luo didn't force Marco to make a decision right away. The entire plan was a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​Qin Luo, and many details of the plan needed further refinement.

"Don't worry, we have our own way of contacting each other. As long as Dad agrees, the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet will soon set off for Fishman Island. And isn't the planned time at that time? We will definitely make it in time." This time, Marco finally remembered to bring the Den Den Mushi that Whitebeard gave him.

"Okay, I have no problem. If your Whitebeard Pirates are willing to cooperate, you can go find Fisher Tiger in Fishman Street and tell him that you are a collaborator. Then other members of the Liuyun Pirates will naturally come to tell you the complete plan." Qin Luo said.

"Collaborator? I see." Marco murmured. When he came to his senses, Qin Luo was no longer in front of him.

After saying goodbye to Marco, Qin Luo did not return to Fishman Street. Qin Luo was sure that the safety of Fishman Street was handed over to Feidan, and he would not find Tsunade and Taotu there.

Qin Luo was now walking towards Coral Hill. Coral Hill was a prosperous port town in the southeast of Fishman Island and one of the most prosperous areas on Fishman Island.

Compared to the pirate gathering place in Fishman Street, Coral Hill is not only more commercial, but also more popular with women. Qin Luo thinks Taotu and Tsunade are very likely to choose this place.

The Mermaid Café is a famous spot in Coral Hill. Even before the underwater tunnel opened, it was always busy. This café is unique in that all of its servers are young, beautiful mermaids, and it also doubles as a maid café.

"Maid" + "Beautiful Female Mermaid" = "Otaku Paradise" = "Consumer Desire"

There is nothing wrong with this formula, it is close to the level of universal truth. Qin Luo has longed for this mermaid cafe for a long time. He didn't have the opportunity before, and now he just wants to be a customer.

He had to go to the Mermaid Cafe. Even though he still couldn't find Taotu and Tsunade at Coral Hill, Qin Luo still felt it was worth it.

"Welcome, sir, what would you like to order?"

Listen, what a touching voice! Qin Luo's concept of maid cafes has always been limited to Japanese notebooks and film and television works. This is the first time he has seen a real maid cafe.

"Excuse me, is there any Ice and Fire?" Immersed in the meeting, Qin Luo subconsciously ordered a recipe from the Taboo series.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have this in our store." The maid said politely.

"What about the candied banana, or the love meal, the queen's training, etc." Qin Luo opened the menu in his hand and frantically searched for these familiar names.

"Guest, are you here to cause trouble?" The maid waitress was still smiling, and only her clenched fists showed her inner unrest at the moment.

Before the maid completely exploded, Qin Luo quickly ended his pursuit of the truth. Qin Luo took a deep breath. Sure enough, those legendary dish names only existed in those little notebooks.

"Haha, waitress, I was just joking, hahaha." Qin Luo smiled awkwardly and tried to cover it up, but he felt a little guilty when he saw the maid's fake smile. It seemed that he had been a little vulgar just now.

"A cup of coffee and a cake, please."

"Okay, wait a moment." The waiter turned and left, and Qin Luo's eyes followed the waiter, as if they were sticking to him. Qin Luo didn't withdraw his eyes until the waiter disappeared from his sight.

Qin Luo felt that he had become a different person after coming to the Mermaid Cafe. Why hadn't he noticed that young mermaids had such thin waists before?

"Is it beautiful?" A voice suddenly sounded in Qin Luo's ears.

Qin Luo subconsciously told the truth: "Hehehe, of course it looks good." After saying that, a question popped up in Qin Luo's mind, who did you just ask me, why do I have a familiar feeling.

"Then I'll let you see enough." The voice sounded again, and at the same time a stream of air appeared beside Qin Luo's head.

Qin Luo didn't have time to think about it. His instinctive sense of danger made him shrink his head. At the critical moment, a fist flew past Qin Luo's mask but didn't hit him.

The wall next to Qin Luo was not so lucky. It was pierced by the fist. Qin Luo could even see the horrified expressions of the passers-by outside the wall.

Qin Luo thought that if he hadn't ducked his head in time, the wall would have been his head. At this time, Qin Luo also saw clearly the owner of the voice and fist.

Tsunade was standing next to Qin Luo, wiping her hands with a towel, while Taotu followed behind Tsunade with a faint smile.

Qin Luo looked for Tsunade and Momoto for a long time but couldn't find them, but he met them as soon as he arrived at the Mermaid Cafe.

"Tsunade, Momoto, that's great, I've been looking for you." Qin Luo didn't know how many times he had felt embarrassed since entering the Mermaid Cafe. Is this place destined to unlucky me?

"Haha." According to her previous temperament, Tsunade probably wouldn't bother to talk, and would just throw another punch. Tsunade has really changed a lot now. Even in situations like Qin Luo's, where he was caught cheating, he only lost his temper at first.

Thanks to Tsunade's concession, Qin Luo had the opportunity to explain his actions, finally proving that he was indeed looking for them. In fact, to be more precise, he was looking for members of the Liuyun Pirates, even if it was Itachi. But now, survival is necessary.

"How did you recognize me? And why are you here?" After explaining clearly, Qin Luo asked two questions. It can't be such a coincidence, could it be all arranged by Steins;Gate?

Tsunade and Momogi looked at each other and finally decided that Momogi should explain.

Chapter 472: Prophet

Qin Luo didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He just thought that Taotu and Tsunade might be in Coral Hill, but he didn't expect that the two women would be in the Mermaid Cafe.

The Mermaid Cafe has a large number of beautiful mermaid waitresses, so while business is booming, there are also many hooligans who tease the waitresses, or evil customers who deliberately cause trouble.

"Then you will be stationed here?" Qin Luo asked.

The two women nodded, indicating that the situation was similar to what Qin Luo said.

Since the Mermaid Cafe was a frequent accident site and centrally located in Coral Hill, Momosagi and Tsunade decided to station themselves inside. While protecting the Mermaid Cafe, they could also enjoy the cafe's snacks and drinks. Women have always had a low resistance to sweets.

Aren't you guys collecting protection money in disguise? Qin Luo resisted the urge to complain about the two women eating and drinking for free in the store and said, "Then how did you find me?"

"Ever since we set up our station, there have been fewer and fewer people causing trouble. Just now, Charlie said that there was a pervert in the store, so we came over to deal with it. Then we saw a man in a mask covering his entire body, and his voice was so familiar." Tsunade spoke first without waiting for Momoaki to answer.

How could I be a pervert? This is a look of admiration, isn't it? Qin Luo almost tried to resist, but in the end, he was defeated by two pairs of scrutinizing eyes. If you say so, then so be it.

"Xia Li? Who is Xia Li?" Qin Luo felt as if he had heard of this name before, but he couldn't remember the details. It was also possible that he remembered it wrongly. Even though the name Xia Li was not as common as Zhang Wei, it was still a very common name.

"Xia Li is the adopted daughter of the boss here, a mermaid girl who is only four years old. Do you have any feelings for her?" Taotu sat next to Qin Luo, and put her right hand secretly on Qin Luo's left waist, as if she would immediately execute him if Qin Luo didn't answer well.

"No, no, no, of course I don't have any feelings for her. I just found out her name." Qin Luo quickly clarified to avoid the two women labeling him a lolita complex. Three years of bloody profits, the death penalty is not a loss, it really is only a thought.

Qin Luo is indeed interested in this mature and sexy mermaid girl in the future, but not in the way Taotu said.

After confirming that Xia Li is the future owner of the Mermaid Cafe, Qin Luo's long-forgotten memories gradually emerged. Xia Li's role in the original novel is not big, but she is a very special existence, so Qin Luo has a certain impression of her.

From the death of Neptune's Queen Otohime until Luffy arrived at Fishman Island, Shirley was the most influential and charismatic female mermaid. As the owner of a mermaid cafe, she was perhaps even more useful than King Neptune in some ways. This queen possessed a unique charisma.

In addition, Xia Li has another identity, that is, the most famous fortune teller in Fishman Island.

Qin Luo used to be superstitious about science, but after traveling through time, he converted to metaphysics.

Even so, Qin Luo still didn't believe in fortune-telling and prophecy. Fate was hard to predict, especially after Qin Luo became a variable. Qin Luo didn't know if there would be any major changes in the plot later.

But this Shirley was different. This was a divination that boasted a 100% accuracy rate. Even if she couldn't predict the exact time of an event, she never failed, whether it was predicting the advent of the Great Pirate Age at the age of four or later predicting the demise of Whitebeard before it even happened.

Wait, 4 years old, which means Charlie has already started her first divination of major historical events.

"Does this Xia Li like things related to servant divination?" Qin Luo suddenly asked Taotu beside him.

"Uh, yes, Charlie often holds a magic crystal. No, how did you know that? You've specifically investigated Charlie, you perverted pervert with a fetish for young girls."

Taotu frowned, realizing that the matter was not simple, and stood up excitedly. She looked down at Qin Luo with a series of three words of quality, not caring that her raised voice and the content attracted countless eyes in the coffee shop.

It was not until Tsunade urgently pulled Momoaki's hand that Momoaki realized that she had overreacted. She blushed and sat down again.

Qin Luo had developed a thick skin today. He had been embarrassed so many times that he could ignore those strange looks.

"Taotu, what are you thinking about? Let's not talk about this. Did Xia Li make a prophecy about the Great Pirate Era?" Qin Luo lowered his voice. There were many people in the Mermaid Cafe paying attention to them. He didn't want to make this mysterious thing known to the whole city. It could be regarded as a kind of protection for Xia Li, the future queen.

"I seem to have heard this from the owner of the Mermaid Cafe. At the beginning of the year, Xia Li made a prediction about this. But the boss and the others all regarded her as a child's prank and luck." Tsunade said softly, seeing that Qin Luo was referring to something else.

At the beginning of the year, before Roger's execution, did Poseidon also give a prophet in addition to Shirahoshi? This Charlie must be an ironclad prophet. If there's a way to check and kill her, then check and kill her. Pass.

"Pay attention to this Xia Li. I feel the power of destiny in her." Qin Luo said.

"Didn't you say you had never seen Xia Li?" Taotu looked at Qin Luo suspiciously.

Qin Luo was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he had read the original novel and knew that Xia Li had the ability to divine servants with 100% accuracy. He wanted to use mysterious explanations to fool people because he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Don't worry about it. If you have the chance, pay more attention to this little mermaid girl named Charlie. If necessary, provide her with some help and books on prophecy. Forget about the books. I'll ask O'Hara and his group for them later." Qin Luo said solemnly.

Seeing that Qin Luo was not joking, Taotu and Tsunade agreed even though they didn't understand what he was thinking.

"When will you return to Dragon Palace City? I have something to discuss with you." After explaining the protection of the future mermaid queen, Qin Luo remembered the purpose of this trip.

"There's nothing to do now, but it's boring in Ryugu Castle. There are free snacks and drinks here." Taotu said as she ate the cake ordered by Qin Luo, and Tsunade nodded in agreement.

Hey, is it really okay for you to say that? The waiter is right next to us. And this is the cake I ordered. Qin Luo looked at the two of them speechlessly.

"Go inform Itachi and Kyuubi. We'll meet in Ryugu Castle later. There are some things I need to discuss with you."

Inviting the Whitebeard Pirates was just a casual move made by Qin Luo, but the invitation had already been sent out, and Qin Luo felt it was necessary to discuss it.

Chapter 473: Assigning Tasks

With Taotu and Tsunade showing up, the other members of the Liuyun Pirates soon received the news that Qin Luo had returned to Ryugu Castle and began to return.

"Hello, boss." The first one to arrive was Jiuwei. It turned into a little fox and kicked its four short legs, but its speed was not slow at all.

Just a second after the Nine-Tails arrived, Itachi and Hidan also arrived at the same time. Together with the two women who had returned early and Neptune who had settled the accounts, all the people were present.

Itachi, who always had a blank expression, bowed to Qin Luo and stood aside without saying anything. In stark contrast to him, Feidan started chattering as soon as he came in.

"The boss is back. How about the wild flowers outside? Are they more fragrant than the flowers at home?" Adhering to the principle of seeking death, Fei Duan, who has a serious tendency to self-harm, irritated Qin Luo and the two women as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hidan was met with Tsunade's powerful punch. Before he could figure out what was happening, Hidan was hit in the stomach by Tsunade's full force punch. He immediately bent over like a cooked shrimp and fell to the ground.

Tsunade said that this was the first time she had such a great time fighting since she lost Jiraiya, the high-level human sandbag.

"Tsunade, are you sick? Can't you be a little gentler like a woman?" Hidan, lying on the ground, was still not quiet and kept talking to Tsunade.

Before Tsunade exploded, Qin Luo quickly separated the two, otherwise there would be no need to start now.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Qin Luo said and waved to Neptune.

Neptune, who had been waiting, began to report the information he had collected after receiving Qin Luo's signal.

The information Neptune collected was not secret; it was obtained from pirates in Fishman Street and organizations that sold intelligence. Some of it had even been published in newspapers.

There was no other way. Qin Luo hadn't even started to build his own intelligence system yet. And Fishman Island, which was previously isolated from information and had difficulty integrating into human society, had even less hope.

According to Neptune, the most common news heard recently is about the Undead Fleet.

The Undead Fleet's threat grew ever greater. After leaving O'Hara, it proceeded to annihilate several port cities. Many residents of the West Sea port towns fled their cities, seeking refuge inland or at sea. There were also signs that the Undead Fleet was moving towards the South Sea.

The other navy massacred O'Hara. The team claimed that O'Hara summoned the Undead Fleet while studying ancient taboos, and finally suffered the consequences and was massacred by the Undead Fleet.

As for the Red Earl, this person has never appeared since he appeared in Chitose Castle, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

It's not that Neptune is incompetent, but that's all the intelligence he can gather. Qin Luo once again felt how necessary it was to build his own intelligence system, at least he wouldn't be blind.

In the end, Qin Luo added some information about the Undead Fleet and O'Hara to everyone.

"Neptune, according to what you said, the navy didn't stop the Ghost Fleet?" Tsunade was worthy of being the Hokage, and she found some things from Neptune's limited information.

Neptune shook his head, not sure whether he wanted to say that the navy did not stop it or that he didn't know.

"The Navy is a coward. They won't fight the Undead until they find a way to effectively eliminate them. They sold Chitose Castle to the Navy, and the place where another Undead fleet was sealed was also easily handed over by the Navy. I don't think it's likely that the Navy will take action to protect those civilians now."

Qin Luo has the most say on Tsunade's issue, as he witnessed the navy's despicable behavior throughout the entire process.
