Chapter 220 Bazel: Rayleigh, you good-for-nothing gigolo!
South China Sea, Baterila Island.
As he watched the solitary red figure depart, Bazel's thoughts churned.
In the original story, Roger knew Rouge so early on?
Or is it because of the changes caused by this butterfly that travels through time?
"Roger—"
Receiving Roger's message this time was truly unexpected; he never imagined he would encounter Baron Ryderfield in such a remote corner of the South China Sea.
They didn't even consider that the other party was attracted by the Roger Pirates.
As for where his crew is now—
Barzel suddenly remembered what Barrorick Redfield had just said.
Those giants fled into the calm zone of the South China Sea.
and many more!
Barzel mentally assumed Barolorik's route forward.
First, he fought with Whitebeard in the park, then ran off somewhere to recover from his injuries.
They overheard information from the Roger Pirates who were hiding and followed them to the South Blue.
Paradise, the Calm Belt, and the Roger Pirates hiding —
"I see. You guys are really bold, hiding on Amazon Lily, which is so close to headquarters!"
Bazel smirked and said mockingly, "No wonder Garp couldn't find you guys; he was playing the 'blind spot' trick."
"Rayleigh, you womanizer!"

Snap—
"I'm Xia Qi, who is this?"
"It's me, Shakky. You're on Amazon Lily right now, right?"
—The Calm Belt, Amazon Lily—
Xia Qi glanced at Rayleigh beside her and felt inexplicably guilty.
Why are you asking this?
Ray used lip reading to ask who it was.
Xia Qi took out a wanted poster from her bag.
The image above is of Bazel.
"Rayleigh, you were definitely eavesdropping, weren't you? Don't pretend. I got some information about you from Baroric and deduced that your Roger Pirates are on Amazon Lily."
Rayleigh was stunned.
"You good-for-nothing who lives off a woman."
"Hello!"
Provoked by Bazel, Rayleigh immediately grabbed the microphone, his eyes wide with fury.
"Who are you calling a gigolo? When did I ever live off a woman?!"
"The former emperor of Snake Island was Xia Qi."
The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) had no expression.
"The current emperor is Toritoma, the messenger of that old woman, Gloriaosa, right?"
"Your Roger Pirates have been hiding on Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt under Shakky's name, with plenty of food and drink. When you're bored, you can even go for a stroll on Amazon Lily. You're living a pretty good life."
Rayleigh's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but he couldn't refute it.
The other party was telling the truth.
Because of Xia Qi, they did indeed secretly hide on Amazon Lily.
"—In short, I didn't live off a woman!"
Seeing Rayleigh's self-righteous yet defiant expression, the Den Den Mushi chuckled mockingly, "What, did you expend physical effort?"
"That's because he's being kept by Xia Qi, what a waste."
"You bastard—" Rayleigh glared fiercely at the Den Den Mushi, "I do what I want, what's it to you!"
?
'
Shakky snatched the Den Den Mushi away, saying helplessly, "Alright, you two stop arguing. Bazel, what's the matter that you need me for?"
"Rich lady sister~"
Upon hearing Xia Qi's voice, the Den Den Mushi immediately put on a sweet smile.
"How about we make a deal?"
"You bastard, talk back properly!"
Rayleigh tried to grab the microphone, but Shakky subdued him with a single hand.
"Shawn would never keep a gigolo like you!"
"Shut up, Rayleigh! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Shakky glared at Rayleigh: "If you say another word, I'll have Tori Tomma stop you from drinking!"
Rayleigh immediately fell silent, but his frustrated expression was so hilariously obvious that anyone who saw it couldn't help but chuckle.
"I have a friend who owns a piece of land near the calm zone in the South China Sea. When you go out to raid, you should avoid that area."
"Or, how about the two of us bypass Rayleigh and form a strategic alliance?"
"Feed—" Rayleigh had barely opened his mouth when Shakky glared at him and shut him up.
"I'm not the emperor, young man Bazel. You should be saying that to Toritoma."
The Den Den Mushi still had that same smiling face: "I see~~ Speaking of which, Shakky, you don't want to see Amazon Lily destroyed by Garp's lightning, right?"
Xia Qi was stunned.
"If you're willing to agree~~"
"I can keep my mouth shut and not make anonymous tip-off calls to the Navy."
"Of course, I'm not forcing you to agree, it's just that my mouth sometimes gets itchy~"
Shakky sighed as she realized what was happening, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Rayleigh.
"I understand, I'll talk to Toritoma, but Bazel, you have to tell me what the benefits are, right?"
"The alliance between the two countries cannot be maintained by personal feelings."
"Hailou Stone."
The Den Den Mushi's smile now carried a hint of confidence and composure.
"On behalf of the Beasts Pirates, I can sell you a batch of Seastone arrows and weapons at below market price."
"But this batch of weapons is only for use on Amazon Lily. It must never appear in Roger's crew."
Xia Qi's expression suddenly turned serious: "Seastone? Are you sure? I have recently heard that Umit is smuggling seastone."
"I just didn't expect that the Beasts Pirates would be standing behind him."
"You don't need to worry about that. If you're willing to form an alliance, I can prioritize providing a batch of Seastone weapons, which are extremely rare outside, to your Nine-Eyed Island."
"The condition is that you are not allowed to rob that place, and you must help me protect it in your spare time."
Shakky didn't hesitate for long and immediately agreed: "I can agree to the alliance on behalf of Tori Tomoma, but there is a condition: the alliance partner cannot be your Beast Pirates, but that small island near the Calm Belt that you mentioned."
Hearing this, Bazel breathed a sigh of relief. With the Red Earl and Snake Island as double insurance for the future, and perhaps the giants of the South China Sea could also be added.
The safety of the Kingdom of Solvi was finally somewhat guaranteed; at least when he was traveling, he didn't have to worry too much about the safety of his hometown.
"Deal. I'll have someone deliver the Alliance gift to you as soon as it's finished. Oh, and please tell Rayleigh."
Xia Qi glanced at the pouting, sulking man next to her.
"you say."
"Be careful, if you live off your wife too much, you won't be able to stand up straight."
The Den Den Mushi hung up immediately after leaving that message.
Shakky put away the Den Den Mushi, crossed her arms, and looked down at Rayleigh, who was gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath.
"Rayleigh"
Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you?
Rayleigh instantly transformed into a timid lamb, his body shrinking smaller and smaller.
Shaki took out a bunch of keys and tossed them to Rayleigh with a smile.
"You know where my house is. I'll be waiting for you at home tonight. You won't leave me alone in an empty house like before, will you?"
Rayleigh felt his lips tremble and his eyes filled with grief.
"Um, Xia Qi—"
"Do you want to see the Navy destroy our Amazon Lily?"
Shakky cupped Rayleigh's face in her hands, saying incredulously, "Rayleigh, I've suffered so much for you, and you won't even come into my house?"
"I, I————"
Rayleigh was almost in tears; it was true that he liked Shakky.
However, he didn't want to be bound by emotions and lose his freedom.
That is precisely why he has been unwilling to give a direct response.
"Fine, if you don't want to come, just give the key to another man."
Xia Qi turned around and slumped down, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Anyway, you wouldn't even like me, boohoo~"
"That bastard Bazel——————"
Rayleigh sighed and put the key away.
"I understand, I'll go tonight."
Shakky immediately went from crying to laughing, cupped Rayleigh's face in her hands, kissed him, and then left with cheerful steps.
"What a wonderful day!"
"Hmph hmph hmph♪~~~"
"That's really true, sigh!"
After another heavy sigh, Rayleigh took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Roger's Den Den Mushi number.
Snap—
"Wait, Rouge! That's not what I meant! Listen to me—bang!"
The background of the Den Den Mushi immediately turned gray and black, and the Mushi's face showed a frustrated expression.
"Who—I'm not in the mood to talk right now—"
"Serves him right," Rayleigh said with a smug grin.
"Feed Rayleigh! You bastard, are you looking for a thrill? I'm the captain!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Bazel guessed our whereabouts. He just contacted Shakky's Den Den Mushi directly."
Immediately afterwards, Rayleigh recounted what had just happened.
"The Beasts Pirates have probably discovered a seastone vein, but it doesn't affect us much."
"
"With the exception of a few individuals, the Roger Pirates are all Devil Fruit users, but Bazel's current position is somewhat out of place."
"We met that guy Barrorick Redfield shortly after we arrived in the South China Sea, right? It was from what he said that Bazel deduced where we were hiding."
"That means Bazeir is currently in the South China Sea!"
Rising from his deck chair by the sea, Rayleigh gazed at the ocean with a solemn expression.
"You need to be careful. It's not clear yet whether the entire Beasts Pirates are here, or just Bazel."
"If it's the former, you absolutely cannot defeat them alone with Shanks and Buggy!"
The Den Den Mushi remained calm: "Bazel, relax, Rayleigh. That young man's decision to commit suicide must have been for other reasons."
"Perhaps he already anticipated that you would inform me of this."
"and,"
"The reason he contacted Xia Qi was actually just to test us. If you hadn't spoken up at that time, he wouldn't have been able to confirm our whereabouts."
"All things considered, Rayleigh, it was you, you idiot, who gave us away!"
