"Do you enjoy having someone pour your drinks for you?"
"Why don't I trouble myself and pour one for you?"
The clear voice reached Blamenco and the other pirates' ears, and the snickering throughout the tavern immediately fell silent.
The pirates looked toward the bar. When they saw the profile and back of the red-haired young man standing beside Blamenco, their faces first showed confusion, which gradually turned into deep shock.
Blamenco's expression stiffened slightly when he felt the force on his shoulder. Frowning, he slowly turned his head. The moment he saw the newcomer's face, his pupils contracted sharply, and he could not help crying out:
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi!!!"
The one who had swiftly entered the tavern with the breeze was none other than Tsugikuni Yoriichi, who had rushed over from Cake Island.
After landing on the island, his Observation Haki had blanketed the entire place as he investigated the situation. Yoriichi's Observation Haki allowed him to sense human emotions.
The intense fear in the hearts of the tavern-owning couple had immediately caught Yoriichi's attention.
Even Yoriichi had not expected to come upon such a scene when he arrived at the tavern.
"Was it you who injured Major Terry Black?"
Yoriichi stood slightly sideways, leaning against the bar as he gently lifted the wine bottle. The mouth of the bottle lightly tapped against the rim of the glass before Blamenco, and red wine slowly flowed out. Before long, Blamenco's glass was full.
Blamenco could not sense any emotion in Yoriichi's voice, but he could feel an intense pressure coming from him.
This pressure did not come from any aura Yoriichi was releasing. It came from within Blamenco himself.
"Gulp." Blamenco swallowed softly, his throat dry.
"I've never heard of the person you mentioned."
Tsugikuni Yoriichi was famous far and wide.
