At the door of the "Shakky's Rip-off Bar" store full of stories, Allen, with his usual unruly and free and easy attitude, suddenly opened the door and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Give me a glass of juice and Rum wine!"
This sound seemed to have a unique magic power, instantly breaking the original peaceful atmosphere in the store.
Shakky, this woman who has gone through many vicissitudes but is still graceful and graceful, heard this extremely familiar voice. She turned her head subconsciously, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, covered her mouth lightly and chuckled. The laughter was full of doting and kindness, and then she responded crisply, "Okay, little Allen baby!"
Allen heard this response, and a bright smile broke out on his face. His white teeth were particularly conspicuous under the dim lighting in the store. He grinned and said, "Long time no see, auntie!"
Then, his eyes scanned the store and soon locked on Rayleigh sitting in the corner.
He strode over, put his hand naturally on Rayleigh's shoulder, and said with a bit of ridicule, "Isn't this our Pluton·Rayleigh?"
"Why have you become so crotchless after not seeing each other for a while?"
Rayleigh, this once powerful figure on the sea, is now sitting there leisurely wearing a pair of loose shorts.
Faced with Allen's teasing, he was not annoyed. Instead, he showed a gentle smile in his eyes and responded jokingly, "Why does Master Allen have time to see me, an old man? Don't you have to accompany your little Sister?"
Allen sat down aside nonchalantly, and then said seriously, "I happened to have something to do here, so I stopped by to see you."
At this time, Shakky had skillfully mixed a glass of mixed wine. She walked to the bar with elegant steps, gently placed the wine glass on the table, and then asked with concern, "Did something happen?"
Allen reached out to pick up the wine glass, first put it to the tip of his nose and gently smelled the mellow aroma of the wine, then took a small sip, letting the spicy and sweet flavors dance on the tip of his tongue, and then slowly responded, "It's nothing important, it's just that the government gave me a large sum of money to help me do something!"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Rayleigh's wine glass inadvertently, as if he noticed something. Then he pointed at Rayleigh's glass and said to Shakky, "Auntie, fill it up for this old man. I'll cover all the money for his drinks for the rest of his life!"
As he spoke, he took out 6 briefcases from Kamui Space like magic, and then opened them one by one. In an instant, stacks of brand-new banknotes appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the red color almost dazzled people's eyes.
When Rayleigh saw that the six boxes on the table were all filled with banknotes, the original relaxation and comfort on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of horror. His eyes widened and he said with a hint of disbelief in his voice, "With so much money, are you blackmailing World Government again?"
Before Allen could explain, Rayleigh seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said to Shakky, "Quickly, clean up, let's go out and hide for a while!"
Allen looked at Rayleigh, who was facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help but said speechlessly, "Do you need to be so afraid? Didn't I just say that this is the reward the government gave me for working!"
Shakky also asked with confusion on his face, "I want you to help with the work? So are you World Government's person now?"
As he said that, Shakky's eyes revealed a hint of worry, while Rayleigh also stared at Allen closely with a scrutinizing and sizing look, as if he wanted to see some clues from his expression.
Feeling the disappointment and confusion in the eyes of the two people, Allen interrupted helplessly, "Okay, stop thinking about it, this is all a plan of those five old men, I will use it, and I will take the money and not work anyway!"
When the two of them heard what Allen said, their curiosity was instantly ignited. They really couldn't figure out what exactly Five Elders needed Allen, the government's number one criminal, to do.
So, the two asked in unison, "What did they ask you to do?"
Allen showed a mysterious smile on his face and said slowly, "You want me to take action against Shanks!"
As soon as these words came out, both Shakky and Rayleigh seemed to have heard a big joke. They looked at each other with expressions on their faces full of speechlessness.
Rayleigh was the first to speak, "Don't the government know that Shanks was also in Roger Pirates before?"
Allen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "They know!"
Seeing the increasingly confused looks in their eyes, Allen patiently explained, "The 2 billion here is just a deposit, and there will be another 8 billion after the deal is completed."
Hearing this, Rayleigh and Shakky widened their eyes, and the doubts in their eyes almost overflowed.
Shakky asked in surprise, "I want to give away 8 billion more. World Government Is it too much money and no place to spend it?"
Allen continued to explain with a smile, "They are not stupid, because Shanks robbed the government ship some time ago, and there was something important that Shanks took away. They wanted me to snatch it back."
"They also know that the chance of me taking action is very small, but they want to give it a try. Anyway, if I don't take action, I will lose 2 billion. If I do take action and take the things back, although they will give me an extra 8 billion, the relationship between me and Shanks will become life-or-death. This is their intention."
Shakky's curiosity had reached its peak, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What is worth 10 billion Berry?"
The smile on Allen's face became more mysterious. He leaned slightly closer to Shakky and said softly, "Paramecia·Rubber-Rubber Fruit!"
"What?"
When Shakky heard this answer, the expression on her face froze instantly. She really couldn't believe that this Rubber-Rubber Fruit, which usually seemed inconspicuous and unknown, was actually worth 10 billion Berry.
She doesn't know, but that doesn't mean Rayleigh doesn't know. There are some unknown secrets hidden behind this fruit, and Rayleigh happens to know a thing or two.
But at this moment, Rayleigh's heart was also full of doubts, because from Allen's words, he felt that Allen also seemed to know the secret of this fruit very well.
So, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you also know the secret of this fruit?"
Shakky was confused by the conversation between the two. She had no idea that this seemingly ordinary fruit really had a special meaning.
Allen nodded slightly, his expression became serious, and said, "You know, the original name of this fruit should be Zoan·Mythical Zoan·Sun God·Nika form, which is also the so-called Warrior of Liberation."
"However, this fruit was just rotten rubber before Awakening. After Awakening, you can fight as you like and realize your imagination. However, no one has developed this fruit into the Awakening form for 800 years."
"And the name Paramecia·Rubber-Rubber Fruit was renamed by World Government just to make the world forget the original name of this fruit. Not many people know about it now."
