It was a completely different world compared to the famine-stricken villages outside.
Uchiha Xin's journey has attracted considerable attention.
It's not because of my status.
It's not because he's so generous with his money.
Wano Country has been closed off from the world for many years, making it difficult for news from the outside world to get in.
Although news of Uchiha Xin's killing of Red-Haired and the destruction of the Red Hair Pirates had spread throughout the seas, few people in Wano Country had heard of it.
Even if someone has read newspapers, it would be difficult for them to connect the photos in the newspapers with the person in front of them.
On the street, a vendor held the gold he had just received, so much so that he could barely straighten his back.
"Sir, you've given too much."
These things aren't even worth a piece of gold.
Uchiha Xin took a jug of sake.
The rest is a reward for you.
The vendor hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly hid the gold in his pocket.
"Thank you, sir!"
Several people nearby all looked over.
"Is that real gold?"
"You only get this big piece after buying a bottle of wine?"
Who exactly is he?
"Judging from their clothes, they don't seem to be from the Flower Capital."
Some people wanted to follow.
But after Uchiha Xin turned the corner, those people disappeared from his sight.
A moment later, he stopped in front of a brothel.
Several brightly dressed women stood outside the door.
They saw Uchiha Xin and immediately surrounded him.
"Is this your first time here, sir?"
"Please come in quickly."
"I will certainly satisfy you today."
A woman reached out to take his arm.
Uchiha Xin dodged to the side.
The woman froze, but dared not show her displeasure on her face.
Uchiha Xin casually tossed out a piece of gold.
The madam, who was in charge of greeting guests, quickly took them.
The gold feels very heavy.
The madam took a bite of the corner of the brothel, and her smile immediately widened.
"Real gold!"
"My lord, please take a seat!"
She held the gold in both hands, her attitude several times more respectful than before.
The customers inside the brothel also turned their heads.
Flower Capital short of wealthy businessmen.
It's still rare to see someone throw out such a large piece of gold as soon as they walk in.
Two guests, holding wine glasses, were talking in hushed tones.
"Whose son is he?"
"Never seen it before."
"He must be an important person from another village."
"Do other villages have this kind of financial resources?"
Uchiha Xin ignored the others.
The madam personally led him to the largest room on the second floor.
The drinks arrived quickly.
Several maids knelt by the table, ready to pour him wine.
Uchiha Xin took out another piece of gold and placed it on the table.
The madam stared at the gold, her breathing quickening.
What are your orders, sir?
"Bring all the women here."
The madam was taken aback.
"All?"
"Leave no one alive."
"This..."
The madam glanced at the gold on the table and immediately changed her tune.
"No problem!"
"If the adults like them, I'll call them all over right away!"
Not long after, the door opened again.
One woman after another entered the room.
They were lined up in a row.
Some people are wearing kimonos.
Someone is holding a folding fan.
Some people were carrying musical instruments.
The madam stood to the side, smiling as she introduced the place.
"Sir, these are the most popular girls here."
"Those who can sing, dance, and play the shamisen are all here."
If you like any of them, just keep them.
"If the adults are willing, more can stay."
A woman stepped forward and knelt down beside Uchiha Xin.
"Sir, let me pour you some wine."
She picked up the wine jug, but before she could get close, Uchiha Xin raised his hand to stop her.
"No need."
The woman had no choice but to put down the wine pot.
Uchiha Xin scanned everyone in the room.
People can be good-looking or bad-looking.
She has a pretty good figure.
But these people stayed in brothels year-round, and their behavior was all about pleasing their customers.
The scent of face powder mixed in completely killed his interest.
The madam was still giving her introduction.
"This one is the best dancer."
"That one is from Kibi; her piano skills are quite famous in the Flower Capital."
"And her..."
Uchiha Xin interrupted him directly.
"None of those will work."
The madam's smile vanished.
The woman in the room also quieted down.
The woman holding the wine jug couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, you didn't even look at it carefully, how can you say we're no good?"
The other person was also somewhat dissatisfied.
"Many nobles in the Flower Capital are frequent visitors here."
"Surely none of them would be to your liking?"
Uchiha Xin leaned back in his seat.
"Too much of a worldly, gritty vibe."
"I don't like it."
The women's faces turned pale.
They were courtesans.
With people coming and going every day, it's impossible to avoid the air of worldly dust and grime.
Seeing this, the madam quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"The adults have high standards; it's just that they aren't fortunate enough to have them."
What are you all still standing there for?
"Everyone, step back."
The women dared not disobey and left the room one by one.
But they didn't disperse immediately after leaving the room.
"That person is too picky."
"He's the one who told us all to come here."
"After watching it, they complained about us again."
"Does having money give you the right to humiliate people like this?"
An older woman standing nearby lowered her voice.
"Say less."
"He can casually produce two pieces of gold; his identity must be extraordinary."
"If we really anger him, Mom won't stand up for us."
The group exchanged glances and could only remain silent.
Inside the room, the madam carefully put away the gold on the table.
"Sir, all the girls here have arrived."
If you still can't find a suitable one, you can tell me what type you like.
"I'll go find it for you again."
Uchiha Xin raised his glass.
"I want to see Komurasaki."
The madam paused.
"Does Your Excellency wish to see the courtesan?"
"Good."
"This..."
The madam hesitated.
Komurasaki was no ordinary courtesan.
She is the most famous courtesan in the Flower Capital.
Many people want to see her every day.
Wealthy businessman.
warrior.
noble.
Even Kurozumi Orochi himself was her guest.
Even if an ordinary person brings money, they may not be able to see it.
"Your Excellency is unaware of this."
"Miss Komurasaki already has plans for today."
"And if you want to see her, you need to do it in advance..."
Bang.
Another piece of gold landed on the table.
The madam stopped talking.
She glanced at the gold, then at Uchiha Xin.
"In advance what?"
"Uchiha Xin asked."
The madam immediately picked up the gold.
"No need to plan ahead!"
"It is Komurasaki's good fortune that the master is willing to see her."
"I'll go and fetch her right now."
She turned to leave.
Uchiha Xin threw out another piece of gold.
The madam hurriedly caught it.
The gold received today exceeds the brothel's usual income for several months.
She could no longer suppress the smile on her face.
"Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"Once Komurasaki arrives, all of you may leave."
Uchiha Xin said:
"No one is allowed to come in and disturb me without my permission."
The madam clung tightly to the gold.
"Don't worry, sir."
Even if the General's Mansion comes, I will stop them for you first.
She immediately left the room.
