The uninvited guest before them was none other than an old monster who single-handedly fought against the Pirate King Pirate King Roger and the Whitebeard Pirates.
This sudden visit was completely unexpected, even by Shakky, who always considered herself to be able to foresee things.
"Hmph, a bunch of filthy blood, they don't even deserve to be sucked."
Redfield took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his mouth, and walked straight over the corpse. He glanced at Bai Yu's back one last time before looking at Shakky.
" Shakky, let me think, how long has it been since we last met? It seems like at least forty-five years."
"Back then, on Rocks ' ship, you were just a greenhorn, yet you controlled all the intelligence about the Rocks Pirates. Even Whitebeard and the others didn't dare to underestimate you. I never imagined that forty years later, you'd be running a tavern in this run-down place."
"However, you don't need to be nervous. I'm just here to ask you for a piece of information. Just tell me everything you know, and I'll turn around and leave immediately."
"Of course, I hope your abilities haven't deteriorated; otherwise, I wouldn't mind clearing your head a bit."
Boom!
A surge of violent Conqueror's Haki, like a raging tide, swept outwards and instantly poured onto Shakky.
Feeling the immense aura rushing towards her, Shakky's expression changed slightly.
As the former intelligence chief of the Rocks Pirates, Shakky had naturally met Redfield several times.
I also know perfectly well why Redfield lived his entire life as a solitary individual.
The main reason is his unusually eccentric and aloof temperament.
Redfield seemed easy to talk to, but Shakky knew perfectly well that if this matter wasn't handled properly, it would definitely lead to disaster.
After secretly pressing the Den Den Mushi) to contact Rayleigh, Shakky spoke again, a cigarette dangling from her lips.
" Redfield, you've exhausted your intimidation tactics. I'm very familiar with these little tricks."
"You came here in person this time to find the bat form of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, right?"
"However, unfortunately, I don't know where this fruit is located for the time being."
"If Mr. Red can wait, I can help you look again."
Shakky knew exactly what Redfield, a young and ambitious tycoon, wanted even when he was young.
I never expected that after decades, we would meet again in this abandoned little shop.
Looking at Shakky's smiling face, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.
" Shakky, have you really met this old guy? Don't forget, his Observation Haki has mutated; he can easily see into people's hearts and read your memories."
"He specifically asked you to guess why he came, so that you would actively dredge up your memories and try to find out more."
In the world of Eight Gates Pirate King, there are Observation Haki.
Among them are the Mantra -like abilities of a god, the Future Sight of Katakuri the Half-Immortal, and Redfield's memory reading.
These are all variations that can only be evolved from cultivating Observation Haki to its ultimate level.
However, compared to others, Redfield's Observation Haki was something he was born with.
Being able to read minds and memories has made Redfield accustomed to the coldness of human nature.
This is precisely why Redfield is so unwilling to interact with other people.
This ultimately led to his aloof personality; compared to other pirates who formed gangs, Redfield always remained alone.
"Just who are you, brat? How do you know my background so well? It seems I, Red Count, haven't been completely forgotten by this vast sea."
"However, Shakky, that brat isn't wrong either. You clearly know that I can steal other people's memories, yet you still claim you don't know where the fruit is."
"Looks like you're refusing a polite toast only to be forced to drink a penalty shot."
"I know you just informed Rayleigh, but I believe that before Rayleigh returns, I can teach you a lesson you won't forget and make you confess everything you know."
"Don't worry, I've already killed everyone around here. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to your rescue."
Bang!
With a single step, the elderly Redfield vanished into thin air as if by magic.
It appeared again, having already traversed more than ten meters, and stood right in front of Shakky.
That withered, skeletal right hand moved with Inazuma speed, grabbing for Shakky's throat.
The sudden turn of events caused Shakky's expression to change drastically.
As the intelligence chief of the Rocks Pirates, Shakky's strength is indeed much greater than that of ordinary pirates.
However, this only applies to ordinary pirates. Once they truly hit the ceiling of the era, her meager martial arts skills are no match for them.
Faced with the sharp claws that came straight at him, as sharp as withered trees, he could only hastily spit out the cigarette he was holding in his mouth like a bullet.
At the same time, taking advantage of this moment to catch his breath, he slammed both hands on the bar counter and quickly retreated backward.
"Bang!"
The cigarette struck the withered claws instantly, sparks flying, but Redfield didn't pause for a second.
With a cold snort, the umbrella he had been holding suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, unleashing an incomparably fierce aura.
With a sudden upward thrust, accompanied by a whooshing sound, it aimed directly at Shakky's chest.
At the same time, the left hand, which had transformed from a withered tree into sharp claws, had already gripped Shakky's arm, leaving Shakky with no way to escape.
They could only watch helplessly as they took the hit.
Bang!
A wine glass suddenly flew horizontally and struck the umbrella first.
The immense impact caused the wine glass to shatter.
At the same time, the umbrella that was originally aimed at Shakky was also knocked away.
Taking advantage of this brief respite, Shakky Armament Haki in both arms, making her incredibly soft and boneless, like an eel.
His right hand, which had been held by Redfield, was forced to slip out of his claws. He quickly retreated seven or eight steps before looking at Redfield, who had suddenly attacked, with a livid expression.
Redfield's face darkened immediately after his attack missed.
Feeling the lingering shock of the force in his hand, Redfield coldly stared at the figure who had just temporarily let go, sitting at the bar with his back turned.
However, Redfield never expected that his momentary kindness would become a stone that shot itself in the foot.
"Kid, I was planning to kill you last, but I didn't expect you to dare ruin my plans. To be able to withstand my attack just now, you're at least not some nobody."
"I've been imprisoned for decades, but during that time I've heard quite a few things. Tell me your name, and I'm glad I can take you as my underling."
As he spoke, Redfield's innate Observation Haki quickly spread out, locking onto Bai Yu. He desperately wanted to use this method, along with verbal provocation, to read the uninvited guest's memories.
However, no matter how hard he tried, this tried-and-true method of reading memories seemed to sink without a trace. The words that followed made his expression suddenly tighten.
"I'm the kind of person who'll scare you to death."
