This Navy Vice Admiral really doesn't have good luck.
No, perhaps it should be said that the Vice Admiral's vision is too limited. On this vast sea, he offends those who cannot be offended.
Shakky doesn't consider herself a big shot...
But dealing with a Navy fool of a Vice Admiral isn't a problem.
Shakky looked at Uehara Naraku, shook her head, and lit another cigarette for herself: "I know your Excellency's identity, but ten million Belly, I can't come up with it. However, we can find another solution..."
Shakky slowly puffed out a smoke ring and spoke leisurely: "I heard that the Navy Vice Admiral at the Shampodi Branch Base was played by an old man... How about this, I'll bring that old man here, and we'll forget about the ten million Belly..."
This Navy Vice Admiral...
Better let Dark King Rayleigh handle it!
Shakky glanced at Uehara Naraku's expression, calmly continued: "If Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku still wants that old man captured to vent your anger, you just need to pay me one million Belly..."
"Isn't that too much?"
Uehara Naraku shook his head, sighed, moved his feet to the bar counter, and watched Shakky from inside the bar: "Hey, in the eyes of you big people, do I, this small character, seem that dumb?"
Damn it...
That's too much!
Rayleigh robbed his money...
Now Shakky wants to cheat him out of money...
"..."
Hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Shakky raised her eyebrows, glanced at Uehara Naraku in surprise, finally showing a bit more interest: "So this little guy really knows our identity and is pretending to be ignorant in front of that guy..."
Interesting...
This little guy doesn't seem so incompetent after all!
Uehara Naraku sat on the bar stool, sighed, and said: "That's the legendary Great Pirate Dark King Rayleigh!"
Uehara Naraku looked up at Shakky, squinted his eyes, and smiled: "Miss Shakky, I'm just a mere Navy Vice Admiral. How can I be his match?"
"I see..."
Shakky slowly nodded, then suddenly changed the topic: "Since you know our identity, I won't beat around the bush. Little guy, you know the name of this bar, right? This is the Extortion Bar, and just now, you tried to extort me..."
"You can also extort me."
Uehara Naraku's expression gradually became serious, speaking in a solemn tone: "Miss Shakky, I know you sell any intelligence on the sea, and I came here exactly for that purpose.
If our Navy publicly executes Fire Fist Ace and Crocus, Red-haired Shanks... will Dark King Rayleigh participate in the war?"
"Five billion Belly."
Shakky calmly spoke a number, drew a puff of cigarette, and gently continued: "As long as you can afford it, I can tell you any intelligence."
"The price really isn't low..."
Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, showing a wry smile on his face.
Shakky looked deeply at Uehara Naraku, somewhat curious, and continued: "I didn't expect this little guy wasn't so incompetent, actually thinking to ask such a question... Sengoku didn't send you to Shampodi just to investigate this matter, did he?"
Such a thing...
It's indeed possible!
Uehara Naraku bypassed Shakky's question, took a coin from his pocket, placed it on the table, and softly asked: "Let's still talk about the price of the intelligence! The price you offered is too high, a bit cheaper, how about fifty Belly?"
"My information is never cheap."
Shakky slowly puffed the smoke, softly continued: "Five billion Belly, and you can let your Navy know whether Dark King Rayleigh will participate in the war. If that guy enters, he has the power to influence the war, so this price is already very cheap..."
To be honest.
This price isn't expensive.
In the case of someone like Dark King Rayleigh, who, even with age, still has Admiral-level strength, if he participates, the Navy needs to make arrangements in advance to deal with him; if Dark King Rayleigh doesn't participate, the Navy can better handle the Whitebeard Pirates...
After Shakky finished explaining her price, she looked directly at Uehara Naraku, and in a low voice said: "As long as you spend this money, you can buy yourself peace of mind..."
"It's too expensive..."
Uehara Naraku watched Shakky and softly continued: "Shakky, from the way you sound, it seems like Dark King Rayleigh won't be involved in this war, right..."
"Who knows..."
Shakky blew a smoke ring, unwilling to answer this question.
In fact, Shakky's words implied exactly that.
According to Shakky, if she could use this fake information to mislead Uehara Naraku, who is not an ordinary Navy Vice Admiral, to let the Navy lower their guard against Dark King Rayleigh, Dark King Rayleigh's chances of returning safely from the war would be greater!
This was Shakky's little scheme...
Because Shakky hoped Rayleigh could safely return!
If it were any other Navy Vice Admiral, Shakky's words would probably work; however, she didn't know, this was Uehara Naraku giving her the last chance...
Uehara Naraku looked at Shakky with a playful expression, slowly spoke, revealing Shakky's thoughts: "Shakky, Dark King Rayleigh will definitely go to war... right? But you want him to return safely... is that it?"
"..."
A trace of a different color flashed in Shakky's eyes.
Just when Shakky wanted to say something, Uehara Naraku, however, looked at Shakky and casually waved it off: "Forget it, I'm not interested in hearing your lies, besides..."
