Chapter 8
In the Sabaody Archipelago, in a lawless area, in a remote alley
"Xia Qi, I know you are alone, free from worries and can do whatever you want, but it also means that you....Isolated and helpless! Catch her!"
The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses no longer looked at Xia Qi, turned around and walked away. Dozens of burly men suddenly appeared around and surrounded Xia Qi.
"Over the years, I guess you have saved at least 500 million Baileys, right? Xia Qi."
Today, when he heard that Xia Qi had made tens of millions of Baileys again, he couldn't help but take action to rob the thieves. She was just a small intelligence hunter, but I was determined to take her out today.
"What a hypocrite, you bastard!"
‘"Bamboo extortion·lime powder"
Xia Qi knocked on the huge bamboo pole next to her, and countless white lime powder fell from the air. When the eyes of these sturdy men were touched, they immediately cried out in pain. Quicklime heats up when it comes into contact with water, and these people's eyes have been severely burned, which may directly cause blindness.
Xia Qi had already lifted the cover of the sewer, jumped down, and got into the complex sewer, and disappeared.
"Damn, bitch, is she dead? If she isn't, chase her! I'm going to kill her today!"
The middle-aged man in the golden frame used his footwork and quickly jumped into the sewer. He looked at the sewers in three directions and saw footprints. He quickly chased after them, but after a while, he found that the footprints were gone.
"Damn it, I got cheated. Damn it!"
The middle-aged man in the golden frame already knew that he was cheated by Xia Qi. He had made a false footprint in advance and had already escaped from another direction. He could only return empty-handed and cursed inwardly!
Now that the enemy has been alerted, Xia Qi is probably already far away and will never contact him or sell information to him again. He has no chance to rob him.
"These bastards, none of them are good people, luckily I have something to hide, otherwise I would have suffered a loss!"
Xia Qi jumped out of the sewer and looked at this familiar city. It seems that she has to go to another island to live.
"Wait, I think I thought of someone!"
Xia Qi thought of the cold man who killed the poison cannon Sarin in one move. According to previous intelligence, Brook should be a passionate musician. How could he become this cold and cruel person who doesn't allow strangers to approach him? It seems that the destruction of the pirate group has completely changed his personality.
I heard that he might regroup the crew and go out to sea again. I feel that I can join his new pirate group now. I just do it!
Xia Qi packed up her belongings and hid them first, and went to spy on Brook's intentions.
···
The headquarters of the World Economic News Agency.
Brook is trying to make his soul come out of his body, to achieve an out-of-body experience. This soul state can ignore physical obstacles such as walls to spy on information.
He had escaped from hell in a soul state and floated into a body. Now he tried to concentrate his soul and float out of the body again.
After continuous efforts, a pale soul Brook emerged. It was only Brook's upper body. The lower body soul was connected to Brook's body. Soul Brook began to fly around in the room, and his tail was always connected to the body, as if it could not be disconnected!
Soul Brook floated to the window and was about to go out through the window, when he saw a short-haired black woman holding a knife. With a snap, she pried open the window and came face to face with soul Brook, staring at each other.
Brook was not in an unfamiliar environment, so he did not even turn on the life detection. Unexpectedly, this thief came to the window.
""Ah~, ghost!"
A sharp female voice shook out from Xia Qi's mouth, scaring Soul Brook so much that he instantly shrank back into his body. His blue and dead eyes opened again, but Xia Qi had already fallen.
Many guards from the news agency also quickly surrounded this side, surrounding Xia Qi. Moore Thomas also rushed out in his pajamas. Antonio woke up and looked at the surrounded short-haired black woman!
"Isn't this the girl who helped the captain in exchange for the bounty during the day?
Antonio woke up and looked at the girl lying on the ground in confusion.
"Brother Brook, are you hurt?"
Moore Thomas looked at Brook standing at the window and asked him as a routine question. He didn't think this girl could hurt Brook.
"What do you want to do?"
Brooke jumped down from the upstairs window and looked at the familiar short-haired woman.
"Are you a human or a ghost?
Xia Qi was frightened by Brooke's soul state. She actually saw a transparent ghost like Brooke.
"Devil Fruit power, get it? Tell me what you want, or go to jail!"
"No, no, my name is Xia Qi, didn't I make more than 20 million Baileys from you today? Now I'm being hunted, so I want to join you!"
Xia Qi shook her little hand and explained hurriedly, fearing that if she spoke slowly, she would be caught and sent to the navy.
"You said your name is Xia Qi? Okay, you will be my second crew member from now on."
Brooke looked at the short-haired woman and saw a hint of the black-bellied female boss who was blackmailing him. He accepted her and hoped that she could grow into the tough pirate that Garp said.
"That's it? That's it? You're not lying to me, are you?!"
"I told you, Xia Qi, you are already my second crew member.
Brooke stared at Xia Qi with his cold blue eyes and said again
"I understand, Captain Brook, you have to protect me well!"
Xia Qi finally got up, patted the dust off her buttocks, and rubbed her painful buttocks.
"What are your specialties?"
"He gathers intelligence, knows navigation, and is a good cook!"
"Then your main job will be a navigator and your secondary job will be an intelligence officer. Antonio is a very good intelligence officer, so you can teach him."
Brooke dismissed Moore Thomas and the guards and went back to sleep. He took Xia Qi and Antonio into the room to familiarize themselves with their respective abilities and specialties.
"Den Den Mushi Devil Fruit user? That's too good for an intelligence agent!"
"Yes, I can communicate with the little snails directly, and I can also eavesdrop on their conversations, hehe~"
Antonio laughed embarrassedly, eavesdropping on the little snails was very rude
"Antonio currently has most of the functions of a Den Den Mushi, but he has little social experience and basically knows nothing. You can teach him how to distinguish and collect key intelligence."
As Brooke bought a variety of Den Den Mushi, Antonio could not only chat with Den Den Mushi, but also learn to turn the Broadcast Den Den Mushi into a loud speaker, take pictures like a camera Den Den Mushi, and print out the signals by sending them to a specific fax machine. He even learned some of the unique mimicry of the Den Den Mushi....
Brooke thinks that as Antonio continues to develop, he may be able to master all the functions of Den Den Mushi. As long as he has a newly discovered Den Den Mushi, he will be able to learn the corresponding functions.
"Too strong, I also want to have this Den Den Mushi Devil Fruit!"
Xia Qi looked at Antonio with golden eyes, scaring him to move closer to Captain Brook.
