On the middle street of the royal capital, there is a remote tavern, a Gothic building painted in a thick milky white. The only magical thing is that there are no windows. The plaque at the door reads "The Bell Tavern".
Looking at the half-open door of the pub, a hazy light shone through. The pub was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, mixed with noise, laughter and music.
Jiang Bo stepped into the threshold. A man who looked like a supervisor saw Jiang Bo come in and whispered a few words to the tall and beautiful waitress beside him.
The waiter nodded and came over to greet Jiang Bo.
"Hello, are you Captain Jiang Bo?" The waiter bowed cautiously to Jiang Bo and asked.
"It's me."
"Okay, Captain Jiang Bo, please follow me!" After hearing this, the waiter quickly led Jiang Bo inside. He had to be careful. Although pirates often visited this tavern, she had never seen a pirate with a bounty of 400 million.
The supervisor had previously said that the guest was a big pirate, and to prevent them from making a mistake, he showed her the bounty. The photo on it looked very young, but she didn't dare say a word about the high bounty of 400 million.
She complained in her heart that the supervisor said that young and handsome pirates prefer beautiful female waitresses, and forced her to take the blame, and also talked about increasing the bonus. She guessed that the cowardly supervisor was just afraid to meet this man.
But thinking that this man is quite handsome, he probably wouldn't do anything extremely evil. The waiter secretly glanced at Jiang Bo and thought to himself.
Jiang Bo followed behind and looked at the tavern. The entire tavern was light-proof. All the light sources came from the various colored lights in the room. The glowing gems, swaying colored candles, and crystal lamps reflected the colorful lights, which was magnificent.
It is in stark contrast to its plain and simple appearance.
Under the dim lights, the bartender swayed his body quietly, mixing a colorful cocktail with great elegance; the flashing neon lights attracted one hungry and comforted soul after another, making them forget decadence.
The darkness in the bar is so eerie that it makes people's eyes blurry, and it feels like a drop of water is dripping thinly and shallowly into a wine glass filled with colorful liquid and slowly sinking.
Some danced amidst the shimmering lights and hazy music, some sat leisurely at the bar, watching the bartender juggle the bottle; some were noisy, lonely, excited, subdued, powerful, helpless. The bottle swam obediently between their left and right hands, bouncing up and down, docile yet pretentious.
This reminded Jiang Bo of a saying: There is no more beautiful encounter, the only way to save yourself is to get drunk.
Sure enough, this tavern was quite interesting, completely different from his imagination of a chaotic place with rough men toasting each other and speaking vulgar language.
"It's nice here." Jiang Bo praised, and this was the truth.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Our tavern has a history of several decades in the Kingdom of Prodens. The owner is a prince of the royal family. Although it looks shabby on the outside, in fact only distinguished guests are qualified to enter this tavern." The waiter explained carefully.
"Oh? Am I also considered a distinguished guest?" Jiang Bo was surprised.
"Yes, any pirate with a bounty over 50 million and who doesn't bully civilians can come here to drink. This also includes navy officers, government officials, or other prestigious figures who come to the country on business. Because it's a tavern run by the royal family, everyone who comes here will give the royal family face, and any grudges will be settled outside. Those who come here are purely here to get drunk."
The waiter went on to explain that Jiang Bo was very interested in this tavern, and his opinion of the Kingdom of Prodens rose to a higher level. Some navy had extremely bad attitudes towards pirates, but they would actually give them face here.
The World Government has a lot of intelligence personnel, but they won't cause trouble here. This is entirely due to the deterrent power from the Kingdom of Prodens.
The waiter took Jiang Bo to the door of a private room. He opened the door and said to Jiang Bo respectfully, "Captain Jiang Bo, the person who invited you here is in this room. I will be guarding the door. If you have any questions, please tell me."
"Okay!" Jiang Bo nodded, then walked into the private room.
What came into view was a beautiful lady of about twenty-three or twenty-four years old with blue-gray hair, thick lips, wearing a striped short shirt with flower buttons, a lace scarf, and a spotted wide headscarf.
Jiang Bo guessed that this person was Huai Dibei. He looked similar to the original novel, only younger. One hand was resting on the table, and the other hand was constantly shaking the red wine glass in his hand.
On the right side of the table was a square folded cloak with a purple-blue skull hat on top, and he looked at Jiang Bo with an interested expression on his face.
"Hello, Jiang Bo!" Jiang Bo sat opposite Huai Dibei and introduced himself politely.
"Hello, Whiteybee!" Whiteybee also introduced himself.
"Then I wonder what Captain Whitebeard wants to say by inviting me here?" Jiang Bo was very confused. His previous thought was that the Whitebeard Pirates were very angry after knowing that he had killed Carmenio, and wanted to teach him a lesson.
But when they met, he found that Wadibei's strength was only over 3000, and sending Wadibei to teach him a lesson was far from enough, so what was she here for?
"I'm here today to inspect my future captain!" Whitey took a sip of the red wine in the glass, then looked at Jiang Bo with a smile.
Jiang Bo was so shocked that he almost crushed the bottle of wine he had just picked up.
"What did you say?" Jiang Bo asked uncertainly.
"Talk while you drink! The wine in this tavern is good, especially this glass of red wine, which is brewed by the owner himself. The name of the wine is also very nice, called IrislaevigataRE, which can be translated as "The Return of the Swallow". It tastes good."
