One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 587: Drunken Fish Bar
Although it is daytime now, due to the special location of Yuren Street, it is still no different from night. This led to bars, discos and other places choosing to take root in Yuren Street as soon as they were introduced. After all, it is really hard to find a place with suitable business hours 24 hours a day.

The Zuiyu Bar is a time-honored brand here. It was already here when Yuren Street had not yet been rectified. It could be said to be the gathering place for many Yuren gangsters back then. After Yuren Street was rectified, Zuiyu Bar took advantage of the favorable conditions and, with the assistance of the Dragon King Palace, grew bigger and stronger, becoming the top bar in the Yuren Commercial and Entertainment Street.

When Shanks and Buggy approached, two well-dressed fish-man guards made a symbolic inquiry. They let them in only after confirming that they were only there to drink and not to have fun for some special purpose. Even so, the two men specifically reminded them that this was a regular bar without any miscellaneous stuff, and that teasing the waiters was prohibited. The female fish-men inside were all guests, not special practitioners.

This attitude made Shanks and Buggy wonder if they had come to the wrong place. This attitude really didn't seem like an illegal place, and it didn't seem like the place that the sneaky guy had entered.

"It might be two layers of skin. Let's go in and take a look first."

Buggy saw through Shanks' thoughts and whispered that he and others also began to wonder what was going on. However, if they didn't go in, no one could tell what the situation was inside. It might be all show and no substance, just like the World Government that shouts for justice all day long, but when has there ever been true justice?
"Yes, let's go."

Shanks nodded, agreeing with Buggy, and they opened the door and walked into the bar together.

When pushing open the door, the first thing that came out was the deafening sound of music. Unlike Jing Bar, Zuiyu Bar was a pure hybrid of a disco and a bar. The wild heavy metal music was deafening. In the dark bar, only the neon lights and light balls were flashing. In the middle was the dance floor, where many mermaids and fishmen were twisting their bodies. A few humans could be seen among them, who should be outsiders like Shanks and his friends. Surrounding it were red round booths, many of which were filled with people at the moment. On the side was a bar counter, where three or four bartenders were busy. Could you see couples talking about love?

"This music is really loud."

Shanks couldn't help but pick his ears. He preferred music like jazz, and this deafening heavy metal was really unbearable for him.

"It's OK, just a little difficult to speak, but everything else is fine."

On the contrary, Bucky really likes this kind of heavy metal rock, and the atmosphere on the scene makes him feel good too.

"Forget it, I can still bear it. Let's see if we can find the guy you just saw."

Shanks slapped his ears, regretting coming in. The sound really made him feel dizzy, but since he was already in, he wouldn't say much. Business was more important. However, he didn't see the man just now, and only Buggy caught a glimpse of him, so he mainly relied on Buggy.

"I'm looking for it, but we can't just sit there and do nothing. Let's go order a drink first. If we don't drink at a bar, people will easily suspect us."

Buggy and Shanks walked towards the bar arm in arm, observing each booth as they walked. This kind of place was the most suitable for hiding people. After all, it was easy to fool people under the dim light. However, until the two of them walked to the bar, they did not see anyone who looked like the shifty guy just now.

"You two are outsiders, right? It's your first time here. What would you like to drink? Would you like a drink of the specialty of the Drunken Fish Bar? Sleepy Fish? Or the Ocean Fantasy made by Fishman Island? If you can't drink strong liquor, we also have a special seaweed wine here. It's not strong, but it's very special."

As soon as the two of them sat down, the bartender came up to them impatiently and asked. It was obvious that they were very familiar with humans and did not feel unfamiliar at all. He began to fluently announce the names of the dishes, oh no, the names of the drinks.

"Two cups of each. It's my first time here, so I want to try something new."

Bucky said after throwing down a stack of Baileys.

"Wow, you two bosses are really generous. Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

After a complicated and gorgeous preparation, six glasses of wine were brought in front of the two. Shanks and Buggy picked up the light blue wine called Sleepy Fish at the same time and took a sip. Suddenly, a strange taste rushed into their mouths. The first reaction was that it was strong, very strong. This strong wine even felt like burning the mouth, but then the feeling turned into refreshing. The dryness just now was instantly replaced by freshness, and replaced by a wonderful sense of comfort, and then there was a sudden surge of drunkenness. Buggy and Shanks were both people who could drink, and they could drink a thousand glasses of ordinary wine without getting drunk, but this time they felt drunk so quickly.

At this moment, the two of them felt as if they had turned into a fish, drifting in the chaotic ocean currents, unable to find their direction and could only follow the currents. However, this feeling came and went quickly, and before the two of them could fully experience it, the feeling passed, and the two of them turned into humans again and stepped on land again.

"Wow - good wine! How interesting! Hahahaha!" Shanks, who had just come out of the psychedelic feeling, couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"Haha, isn't it good, you two? This is the best wine we can buy in our Drunken Fish Bar. Many people come here because of its reputation. I guarantee that you can't taste such good wine anywhere else except the Drunken Fish Bar. I have put a lot of effort into researching this wine. From the time when Fishman Street was still dilapidated to now, my Sleepy Fish School has always been very popular. But it's also thanks to the fact that Fishman Street has become better now, otherwise my wine would probably be buried."

Bartender, no, judging from this sentence, this is probably the owner of this store who said excitedly.

"Indeed, it would be a shame if such a good wine were buried. But from what you said, you are the boss here?"

Bucky asked, putting his glass down.

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm the boss here, Drunken Fish Peak."

When Pike heard what Bucky said, he burst into laughter. His favorite thing was to stand at the bar as a bartender and watch the customers indulge in his specially made drinks. This made him happier than making any amount of money.

"Since you are the boss, can I ask a question?"

Bucky's eyes lit up and he asked quietly.

"Haha, of course no problem, just ask, I'm also an old hand in this street."

Pique did not refuse. Since the other party praised his wine, he didn't mind saying a few more words, as long as it was not anything illegal or criminal.

"It's nothing serious, I just want to ask, where does that small door on the side of the Drunken Fish Bar lead to? I just saw someone go in."

Bucky knocked left and right, and asked after confirming that the shifty guy was gone.

"The small door on the side? Oh! You mean that one? That's the common back door for our row of houses. The restaurant next door is connected to the back of the residential building, and that small door is the exit. Most likely, some resident wanted to take a shortcut and left through that small door. It's usually closed, and only the residents of these stores or apartment buildings have the key. Are you afraid that someone will steal your things? Don't worry, don't worry, we locked it from the inside too, so there won't be any problem."

Pique waved his hand and spoke bluntly, and his words immediately made the two of them alert. They thought that the door led to here, but it turned out to lead to this row of houses. It's bad, it's probably too late now.

"Boss Pique, let me ask you one more thing."

Bucky kept his composure for now and asked again.

"Haha, haha, ah, you say."

Pique felt something was wrong at this moment, but he was a veteran after all, so he said calmly.

"Have you ever seen a fish-man with shifty eyes and what looks like many legs?"

Bucky asked quietly.
