The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"Yes!" Gintoki drawled, reluctantly standing up.

Moria blinked. He'd thought the white-haired samurai was a passing pirate or bounty hunter. Turns out he was just a shop assistant?

Just a moment ago, his Observation Haki, which had been greatly weakened, sensed a subtle aura emanating from Gintoki.

Although it's unclear, one thing's for sure: that guy was definitely no ordinary person. And yet, such a person was just a waiter?

"Hehehehehe!"

Moria grinned; this drinking session was getting more and more interesting!

Soon, Gintoki returned carrying a large bottle of sake and a hot towel.

"Guest, here's your drink and hot towel!" Gintoki put down the drink and cup, then turned and returned to his seat.

Moria glanced at Gintoki's retreating figure, feeling a pang of regret.

In order to build an army of zombies, he has been collecting the shadows of powerful figures everywhere.

Normally, he wouldn't let a strong person like Gintoki go. But Gintoki's attire clearly indicates that he is a samurai from Wano Country.

Although it's unknown how he managed to escape from the closed-off Wano Country, he wouldn't attack anyone from Wano Country except Kaido and his associates.

Regrettingly turning his gaze away, Moria stared at the wine bottle and glass in front of him for a moment. Then, he picked up the glass with two fingers and held it to his eyes. Compared to his large hand, the glass looked like a tiny child's toy.

He had noticed it before. Although this was a small place where no one even recognized Devil Fruits, the tavern's decor and furnishings were quite luxurious. Such beautiful, crystal-clear cups were usually only affordable to the wealthy and in high-end restaurants.

After fiddling with the glass for a moment, Moria put it down. The glass was nice, but it was simply unsuitable for his physique. So he unscrewed the cork and took a small sip.

However, given his size, just a small sip was enough to empty half the bottle.

"Huh?" Moria's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "This wine is really good!"

As a renowned pirate, he had seen, eaten, and played with countless things. Yet, in his mind, this wine's quality still ranked in the top ten, or even the top five!

The disturbed guests all turned to look, but seeing Moria's size, they dared not speak out in anger.

Chapter 108 My subordinates are all loyal and righteous.

At this moment, apart from Gintoki, most of the guests in the tavern were just ordinary people. Even though Murphy had stated beforehand that violence was prohibited in the tavern, seeing Moria's towering height—comparable to an elephant even while seated on the ground—still made these guests from a peaceful world feel intimidated.

Moria ignored their stares and drank heartily.

In his eyes, these well-dressed and dignified guests were probably wealthy businessmen and nobles that Murphy had brought from somewhere.

As a pirate, the only people he can take seriously are the strong.

If I weren't in a good mood today, I would have looted them all at another time.

After two gulps, Moria finished the bottle of wine and proudly raised it.

"Another bottle, please!"

This time, Gintoki didn't need Murphy to call him; he obediently ran to the bar to get a drink.

"Bring me a few more bottles!"

Moria was much larger than average, so what would be a large bottle to an average person looked like a small bottle of calcium milk in his hands.

Gintoki scratched his head. "The people in the One Piece world are really strong!" he thought. "Murphy said that even aliens and monsters tens of meters tall would get drunk from the best liquor in bars. So he drank it all and didn't feel anything at all?"

Anyway, if the customer wants it, he can take it.

Soon, Gintoki returned carrying several large bottles of sake.

With a few quick pops, Moria opened all the bottles of wine and poured them directly into his mouth.

In no time, he had drunk half of the sake that Gintoki had just brought.

"Hehehehehe!"

Moriah drank with increasing merriment, and the guests around him began to look at him with reverence.

As expected of a giant, their alcohol tolerance is truly beyond what ordinary people like them can match!

Guests who come to Monster Bar, especially those with a little money, will at least try the monster dishes and the cosmic wines at least once, otherwise they will feel like they've come for nothing.

Unfortunately, for ordinary people, these delicacies and wines from outer space are still too potent. A few bites or a glass at most is about the limit.

Therefore, when they saw Moria effortlessly chugging bottle after bottle of the cosmic liquor as if it were water, they were immediately astonished and secretly began counting for him in their minds.

They were very curious about how many bottles Moria could actually drink.

Soon, Moria finished off the several bottles of wine on the table.

Just when everyone thought he was going to order more drinks, and even Gintoki stood up on his own, Moria suddenly let out a loud burp.

"Waaaaah!"

To everyone's surprise, Moria, who was laughing wildly just a moment ago, suddenly burst into tears.

"I miss my friends; they were all so loyal and devoted!"

He slammed his hands on the table, making a loud sound.

"It's all my fault!"

Moriah cried so hard that tears streamed down his face, and all his bravado vanished in an instant.

Drinking to drown one's sorrows only makes them worse. Even the most renowned pirate in the world eventually got drunk after drinking too much of the aliens' fine wine.

Moriah's cries were so loud that they hurt the ears of the other guests. However, they couldn't bear to cover their ears.

Perhaps people who enjoy themselves are drawn to each other. Even an ordinary person in a drinking party would never give up such a juicy piece of gossip just for the sake of their own safety.

They all pricked up their ears, waiting for Moria to continue.

However, Moria just kept muttering a few names over and over, blaming himself, and occasionally cursing Kaido.

"Ah, I know! Could he be Moria from One Piece?!"

Finally, a customer recognized him.

The reading corner at the bar has been set up for half a month. During this time, apart from the three generations of guests, other guests have also borrowed Weekly Shonen Jump from the bookshelf a few times.

As one of the pillars of JUMP, One Piece is quite popular among customers. They hadn't recognized him before mainly because of the difference between 2D and 3D, plus Moria's current appearance does indeed differ somewhat from his manga counterpart. But now, upon hearing the name Kaido, they finally realized who he was.

"One Piece?"

Some guests who had never borrowed the magazine or hadn't had a chance to read One Piece were completely confused.

"Is it that manga with the main character named Luffy?" asked some other customers who were only casually interested.

"Correct!"

"I remember the latter part of that comic wasn't very interesting!" another customer complained.

"That's right, the Wano Country arc was incredibly boring. That Kozuki Oden was a complete idiot!" one guest commented, expressing strong personal feelings.

"Ok?"

Moriah's ears picked up the key words, and he, who had been weeping, looked up at the guest who was speaking.

"Don't speak ill of Wano Country!"

With tears streaming down his face, Moria glared at the guest.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The customer, who had been unable to hold back and had made a few complaints, was covered in cold sweat and forced out the words.

Being glared at so menacingly by a giant over six meters tall, and a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions, and not only did he not faint, but he was still able to speak. That alone shows his courage.

After scolding the guest, Moria didn't pursue the matter further, but continued to sob uncontrollably on the table.

His reason had been completely overwhelmed by these top-tier wines from across the universe. He was now utterly absorbed in memories of his former comrades. If it weren't for the mention of Wano Country, he wouldn't have paid any attention to anyone else.

Fortunately, Murphy had improved the bar's furnishings after Homura Akemi's incident. Otherwise, with Moria's continued destruction, the table would probably have been shattered long ago.

Just as Moria was weeping, the tavern doors were pushed open once again.

Sesshomaru entered with Jaken.

As soon as he entered, Sesshomaru frowned almost imperceptibly.

It's too noisy.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Moria weeping bitterly.

Sesshomaru was slightly surprised when he saw Moria.

Its enormous size is almost comparable to its original form after it has transformed into a demon.

Sesshomaru subconsciously twitched his nose a few times, sniffing Moria's scent.

A strong smell of the sea, blood, and some other inexplicable odors filled the air. ... Sesshomaru instantly conjured up the identity of Moria in his mind.

A pirate who fights on the sea.

Despite its unusual appearance and impressive abilities, judging from its taste, it should still be human.

Another guest from the new world has arrived?

Having experienced the ways of the drinking scene, Sesshomaru's horizons have broadened considerably. A mere slightly unusual human simply doesn't interest him at all.

Without paying much attention to Moria, Sesshomaru went straight to his usual seat.

Gintoki, who was about to sit down, suddenly turned around and stood in front of Sesshomaru.

"Welcome. Are you the same as before?" Gintoki said expressionlessly.

"So you've finally given up your human identity and become a monster?" Jaken looked up at Gintoki in astonishment. Even Sesshomaru, sitting beside him, showed a hint of surprise.

Chapter 109 The Ambition of the Yapools

"How could that be? Jamila's just on vacation and I came to help out temporarily!"

Gintoki crossed his arms in front of his chest, his denial resolute.

Are you kidding me? He's extremely proud of his human identity. Even if the shop manager gave him the ability to always win big in pachinko and always win horse racing, he absolutely, positively, and probably wouldn't become a monster...

No, if that's the case, it doesn't seem like it's impossible!

Before anyone knew it, Gintoki's face had transformed into Kaiji's (the protagonist of Kaiji).

The thought of becoming an invincible gambling god made Gintoki feel that his principles weren't so firm anymore.

"Hey, stop daydreaming!" Jaken tapped the ground with his staff, waking Gintoki from his reverie.

"How long do you want Lord Sesshomaru to wait?!"

Monster Bar is a place teeming with hidden talents. Even excluding Murphy, a man even the Dark Universe Emperor couldn't have, the other staff and guests often possess their own unique skills. Therefore, most of the time, Jaken doesn't act too outrageously here.

But these past two days, Sesshomaru has been busy searching for Inuyasha's whereabouts and hasn't had much rest. He rarely comes to the tavern for a drink, but Gintoki is still there staring blankly with a stupid look on his face, which makes it hard for the loyal Jaken to tolerate any longer.

"I know, I know!"

Gintoki changed back to his Kaiji-like expression.

He was somewhat depressed: in his dream, he was sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, stepping to the beat of music, and returning as a king, witnessed by Kagura and Shinpachi. He was about to use his unparalleled gambling skills to defeat the evil gambling god from France and win the Elixir of Immortality.

But just when things got to the crucial moment, they were interrupted by this heretical view. It was really disappointing.

"Insolent fool!" Evil Viewer, enraged, raised his staff and swung it wildly.

Sesshomaru remained silent, though a slight sense of regret lingered in his heart.

He also wanted to see what a man would look like as a monster girl. Why did Gintoki refuse?

"hiss!"

Gintoki, who was about to get some sake for Sesshomaru, shivered.

'Could it be that Kagura and Shinpachi are talking badly about me at home again? It must be because I promised to bring them to the bar, but I forgot again, so they're gossiping about me behind my back!'

Gintoki felt he had guessed the truth.

"This is really a headache!" Gintoki muttered as he pulled out Sesshomaru's favorite sake from the bar. "Looks like I'll have to bring them next time... But what about Sadaharu if they all come to the bar? I can't exactly bring her too, can I?"

Unable to come up with a good idea for the time being, Gintoki simply stopped thinking about it.

There's always a way out; why make things difficult for yourself now?

"Manager, Sesshomaru is here, the same set meal as before!" Gintoki called out to Murphy in the kitchen after getting the sake.

"Understood!" Murphy replied as he tossed a large wok in the kitchen.

After a while, Murphy finished preparing the meal for Moria.

Considering his size and wealth, Murphy did extra work this time, which is why it took so long.
