"Well, I've asked for three more days for you."

Izayoi Sakuya nodded, but before Hong Meiling could be happy for long, she picked up her pocket watch, looked at it and said.

"But the time has passed. You are now five minutes and thirty seconds late."

“W-what…!?”

Hong Meiling's eyes suddenly widened, and the huge rock that had already fallen in her heart rose up again and smashed down heavily again.

"Deduct one year's salary from you."

Izayoi Sakuya glanced at her expressionlessly, then turned and left, leaving Hong Meiling standing there, wanting to cry but unable to.

......

On the other side, Bai An returned to Freedom House and still did not see Xiao Hei. He randomly found a maid and found out Xiao Hei's location.

As long as the portal is open, you can travel freely even through the gaps.

Arriving in the pirate world, the moment Mo Xiaohei saw Bai An, he immediately dropped his men, flew over, hugged his neck and rubbed against him, with the ear decorations on his hood swinging constantly.

"Master, Xiao Hei misses you so much~"

The soft tone of voice was completely different from the cold and aloof image he had when he just scolded his subordinates.

However, the maids either had already gotten used to it or did not dare to react; they were all well-trained and kept a low profile.

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to do this in front of your men?"

Bai An's mouth twitched slightly and he pulled her off his neck.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not like they haven't seen me act like a spoiled child before. Isn't it normal to act like a spoiled child to you, my master?"

Mo Xiaohei said as a matter of course, and then his eyes fell on the maids next to him.

"Do you think my behavior is normal?"

Several maids bowed and responded in unison.

"Queen, whatever you do is correct."

Hearing this, Mo Xiaohei nodded in satisfaction, looking like a little kid showing off after succeeding.

Chapter 50: Straw Hat Pirates

Thousand Miles Sunny.

On the deck, the Straw Hat guys were sitting on the mast, fishing with fishing rods in their hands, staring blankly at the water.

"I'm so hungry, why haven't I caught any fish yet?"

Luffy touched his shriveled belly, looking hopeless.

"How dare you say that? It's because you ate up all our supply for this week last night!"

Nami sent a violent fist straight at his head.

"That's right. If we don't catch fish soon, we'll all starve to death." Usopp agreed.

"Don't be impatient, it will be there soon, look over there." Robin chuckled and said softly.

Look in the direction Robin's finger is pointing.

Everyone found a fat blue fish lying on the sea water, swimming slowly and leisurely.

"There's fish!"

Luffy cried out in surprise, then jumped up in excitement and opened his arms.

Everyone gave him a slap on the face without any prior agreement.

"Idiot, you're shouting so loudly, what if you scare the fish away?"

Nami cursed unceremoniously.

"Hey, I'm just too excited..."

Luffy chuckled and covered his forehead which was hurt by the beating.

Then, the fat sea fish was quickly caught.

Luffy's mouth was watering, already imagining the taste of the tender gravy after being grilled.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on top of the sea fish.

The hungry people subconsciously thought that they were trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and were about to attack, but they were stopped by Robin.

"Robin, are you friends? Who are those two?"

Nami frowned and looked at Robin nervously.

"Not a friend, but probably not an enemy either."

Robin shook his head, looked at the two people on the sea fish, and said slowly.

"The one on the left is the one who caused a big disturbance in the war a while ago, along with another mysterious woman. She suppressed the navy so much that they dared not move. As for the one next to him, his identity is unknown, but he must be quite powerful."

Several people looked at each other and were all shocked. They didn't understand how a big shot of this level could appear here.

"Hey, hey, aren't you the kindhearted person who helped me rescue Ace?"

At this moment, Luffy beside him also recognized Bai An.

Bai An jumped down and landed steadily. After glancing at everyone, his eyes fixed on Luffy.

"Hehe, you saved Ace some time ago, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. Do you want to eat grilled fish together?"

Luffy showed his signature smile and waved carelessly.

Luffy, who is a foodie, actually invited others to dinner after being hungry for several days, which surprised everyone.

But considering that the other party saved Luffy's brother Ace, he felt relieved.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Bai An shook his head and then continued.

"As you know, I own a shop, and I came here to buy some things from you."

After hearing this, the group of people looked at each other, somewhat confused.

They have something worth buying from each other.

Could it be Zoro's sword?

But the other party is a super strong man who can suppress the navy and even the Four Emperors are afraid of him. Why would he come in person just for a few sharp swords?

Bai An seemed to understand their confusion and explained.

"What I need are some rare items, like Chopper's Rambo Maru or Usoru's plant bullets."

"No need to buy, just take as much as you need."

Hearing this, Luffy smiled brightly and spoke generously.

If it were normal times, everyone would definitely go up and kick the unfortunate captain twice.

However, the situation today was special, so no one said anything.

Chopper can make Rambomaru at any time, and Usopp has been planting those plant seeds and has a lot of stock.

It is still a good deal to use these things to exchange for the favor of a super powerful person.

Thinking of this, Chopper and Usopp readily agreed and walked back to the cabin to move the things out.

After an inventory, Bai An smiled with satisfaction, then remembered something and spoke.

"Do you want to become a subsidiary force of our Freedom House?"

"Eh!?"

Except for Luffy, everyone else showed a stunned expression, with disbelief in their eyes.

"No, I want to be the Pirate King!"

Luffy immediately refused and glared at Bai An with extreme dissatisfaction.

"How can I be the Pirate King if I become someone else's subordinate? Even if you are Ace's savior, I will beat you up!"

Hearing this, Robin, Nami, Usopp and the others were all horrified. They grabbed the stupid captain and covered his mouth tightly.

If the difference in strength is not that big, then forget it.

But the person in front of them is not on the same level as them at all. If they really fight, it will be like an egg hitting a stone!

At this time, Mo Xiaohei's eyes had turned cold. If Bai An hadn't held her back, she would have taught this presumptuous guy a lesson.

After forcing Luffy to shut up, Nami took a deep breath, thought about her words and asked.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, the Freedom House you are talking about is the newly rising force? Are you the leader of Freedom House?"

As Nami said this, everyone looked at Bai An.

This is a force that suddenly appeared in the sea recently.

It suddenly appeared out of nowhere and suppressed the Four Emperors in just half a month. Even the navy was unable to do anything to it.

However, this force is mysterious.

All we know is that everyone has the ability to teleport, especially the leader, but we don't even have a portrait of him, let alone know the other party's specific information.

If the other party is the leader of Freedom House, then it makes sense.

The time of appearance and the strength are completely consistent.

"No, I'm not the leader of Freedom House here."

Bai An shook his head, rejecting Nami's guess. However, before Nami could breathe a sigh of relief, Bai An pointed at Mo Xiaohei and continued:

"But Xiao Hei is the leader of the Freedom House here."

"Eh--!?"

Nami's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the girl in a cute black coat next to Bai An in confusion.

Others also looked at Mo Xiaohei, shock written in their eyes.

The leader of Freedom House is unexpectedly such a lovely girl.

This kind of thing is too outrageous!

But when Xiaohei heard this, he seemed unhappy, and his delicate little face wrinkled slightly.

"Xiao Hei belongs to the master, and the forces formed here also belong to the master."

Mo Xiaohei grumbled in dissatisfaction, causing everyone to fall into a daze again.

"Got it. My little Hei is the best."

Bai An rubbed her head helplessly.

Although Mo Xiaohei was still struggling with this matter, he still snuggled up to Bai An obediently.

Bai An continued.

"So, what do you think? Do you want to become a subsidiary force of our Freedom House?"

Nami first let out a long sigh, looked at Luffy and then at Bai An, and pondered for a long time before answering.

“What are the consequences if we refuse?”

This question made everyone nervous, fearing that this sentence would annoy the other party.

However, it attracted a strange look from Bai An.

"Have you read too many novels? Will I kill you if you don't want to?"

Bai An looked at them in surprise.

"I'm just asking casually."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little embarrassed and loosened their grip on their weapons.

Indeed, their worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Judging from the performance of Freedom House punching the Four Emperors and stepping on the Navy, it seems that whether they join or not will not affect the other side at all.

After realizing this, Nami let down her guard.
