"Originally, two weeks ago, his Golden Octopus Pirates left, reportedly to attend some meeting of Whitebeard's affiliated pirate crews.
Then, just a few days later, hey! This Squidward came back after the meeting, completely treating this place as his base camp. It's truly despairing.
And judging by today's situation, Squidward seems very eager to play some indescribable tentacle-mosaic games with those five dancers!"
Grimm, naturally, didn't know the reason, but he could tell that this octopus was not a good person.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." No matter what, people have to follow the rules, unless you are powerful enough to overturn all rules. Clearly, the guy in front of him was breaking the rules.
And as soon as Squidward spoke, everyone present backed down. This was just a small area under Whitebeard's territory; who would dare to object?
"Shopkeeper on stage, didn't you just say the women choose? Let them come out!"
Suddenly, a voice startled everyone.
Who was it? Who dared to oppose the Whitebeard Pirates?
In an instant, everyone turned their heads. They saw that by a small table on the right, in the otherwise dim tavern, the young man seemed to exude a faint golden halo. He sat with his legs crossed, hands clasped on his knees.
"Tsk, don't you know I'm Pops's son?" Squidward also noticed Grimm and roared.
"Boss, didn't you just state the rules? Why aren't you letting the dancers come out to choose?" Grimm asked Sean, completely ignoring Squidward.
"Bastard! It seems you don't understand the current situation?" Squidward sneered, but ultimately decided not to act immediately. Instead, he said: "Sean, bring out those five women and let them show this pretty boy with their actions who they choose!"
Rather than killing Grimm outright, Squidward thought it would be more amusing to let the five women reject him. Making him leave like a stray dog—that would be the most satisfying!
Sean, having set the rules himself, couldn't go back on his word. He then called out the five scantily clad dancers and quickly informed them of Squidward's identity, urging them to choose carefully.
Immediately, the five beauties compared Grimm and Squidward.
Even in the dim lighting of the surroundings, any fool could see that Grimm was definitely a handsome guy, while Kraken was disgusting in appearance. A simple comparison made it clear who to choose.
Moreover, the five women knew of Kraken's notorious reputation before coming here. They thought he had already left, which was why they came to work.
If they chose Kraken, it would mean they would have to "mate" with a fish today. What a joke! Although they were dancers, they were all virtuous women. They would rather die than serve a fish!
Thus, Grimm was the first choice in the hearts of the five women.
But the crucial point was that this octopus was Whitebeard's adopted son, and the owner of this city was also Whitebeard's subordinate. Whitebeard's protectiveness of his crew was known to the world.
If they were truly forced to die, they were still afraid. It was just a matter of tentacles, wasn't it? Close their eyes, open them, and it would be over.
The woman in the blue dress, presumably the leader, gritted her teeth and looked towards Squidward: "I… I choose…"
Seeing the woman facing him, Squidward was about to laugh heartily, but unexpectedly, Grimm stood up and said: "Wait!"
These simple two words drew everyone's attention back to Grimm, including the dancers.
Grimm smiled and looked into the eyes of the dancer. After about three seconds, Grimm said in a cheerful voice: "You chose me, right?"
"Kid, are you crazy? This woman clearly…"
"Yes!"
Squidward wanted to mock Grimm, but unexpectedly, the woman in blue directly replied: "Yes, I chose this gentleman in white!"
Under the disbelieving eyes of everyone present, the other four dancers also spoke: "Me too!"
"+1"
"+10086"
"+10000"
Obviously, the voices of these four women were very soft, and it was unclear what they were saying, but judging by the direction they pointed, they had indeed chosen Grimm.
"Very good, then what are you waiting for? Come down and have a drink with me!" Grimm sat back down in his seat. Inside the tavern, including Sean and the fish-people of the Golden Octopus Pirates, everyone's eyes were wide with disbelief, about to pop out.
The five women, with their attractive figures, walked over to Grimm's side. The small table, originally meant for two, was suddenly surrounded by five women. They served drinks, massaged his back, and rubbed his legs and arms. If it weren't for Grimm's dislike of being fed drinks, the remaining one could have helped with that too.
These five women were not playing by the rules.
Many people cried out in their hearts.
Didn't they know who Kraken was? Whitebeard's son!
Impossible not to know. The woman in blue originally intended to choose Kraken, but after looking at that kid for a while, why did she choose him?
A Devil Fruit ability?
Many people speculated internally. If it were a Devil Fruit with versatile abilities, controlling a few dancers would be quite easy.
However, the reality was mostly true. Grimm had used "Enchantment" on the first woman, and it had clearly succeeded. As for the other four, they simply followed the first dancer's choice. That's why their voices were so soft—a sign of timidity.
The four dancers didn't know why their "big sister" had suddenly chosen this kid. One woman in yellow glanced at Squidward not far away and saw him trembling with rage, which sent a shiver down her spine.
In this situation, even if they regretted their decision, they would likely face a brutal end!
Grimm enjoyed the service of the five dancers, acting as if nothing was wrong. "What's wrong, shopkeeper? Call out new dancers to perform!"
Before Sean could react, Squidward jumped up: "You cheated, kid!"
Grimm narrowed his eyes, glanced at him, and chuckled: "Cheated?"
"What was that Devil Fruit ability just now? Don't think I'm blind and can't see!"
Grimm smiled and took a sip of beer: "Even if it was, so what?"
Squidward was furious: "I think you don't know who I am! I am the son of Father Whitebeard, Kraken the Golden Octopus, with a bounty of 120 million!"
Squidward's nasal roar made everyone around tremble in fear. Many people rushed out of the tavern. The woman pouring Grimm a drink was the one in blue. She remained very calm, while the other women trembled all over.
"First revealing the name of Whitebeard, then stating your own name… Pirates like you aren't even considered third-rate; ninth-rate would be more fitting. You're truly a disgrace to Whitebeard!" Grimm said with a smile!
"What did you say?" Squidward angrily kicked the table in front of him, shattering it into wood chips!
Squidward was very angry!
