After eating and drinking his fill, Alvin didn't linger at the bar. Since these people wouldn't chat him up anyway, it was more worthwhile to go to a hotel and sleep.
Moreover, he had sensed that Xavier was nearby, seemingly guarding against him making a move.
"It seems… this guy really is a good King. The common people of this country are truly fortunate," Alvin said, looking meaningfully in Xavier's direction.
In West Blue, most countries are ruled or controlled by gangs, and places like the Coral Kingdom are definitely in the minority.
It was precisely for this reason that he spoke politely to Xavier.
Following that, Alvin arrived at a decent hotel, booked a room on the top floor, and then washed away the bloodstains on him.
...
Downstairs at the hotel, Xavier looked serious: "Red Hawk Alvin, truly terrifying Observation Haki. No wonder he can become West Blue's number one sniper!"
He had felt Alvin's glance just now and had a sense of being seen through. He also didn't expect to be detected so easily by Alvin.
Judging by Tobias's shattered axe from the square, Alvin's swordsmanship had also reached the level of cutting steel.
Swordsmanship at the such high level, top-tier sniping, top-tier Observation Haki, and even learning Armament Haki at the age of 15.
Xavier could already foresee that if Alvin could grow smoothly, he would definitely have a place among the top echelon of powerhouses on the sea in the future!
"Should I invest while he's still young… No, no! This guy causes too much trouble!" Xavier quickly stopped this dangerous thought.
That was close, to actually have such a thought cross his mind. Red Hawk Alvin… truly terrifying!
Inside the hotel, Alvin, who had just finished showering, had no idea of Xavier's many thoughts. He just wanted to get a good night's sleep now, then depart for Flame Island tomorrow.

The sun, like an aged elder, slowly shifted its somewhat heavy steps towards the western horizon.
As time passed little by little, the sun gradually set, and its originally dazzling light began to soften.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be painted with a layer of brilliant colors by an invisible hand, presenting a mesmerizing orange-red hue.
At this moment, the world was peaceful and serene, with only the rustling of the breeze gently sweeping through the treetops and the occasional distant bird calls breaking the silence.
Alvin slowly woke up on the soft big bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked out the window, instantly admiring the beautiful sunset.
"Grumble~~~"
"Why am I hungry again? So annoying…" Alvin, who had slept for half a day, was finally woken up by his stomach's protest.
After tidying up, and so as not to disappoint such a beautiful sunset, he still chose to go out to the bar for dinner.
When Alvin exited the hotel, Xavier immediately became serious.
"What is he going out for at this time?" Xavier wondered.
However, he soon saw that Alvin seemed to be heading towards the Coral Restaurant Bar.
Is it for dinner?
But he could also eat at the hotel, and the hotel's food was even better.
Thus, Xavier, unable to understand and wanting some peace of mind, chose to send a subordinate to the bar to investigate.
----
The Coral Restaurant Bar, because Alvin had lunch there this afternoon, had been incredibly lively all afternoon until now.
All afternoon, the discussions among the bar's patrons were almost all related to Alvin, and even various wild rumors had emerged.
"Your information isn't accurate. I got the latest news that the reason Alvin killed Luna was because Alvin fell in love with Luna, but then he learned that Luna had an improper relationship with Duke of Bones, so in a fit of rage…"
"Hiss! Is that how it was?"
"That's not right, is it? The intelligence I received said that Alvin and Isa, the Mayor of Sagamia in the Asriel Kingdom, were lovers, but Alvin betrayed Isa for Nico Robin, which is why Isa publicly declared that she would kill Alvin with her own hands!"
"I'm also inclined to believe that, after all, Alvin was with that Demon Child Nico Robin before!"
"These women all possess stunning beauty. How enviable. Handsome men are indeed the most popular with women…"
At this point, the male patrons in the bar all wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment, while the female patrons, thinking of Alvin's handsomeness, quietly blushed.
They thought, perhaps a brief romance with Alvin wouldn't be bad either?
...
Outside the bar, Alvin listened to the discussions inside, and his face instantly turned incredibly dark.
These wild rumors are too wild!
He couldn't stand it anymore.
"Bang!" Alvin pushed the bar door open forcefully. "Hey! I say, you guys, there's a limit to joking around! Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Silence!
The moment Alvin appeared, the entire bar instantly fell silent.
Someone, unable to hold it in, swallowed, and the distinct sound made everyone come back to their senses.
Alvin looked in the direction of the sound, and it was a beautiful young lady!
This woman had long black hair as deep as the night sky, with slightly curled ends that emitted a faint luster.
Her eyes were like two amethyst crystals, deep and mysterious, as if they could see through people's hearts. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her lips were as delicate and alluring as roses.
She had a tall, slender figure with graceful curves, wearing a black lace long dress. The hem of the skirt swayed gently in the breeze, exuding an aura that was both pure and seductive.
Another top-tier beauty~
AI generated!
When this woman saw Alvin's gaze fall upon her, her heart suddenly began to pound rapidly, feeling as if it would leap out at any moment!
Even her previously fierce demeanor vanished at this moment, replaced by a pure, delicate, and vulnerable appearance.
It was as if she wasn't the one who had been killing people outside the casino yesterday.
"Cough cough~ Well, Bar Owner, I'll have 100 servings of food!" Alvin reluctantly withdrew his gaze and calmly looked at the Bar Owner.
"Alright… Alright, Red Hawk, sir, please have a glass of milk first!" The Bar Owner finally reacted upon hearing Alvin's voice.
He quickly poured Alvin a glass of milk, then immediately went to the back kitchen to give instructions.
At the same time, he felt very fortunate that the woman was there, which prevented Alvin from unleashing his anger on them.
It was truly a narrow escape from death!
The customers in the bar had the same thought. They were now filled with regret and fear. What had they just said!
Thankfully, there was this woman…
For a moment, everyone cast grateful glances at the woman.
But upon truly looking, they hadn't realized earlier that this woman was also extraordinarily beautiful!
Being watched by so many people, the woman suddenly felt a strong urge to get angry and kill them all, but remembering Alvin was also there, this thought instantly died down.
She quietly stayed in the corner of the bar, still displaying that delicate, pure, and alluring appearance.
If Alvin had seen her expression at that moment, he would have realized that her vulnerability was somewhat feigned.
Furthermore, the man sent by Xavier, standing at the doorway, was also filled with lingering fear. The people in this bar truly dodged a bullet.
He suddenly discovered a weakness of Red Hawk: a man with such immense power could actually be swayed by beauty.
At this moment, he was eager to report this intelligence to His Majesty Xavier.
Alvin paid no attention to the reactions of the people inside the bar. He wasn't looking at the woman anymore, but he was thinking about her.
And the more he thought, the more excited he became.
Gambling Queen Lilian, a terrifying woman with a bounty of 57 million Berries!
Relying on her decent strength and outstanding beauty, she successfully made countless men her devoted followers.
Rumor has it that these men were completely obedient to Lilian, and after being drained by her, they died from having their life roots severed.
It truly echoed the saying: "To die beneath the peony, even as a ghost, one is still romantic…"
