Episode 44: The Bar of Secrets
After settling into their rooms at Sakura Inn, Venus, and his crew decided to explore Sea Salt City. They wandered through the bustling streets and soon found themselves outside a bar with a glowing neon sign that read "The Kraken's Grotto."
Intrigued, they entered the dimly lit bar, filled with the scent of cigars and the hum of murmured conversations. They made their way to the counter and ordered a round of beer, liquor, and wine for a total of 20,000 L$. Drinks in hand, they found an empty table where people seemed to be trading information.
At the table next to them, a 15-year-old boy named Hiro was engaged in animated conversation. Noticing the crew's interest, he leaned over and introduced himself.
