Chapter 237
The meaning of campfire
Unconsciously, two people, an old man and a young man, were chatting in this forest clearing until nightfall.
In the middle, Luffy could often feel the aura of a powerful creature, which seemed to want to get closer.
But somehow, once these creatures with powerful auras came within a certain range of where he and Rayleigh were, they would suddenly leave like frightened birds and disappear from his perception.
Luffy’s intuition does not mean that he has awakened his Haki now.
But it comes from the innately keen sixth sense.
The lit fire made a crackling sound, and Rayleigh turned around and disappeared into the depths of the dark forest.
After a while, Luffy saw him walking back with a huge wild boar on his shoulders.
“Tonight’s meal is just barbecue. Hahaha, let me give you a taste of my craftsmanship.”
Reilly put the wild boar down with a smile and reached out to pull out the sword from his waist.
Under Luffy’s amazed gaze, Rayleigh’s wrist shook.
Swish, swish, swish.
Bright sword lights flashed from the huge wild boar.
A few seconds later, there was a pile of neatly stacked wild boar meat on the ground.
The anxious Luffy quickly found a few wooden sticks, threaded the pieces of meat with harps, placed it on the fire, and started grilling.
He was very skillful in grilling meat. Lei Li couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He couldn’t help but asked in surprise:
“I didn’t expect you could grill meat? But the curly eyebrow boy said that you only know how to eat.”
” Hahaha, the only delicacies I could eat when I was a kid were the game that Ace and Sabo took me to catch, and my grandpa, who often left me alone in the jungle full of beasts. My barbecue skills, I learned it all from them, hee hee.”
Luffy grinned.
After a while, the aroma came out of the piece of meat in Luffy’s hand.
The meat is roasted until it’s charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a layer of crystalline oil exuding from the surface, making it look very delicious.
Luffy’s stomach growled and his mouth watered, but he smiled stupidly and handed the piece of meat to Rayleigh first.
“There are many more here. I will bake them myself. You can eat them yourself.”
Rayleigh waved his hand and threaded a piece of meat on a wooden stick.
“No, you eat this piece of meat first, Rayleigh.” Although Luffy drooled with greed, he stubbornly refused to take back the hand he handed over.
Rayleigh was confused: “Why?”
Luffy smiled and scratched his head: “Because in the next year, I asked Rayleigh-sensei to teach me how to become stronger.” “Is
that so? Teacher?” Rayleigh asked. Startled, a hearty smile gradually appeared on his face, he took the piece of barbecue, took a big bite, and ate it in a few times.
“How about Rayleigh? Is my barbecue delicious?” Luffy asked expectantly.
“Well, very good!”
Reilly gave a thumbs up and praised.
“Hehehe.” Luffy giggled happily.
In the dim forest, the firelight dances and the oil smells fragrant.
Rayleigh turned the piece of meat in his hand and asked casually: “Luffy, why did you change the training time from two years to one year?” “Of course it’s
because of Ace.”
Luffy frowned. He said it loudly and without hesitation.
“Ace will have a decisive battle with Blackbeard in a year. I must become stronger before then, and then lead my friends to the new world to help.”
Rayleigh’s wrist that turned the piece of meat paused, and then Keep turning.
“You know, you can’t interfere with Ace’s decision. Whether he wins or loses depends entirely on him. No matter how hard I train you, you won’t have the power to control the overall situation in just one year.”
” The duel between the two of them is no longer a simple personal grudge. It involves the entanglement between two behemoths in the new world.” ”
Luffy, you…”
“You should understand.”
Rayleigh His voice was deep and powerful.

The place became cold, with only the flipping movements of the two men’s hands and the sizzling sound of the meat grilled by the flames.
Luffy was silent for a long time as he chewed the piece of meat in his mouth.
“Yeah.”
“I know, Rayleigh.”
He looked at the dancing firelight and remembered his childhood many years ago.
At that time, he and Ace were still little kids about half a man’s height.
It was often like the scene before me, in the dark forest, lighting a bonfire, catching some prey, and the two brothers laughing and joking.
Ace said.
From the moment a person is born, he is like a bonfire that is lit.
Some bonfires are lit for grilling food.
Some are for keeping warm and keeping away the cold.
Some may be used to start a fire.
And when he lit the bonfire, no one told him what it was for.
He had tried to find answers.
But all I got was disappointment.
The person who was supposed to give his bonfire meaning, not only did not leave a single word, but also set off an unquenchable storm around the bonfire after it was lit.
Ace didn’t know.
When will my bonfire swaying in the wind be suddenly blown out by the strong wind?
“But, Luffy!”
Under the light of the fire, the former boy said decisively in a firm tone: “Whether this bonfire is used to grill food, to keep warm from the cold, or to cause fires, all of this is It’s meaningful! I won’t give in! If I were this bonfire on the ground, then I would be the flame that burns vigorously in the dark night!” The young Luffy was so excited by Ace’s words that he went
to He kept putting firewood in the bonfire, saying that he would never let Ace’s bonfire go out.
Then that day, a fire broke out in the forest…
“Ace, is an eternal flame. No matter what, I will not let this flame go out.”
In the darkness, Rayleigh saw Luffy Two balls of fire dancing in his eyes.
Bright as the sun.
“That’s it…”
“I understand.”
For some reason, the corners of Rayleigh’s eyes suddenly felt moist.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were folded together.
“Then try your best and become stronger, young man!”
“Yes! Teacher Rayleigh!”
“How is the agreement with your friends decided?”
“I will publish the news in the newspaper and leave a code, friends You must be able to understand it!”
“Then have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow begins the road to hell training!!”
“Yes! Teacher Rayleigh!”
The next day, before dawn, the silent winter island… It was broken by a cry of pain.
Luffy had tears in his eyes, covering the big bump on his forehead, looking at Rayleigh’s clenched fists.
“Luffy, it’s time to start training!”
“Time is tight. If you want to help Ace within a year, you must push yourself to death at all times!” ”
I will teach you the most basic knowledge of Haki now.
” Lee got a notebook and some pencils from somewhere.
“You must keep it in mind every word. I will give you questions after every day’s training. You must answer them all correctly, otherwise you will have no food!” ”
Nani?”
“Answer… …Answer the question??”
