Even if you don't become a pirate, but a bounty hunter, oh no, even if you're just an ordinary person, or even a businessman!
Rayleigh thought it was all normal, but it just so happened that he became the Navy officer he thought was the least likely to become!
"Ace, stop! You're no match for him right now!" Rein called out to Ace when he saw that things had gone too far.
"I'm sorry, Rein-san, I'm still too weak. I can't pose a real threat to him," Ace said, full of shame.
"..." Rayleigh fell silent for a moment. Even when Roger had dragged him onto the pirate ship without asking, he had never been this speechless and silent!
Roger, do you want to listen to whether your child is even speaking human language?
At just 12 years old, he was already able to take battles a little more seriously!
What else does he want?!
He had experienced countless battles and countless trials of life and death.
That's how they achieved their current strength! And yet, it's just a 12-year-old Ace! They feel ashamed of the current situation!!
The genuine emotions they expressed were so heartbreaking!
But Rayleigh wasn't the only one who was hurt!
The others were also deeply hurt!
[Kaido #2: Doesn't he realize his own strength? Is he already considered rare in the world?]
[Red Hair #2: Ace's expression doesn't seem fake. Maybe everyone around him is very strong, causing him to lack a concrete, clear understanding of his own strength? He only knows he can't beat Rayleigh right now!]
[Whitebeard #2: That's possible!]
[Capone Bege #2: Even he thinks he's weak. Maybe we should just go back to the West Blue and collect protection money!]
[Hawkins #2: There's no need for that. Those kinds of monsters don't exist in our world anyway!]
……
Video #1, a moment later!
Aunt Xia served everyone wine and drinks.
"You didn't come here to get my coating applied, you came here to show off, didn't you?" Rayleigh asked, swirling the wine in his glass.
Besides Ace, the other two kids also have very strong auras!
"Do I look like that kind of person to you?" Ryan smiled dismissively.
"Like this, haven't you done this kind of thing enough?"
"Don't judge me based on the past."
"Although I don't know the specifics, Ace becoming a Marine is largely related to you, isn't it?"
"I told you not to judge the present based on the past..."
"Yes, I want to become a free and just Marine like Rein-san, and arrest all of you pirates!" Ace said firmly before Rein could finish his excuses!
Reilly immediately gave Rein a look that said, "Let's see how you try to argue this out."
Renn wasn't embarrassed at all! Under Reilly's gaze, he slowly took a sip of his drink.
In situations like this, as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will feel awkward.
"Have you ever considered that as Ace's rank rises higher, the World Government will eventually discover his true identity?" Rayleigh said in a deep voice.
"It's alright, this matter is already underway. Taking Ace and the others to the New World this time is also to lay the groundwork for his political vetting! With enough dazzling achievements and a positive reputation, reasonable operations, and a little hype, even things that people fear can become very inspiring."
"Is such a thing even possible? Although I know you've always been cunning, sometimes the higher-ups don't listen to your opinions, even if you're a high-ranking official in the World Government or the Navy's Grand Inspector!"
“It can be done,” Ryan replied directly with an affirmative answer.
"I hope so..." Rayleigh didn't ask any more questions. Usually, when he was so sure, he was probably very confident!
But he was still worried that the captain's only bloodline might die young.
"However, your use of the word 'cunning' is not very pleasant. Try something different next time!"
"No..."
"Speaking of which, why didn't Hancock come with you this time?" Aunt Xia, the former emperor of Amazon Lily and the former captain of the Kuja Pirates, asked slowly while smoking a cigarette.
[Hancock #2: ???]
“She’s great in every way, except she’s a bit too clingy… I sent her to help Elisa with her work,” Renn said, looking rather troubled.
[Sanji #2: Hancock?! The world's most beautiful woman?! What did you do to her?!]
Looking at Ryan, he still seemed a bit troubled!
Sanji even had the urge to pick up a kitchen knife and chop Rein to death.
"It's true, every emperor seems to fall for dangerous and powerful men! It's like a curse on the emperors of Amazon Lily," Aunt Xia sighed.
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh silently lowered his head and drank his wine; he dared not respond to such a remark!
"Is it possible that this is related to your country's culture of valuing force above all else?"
"Maybe."
"I'll go coat the ship, you guys chat... Hmm? It seems like we have some uninvited guests." Rayleigh had just stood up when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"It must have been the aura you unleashed that alerted him. He happened to be nearby, so he came to check... Luffy, Ace, Sabo, the moment of truth has arrived for you! Show him what you've learned." Rein remained seated.
They showed absolutely no intention of making a move!
"The real test, huh?!" Luffy and his two companions exchanged glances and immediately understood!
Someone that both Rayleigh and Rein value.
They must be among the world's top experts and important figures!
And they are real enemies!
……
"Strange, I clearly sensed a familiar aura and sword intent just now, it really felt like Rayleigh's, but where did it go..." The Golden Lion floated in the air, looking around!
I could sense the lingering aura of a battle between powerful individuals!
His eyes then fell on the only tavern nearby!
"Will he be inside?" Every time Golden Lion tried to cause trouble for Roger, Rayleigh would always stop him!
After a while, he and Lei also got to know each other better.
Considering that Rayleigh really enjoys drinking, there's a good chance he's in a bar right now!
"After Roger died, did he really not make any arrangements at all?" Roger was such a great man!
Golden Lion didn't believe Roger hadn't made any arrangements.
Especially considering he once possessed such terrifying weapons.
But they didn't directly declare war on the World Government! That's very suspicious.
If Rayleigh is really in Sabaody Archipelago, then it's even more suspicious.
But perhaps I can invite Rayleigh to join my flying pirate crew!
Roger is gone; he probably wouldn't want to bury his extraordinary skills!
Perhaps I can inherit Roger's legacy...
"That's a bit risky." The Golden Lion stared at the unremarkable tavern for a long time!
Suddenly, he pulled out several round, bead-like objects from his pocket and placed them around him!
[Rocks #2: What is he doing?]
[Kaido #2: I don't know, I didn't understand!]
[Whitebeard #2: The Golden Lion from the other world doesn't seem impulsive at all. If it were our Golden Lion, he would have already rushed in to investigate if he had even the slightest suspicion!]
[Golden Lion #1: Do you think I wanted this?! I was forced into it!]
After placing the strange object, the golden lion still seemed uneasy, so he left for a while and then returned!
This time when he returned, he was wearing a set of full-body armor that looked expensive, exquisite, and had excellent defensive capabilities!
Even their heads were covered! But the mask could be pushed open!
Otherwise, they wouldn't recognize it as a golden lion!
At the same time, he took out a small box from his pocket, which contained many fragments of sea stone!
Then he drew out his two famous swords, Sakura-ju and Kuraki!
Cautiously, glancing around every step of the way, I tiptoed closer to the bar!
This scene left many powerful figures from both worlds speechless!
This golden lion is way too conservative!
This doesn't look like a fierce lion at all; it looks exactly like a petty thief!
[Rocks #1: Shiki, this is so embarrassing!]
[Kaido #2: You're supposed to be a world-renowned strongman, yet you're so cowardly and afraid of death!! Where's the dignity of a strongman?!]
