Gulugulu…
Rayleigh took another big sip of alcohol, put down the bottle, and picked up the Information from under his butt.
“It doesn’t matter… The casing is made of specially preserved animal hide, impervious to water and fire… except for your lightning, of course.”
*Burp*!!
Even though he wasn’t there, Rowen seemed to smell the strong scent of alcohol coming his way.
The mighty “Right Hand of the Pirate King” had turned into this kind of old drunkard. Time really is a butcher’s knife!
Feeling nostalgic for a moment, Rowen reached out his hand and said to Rayleigh, “Then give it to me!”
Rayleigh didn’t move and smiled, “Why don’t you come over here yourself? Are you afraid of me? You shouldn’t be.”
Vaguely, Rowen felt a fluctuation coming from afar. He knew that it was something called Haoshoku Haki!
However, the suppression of Haoshoku had less deterrent effect on a pure Elementalization puppet than a bullet. Faced with Rayleigh’s surging momentum, Rowen calmly said, “Are you buying time for Shakky?”
In his perception, the bar was empty, and Boss Lady Shakky had already blended into a merchant ship, slowly moving away from the Sabaody Archipelago.
“Dark King” Rayleigh, the former Vice Captain of the Pirate King!
Roger’s advisor!
Because he had actually guessed it right!
In the Marine’s base, inside a single-person room.
Rowen lowered his arm and dissipated the lightning entwined around his fingertips.
Looking through his position towards the sea, the merchant ship named “Larus” had just left the harbor and was heading towards Water 7.
It’s better not to reveal the investigation into Edward Weevil.
Rayleigh remained indifferent. As the Pirate King’s former Vice Captain, if Sengoku saw him, he would definitely rush over with more excitement than a husky seeing heavy snowfall.
And Shakky, as an Information dealer, her words carried weight.
She was also a target that Rowen must silence!
However…
“We have investigated the information you require, Vice Admiral Rowen…”
Rayleigh spoke after seeing that his Haoshoku Haki had no effect, he put his hand down again and continued to speak. “As Garp said, you are a qualified Marine! It seems that for you, everything only exists in terms of value or worthlessness, whether it’s human lives or principles.”
“The Justice that never comes too late? It’s just an excuse to put Sengoku’s mind at ease.”
“Do you think we would trust someone like you?”
Faced with Rayleigh’s intense gaze, Rowen fell silent…
So, my reputation has become this bad?
Naturally, these were only one-sided words from the perspective of pirates.
For the Marine faction and most of the common people, Rowen was a trustworthy guardian! The residents of Water 7 believed in him with their whole hearts and souls!
As Garp said, he was a qualified Marine… a Hero in the eyes of the Marines, and a villain in the eyes of pirates.
As the saying goes, “An enemy of theirs is a hero of ours.” It’s as simple as that.
The standpoint determines the angle, and the position determines the attitude towards the same thing.
That’s reality, the murky and dirty world of adults!
After a moment of silence, Rowen suddenly spoke up.
“The smell!”
“Huh?”
Rayleigh’s hand holding the bottle shook, looking confused.
“Why did you choose a garbage dump as the meeting place? The smell is too damn foul!”
Rayleigh: “…”
‘I really made it difficult for you by choosing a garbage dump as the meeting place! I apologize for the inconvenience!’
Rayleigh indicated that he was also helpless. It was just that there were fewer people in Sabaody, and if things got physical, it wouldn’t easily affect… at least not easily harm the civilians.
After a long silence, Rayleigh understood Rowen’s meaning… he had answered his own question, albeit with a nonsensical answer.
Now it was his turn to respond.
Without any hesitation, Rayleigh nodded and smiled, “Yes!”
Boom rumble!
In an instant, a shocking thunderbolt descended from the sky!
The thunder clone raised its palm, and the Gungnir Spear fell into its grasp, and he tightly held on to it.
Dazzling thunderlight illuminated the clone outlined by the blue crayon-like lines, making it translucent, almost godlike.
The spot representing the mouth on its face slowly opened and closed as Rowen spoke slowly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll snatch the things from you and then go kill Shakky?!”
“Naturally, I’m afraid…” Rayleigh nodded from the heart but immediately laughed, “But you can’t do it!”
Underneath his faint smile, there was hidden absolute confidence!
“Dark King Rayleigh… Very well! Let me see what someone like you can do!”
After saying that, Meteor Spear burst out, piercing towards Rayleigh’s face. The sharp edges were so intense that one could hardly keep their eyes open, and a strong sense of death loomed over the brain.
Rayleigh knew that if this move hit, even he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
After all, not everyone possesses the unreasonable defensive power of Kaido.
The thunder rushed like lightning and arrived in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Rayleigh suddenly reached behind the garbage pile and drew out a rusty iron sword. He aimed it at the Meteor Spear and swung it down.
Ding… Boom Rumble!!!
To make a long story short, from the moment the Meteor Spear was shot to Rayleigh swinging his sword, it was only a moment. The rusty iron sword turned into a divine weapon in Rayleigh’s hand! After a crisp sound, the Meteor Spear was shattered in the air.
The accumulated thunder instantly exploded, instantly destroying several small mountain-like trash piles around them. But at this moment, Rayleigh had already appeared in the air, avoiding the impact.
“I knew you would make a move… Well, whatever. Shanks told me that you tested his strength, right? Today, let me test yours, Young Rowen!”
Marine Rokushiki, Geppo!
“Really, can’t the Marines keep information more tightly sealed?”
Watching Rayleigh maintaining a floating state in the air, Rowen felt somewhat speechless. Fortunately, the “Ultimate Esoterics: Life Return” had its own set of techniques that were not included in Rokushiki, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Whoosh!
Blink!
The thunder clone suddenly appeared behind Rayleigh, and its arm transformed into a rapidly rotating electromagnetic sharp blade, stabbing toward Rayleigh. This move was extremely fast, and it was Rowen’s surefire way to deal with opponents up close.
But the opponent was Rayleigh, so it felt like Rowen was underestimating his opponent a little.
“It would soon become boring if you continue to use your clone, Young Rowen!”
Rayleigh smiled and raised the rusty iron sword he had picked up from the garbage pile, swinging it in a reverse grip!
Buzz!!!
