Chapter 168: Hades Rayleigh
In a tavern in the Shampoo Islands, two men who have made the world government and the navy look like a ray of light gathered together to drink and chat.
These two men, one is the former deputy captain of One Piece Roger, Rayley, known as the "Pluto", and the other is also a crew member of One Piece Roger's ship. Now the big pirate is also famous all over the world, "Red-haired" Shanks.
"The great route, so many big pirates and navy, can't hurt you at all," Rayley looked at Shanks's left arm sleeve. "I didn't expect that you just went to the East China Sea and you didn't even have an arm."
Shanks was slightly stunned, then smiled and touched his left arm: "I just paid a little price for the next era, just like Captain Roger."
"'A little price'...," Rayley shook his wine glass, "The next era in your eyes is in the East China Sea?" Rayley asked.
"Yes, can you believe it? There was a little ghost in Donghai who said exactly the same thing as Captain Roger. I was really surprised at that time," Shanks said excitedly when he talked about Luffy. "I believe he will definitely become an amazing pirate, so I pressed on him, along with the captain's straw hat and this arm."
Shanks vividly told Rayleigh about what happened to him in the year he parked in the East China Sea Windmill Village, especially the little things he communicated with Luffy.
After hearing him, Rayley was told that after the drink, he imitated Roger's tone and angrily said that he wanted to grab the big fish that bit off Shanks' left arm and roast it.
After Rayley imitated, he and Shanks laughed at the same time.
"The captain is always like this," Shanks said with a smile, "as long as there is a thought in his mind, he will definitely be able to complete it, sometimes even regardless of the consequences."
Reilly paused slightly when drinking, looked at Shanks who was incomprehensible tone, and then listened to Shanks continue, "After Captain Roger's death, I have been traveling around the world. Few people know better than me what Captain Roger's words back then brought to this world."
“What did it bring?”
"The heroes who flocked in, and countless scums," Shanks took a sip of wine. "Captain Roger did nothing wrong. He opened the door to the new era before he died. However, the price was a bit heavy. Not only did Captain Roger's life, but also the stable life of countless civilians. Along the way, I don't know how many people defeated myself because of Captain Roger's words, and there are countless scums who ran from land to sea that have heard of."
Rayley grinned: "Is there only some scum that is worth mentioning?"
Shanks heard this and said, "Not that, I met a very interesting pirate in the East China Sea. He expelled other evil pirates within the power, protected the lives and work of civilians in the territory, and even helped them rebuild their homes. It was in him that I saw something different from other pirates."
"It's really an interesting person, you should invite him on the boat." Rayley said,
"I invited it, but I was rejected without hesitation."
Shanks smiled bitterly, and Raylei burst into laughter when he heard this.
"After so many years of the era of the Great Pirates, things are no longer as chaotic as they were at the beginning, and gradually stabilize. People from the previous era, such as Captain Roger, are responsible for sowing seeds. What our generation should do, I think should be to protect the seedlings that are beginning to grow vigorously, and to stop losses in time, and when people from the next era grow up, they will not leave them a ruined world."
"Stop loss?"
"Because enough people have destroyed their original life and even died in the era of the Great Pirates," Shanks said in a deep voice. "In this world, our generation has the responsibility to prevent it from continuing to worsen."
"Shanks," Rayley stared at Shanks for a moment, exhaled, and then cried with Shanks for a while, "Roger was really not wrong at the beginning. You have become the same amazing man as him."
For a person like Rayley, his judging pirates, in addition to strength, is the most important thing to have a vision of the world.
In this world with devil fruits, any cat or dog who eats a natural devil fruit can gain strong strength, but it can truly become a person who influences or even changes an era, and all have a big picture in their hearts.
Rayley took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Shanks: "What is the name of the pirate you mentioned?"
"Luffy?"
Rayley smiled: "It's not that little devil."
"William."
"It seems that what he does has a great impact on you," Rayley said.
"I saw another possibility in him, and pirates may not necessarily bring only destruction and chaos." Shanks admitted generously.
"I don't know if I have the chance to meet him." Rayley said.
"He is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, so he will definitely go to the great route, and he will definitely not be unknown when entering," Shanks raised his head and drank the wine on the table. "So I think you should have a great chance to meet."
"I hope so," said Rayley.
...
The opportunities in life are always unpredictable.
Gaseta, a former editor of Donghai Daily, used the word "formerly" because his position, together with Donghai Daily itself, has become history.
The East China Sea Daily once used the hot topic of alcohol ban to make a big fuss around King Norton I.
Gaseta and his colleagues from the East China Sea Daily wanted to vilify and slander Norton I, intending to make him a clown-like hot person. Because the newspaper was not in the territory of the Navia Kingdom, Norton I could not control them, they were so unscrupulous. But they did not count that there was a word in this world called harming them.
Half a year ago, the king of the Kingdom of Fales where the newspaper was located was angry at their willful slander and attacking Norton I, who was also the same monarch, and believed that their behavior was unpretentious.
Overnight, the Donghai Daily, which is quite famous in the East China Sea, disappeared without a trace, and senior officials of the newspaper were arrested.
Because Gaseta is a journalist, he is more informed and knows that the world is like this, and has no reason to say to these kings. After hearing the rumor of the wind, he disguised himself as a disguise, escaped with great fate, left the Kingdom of Fales, and was wandered in a foreign land.
In the end, in order to make a living, Sherlock, ordered by William, was recruited through the Sihai Business Company. As a talent in the press, William was raised like a disciple of the Warring States Period in the previous life, in case of emergency.
