Chapter 576

Shakkys Rip-off Bar was changed from the clean and lively ones in the past.

Ah what!

A scream came from the bar. After the scream, Luffy and the others looked at Rayleigh, who was drinking the fine wine in his hand, in astonishment.

Luffy, who was sitting in front of the refrigerator, held a chicken leg in each hand, and shouted in disbelief: On the Pirate King s.h.i.+p

Ah! Relying lightly, Rayleigh refilled the wine gla.s.s and introduced himself: I am the deputy captain in the hands of the Pirate King Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, the Dark King.

Deputy captain!

Everyone who was shocked by the fact that Rayleigh was a crew member on the Pirate King s.h.i.+p was shocked when they heard that Rayleigh was actually the deputy captain. Usopp, who was drinking juice, directly sprayed the juice out of his mouth.

They didnt expect that this not-so-simple old man in front of him would actually be a crew member of Pirate King or the deputy captain.

Seeing that everyone was so surprised, Shakuyaku looked at Lin Tian suspiciously, Hey, Lin Tian, didnt you explain Rayleighs ident.i.ty to them?

On the one hand, Lin Tian replied: Because we dealt with the three World n.o.bles during the auction, so I didnt explain to them in time.

Robin put down the juice in her hand, looked at the stunned Nami and the others, feeling very strange, Didnt you all find out before?

Pointing to Rayleigh with both hands, Usopp burst into tears of excitement, This name is known to everyone in the world.

Thats right, there are many books with this name. Nami covered her mouth with tears of regret in her eyes. How come no one recognized him before.

Indeed, everyone would have heard this name once. Sanji still couldnt react from the shocking disappearance just now.

The name Rayleigh, Dark King, is not much inferior to that of Roger the Pirate King in the ears of pirates. For countless pirates, Rayleigh is the legendary idol, especially after the death of Roger the Pirate King.

Rayleigh the Dark King is the second person on the s.h.i.+p of the Pirate King Roger. In the eyes of the pirates, the Pirate King Roger is a legend that will never be surpa.s.sed, and Rayleigh is another living legend.

Zoro leaned on the sand and asked curiously, Why does a big shot like you know Hatchan?

Little Hachi Rayleigh explained: Twenty years ago, I was rescued by Hatchan when I was in distress at sea. He was my savior. Before he joined the Sun Pirates, our relations.h.i.+p was good.

Its Arlong. Luffy, who was frantically searching the refrigerator with his hands, interrupted suddenly.

However, Roger, the Pirate King, was beheaded by the marine twenty years ago. As the deputy captain, why are you fine? It stands to reason that you should all be caught by the marine.

This is something that not only Sanji, but Zoro and others, even the pirates of the whole world will be curious about. For most pirates, the Pirate King gang is a legendary existence. The legendary Roger and his gang disappeared overnight.

Therefore, many people have speculated that the marine must have fought against Roger and his gang, and all but Roger were killed in the battle.

The room suddenly fell into a tense silence. Rayleigh didnt speak, but gently turned the wine gla.s.s in his hand, as if thinking about something.

Pirate King surrendered. After a long silence, Rayleighs tone was very calm when he told the news.

Ha

Luffy and the others were immediately taken aback by what Rayleigh said. Pirate King Roger was captured by the marine. This is something that everyone in the world knows, but now someone says that Roger surrendered himself.

Ordinary people would not believe it, but now it is Rogers deputy captain who said this, so everyone has to believe it.

Lin Tian, who is a high-ranking officer in the marine, knows that many ordinary people dont know things, so he explained aloud: Roger indeed surrendered back then to my teacher, Luffys grandfather Garp.

In order to show off its power and at the same time deter the pirates on the Grand Line, the government announced to the outside world that Roger was arrested. Unexpectedly, Roger created the Golden Age of Pirates at the last moment.

Speaking of this, Lin Tian shook his head. He was really speechless. When the Marine at that time was filled with the Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku and other high-level marine officials, as well as the World Government, and they formulated this plan, Im afraid they never expected that instead of suppressing the arrogance of the pirates, they set off the prelude to the Golden Age of Pirates.

Why did he surrender?! Why? Nami asked very strangely.

After Roger became the Pirate King, he was the most powerful man in the world, possessing wealth, fame and power. Everyone couldnt figure out why he wanted to submit himself to the marine.

Gently swirling the wine gla.s.s, Rayleigh was about to drink it, but stopped in front of his mouth, and said calmly: Because he saw the end of our journey, and roughly four years before the public execution day, Roger suffered from incurable disease.

Uh

Hearing this, everyone couldnt help being shocked. Roger actually suffered from an incurable disease before he became Pirate King. This is not recorded. I am afraid that only a few people in the world know about it.

In the face of this disease that no one can cure, even Roger was very painful. At that time, the best physician was recognized at sea and was also the physician in charge of guarding the lighthouse, Twin Capes Crocus, only he with the ability to relieve pain, we begged him to join us and accompany us through the final voyage as a s.h.i.+ps doctor. Finally three years later, Roger, who was about to die, completed what the world called impossible to dominate the Grand Line.

Everyone was not very surprised that Crocus from Twin Capes stayed on the Pirate King s.h.i.+p, because Lin Tian had already told them.

The t.i.tle of Pirate King is of no use to a man who is about to die. When we reached our final destination and on the eve of our death, Roger disbanded the Pirates, and all the crew went their separate ways. I hardly knew how my companions are doing now.

After drinking the fine wine in the gla.s.s, Rayleigh filled it up for himself again, and gently turned the wine gla.s.s in his hand, as if Rayleigh had returned to the past.

Finally, Roger committed suicide. At the moment of the public execution, I heard that all the famous pirates gathered there, and the execution of Pirate King has attracted the attention of the world.

This is Roger, the Pirate King. Even at the last moment in this world, he lived his legendary life with vigor and vigor under the eyes of the whole world.

But I didnt go. He stopped shaking his gla.s.s, closed his eyes and slowly recalled the last scene before Roger left; the last words Roger said to him.

I will not die, partner.

Huh

After listening to Rayleighs last sentence, everyone who listened to the story was full of nervousness, as if the mountains in their hearts had moved away, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just hearing the general story of Roger the Pirate King from Rayleighs mouth, everyone felt very excited. The man who became the Pirate King really wrote a legendary life.

As if venting her strength, Nami lay in Lin Tians arms and sighed: We seem to have heard a great story, but the person involved sounds very tragic.

Its as if this Great Pirate Era was planned by Roger. Usopp said suddenly, which made Lin Tian and Rayleighs expressions change.

To be honest, not only Usopp, even most people will have such an idea after hearing Rogers story.

Especially Lin Tian, who has experienced so much on the Grand Line and also learned many secrets, the more he is sure of his guesses.

Rayleigh finished the drink in his gla.s.s in one gulp, Roger is dead, and only people of this era can carry it on, but Shanks is one of the eras that inherits Rogers will.

Well, uncle, do you know Shanks? Luffy stopped eating and asked excitedly.

Without answering, Rayleigh suddenly asked, Did you know a pirate named Bucky in the East Blue?

Nami and Zoros expressions suddenly changed, and they couldnt help but recall Buckys appearance in their minds.

Rayleigh laughed and said, Bucky and Shanks, both of them were apprentice crew members on my s.h.i.+p back then.

What! Shanks actually served as a crew member on Pirate Kings s.h.i.+p Luffy shouted in shock, covering his mouth.

At this moment, Robin stood up suddenly, struggling to ask: Mr. Rayleigh, I want to ask a question, what is the so-called will of D.? Its engraved on ancient text.

Do you want to ask about the blank hundred years? Before Robin finished speaking, Rayleigh had already guessed what Robin wanted to say, and advised: Little girl, please find the answer step by step, maybe we and Ohara is a little too hasty, if I tell you now-

No!

Before Rayleigh finished speaking, Robin closed her eyes, with a faint smile on her face, under Rayleighs bewildered eyes.

Robin shook her head and said, My goal has changed. Pursuing that blank hundred years is no longer the purpose of my existence. I am now just a scholar pursuing history.

Speaking of this, Robin couldnt help but glance at everyone sitting and standing beside her. Partners and love are already the motivation for Robin to continue living.

Looking at Robins gentle eyes, Rayleigh suddenly understood something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Usopp ran out, stopped Rayleigh, and asked a question that the whole world was curious about, Well, uncle, where is the One Piece, the unique secret treasure

Usopp. Luffy stood up, loudly stopped Usopp from asking, I dont know where the treasure is, and I dont even want to know if there is any treasure. Although I dont know anything, everyone puts their lives on the sea like this. If the uncle leaks the truth, I would rather stop being a pirate than take on a boring adventure.

Can you do it? Rayleigh turned around and asked suddenly; The Grand Line is more difficult than you can imagine, and there are powerful enemies. Can you rule this sea?

Facing Rayleighs serious question, Luffy suddenly smiled, covered his beloved straw hat on his head, and replied with a smile.

I dont want to rule. The freest person in this sea is the Pirate King!
