One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 144 Rayleigh and Xia Qi

"What?!" Skeleton Man Brook exclaimed in the bar, "That junior Roger actually became the Pirate King?!"

Brooke still has an impression of Roger. When he went to sea as a member of the Lombard Pirates, he did hear about a rookie pirate named Roger in the East China Sea.

Buick Brook looks like a skeleton. With Brook's qualifications and time at sea, he can indeed call Roger a junior. Of course, no one can speak on the same level. In terms of qualifications, Brooke is indeed senior, but in terms of his understanding of the sea, Brooke, who has been trapped in the Magic Triangle for decades before entering the second half of the Grand Line, The seniors are far inferior to juniors like Roger and Rayleigh.

Speaking of Roger, Rayleigh also showed a nostalgic look. He recalled the last time the Roger Pirates sailed together and said with emotion: "At that time, Roger was suffering from a disease that no one could cure. , everyone was helpless, and even Roger himself felt miserable. At that time, the doctor with the best reputation at sea was also a lighthouse keeper, and people called him the Cullocas of the Twin Towers. Only this People have the ability to alleviate that pain.”

"We tried our best to get to his door and let him join us on the voyage known as the 'Final Adventure'... Finally, he tried his best to help Roger extend his life for several years and successfully completed the voyage around the great A week’s journey on the route.”

"Kulokas?!" Everyone was surprised when they heard Kurokas' name. Brooke was even more surprised and opened his mouth full of bones - was his old friend such a powerful person? !

No, according to the timeline, it was the Lombard Pirates who first met Kurokas, who had not yet joined the Roger Pirates...

Matifa, Morana and others were also very surprised.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly unremarkable lampkeeper was once a member of the Pirate King's crew.

"It's true that 'people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured'," Molana sighed. "I didn't expect Mr. Kurokas to be a crew member of One Piece."

However, Gao Shifu recalled some details: "Indeed, he once said that he worked as a ship's doctor on a certain ship for several years... I didn't expect that he was actually on the ship of the Pirate King!"

"So you guys know him too. It seems that he is still healthy. I'm so happy!" Since leaving the Roger Pirates, these old friends have not seen each other again. At this time, they heard that Kuroka Si is still healthy, and Reilly seems happy.

Speaking of Kurokas, Rayleigh’s nature is very good, so he said a little more. He inadvertently revealed that Kurokas went to sea to find a certain pirate group. In other words, the reason why Kurokas is willing to go to sea is entirely because of Brook!

Brooke was so moved that she burst into tears: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Kurokas would do it for us..."

The rest of the people also said that although they knew the story of Roger the Pirate King, hearing it told by the important person personally was a completely different feeling than reading the story in the newspaper.

After that, it came to the session between Reilly and Profik. The right hand of the former Pirate King, one of the founders of the "Great Pirate Age", started the first dialogue in history with the government's King Shichibukai, the "lackey" of the World Government.

"The government wants to use the 'Shichibukai' as a check and balance on pirates," Rayleigh took a sip of wine and looked directly at Profik, "but they will not succeed! The era created by Roger will never Will be destroyed by 'a brat like you'!"

As a crew member of One Piece and one of the founders of the Great Pirate Age, Rayleigh was naturally disgusted with the "Shichibukai" system introduced by the World Government.

"I don't care about an era created by the dead, nor am I interested in the throne of the 'Pirate King', nor do I want to be a 'stooge' for the World Government." Profik didn't have the slightest concern because Rayleigh was the legendary great pirate. Lu Yie said, "I became the 'King Shichibukai' just because I want to do business well and live a stable life."

Reilly didn't care at all about the "disrespect" towards Roger in Profik's tone, and he laughed. Such an outspoken junior is to a certain extent exactly the type he likes.

"Hahahaha," the Pirate King's right wrist said cheerfully, "This is the first time I've heard someone refer to pirates as a business!"

"No, Mr. Reilly, it's not pirates, it's real business!" Profic "corrected" seriously. Then, he talked endlessly about his business, technology and cultural development plans. Use technology to change people's lives, connect the four seas, the great routes, and even sky islands and fish-man islands into a whole, transform the world's culture and economy, and in the end, create a brand new world.

"...In the end, I will use these to create a brand new world!"

The conversation between Profik and Reilly seemed a little tense, and the two were tit-for-tat from time to time. Profik ambitiously drew up a blueprint for using business and technology to transform the world, and even invited Raleigh to join him. Reilly insisted that Profic knew little about "history" and that his methods could not change the world.

"Mr. Reilly, come with us to turn this world upside down!" When the boy in front of him said what Roger said back then, even Reilly was in a daze. At that moment, Rayleigh seemed to be back to his youth again. On the shore, he saw the pirate with a mustache on the boat...

I really miss it!

But after all, he is no longer the passionate young man who once feared nothing.

"The world government will never let you arbitrarily transform the world according to your own ideas!"

“Once there is an appropriate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is a 25% profit, it will be used everywhere; if there is a 50% profit, it will become active; if there is a 100% profit, it will take risks; For 300% profit, he dares to trample all laws; for % profit, he dares to commit any crime, and is even willing to risk the gallows!"

The more he knew, the more Rayleigh felt the power of the World Government, the more cautious he became, and the more he couldn't shake off his burden: "Don't be so brazen, you don't know anything at all!"

"What don't we know? Is it Joyboy? Is it Nika? Is it the 'Historical Text'? Is it the 'Blank Hundred Years'? Is it the 'King of Heaven'? Or is it Mary Joa's 'Throne of the Void'?" Rayleigh is not here Someone might be watching, and it was impossible for him to say these things, so Profik said it without any scruples.

"Even if I don't know anything, what can I do?"

“Can’t you shape the future if you don’t know history?”

"I can build a battleship stronger than Pluto, a weapon stronger than the King of Heaven, and even a mermaid princess!"

"I don't need any Joey Boy, and I don't even need Nika to change the world!"

Profik suddenly stood up.

Rayleigh was stunned at first. Information in the world of One Piece is quite limited. There is a lot of information about the secrets of the sea that only those at the top of the world can know. Although Profik is the King of the Shichibukai, he is still far from the "top of the world".

But why does he actually know so much?

What shocked Rayleigh even more was that some of what Profic said was known to the Roger Pirates, such as Joey Boy, the text of history and the blank hundred years. And there are some that even the Roger Pirates don't know about, such as the "Blank Throne".

How could Profik know so much? Even with Lei Li's knowledge, he found it a bit unbelievable.

Reilly didn't delay long, though. After half a lifetime, he has honed his unparalleled strength and character. This unexpected little thing can't stop the Pirate King's right wrist.

Rayleigh stood up, his fierce domineering aura swept over him, heading towards Profik. No matter how you say it, "magnitude" is the most important qualification for a young man!

Profik, do you have such qualifications?

"You desperate lunatic!"

The almost substantial domineering force made everyone except Xia Qi and Profik look solemn.

"You stubborn antique!"

Profic was not affected by the overlord's domineering aura at all and remained calm and composed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Although tit-for-tat, it can be regarded as an ideological "discussion".

……

Compared to Reilly and Profic, it was Matifa and Shaqi who "had a great time talking to each other". Perhaps it was because Matifa's age aroused Shaqi's motherly love, and Shaqi liked this little girl very much. .

The two chatted about some topics between women, and Xia Qi also took the initiative to pour a glass of milk for Matifa to drink. Matifa quickly let down her guard and took the initiative to tell a lot of things related to their voyage. Fortunately, Matifa didn't say much about everyone's abilities and Dawn's purpose.

Moreover, Lei Li and Xia Qi are quite trustworthy in terms of their status. Therefore, Profik did not stop it.

"Brother said that if you join the 'Shichibukai' you can have both sides of the world government and pirates," Matifa tilted her head and sucked yogurt while saying, "My brother has always had a hard time, because of the friendship. Only those who cannot afford the gold in the sky go to sea. Once you become a 'Shichibukai', you no longer have to worry about these things."

"Then you have to be careful, the world government is not trustworthy." Xia Qi reminded her like a big sister.

"Well, don't worry, Sister Xia," Matifa nodded and said seriously, "We are not trustworthy to them either!"

"Hehehe," Xia Qi covered her face and chuckled, "You are really interesting!"

The two chatted for a while, and for the first time, Xia Qi actually offered to take Matifa shopping nearby. Of course, the premise is that Profik will pay for it.

Profik thought for a while and agreed. Although the area around Island No. 13 is said to be an illegal zone, Xia Qi has been responsible for intelligence work for a long time and is very well-informed. In addition, as a big pirate worthy of being hunted by Garp and escaping, Xia Qi's strength is very trustworthy, and she will not encounter any danger at all around here.

……

When leaving the tavern, Matifa had put on a new set of clothes - more beautiful than before. Xia Qi's aesthetics was unexpectedly reliable.

Brooke was still in shock and had not recovered. He found that the new team he had joined did not seem to be as harmless as it seemed.

Profik couldn't help but sigh.

Dealing with a big pirate like Rayleigh is really not an easy thing. Although for some reason, Rayleigh's domineering aura seemed to have no effect on him, Rayleigh's own aura still gave Profic a great sense of oppression.

Fortunately, this visit to Leili was fruitful. In addition to hearing some interesting stories about the Roger Pirates, Profic also asked Rayleigh about a lot of things related to Armed Haki. Rayleigh did provide guidance - although it was far less serious than when he guided Luffy. But it was enough for Profik to get inspired.

Profic was satisfied with this. After all, he was not a destined child like Luffy. He was satisfied with getting a little guidance. Don't underestimate Rayleigh's guidance. In just two years, this teacher was able to turn a newbie pirate who knew nothing about Haki into one who could compete with the veteran Shichibukai like Doflamenco. Domineering master. Even if Teacher Keaido’s mace teaching method can achieve such good results, it is inseparable from the good foundation laid by Teacher Lei.

What's more, he also has the experience of reading One Piece in his previous life, which can also be helpful to some extent.

It's a pity that Rayleigh was too deeply influenced by Roger and was unlikely to change his mind. It is estimated that they can only be regarded as ordinary friends at most. They can say hello and ask for information occasionally, so they can't expect much.

I just don’t know what Rayleigh and Roger saw in Lovedru.

Although he said he didn't care about history, in fact Profik was still very curious. After all, history plays an important role in the world setting of One Piece. A lot of information about world government is hidden in the text of history. If used properly, a lot can be done.

If given the opportunity, Profic would never miss any historical content. Unfortunately, even if he asked Reilly, he would probably get nothing.

……

In the tavern, Rayleigh sat in front of the bar as usual.

He was also not at peace in his heart. A conversation with Profik made him seem to see a completely different future. Neither he nor Captain Roger had ever imagined a future.

"Will it be successful?" Reilly picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

No matter what happens in the future, he is just a "retired" old man now.

"You're going to turn the world upside down, right?"
