Chapter 183: Anyone who has often been a pirate knows this (fourth update, 14w, please subscribe!)
“Should I buy myself?”
Rayleigh opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be empty. Bogujing looked up at Storm calmly.
"Bailong, I'm just a coated old man now. Even the money for drinking is borrowed from the tavern.
"I can't afford to buy myself, let alone It's a devil fruit! ”
Raleigh was not only a drinker but also a gambler.
Every time he lost all his money, he would sell himself to the slave auction house on the Chambord Islands, and then walk away.
It has been like this for more than ten years.
This kind of old pirate with "all five poisons" really can't save money.
“That’s really a pity.”
Storm spoke of regret, but there was no change in expression on his face.
He sat down next to Rayleigh and asked casually as if chatting with an ordinary old man.
"Actually, I have always been curious about one thing. I wonder if the famous Pluto Rayleigh can help me answer my questions."
Before Rayleigh could speak, Storm He asked himself.
“Why is your nickname ‘Pluto’?”
Facing the sudden question, Rayleigh was confused for a moment.
He wanted to reach out, but his severely fractured arms could not move according to his wishes, and in the end they only shook twice.
However, this kind of action also reflects Rayleigh's current speechless mood.
“Aren’t we enemies? Why should I answer your question?”
“Well...”
Storm frowned in pretense of distress, and then replied.
“For the sake of saving your life?
“Everyone who has been a pirate knows that when you encounter enemies, just kill them all.
“You are still alive now, shouldn’t you be grateful to me for saving your life?”
Reilly must admit that this is the first time in his many years of life that he has encountered such a dislike. The new kid!
"Although it is not in line with the mature temperament of an adult to speak like this, I still have to say - I really don't like you."
Reilly put down his two arms, as if he had put down two soft pieces. noodles.
"As for my 'nickname'...it's not like I want to be called 'Pluto'.
"Just like you, is it because you are called 'White Dragon' , is that why others call you 'White Dragon'? "
"The reason why I am called 'White Dragon' is because I really have a blue-eyed white dragon. ”
Storm answered seriously, and then asked directly.
“But you are called ‘Pluto’, is it because you own a [Pluto]?”
If it is just [Pluto].
Rayleigh would also think that Bailong was addressing him.
But there is a quantifier "ship" added in front of [Pluto].
Then this [Pluto].
It can only refer to one of the three legendary ancient weapons, the most evil battleship named after God——
[Pluto Pluto]!
For the first time, Rayleigh looked squarely at Hakuryuu, the young king of the Shichibukai.
"What do you know? About that ship [Pluto]."
"I definitely don't know more than you."
Storm replied lightly.
"You are the one who 'knows everything', aren't you?"
"Haha...hahaha!"
Reilly looked at Storm, he Suddenly he laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, and he almost burst into tears.
"The King's Shichibukai... Hahahaha! I didn't expect that the World Government would let such an interesting guy like you serve as the King's Shichibukai!
"Hakuryuu, what do you want to know? I can tell you about 'everything'. "
Rayleigh has never been afraid to tell the outside world about Rafdru's secrets.
In fact, when he met the Straw Hats, he had wanted to tell these "young people" "Bu" about the secret of the final island.
But the "God Nika" who got the answer in advance directly refused...
Now Reilly meets a new guy that he's somewhat interested in.
Even if the opponent just defeated me.
Rayleigh didn't mind telling the other party the secret of the final island.
"Forget it, I have no interest in the past of the sea."
Ström refused without hesitation.
"I believe in the victory of man over nature. I will only feel disgusted by some destined divine savior.
"What interests me the most is the question just now.
“Why is your nickname ‘Pluto’?”
The smile on Rayleigh’s old face froze instantly.
I am discussing "everything" with you now!
A hundred years of blankness, a huge kingdom, Joey Boy, ancient weapons, the D family...
We can talk about anything!
Why is this kid obsessed with some bullshit nickname?
Rayleigh replied stiffly.
“I don’t know!”
"But I'm really curious!"
Storm said seriously.
"Gol D. Roger, Silbaz Rayleigh, Sparky Jabba.
"The 'Pirate King' of the Roger Pirates and his 'King' 's wings'.
“If your nickname is ‘Pluto’, shouldn’t the other two people’s nicknames be ‘King of Heaven’ and ‘King of Neptune’?
"But I have never heard of anything like this."
The three ancient weapons of the huge kingdom-King of Heaven, Hades and Neptune.
The three aces of the Roger Pirates - Roger, Rayleigh and Jabba.
If "Pluto" is Rayleigh.
Roger and Jabba should also correspond to a "king", right?
"The Pirate King and the Wings of the King..."
Rayley's expression was dazed for a moment, as if he was caught in the memories of that year.
After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and stared at Storm.
"I take back what I said before. There is still a little bit worth liking about you."
"Hey~"
Hearing this, Storm suddenly showed a disgusted expression.
At this time.
Princess Mononoke flew over.
“Lord White Dragon!”
Storm immediately dropped the seriously injured old pirate and looked at Perona.
"What did the proprietress in the tavern say?"
The proprietress in the tavern?
Rayleigh instantly raised his ears and barely raised his body, glaring at Storm, completely lacking the calm and calm attitude just now.
"White Dragon! What did you do to Xia Qi?"
Storm directly ordered Perona without looking at Rayleigh.
"Negative Ghost!" "No problem!"
Even in the soul state, it does not affect Perona's ability to use [Ghost Fruit].
A white ghost was released from her body and penetrated Rayleigh's body instantly.
Rayleigh, who was seriously injured, was unable to dodge and was directly hit by the "Negative Ghost".
The old pirate, who had barely managed to sit upright just now, lay down again under the influence of the "negative ghost".
Old Leili’s eyes were dull and he muttered to himself.
“A pirate who can’t protect his companions... is worse than trash...”
Storm ignored Rayleigh who was extremely negative and just looked at Perona.
“Huh? Oh!”
Perona recalled what Storm had just explained and immediately answered.
“That old woman, she said she would raise money as soon as possible and then prepare a Devil Fruit!”
The “old woman” Perona mentioned was definitely Xia Qi.
Stom just let Xia Qi go, but that doesn’t mean he will do nothing.
Rayleigh has no money?
Xia Qi is rich!
Storm first sold Rayleigh to the World Government.
Then he sold Xia Qi the "fate" that the other party would encounter next.
Friends who are often pirates know that you need to eat more fish!
Xia Qi’s financial resources are naturally not as good as those of the World Government.
But the other party's intelligence gathering ability is still very good.
Xia Qi is active in Shampoo Islands all year round.
It is not difficult for her to collect a Devil Fruit.
In fact.
The "buyers" that Storm has just found are not just the World Government and Xia Qi.
He just sent Rayleigh's message to Moonlight Moria.
Moonlight Moria originally planned to go to Impel Down City.
If Rayleigh's shadow can be "cut" away by Moonlight Moria, that would be his luck.
Storm doesn't mind this at all.
But don’t think that he will personally hand over Pluto Rayleigh into the hands of Moonlight Moria.
Moonlight Moria was able to receive this news, and naturally she paid a certain price.
Storm's request is - a Devil Fruit, or a Devil Fruit ability user.
Moonlight Moria naturally agreed.
Devil Fruits may be hard to find.
But Devil Fruit users are not that hard to find.
Storm was very satisfied with Xia Qi’s attitude.
He had made a decision before. If Xia Qi did not cooperate, then he would hand him over to the World Government.
Since I like seclusion so much.
There is actually no difference between the Shampoo Islands and the Deep Sea Prison...right?
Fortunately, Xia Qi cooperated enough.
Storm nodded slightly to Perona.
"Thank you for your hard work, Perona. After this is over, you can go play."
"Great!"
Perona flew three times 10 feet tall, like a nimble lark.
A while passed.
A familiar aura finally appeared in Storm's [Seeing Color Haki].
In the sky, golden light flashed.
Kizaru makes his debut!
"It is indeed Pluto Rayleigh..."
As soon as Kizaru appeared, his eyes were fixed on the old pirate next to him who had both arms broken and could not get up again.
"I actually defeated a pirate of this level...
"White Dragon, he is as strong as a monster~"
Perona saw the appearance of the person clearly and was instantly shocked. With a cry, he flew back to Storm's side.
"Admiral Kizaru! "
"Huh? Ability person? ”
When Kizaru saw Perona flying in the sky, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, as if he had just discovered her.
In fact, Kizaru had already searched the memories in his mind, but could not find any relevant reward orders for Perona.
This kind of pink-haired girl who can fly has obvious abilities and characteristics.
If Kizaru had seen Perona's reward order, he would definitely be impressed.
But no...
There is no reward for Perona.
The result of Kizaru's preliminary judgment is——
Perona is the newcomer abducted by Storm!
"Miss, I must remind you that this terrifying man standing next to you is the King's Shichibukai with a bounty of 95 million beli~"
"Slightly slightly ——”
Perona just made a face at Kizaru.
"Master Bailong is not scary at all!"
"What an enviable sense of trust~"
Kizaru adjusted his glasses, sighed, and slowly Xu focused his attention on Storm.
"Bailong, you really surprise me again and again~"
Kizaru's words definitely came from his heart.
What surprised him was not the mess of Island 13.
But Storm’s aura that is still extremely stable!
It was as if he had just defeated Rayleigh, the King of Hades, and it was not a waste at all for Storm.
“It’s really scary~”
Since Bailong is still in his prime.
Then the mission of Wulaoxing will naturally be cancelled.
Kizaru unhurriedly took out two small treasure boxes and handed them to Storm.
"This is what the Five Old Stars asked me to bring. You can check it yourself."
In this "Pluto Trade", the price given by the World Government is five. Devil Fruit plus an artificial Devil Fruit.
But this time Kizaru brought only two.
Storm had anticipated this.
He reached out and took the two treasure boxes handed over by Kizaru, and opened the lids without hesitation.
Two Devil Fruits lay quietly inside.
Storm, who was familiar with the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book", recognized the names of these two devil fruits at a glance.
[Superman type·Bubble Fruit]!
[Natural type·Such fruits]!
