Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Everyone?"

"Ah."

"Outstanding appearance, excellent temperament, strong abilities, polite, and considerate,"

Shakky winked at Lox: "I really like you, bro. If I were a few decades younger, I might have dumped Ray and gone after you."

Nami: "..."

isn't it?

Is Xiao Luo really that charming?

She doesn't deny that Xiao Luo is very beautiful and has a great temperament, but how could a woman who has just met her "confess" to Lox?

Rayleigh: "..."

He, "Old Lei," is still around.

Is this really okay?

Rocks smiled and said, "It's truly an honor to be spoken to like that by the former world's most beautiful woman..."

Nami: "!!!"

This elegant lady was actually the world's most beautiful woman in the past?

Is it really that exaggerated?

Robin's eyes flashed, clearly having gleaned Shakky's identity from the few words they'd gleaned...

Kuina remained aloof as always, but she did glance at Shakky once more.

"Young man, you know a lot of things. It seems your name is no coincidence."

"But I never had the title of 'World's Most Beautiful Woman' before."

Shakky raised an eyebrow: "Back then, there were quite a few who could rival me, but none of them were as good as the current 'Empress' Boa Hancock."

Lox said, "The current 'Empress' may not be able to surpass the 'Empress' of the past."

No woman dislikes being praised, and Xia Qi's smile widened: "Oh dear, you're making me blush."

"What a flattering guy! I don't dislike people who are good with words."

"Cough cough..."

Rayleigh coughed lightly to indicate that he was still there...

Rayleigh looked at the group and said, "Please, everyone, don't stand. Please sit down."

Everyone sat down on the sofa.

Lockes then stated bluntly, "The island is now in chaos, and it's a dangerous place for us, so I won't waste any more words."

"What can I do for you, Senior Rayleigh?"

"There are indeed some things..."

Rayleigh carefully chose his words, narrowed his eyes, stared at Rocks, and slowly said, "You're the one who destroyed the Arlong Pirates, aren't you?"

Rocks answered without hesitation: "It's the Buggy Pirates!"

Rayleigh: "..."

Are you kidding me?

Of course, it was also because Bucky had come here to catch up with him earlier and told him in detail about "someone's" "bad behavior".

Otherwise, he would have really thought that Buggy had destroyed the Arlong Pirates...

We learn from Buggy that the reason he left the East Blue and inexplicably became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

A large part of the reason was the "frame-up" by "Blackwing Demon" Locus...

Anyway, Rayleigh already knew.

The person who destroyed the Arlong Pirates is right in front of you!

He didn't care about the Arlong Pirates at all, but Hachi...

Rayleigh took a sip of the whiskey Shakky offered him and said casually, "Bucky came to visit me once..."

Locus: "..."

He kept wondering how Rayleigh knew about this.

I never expected it to be Bucky?

Very well, he'll remember this grudge.

I'll cause trouble for them later!

"Alright, I did indeed wipe out the Arlong Pirates."

Rocks remained unconcerned: "At the time, I was not strong enough and did not want to be targeted by the Navy, so I gave the credit to that red-nosed guy."

"So, Rayleigh-senpai, you're looking for me because it's related to the Arlong Pirates?"

Knowing full well what was going on, Rocks smiled and stared intently at Rayleigh: "Want to avenge them?"

"..."

Upon hearing the words "Arlong Pirates," Nami narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

Although this hatred disappeared when the Arlong Pirates were destroyed by Rocks, the pain of the past will not disappear with the death of the other party...

Her mother and some of her fellow villagers died at the hands of the Arlong Pirates!

If that old guy dares to say yes...

She'll electrocute the other person until they're charred, no matter how important they are!

"I don't care about the Arlong Pirates, but there is someone in the Arlong Pirates who saved my life..."

Rayleigh took another sip of his drink and calmly said, "The debt of being saved is very heavy to me..."

'Crack!'

Upon hearing this, an electric shock emanated from Nami, interrupting Rayleigh's next words.

Nami stood up, her brown eyes fixed on Rayleigh, the lightning crackling around her body even more intensely, revealing the turmoil within her...

Nami coldly said to Rayleigh, "What? You want to lay a hand on Little Luo for some trash?"

"You have a savior, but our village doesn't? Or does your savior give you the right to commit crimes and kill people at will in our village?"

"You want to avenge someone who killed him? Who the hell do you think you are, you old man!"

"..."

Rayleigh stared at Nami, whose body crackled with lightning and who was coldly staring at him. After a moment of surprise, he clearly realized something...

The words I wanted to say somehow got stuck in my throat...

Is this orange-haired girl... a victim of the Arlong Pirates?

That little eight...

"Let's hear what Senior Rayleigh has to say first."

Rocks hadn't expected Nami to react so strongly, and he pulled Nami's hand to sit down.

Looking at Rayleigh, Rocks said calmly, "If Rayleigh wants to avenge your savior, then I don't mind taking on the task."

"The favor of saving my life is indeed immense. After all, it concerns your kindness and righteousness, so I can't say much more..."

After a pause, Rocks grinned, his unrestrained smile so obvious: "So how do you plan to resolve this, Rayleigh-senpai?"

"A fight? A bloody battle? I'm ready for anything!"

"Xiao Ba is a kind-hearted person, it's just a pity that she followed the wrong person..."

Rayleigh sighed.

He downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, without responding to Lox's words.

He feared that if he said another word about his previous thoughts, the orange-haired girl, who had suffered because of the Arlong Pirates and Hachi, would attack him directly...

The other party was extremely agitated at the time and regarded him as an "enemy".

With his strength, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of Nami.

but……

His savior, Hachi, made a mistake, and the people who were harmed because of Hachi were right in front of him.

In this situation...

How could he possibly say it?

In fact, he didn't intend to do anything to Rocks. At most, he would let Rocks take a sword strike from him to settle this grudge.

This was based on his sense of benevolence and morality; he could not turn a blind eye to it...

But now...

Rayleigh was in a state of utter confusion; even with his extensive experience, he didn't know how to handle the situation...

"Hehehe, kind-hearted? What a kind-hearted person!"

Upon hearing this, Nami sneered: "If helping others do evil counts as kindness, then the Celestial Dragons are definitely the kindest people in the world!"

"Why don't you become a dog of the Heavenly Dragons and do those things you consider 'kind-hearted'?"

Nami's words were sharp: "Oh, I almost forgot, you're from Roger's Pirates..."

"The Pirate King Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, making the number of pirates dozens or even hundreds of times greater than before."

"Hehehe, judging from your thinking, that is indeed quite 'kind,' after all, helping others do evil is 'kind' to you!"

"The number of people who have died because of this so-called Great Pirate Era is far greater than before. You all think these people deserve to die, right?"

Nami sneered: "These dead people don't have the 'saviors' you mentioned, or the family and friends you speak of, right?"

"If so...shouldn't we seek 'revenge' against your Roger Pirates?"

"Or do you Roger Pirates really think that starting that bullshit 'Great Pirate Era' is a 'kind' thing?"
