Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"It's quite normal for an old man like you to have such thoughts!"

"Xiao Luo is my savior, the savior of our village. He killed a piece of trash who helped others do evil, and you want to cause him trouble?"

Nami didn't use her electric powers because Rocks was holding her hand...

She stared at Riley, her eyes icy: "You can attack Xiao Luo for the sake of your savior, and I can attack you for the sake of my savior."

"Although I can't beat you, if you dare to lay a hand on Xiao Luo or even hurt a single hair on her head, I will absolutely not let you go, you disgusting old man!"

"Because we share the same stance on this matter; who doesn't have a 'savior'?"

Chapter 181 Rayleigh is speechless! One should have a broader perspective!

"..."

Rayleigh remained silent.

This little girl's words are really sharp...

However, the other party is right.

The start of the Great Pirate Era affected the entire world, impacting countless people.

They are not unaware of this.

But... it was all for the "opportunity" to arrive, and for the purpose of burying this "dark" era.

They had to do it, no... Roger had to do it!

"Labor pains" are unavoidable.

Everything is for the future...

Even though that's how I think, it's impossible to say that I don't feel guilty.

The number of people affected by the "pain" is countless.

This is a fact that the Roger Pirates cannot hide...

As for Xiaoba...

What the other person said is even more correct.

Xiao Ba followed the wrong person, aiding and abetting evil and committing many wrongdoings, which cannot be covered up.

Just like the Roger Pirates, they were also considered "accomplices" because of the Great Pirate Era that Roger started...

These are all unforgivable things!

Nami's words left Rayleigh speechless, unable to find a single point to refute them.

He even realized how ridiculous and absurd his previous idea of ​​having Rocks take his sword and settle their score was...

If one can ignore the "truth and reasons" because of so-called benevolence and righteousness, how is he any different from those Celestial Dragons who have done all sorts of evil deeds?

No, it's even more despicable and disgusting.

That person really knew how to insult me...

'This little girl…'

Rocks tightened his grip on Nami's hand, as if to comfort her, but inwardly he was surprised that Nami could say such a thing.

His reasoning was sound and well-founded, causing Rayleigh's expression to change repeatedly...

And there's no way to refute it!

Did you study persuasion techniques?

"..."

The brother and sister from the Thunderfire Pirates were dumbfounded.

They already knew Rayleigh's identity: the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, a renowned figure on the high seas.

However, Nami left him speechless...

As expected of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group.

awesome!

'If it's an enemy, even the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, I'd cut him down!'

Kuina was the one who truly destroyed the Arlong Pirates.

Apart from the dragon, all the other fishmen died by her sword.

He also knew about the atrocities the Arlong Pirates had committed against Nami and her hometown, and if Rayleigh wanted to take action against Rocks...

So what if he was the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates?

She won't hold back when it's time to strike; anyone who wants to cause trouble for Rocks is an enemy!

'A lot happened before I joined...'

Robin glanced at Nami and then realized...

Many things also happened to Nami.

No wonder Nami has those feelings for Rocks; Rocks was Nami's savior...

"Forehead……"

Rayleigh, keenly sensing the sharp edge in Kuina's gaze and Nami's lingering anger, felt a chill run down his spine...

After taking a deep breath, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment. As people get older, their minds just become a little clumsy."

"While I don't intend for Blackwing Demon to pay any price, I do indeed have the desire to settle this score..."

"I'm really sorry, you're right, having such thoughts is indeed quite disgusting..."

Rayleigh apologized.

The tone was fairly sincere.

The esteemed first mate of the Roger Pirates was rendered speechless and unable to refute by a mere girl; it's truly...

But the other party had a valid point and could not refute him in the slightest.

If you try to refute him, he'll become worse than an animal.

Seeing Rayleigh bow his head and admit his mistake, Nami merely snorted coldly, "Hmph!"

"Heh...hehe..."

Rayleigh chuckled twice.

Why do I feel inexplicably indebted to this little girl?

I'm really getting old.

They can't even distinguish between some things.

The sense of righteousness in our hearts cannot distort the facts, nor can we ignore the harm that our savior, Hachiko, caused to others...

Let's leave this matter here...

Since Hachi made his choice, it's only natural that he should pay the price with his life for it.

This is how the ocean is.

Some things cannot be explained in words.

He thought about it and tried to do it, but he was left speechless by the rebuttal.

Let's just say he did what he should have done for Hachi's death; after all, he paid the "price"...

He's become a disgusting old man!

To bear this kind of "stigma" in old age, isn't that a huge price to pay?

They've all suffered a bit of disgrace...

After a pause, Rayleigh poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said, "We, the Roger Pirates, have not escaped the influence and infamy brought about by the 'Great Pirate Era'."

"We are well aware that the world curses us, insults us, and hates us, and we do not consider starting a 'Great Pirate Era' to be a 'kind' thing..."

"However, some things always need to be done by someone, and temporary 'growing pains' are only for a better future."

"Roger made his decision, and so did we."

"To contribute to a better future, will our choice lead to success or failure? We don't know, but someone needs to do it, regardless of good or evil..."

Having arrived in Ravdru and seen the "Void Century," they learned about many things that had happened in the past.

That "great war" has not ended; it has continued from hundreds of years ago to the present day.

And then it may erupt again...

The Great Pirate Era was Roger's way of preparing for the future, to hasten the arrival of that "opportunity".

Success or failure?

No one could have predicted it.

So they are waiting, they are watching.

Hopefully, I'll live to see that Captain Gol D. Roger's actions were right, and not the evil deeds the world perceives them to be...

They were both "accomplices" and "witnesses".

They need to live longer, hoping to witness that "opportunity" that may or may not appear...

After Roger was executed.

All members of Roger's pirate crew who knew about the "Void Century" tacitly withdrew from the sea and from the stage...

They're waiting!

"Roger... no, the reason you started the 'Great Pirate Era'..."

Robin then asked, "Was the decision made because you knew about the 'Void Century'?"

"Yes!"

Rayleigh, who also knew Robin's identity, nodded upon hearing this.
