The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

"Clang——"

"Clang——"

......

The sound was like the clanging of iron.

It seemed that Brooke had been hit by a violent storm, but it did not cause him any harm.

On the other hand, CP0,

Because of his clash with Brook, the green flames spread even further, engulfing most of him in the blink of an eye, leaving him helpless.

"No! Impossible!"

"I am Galgae!"

CP0, the owl, roared and continued its near-frenzied bombardment of Brook, this time completely abandoning all defenses in order to smash Brook to pieces.

but......

His advanced Armament Haki was completely ineffective against Brook.

finally,

His soul was burned to ashes by the green flames, and wisps of his essence floated out from the top of his head, which were then sucked away by Brook, who had been beaten for a long time.

"Yohohoho—the soul of the strong!"

It's similar to what Brooke is doing.

The others also used their own methods to cleanly and efficiently defeat their opponents, without holding back at all.

If we were to categorize dogs into breeds...

The Navy is the Celestial Dragons' lackeys, and CP0 is their lapdog!

The navy at least maintained basic order at sea.

CP0, however, only protects the Celestial Dragons who act recklessly and commit countless evil deeds!

Anyone who is killed indiscriminately deserves to die.

Very soon,

Apart from the Straw Hat Pirates, there was no one else standing at the scene.

"The first step of the plan is complete," Sima Di said. "Everyone, replenish your strength and let's wait and see which naval general it is."

Before anyone could reply...

"Boom-thump-thump-"

Heavy footsteps approached, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to see a tall figure emerge.

Just as I was about to ask him who he was,

The tall figure lifted the curtain and bent down to let an elderly man with white hair into the venue.

"Oh?" Crocus said in surprise, "I didn't expect to run into you here."

“I never expected that I would meet you again in my lifetime, Crocus,” said the white-haired old man.

Sima Di stared at the white-haired old man, whose hair and beard were all silver, and there was a scar on his right eye under his glasses.

Exactly...

"First Mate Rayleigh, I never expected to see you again!" Crocus exclaimed.

The Straw Hat Pirates were shocked!

First Mate Raleigh?

Then he is...

"Are you Hades?? [Unintelligible]?"

"The vice-captain of the Pirate King?" Sanji added.

“If there’s no one else, it should be me.” Rayleigh nodded. “I was really surprised when I saw you join the new pirate crew… This little girl named Laboon, could she be…?”

“Yes! He is Laboon. He ate the Druid Fruit, so he can transform into a human.” Crocus nodded.

Rayleigh shook his head with a sigh.

"They haven't given up yet? Didn't they get the news that the pirate crew had already..."

"Yohohoho—that's our captain!" Brook said. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Brook, the former violinist of the Rumbar Pirates. We didn't escape the Grand Line. After we all died in battle, I ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) and was trapped in the Devil's Triangle for 50 years."

50 years?

Just pay it back?

Rayleigh glanced at Crocus, and after the latter nodded in confirmation, he couldn't help but look at Brook a few more times.

"He's a man."

"Yohohoho—the evaluation from the vice-captain of the Pirate King is truly flattering!"

Rayleigh looked at the Celestial Dragons' special seats, which were filled with wreckage, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Kurokas, didn't you try to dissuade them? This is getting complicated."

"In fact... our goal is to kill a Celestial Dragon and lure out a Marine Admiral." Crocus laughed heartily, "How about that? You stopped Roger from doing what he wanted to do back then, but today we've done it!"

"Oh? You deliberately attracted a naval general?" Rayleigh was somewhat surprised.

Are young people this confident these days?

And it's surprising that Crocus, who's usually so steady and reliable, would agree to this plan...

This pirate crew seems to have some skill.

"Ok?"

Rayleigh's gaze suddenly fixed on Luffy's straw hat. This wasn't...

"You've found it, haven't you?" Crocus laughed. "It's Roger's straw hat, given to him by Shanks."

"Hahaha—interesting! This is so interesting!" Rayleigh suddenly burst into laughter. "I haven't encountered anything as interesting as this since the Roger Pirates disbanded. Count me in on your plan!"

As a veteran powerhouse, and also having a connection with Crocus.

Logically, Rayleigh's request to join should have been very popular.

but......

Sima Di shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Rayleigh, this is a test and a proof for our Straw Hat Pirates. Please don't interfere."

This refusal shocked everyone!

You actually refused a powerful figure who was willing to protect you?

But then the Straw Hat Pirates all laughed.

"That's right!"

"This is our own battle, Lord Hades, please refrain from interfering."

"Just an admiral, the Emperor and Luffy can both defeat him!"

......

Everyone was full of confidence, like newborn calves unafraid of tigers.

Rayleigh, who was still in shock, was left somewhat amused and exasperated.

Is it simply a matter of being extremely confident?

Or is it excessive arrogance?

At this time,

Sima Di then said in a deep voice, "However... there is indeed a favor I need Lord Rayleigh's help with."

"Oh? You're so confident, there's something you can't handle?" Rayleigh teased.

"I need a chance to speak with Whitebeard. Do you have a way to do that?" Sima Di asked to himself.

"Hmm... if that old guy didn't switch Den Den Mushi, there shouldn't be any problem." Rayleigh stroked his beard and asked, "But why should I help you?"

You were rejected, and you think you can just help me like that?

Is he shameless?

In no mood......

Sima Di looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, if I remember correctly... who was the father of your sworn brother Ace?"

“Oh, Ace, his father is the Pirate King Roger,” Luffy said casually.

It's as commonplace as saying "Ace's dad was just a random passerby".

But for the people on the scene, it was like a bolt from the blue!

Everyone:?っQ?;)っ

What the hell?
