Rouge's eyes were icy as she looked at Rayleigh and spoke calmly.

"This is……"

As for Rayleigh, he had already unleashed his Observation Haki.

The moment Rayleigh's Observation Haki swept across the entire Sabaody Archipelago, his expression changed drastically. His pupils trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, "What a joke! Have I stirred up trouble with the Marines?! I'm just a lonely old man, one foot in the grave. Is it really worth all this fuss just to capture me?"

Just as cold sweat was pouring down Rayleigh's forehead.

Near the Sabaody Archipelago...

One naval warship after another docked!

This rather unusual scene drew the attention of one resident after another in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Along with the warships anchored at the edge of the archipelago, the naval personnel who disembarked included the current Fleet Admiral "Great Buddha" Sengoku and the current Chief of Staff, Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Behind Sengoku and Tsuru were three men dressed in red, blue, and yellow suits, with naval justice cloaks over them, exuding an aura of impending doom...

These three are none other than the three admirals of the Navy, known as the World Government's top combat force: 'Akainu' Sakazuki, 'Kizaru' Borsalino, and 'Aokiji' Kuzan.

However, this is not what surprised the public...

What truly surprised the people was the group of World Government soldiers who walked towards Sengoku, Tsuru, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan.

The man leading the group, with short, light purple hair, was none other than the former Marine Admiral and current World Government Field Marshal, 'Il-Gi-Oh!'

Following behind Zefa were three generals of the current army.

These are Fujitora Issho and Green Bull Aramaki, who were directly promoted by Char through conscription, and Chaton Kake, a former Navy Vice Admiral who was transferred from the Navy to the Army.

"Kakei, you've become a general now?!"

Wearing a naval cap and a red suit, Sakazuki couldn't help but tease 'Tea Pig' Kake as he approached.

However, Sakazuki's implication was clear: Does Kakei's strength warrant the title of Admiral? Don't embarrass the World Government...

"Haha! I was fortunate enough to receive the help of Commander-in-Chief Xia and underwent a bloodline factor modification surgery. Although my domineering aura and strength are still far inferior to those of the admirals!"

"But in terms of stamina, recovery, and resilience, I barely deserve the title of Admiral! To be honest, I'm incredibly resilient now; I could hold Whitebeard's hands captive for three days and three nights..."

"Heh! He won't be able to kill me within three days."

In response, Jiaji joked about himself.

"By the way~"

"Marshal Sengoku, and Teacher Zephyr..."

"Are Vice Admiral Gion and Vice Admiral Garp no longer around?"

At this moment, Borsalino seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at Kakei, as well as Issho and Aramaki beside him, before asking Zephyr and the others.

"Borsarino, stop calling him Vice Admiral Gion..."

"Don't you ever follow the news from within our World Government?"

"Gion, like Kake, has been promoted!"

"As early as six months ago, Char transferred Gion to the Air Force to become an admiral!"

"As for Garp, Char originally planned to transfer him to the Air Force as a marshal, but Garp refused..."

"Looking back now, I'm glad Garp refused. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what an army led by Garp would be like."

Zefa crossed his arms in front of him and spoke with a slightly troubled expression.

Honestly, one Garp is enough to handle a guy with a dangerous personality. If an army, from marshals and generals down to sergeants and soldiers, were all like Garp, then that army would most likely be completely ruined.

"Too."

To this, Zhan Guo nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Just as Zephyr worried, so too did Sengoku...

"Hey! What are you guys talking about? You look so happy..."

Just as Zephyr and Sengoku were looking on with helplessness, the World Government’s Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, and also the current World Government Air Force Marshal, former Navy Fleet Admiral Kong, walked towards Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others, accompanied by Gion, who had been transferred to the Air Force as an admiral by Char, and the unruly Garp.

In an instant, naval admiral-level combat power gathered together!

Meanwhile, in Char's extortionate bar.

Rayleigh's Observation Haki sensed the powerful figures gathering towards the Sabaody Archipelago. His eyes twitched incessantly as he asked with a puzzled expression, "Wait, are they going to deal with me? What makes me worthy of facing this lineup? How am I supposed to fight them? Can anyone tell me how I can possibly win against this team?"

"Rayleigh, you should have seen it by now, right? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

Rouge remained calm and composed, displaying an air of complete confidence.

Yes, Rouge wasn't afraid of Rayleigh refusing at all, because there was no longer any chance for Rayleigh to refuse! Whether it was Rayleigh or Jabba, she, Rouge, would accept the entire Roger Pirates without hesitation; it was something that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger owed her.

Chapter 137: All the Admirals Gather, an All-Star Lineup of the Three Armies, the Navy Version of Rocks!

As for Rayleigh, he remained silent at that moment.

That lineup outside, let alone him alone, even if the entire Roger Pirates gathered together and Roger was resurrected, they still couldn't beat him!

Letting him deal with so many of them all by himself—isn't that just bullying an elderly person?!

But no matter what...

The navy's combat power is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?

Despite their advanced age, with Char's help, Sora, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru still maintain their peak performance!

And Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Ikko, and Aramaki, who are currently at their peak.

In addition, there are two former Navy Vice Admirals, Gion and Kake, who have just stepped into the threshold of top-tier combat power and are currently on the rise...

The sheer scale of this naval force is comparable to that of Rocks...

If we also include Char Aznable, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces, and the CP0 members led by Douglas Barrett, the successor to the devil!

Even if the Rocks Pirates at their peak came, they would only suffer defeat at the hands of the government! Faced with this lineup, the government didn't even need to send the God Knights to take action.

Yes, in Rayleigh's view, Rocks at his peak, along with Whitebeard, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John...

And the Rocks Pirates, who are still growing up and have just come of age, along with the rather unruly Flame Flower and Bakkin, are no match for the Marines who have gathered at Sabaody Archipelago!

Gol D. Roger's pirate crew alone definitely couldn't win...

Therefore, pirates need their own divine knights.

“Rayle, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about Jabba and the others…”

"You can't just stand by and watch Xia Qi die for you, can you?!"

"Before Roger left, he held my hand and repeatedly told me that I could trust you! You've really disappointed me. Roger really misjudged you..."

Just as Rayleigh was frowning and feeling extremely distressed, Rouge wiped away her tears and kept talking to Rayleigh incessantly.

"Ugh……"

"I know, I know!"

"In short, as Roger and you said, I will take full responsibility and support your two children..."

"Seriously, what is all this nonsense?!"

"My life is now in Roger's hands; I'll never have a moment's peace!"

Rayleigh gave Rouge a deep look, then sighed helplessly. He knew he was now completely under Roger's thumb.

Even after Roger's death, he would still dedicate himself to Roger's descendants and dreams...

"I knew Roger hadn't misjudged you!"

At this, Rouge suddenly burst into laughter through her tears and looked at Rayleigh gently as she spoke.

"Then, Lady Rouge, I've agreed to everything I was supposed to. I, 'Dark King' Rayleigh, may not be a gentleman, but what I say is as good as gold!"

"So you can ask your husband, Lord Char Aznable, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces, to retract his supernatural powers, right?! This old man is getting on in years; facing such a siege of monsters, I really feel powerless and can't handle it..."

Rayleigh looked at Rouge with a hint of helplessness and spoke softly.

"Don't worry..."

"The reason Sengoku and his men came to the Sabaody Archipelago was not to deal with you!"

"They came to Sabaody Archipelago to discuss how to deal with Whitebeard..."

Rouge smiled gently at this, then looked at Rayleigh and reassured him.

"what?!"

After hearing what Rouge said, Rayleigh suddenly realized that he had been tricked and that Rouge had used the information gap to play a trick on him.

"Madam, why are you doing this?!"

Rayleigh looked at Rouge helplessly and sighed.

"Heh, if I don't push you a little, how could the legendary 'Dark King' Rayleigh obediently serve me?!"

"Don't worry, I will make good use of your powerful abilities..."

"This can be considered fulfilling Roger's wish in the afterlife."
