From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

A familiar heavy voice sounded.

Rayleigh's drunken expression suddenly sobered up and his eyes focused.

Even the wine bottle that had just been placed next to his mouth fell down.

It's Shanks.

"what happened?"

Rayleigh had a premonition.

"We have left the Wano Country... We are on our way to find you. Be careful, the God Slayer is coming to find you." Shanks judged from Rayleigh's tone that the latter had not yet fought with the God Slayer, and immediately said, "He is not going after you, but Luffy."

"He's going to kill Luffy."

"..."

Rayleigh remained silent, frowning.

After a moment, he said seriously, "Is it because of you?"

Rayleigh knew about the feud between Shanks and Oboro.

In his opinion, a person like Oboro would never have the space for a brat like Luffy. After all, even if Luffy is "a little famous" now, he can't pose a threat to the Hell Pirates. To say that the previous feud between the Straw Hats and the Hell Pirates could make the God Slayer come all the way to hunt them down, this is too much of an honor for Luffy... or, in other words, it lowers Oboro's status a bit.

Rayleigh had told Shanks before that if a big battle broke out between Oboro and Shanks, he would not intervene... and would not help Shanks.

The people that the Hell Pirates should be targeting are Kaido, Shanks, and the Five Elders.

How could it be Luffy?

The only thing Rayleigh could think of was that Oboro knew that Shanks cared about Luffy, including some special features of the straw hat... in order to take revenge on the Red Hair Pirates.

"How could it be because of me? People like him..."

Shanks laughed at himself.

"The possibilities of Luffy...you and I are very clear about it, and he...is also clear about it."

"..."

Raleigh.

"I gave the straw hat to Luffy because I thought he had a better chance to change the world than me. When the war that swept the entire world came, Luffy would definitely not be absent."

"As for Oboro, he doesn't want Luffy to interfere with his plans. This world was subverted by him, and it can only be 'modified' according to his wishes, so... Luffy will definitely die."

"What he brought to this world was not peace, but Shura Hell, just like the name of their pirate group."

"I've realized that a long time ago."

Shanks told the story.

"That's why I'm trying my best to destroy the Hell Pirates... They are the biggest threat on the sea right now."

"The reason why the Five Elders can still sit still is not only because of the man behind them, but also because they have been entrusting Vegapunk to update and evolve the next generation of Pacifists... They need time. Once the new weapons are developed, the power of the World Government will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system will no longer be needed to balance the forces of all parties. They are very confident."

"They can wait, but... I can't."

"The God Slayer feels too dangerous to me... I have a different opinion from the Five Elders. I advised them to gather all their strength to stop the Hell Pirates. However, hundreds of years of arrogance and conceit have blinded them and made them too conceited."

"With every day that passes, the changes brought about by the God Slayer are uncontrollable."

"The Five Elders simply don't realize the crux of the matter."

Shanks expressed his attitude again.

"..."

Rayleigh was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. I'll take Luffy away now."

"..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh's body stiffened.

He turned his head instantly and looked up at the sky above the sea, and saw a huge ship, shining brightly in the sun, as red as blood, slowly approaching.

"what happened?"

The red-haired man became nervous when he saw Rayleigh remained silent.

"Trouble..."

Rayleigh sighed, "He's already here..."

"..."

"The fact that I brought Luffy to Ruskena is unknown to outsiders. It is an absolutely confidential matter. There is no way that the Nine Snakes will leak the news, and there is no way that anyone from your side will tell others... How did he find this place?"

"The Wanoku has changed hands, Charlotte Linlin was killed, and the so-called divine power of the God Slayer... He should have gained a lot of abilities from the Big Mom Pirates."

The redhead reminded.

"Let's do this for now. No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect Luffy and get him out first."

Rayleigh smiled calmly.

"Shanks..."

"..."

"I'm listening."

"If... I mean if... if I die and Luffy... can't survive, then take my advice, disband your pirate group and go to Marijoa... Maybe everything will have to wait. The era that Roger and I saw... is not now."

"..."

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi lost his voice.

Chapter 594 The destined ending

Shanks choked because he heard the word "farewell" in Rayleigh's words.

This shows that Rayleigh subconsciously believes that he will die!

Without saying much, after Rayleigh hung up the phone, he flashed to Luffy's side in the herd. At this time, Luffy was still concentrating on training. Without any preparation, he was picked up by the old man, crossed the woods like lightning, and rushed to the other side of the island.

"Uncle Rayleigh...what are you doing?"

Luffy opened his eyes, dissatisfied and surprised.

However, Rayleigh just looked solemn and didn't even have the mood to respond.

In just a dozen seconds, Rayleigh had already leaped several kilometers with Luffy in his arms, completely expanding his speed to the extreme.

He didn't dare to gather too much strength in the soles of his feet, for fear of causing the slightest noise and being noticed.

But even so... just as he expected, since Long was able to find them, it meant that he was sure that the two of them were on the island and there was no chance for him to escape.

boom!

A huge black shadow fell from the sky and landed right in front of Rayleigh who was moving forward.

The vibration from the impact caused the forest to tremble and raised a large amount of dust.

In the smoke, Barrett crossed his arms, hugged his shoulders, and grinned, "Hey... Are you leaving without saying hello?"

He looked at Rayleigh.

Whoosh whoosh.

Then, one figure after another appeared around, surrounding Rayleigh and Luffy.

They were none other than the executives of the Hell Pirates.

Although two people were missing, such as Crocodile and Tesoro, the current situation was a dead end for Rayleigh.

Luffy finally realized that something was wrong.

He stood beside Rayleigh with a cold expression on his face.

The Hell Pirates and the God Slayer...but they are the opponents that Luffy has always wanted to defeat!

He was unaware of the recent news at sea, but he was aware of the turmoil that followed the War of Marineford after he left Marineford.

Rayleigh smiled, holding the knife in one hand, raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle, then smashed the bottle at his feet, raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and called out in a very relaxed tone, "Luffy."

"Ok?"

Luffy was stunned and looked at Rayleigh.

"I'll cover you and let you go first..."

As soon as these words came out, Luffy's pupils contracted instantly and his heart was shaken violently.

"No! No!"

"Uncle Rayleigh, you..."

Luffy yelled subconsciously.

"Luffy!"

Rayleigh repeated.

At this moment, the aura and charm exuded by the old man were completely different from usual. Even Luffy calmed down after feeling that invisible aura.

"Listen to me... This is the last lesson I will teach you, and it is also the only thing I ask of you."

"You also understand that if we stay here, we will all die."

"You have grown up... Stop acting on impulse. This is my own choice and I am very happy."

"Besides, your partners are still waiting for you. Don't forget the agreement you made with them."

Rayleigh's words are full of wisdom.

With every word, the color on Luffy's face turned paler.

After he finished speaking, the old man lowered his head and looked at Luffy. The meaning in his eyes behind his glasses penetrated deep into Luffy's heart.

"I'm not as weak as you think. Don't worry about me... I'm Pluto after all. It's too much of a joke to think of killing me with just these juniors." Rayleigh touched Luffy's head, then raised the knife and held it across his chest. "Wait for the right moment. Don't waste my efforts."

Luffy clenched his fists, lowered his head, and bit his lips.
