Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

The old man pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and muttered to himself,

"Xia Qi's information shouldn't be wrong, why hasn't it arrived after so many days?

Could it be that he was defeated by the Seven Warlords of the Sea? He can’t be that lame, right? "

The old man took a sip from the bottle beside him, looked at the ships on the sea in the distance, and sighed.

"What a fool Shanks is! I am already old, but he had to tell me this news, making it impossible for an old man like me to enjoy my retirement in peace.

I hope that among these boats, there is the child's boat!"

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Shanks in Shaki's tavern a few years ago.

...

...

"Hey! Deputy Captain, long time no see!"

Rayleigh, who was bending over to clean, looked up at the door of the tavern and saw a young man with red hair walking in with a group of his men, smiling and waving.

Rayleigh looked at the leading man in confusion, thought for a while, and slowly overlapped the appearance of the child on the boat with his memory, and suddenly realized:

"Haha, it's Shanks. It's been many years since we last met, and the brat has grown up!"

"Hahahaha~ Vice Captain Rayleigh is still as charming as ever!"

Rayleigh asked Shanks and his group to sit down, and said to Xia Qi behind the bar:

"Go and get the wine. I'm treating an old friend to some drinks today. Don't bring the stuff diluted with water!"

Xia Qi curled her lips when she heard this, and thought to herself, for the sake of our juniors, I'll give you, an old man, some face. She turned around, lifted the curtain, and went into the kitchen to get some wine.

When old friends meet, they naturally drink to celebrate. After three rounds of drinking,

Rayleigh glanced at Shanks' crew and found that the strength of these guys was quite good through his observation Haki, so he smiled and asked:

"Are you planning to enter the new world?"

"Yes, mate. I think the new world is full of old guys, and it's time for a young emperor to appear."

"Hahahahahaha~ Good boy, you're courageous! You're worthy of being the one we raised!"

Shanks seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to Rayleigh with excitement:

"Second Captain, guess who I met in the East China Sea?"

Rayleigh thought for a few seconds and laughed:

"What big shot in the East China Sea could be worthy of your surprise? Could it be that bastard Garp?"

"I met the captain's son!"

Rayleigh stood up from the stool, looked at Shanks in disbelief, and asked in surprise:

"That bastard Roger has a child alive?"

"Well, when I first found out, I was also surprised. The child's name was Ace, the same name as the captain's sword."

Rayleigh quickly scanned the crowd and did not find any children. He asked again in confusion:

"You didn't take him with you?"

Shanks shook his head and said with a smile:

"I invited him, but he refused. The kid said that when he grows up, he wants to go out to sea to see the world and make a name for himself."

“Hahahaha~ As expected of Roger’s son. I’m looking forward to the day when he becomes famous on the sea.”

Reilly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, laughing loudly, feeling happy that his old friend had a successor.

He looked at Shanks' bald head and asked with a smile:

"So you left the straw hat Roger gave you to Ace?"

When Shanks heard Rayleigh's question, he seemed to have remembered something funny. He covered his stomach with one hand and slapped the table with the other hand.

“Hahahahahahaha~~”

After laughing for a long time, Shanks finally calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Rayleigh who was somewhat confused by his laughter, and said twitchingly:

"Hehe... I gave my straw hat... to a kid named Luffy, and made a deal with him about who would become... Pirate King first!"

"What's so funny about this?"

Rayleigh scratched his head, looking confused.

"He's Cap's grandson."

"Hahahahahahaha~~"

Rayleigh was stunned at first, then he bent over with laughter, pointing at Shanks with one hand, which kept shaking.

"Shanks, get out of here right after you finish drinking. I don't want your blood to get on me when Garp beats you up!"

...

...

Sitting with his back against a tree, Rayleigh still found this scene very funny when he thought about it, especially when he thought about Garp's expression when he learned that his grandson was going to be the Pirate King.

"Hahahaha, what a joyful scene that would be. What a pity that we can't see it!"

Rayleigh smiled and shook his head, then happily took another big gulp of wine.

At this moment, Lei Liteng stood up and looked towards the port. He finally waited for his long-awaited goal.

...

...

After half a month of sailing, the Spade Pirates finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Originally the speed was not so slow, but Ace deliberately slowed down the boat because he had to train. Otherwise, he couldn't let Deuce and the others carry him to go shopping on the island.

Ace jumped directly from the boat, his body rotated three and a half times in the air, bent his legs and stepped firmly on the shore, raised his hands high, and slowly stood up.

Deuce and the others also cooperated quite well, clapping and cheering, and some even put their fingers in their mouths and whistled.

Ace turned around and waved his arms high in response to the cheers of his companions.

It's just that the bruised face and pig-like appearance makes people laugh.

...

Luo walked down the landing ladder slowly, looking at Ace who was showing off, and curled his lips.

"idiot!"

Although Law's voice was very low, it was obvious that Ace heard this complaint.

"Poker face, life needs a sense of ritual! People like you who are cold and icy, don't understand shit!"

"Heh, it seems that the beatings were too lenient these days!"

"I'm afraid of you!"

"Oh, exhibitionist."

"Tsk, poker face."

"..."

Although Ace was beaten by Luo every day these days, his main point was that he was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and then the two of them started to fight.

Seeing this, Deus and the others shook their heads helplessly and sighed:

"Alas~ these two are at it again!"

Just as Ace and Luo were trash-talking each other and strengthening their friendship, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Hello Ace, my name is Silverbaz Rayleigh, and I'm your father's friend."

...

...

Chapter 154 Am I the one who is crazy! Or is the whole world?

Ace didn't feel anything yet, and looked at the smiling old man in front of him with a confused look.

Luo opened the seastone handcuffs that restrained him with a serious look on his face, pulled out the Chunjun behind him, and took a defensive stance.

"Pluto Rayleigh! Vice Captain of the Roger Pirates, why would a person like you appear here?"

"Haha, bro, relax, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Rayleigh raised his hands to his chest with a smile, waving his palms casually outward to indicate that he meant no harm.

Because Mo Xingchen didn't want to reveal his identity, Luo was not wearing a navy uniform at this time, and Rayleigh didn't think that the young man in front of him would be a navy.

No one would have thought that the navy would ride on a pirate's ship and play around with the wanted criminals with a smile on their face. Rayleigh even thought that Law was a member of Ace's crew.

Luo turned his head and looked at Ace, blinking, meaning, this person is here for you, you deal with it.

"How do you know me?"

"Hehe, a few years ago, when Shanks came to see me, he told me about you. I have always been looking forward to hearing from you!"

Ace nodded and then said:

"So now that you've met me, what else is there?"

"Are you planning to venture into the new world?"

"Ah."

Rayleigh was not angry at Ace's attitude towards a stranger. He still looked at Ace with loving eyes and said with a smile:

"It's not easy to survive in the new world. I hope you can stay here for a while. I can teach you some things and make you stronger."

"No thanks."

Ace smiled and politely rejected Rayleigh's kindness.

Just as Rayleigh was about to say something else,

At this time, a lazy voice came from above everyone's heads.

"Yoho, this isn't a false mentor, Raylee-san."

Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a man in a dark gown lazily leaning against the side of the boat, one hand resting on the railing, supporting his chin, and looking at them with a smile.

...

...

Rayleigh finally saw the person who was speaking clearly. The next moment, he protected Ace behind him and whispered:

"Ace, get out of here! The person coming is a navy admiral!"

After saying that, Rayleigh raised his head, looked at Mo Xingchen who was leaning against the side of the ship, and shouted with full energy:

"Tianshu, I have heard of your great name for a long time. What brings you here?"

"Haha, you got the wrong person. I'm not an admiral of the navy. I'm a trainee crew member of the Spade Pirates - Tanlang."

Mo Xingchen, who was still lazily leaning on the side of the boat, spoke softly in a serious tone, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.

When Ace and Luo heard their uncle's arrogant answer, they covered their faces with their hands, not knowing whether they were laughing or feeling embarrassed.

"What a joke! Even though I am old, I am not so blind as to mistake someone for someone else!"

Rayleigh shouted angrily at Mo Xingchen. He felt insulted.

His observation Haki had been giving a crazy warning the moment Mo Xingchen appeared. This sense of crisis that stung his skin was so intense that even when he faced Whitebeard Newgate, he had never felt as much pressure as he did now.

He actually made up such a lame excuse, isn't this just fooling fools!

"As expected, the older you are, the wiser you are. I never thought that you could see through my perfect disguise.

All right, I'll stop pretending and get down to business! I'm the admiral of the navy, Mo Xingchen.

I came here, of course, to catch pirates."
