Harem Voyage: Starting with Overturning Nami

"I knew it would be like this."

Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, understood.

His guess was correct, and after hearing Bai Luo say it, he was right.

He said that Whitebeard wouldn't attack Marine Headquarters without a reason.

But another question arose in his mind.

Why would the Navy suddenly target Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of Whitebeard's army?!

After all, the Whitebeard Pirates have been roaming the seas for decades; if they wanted to capture them, they would have done so long ago.

But why is it that they have to catch them at this particular time?

Moreover, after capturing Ace, they even planned to publicly execute him. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates into war?

What are they after?

Rayleigh really couldn't understand this.

Whitebeard is 72 years old this year. His strength is no longer what it used to be, and he has a lot of injuries. More importantly, he has no interest in power or anything else. He is nearing the end of his life. Logically speaking, the Navy would not go to such great lengths to deal with him. There is no need for them at all.

At this point, Rayleigh was completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but look at Bai Luo again, perhaps only he could give him an answer.

The same goes for others.

Bai Luo continued:

"Because the true identity of Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, is the biological son of the Pirate King Roger, and Roger's blood flows in his veins."

Bai Luo noticed the doubts in everyone's hearts and then explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire room fell silent.

Dead silence 307!!

Utter silence!

There was an eerie silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Especially Bepo the polar bear, whose mouth can be opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Even Fujitora, the future naval admiral who had been sitting there dignifiedly, couldn't help but straighten his posture at this moment.

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL"

"No wonder, so that's how it is!!!"

Chapter 722 The Truly Unified Sea

However, Bai Luo could clearly see that Fujitora was gripping the cane much tighter.

If Bai Luo's guess is correct, they should only have one thought in their minds at this moment.

That is, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, was actually a descendant of the Pirate King Roger. How is that possible?

It's unbelievable that the bloodline of the Pirate King Roger is still alive!

If that's really the case, then Ace is in great danger. After all, Roger's blood flows in his veins. Could this guy become the next Pirate King?

In an instant, countless thoughts surged through the minds of everyone present except Bai Luo.

"Is Ace Roger's son?"

Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, stood frozen in place, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself incessantly.

He was Roger's right-hand man and also the vice-captain of Roger's pirate crew. Now that he heard that his captain's son was going to be executed, he couldn't help but feel a little down.

"This is truly unexpected news."

Rayleigh quickly recovered from his grief.

"When Roger disbanded his pirate crew, he bragged to us that his son would definitely reach Laugh Tale someday."

“I even made fun of this guy back then, saying he didn’t have a son, so how could he possibly go to Laugh Tale?”

"I never thought that this guy would actually leave his bloodline in the world. You're something else, Captain. Even in the end, you deceived everyone, including me."

As he spoke, Rayleigh couldn't help but chuckle, recalling his past with the Pirate King Roger.

At this moment, Rayleigh finally understood why the Navy was willing to risk war with the Whitebeard Pirates to publicly execute Ace at Marine Headquarters.

Since they did this, it means they already know Ace's true identity.

He certainly understood what publicly executing Ace at Marine Headquarters meant and how important it was to the Navy.

Of course, Whitebeard wouldn't sit idly by when they announced Ace's execution at Marine Headquarters. He wouldn't just watch his son be killed by the Marines, which led to the ensuing battle.

Looking at it now, there's nothing incomprehensible about it.

All the questions in everyone's minds were suddenly answered when Ace's true identity was revealed.

"Rayle, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Don't you have anything to say?"

“Ace was Roger’s son after all, and as Roger’s right-hand man, shouldn’t you show some respect?”

Just then, Luo looked at Rayleigh with surprise.

(Okay, Zhao) This guy is still leisurely drinking, he's really not in a hurry at all!!

"Why should I be in a hurry? Ace is Whitebeard's son now. If anyone should be in a hurry, it should be him."

"If I'm not mistaken, these guys should have already made their move!"

Chapter 723 Nami's Desire Reached its Max

Everyone froze upon hearing his words, even Luffy was dumbfounded, and the chicken leg in his hand no longer tasted good.

"This guy is Roger's son after all. According to seniority, you are at least his elder. Are you just going to stand by and watch him be executed by these Navy guys?"

Before Luffy could speak, Usopp and Nami couldn't hold back any longer.

That's really too heartless; they couldn't stand it anymore.

"Haha ...

Rayleigh waved his hand, interrupting the two, and then continued.

"Ever since Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates and began bearing the Whitebeard symbol, it meant that he had no connection whatsoever with the Roger Pirates."

"All I can do now is know that Captain Roger has a son and be happy for his son. As for the rest, let Whitebeard worry about it."

Rayleigh then gave a nonchalant laugh, and in a few words, he made his stance clear.

His meaning was self-evident: I already know why you've come to see me.

They just want me to help rescue Ace.

But my attitude is now very clear: I will not help. This is Ace's own choice, so he should bear the consequences.

In other words, he will absolutely not intervene in the upcoming battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine Headquarters.

"It's just as I expected."

Bai Luo shook his head after hearing Rayleigh's words, not surprised at all.

After all, in the original story, Ace never used any information about the Pirate King Roger to explore the New World.

He would either be part of the Spade Pirates or use Whitebeard's name, which means that Ace didn't really want to use his father, the Pirate King Roger's, name.

This also means that from that time onwards, Ace had severed ties with the Roger Pirates.

Therefore, the Roger Pirates would not risk their lives to save Ace just because he was Roger's son.

Therefore, in the original work, Rorellelli also witnessed the entire battle of Ace's execution on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Otherwise, if Rayleigh really wanted to rescue Ace, he could have arrived very quickly given the short distance between Sabaody Archipelago and Marine Headquarters.

However, he never left the Sabaody Archipelago, which means that in his heart, Ace was just Roger's son, but he carried Whitebeard's will. Therefore, he had no reason or need to rescue Ace.

Of course, it's not just Rayleigh, the King of Hades.

Another member of Roger's crew, Kaba, remained unmoved upon learning the news.

He then allowed the Navy to execute Ace.

Bai Luo's thoughts finally came true.

Chapter 724 Renault's Steady Performance

This shows that the Roger Pirates all respected Ace's wishes.

"Hahahaha, now that Ace is Whitebeard's son, let Whitebeard have his headaches. As for me, I'm an old man now. I'm old and my strength is not what it used to be. I don't care about this kind of thing anymore."

"A new era has arrived, and it's time for us guys to step back and take a backseat."

Seeing Lei Li's carefree attitude, everyone nodded in agreement and said no more.

After all, he had already said so much; if they said anything more, it would be too unreasonable.

"Although I won't go to Marine Headquarters to rescue Ace, I still want to thank you for letting me know this news."

"Well then, to thank you, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know, and I'll definitely do it if it's within my power."

Rayleigh also made a promise.

However, upon hearing him say that, the Straw Hat Pirates fell silent.

Their main purpose in coming to Rayleigh was to ask him to help rescue Ace, but before they could even voice their request, Rayleigh guessed it and decisively refused. What could they say?

They had nothing more to say.

The atmosphere on the field fell silent for a moment.

Only Bai Luo nodded and said with a smile:

"We do need your help with something."

In fact, Bai Luo had already foreseen this outcome, so he had other plans.

In addition, Bai Luo understood some things, but he did not intend to expose Rayleigh.

It was just telling Rayleigh the news; it wasn't a big deal.

Because even if they don't tell Rayleigh, he'll find out in a few days.

Did Rayleigh really do them a huge favor just because they told him this news?

This is obviously impossible. On the surface, the old man said that Ace had nothing to do with the Roger Pirates and did not want to help, but in reality, he still couldn't let go of him.

0··Requesting flowers····

After all, Ace was the son of the Pirate King Roger, and he didn't want to just watch Ace die at the hands of the Marines.

So even though he couldn't personally go to Marine Headquarters to rescue Ace, he could still lend a hand.

Bai Luo continued:

"As you should know, the Whitebeard Pirates are the strongest of the Four Emperors' crews, and the Marine Headquarters is also extremely powerful."

... .. ...

"If a war were to break out between the two of them, it would be unprecedented and unparalleled."

"However, I think you can also see how determined we are to rescue Ace. We must rescue Ace."

"But you should also know our strength. Although we have a few supernovas, to be honest, our strength is not enough in the face of such a terrifying war. So I hope you can do us a small favor."

"Let's use this time to train ourselves properly!!"

Fan.

Chapter 725 The Hand of the Tide, a Boon for the Girls

　"Rayleigh, can you help us improve our strength in the shortest amount of time?"

Then Bai Luo took out the Rocks Haki training manual that Dr. Doriel had given him from his system warehouse and handed it to Rayleigh.

"Look at this!"

"What?! The Rocks Haki Training Manual?"

When everyone saw the markings, both Law and Fujitora exclaimed in surprise.

Their surprise at "three, two, three" stemmed from two main reasons.
