I, a Celestial Dragon!

"Who on earth is that guy? How could he be so important to you? The Flame-Flame Fruit is indeed a good fruit!

However, why do you think whether to recruit him will affect my judgment?

You may be wrong. My mind will not be influenced by any young man. Do you think he is..."

Suddenly, Rayleigh fell silent, then he widened his eyes, looked at Gawain in shock, and asked loudly.

"Wait, what's his last name!"

"Old man, answer my question first. Do you think I can let him board my ship?"

Gao Wen asked with a smile. Facing this question, Rayleigh finally became much more cautious.

"Even Kuma and Jinbei are standing behind you. He's just a young man. As long as you are serious enough, I don't think he can escape from your grasp!"

After Rayleigh finished speaking, he immediately looked into Gawain's eyes expectantly. Facing Rayleigh's anxious look, Gawain smiled and nodded.

"It seems that you also think I can do it. Coincidentally, I think so too.

Although it must be difficult to recruit this guy, he might even be more troublesome than you.

But I believe that he will be my strength.

So, to keep you interested, his full name is Portgas D. Ace."

"Ace!!!"

Rayleigh glared, how could he not know the meaning of this name!

Ace is the name of Roger's sword!

"But why Portgas?!!"

Rayleigh looked at Gawain solemnly, he was serious!

On the other side, looking at the impatient Rayleigh, Gawain laughed teasingly.

"Haha, okay, okay, Portgas is his mother's last name. As for his father, haven't you already guessed it?"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes. Except for Empress Hancock, everyone else, including Gion, looked at the briefing in Kalifa's hand in shock.

Even Khalifa herself picked up the briefing in astonishment. When she instructed Kaku and others to collect this information, she had never thought about this person's true identity!

Meanwhile, Gawain continued to laugh.

"If you don't take into account the surname he changed himself from his mother's, then his full name should be.

Gol D. Ace!

He is the only descendant of the Pirate King.

Roger's son!"

"What the hell!"

Rayleigh rolled his eyes suddenly, then he laughed and rubbed Gawain's hair.

While ruffling Gawain's hair, Rayleigh put his hands on Gawain's shoulders and chuckled.

“My experience is indeed effective. From the beginning, I never said no.

Otherwise, you see, I almost became a laughing stock in their mouths!

In short, you win, Gawain.

But...but you have no moral principles!

Do you know how long I have been waiting for your recruitment? Do you know how many arguments I have prepared to deal with you?

In order to deal with your mouth, I have been unable to sleep at night for the past half month!"

Having said that, Rayleigh let go of Gawain's shoulders unhappily.

"But what happened? When the time came, you actually prepared such a big gift for me to bully a sixty-year-old man like me!"

Having said that, Rayleigh patted Gawain heavily.

Seeing Gawain gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Rayleigh smiled with satisfaction and continued.

“No need to say more, I will board your ship. As for what I said before, there is no ship in this era that can carry me.

Haha, you know, I am now very sure of one thing, that is, from the moment you step into this ocean, it won’t be long before a new era comes!

This era cannot support me, so I will go to the next era!"

Having said that, Rayleigh came to Kalifa and held Ace's briefing tightly in his hand.

“Gawain, even without the information about Roger’s son, I’m probably ready to board the ship.

After all…if it’s just a fight, you’re definitely not my opponent, you’re still far from it.

But when it comes to chatting, I am far from being your opponent. Although I have been preparing for a long time, I have also been prepared to be convinced by you.

After living with you for three months, I really like your character. You are not like those celestial dragon trash, but a unique thinker who has never appeared on this sea.

At the same time, you not only have unique but extremely desirable ideas, but you are also a strong person with sufficient willpower and action.

Even I can’t help but look forward to what you can achieve in the future!

Of course, that was just my thought in the past. As for now, since you have handed this briefing to me.

Then my mind has changed!

If you want me to come aboard, then you must let me personally guide this Ace. I want him to be my adopted son, haha!!!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Rayleigh's words, Gawain suddenly laughed and hit old man Rayleigh's shoulder.

"Are you sure you want Ace to be your adopted son, old man?

As far as I know, Ace is also Garp's adopted grandson!

You guys are of this generation...haha!"

Chapter 122 Me too

"Yi...Sun...!"

After Gawain said this, Rayleigh's old face became extremely stiff.

He grinned and narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

In his eyes, murderous aura was constantly dissipating, and he let out a fierce roar.

"That's Roger's son. Damn it, Roger, me, and Garp, aren't we from the same generation?

I can understand that Roger gave the child to Garp to raise. After all, apart from the fact that his punches hurt too much, the old man Garp has many good qualities. His identity as a hero also makes him qualified to protect the son of the Pirate King!

But where is that old thief Karp’s face? I just want to ask about his face!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh swept Gawain fiercely.

"Little Gawain, let me teach you some swimming skills. What are we waiting for? Waiting for that old thief Cap to ridicule me?

Take me to swim to our new ship, and then go find that old devil Garp. Although I haven't taken action for a long time, with the help of these young friends, I must beat him up and make him call me godfather!!!

It's really thanks to you that you found a group of strong partners. This time, I must beat him so hard that he can't even defeat seven big mountains again. He actually took advantage of us old rivals in terms of seniority. This old man... this old man...

I have never seen such a shameless person!!!"

As Rayleigh shouted in dissatisfaction, Gawain couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Everyone around, who were originally shocked by the identity of the Pirate King's son, couldn't help but laugh along with Gawain.

Jinbei laughed and pointed towards Gion.

"Mr. Karp is such a joke, I really can't recall his image.

How can there be such a person, who adopts the son of his peer as his grandson? Haha!!!"

Listening to Jinbe's words, Gion smiled and pursed his lips slightly.

“This may be the difference between the navy and pirates.

Although working in the navy is equally dangerous, life is much more stable than being a pirate.

Kapu-chan got married very early, and his son has been active at sea for a long time.

As for this Ace..."

Gion waved to Kalifa, and Kalifa handed her the briefing.

After taking a look at the briefing, Gion continued to laugh.

“This boy should be only sixteen or seventeen years old. I guess he is seventeen. A seventeen-year-old boy should go to sea. Isn’t this a proverb that the whole sea is chasing after?

So, let me recall.

Mr. Karp’s grandson seems to be fourteen years old now. You see, the reason has been found.”

Having said that, Gion held back his laughter and continued to speak to Rayleigh.

“Grandpa Rayleigh, you see, when Grandpa Garp was communicating with Roger, Long was probably about to get married, and Garp’s grandson is indeed only three or four years younger than Roger’s son.

So, haha, okay.

Hahahaha, although I think it makes sense, I still can't help it, your generation hahahaha!!!"

Gion finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. When he thought of the legendary pirates like Roger, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion, they suddenly became the sons of Garp.

What's more, she is a navy officer. It is so exciting for her to see those old rivals make a fool of themselves as a navy officer!

The most important thing is, although Gion is not old, she and Garp-chan are of the same generation. She calls Tsuru "sister", hahahaha!

Facing the laughter of the crowd, white air came out of Rayleigh's nose. He snorted heavily and then said to Gawain.

"Little Gawain, I'm on your pirate ship now. It's time to talk about those sailing plans that I didn't discuss with you before.

Where are we going next, to the East China Sea?

Even if I can't meet that old thief Karp, I will at least tear down his house!

Shameless old thief, you've seen a ghost!"

"Haha, let's not talk about Garp. We do need to go to the East China Sea."

Gawain smiled and nodded to Rayleigh.

“Although I may have to visit a few more places along the way, my final destination is indeed Donghai Windmill Village.

As for Cap, you will meet him, for he interests me also.

However, what we need to do now is not to sail the ship directly to the East China Sea.

Luqi."

Gawain shouted, and Lu Qi immediately stood out from the crowd.

"I'm here, my lord!"

"A simple investigation of the recent stage of the New World, do you have enough clues?

Whitebeard told Jinbei that he would come to see me three months ago, but until now, he has not come to me.

Is the situation in the new world very chaotic recently?"

In response to Gao Wen's question, Lu Qi nodded.

“Of course it’s a mess, sir. After all, Red Hair became the Fourth Emperor as mentioned by the World Economic News a year ago.

And to this day, after Red-Haired Shanks truly took a piece of territory from Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, the friction between them has never stopped.

Facing the forces of Big Mom and Kaido, Red Hair has currently been able to resist the corresponding attacks very well. This strength is enough for him to secure his position as the fourth emperor.

After Kaido and Big Mom each lost a part of their territory, their men began to tear apart Whitebeard's territory from different directions.

According to our investigation, the Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom's Pirates and Kaido's Pirates have been fighting fiercely for the past three months.

Until eleven days ago, and in the following two days, Whitebeard fought against Big Mom and Kaido respectively.

After being defeated again, Big Mom returned to Cake Island. After Kaido was defeated by Whitebeard again, he disappeared into the sky in the form of a blue dragon and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

According to our investigation, Whitebeard's team suffered considerable damage, and the Whitebeard Pirates' purchases of medicines have been increasing in recent stages.
