I, a Celestial Dragon!

If I can't even handle the little trouble in front of me, how can I have the face to promise you that I will make the fishmen your strength! "

After he finished speaking, Neptune fell to the ground and saluted Gawain solemnly.

At the same time, the fishmen seemed to be infected. They knelt on the ground respectfully, silently looking at Gawain and the flying black bird flag.

Being in the center of everyone's sight, Gawain nodded heavily.

"I'll leave it to you."

After saying this, Gawain gently raised his hand and helped Neptune up.

After Neptune stood up, Gawain patted Neptune's tail again.

“I have other things to do, so you should first build up the industries that are urgently needed recently.

Once you have established yourself, I will leave your people a job that will allow them to come into contact with humans: coating.

But you have to at least wait until you are fully prepared before you can start.

Also, I'm hosting a banquet for you on the Xuanniao tonight, don't forget to come.

So be it. "

After he finished speaking, Gawain let go of Neptune and waved to Musgarud.

"Senior Musgarud, don't forget to help me take a look at the gambling aspect later. If possible, why not go down and play a few rounds with Rozward.

As for me, I went to work out!"

"Okay, don't worry, Gawain. I'll go over after I have dinner with the fishmen!"

Musgarud nodded excitedly, then he looked at Gawain's departing back and silently shed tears of emotion.

After Gawain disappeared completely, Musgarud burst into tears.

"It's him, it's all because of him. If it weren't for him, I never thought I'd be able to help Princess Otohime fulfill her dream, wuwuwu!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to you, sir. Without you, I wouldn't even know who Otohime's real enemy is, wuwuwu!"

Suddenly, the Tragic Duo appeared again, and then there were two more figures slamming beers on the dock.

As for Gawain, he brought everyone back to the Xuanniao and continued his training career.

Mr. Rayleigh and Kalifa stayed on Shabaodi Island for the time being.

I'm afraid the old man will have to spend the next few days fighting this gambling game.

The gambling game lasted until 5:30 in the afternoon, there was a short break of one hour, and then it started again and lasted until 1:00 in the morning.

Ninety percent of the hundreds of thousands of gamblers were wiped out on the first day alone, and 10% of them were caught cheating by members of the Black Ice Platform.

I can only say that this is a world where pirates are rampant, and there are too many people who don't follow the rules.

But the casino really can’t get rid of these guys completely. If they kill them all, will there still be pirates who think they can get away with it and come with money to play in the future?

Therefore, this group of con men were just like the Golden Emperor. They were stripped of all their money and thrown into the sea to fend for themselves.

At two o'clock in the morning, when Kalifa returned to the Xuanniao with an excited look on her face.

In the side bedroom outside of Gawain's bedroom, Gion and Hancock, who were in a standoff, received the good news from Kalifa on Gawain's behalf.

After the Golden Emperor's ship was salvaged, it was found to contain gold worth 170 billion berries, and his cabin was filled with more than 60 billion cash.

Originally, there should have been about 80 billion banknotes, but unfortunately a lot of them were picked up by people when the Golden Emperor distributed the money.

However, Khalifa did not join the mob in recovering the money.

First of all, Khalifa didn't want to compete with the mob for money.

Secondly, those who come to gamble will always spend their money in the casino.

As for the Xuanniao, after receiving this news, Hancock and Gion gave up the idea of ​​confrontation.

This is really good news.

After paying attention to the funding issue, Gion asked Kalifa with some confusion.

“By the way, Kalifa, where is old man Rayleigh?

He didn’t come back with you?”

"This."

Khalifa explained with a smile.

“Mr. Rayleigh’s home is on Chabaoti Island, and he said he wanted to go home and visit.

I certainly wouldn't stop him, would I?"

……

……

……

In the illegal area of ​​Shabaodi Island, in front of Xia Qi's extortion bar.

Reilly walked with heavy steps, around the twenty or so corpses hanging at the door of the bar, and pushed open the door of the bar.

Facing me, Xia Qi was sleeping soundly on the bar counter, with a half-finished pot of wine in her left hand and a long-extinguished cigarette in her right hand.

Seeing Xia Qi like this, Reilly gently took off his glasses and wiped them carefully.

At the same time, at the bar, Xia Qi slowly climbed up.

She glanced at Rayleigh first, then sneered, and then took some tobacco from the side and lit it for herself.

Taking a puff of smoke, Xia Qi asked with a sneer.

"So, the famous Pluto Rayleigh is leaving Sabaody Island completely?"

"No, it's Pluto Rayleigh who has lost his way for too long and wants to try surfing again, Xia Qi."

Rayleigh shook his head, put on his glasses again, and sat down at the booth opposite the bar.

Leaning his arms on the bar, Rayleigh rested his chin on his hands and let out a long sigh.

"Xia Qi, I..."

"No need to say more."

Xia Qi waved her hand expressionlessly.

"This is a place where homeless people and people waiting to die live in misery. My small shop can't accommodate a guy with a dream!"

"Don't say that."

Rayleigh forced a smile, then reached out and picked up the remaining half pot of wine from Xia Qi.

He poured himself a glass and then another for Xia Qi.

"Have a drink with me."

He said, then raised his glass.

Hearing this, Xia Qi bumped into him without commenting.

After the two drank the drinks, Rayleigh looked down at the bar, while Xia Qi tilted her head and smoked a cigarette.

They didn't speak for a long time.

When Xia Qi's cigarette was burned out again, she put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ashtray instantly shattered into pieces.

At this moment, Xia Qi sighed deeply and asked in a low voice.

"Have you really decided to gamble the rest of your old life on that Gawain?"

"Haven't I always been this kind of person, Xia Qi?"

Rayleigh laughed slowly.

"Back then, I was lying on a stolen boat, basking in the sun, but a silly-looking guy said to me, let's go find the illusory Raftel together!

I have always been good at discovering the extraordinary things in others, just like at that moment, I gave up the rest of my life, which could have been spent in peace, for Roger.

I am a natural born wave rider. I can always sense where the highest point of the wave will appear before the tide comes up! "

"So you discovered the highest point of the wave again. Do you really believe that guy can bring a new era to this sea as a celestial dragon?"

Xia Qi curled her lips in disdain. She never believed Gao Wen, never.

But after hearing what Xia Qi said, Rayleigh became uncharacteristically firm. He tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

"Xia Qi, you are wrong about one thing. In my opinion, Captain Gawain will not be the one to bring a new era to the sea!

Because times are always changing, even the era created by Roger is destined to be swallowed up to the deepest part of the sea by the ebb and flow of the future!

But Gawain, he is very likely to bring a new order, or even a new concept, to the world, which is what I admire and am determined to add fuel to the fire! "

At this point, Rayleigh smiled widely.

"My past has brought too much suffering to this sea. In the past twenty years, every drop of blood mixed in this sea must have been caused in part by me.

This past keeps me up at night, you know!"

"So your new pursuit can help you sleep peacefully again!!!"

Xia Qi slammed the table heavily.

"You are already seventy-three. Do you know what seventy-three means? You are four years older than Whitebeard. You are really an old guy!

I can see how hard you have been working, but hard work cannot defeat time, just like hard work cannot defeat fate!

Do you really want to die at sea!!!"

"I just want to die with you, whether in this store or in the sea, Xia Qi."

Facing the increasingly irritable Xia Qi, Rayleigh suddenly stood up, and his usually lazy eyes were now full of decisiveness and determination!

He approached Xia Qi step by step, his body crushed the bar counter, and then passed through the rotten wood chips.

He looked at Xia Qi silently and resolutely and said.

"follow me."

At Rayleigh's last voice, Xia Qi opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at Rayleigh blankly for a moment, then she grinned and reached out to Rayleigh's eyes.

"Your glasses are cracked."

As she spoke, she took off Rayleigh's glasses and turned around to repair them.

But she was clearly repairing Rayleigh's glasses.

She wiped the corners of Xia Qi's eyes...

Chapter 137 He Will Stand in Heaven!

Time is like water, always silent. After an unknown amount of time, Xia Qi finally turned around.

She held her right hand in front of her chest, with her wrist supporting her left elbow, and with her left hand, she placed her glasses on her little finger and slowly moved it towards Rayleigh.

Rayleigh took the glasses gently and put them on.

Xia Qi suddenly crossed her arms and asked Rayleigh in a cold voice.

"Who did it!"

"what?"

"I was wondering who broke the lens. Was it the blind man who summoned the meteorite that day?"

Xia Qi asked coldly.

Listening to Xia Qi's words, Rayleigh smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Who else could it be? It's definitely him, another monster of the new era."

"beat him!"

As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Xia Qi simply said.

Then, she silently lit a cigarette, and when the tobacco burned, she overturned her wine cabinet.

With the sound of wine bottles breaking, Xia Qi threw the lighter with sparks still on it to the ground.
