I, a Celestial Dragon!

"Poseidon, if you obtain the second ancient weapon, you will be closer to your dream!

As expected of Mr. Rayleigh, this is what is meant by "An old man in the family is like a treasure!"

"Indeed, as expected of the Pirate King's vice-captain, Mr. Rayleigh knows too many secrets!"

Xiliu also praised him from the side.

However, they didn't notice that Aunt Xia covered her face helplessly at this time.

And then, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Rayleigh took a deep breath.

"This stone tablet of historical text records the three great ancient weapons...

Poseidon's location and how to obtain it!!!"

"Poseidon!"

"Si Guoyi!"

"It's Poseidon, what is it doing...eh?"

"Wait, something seems wrong!"

The previous second, everyone's eyes were shining with excitement because of Rayleigh's explanation, but the next second, they looked at Shirahoshi with confused faces.

Bai Xing was also very confused at this time. She first looked at old man Rayleigh in confusion, and then she looked at Gawain for help.

"My Lord, haven't you always said...that I am Poseidon?"

At this moment, Bai Xing blinked his big eyes in confusion, looking at Gawain with a gleaming look.

Facing Shirahoshi's eyes that were full of curiosity but also slightly uneasy and nervous, Gawain suddenly laughed out loud with Rayleigh.

Laughing, Rayleigh patted Gawain's shoulder gently.

"Your Excellency is indeed a Celestial Dragon, you know so much. I performed like that, and you are not curious at all!"

"Haha, old man, although I don't understand the words on the historical text slab, I understand you.

As soon as I saw your expression, I knew you were fishing, haha!"

While laughing, Gawain said to Jinbei teasingly.

"And you, Jinbei, you said that when you were fishing, you never caught any fish.

But when others are fishing, why are you so impatient to take the bait? Haha!!!"

"grown ups……"

Hearing Takafumi's loud laughter, Jinbe's expression fell.

"Mr. Rayleigh's acting was so good, I actually forgot that our Shirahoshi was also one of the ancient weapons!

I thought the old man was talking about Uranus and Pluto!"

Taking a deep breath, Jinbei looked at Rayleigh with distrust. He swore that no matter how shocking remarks Rayleigh made next.

He would just turn a blind eye and absolutely refuse to cooperate with Rayleigh's performance!

And Rayleigh, he chuckled and explained softly.

“Back then, it was only after I saw this stone tablet that I learned the specific information about Poseidon.

According to the records on this stone tablet, Oden translated that Poseidon is and will only be the princess of Fishman Island!

That is to say, every once in a while, Poseidon will reappear as a mermaid princess. After she awakens, she will have the ability to summon and command all the sea kings in the entire ocean.

Of course, if there are many mermaid princesses in the same era, only one of them will have this ability.

So after that, we went from Sky Island to Fishman Island, looking for the Fishman Princess from that year.

but……

Well, there was no princess in the Merman Kingdom back then, Neptune had no sisters, and he only had a son!

So, in desperation, we found little Xia Li, who was still a little kid at the time, to do some divination.

Through divination, we know that the mermaid princess will be born in our future, and that person is you who was born eleven years ago, Little White Star! "

Having said that, Rayleigh looked at Shirahoshi deeply.

After a glance, Rayleigh turned to look at Jinbei, and then gave him an interesting smile.

"And Jinbe, haha, I also know the meaning of those two historical texts that you can't understand.

The two historical texts on your Fishman Island are the red signpost text and a letter written by the Kozuki family to Fishman Island on behalf of Joy Boy.

That letter was an apology letter..."

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh leisurely took out the wine flask from his waist and took a big sip.

Then he threw the flagon to Gawain.

Seeing Gawain catch the wine jug, Rayleigh chuckled.

"Drink a little, boy, and then listen to me tell you stories from the past.

Ever since I got on board, you seemed to have no curiosity at all about Raftel's story and didn't even ask a question.

Originally, I wanted to whet your appetite a little longer. I don’t believe that you are really not curious at all.

But you’re not curious…”

Rayleigh rubbed his white beard in frustration.

“Ah, after seeing this historical text, I also missed it very much.

So, I will just share with you and all of you what I saw and heard back then.

Just like you said, there is nothing that cannot be said to others, haha!"

Rayleigh laughed and sat on the gold nearby.

Seeing this, Gawain smiled and drank up the wine in the flagon.

Putting down the wine jug, Gao Wen took out two cigarettes, threw one to Xia Qi, then lit the cigarette and sat on the gold.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me about that, but it turns out you just wanted to keep me hanging for a while.

Haha, it seems that I am not as easy to catch as Jinbei.

But now, you can't help it anymore.

Come on, come on, everyone, sit down and listen to Mr. Reilly's story. It's too late to wait."

Gawain smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and then everyone took out their wine bottles and started to drink. Men and women who were wandering on the sea would always carry a wine bottle with them.

On the side, after everyone sat down, Rayleigh slowly leaned on the gold and spoke with reminiscence.

“When we first set sail, Roger and I didn’t know that the red historical texts were the signposts pointing to the final island.

Even if we knew about this, we would not be able to understand the historical text at that time.

So, on our first voyage, when we were young...

We just explored island by island based on ancient nautical charts.

It took us more than ten years to finally reach Mercury Island, the farthest island in the New World recorded on the map, in the year 1485 of the Haiyuan calendar, thirty-four years ago!

It is now 1519 in the Haiyuan calendar. It has been nineteen years since Roger's death. Adding the previous fifteen years, it makes thirty-four years in total.

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time, ah…”

Rayleigh sighed deeply. At this moment, Gawain seemed to see Roger standing on Mercury Island through Rayleigh's pupils.

Sure enough, the next moment Rayleigh also thought of Roger back then, so he cheered up again and showed the same upbeat smile as Roger!

Lei Li continued speaking excitedly.

“In short, thirty-four years ago, we explored Mercury Island for several months.

In the end, we found nothing.

Just when everyone was disappointed, Roger alone did not show any disappointment. He spoke to us with great excitement.

"Rayleigh, Jabba, guys, we must have missed something!

Come on, let's do it again, let us, a group of aging guys, start a new voyage! ""

After he finished speaking, old man Rayleigh patted his face with emotion.

“It was because of these words that I, who was already 39 years old at the time, was ready to travel around the world again with Roger!

But just before we set out again, something special happened in the world!"

At this point, a hint of dissatisfaction welled up on Rayleigh's face, and he snorted softly.

“Back then, the pirate group led by me and Roger was not particularly famous, because there was a dominant pirate group on the ocean at that time!

The old guy Rocks gathered three monsters, Newgate, Lingling and Shiqi, and also recruited strong men like John and Wang Zhi.

By the way, there is also that little brat Kaido. The year we arrived at Mercury Island, Kaido had just joined Rocks.

Haha, with this lineup, the New World at that time was basically Rocks's territory alone, and even we could only run away when we saw him.

And just thirty-three years ago, in the year 1486 of the Haiyuan calendar, Rocks went crazy! "

Rayleigh looked at Gawain solemnly, and said very seriously.

“Just like you, Gawain, I will always watch over you and prevent you from making a big mistake like Rocks did.

When you reach a certain height, there will be no room for impulse in your life anymore!

Thirty-three years ago, the New World and the Grand Line were always in a confrontation. The pirates led by Rocks and the navy led by Sora Steel had been fighting endlessly near the entrance and exit of the New World!

But in the same year, Rocks impulsively rejected Xia Qi's plan. He refused the suggestion of steadily confronting the navy and left Lingling and Newgate, with whom he had an average relationship, in the New World as bait.

Then, he took only Shiki, whom he trusted more, and some elites and sneaked into the Grand Line, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Celestial Dragons' rear base at that time.

Valley of the Gods!

At that time, God Valley was an extremely prosperous city, and its prosperity was not much inferior to Marijoa.

If Rocks' attack succeeds, it will directly cause dozens of Celestial Dragon families and millions of Celestial Dragon slaves who are temporarily living in the Valley of the Gods to fall into the shadow of death! "

At this moment, Rayleigh emphasized to Gawain.

“Remember Lockes’s capriciousness, Gawain!

This plan of his has no benefit at all except for letting him vent his anger towards the Celestial Dragons!

First of all, the targets of Rocks and Shiki’s sneak attack were not lone admirals, such as Zephyr or Sengoku, let alone Garp.

Even if his action is successful, it will not cause any reduction in the navy's advanced combat forces!

On the other hand, his plan can only completely infuriate the World Government!

In the end, his plan would certainly kill dozens of Celestial Dragons in the Valley of the Gods, but it would also kill millions of slaves. Such an action would make pirates something that even slaves would choose to spurn!"

Rayleigh just snorted heavily.

"At that time in the past, if he, Rocks, had raised the flag and called on the pirates and marines to have a decisive battle.

Then Roger and my crew will also stand on the side of the pirates and fight the navy and the world government!

But he actually intended to ignite the fuse of future war with such a despicable and useless action.

That old man and his group will never allow that!

So, when Xia Qi told me Rocks' decision, I discussed it with Roger.

Our pirate group blocked Rocks's action at the entrance of the Valley of the Gods!"

When Rayleigh said this, Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke helplessly and waved at Rayleigh.

“When I gave you the information, I only wanted you to cause some trouble in the Valley of the Gods to prevent my captain’s madness from putting the pirate camp at a complete disadvantage!

I didn't ask you to kill my captain, okay?"

"Uh……"

Listening to Xia Qi's words, Rayleigh took off his glasses awkwardly and wiped them gently.

After he put his glasses back on, he shrugged innocently.

“That’s what Roger and I planned back then. After all, even if the other side only had Rocks and Ski, it would be difficult for us to defeat them.

You know, only Jabba and I together can surely defeat Skywalker. Although it's embarrassing to say this, if the two of us fight Skywalker one-on-one, neither of us has much chance of winning.
