I, a Celestial Dragon!

Let me tell you about my current situation, a retired sailor who lost his captain long ago.

Maybe you don't know it, but I swore an oath, Gawain.

Someone like me is not qualified to board any ship!"

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh smiled and blew away a whole bottle of rum.

"I have been staying in Shampoo and Garden for these years, and you in the navy should know how quiet I am.

I've never been anywhere except where I can swim.

I have never been on any boat except occasionally when I was doing coating work.

If you want me to teach you how to use Conqueror's Haki, that's fine. You don't look like a bad guy. It's just a technique of Conqueror's Haki. If it can be passed down, there's no need to take it to the grave.

But getting on board..."

Rayleigh lowered his head, his glasses reflected a dazzling light, and he was seen playing with the wine bottle and speaking with great emotion.

"There is no ship in the new era that can carry me!"

After the words fell, the scene was silent for a moment. Gawain took a sip of wine and then nodded slightly.

"I see."

Putting down the bottle, Gawain clapped his hands.

“Why are there so many people willing to join pirates even though they are clearly thieves?

It's all because of you old veterans among the pirates. Your demeanor is truly admirable.

Tsk tsk, how many young people have you led astray over the years?

Since you don't agree, I won't force you. Like you said, you are seventy-three years old. How can I force such an old man?"

Having said this, Gao Wen changed the subject.

"But you said yourself that you were going to teach me all the techniques of Conqueror's Haki, right?

Keep your word. From today on, you will be my teacher in Conqueror Haki, Mr. Pluto!"

"Haha, I knew this is what you wanted. Apart from the Conqueror's Haki, is there any other power you can't get?

You Celestial Dragons, whether it is devil fruit, two-color domineering, swordsmanship or physical skills, as long as you want, there will always be many people who will help you practice.

But only the Overlord Color..."

Rayleigh glanced at the mansion meaningfully.

"There are too few people in the Navy who possess Conqueror's Haki. As for the World Government, I'm afraid only the Five Elders who are so busy with all the affairs have it.

Garp, Sengoku, people like this won't stay with you.

So, when I learned that you were the protagonist of the two domineering Haki outbreaks yesterday, I had some guesses about the current situation.

I just didn't expect you to come so soon!"

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh picked up a new bottle of wine. He placed the bottle between himself and Gawain and spoke softly.

"What else can I do if I don't teach you? I can't kill you, right? Not to mention the black knife in Xiaodiyuan that's ready to move, and not to mention the lives of Xia Qi and me.

Let’s just talk about Shabaodi Island. It would be too boring for such a beautiful island to be visited by the Demon Slayer Order.

This world is so magnificent. Devil Fruits and Haki provide room for development of almost every bit of our potential.

Devil Fruits are the power of imagination, and Haki is the power of will.

Look, in addition to physical skills, we can also develop fantasy and will!"

Rayleigh's pupils dilated slightly, and the next moment, his domineering color burst out. The invisible domineering color quickly condensed, and then there was a tiny but extremely clear black and blue lightning, which wrapped around the wine bottle in his hand.

“So, the first thing I want to teach you is…

Will is power!"

Peng!

With a crisp sound, Rayleigh's wine bottle opened out of thin air, and the black-blue lightning wrapped around the cork and threw it directly out of the window.

The domineering look on Rayleigh's body slowly disappeared. He took a sip of wine and then muttered softly.

"I will teach you everything I know about Conqueror's Haki.

In exchange, I hope the rest of my life can be a little quieter.

Shampoo is a good place. I really want to bury myself here. From now on, the navy should not bother me anymore!"

"No problem." Gao Wen nodded leisurely.

"That's good."

Rayleigh smiled with satisfaction, then he looked around and shook his head.

"Sabaody Island is not suitable for training Conqueror Haki. There are too many people here and the impact will be great.

You choose a place, an island close to Shampooland with few people, and I will find time to swim to the island you choose."

"Okay, what do you think of Nine Snake Island?"

Gawain answered quickly.

"That island is in the doldrums, and there aren't many ships passing by. The local residents of Nine Snake Island are few in number, and they love fighting. Most of them are good at two-color domineering, and their acceptance of domineering color should be good as well."

"Ahem? Are you serious?"

Rayleigh was stunned. He glanced at Xia Qi with difficulty. Seeing that Xia Qi didn't say anything, Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me make it clear first, we haven't met beforehand. This is all your idea, not my selfish desire for the Kingdom of Women!

Did you hear that clearly, Xia Qi?

Then, Nine Snake Island is indeed good. It has a vast territory, many wild beasts, and many sea kings. The geology is more suitable for the development of two-color domineering. It is indeed a good place for training.

Let's just stay there. I'll take a rest and leave tonight or tomorrow morning.

Even at my speed, it would take several days to get there by moonwalking and swimming, so when will you join me?"

Listening to Rayleigh's question, Gawain thought for a moment and answered.

"I will go to Dragon Palace in two days. After my stay, I will arrange my schedule and take some time to visit Nine Snake Island for a while."

"Okay, it's settled!"

Chapter 35 The best choice

"hehe."

Xia Qi on the side couldn't help laughing. After everyone looked at her, Xia Qi lit another cigarette and made a joke while smoking.

"You've already made the decision, but it seems like you haven't considered little Hancock's opinion?"

After she finished speaking, Xia Qi blew out a smoke ring and shook her head leisurely.

"It's a pity for little Hancock. Her hometown is going to be ruined by you two."

"Haha, that's not up to me. The person who asked me to wait on that island is the highest level of the World Government, a Celestial Dragon who is a world noble~"

Rayleigh pursed his lips and acted like he was scared.

"Tsk tsk, that's the order from the Celestial Dragons. If I don't obey him, I'll be captured and made a slave.

So I can only go to Nine Snake Island with great difficulty and watch those young girls in pain. "

After saying that, Rayleigh took a sip of the wine, let it swirl around his tongue twice, and then he asked Gao Wen.

“By the way, Brother Gawain, your choice isn’t a sudden whim, right?

Are you... interested in the Shichibukai, or in women?"

Having said that, Rayleigh raised his hand and smoothed his long white hair, laughing.

"Look at what I'm saying. How can a man who regards women as everything awaken the Conqueror's Haki? Could it be that your goal is to collect all the women in the world? How is that possible!"

After he finished speaking, Rayleigh picked up the bottle and took another big sip of wine.

“Ha~.”

Exhaling the alcohol, Rayleigh rested his elbows on the bar and supported his head with his palms.

"So, with your domineering aura burning in your chest and your ambitions brewing in your mind, the first force you targeted was the Shichibukai?

So regarding your trip to Ryugu Palace, your purpose is not just to return those young mermaids as Musgarud thinks, right?

That young man Jinbei has always been protecting his country, but if you go there, I'm afraid I'll see Jinbei on Nine Snake Island, right?"

Rayleigh smiled meaningfully.

On the side, listening to Rayleigh's words, Gawain thought for a moment, then simply nodded.

"You're right."

As soon as these words were spoken, Rayleigh laughed knowingly, while Xia Qi beside him took a long puff of cigarette thoughtfully.

As for Di Yuan, she took a bite of marshmallow and frowned.

The next colleague will be the fat and muscular fishman who is so loyal that he has a high reputation even in the navy even though he is a pirate. Is he Sea Knight Shinpei?

Thinking of this, Di Yuan stroked the handle of his sword with his left hand.

She had fought with Jinbei more than once, and on land, Jinbei was no match for her at all.

But if in Ryugu, in that kingdom 10,000 meters under the sea...

Di Yuan gritted his teeth. If a war really broke out under the sea, he would probably not be able to handle it!

For a moment, Di Yuan's movements of biting marshmallows became two points bigger. She still needs to improve further. If she had the strength of old man Garp, let alone defeating a fishman 10,000 meters under the sea.

With Mr. Garp's strength, even if the battle started in lava, he could beat Mr. Sakaski to death!

Without mentioning Di Yuan's small frustration, Gao Wen took a sip of wine and continued with a smile.

"Rayleigh, you pirates always like to talk about freedom, dreams, ambitions and the like.

But for me, none of the above things are more important than realizing my own life value.

I'm sure you can guess that, although I'm a Celestial Dragon, I don't like life in Marijoa, and I don't think much of my boring compatriots.

So should I abandon my identity as a Celestial Dragon and join the navy, or occupy a kingdom and become king?

Don't mention pirates to me. A thief is still a thief after all. I'm not that depraved. Haha.

In short, I won't do that. Giving up one's identity may be free and easy enough, but Don Quixote has already proved how stupid that is.

But I really don’t like the world today. There are too many things in this world that I don’t like.

The world is in turmoil, heroes emerge, and people are pursuing and admiring the identity of thieves like crazy?

Your captain, Roger, haha.

A pirate king who wreaks havoc on the sea.

His actions caused the civilian population, the most basic structure of all social structures, to completely lose their stable environment.

He is not the Pirate King, he should be called the poisoner who disturbs the country."

Gawain took a sip of wine, then silently waited for everyone's reaction. After a moment, Rayleigh patted Gawain's arm.

“Although I don’t agree with your opinion of my captain, this is a tavern, you and I are drinkers, and I am willing to listen to your thoughts.

what you up to? "

"To rule the world, of course."

Gawain answered with great ease.

"This is not a dream or ambition of mine. As a Celestial Dragon, I have long been at the highest point in the world. Although the Five Elders are at the highest position in the World Government, they are also Celestial Dragons.

So for me, if what I want is not that great, it will always come to me, that's all.

Therefore, my only pleasure is to realize my life value. My life should not be spent in countless things that make me dissatisfied.

If I don't like it, I don't have to destroy it.

I should master it!"
