Crossing Luffy: Creating a Happy Ending in One Piece

Shaqi's extortion Bar.

The Straw Hat Pirates and Rayleigh toasted.

"I used to be a subordinate of the Pirate King, the vice-captain of Roger's Pirates - Silvers Rayleigh."

Rayleigh, with his neat silver hair, took a sip of wine and said lightly,

"Please give me your guidance."

Franky's eyes widened:

"It's really [Pluto] Rayleigh! The right arm of the Pirate King!"

Usopp took a deep breath:

"[Pluto] Silvers Rayleigh, we heard Luffy say that he was coming to meet such a legend, and we were also very excited."

Rayleigh couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"What will you do if you meet me? Are you excited? I heard that you have defeated countless legends along the way. "

Akin sighed:

"【Pluto】Raleigh, this name is well-known. The right arm of Pirate King Gol D. Roger is well-known and can be seen in many books."

Sanji poured a glass of wine:

"Indeed, many people have heard of this name."

Brooke muttered while picking up food with chopsticks:

"Gol D. Roger? I seem to have heard of this name, but I also seem not to have heard of it. . "

Hachi brought a plate of hot takoyaki to the table and scratched his head:

"About 20 years ago, I helped Uncle Rayleigh when he was in a shipwreck, and we became close friends~"

"Although I was very young at that time, we had a good relationship until I joined the Sun Pirates... As for what happened later, well~ let's not talk about it."

Sanji lit a cigarette and asked Rayleigh:

"But the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed 22 years ago. As the vice captain, why did you do that? Nothing happened? Shouldn't you have been caught by the navy as well?"

Luffy turned around and chuckled:

"Haha, although this is what was reported in the newspapers before, only the parties involved know the specific situation!"

Raleigh propped up his glasses, took a sip and said:

"Gol D. Roger, of course he was not caught by anyone - Roger surrendered himself!"

Luffy already knew the truth, and the other partners had more or less guessed it. Now that the truth was confirmed, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"I think the World Government announced that Roger was captured in order to gain credit."

"Roger turned himself in because he saw the end of our journey. It should have happened four years before the public execution--"

"Roger was diagnosed with an incurable disease. Facing a disease that no one could cure, Roger might also feel pain and despair."

"At that time, there was a doctor who was responsible for watching the lighthouse and was considered the best doctor. This person was Kulocus of the Twin Capes. Only he could relieve Roger's pain. We asked him to join us as a ship doctor. Complete the last journey with us."

"Then three years later, Roger, whose life was about to end, successfully completed the Grand Line that was said to be impossible."

Rayleigh grinned:

"Haha, it's really amazing when I think about it now."

Zoro was slightly stunned:

"Kurokas? It's really fate!"

Rayleigh drank the wine in the glass:

"You have seen Kurokas at the Twin Capes! I'm old now! I really want to meet him."

Zoro continued to ask:

"So, what happened after you dominated the sea?"

Rayleigh stroked He took the wine flask in his hand and continued:

"After that, Roger was called the [Pirate King] by the world. But in fact, this is nothing great. The title has no meaning at all to a dying man."

Rayleigh changed the subject:

"However, Roger enjoyed it. Because Roger is a man who likes to exaggerate no matter what he does, whether it is holding a banquet, fighting, or even the little time he has left."

"Roger seemed to enjoy it at that time. As for our pirate group, it gradually disbanded under his orders. Everyone went their separate ways. Things, one after another completely disappeared. I have no idea where these partners who had been through life and death together are now doing. "

"Then one year after we disbanded, Roger surrendered himself and was arrested, and then publicly executed in his hometown, Roger Town in the East China Sea."

"I heard that on the day Roger was executed, many famous pirates on the sea gathered in the square where Roger was executed. The execution of this Pirate King attracted worldwide attention."

Rayleigh lowered his head while narrating, and everyone could not see his expression. Rayleigh recalled:

"But I didn't go thereBecause that guy said to me at the end - [I won't die, good brother! ]"

"The World Government and the Navy were very surprised that the public execution that was specially held to warn other pirates led to the current Great Pirate Era because of Roger's last words."

"Roger transformed his last few seconds of life into a fire of hell that burned the entire world in an instant. Those days of laughter, tears, and drinking with everyone before, our captain has lived the most wonderful life."

Vivi covered her face and lowered her head:

"What a tragic story!"

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief:

"Mr. Rayleigh, the person who inherited Roger's will and spirit, passed on the torch."

"Yes! Just like Shanks you know, I met Shanks here by chance about ten years ago. At that time, I was quite curious why Shanks gave the straw hat that Roger gave to him personally to someone else. "

Rayleigh smiled slightly, and Luffy's figure was reflected in his glasses.

"Now it seems that what Shanks said is true. You really have the potential to surpass Captain Roger, or even... Joy Boy!"

Robin couldn't help asking when he heard this:

"Mr. Rayleigh, what does the so-called [D] stand for? ! What's the blank 100-year history? !"

Rayleigh laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, if you want to know, why not explore it yourself? What's more, each of you already has the answer in your heart, right?"

Rayleigh's sharp eyes swept over the crowd:

"But O'Hara is still a little too hasty. If you really want to know everything, I can tell you now!"

Luffy smiled and waved his hand:

"No, Mr. Rayleigh. Strictly speaking, we are not here to seek a specific [answer]. We will not forget the meaning of travel."

Rayleigh was surprised when he heard this:

"Oh? Monkey D. Luffy, you didn't come here just to get coated with an old man like me, did you? "

Luffy said seriously:

"Uncle Rayleigh, there is one thing you really need to know. As you know, I am the grandson of Garp. However, I have a sworn brother - Portgas D. Ace, who is the son of Gol D. Roger and Portgas Luju!"

Then Luffy briefly talked about Ace's situation.

Rayleigh was stunned, and then he seemed to remember something:

"Ace... this is really, hahahaha!"

"Roger, that guy, actually has a son? Hahahaha, it's really... good news worth celebrating!"

"But--"

Rayleigh's tone suddenly became as calm as water:

"Roger's pirate group has been disbanded long ago. What's more, Ace probably already knew his identity, but he still chose to be Whitebeard's son. From that moment on, he made the choice to sever his relationship with Roger. "

Luffy nodded:

"Uncle Rayleigh, you are right. This is Ace's own choice. But I also understand that if it weren't for the blood relationship, Roger would not let the mother and daughter hide their identities and hope to live a peaceful life. If there was no love, Ace's mother would not have held on for three years before giving birth to Ace. "

"Ace is not only a kind of inheritance that Roger has entrusted to him, but also a child that his mother has tried her best to protect. Even if Ace is so repulsive to the identity of [Son of the Pirate King], he cannot change it. He has indeed inherited a certain will of Roger. "

Rayleigh was silent for a while after hearing this:

"...So, you don't want me, an old man, to come out and protect him, right?"

Luffy shook his head:

"I didn't expect Mr. Rayleigh to come out to protect Ace, but just to inform him of this situation. Because we all hope that tragedy will never happen. ”

Rayleigh looked at Luffy deeply:

"The dangers of the Grand Line are far more than what you know. There are also many powerful enemies on the sea. Can you rule this sea?"

Luffy showed his signature smile:

"Rule? No need to rule! This world belongs to everyone, not just a small group of people. There is no creation without destruction!"

"The freest person on this sea is the Pirate King, but I am not a pirate, and I will not need pirates in the future! How can the territory of pirates be a utopia?"

"However, the environment created by pirates must be much safer than the countries governed by the World Government. At least they can barely survive if they work hard, but under the hands of the World Government, living is a luxury. Many conspiracies and tricks have only been used by the navy, and even pirates disdain to use them. "

"Let me ask, if everyone can live and work in peace, who would be willing to fight and kill?"

"The ability of the devil fruit on me is exactly the same as Joy Boy, but I believeBecause, it was not the Nika Fruit that made Joy Boy, but Joy Boy that made the Nika Fruit!"

"The history before the establishment of the World Government was ruthlessly erased. Because there is no history, all people born on this sea are spiritual slaves. Therefore, there is no creation without destruction!"

Rayleigh stared at Luffy in front of him thoughtfully:

"It seems that this straw hat is really suitable for a tough man! Surpass Joy Boy, maybe you can really do it!"

Luffy then said:

"Mr. Rayleigh, I only have one last question!"

Rayleigh pursed his lips: "You say!"

"The great secret treasure One Piece, it is both existing and non-existent, right?"

Luffy said softly.

Rayleigh's eyes widened when he heard it, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.
