Konoha's task master

Inside the bar.

Xia Qi blew out smoke rings and listened.

"Um... pretty sister, can you bring me some food? There's also juice and stuff like that."

Rayleigh gently drank the wine from the silver jug ​​and looked at Yakumo with hazy eyes. This boy was wearing an ordinary gray sweatshirt and black trousers. He looked acceptable, but his body seemed to have never been trained and was very mediocre.

This is the most unreasonable thing. The actual rulers of the Chambord Islands are the Celestial Dragons.

This also led to the fact that there were many slave-catching teams serving the Celestial Dragons here. In a place where people eat people, there should not be such a helpless young man.

Xia Qi took out a cup from under the bar and filled it with orange juice, then went to the kitchen behind and took out a plate of freshly made colorful macaron pancakes.

Yakumo enjoyed it happily.

"Can you tell me what you want to do with me now?"

Rayleigh adjusted his thin and transparent glasses and asked, his wrinkled eyes full of wisdom.

"A thing, a problem."

"Excuse me, please," Reilly said.

"Five days later, the Portcas D. Ace who was executed in Marineland was the child of Pirate King Roger." Yakumo said.

With a bang, the silver wine bottle in Rayleigh's hand fell to the ground. His body began to tremble slightly as if he was restraining his raging anger. The faint blood spread from his body and radiated in all directions.

At this moment, he was no longer the uncontested membrane craftsman of the Chambord Islands, but the Pluto Rayleigh who once made the entire ocean tremble.

"You're talking nonsense... Lujiu gave birth to that child a year after Roger died!" Lei Li's voice was sonorous and powerful, containing a certainty that could not be refuted.

At this moment, he was really angry.

If there was anything that made Raleigh in his old age worthy of his anger, it would be someone insulting his former brother.

Next to her, Xia Qi looked at Yakumo with alert eyes. She didn't know which force this boy represented, and why she was bringing up that past event again.

"Ace stayed in Lujiu's belly for a full twenty months before escaping the navy's blockade. This is why Lujiu passed away soon after giving birth to her child. She created a miracle with her maternal love.

And the price is her life."

Yakumo replied in an extremely firm tone.

"Is this true?" Reilly asked.

"You have the best knowledge and domineering power in the world. Can't you tell whether this sentence is true or false?"

Yakumo asked in return, throwing the cantaloupe-flavored macaron into his mouth. I have to say that Xia Qi's dessert skills are really good.

Reilly froze on the spot. After a few seconds...he bent down and picked up the silver wine bottle on the ground. He looked at the wine spilled on the floor and shook his head in distress.

"What are your plans for telling me this?"

"I plan to save Ace." Yakumo said.

Pfft...cough cough cough cough cough.

Xia Qi choked and coughed rapidly, but she found that there was no smile on Lei Li's face. Could it be that this boy was telling the truth...?

"Are you ready to become the enemy of the world?"

"They don't represent...the world."

World conquest, even in the name of the world, cannot represent the entire world.

On the bar, all the macarons on the silver plate had been taken care of by Yakumo. At this time, he was quietly waiting for Rayleigh's answer.

"I have an agreement with the navy that I cannot leave the Chambord Islands as long as I live." Rayleigh said.

When Yakumo heard this, he did not show a disappointed look on his face. Instead, he continued to look at Rayleigh with interest.

"I'll do this with you!"

Many years ago, someone invited him to go out to sea to overturn the entire world. In the more than ten years since then, they have fulfilled their promise, and today another person has invited him... Come on, we want to be the enemy of the world!

This may be a fateful encounter.

No matter what, he could not knowingly allow his brother's only flesh and blood to be executed.

Of course, it is also possible that decades of comfort cannot quell the passion for adventure and battle in his chest!

With a bang, cracks appeared on the bar counter. Xia Qi's eyebrows stood up and she exuded a powerful aura. She was like an angry female leopard or a mother chicken trying her best to protect her children. She shouted sternly.

"No! I don't agree with you going!"

Yakumo looked at Rayleigh expectantly.

Rayleigh tightened the silver wine bottle gently, put it in his arms and stood up, hugging Xia Qi with both hands.

The two had an extremely passionate French kiss in front of Yakumo. It was obvious that Rayleigh was a master of love. While kissing, his hands were also very dishonest. Before long, Xia Qi's eyes were blurred and she was sweating.

dripping.

Suddenly, Rayleigh let go of Xia Qi, and the two looked at each other. As if the air was filled with the smell of love, Rayleigh spoke affectionately.

"sorry."

Xia Qi lost all strength in an instant and fell down on the chair, with clear tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

She deeply understood that Rayleigh's apology was an apology for his past feelings and debts. After saying this...the two of them no longer had any debts, and he would risk his life again for his former brother.

After saying that, Rayleigh took Yakumo out of the bar, leaving Xia Qi sitting behind the bar feeling alone and in ecstasy.

Yakumo secretly clicked his tongue, Rayleigh, an innocent old scumbag, here... will die for his brother's son, and will leave an indelible mark on Xia Qi's heart forever.

This farewell is really worth learning from!

The two gradually moved away from the bar, and uncontrollable sobbing could be heard in the bar room.

"Wait a minute, Grandpa Rayleigh."

Yakumo turned around, returned to the bar, walked to the bar, looked at Xia Qi who was sobbing and said seriously.

"Beautiful sister, since I took him away, I promise that I will never let Grandpa Leili lose his life before I die. You can wait for him here. I believe it won't be long before your stinky drunkard will push him away."

Open the door and ask you for a drink."

After Yakumo finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the sobbing behind him gradually stopped.

"We are going here with the world as our enemy. You shouldn't leave her with such hope." Reilly said.

"You should know that I didn't lie just now."

"Hahahahaha...!!!"

"You little brat, it's interesting! It's interesting!"

As the two walked on the street made of bubbles, they could clearly see the root links of the surrounding Yarkman mangrove trees supporting the buildings on the entire island.

"By the way, do you have any other plans, but one thing must be explained in advance. This matter cannot alarm other old friends."

"Don't you want to fight side by side with your brothers again?"

"You have to understand that in a few days I will steal the show on the battlefield, kill everyone and die generously, and those old guys can only know about this through newspapers. They will probably sigh... Hey, Rayleigh, this old man

This guy will be in glory again before he dies...don't mention how much they envy me then...hehehehahahahaha."

Rayleigh laughed boldly.

"Okay..." Yakumo said helplessly.

"The next plan is for us to board the Whitebeard Pirates, and I will be responsible for restoring him to his peak condition."

Rayleigh looked sideways, recalling the years when he had dealt with Whitebeard. At that time, Whitebeard's mastery of Haki was not as proficient as it is now, but his powerful body alone was worthy of the title of the strongest in the world.

With Whitebeard's mastery of peak domineering combined with peak physical fitness, maybe this matter will actually have a slight chance of success.

"Let's go." Riley said.

The two of them immediately arrived at Reilly's secret stronghold and saw him taking out a white-faced telephone bug from a pile of debris and sleeping soundly.

"Fortunately... he's still alive. This phone bug can directly contact the guy with white beard."

Raleigh woke him up.

"Bolulu..."

"Wait a moment...wait a moment..."

"Dong..."

The phone was answered, but it was not a white beard on the other end, but a very sweet female voice.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Dad is having a party on the deck with his sons. I will send the phone bug to the deck right now."

Tens of seconds later...

"Gu la la la la..."

Whitebeard's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Old guy...isn't he dead yet?"

"You're still alive and well, but I heard you're about to die, right?" Reilly retorted not to be outdone.

Yakumo called him "good guy". Could it be that this is the basic greeting method between experts? First circle it with a pen... You can learn it later.

After a few seconds, Whitebeard asked.

"Seriously...what do you want from me?"

"In a few days... I'm going to make a big fuss about Marinefando with you!"

The phone bug became silent, and a few seconds later came Whitebeard's unique laughter again.

"Gula la la la la...!"

"Okay, are you still in the Chambord Islands? I'll send someone to pick you up right away."

Whitebeard didn't even consider the possibility that Rayleigh was lying to him. He believed that Rayleigh, the King of Hades, might be killed, but he would never be coerced...to say something against his will.

The most important thing is...at this critical moment, as long as you accompany me, Edward Newgate, to cause trouble in Malinfandel, we will be good brothers...good brothers who will live and die together.

"I'll wait for you at the port tomorrow."

"Dudududu."

The phone bug goes back to sleep.

The conversation between the two bosses was very simple, without any probing or verbal confrontation. Every sentence was crisp and clear, as if two peerless masters were fighting each other with swords.

it is more than words.

Whitebeard knows Ace's real father, and now that Rayleigh has made this request, it means that he also knows that Ace's blood is Roger's.

"The moment I leave the Shampoo Islands, my whereabouts will naturally be revealed," Reilly said.

"Not really."

The Yakumo seal created a shadow clone, and the shadow clone's appearance gradually changed. In Rayleigh's surprised eyes, another Pluto, Rayleigh, appeared in front of the two of them.

"Tomorrow...I will use this method to distract those who are watching Grandpa Reilly, and then the two of us will rush to the dock."

"What a magical fruit ability." Rayleigh sighed.

"If I had known there would be this battle, I shouldn't have sold Haruyuki... to buy some wine."

Haruyuki is Rayleigh's weapon, the long sword.

At night, Lei Li held a silver wine bottle in the corner and sighed helplessly.

"Let me remind you, there must be some peerless wine on Whitebeard's Moby Dick, the kind of wine that each bottle is unique and cannot be measured by money."

"And this...good thing!?"

The next day, "Rayleigh" led "Yakumo" out of the secret stronghold and headed to the bar. The tails responsible for tracking immediately started taking action. Half an hour later, two mysterious men in cloaks quietly blended into the crowd on the street.

On the sea dozens of nautical miles away from the Shampoo Islands, Yakumo brought Rayleigh's body and successfully met the people sent by Whitebeard to respond.

The three of them sat down in Marco's boat.

Just as Yakumo expected... the person coming was Marco, the highly mobile leader of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, known as the Phoenix.

After all, the eyes of the whole world are basically waiting for the reaction of the strongest man in the world. At this time, sending a large number of manpower to respond will easily encounter an ambush by the navy or the CP organization. It is better to send the most mobile and powerful Marr.

division…

After all, you can't beat it...but you can still outrun it.

"Hello...who is this?"

Marco had dealt with Rayleigh several times before, and the two were quite familiar with each other. After a simple greeting, he set his sights on Yakumo.

"Just call him Yakumo...a doctor who can restore that guy with white beard to his peak condition, a world-class famous doctor."

Rayleigh introduced Yakumo based on his confession. To be honest, he didn't know Yakumo's true identity or strength, but what he could confirm was that this young man really planned to risk his life to save Ace... That was enough

Already.

"How is that possible!? He is still so young."

Marco exclaimed, somewhat losing his cool.

"You don't believe me?" Reilly asked.

"Of course not...it's just...he..."

Marco, as the part-time ship's doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, he is more aware of how bad his father Whitebeard's health is, and he has reached the point where he may collapse at any time.

"I believe facts speak louder than words. Show me Whitebeard. I won't let you down."

Yakumo said confidently.

"I... need to ask, dad."

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing. I hope not to reveal to anyone except Whitebeard and you that Uncle Rayleigh will participate in this operation. You can claim that you went out this time just to pick up me...the doctor.

"

"What do you mean?"

Marco looked a little unhappy.

"I suspect there may be a betrayer under the captain."

"...I need to ask Dad."

Marco stared into Yakumo's clear eyes and made his own choice, which was to leave the choice in the hands of Whitebeard.

"Bolulu..."

"Gula la la la, what's wrong, my son?"

Marco quickly told Whitebeard about Yakumo's proposal. In the end, Whitebeard chose to reject it. He did not believe that there would be traitors among his sons!

Yakumo had no choice but to give up.

This is really an admirable old father...

At the same time, Whitebeard also agreed to let Yakumo treat his body and promised to protect Yakumo's safety.

The three set off again. This small boat turned out to be specially modified, allowing Marco's flames to be used as propulsion. Blue lines of fire rose on the sea, and the small boat flew like cannonballs.

In the afternoon, Yakumo saw Whitebeard's boat. From a distance, it looked like a beluga whale crawling on the sea. You must know that among marine life...whales are powerful overlords!
