The once bustling port has become much more depressed. The reason for this is not only the navy's purge of pirates on the island a few days ago, but also that many residents are aware that war is coming.

The number and quality of the naval garrison on the island have been significantly reduced. The public security has become more chaotic in the past few days. The looting and smashing in the Sabaody Archipelago at night are very rampant. People who have the conditions would rather hide in other nearby islands for a while.

After all, this is a key transit point to the New World. The navy will become smaller, but the number of pirates going to the New World will not decrease but increase, because of the upcoming war, they are more optimistic about the navy.

And if the Whitebeard Pirates are defeated, the New World will usher in a major reshuffle, and this kind of change is something that ambitious people do not want to miss.

A luxurious ship that was moving items caught Sal's attention. Turning around, he saw the golden ship with the Celestial Dragon's seal, which was full of very valuable items, and several people who looked like World Government agents were guarding it.

So Sal pulled a middle-aged man with an aristocratic look over, pointed at the luxurious ship and asked

"My friend, what is the origin of that boat? It looks very different.

The man who was being pulled suddenly became impatient, slapped Sal's hand and cursed.

"How dare you touch me, you lowlife? Do you know who I am?......."

"Oh, who are you then?"

The man who cursed turned around and really saw who it was. He saw the head that had been appearing in the news headlines in the past few days, looking at him with ill intentions.

The man was instantly frightened and panicked.

"Ah, Augustus D. Sal, you you you......Why are you here?....."

Sar didn't answer his question. He put one hand on the other's shoulder and slowly exerted force, full of threat.

"Now I am asking you questions, not you asking me questions.

The man froze and answered trembling like a monkey.

"That is the ship of the Celestial Dragons. I heard that the Saint of the Palace of Charulia is moving back to the Holy Land. He must have been frightened by the killing of two relatives by the Saint, so he moved away the valuables in the Sabaody Archipelago."

The man saw that the villain in front of him was only looking at the ship with interest, and he let go of his hand on his shoulder and ran away immediately. Sal did not stop him, but just touched his chin and continued to look at the ship.

This is a large sum of money, it would be a waste if he gave it up, so he took out the Den Den Mushi and called Sandasonia.

"Sandasonia, I have a gift for you, Nine Snake Island. Send some disguised warriors over. This is a huge fortune."

"ah......Okay, Sal, I'll send someone over right away."

The Nine Snakes Pirates originally planned to stay in the Sabaody Archipelago for a while, and then wait for their own empress to finish participating in the war and go back together.

After taking back the Den Den Mushi, Sal loosened his tie with ill intentions, walked towards the treasure ship with a smile in his eyes, and at the same time alarmed the guards there.

"Hey, who are you? This is the property of the Celestial Dragons."

"ah......It's Augustus D. Sarr, notify the navy quickly"

"......"

The sound of fighting broke out and soon subsided. These little Karami didn't have to exert much effort.

A moment later,

Sal witnessed the treasure ship leaving the port. As for the people on the original ship, they were all dealt with by him. Now the ship was taken over by the people from Nine Snake Island. The value of the entire ship is estimated to be more than 1 billion, so just treat it as a gift to Hancock.

He still has important things to do and has no time to move money.

However, the female celestial dragon Xia Lulia Palace should hate him to death. After all, he killed her two relatives and now robbed their property.

As for the navy, even if they knew, they would not have the time to care about it. Now Marinford has gathered 40,000 elite navy, and most of the high-end combat power is concentrated there.

【Level Up: Level 58 (1970/72000)]

Level up by 2 in 4 days. It seems that the benefits of killing the Celestial Dragons are beginning to decrease.......

Xia Qi's extortion.

Rayleigh was complaining to Xia Qi, who was cleaning cups in the store.

"I have been so miserable these past few days that I dare not go out openly. I have been hiding from the navy like a rat crossing the street."

"Just don't help those young people. Don't complain to me about your own problems."

"Haha, I'm just saying it casually."

Rayleigh raised his glass with a big laugh. He was really curious about how Luffy and other young people were doing now, and which man made him full of doubts.

Suddenly, Rayleigh's unserious eyes narrowed, and the door was pushed open, and Sal walked in.

The unexpected visit surprised the two people in the room. And Xia Qi had a bad premonition in her heart, which was a woman's intuition.

She instinctively resisted Sal's existence, because Rayleigh was very important in her heart.

Under the strange gaze of the two people, Sal was a little embarrassed to sit down.

"Don't you two welcome me? How about I leave?"

Rayleigh rolled his eyes. You sat down directly. Will you leave when I ask you to? So he asked

"Thrall, why did you come back to find an old man like me? Didn’t you go to realize your ambition? Are you in trouble again?"

"As expected of Rayleigh, you guessed this. I want you to accompany me to Marinford."

As soon as these words came out, Rayleigh and the others looked solemn. Marinford was the home of the upcoming war, and he dared to touch this muddy water.

Rayleigh looked at the other person's familiar face with sharp eyes.

""Sal, why are you going? Is this part of your plan?"

Sal took a sip of wine and exhaled. He knew that the next answer would determine whether he could call Rayleigh. If the answer was wrong, it might even ruin their relationship.

"There is one person I want to save, that guy who was caught because of his own abilities, Ace the Fire Fist."

Want to save Ace the Fire Fist? Xia Qi, who was listening in, kept thinking, but she couldn't see any relationship between the two of them.

Sal continued

"Ace the Fire Fist's name is Portgas·D·Ace is Roger's only son."

"......"

"Ding..."

Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, and even dropped the cup in his hand on the table. He thought Roger's descendants were cut off. When the navy was searching, he was delayed by something and couldn't go. He only found out that many pregnant women had died.

However, Thrall's serious expression calmed him down. All kinds of memories came to his mind. After thinking about Ace's appearance in his mind, he realized that Portgas·D·

Ace's mother is the woman he has only met a few times.·D·Luju

Rayleigh gulps down a whole glass of beer

"So that's him. He doesn't look like Roger at all. Instead, he looks more like his mother. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't look like Roger. That awful guy doesn't look that good either."

"Hey, Rayleigh, how can you say such a thing? I think Roger is much more handsome than you."

Sal immediately retorted, Roger looks exactly like he is now, but you actually said he is ugly. No one can tolerate this.

"Nonsense, he is not as handsome as me. And I can accompany you to Marinford. We can't let Roger die without an heir, so let my old bones make a fuss."

The old body suddenly burst out with momentum, and the other party's mixed emotions made Thrall feel a little guilty. He knew that as long as Rayleigh knew Ace's life experience, he would definitely go to save him. He was just like that.

No matter what the reason, he did use this"old friend" and put the other party in danger. But there is no way, even if there is one more Thrall, it is difficult to have a huge impact on the war situation. After all, even if Garp does not take action, the navy still has Sengoku and the three admirals.

An old and sick Whitebeard cannot reverse the situation of the war.

Rayleigh stood up and prepared to pack his things, such as the weapon that has been with him for decades.

"Let's pack up and go, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the show. If we're late, the boy might get killed by the navy."

At this time, only Sal and Xia Qi were left in the store. They fell into silence, and Xia Qi soon spoke up to break the silence.

"If anything happens to Rayleigh, I will not let you go."

"Please rest assured, unless I die, I will never let that old guy get into trouble, you deceiving fox lady."

Hearing this long-lost name again, Xia Qi was stunned for a moment. This was the name they called her when she met Roger's pirates in the past. Could the man in front of her really be that person?

Sal continued to chat with Xia Qi without caring. As for being threatened. She had kidnapped the other man to a dangerous place, so she deserved to be beaten.
