"Hey, why are you all so hostile?" Rayleigh said helplessly, looking at Kikyo who was staring at him. "I didn't mean any harm."
If he had been even slightly less skilled, he would have been killed by the opponent's arrow, which was imbued with domineering power.
"No malicious intent?"
Kikyo glanced at her sisters who had fainted beside her, and said with a grim expression, "Is this what you mean by 'no malicious intent'?"
She used her strange abilities to take down several of her sisters in a single encounter, and now she says she had no malicious intent?
Who would believe that?!
"If I don't tell them to be quiet, they won't even have a chance to speak," Ridley said, rolling his eyes.
He had just climbed out of the water when he was hit by several attacks imbued with domineering energy. Where could he possibly complain?
Upon arriving and hearing Rayleigh's words, Hancock retorted irritably, "So you just used Conqueror's Haki to knock my warrior unconscious?"
Hancock's face was full of displeasure as she looked at the old man with glasses.
Rayleigh glanced at Hancock and said with a smile, "Yo, Hancock, you've arrived."
"Ah, and Gloriosa too."
After exchanging greetings, Rayleigh explained:
"I already explained to them that I came to find Xiyan and Luffy, but not only did they not believe me, they even shot arrows at me..."
"So this is the only thing I can do."
If the other party hadn't launched the attack, he wouldn't have bothered to stoop to the level of the little guy.
"Lady Snake Princess, he..."
.
"Yes, this guy is someone I know, he's not dangerous," Hancock nodded to Kikyo.
"Is this someone Lady Snake Princess knows?"
Kikyo glanced at Rayleigh with some surprise, not expecting that what he said was actually true.
Seeing this, Rayleigh shrugged; he hadn't lied.
Kikyo paused for a moment, then said, "Lord Boa Hancock, what about those other girls..."
"They've just fainted temporarily; they'll wake up in a while," Hancock said.
After saying that, Hancock glanced at Anishida and continued, "Take some men and go with Kikyo to send them back."
"Yes, Lady Snake Princess!" Anishida replied.
Then, she and a few others quickly ran over to the unconscious soldiers.
"Uncle Raleigh!!"
"Ah, Santasonia and Marigold are here too," Rayleigh laughed. "Haha, they've both grown into beautiful young ladies."
Looking at the three young women, Rayleigh's eyes filled with emotion. Had so many years passed without him realizing it?
"That's right, we are now warriors who can stand on our own!" Santasonia said.
"Not bad, not bad," Rayleigh laughed. "If Shakky saw you like this, she would be very happy."
Hehe~
The two sisters burst into laughter at Rayleigh's praise.
Just then, Hancock said, "You're here to see Xiyan, right? I'll take you there."
After saying that, Hancock turned and walked away into the distance.
"Um?"
Watching Hancock's retreating figure, Rayleigh wore a thoughtful expression.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Rayleigh was still standing there, the old woman said, "Are you planning to make us invite you over?"
Rayleigh, who was deep in thought, nodded and said, "Alright, let's go then."
The sooner he meets Luffy and his companion, the sooner he can ask them what they think.
If the other party wants to temporarily stop learning his domineering style, he will act as their teacher.
If you don't want to.
He wouldn't stop them from going to the new world; after all, it was their own choice, wasn't it?
"By the way... how did you know Xiyan and Luffy would come back here?" Granny Zha asked. "Did Xiyan call you two, or did you just guess?"
If the other side can guess that Xiyan and Luffy are here just by guessing, then... can the World Government also guess this?
If that were the case, it would be a disaster for Amazon Lily.
"west Yan hasn't contacted us," Rayleigh shook his head and said, "I guessed it."
"You guessed it?"
"Hmm." Rayleigh nodded and said, "I saw the whole battle at Marine Headquarters, but I didn't see any trace of Merry."
"So... I think that little girl was probably left on Amazon Lily."
"I see," Granny Za said. "So you judged that Xi Yan and the other two would definitely come back to Nine Snake Island to pick them up, right?"
"right."
Grandma paused for a moment after hearing this, then said with some emotion, "Your mind is still so sharp."
"Hahaha."
"After all, there's a stupid captain around," Rayleigh laughed.
If he hadn't been a little smarter, the Roger Pirates would have been wiped out long ago.
After laughing, Rayleigh took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Granny Za, saying, "Here, this is a letter from Shakky to you."
After Xin Yao opened the envelope and glanced at it, Grandma Za laughed and said, "This girl... she really is still the same as ever."
It seems this girl is doing well, that's good...that's good!
With this thought in mind, Grandma Za put the envelope in her arms and then walked away with Rayleigh into the distance.
"Let's go."
"it is good."
"That's how it is," said Xiyan, who was sitting next to Luffy.
"I never imagined you'd gone through so much at Marine Headquarters," Margaret said, looking at Xiyan in shock.
To be able to escape unscathed from such a terrifying battlefield... it seems these two are even stronger than she imagined!
After hearing west Yan's account, Luffy looked shocked and exclaimed, "Shanks's here too?!"
"Yes."
west Yan nodded, then said with some emotion, "It's a pity you were asleep at the time, otherwise you could have met him."
"Shanks..."
"
Luffy looked disappointed; he almost met Shanks.
However, Luffy quickly cheered up and said, "It's okay, we'll go back to the New World sooner or later anyway, and it'll be the same if we go see him then."
By then... he will have become a great pirate who would surprise Shanks!
Thinking of this, Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
"You're really optimistic," west Yan said with a smile.
That's true. If Luffy were to be discouraged by something like this, he wouldn't be Luffy.
"By the way, where did Ace and the others go?" Luffy asked.
"Them..."

After recalling what Marco had told him before, west Yan said, "They should be back in the New World by now."
Several days have passed; those guys should have already returned to the New World.
"I've already gone back." Luffy scratched his head and said, "Then let's go find Ace after we get to the New World."
He had originally planned to have a good chat with Ace, but the other party had already gone back...: ...Well, let's leave it for now and talk about it in the New World.
"After going to the new world?"
Recalling the expressions on Marco's and the others' faces when they left, a look of solemnity appeared in west Yan's eyes.
After losing Whitebeard, will Marco and his crew be attacked by the other Four Emperors?
"I hope they're all safe and sound," west Yan murmured to himself.
Just then, Little Merry raised her hand and said, "Now that Luffy has woken up, shouldn't we prepare to go to Sabaody Archipelago?"
The other companions might go to Sabaody Archipelago to find them at any time, so Merry thought it would be best to go back as soon as possible.
"We really should make some preparations," west Yan said, stroking his chin.
It takes several days to get to the Sabaody Archipelago from here, so it's best to leave as early as possible.
"You're leaving now?" Margaret asked, a look of disappointment on her face. "So soon?"
They've only been back for less than a day.
"Our crew is waiting for us, so we need to get back soon," Luffy said.
"I see.
.
Margaret paused for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to Mary and asked, "What about your snake egg?"
"I heard from my mother-in-law that the weather outside changes very drastically, what if..."
"That is a problem."
Little Mei looked troubled, clearly not having come up with any good solutions.
"The climate here is indeed quite different from outside," west Yan said, glancing at the weather outside.
If they go outside, there's no guarantee they'll be able to hatch the snake eggs.
But... they really didn't have time to stay here.
"Does this mean we have no choice but to give up on this little guy?" Melly said, somewhat disappointed.
She finally managed to get her grandmother to find her a blue snake egg, but now she can't take it with her...
Thinking of this, Meili's eyes filled with disappointment.
Just then, Grandma Za and her group walked in from outside, which immediately attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Uncle Raleigh?!"
west Yan was stunned when he saw Lei Li standing next to Granny Za. He obviously did not expect the other party to appear here.
Shouldn't the other person be enjoying their retirement in the Sabaody Archipelago? Why did they end up on Amazon Lily?
Luffy, however, looked pleasantly surprised and said, "Uncle Rayleigh, what brings you here?"
"Hahaha, of course I've come to find you guys," Rayleigh laughed.
"Looking for us?"
west Yan was somewhat puzzled, wondering why the other party had come to see them.
"Uncle Raleigh!!"
Looking at Mary, who was greeting him, Riley smiled and said, "Long time no see, little one."
"Is Sister Xia Qi alright?"
"Good, she's perfectly fine." Recalling what had happened a few days ago, Rayleigh's lips twitched slightly. "She couldn't be better."
Mary: ? ? ?
Why did Uncle Rayleigh make that expression?
Although I don't know what happened, it probably means that Xia Qi is doing well.
Thinking of this, Mei nodded and said, "That's good."
"Lord Snake Princess...
Seeing Hancock walking over with Rayleigh, Margaret immediately went into the yard and stood there properly.
Hancock glanced at Margaret upon hearing this, then said, "What are you doing here?"
"I.....

"Sister Margaret came to keep me company," Mary said.
"Is that so?"
Hancock glanced at Merry, who was staring at her expectantly, and nodded without saying anything more.
Margaret breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing she hadn't been scolded.
She was genuinely afraid that Lady Snake would be angry because she had come here, after all... there were two men here!
"Let's go inside first and talk about it," Grandma said.
After saying that, Grandma walked towards the living room.
After entering, he looked at Margaret and said, "Go and pour some tea."
"Okay, Grandma."
Without hesitation, Margaret turned and left after receiving the order.
"Speak, Uncle Rayleigh," Xiyan, sitting next to Hancock, said to Rayleigh, "What brings you here to see us?"
Rayleigh didn't speak immediately, but instead glanced at the two people sitting side by side.
"Hancock's expression seems a little off...:"
Rayleigh thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiyan has already taken down Hancock?"
No, isn't this speed a bit too fast?
This is even more outrageous than he was back then!
Perhaps as if he had thought of something, Rayleigh fell into deep thought.
west Yan: ? ? ?
No, what do you mean?
What does it mean to just stare at the two of them without saying a word?
The two sisters, Santasonia and Hancock, standing behind Xiyan and Hancock, exchanged a glance, both showing a puzzled expression.
Clearly, he didn't understand what Rayleigh meant either.
"What exactly do you want?" Hancock frowned at Rayleigh and said, "Get to the point quickly, don't waste Xiyan's time!"
Rayleigh: ....
Okay, okay, you're protecting him like this, aren't you?
It seems he was right; that brat really did manage to take down Hancock.
Having figured this out, Rayleigh first gave Xiyan an admiring look before saying, "I did come to you because I have something to say, but whether you do it or not is up to you."
"What's going on?" Luffy asked curiously, squatting on the stool.
Rayleigh didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "You're going to the Sabaody Archipelago next, right?"
"Yes," Luffy said firmly, "I want to see my crewmates!"
"That's right, we're going to the new world with our friends!" Mary said.
As if conjuring up a certain image, a smile appeared on Mary's face, clearly already looking forward to the adventures to come.
"I bet those guys are itching to go to the new world too," west Yan said with a laugh.
Especially Sanji, that lecherous chef, he's really looking forward to his adventure on Fishman Island.
"Is this really a good idea?" Rayleigh asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You should still remember what happened to you on that island," Rayleigh said.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people immediately froze.
Yes, they remember.
It was a battle filled with despair.
It's fair to say that without outside help, very few members of the Straw Hat Pirates would have survived.
Everyone.::::
As Luffy recalled the images of his companions disappearing one by one before his eyes, his expression turned grim.
"If I hadn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, I probably wouldn't have survived," west Yan murmured to himself.
After all... his actual strength hadn't truly reached the level of a Navy Admiral.
If he weren't immortal, Kizaru could have killed him without a doubt!
"Nami...."
+
Recalling the scene of Nami hiding her, Merry burst into tears.
Using Nami and the others' lives to save hers... What a despairing decision that was!
If Kuma hadn't been an enemy, Nami and the others would already be dead!
Seeing Mary crying loudly, Grandma felt a pang of sympathy and hugged her tightly. Then she turned and glared at Rayleigh.
That look seemed to say: Why do you have to bring up such a sore subject, you bastard?
However, Rayleigh didn't pay attention to Granny's gaze; he kept his eyes fixed on Luffy and Xiyan in front of him.
After all, Luffy's dream is to become the Pirate King!
So... there are some things they have to go through!
