I am a Celestial Dragon!

Inside Rab, on the island in his belly.

Looking at Rayleigh who suddenly rushed out, Kurokas was stunned.

He had thought that Raleigh would come to see him, after all, Gawain's sailing route was too obvious in the newspapers.

Besides, Cullocus stayed at Twin Capes. No matter which route Gawain took, the place where Cullocas lived was the place Gawain would definitely reach.

Therefore, Kurokas had long been looking forward to meeting Rayleigh, his old friend.

But this kind of meeting... shouldn't happen directly in the whale's belly! ! !

Looking at Rayleigh coming through the air, Kurokas asked nervously.

“Hell, isn’t Rab still hitting the Red Earth Continent?

Why can you get into him?

Old man, you should know how important Rab is to me. I am sixty-eight years old, but Rab has been with me since forty-seven years ago!

If Roger hadn't been terminally ill and didn't have much time, I wouldn't have been able to go to sea with him!

So no matter what, don't hurt this whale!

Damn it, you monsters under the Celestial Dragons wouldn't have just fished Rab out to sea! ! ! "

"What are you thinking about!"

Hearing what Kurokas said, Rayleigh curled his lips angrily and saw that he hit the small island where Kurokas lived hard.

While skillfully putting his hand on Kurokas's shoulder, enjoying the familiar touch of Kurokas, Rayleigh continued to speak to Kurokas.

“We don’t have any fishing experts on board who can catch an island whale like Rab!

Besides, after knowing each other for so long, don’t I know that you regard this little whale as your child? "

As he spoke, Reilly put aside the beach chair where Kurokas had just been sitting.

Seeing this made him smile.

"Oh, haha, you really have collected our latest newspapers!

How about it, old guy, I look much more handsome in a military uniform than that old guy Garp, right? "

Rayleigh let go of Kurokas comfortably, and then flicked his clothes.

Across the way, looking at the crisp uniform on Rayleigh's body, Kurokas's pupils shrank slightly.

"Yes, you are actually willing to wear such formal clothes.

It seems that you really approve of your new captain!

That's a good thing, Raleigh, because guys like you will die young if you don't go to sea until you die.

Because you, like Roger, are both suffering from the disease of dying if you remain calm for too long, haha! ! ! "

While laughing, Kurokas hit Rayleigh on the chest with his fist.

"Stop talking nonsense, sit down and have a rest. I've got some wine here. Let's have a big drink later!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with you guys, haha, just thinking about it makes me so happy!

Come, sit down! "

Kurokas carried a beach chair for Rayleigh and invited Rayleigh to sit down quickly.

Looking at the beach chairs, Rayleigh waved his hand casually.

"Let's not sit down for now. On the Black Bird, I can lie down for almost ten hours a day.

Come on, let’s get down to business, you should understand my plan, come here this time, I’m here to invite you! "

Having said this, Rayleigh looked at Kurokas with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Having gone through those experiences, you should know me quite well, so give me some confidence.

Do you want to join us and try to bring a change to this sea that is different from the past eight hundred years, or even different from the past five thousand years!

I can't forget your strength to this day. Although you say you are a doctor, you did a lot of hard work when we fought Whitebeard for three days and three nights!

In addition, you are a doctor, so your physical condition must be much better than that of an old ghost like me!

Even I still have some strength left to fight, so you won’t try to prevaricate me by saying you’re old! "

After speaking, Rayleigh took out a wine bottle and threw it to Kurokas.

Kurokas took the wine bottle familiarly, opened it and took a sip, then immediately took a big sip excitedly.

After just one sip, the wine bottle was completely empty, and Kurokas extended his thumb in admiration.

"As expected of the wine on the Tianlong people's ship, this taste is much better than the wine I exchanged from the passing pirates at Twin Capes!

Rayleigh, you are different from before.

Now you drink all this good wine, but I prefer low-quality spirits!

Because only that kind of wine has the taste that a pirate should have! "

"oh?"

Hearing this, Lei Li's old eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Old friend, are you saying that I have become less like a pirate, or that I have become less like myself?"

While talking, Rayleigh sat directly on the ground, crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees.

"Don't think that I have forgotten my past life, I can still sing the barcarolle of that year.

Don’t think that I’m not proud of who I was in the past. Even now, I don’t feel guilty or ashamed about my identity as a pirate!

But my captain, haha, I always call him Little Gawain, he is really the best person I have ever seen in my life!

He said something very interesting, and I agree with it very much.

That is the word "pirate", especially the concept of "thief". It really should not and cannot become the yearning and longing of all young people in the entire sea! ! ! "

Having said this, Rayleigh's eyes were extremely bright, and he continued to speak to Kurokas with great solemnity.

“Old guy, when you were still remembering and loving the bad drinks that pirates often drank.

But with the help of little Gawain, I have a higher vision.

That's why people like us can't drink better wine!

You should know that the people I am talking about are not the crew members of the Pirate King like you and me, let alone guys who are famous throughout the sea and whose strength is beyond ordinary people.

And by us, I mean other guys who are similar to us when we were young, or even when we were kids.

Why can't we enjoy the food and wine only available at the end if we don't have a good family and a superior background?

Why is it that if you are not a noble at birth, it is almost impossible to become a noble in your lifetime?

Why can a nobleman only have a carriage and a horse, something that if we were born without, it would be almost impossible to have it in our lifetime?

What the hell is all this for? ! ! "

With a roar, Rayleigh slapped his thigh hard.

"Gawain described another future for me. That future may not be absolutely fair, but at least it is much fairer than today!

He has provided a new way for me and the future sea!

As I said, on the sea in the past, if we were not born into nobles, then we had no choice but to transform into pirates to kill nobles and plunder nobles. This would allow us to enjoy the things that nobles enjoy every day!

Do you think I don’t understand why you and I are proud of being pirates?

It's not you and I who like killing, and it's not you and I who are keen on taking risks.

Because when we were pirates, with our identities and backgrounds as ordinary people, we made those high-ranking nobles and kings tremble!

Because when we were pirates, even nobles and kings could only endure our bossy orders!

In other words, when we transform from ordinary people to pirates, we deserve their fear! ! ! "

Rayleigh was extremely serious at this moment. Only a person like him, who has almost reached the top of the pirate route, would have this kind of realization!

Many people can only see pirates burning, killing, looting and committing evil deeds.

But the reason why the word pirate is really accepted by the whole world is not because people envy them for burning, killing and plundering.

But people envy them for relying on pirates to break the fate and hierarchy that have been fixed since birth! ! !

Why do you think Jesus Bu always felt that his choice to leave his hometown and go to sea would make his children proud?

The reason why he thinks this is because compared to the fate of the child losing him, he gave his child a completely different identity!

Originally, his son was just a farmer or hunter in a village. If he didn't go to sea, they would just have this identity throughout their lives!

But now, his son is the son of Jesus Bu, the son of the strongest sniper on the sea! ! !

He gave his son an incomplete childhood, but he also gave his son a future where he could proudly speak out his identity! ! !

And this kind of pride is still useful even in front of nobles and kings!

I wonder if his son, Jesus Bu, revealed his identity in the East China Sea.

No matter the noble or the king, no matter the gangster in the East China Sea or the richest man.

They must all show respect to the son of Jesus! ! !

This is what Jesus is really proud of. He used his own hands to buy the power to break down classes for future generations! ! !

It is precisely because of this that Jesus Bu always believed.

It doesn't matter even if his son doesn't understand him at first!

No matter whether his son succeeds or not, as long as he grows up to be mature enough, he will always understand himself!

Because as long as they truly feel the despair between classes, everyone will be proud of having a father who can break the shackles of class! ! !

On the side, listening to the clanging words in Rayleigh's mouth, Kurokas took a deep breath.

He curled his lips slightly and raised his nose.

"Rayleigh, since you always carry the meaning of being a pirate in your heart.

Since you are the same as before, and just like us, you know what the identity of pirates means to us.

If that's the case, why are you standing here, trying to win over me, a friend who no longer wants to get into trouble, on behalf of those who are enemies of pirates?

Rayleigh, even if you have a new path, I shouldn't appear on your path... "

"indeed!"

Opposite him, Lei Li, who was sitting cross-legged and silently, sighed quietly.

“If my captain is not Gawain, then I really don’t want to take you on board my ship.

After all, compared to me, a guy who seems to be reclusive, but actually wants to cause trouble all the time.

You are the real retreater.

But it happens that my captain is Gawain, and he has such a huge plan.

But, in his future plan, all pirates, including you.

You are all our enemies! "

At this point, Rayleigh's brows twitched fiercely, and he rarely became nervous.

"old man!"

Rayleigh said seriously.

“You really don’t want to get caught in a storm, but what ship on the sea would pray for a storm before setting sail?

You don’t want to fall into the wind and rain, but the will of the wind and rain will never be dominated by you!

Now, I can tell you responsibly that my captain has gradually put his pieces of the puzzle together!

The sea of ​​the future is destined to be filled with storms and thunder led by us!

And you, the reason why I want you to join us is not because I am eager to pull you back into the eye of the storm.

But I know very well that if you don't take the initiative to join the wind and rain, then you will become the scabies and stubborn diseases under the wind and rain, and become the existence that little Gawain is destined to clean up! ! ! "

After the words fell, Rayleigh looked at Kurokas meaningfully, facing Kurokas's frowning frown, Rayleigh said every word.

"You know what, old friend!

Captain Gawain's first plan is to build a sea train that connects the East China Sea with the great sea route!

And in this plan, we have to do something that can make the whole sea boil!

We must completely block the Grand Route and not allow any pirate to continue to pass through this sea area! ! ! "

Rayleigh pointed at Kurokas's chest and continued speaking heavily.

"And you, you are one of the most famous pirates on this sea, and you still live in a place like Twin Capes, which is necessary to block the great shipping route!

In the past few days, that is, the few days before I came to see you, whenever I think of what is happening now, I can't help but feel lucky for you and me!

If I didn't stand with Gawain, then I would have no chance to know Gawain's plan.

In that case, it is very likely that you will have died where you are living now before I even have time to notice!

My captain will persevere in his great ambitions, with or without me!

And without me, then I am destined to lose you! "

"What?!!"

Opposite Rayleigh, Kurokas, who had just heard the news, had the petal-shaped decoration on the back of his head standing up.

His eyes widened and he stared into Rayleigh's eyes.

“He wants to block the Grand Line?

How can this be!

Once he does something like this, won't the New World have to join forces to attack? "

"But what if he convinces Newgate and Shanks to support his plan?"

Rayleigh rushed to say to Kurokas.

Hearing this, Kurokas trembled.

"How is it possible? Are you crazy? Is that guy in Newgate crazy too?

And little Shanks, he is a die-hard supporter of Roger!

Why would people like you actually work for someone like him who is trying to cut off the future of pirates! ! !

Especially, that guy is a Celestial Dragon, the carnivore we have always hated the most! ! !

What are you doing for! "

"For the new order, everything is for the new order, Kurokas!"

Rayleigh stood up suddenly, roared in response, and approached Kurokas step by step.

He faced Kurokas's nose that was getting higher and higher in shock.

Rayleigh continued word for word.

"As I said before, the reason why you and I were proud of our identity as pirates in the past was because this identity was one of the few ways to break down classes in this sea!

But now, when the revolutionary army appears on this sea, and then my new captain appears!

Old friends, we must admit that the number of ways to break down classes is increasing, and increasing rapidly!

What about meat eaters?

What about the superior?

If you and I both stubbornly feel that no matter how outstanding the Celestial Dragons are, they are not worthy of people's expectations...

So what is the difference between us who have denied excellence itself and the class we have always longed to defeat in the past! "

Rayleigh was seen sticking tightly in front of Kurokas, his forehead and Kurokas collided, and the tips of their noses were facing each other tit for tat at this moment.

In this state, Rayleigh spoke carefully every word.

"When becoming a pirate is not the only option to change...

When more roads can lead to our final destination...

As a member of the human race!

As a member of the lower class!

As those of us who were once born at the same height as civilians!

I think it is necessary for us to choose a path that will cause the least harm to civilians! ! !

I always believe Roger is right!

But now I know that Gawain is right too!

I never betrayed Roger!

But I now know that what Roger longs to do, Gawain has the ability to do better!

So when you meet such Gawain, Kurokas...

Don’t you think we should help him? ! !

After all, even Roger didn't want to see the Age of Discovery he ushered in, causing all civilians in the world to be enveloped in despair called pirates! ! !

Roger never wanted to start any great pirate era!

All Roger wants is to find the great secret treasure and fulfill his dream of being an adventurer...

Then smash the class that has lasted for eight hundred years in this sea, so that every child born in the future will not have to call another child a master from birth!

All he wants is to break the shadow that Mary Joa casts over the entire world!

Let future children not have to bear the status of slaves from birth! ! ! "
