On a certain island.

A man wearing an admiral's uniform, but who didn't look like he was even twenty years old, was lying unconscious on the ground at the moment.

Next to him was a woman whose mouth was gagged and her hands were tied to a tree with sea tower stone shackles.

He was whining and shouting something.

At the same time, he stared at the people in front of him.

Although her mouth was blocked and she could not speak, her eyes were filled with murderous intent...

And resentment.

This look left no one doubting that once the shackles on a woman were released, she would definitely risk her life and die with them.

"Shanks, why did you do that?"

"For the captain's plan, and for the world!"

"What I'm saying is, why did you kill Rayleigh?"

"I said, for the captain's plan, but also for the world!"

Shanks had no expression on his face and repeated it again.

When Jabba asked this question, his anger could no longer be suppressed.

When they acted before, they had assigned who was responsible for whom, and Jabba and the other eight people were responsible for stopping Rayleigh.

Of course, as the original companions of the Roger Pirates, Jabba and the others never thought about killing Rayleigh. They were only prepared to stop him, create time for Shanks and the others to subdue Luffy and take Luffy with them, that's all.

However...

Just when they surrounded Rayleigh and suppressed him, Shanks suddenly took the opportunity to burst out and attacked Rayleigh from behind, giving him a fatal blow.

This was something no one expected.

He didn't understand why Shanks did this.

I don’t even understand how he was able to do this to Rayleigh.

You know, whether it was during the Roger Pirates or after Roger's death, Rayleigh always took good care of Shanks.

Therefore, after leaving the joint government's military training camp, Jabba directly questioned Shanks.

If Crocas hadn't grabbed him quickly, he might have been tempted to attack Shanks.

Although Crocas was also a little angry, he was much calmer than Jabba. After stopping Jabba's rampage, he also looked at Shanks.

"Shanks, tell me the reason in detail, otherwise..."

"No one here will let you go!"

Crocas's eyes were a little cold.

Although the rest of the people didn't speak a word, it was clear from their expressions that they had the same intention as Crocas.

If Shanks can't tell one, two, three, then...

Don't blame them for not remembering their past friendship!

But at this time, Shanks sighed slightly.

"You all know what we are going to do next, after all..."

"Among the people here, except for Dorag, everyone has been to Lavdru, and they all know what is inside Lavdru."

"Then, the next question is..."

"Will the vice-captain, who has already gotten involved with Sean, tell Sean everything about Rafdru after we kidnap Goofy?"

"Once he says it, the whole plan will fail directly, and all of us here will probably be captured or even killed by Sean."

"Of course, I'm not afraid of death, and I believe you are too, but..."

"Although we are not afraid of death, Sean can completely control the world. No one can threaten him anymore!"

"So, in order to prevent this worst-case scenario from happening, I had to do that!"

Hearing this, many people frowned.

I always felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't put it into words until...

"Fart, if you are worried about this, then we can take Rayleigh away together and control it until we finish the matter!"

"It can indeed be done, but don't forget that when the eight Yonko-level warriors attacked together, they only managed to suppress Rayleigh. In this case, how long would it take to completely subdue him?"

Shanks asked rhetorically.

And Jabba also fell silent, not knowing how to refute.

Because he knows very well that the key to the entire battle lies in the word "quick". After all, Sean's men have space-type devil fruit abilities and can reach the battlefield in a very short time.

Even the eight people who already had general-level combat power in Roger's time and even had Yonko-level combat power now were able to suppress Rayleigh with great difficulty.

But that was only suppression, and if you wanted to kidnap Rayleigh just like how you kidnapped Luffy, you would have to not just suppress him, but completely subdue him and make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Obviously, in this fast-based combat, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

"Then you can't..."

"I understand that when everything is over, I will personally go to the vice-captain's grave and commit suicide to apologize!"

"Shanks, you..."

I heard Shanks say that.

Even though the rest of the people still felt unhappy in their hearts, they didn't know how to blame them anymore.

At this time, Crocas could not see the restrained Xia Qi in the distance.

"Shanks, what about Xia Qi?"

"Shaqi doesn't know what's in Raff Drune, I won't hurt her!"

"That's good. If that's the case, let her go. Maybe we can see Rayleigh one last time."

"No, not yet!"

"What do you mean?"

At this time, Crocas was also angry.

Lei Li's matter was settled for the time being, but Xia Qi didn't know about Rafdru's matter.

Moreover, if she didn't let him go, she might not even be able to see Rayleigh for the last time, which would be too cruel.

"You all know the vice-captain's current strength. Even if he was severely injured at that time, he would not die immediately. I estimate that he could last at least a day or two."

"During this period, the vice-captain may wake up for a while. If he confirms Xia Qi's safety at this time, then..."

"I will definitely tell Sean everything!"

"Therefore... we must not let Xia Qi go before we confirm the vice-captain's death!"

Shanks had no expression on his face, shook his head and said.

This means that people can be released, but they must wait until Rayleigh is dead.

------

The next day, late at night.

There was a message from the Navy.

Rayleigh, the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates and now the deputy chief instructor of the United Government's Armed Services Training Camp, died after more than a day of ineffective rescue efforts!

As for Shanks, who raided the coalition government's military training camp and killed Rayleigh and other 22 people.

The coalition government issued the highest-level SSS-level wanted order, with a reward of 300 billion beli per person, regardless of life or death!

At the same time, anyone who provides information on the location of these 22 people will also receive a reward of 100 billion beli once confirmed.

This unprecedented reward instantly detonated the entire world.

You know, there are 22 people, and each of them has a reward of 300 billion Beli, which adds up to 6600 billion Beli.

When has such a terrifying bounty appeared in this world?

Those who provide location information alone can get 10 billion. Back then, even Roger...

Bailey is only a little over 55 billion...

However, despite the sensation, no one really wanted to go over and kill them.

Among those 22 people, 21 were members of the Roger Pirates. Now these people are either Yonko level or general level. Except for the monsters from the coalition government, no one can really take them down. .

Therefore, almost everyone is just trying to find a way to get the 100 billion beli reward, that is, to find their location and report it.

Naturally, this news quickly reached the ears of Shanks and others.

On the small island, everyone was a little sad.

After all, Rayleigh was their former vice-captain. Although he was not killed by them personally, if they hadn't suppressed Rayleigh...

Shanks wouldn't have the chance to successfully attack...

Even Jabba and the other eight people who participated in the siege of Rayleigh had decided that once everything was over, they would kneel in front of Rayleigh's grave.

However, there was one person present who was excited in his heart.

That's right, it was none other than Xia Qi who was gagged and restrained.

Shanks and the others didn't know, but Xia Qi knew it very well.

After more than a day of resuscitation, he died because the resuscitation was ineffective?

puff...

Unless that guy Sean had been here for such a long time, he wouldn't have known about the accident at the military training camp or that Rayleigh was seriously injured.

if not...

With Sean's perverted healing ability, isn't it easy to save Rayleigh?

Therefore, this news is definitely false and was deliberately released by Sean.

As for the reason, didn't Shanks already say it yesterday?

As long as Reilly didn't confirm his safety, he would be scrupulous and would not tell Sean about Love Drew.

This was the case yesterday. It was because Rayleigh knew that he was captured by Shanks and the others that he did not dare to attack with all his strength and could only fight with his hands and feet tied.

Otherwise, Yi Leili has now completely entered the king-level strength, Jabba and the eight of them, even if they all have entered the Yonko-level combat strength...

It was simply impossible to suppress Rayleigh.

It's even more impossible for Shanks to succeed easily.

She would still be worried if Rayleigh was killed on the spot, or died of his injuries shortly after Shanks left.

But now...

What a worry!

That guy Rayleigh must be alive and kicking now.

Originally a master of intelligence, Xia Qi figured out everything in an instant.

Of course, he can't show it on his face now, otherwise...

It's possible that all efforts were wasted.

The next moment, Xia Qi leaned over like a movie queen, her eyes slowly began to blur and became dim and lifeless.

"Shanks, can you release Shaqi now?"

Seeing Xia Qi's appearance, Crocas couldn't bear it and said.

"Well, okay, leave her a phone bug, and then we'll leave!"

"it is good!"

Crocas walked forward slowly, took out what was blocked in Xia Qi's mouth, and unlocked the handcuffs and restraints.

"Xia Qi, I'm sorry!"

"When everything is over, I will go to Lei Li's grave. Even if you want to kill me, I will not frown!"

"After we leave, you can use the phone bug contact to save you!"

"Well, this is Balfleur Island in the South China Sea."

After Crocas finished speaking, Xia Qi remained motionless, her eyes dim.

Just like the walking dead.

Seeing this scene, Krocas also sighed, and then said nothing more, but stood up and left with the others.

But they didn't notice.

Xia Qi, who was like a walking zombie, now turned on her sense of knowledge.

Even if they walked far away and used the cover of the woods, someone would use their ability to leave.

But Xia Qi still felt it.

Although she didn't know how Shanks and the others left, she was basically certain that it was definitely a space-type Devil Fruit, just like Bruno.

if not...

It is impossible for everyone to disappear suddenly.

After confirming again and again that Shanks and the others were no longer on the island, the gloomy eyes suddenly regained their luster.

Then, she quickly picked up the phone bug on the ground and dialed.

------

One minute later.

A door opens on the island.

Then, a figure quickly rushed out from inside and came to Xia Qi's side in a whoosh.

"Xia Qi, are you okay?"

"Quick, let me see if you're injured anywhere?"

As he spoke, Rayleigh started to move his hands, touching here and looking there.

But soon, he was kicked away.

"roll!"

Xia Qi looked angry.

This shameless old man took advantage of the opportunity to get stuck on gas, right?

The most important thing is, in front of other people, I touch my body everywhere, don’t I want to lose face?

Then, he looked at Sean who was standing not far away.

"Sean, was it your idea to let the old guy Rayleigh pretend to be dead?"

"Yes, after all, only if this guy dies can you eliminate the danger, right?"

Sean smiled and nodded.

"By the way, the purpose of their operation should be related to Rafdru, right?"

"You even know this?"

Xia Qi was stunned.

Originally she wanted to tell Sean, but in the end...

Sean already knows?

"Well, if they just captured Luffy, I can't guess yet, but they wanted to kill Rayleigh too deliberately."

"So I made a bold guess and came to a preliminary conclusion. The reason is..."

"Raleigh is the only one who knows about Ravdrew's situation and it's not under their control."

"In addition, Shanks once deliberately let Luffy eat the Nika Fruit, and even deliberately sacrificed an arm in the East China Sea in order to guide him to become a pirate."

"After adding these together, I have to wonder what secret Laf Drune hides. This secret can even make Shanks believe that it can be used to defeat the coalition government, and Luffy..."

"That's the key to this secret."

"As for Rayleigh..."

"It should just be that Shanks didn't let me know what Rafdrune was hiding. After all, Rayleigh was also one of the people who knew..."

Hearing this, both Xia Qi and Lei Li, who had just gotten up after being kicked out, looked surprised.

I didn't expect that Sean could analyze so many things based on these.

It's almost completely consistent with the facts.

It was even more detailed than her own analysis.

Lei Li, on the other hand, was even more surprised than Xia Qi.

After all, he knew what Rav Drune was like.

What Sean said was like following the Roger Pirates and experiencing everything.

At this time, when Rayleigh was shocked.

Xia Qi, who was not far away, had already glared over.

"Old guy, why are you still pretending to be dead? Come over here and explain clearly!"

"Yes, yes... come here, come here!"
