Pirates: I was born to be a king

Chambord Islands.

Noah led Leah, Alyssa, Robin, and Kella to the others and said, "You really don't want to come with me?"

Noah confirmed it again and again. After all, it was quite exciting to parade around the streets with a bunch of beauties.

After unifying the sea, he arranged the maids to be heads of other departments because they had their own specialties. Although they were still with him in the palace, they could not run away as he pleased.

In fact, he can't do it, but who says he is the king?

Joanna and Michelle are in the same group.

Joanna waved her hands and said, "I don't want to go! Lord Noah must be going to buy clothes or go to the casino or something like that. I want to go to the amusement park!"

Michelle echoed beside him: "That's right, the casino smells so smoky, who wants to go there?"

Noah sighed, turned his head to look at Luo Lan and Vanessa on the other side, and said, "Aren't you coming with me too?"

Vanessa's expression seemed very conflicted, but Luo Lan was not. She said in an extremely certain tone: "Yes, I'm going to replenish the library."

Vanessa also wants to buy some medical books because she heard that many medical masters have published books recently.

Roland looked at Robin and said, "Robin, do you want to come together? I think you need to buy some history books too."

Robin was a little moved. She bit her lip lightly, looked at Noah awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Noah."

After saying that, she quickly ran to Luo Lan.

Noah's eyes twitched slightly when he saw this, and the look he gave Roland was almost like a knife, as if to say:

Just wait for me!

Luo Lan ignored the threat, took Vanessa's hand and said, "Sister Vanessa, Robin, let's go!"

Noah looked at their backs speechlessly as they left, and said, "Luo Lan needs to work on his emotional intelligence. He actually has no sense of propriety."

Liya laughed awkwardly, thinking to herself: Uh, could it be that she understood it, but just thought that Lord Noah was boring?

Noah tilted his head to look at one of the last two groups - Sibel, Rosalind, and Elena.

Before she could speak, Elena said, "Lord Noah, we are going to replenish food and fresh water. The high-quality steak you like is out of stock. If you don't want to eat ordinary seasonings, it's best to buy some in Champagne. The Sicilian red wine you like is out of stock, and..."

Elena was holding a long piece of paper that was about to fall to the ground, and she was talking rapidly.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop..."

Noah made a stop gesture directly, looked at Elena with a painful mask on, and said unhappily: "Okay, go ahead!"

Then the two chefs, Elena and Rosalind, left with a greedy Sibel.

Noah looked at Irene and Kuina again and asked, "What about you guys?"

Erin was about to speak but was interrupted by Noah.

"Let me think, a weapons store?"

"black market?"

"auctions?"

Noah listed three places in a row.

Irene and Kuina both nodded dumbly.

Noah waved his hands helplessly and said, "Take enough money, and remember to buy rare treasures when you see them. Money is just waste paper if left alone. Do you understand?"

The two nodded again and left with a blank look on their faces.

Noah took the three girls to Xia Qi's bar.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Lao Lei, who was drinking wine, besides Xia Qi.

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Rayleigh to be here?"

Noah quipped, "Didn't you sell yourself to a rich woman?"

Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha, there's nothing I can do. It failed to sell several times, so I had no choice but to come back from the auction."

His tone was so nonchalant that if you didn't know him, you would have thought he had just returned from visiting a friend.

Noah laughed and said, "Why bother? Why don't you just ask them to unlock it for you? You're ruining their collar and cage for nothing."

Rayleigh also said with a smile: "No, the people there don't respect the elderly and love the young. But brother Noah, are you here to chat with an old man like me?"

"Do you have any business to introduce?"

When he thought of Noah's ship, Rayleigh felt a mixture of love and hate. It was a lot of money, but it was also very tiring.

Compared to working to earn money, he preferred to "take" money from those nobles.

The thief never changes!

"That's right!"

Noah nodded. He was indeed here for this matter. As he spoke, he gently threw out something that looked like a piece of iron.

Rayleigh took it quickly, opened his hand and saw that it looked like an iron plate at first glance, but was extremely delicate upon closer inspection.

"The boat is at the dock at No. 41. Keep this close to you."

Noah took the wine glass that Xia Qi brought over and took a sip.

Well, very pure. It seems that Xia Qi did not use inferior products to fool Noah.

Xia Qi smiled and asked, "Where are the other girls?"

Liya thanked him, took the juice, and said, "Some of them went to play, some went to buy things."

Xia Qi was surprised and asked, "Oh my, they are not with Brother Noah?"

Liya replied: "There is no other way. It is more efficient to separate them. Besides, Lady Noah originally wanted to go to the casino, but they don't like gambling."

Xia Qi laughed and said, "He's just like our old Lei."

Liya waved her hands and said, "Lord Noah just likes to play. After all, nine out of ten gambling losses occur, and Lord Noah rarely loses, so he is quite curious about this feeling."

"I see, what a strange person!"

Xia Qi was a little surprised. Noah did not look like a normal gambler.

the other side.

Rayleigh looked at the iron block in his hand that looked like a token and asked, "Have you recruited any new subordinates?"

He thought Noah was afraid that his new subordinate wouldn't recognize him, so he gave him a badge as an identity certificate.

"No, but it is indeed an identity certificate. You will know when you go there."

Noah shook his head, then changed his tone and said solemnly: "Rayleigh, what is the onepiece on Raftel?"

Rayleigh had just put away the sign. He was stunned for a moment after hearing Noah's words, then he grinned and laughed, "What? Brother Noah can't wait to get the information about OnePiece from an old man like me?"

However, he did not expect that Noah nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I have to say that I am a king with little patience."

Seeing that Noah's expression did not seem fake, Rayleigh's nerves were a little tense, because the man in front of him was not someone who could be easily dealt with. If Noah forced to ask, he would have a headache.

“Hahahaha, spare me, I’m already an old man with a coating. If I tell you, I won’t have a peaceful life anymore.”

There is no doubt that Rayleigh is a very charming man, and even now his eyes are full of determination.

"Besides, wouldn't it be more interesting to find something like OnePiece yourself?"

Rayleigh tried to dissuade Noah from the point of view of the pride of the strong.

At the same time, Xia Qi, Liya and others also turned their eyes over.

Noah said indifferently: "Compared to the process, this king actually cares more about the result. This is a common problem for every king."

It's like a big country. If every single thing is carefully considered, Noah would be exhausted to death even if he has the body of a god.

Rayleigh pulled his face down and said sternly, "What if I don't want to say it?"

However, Noah put a hand on the other's shoulder and said with a smile: "Please tell me!"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and even Xia Qi stopped wiping the cup.

Alyssa vaguely covered Kela behind her.

Liya also spread out her observation Haki, but as soon as she did so, she was stunned and her face became a little strange.

next second.

"All right!"

Rayleigh's tense body relaxed, and he said with a glimmer of hope: "Believe me, Noah!"

"You don't want to know the truth!"

There was a lingering sense of dejection and fear in Rayleigh's tone.

Seeing that Noah was indifferent, he could only sigh and prepare to tell the truth: "Actually..."

"and many more!"

Just as Rayleigh opened his mouth, Noah immediately interrupted him.

"what!"

Rayleigh frowned and said dissatisfiedly that he had finally decided to tell this matter. He had originally wanted to keep this secret until the big war.

Noah smiled and said, "Let me guess first."

“Sea level rise?”

Rayleigh's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The Fruit of God - Human-Human Fruit, Nika Form?"

Rayleigh stood up suddenly and stared at Noah in disbelief.

"Devil Fruit Tree?"

Noah said that sentence slowly, "Or the king of the Celestial Dragons, Im?"

Rayleigh couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"

"No."

Rayleigh sat back down and said unhappily, "Why are you asking me if you already know everything?"

Noah pressed his hand down to signal him to calm down. After Rayleigh calmed down, Noah replied: "I don't know OnePiece, I'm just guessing. What did you see?"

To be honest, Noah was curious about what Rayleigh knew.

Rayleigh recalled: "We actually knew nothing. When we arrived at the Last Island, there was nothing there. No treasure, no domineering secrets or sword manuals, no ancient weapons, nothing!"

Rayleigh laughed and said, "We are the ones who somehow entered at an inappropriate time and somehow came out to become the leader."

"The so-called onepiece is really bad!"

Noah ignored Rayleigh's complaints and just asked, "How's the Devil Fruit Tree?"

Rayleigh stopped laughing and said, "That tree is now mostly bare. When we went there, we thought it was dead. But even if it is dying, it is hard to hide its elegance."

Rayleigh recalled Raftel's devil fruit tree, which stood tall in the center of the island, reaching the sky with no end in sight, and its winding roots had become small hills.

“It’s hard to imagine how spectacular it must have looked in its heyday.”

Rayleigh sighed, even though he had been to Sky Island and seen the huge vines winding straight up; had been to Elpav and seen the towering Adam Tree; had been to Fishman Island and seen the Eve that grew thousands of miles away, but none of them were half as great as the other.

Rayleigh said: "When you look at it from a distance it is already very spectacular, but when you get closer you will find that even an ant is smaller than it, and the closer you get to it the smaller you will get."

"It is said that when it is lush and leafy, each leaf is equivalent to a small island."

Noah laughed after hearing this and said, "Where did you hear that from?"

Rayleigh said seriously: "Roger said that. Roger learned it from the records in this historical text."

Noah nodded slightly and said, "The rumors are true. The so-called devil fruit tree is not actually like that. It has a more domineering name—"

"world Tree!"

Noah said solemnly.
