As soon as Old Man Law finished speaking, Rayleigh couldn't hold it in anymore. He clenched the handle of the knife tightly, then gritted his teeth and cursed.
“Shameless!!!”
The old man's voice was filled with saliva in every word. Rather than speaking the words, it would be better to say that he squeezed the word shameless out of his teeth!!!
At this moment, everyone nearby looked at the furious Rayleigh.
Needless to say, Xia Qi looked very calm, although she didn't know what kind of relationship the Five Old Stars and Lei Li would have.
But no matter what, walking in strong winds and waves, she had already been able to ignore most of the surprising things.
Compared with Xia Qi, the other officers on the Black Bird were surprised and a little nervous at the same time, but while they were nervous, they all looked at Gawain's back!
They didn't know what would happen next. If Rayleigh wanted to take action, then they...just obey Gawain's order.
It's not like Gawain will kill the old man Rayleigh. If Gawain is determined to stop Rayleigh, then everyone will hold the old man down together.
And if... Gawain stands on Rayleigh's side and chooses to attack the Five Old Stars!
Then, every cadre on board the Black Bird is also ready to kill Mary Joa!
Especially Crocodile and Xiliu. After a brief moment of silence, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at each other.
After one glance, both of them understood what they were thinking!
At this moment, there are no more than thirty guards behind Wulaoxing. If he and his team are determined to act thunderously, it is actually possible to directly control the five most powerful people in the world here!!!
This is a rare opportunity to capture the thief first!
For a time, Crocodile and Shiliu were gearing up, and their eyes became more and more expectant!
Unlike Crocodile, Doflamingo, the most arrogant guy, was extremely nervous at this moment!
If he hadn't known, Wulao Xing would not be the real top of the world.
If he hadn't known that there was an ancestor and god named Yimu standing behind the Five Old Stars...
If he hadn't known all that, maybe he would have had the same idea as Crocodile.
But he knows too much, so he naturally worries more!
And just when the crew of the Black Bird had different thoughts, other people around...
Not to mention the maids of the Wen family who dare not raise their heads at all.
Let’s just talk about the two kings who stayed at Gawain’s house...
Kobra is about to pee at this moment!!!
That’s the Five Old Stars!
That's the five old stars that can make Alabasta disappear from the map with just one word!!!
How dare this old guy Rayleigh!!!
At the same time that Cobra was frightened and the two groups were fighting, in the Five Old Stars.
Looking into Rayleigh's eyes that neither understood nor wanted to understand.
The old man of the law sighed leisurely.
He gently raised his right hand that was not on crutches and waved it gently to Rayleigh.
"Okay, Rayleigh, your behavior has scared too many people.
This is Marie Joa, and I am the only one who owes you a favor. My four friends don’t owe you anything!
You don’t want little Gawain’s dream to encounter setbacks from now on, kid.
Let go of the knife in your hand, I will explain everything to you!"
After finishing his words, Old Man Law looked around, and then focused his gaze on Gawain.
"Little Gawain, don't let everyone stand here, take us old guys to find a quiet room to rest for a while!
Originally, I and others wanted to have a good chat with my grandsons-in-law, but now, it seems that I need to give a proper explanation to the junior Lei Li first.
Except for you and Rayleigh, no one else should listen and disperse!"
After saying that, Old Man Law and the other four Five Old Stars strode towards Gawain.
Facing the approaching Five Old Stars, Lei Li stared wide-eyed for a long time, and finally reluctantly let go of the hilt of the knife in his hand.
"I want to hear what kind of explanation you have!
Let’s go!”
Rayleigh was the first to follow the steps of the Five Old Stars, while Gawain followed Rayleigh after a brief silence.
They passed through the crowd and went all the way to the basement of the Gawain family.
This is the quietest place in the whole family.
Wulaoxing did not dislike the gloomy environment in the basement. They each found a sofa and rested in different shapes.
As for Gawain, after thinking for a moment, he sat next to Rayleigh.
Seeing Raleigh sit down, Old Man Law spoke first, only to hear him sigh and smile bitterly.
"Hey, Rayleigh, you look like you're going to kill me!
Damn it, we were people who drank wine back then. Even though I’m from Marigio, didn’t you call me uncle back then!!!”
"What the hell...I...hell!!!"
Hearing the words of the Old Man of the Law, Rayleigh's hair almost stood up. He raised his right hand and pointed at the nose of the Old Man of the Law and asked.
"How did I know that before we arrived at the Valley of the Gods, the person you Tianlong people fought against Rocks and Shiji was actually not CP0, but the Five Old Stars!
You didn't wear the clothes of the Celestial Dragon back then, you are so insidious, I really thought you were a senior cadre of CP0 or CP9!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing Reilly's words, Old Man Law burst into laughter. While laughing, he took off his hat and nodded gently to Reilly.
Then he looked at Gawain and smiled.
"Little Gawain may not understand what happened, right.
Or maybe you’ve already guessed it?
Anyway, hehe, Rayleigh, you should take some time to calm down.
Let me tell the story of that year to little Gawain first!"
After saying that, the old man of the law put his hands on the crutches, and his eyes looked past Gawain, as if he had drifted to the battlefield thirty years ago.
While reminiscing, Old Man Law continued.
"Thirty years ago, the Valley of the Gods had not become a ruin. Not only was it not a place we are unwilling to mention now, but it was the place where we worshiped our ancestors back then!
After all, hehe, the Valley of the Gods.
With just this name, people can understand what it means to us, the so-called descendants of God.
In short, at that time, in addition to the World Conference held every four years, the most important event in the world was the Valley of the Gods Sacrifice held every ten years!
There, we, the younger generation, will worship our ancestors with the most pious attitude.
Just like how depraved MarieJoia was, children like Charlos and Charulia would not dare to disobey Roswad's orders.
Even if we allow the younger generations in our clan to do whatever we want, we have taught them the meaning of filial piety.
Unfortunately……."
Old Man Law smiled bitterly and shook his head, then patted his leg gently.
"It's a pity that just thirty years ago, our ancestor worship activities were completely cancelled. Yes, that bastard Rocks destroyed many steles and inscriptions of our ancestors, and almost killed me on the spot!
The importance of the ancestor worship activity that is held every ten years is self-evident. Although the Five Old Stars were not forced to follow that activity, I was so restless that year that I still accompanied everyone to the Valley of the Gods.
a period of time.
When Rocks and Shiki launched the attack, my troops and CP0 were quickly and completely defeated.
In the past eight hundred years, no one has dared to destroy the sacrifices in the Valley of the Gods. I must admit that I have been in peace for too long and underestimated the madness of the pirates.
After all my men fell, I had no choice but to go into battle myself.
But even I could only hold on for about ten minutes under the joint attack of Shiji and Rocks!
I have to admit that from ancient times to the present, there are few people who can be better than Rocks back then.
After I was captured by the two of them, I thought that my death was coming, but who knew, they didn't know the identity of my five old stars!
Thinking about it, it's true that the five of them rarely appear in the world, and almost no one on the sea has seen their faces.
After catching me, they massacred the descendants of the Celestial Dragons whom I protected, but they did not execute me.
They only thought that the old man in the black suit was a subordinate of the Tianlong people, and my suit actually saved my life, haha...
In short, although they did not kill me, their torture eventually destroyed my body. They not only left clear scars on my face, but also left lifelong sequelae on my left foot. I must rely on this shame
Only with a cane can you walk straight."
Having said this, Old Man Law raised his crutch, and then tapped the floor with the crutch.
"Although I suffered countless tortures, I survived. Speaking of which, I have to mention Roger and you, Rayleigh!
At that moment, when I was almost in despair under the torture, your pirate group was really like a magic weapon that suddenly descended and gave me a way out!
First it was you, and then Garp. When Roger and Garp joined forces to fight Rocks, I dragged my seriously injured body along with you and Jabba to completely force Shiji, who was at his peak, back.
After we defeated Shiji, we completely cut off Rocks' escape route. Rocks had no chance to escape, so he died under the joint efforts of Roger and Garp!"
The old man of the law suddenly spread his hands, and then he smiled at Raleigh.
"Look, Kid Rayleigh, at this point, the story of that year is almost clear.
Although after that, you and I had many drinks together and had many, many conversations.
But in the final analysis, I have never deceived you. It was you who said that I was a member of the CP. Do I have to correct your statement?
As for Roger's invitation to me back then, haha, I still can't forget it. That guy really wasted a lot of effort in order to invite me on board.
It's a pity, how could I put aside the work of the Five Old Stars and accompany you to explore the Grand Route and the New World?
Although I rejected you, didn't I send the Flanders child to your ship? If Roger hadn't gone all out to find Raff Drew and become the Pirate King.
If he is just like Whitebeard now, and continues to be an emperor on the sea.
The Flemish child I gave you can not only become your talisman, he can even take over the flag of your pirate group with his own strength, right?
There are a few people at sea who don’t know the name of Red-haired Shanks. Although I couldn’t reveal my identity to personally thank you, I have given you a stable future long ago!
It’s a pity that Roger really insists on having his own way!!!”
Having said this, Old Man Law patted his thigh heavily. He was not angry with Roger, but felt a little sorry.
At the same time, beside Gawain, Lei Li's body stiffened when he heard the words of the Old Man of the Law.
After a long silence, Rayleigh frowned and said.
"According to this, the reason why we were able to discover the treasure chest containing little Shanks was because you were behind it.
But... what the hell!
Roger at least saved your life!
To be sentenced to beheading without hesitation... you are still a bit ungrateful... forgetful... ugh..."
Just as he was talking, Rayleigh himself sighed leisurely.
I saw him gently waving his hands, and then he seemed to have aged two years.
He said while waving his hands.
"Forget it, that was Roger's own decision, he just wanted to die in front of the whole world!
I'm just unwilling to give in, and I really have no right to blame you. As for just now...
I am really a little too excited!"
Reilly bent down in silence, then leaned tiredly on the back of the sofa, raised his head and closed his eyes.
At the same time, opposite the sofa, Old Man Law let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly.
"Little Gawain, understand, this is the story of me and Rayleigh.
Back then, there was still this old man in the Valley of the Gods, and it was from then on that the five of them never took a step closer to Mary Joa!"
The old man of the law suddenly pointed at Gawain.
"I have to admit that this generation of Mariejoia has indeed produced many outstanding descendants.
You, Shanks, and even Doflamingo outside can barely do it!
If the Valley of the Gods happened today, I would be dead if I died, and the position of the Five Old Stars would be filled immediately.
Starting from you, to Shanks, if neither of you agrees, then Don Quixote's kid will have a good opportunity!
But the difference between then and now is that there was not even one person in MarieJoia who was qualified to sit on this position!
If I had died back then, it would have taken a long time for the Five Old Stars to have a chance to be completed!
The Five Old Stars are one of the faces of the World Government. The accident that I encountered must never happen again!
So, haha, this time the five of me travel together, it is really the first time in the past thirty years that we have left Chambord."
Speaking of this, Old Man Law smiled bitterly at Gawain and shook his head, and then he continued to look at Raleigh.
Facing Rayleigh's extremely tired look, Old Man Law sighed and continued talking.
"Boy Rayleigh, I don't think I owe you any favors, whether it's the shield or the future I gave you, which is Shanks.
Or is it that after Roger died, I and others never raised a butcher knife against you, Jabba and others.
You guy even lived in Shampoo, right below me. You are simply too much!
Except for you, and even that fish-man brat who built Roger's ship, my original intention is to pardon you.
Don't forget, the Supreme Court, where I made the decision, gave him ten years of pardon!
When he successfully built the sea train, the judge under me smiled and rode it himself. After he concluded that the trip was worthwhile, he easily pardoned the fishman.
In any case, except for Roger and his son who are also likely to add new fire to the great pirate era, for my sake, the five of me have been unimaginably gentle to you, Roger's subordinates and friends.
Got it!
As for Cap, hum!
If it weren't for his kindness to me, he would be nothing more than a naval hero at best!
That guy doesn't take the Celestial Dragons seriously all day long, and dares to curse the Celestial Dragons and me in front of countless people!
If it weren't for the kindness he had back then, even if his son's revolutionary army career had helped the five of me a little, he wouldn't have thought of talking so casually!"
After finishing his words, Old Man Law snorted heavily.
At the same time, Gawain suddenly recalled something.
Those who have read the comics should know that when Tom the Fishman goes to court, the trial is very short.
Almost no one raised eyebrows, and Tom easily got the chance to be pardoned.
What crime did Tom commit? Build Roger's ship.
This crime may seem unimportant, but in fact, what is the difference between building a ship for Roger and building a plane for Lantern?
They all give the most dangerous people in the world the tools they need most...
As a result, not only was such a crime not sentenced to death on the spot by those ferocious judges, but the judges also held a short carnival party with Tom after Tom was pardoned. The atmosphere was happy until Spangdam arrived with a conspiracy.
After coming, it was finally announced that it was over...
In short, I recall what I felt was wrong at the beginning, and then think about what the old man of the law said now.
Gawain can finally tie his past memories into a bundle!
