While Gawain was thinking, Rayleigh nodded slightly.
"I see!"
He couldn't help but rub his chin gently.
"No wonder I didn't encounter any trouble when I came to live in Shampoo.
I temporarily lived in Chambord with the idea that the most dangerous place is the safest place. During that time, Roger had just died and set off the Age of Discovery. He was really a thorn in the side and flesh of the World Government.
Before that, my bounty was only 1.6 billion. After all, I was only the deputy captain. This bounty was already the largest among the deputy captains.
But after Roger passed away, my bounty doubled, so that in order to avoid possible pursuit, I decided to hide in an absolutely dangerous place like Chambord.
It stands to reason that I will be discovered soon. After all, I am not someone who hides his secrets.
Even if I'm not in the pirate group, I still like to be in the spotlight.
Little by little, I tested the bottom line of the investigators in Shampoo, first making small appearances, and then taking a grand walk.
In the end, Lao Du was so arrogant that he sold himself into the largest auction house in Shampoo, and was auctioned on stage in front of countless Tianlong and CP members, but no one came to arrest me!!!"
Having said this, Raleigh couldn't help but laugh bitterly. While laughing, he patted Gawain on the shoulder.
"Captain, just forget it if the Celestial Dragons don't know me. How could those CP members who are responsible for guarding the Celestial Dragons not know me?
It’s okay now. Before I met you, I had been missing for nearly twenty years and had been forgotten by people.
But that was back then, not long after Roger died. As a result, the CP members couldn’t even recognize the old man who was standing on the auction stage without any disguise!
From that day on, I knew that it was probably a senior person in CP who had spoken!"
Rayleigh smiled bitterly and pointed at Old Man Law.
"I really thought you were a high-ranking person in CP. After all, your combat prowess at its peak was at least comparable to Shi Ji's.
I thought you helped me, so I thought I had a certain tacit understanding with you.
Since then, I have completely settled in Xiangbo Island. Not only that, the famous supernova arrives in Xiangbo District every year. So when Xiangbodi Island came under martial law to crack down on pirates, I went to the auction to sell myself once to test me.
Is the tacit understanding with you still there?
Although this kind of behavior is a bit risky, it is better than what I thought, when you will step down from the stage without knowing when.
I don’t want to be blocked by people who suddenly come to my door together with Xia Qi. After taking the risk and testing it once, I can at least live in Shampoo safely for a few months..."
After the words fell, Rayleigh patted his forehead helplessly.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were the Five Old Stars!
If I had known that you were the Five Old Stars, then why would I do such embarrassing things as selling myself out!
If you are only a senior member of CP, your position may be removed at any time.
But you are a five-year-old star. Damn it. If you had known that I would not even do any work, but just stay around the Shampoo Land and eat bad food. That kind of life is definitely much more luxurious than staying on the island and extorting money!
I have simply missed twenty years of my blessing!!!"
Rayleigh was extremely depressed, while Rayleigh aside, Gawain felt relieved.
He knew that what Lei Li was depressed about was not the trivial things he said. No one present could not see it.
As for Reilly's attitude, it mainly means that the original incident has been revealed. Old Man Law was saved by Roger and Reilly. Roger caused a lot of trouble to Old Man Law. He and Roger were reconciled.
.
As for Rayleigh, the existence of Old Man Law allowed members of Roger's group, including him, to receive certain generous preferential treatment.
This is also a different kind of two things.
Across the way, after hearing Rayleigh's words, Old Man Law waved his hand in a funny way.
"Haha, it turns out that the reason why you are so high-profile is because you are testing!
I thought you just wanted to die, but since you didn't cause any trouble, I finally gave you a way to be free.
Most of you guys in the Roger Pirates are still alive and well. Although you have no contact with each other, I know your position.
Except for two people, huh, you pirates are really going to cause trouble!
Damn it, an Oden died in such a stupid situation, it would really be an embarrassment to your Roger Pirates.
If he is willing to request to become an ally of our world government as a daimyo, then considering the special situation of Wano, even if they are in the new world, I will send people to at least expel Kaido!
After all, it was the country of Waka that had never surrendered before, and it had its own special national conditions.
As for the other guy, well, Barrett!
With some so-called ideal of being the best in the world, can you rely on mass killing to challenge the Demon-Slaying Order?
Having said that, that guy is still placed on the sixth floor of Impel Down City. Considering that he is a member of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh and Gawain, please find a time to go to Impel Down City to pick him up!
Barrett's freedom is my gift to you, Junior Reilly. You and I have not met each other for more than thirty years, and you are much younger than me after all. I will not be stingy in taking action, and your kindness in saving me,
It’s also much heavier than you think!
After today's banquet, I will issue a pardon, but Barrett is extremely vicious and will only obey those who are stronger than him!
And it’s not just obeying a few stronger people. If you want him to obey, the person he wants to obey must control him by his own strength alone!
Therefore, Gawain, it is up to you to decide when to pick him up."
"oh?"
Hearing the gift given to Rayleigh by the Five Old Stars, Gawain's face was stunned at first, and then he was slightly happy in response.
It's not that he didn't think about bringing up Barrett, but regarding this matter, on the one hand, there are problems with Barrett's character, and on the other hand, the criminals on the sixth floor really need the amnesty order from Wulaoxing himself before they can be released.
Gawain was not willing to do anything to owe the Five Old Stars favors for a Barrett, so he never intervened in this matter.
As for now, since Wulaoxing is rushing to replenish himself with middle-aged combat power, of course he will not refuse anyone who comes!
So Gawain nodded and smiled.
"I see."
Then he put his arm around Rayleigh's shoulders.
"Haha, I really borrowed your light, Mr. Lei Li."
"By any chance, haha, I never thought about rescuing that kid before.
That kid has a very troublesome temper, like...how should I put it, like a dangerous young wolf.
If he is strong enough, he will be the first to challenge his king, and his strength could be equal to mine decades ago. Although he has not exercised much in the past ten years, at least he will not be as strong as me.
Brother Yixiao is even weaker, and he is definitely the first-class existence on our ship.
so……."
Rayleigh vaguely said something to Gawain, indicating that Gawain's current strength would most likely not be enough to completely suppress Barrett.
On the other hand, looking at Gawain, Rayleigh could not help but think.
When Gawain can suppress that boy Barrett, it means that Gawain has grown to at least Roger's level!
Considering that Barrett is much older, his physical fitness continues to improve.
In other words, Barrett seems to have become a benchmark for Gawain. When he comes to the ship, it basically proves that Gawain's strength has surpassed Roger!!!
Thinking of this, Lei Li felt a little dazed and a little unbelievable.
A year ago, I boasted that I would teach a disciple who could defeat Garp.
But how could he have imagined that a Tianlong man in his twenties who had never practiced could actually vaguely reach a level that was at least enough to challenge Roger in a year...
For a time, Lei Li sighed more and more in his heart. This year, neither he nor Gawain.
Everyone has taken a huge step forward...
On the side, seeing Rayleigh's eyes looking back on memories again, the old military man really couldn't sit still!
He patted the handle of the knife gently, and then said grandly.
"Okay, let's do that, Rayleigh. You're a kid. You're only a fraction of my age, but your temperament is much more rotten than mine!
I came here today because I wanted to have a good gathering with Gao Wen’s family and enjoy family happiness!
I’m not here to reminisce about the past with you two!
As for Roger's death, well, that bastard Cholera Dahai, I only wish he didn't die in more pain!
If you feel dissatisfied, well..."
The old military man hesitated for a moment, then he rubbed the handle of the knife with his itchy thumb.
"Let's do this. While you are staying in Mariegio, Rayleigh can take some time to come to Chambord to see me.
If you have the courage to come, I will practice with you!
Although I haven’t beheaded anyone for two hundred years, I am still a famous swordsman for an era. I have dragon-slaying legends similar to those of Ryoma. I also carry a few on my back, so I am qualified to play with you for a while.
!
As for now, hum!
Let's go, let me take a good look at the granddaughter-in-laws, and help you choose a few more ones you like.
Guys like Charles and Debius have more than a dozen wives, are you even worse than them?"
After the old military man finished speaking, he immediately stood up and left the basement.
Other Five Old Stars, you look at me, I look at you, and then stand up with a smile.
Among the five of them, the military man is the oldest and the strongest, and he is considered the big brother.
This can be reflected in both their positions and their clothing.
What are the five old stars wearing? Four of them are wearing suits and leather shoes.
The only special thing is the old military man holding the sword.
He only wears a white vagabond costume and wooden clogs. Isn't this special enough?
After the five old stars left, Gawain patted Reilly on the shoulder comfortingly.
"Old man, let's go."
"Well, it's really time to go."
Reilly stood up slowly, then took off his glasses and wiped them.
While wiping, he smiled bitterly.
"I almost got you into trouble today, Captain."
"Haha, what are you doing? Although I am not Roger, I think I am very proud. You are not only my crew member, but also my recognized elder and my master.
If you are not qualified to be willful, then who is qualified?"
Gawain smiled grandly, and the two of them walked side by side towards the stairs leaving the basement.
As he walked, Rayleigh shook his head regretfully.
"Actually, I didn't blame him at all. Not to mention the different camps between us, the things Roger did would be intolerable to me as a five-year-old star.
As for the kindness of saving a life, it is nothing more than that. If you are not a person with moral values, you will not even bother to recognize it.
But I really learned a lot today, the Five Old Stars are actually such people!
If we put aside their identities and the various orders they have always had.
They look surprisingly generous and generous!”
After saying that, Rayleigh smiled slightly, his eyes full of meaning.
Looking into Rayleigh's eyes, Gawain chuckled and nodded.
"Indeed, Mr. Rayleigh.
Although my identity is of little use most of the time.
It cannot buy the respect of the strong, nor the sincerity of the weak.
As for the only advantage of this identity, isn't it that there are people above it.
Ha ha!"
Amid laughter, Gawain and Rayleigh walked out of the basement together. When they came out, the Five Old Stars had already gathered among the girls.
At this moment, Old Man Law was gently rubbing Bai Xing's big head with his right hand.
While rubbing it, Old Man Law turned his head to look at Neptune and scolded him unceremoniously.
"Stupid people are just useless, huh!
As the majestic king of the fishman kingdom, he also sits on the strategic transportation road that is a battleground for military strategists.
After making countless connections thanks to the geographical location, he actually couldn't even deal with a mere pirate!
You actually let a good girl like Xiao Baixing live in a hard-shell tower for five years!!!
waste!"
After the words fell, Old Man Law raised his foot unceremoniously and lightly kicked Neptune's prostrate arm.
Being kicked like this by Wulaoxing, Neptune almost turned upside down. He trembled for a long time before he responded with difficulty.
“Xiao Wang…no, villain….
Xiaoyu feels guilty, Xiaoyu really didn’t do a good job..."
"That's enough, I don't want to hear your explanation, what qualifications do you have to explain to me!
For the sake of Little White Star, go to the corner and reflect on yourself!"
Old Man Law unceremoniously drove Neptune to the wall in the corner. Although Bai Xing was worried about her father, she couldn't help herself in the face of Wu Laoxing's concern.
As for the diplomatic old man, he was standing next to Hancock and said in an understatement.
"Those idiots who met you back then, huh, they were driven by me to explore the new world. I think it won't be long before they successfully encounter a disaster like a shipwreck. How pitiful.
In short, hey, I am telling you this, just to feel sad that several of my descendants are about to die.
As for you, don’t take it to heart and just live a good life with little Gawain!”
"I know, I know...!!!"
Listening to the words of the old diplomat, Hancock excitedly grabbed the hand of the old diplomat and was unwilling to let go for a long time.
In less than a few hours, Hancock actually said more to the old diplomat than she had to her mother-in-law in the past years.
As for Gion, the old military man was standing beside her and said lightly.
"I just made an appointment with Rayleigh for sword practice. When Rayleigh plans to come over to see me, you should come with him.
Although my swordsmanship is a bit old, it is my past understanding after all. I don’t know how much you can understand it, it depends on your own ability."
"I understand, thank you...thank you...Grandpa!!!"
Not to mention Gion, who was suddenly glowing with golden light. Apart from the three women who were brought to the Five Old Stars, the cultural old man quietly appeared near the wary-looking Robin.
"Ahem!"
The cultural old man combed his beard a little and smiled at the same time.
"Nicole Robin, son of the devil, please take some time to cancel your name."
In addition, Marie Joari keeps some of O'Hara's books. If you want, you can take the time to read them and I will get a pass for you.
Don't be happy too early, O'Hara does have a lot of inventory, and Mary Joy's only has a small portion.
If you want to thoroughly study all the records of Ohala, then when you have time, go to Porusalino with my permit and he will take you to meet a person who has preserved all the cultural records of Ohala.
!”
"Why???"
For a moment, Robin was simply shocked. How could he have something to do with himself here?!
In just a short moment, Robin's mind was filled with a hundred and eighty thousand conspiracies of the Five Old Stars.
Unlike Robin, Nami is much easier to deal with.
The economic man appeared behind Nami, coughed slightly and said.
"Ahem, little girl, do you know who I am?"
"you are……?"
"I am the one in charge of the economy among the Five Old Stars. All the wealth in the world is under my control!
Do you want to know what kind of number that is? Do you want to know how much treasure MarieJoia hides?
Marry Gawain, little girl, as long as you marry Gawain, you can get everything you want!
What do you think?"
"senior!!!"
Gawain finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he quickly stopped Wulao Xing's actions!
