Start your adventure from Pirate World

Silbaz Rayleigh, nicknamed [Hades], the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, [the right arm of the Pirate King], is undoubtedly a legendary pirate.

In addition to such a legendary background, he also has another identity, that is, the domineering teacher of the future protagonist Luffy.

Of course, now we may only call him a teacher of the basic application of Haki, because Luffy’s advanced application of Haki was taught by Mr. Katakuri, Mr. Leopard Goro and Mr. Kaido.

After the Roger Pirates disbanded, Rayleigh chose to live in seclusion in the Shampoo Islands and became an ordinary local coating craftsman. The locals did not know his identity and affectionately called him "Lao Lei of coating".

Noel sighed in his heart. He thought of Rayleigh just now, but he didn't expect to see him now. He could only say that he was really lucky.

He was the only one in Reilly's dock, and he was still reading the newspaper leisurely. He was out of tune with the noisy scene around him, and he didn't look very reliable.

Just now, there were so many coaters, Noel, who had not made a decision, but now they found such an old man. Such an abnormal situation, even Wuming knew that this old man should be what Noel said, "someone he knows."

Upon hearing Noel's request for coating, Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was observing something, then raised the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile.

"Of course. But I haven't finished reading the newspaper yet. Please wait for a while."

"Oh, okay, then you can take a look first."

Noel nodded in agreement without any dissatisfaction.

Oh?

Riley was a little surprised, but he just smiled and continued reading the newspaper.

After working as a coater here for so many years, most of the people he has met do not have such a temper and patience, so it is indeed a bit surprising.

But that's all, and it's not something worth paying special attention to.

At the same time, Wuming kept looking at the handsome old man in front of her. For some reason, she also felt that this old man looked familiar.

Of course, she couldn't possibly know anyone in this world, so having such a feeling must have something to do with Noel.

So she tried to remember.

Finally, she remembered that there were many bounty pictures posted on the wall in Noel's room. There were many big pirates on them, such as Whitebeard, Kaido, and the Shichibukai.

Like Boya Hancock, whom she hates.

The reason why she hates Hancock is because Wuming found Noel occasionally staring at her bounty map in a daze, which made her feel threatened.

(Noel innocently said that he was just admiring it. Who is not a fan of the Empress?)

Because even she had to admit that this woman named Hancock was indeed a little bit beautiful.

Ahem, let’s get back to the topic

On Noel's bounty wall, in addition to the bounty pictures of the great pirates who are still active today, there are also some pirates from previous eras that he specially collected.

For example, the bounty map of the dead Pirate King Roger.

According to Noel, he was collecting peripherals.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that Wuming remembered that the old man in front of him looked a bit like the person on one of the bounty maps. Although he was older than the person on the bounty map, his appearance did not change much.

I remember Noel told her that it belonged to the Pirate King——

"what!"

After thinking clearly about the identity of the old man in front of him, Wuming couldn't help but exclaimed, which immediately attracted the attention of both Rayleigh and Noel.

Seeing Wuming staring at him in surprise, Rayleigh raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong, little girl, do you know me?"

"Uh, that..."

Feeling as if he had messed up the matter, Wuming looked at Noel with a guilty conscience.

Noel was also a little surprised that Wuming could recognize Reilly, but when he saw Wuming's weak eyes, he rubbed her little head in a funny way and said:

"You didn't do anything wrong, why are you looking at me like this?"

Wuming felt relieved after hearing this, and said a little harshly:

"I just like to see you like this, don't you?"

Noel continued to rub Wuming's head and smooth her hair skillfully: "Okay, okay, you can look at it however you want."

Riley watched the interaction between the two, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.As I get older, I just like watching these.

Now that the thin layer of tacit understanding had been pierced, Noel stopped hiding it and smiled straight to the point:

"After all, you are the legendary pirate, so it's certainly not surprising to meet you."

"Oh? So, are you here specifically for me?"

Hearing this, Reilly put away the newspaper, clasped his hands together, and leaned forward slightly, suddenly giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Wuming's hand immediately touched the gun on his waist, and his whole body became alert.

Reilly didn't care about this and continued:

"'Supernova-like bounty hunter', the recently extremely famous fate-hunting twin stars. Is that their name?"

"You know us?"

"Of course. After all, special 'supernovae' like yours are rare, so they naturally attract much attention."

Rayleigh had a smile on his face, but the next second, the conversation suddenly changed and he said:

"However, I didn't know that the Fate-Hunting Twin Stars were actually slave traders."

Slave traders?

Noel was stunned at first, and then immediately figured out the joints.

Rayleigh's advanced knowledge was almost the same as his, but he couldn't sense the malice of others. He probably sensed Sani's existence and mistakenly thought that they were kidnapping slave traders that the mermaid tribe wanted to sell.

So Noel smiled and explained:

"You are probably mistaken. She is our companion and will go to Fish-Man Island with us next."

"...Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Reilly asked.

Noel did not answer directly, but asked the same question: "You sensed it through sight, hearing, color, right?"

Now Rayleigh was really surprised.

At the same time, Noel called back: "Sani!"

"Noel, what's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing Noel calling her, Sani opened the door, revealed a head from the room, and replied with a somewhat uneasy expression.

When Noel suddenly called her out, she thought something had happened.

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding."

After Noel comforted Sani, he turned to look at Riley again, showing a silent smile.

Silence is better than sound here.

Reilly suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment. The situation was clear now. It was obvious that he had made a mistake and misunderstood the other party.

But this really can't be blamed on him.

He has lived in the Chambord Islands all year round and is used to the slave trade. When he senses that there is a mermaid on the other side's ship, everyone will subconsciously think of slave trade.

Of course, if it's wrong, it's wrong, and Rayleigh won't defend it.

So he smiled and discussed:

"Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake. Otherwise, I can coat you for free?"

"That would be troublesome."

Noel responded at the speed of light.

Pluto's position is here, so it's quite safe now.

Reilly was caught off guard, and Noel's reaction even gave him the illusion that he had been tricked.

Could it be that this guy really just wanted me to coat him when he came to me?

Thinking like this, Rayleigh's heart became complicated.
