Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

"Xia Qi, I'm back!"

After drinking at the bar in the casino, Rayleigh finally returned to Xia Qi's bar.

"Hehehe... you won a lot today, right? You bought a glass of wine worth ten thousand berries without blinking an eye." Xia Qi glanced at Rayleigh with disdain.

Rayleigh didn't care when he heard what Xia Qi said. Xia Qi had many eyes and ears in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Hahaha! I did win some. I still have more than 800,000 berries here. Please keep them for me." Rayleigh replied with a laugh.

He immediately took out several stacks of berries and gave them to Xia Qi, as a way of giving her peace of mind so that they wouldn't be thrown out in the middle of the night.

"You're smart. Hancock and the others are here. You can go in by yourself." Xia Qi said calmly.

She gently pushed her hand towards the bar, and the Berry on the bar fell into her pocket.

"Okay, then I'll go in first." Rayleigh waved his hand and walked towards the backyard.

"Hey! The God of Gamblers is back?"

Jellal, who heard the noise first, looked towards the door and teased after discovering it was Rayleigh.

"Rayleigh, I heard you went to the casino again? How was it? Did you lose all your money?"

"That's right, we just noticed that Xia Qi seemed very angry!"

"Hey, Rayleigh, you stink! You reek of alcohol!"

The girls greeted Rayleigh warmly when he returned.

Reilly: "..."

"Ahahahaha... Well, are you guys going out to purchase something this time?"

"No, we are going to the New World through Fishman Island. The coating matter is left to you, Rayleigh." The Empress said lightly.

"No problem, I will go to coat your ship tomorrow. By the way, why did you think of passing by Fishman Island?" Rayleigh looked at Jellal and asked.

"Well...it's nothing actually. It's just that Snake Princess wants to fight for One Piece, so we're going to Raftel." Jellal said softly.

"What? You're going to Raftel?" Rayleigh was a little confused.

He is now the one who knows best what Raftel has.

If the World Government and the Navy knew about this, they would definitely do their best to stop and capture the Nine Snakes Pirates.

The current Nine Snakes Pirates are no match for the Navy, let alone the World Government.

Then he subconsciously wanted to stop the Nine Snakes Pirates from going, but after thinking about it, he could not find any reason.

Rayleigh walked over and sat cross-legged, and fell silent for a moment.

Everyone in the Nine Snakes Pirates also looked at Rayleigh. They all knew that Rayleigh used to be the vice-captain of Pirate King Roger, and that Rayleigh had also been to Raftel.

Rayleigh thought for a while and then said softly, "In fact, the treasure Roger mentioned is fake. The things in Raftel are not treasures, but they are far more important than treasures. I can tell you..."

"No need. I choose to go to Raftelu by myself. As for whether there is treasure or not, it is not important to me!" The empress immediately interrupted Rayleigh and said.

Rayleigh looked at the Empress, then at Jellal, and after more than ten seconds, he understood the Empress's determination.

How could he not support the younger generation when they have such a dream?

"Okay, I support you. In that case, I will prepare the coating materials now and coat your ship tomorrow." Rayleigh said with a smile.

Then he got up and walked out of the backyard.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Xia Qi leaning against the door. It was obvious that she knew about the conversation in the backyard just now.

"Aren't you going to stop it?" Xia Qi said lightly.

Rayleigh shook his head, then said, "There's no need to stop them. It'll just be a dozen more people knowing about it. With Jellal here, they can reach Raftel."

After saying that, Rayleigh walked out of the bar. Xia Qi looked at Rayleigh and thought for a while.

After taking a deep puff of the cigarette and looking towards the backyard again, his expression relaxed, as if he had figured something out.

----

"Lady Snake, why did I feel that Rayleigh was a little strange just now? He seemed like he didn't want us to go look for One Piece." In the backyard, Robin asked the Empress.

"Don't worry about it. I, Raftel, must go! Well, didn't you just say you wanted to go shopping? You can go now." The empress said softly.

"That's right! Let's go shopping. Sister Robin, let's go!" Kuina took Robin and walked outside.

"Wait, us too!"

"I want to buy some new clothes, too. I heard that the fashion stores in the Chabaoti Archipelago have launched new products!"

A group of girls rushed out, leaving only the Empress and Jera.

...............

"Snake Princess, let's go out for a walk too. It's been a long time since we last walked on land." Gerard looked at the empress.

"Well... let's go. I like taking walks with Gerard..." the empress replied shyly.

Jellal smiled slightly, took the empress's soft hand and walked towards the back mountain.

…………

“Hehehe…it’s finally out.”

Piercro, who was lurking outside, saw the Empress and Gerard appear, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"Ok?"

Gerard seemed to sense something and looked straight in the direction of Piercro.

But apart from some low grass, nothing was seen.

But he was sure that there was someone over there!

"What's wrong? Gerald?" asked the empress.

"Oh no, this Tyrant Sword Jellal's Observation Haki is so sharp!"

Seeing the look in Gerard's eyes, Piercro was shocked.

Just now he had suppressed his murderous intent very well, not a single trace of it was revealed.

Moreover, even though the two sides were nearly a thousand meters apart, Gerard still managed to notice them.

"There's someone over there, and it seems like he's watching us. Let's go and take a look." Gerard said softly.

The empress frowned slightly after hearing this. She hated surveillance the most. Then she and Gerard walked towards the direction where Piercro was.

Jellal immediately released his Observation Haki, covering the entire Island 13.

He had already targeted Pierre Crowe and was just trying to see if there were any accomplices.

It didn't matter if I checked it out. The Observation Haki swept across Island No. 13 and immediately found four groups of people around Xia Qi's bar.

All together, there are 46 people. I just don't know if these people are in the same group.

"Haha! There are still quite a few people." Gerard sneered.

In a few minutes, Gerard and the Empress were less than a hundred meters away from Piercro.

Jellal let go of the Empress' hand and slowly drew out the Snow Drinking Sword.

At this moment, everyone heard a harsh friction sound.

"Qiang!"

The Xueyin Sword was fully unsheathed, revealing a breathtaking light.

"Aren't you coming out yet?" Gerard said lightly.

The voice was very soft, but extremely cold and murderous.

“Hehehe… As expected of a Tyrant Sword! This observation Haki is truly incredible…”

Now that he had been discovered, Pierre Crowe walked out.
