The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The outside world was unaware that Sabo had temporarily left the Revolutionary Army, let alone that he had boarded Buggy the Clown's ship and taken the initiative to become a pawn in the game.

There are still some old members of Roger's pirate group alive. They are all retired old men. When they see the news that Ace is about to be publicly executed, their psychological activities vary.

Rayleigh and Xia Qi left the Sabaody Archipelago before the auction started to avoid suspicion. Now it seems that this was the right decision.

No outside men have entered Nine Snake Island for a long time. The Rayleighs have special identities, and Xia Qi once served as the queen of Amazon Lily.

Rayleigh knew the rules of Nine Snake Island and didn't want to cause trouble for his woman, so he did not go deep into the heart of the Kingdom of Women with Xia Qi.

Choose a place near the sea line and set up a temporary simple tent, where you usually sleep and rest, and don't have too much contact with the Amazon female warriors.

Xia Qi sometimes comes to deliver meals to a designated location. Normally, Reilly will cast a fishing rod on the shore and enjoy the process of sea fishing.

The fish resources near Nine Snake Island are very rich. Rayleigh can catch a lot of sea fish every time and become an old man who grills fish on the shore.

“Today’s catch is quite good. I’ll let you fish for a few more days. I think you can catch all the sea fish near Nine Snake Island.” An old lady appeared behind him, no longer looking young and beautiful as before.

Granny New is the former Flame Flower and was once a crew member of the Rocks Pirates. After retirement, she assisted the Empress in maintaining the rule of Nine Snake Island.

Rayleigh becomes more handsome as he gets older, while Granny New has become skinny and shrunken, and can barely be considered a woman. Xia Qi's secret of maintaining good looks is not something that every empress can do.

"The vicinity of Nine Snake Island is the nest of sea kings, and the fish resources are very rich, so I can eat a few fish." Rayleigh didn't want to leave for the time being. Even if Grandma New threatened to drive him away, the old man would change the subject. He didn't want to get involved in disputes that didn't belong to him.

Grandma New was still very pleased that Xia Qi could come back and enlighten the current Empress Hancock, so that she could slowly walk out of the shadow of the past.

Those female warriors who once worshipped Hancock as their goddess could not stand the fact that their goddess was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons. Such a big stain could not be washed away.

After the questioning voices were raised, Hancock's defense was broken for a while, and her pure and invincible golden body was broken, causing the people on the island to become divided.

Fortunately, Grandma New still has her prestige. After clearing out those gossiping women from Nine Snake Island, the criticism against Hancock has temporarily stopped.

Just because Grandma New is old doesn't mean she can't lift a knife. She threw her people into the sea to feed the fish, which she did many times when she was young.

Hancock's rule over the years has spoiled some women, making them think that their class is the same as the empress' class. Although Nine Snake Island does not welcome men, its internal operating mechanism is the same as the outside world.

The strong are respected and rule everything on the island. If you don't want to be ruled, you are welcome to swim away. There is no shortage of female islanders to join Nine Snake Island.

"Ace is Roger's only son, Rayleigh, don't you have anything to say?"

Faced with the old woman's question, Reilly put down the fishing rod in his hand. He actually didn't want to face this question.

"Everyone has their own destiny. Ace has taken this step, and I can't change anything. I am old and tired, and I don't want to be involved in war again."

Rayleigh took off his glasses, and his originally gentle eyes gradually became sharp. He looked into Grandma New's eyes and conveyed his thoughts.

Why does Granny New care about Roger's son? It is obvious that there is a hint of sarcasm in her words. The Rocks Pirates have become losers, and the Roger Pirates have become the winners of the old era. Although she is old, her heart is still young and she still wants to regain her face.

"I feel that Ace's personality is not like Roger's son, but more like Whitebeard's son. This father and son will face their own end," said Granny New with a helpless sigh, then turned and left with her cane.

The four of them once came to the Land of Giants together. Granny New had a deep memory of it. No matter how high-spirited the young Whitebeard was, he could not escape the erosion of time in the end.

Reilly's mood for fishing was completely ruined. He cursed the bad woman New Mother-in-law in his heart. When he kidnapped Xia Qi, it was New Mother-in-law who tripped him up in secret, and now she was exposing his scars again.

In fact, Rayleigh wanted to save Ace in his heart, but considering the objective reality, his body could not withstand the high-intensity war, and the injuries he suffered in his youth now came back and recurred at the same time.

He has his own self-knowledge. If he faces the admiral head-on, can he last half an hour pretending to be the former Pluto?

You can only fool people for a while, not for a lifetime. Her body functions can't keep up, so Xia Qi took the initiative to go on vacation. She didn't want to see her man, so she went to Marinford and never came back.

"I can still exert some of my former strength. Roger, I am really ashamed of you." Rayleigh returned to his tent with distress and guilt.

Due to his old age and lack of mental strength, Rayleigh increased his sleep time to make up for the mental loss.

I wonder if Rayleigh will dream of his former good brother Roger when he falls asleep. Will Roger question him why he didn't save Ace?

Isn't the friendship of being on the same boat worth it for Raleigh to risk his life for Roger's son?

Ace had little contact with Roger's pirate group since he was a child. He had seen Red-Haired Shanks a few times in his life, had seen Rayleigh, and had never even seen Jabba.

The Roger Pirates really disbanded, and the crew members scattered all over the world and never had any contact with each other. If it weren't for the rise of Shanks later, this group of people would have had no contact.

Hancock temporarily broke free from her negative emotions and became good friends with Diana and Vivi. The three girls could talk about anything when they got together.

Vivi is now Luffy's crew member. Hancock has never seen the Straw Hat Boy and her mind is still normal and she has not become love-brained. She doesn't quite understand why her best friend admires a little boy.

Vivi is now powerless and cannot help Luffy, let alone herself. Fortunately, her father is temporarily being taken care of by Crocodile, and the father and daughter have not yet been separated forever.

Ace is very important to Luffy. Vivi understands Luffy's character. He will definitely participate in the battle at the top and personally save his sworn brother. Now it seems that the chances of his survival are slim.

"Vivi, you don't have to worry too much about Luffy. There are big shots who will definitely protect him. That conspirator will not let his pawn die," Diana comforted her bestie, telling her not to worry too much.

The fact that Buggy can negotiate with Crocodile shows how much he values Luffy. The navy will not negotiate with pirates.

Buggy has many powerful cadres, and it should be possible for him to knock Luffy out and take him away on the battlefield. The main targets of the navy are the Whitebeard Pirates and Ace.

Luffy is only a secondary target. If he is too conspicuous on the battlefield, he will easily become the target of concentrated fire, and the navy admirals will find it difficult to let him go.

Even if we take a step back, Luffy's grandfather Garp is still in Marinford. If the grandfather comes to beat his grandson, no outsider should dare to stop him.
