From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Whenever he thought of this, Rayleigh burst into tears under the bed. He decided to go back and write an autobiography about it, and just call it "Raleigh's Life of Adventure"!

Right

Chapter 294 Smoker: You may not believe it, but Rayleigh is my younger brother!

One month, a whole month!

Rayleigh hid under the bed on Diarmait's ship for a whole month. He only dared to come out and move around a little when Kuzan went out to eat.

I went to the bathroom, ate some snacks in the house, drank some water to replenish my nutrition, and I lost a lot of weight.

Just when Rayleigh had gotten used to this inexplicable life and felt a little numb, he finally discovered that this damn ship had stopped!

Only after most people on the boat had gotten off did Rayleigh dare to walk out of the room.

After waiting for a while, he secretly found an opportunity to get off the boat.

It was getting dark over the port at this time, and Rayleigh looked at the island and the port in a daze.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Rayleigh couldn't help but ask himself these three soul-searching questions.

In just a few moments, he had already observed the entire port. It was obvious that this was not a port open to the outside world. Even the island was a closed island. Should it be the base of some force?

A secret navy base?

"That shouldn't be the case. The Navy shouldn't be able to build a base so deep in the New World... Besides, there are no warships here." Rayleigh murmured, turning his head to look at the ships docked in the harbor.

They were all armed merchant ships, neatly arranged, and all flying the flag of Amway Group.

"This is the secret base of the Amway Group. ... It's the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. White Hunter. Smoker, but why would Diarmait and the others come to "Six-Three-Seven"? " Rayleigh quickly assessed the situation.

On second thought, although Smoker is rumored to have many conflicts with the Navy, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after all. If he really cooperates with the Navy on some project, it doesn't seem too unacceptable, right?

As an old pirate, Rayleigh also knew very well that in this world, as long as the interests were sufficient, it was normal for both sides to turn hostility into friendship.

As a well-known wealthy tycoon in the New World, it is normal for Smoker to be able to reconcile with the Navy with his financial resources.

These are not what he should be thinking about now.

What he should be thinking now is...what the hell should I do?

Even though the sky was a little dim, Rayleigh could still feel the vitality of the port. It seemed that they all had their own things to do. He stood alone in the port, which seemed a bit strange.

Fortunately, there are many people in this port, and it is impossible for everyone to know each other, so Rayleigh was not suspected.

Just when Rayleigh was thinking about whether to rob a ship and run away, a group of strong men came over from a distance.

Rayleigh's heart sank. Could it be that he discovered me?

When the group of strong men came over, they asked directly, "You just got off that ship, right? Why are you so slow?"

Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, not wanting to reveal his identity. As a seasoned veteran, he said, "I'm a little slow in cleaning up... I'm getting old."

The burly captain didn't ask any questions and said directly: "Your boss and our boss are going to join forces. Come with me, we will board the ship today..."

"Get on the boat?" Rayleigh was stunned. What boat? I just got off the boat!

The burly captain didn't even explain anything, instead saying to a subordinate behind him, "Give him a gun! Let's get going! Teams Two and Three have already set out. If we're any slower and delay Boss Smoker's business, we'll all be in trouble..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man stuffed a musket into the confused Rayleigh's hands, and then dragged Rayleigh towards a ship not far away.

Rayleigh was dragged onto the boat in a daze.

He didn't dare to make too much noise at this time. After all, this was someone else's lair. So he got back on the boat reluctantly.

Soon, a fleet of armed merchant ships quickly left the port.

From the beginning to the end, Rayleigh still had no idea what the island was called...

When he was on Diarmait's ship, he at least had a single room. But now, Rayleigh had inexplicably become an old sailor, so naturally there was no single room for him to live in. He had to sleep in a hammock with a large group of people in the cabin.

However, with this treatment, Rayleigh felt relieved. At least it was better than sleeping under the bed, right?

He spent a peaceful night, and at dawn the next day, someone woke him up.

"What's wrong?" Rayleigh asked harmlessly.

"Hurry up and go to the deck!" said the sailor happily.

"What's the matter?" Rayleigh asked as he got down from the hammock.

"Huh? You don't know? This is your first day with Boss Smoker, right?" the man asked curiously.

"That's about right..." Rayleigh mumbled.

"The money has been distributed, let's go quickly. You are lucky that you can still keep up with Boss Smoker at such an old age." The sailor nodded, and without any delay, turned and walked towards the deck.

Rayleigh walked towards the deck in a daze.

There was a large group of people standing densely on the deck. Like Rayleigh, they all came on board from the island last night.

The strong captain who had conscripted him was standing in front of this group of people. There were several large boxes behind him. Everyone looked at him with envy.

"Some of you may have followed Boss Smoker and know his rules. Some of you may be newcomers, but no matter what, we are all brothers in the same boat now. So according to the rules, you are all selling your lives to Boss Smoker. The boss is always grateful and never stingy in this matter. Now, give you the money!" said the strong man generously.

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his younger brothers opened all the boxes behind him.

Boxes of Baileys, neatly stacked up there...

Rayleigh didn't feel anything, after all, he was also a big shot who had stood at the top, but the little people around him became excited one by one.

Soon, the strong man and his men started distributing money. After a while, even Rayleigh had two stacks of large-denomination Baileys in his hands.

A rough estimate shows that it is about 200,000 Baileys, which is not a lot.

"This is just the beginning. When the real fighting starts, you will receive resettlement allowances. If you are still alive after the fight, you will receive a bonus. If you die, the money will be sent to your families. In a word, work for Boss Smoker, and he will never treat you unfairly!" the burly pirate captain shouted loudly.

Nothing happened afterwards, and Rayleigh and the others soon returned to the cabin.

Sitting in his hammock at this moment, Rayleigh looked at the twenty Baileys in his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.

What the hell am I doing?

How come he sold himself to that guy Smoker for 200,000 berries out of nowhere?

Seven days later, Rayleigh finally got off the ship in confusion. This time, he not only had a gun in his hand, but also 200,000 Baileys.

And this time, he finally knew where he was.

Because he knew this island.

Endres Island, the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, if I remember correctly, this island seems to be connected to Totland and Wan Guo, the territory of the Big Mom Pirates. In other words, this is the boundary line between the two major pirate groups!

At the same time, as soon as he got off the boat, Rayleigh saw a familiar face, the kid who followed Newgate at the beginning, who was now said to be the captain of his first squadron. What was his name?

Ah, yes, Marco, the Phoenix. Marco.

It seems that this island is under his control?

Fortunately, Marco didn't notice Rayleigh either. These newly arrived allies had been wandering around the sea for so long, and it was time for them to rest. Therefore, Rayleigh and his men were quickly disbanded. Except for the port towns that couldn't leave the island, the rest could...

Finally, he found a hotel and after settling in, Rayleigh activated the Den Den Mushi that had been dormant.

Then he contacted Xia Qi.

When Xia Qi picked up Rayleigh's Den Den Mushi, he was also very irritable and asked, "Rayleigh? What the hell are you doing? Why haven't you contacted me for so long? I thought you were dead. Nothing happened on the Sabaody Archipelago. You can come back now..."

Rayleigh...

"What's wrong with you? Can you say something? What are you doing?" Xia Qi hesitated for a moment and asked...

Rayleigh then spoke: "You may not believe it, but I am now on Endres Island..."

"Endres? Whitebeard's territory? What are you going there for? It should be very dangerous there now, right? The real frontier of the New World!" Xia Qi asked quickly.

"It's a long story. For no apparent reason, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, White Hunter Smoker, bought my life for 200,000 berries. Now I'm just a lowly pirate under his command..." Rayleigh said with amusement.

To be honest, at this point, he can leave anytime he wants. Probably no one on this island can stop him.

Marco, it's nothing.

But at this moment, Rayleigh felt that this was really a fate and it was indeed wonderful. His adventurous gene, which had been dormant for many years, seemed to be activated.

He even came here and accepted 200,000 Baileys as a life-saving payment...

How about joining in the fun?

He had nothing to do anyway, and he was also a skilled and courageous man, so he got in the mood and decided to fight Smoker!

After Reilly told Xia Qi about his experiences during this period, Xia Qi was also very confused. What was going on?

"So what? What do you mean by not finding a chance to leave there now? I don't believe that if you want to leave, there is anyone there who can stop you!" Xia Qi asked in a deep voice.

"I received 200,000 dollars to buy my life. I heard that if I can survive this time, Smoker will be very generous... I plan to hang out here for a while." Rayleigh said with a smile.

He was a scoundrel to begin with, otherwise, in the original story, he wouldn't have sold himself as a slave to cheat people out of money...

Now that he was interested, he had somehow arrived at the front line and received $200,000 in compensation from Smoker to save his life.

It had been a long time since he'd been to the New World, and with something so momentous about to happen, it was impossible for Rayleigh not to be interested. Now, feeling playful, he thought about disguising himself as a small fry... From a lowly perspective, participating in this war, just for fun!

Xia Qi couldn't persuade him, but she knew Reilly's ability, so she didn't object in the end, but just told him to be careful.

At the same time, in a sea area near the island, Smoker's "Smoker" was slowly moving towards Endres Island.

And on his ship were Diarmuid, Kuzan, Gion, Tina, and Jinbe.

2.9 "I have discussed with Whitebeard that we will start the fight from Endres. It is best to control the battlefield within the Totland Sea. We will first meet up in Endres, and then start a full-scale war! Force Charlotte and Linlin to fight with us!" Smoker said in the cabin, pointing to the sea chart.

Smoker didn't know that he had bought Rayleigh for 200,000 Berries. He was now telling Diarmait and others about his plan with Whitebeard.

Tina looked at the sea chart curiously, then asked, "How do we force them to fight us?"

"From here, we will fight our way in step by step. I don't believe they can hold back. If they can, we will fight our way into Cake Island. ... Once we get there, it will be a decisive battle!" Smoker said without hesitation.

Diarmait didn't want to get involved in these things, these details, etc. Smoker and Whitebeard were both professionals among pirates, and he didn't need to give them advice.

So after taking a sip of tea, Diarmait said in a deep voice: "Until Kaido, Charlotte, and Linlin show up, none of us four can get off the ship!"

These four are naturally Diarmait, Gion, Tina, and Jinbe.

After a brief pause, Diarmait smiled again and said, "When we meet Kaido and the others, we'll give them a good beating!"

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Diarmait put down his teacup, stretched out five fingers and said, "Five years. Marshal Zhan Guo wants us to give them a hard time this time, and at least let them live in peace for five years! Okay, that's all I have to say."
