Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain Chapter 606

Chapter 606

Shakky’s Rip-Off Bar was no longer as quiet as it was in the past, and it was especially lively.
“Ah… what!”
A scream came from the bar. Luffy and the others who had finished screaming looked at Rayleigh who was drinking the wine in his hands in shock.
Luffy, who was sitting in front of the fridge, was holding a chicken leg in each of his hands. He shouted in disbelief, “The one on the Pirate King ship…”
“Ah!” With a light reply, Rayleigh filled the glass again and introduced himself. “I am the First Mate of the Pirate King Roger, Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh.”
“First Mate!”
The people who were shocked because Rayleigh was the crew of One Piece, heard that Rayleigh was actually the First Mate, suddenly startled, Usopp who was drinking juice directly sprayed out the juice in his mouth.
They didn’t expect that this not simple old man in front of them would actually be the crew of One Piece, and also the First Mate.
Seeing everyone so surprised, Shakky looked at Lin Tian puzzled, “Hey, Lin Tian, you also didn’t explain the identity of Rayleigh to them?”
Lin Tian replied, “Because in the auction, we dealt with the three Celestial Dragons, so I didn’t have time to explain it to them.”
Robin put down the juice in her hand and looked at the stunned Nami and others, feeling very strange, “Did you not notice it before?”
Pointing at Rayleigh, Usopp’s face was full of tears of excitement, “This name is known by everyone.”
“That’s right. Many books have this name in them.” Nami covered her mouth, tears of regret in her eyes. Why didn’t anyone recognize him before?
“Indeed, everyone has heard of this name once.” Sanji still hadn’t recovered from the shock just now.
The name of Rayleigh was not much worse than Roger. For countless pirates, Rayleigh was the legendary idol, especially after Roger’s death.
Rayleigh was the second person on Roger’s ship. In the eyes of pirates, Roger was a legend that would never surpass, and Rayleigh was a living legend.
Zoro leaned on the sofa and asked curiously, “Why do you know Hatchan?”
“Hatchan!” Rayleigh explained, “Twenty years ago, I was saved by Hatchan when I was in the sea. He was my savior until he joined the Sun Pirates. Our relationship was good.”
“It was Arlong!” Luffy, who was frantically searching in the refrigerator, suddenly interrupted.
“However, twenty years ago, Roger, the Pirate King, was killed by the marine. As the First Mate, why are you fine? It is reasonable to say that all of you should be caught by the marine.”
This was not only Sanji. Even Zoro and others, and the entire One PIece World would be curious. For most pirates, the Pirate King and his group were legendary existences. But after Roger, the Legendary Roger and his group all disappeared overnight.
Therefore, many people guessed that the marine must have fought with Roger and his group. Except for Roger, the rest of them were killed in battle.
The room suddenly fell into a tense silence. Rayleigh did not speak, only gently turning the wine glass in his hand, as if he was missing something.
“One Piece King is…” After a long silence, speaking of this news, Rayleigh’s tone was very calm.
“Sigh…”
Luffy and others were immediately shocked by what Rayleigh said, One Piece Roger was caught by the marine, this was something everyone in the world knew, but now someone said that Roger was turning himself.
If it was an ordinary person, they would not believe it, but now the one who said this was Roger’s First Mate, which made everyone have to believe in their hearts.
Lin Tian, who was a senior executive of the marine, knew that many ordinary people didn’t know about things, and explained aloud, “Roger was indeed self-centered, and his target was my teacher, Luffy grandfather Garp.”
“In order to show off their strength, the government threatened the pirates on the Grand Line and announced to the world that they would capture Roger, but they didn’t expect that Roger would create the great voyaging era at the last moment.”
Speaking of this, Lin Tian shook his head and sighed. In the past, when Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku, and the other higher ups of the marine, and the World Government made this plan, they didn’t suppress the arrogance of the pirates, but instead set off the prelude to the age of voyaging.
“The Pirate King went to confess! Why?” Nami asked very strangely.
After Roger became the Pirate King, he was the most powerful person in the world. He had wealth, reputation, and power. Why did he go to the marine? Everyone couldn’t understand.
Gently turning the glass, Rayleigh was about to drink, but he stopped in front of his mouth and said calmly, “Because he saw the end of our journey, almost four years before the public execution day, Roger suffered from an incurable disease.”
“Uh…”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked. Roger actually suffered from an incurable disease before he became the Pirate King. This was not recorded. Perhaps only a few people in the world knew about this.
“In front of this disease that no one can cure, even Roger was in great pain. At that time, it was recognized that the best doctor at sea was also a doctor in charge of guarding the lighthouse. Only he had the ability to relieve the pain. We begged him to join us, and as a boatsman, he accompanied us through the last voyage.”
“In the end, three years later, Roger, who was about to reach the end of his life, completed the hegemony that the world called impossible to dominate the Grand Line.”
For Crocus stayed on the pirate king ship, the crowd was not very surprised, because Lin Tian had already told them.
“The title of Pirate King is useless for a dying man. When we arrived at the last destination, on the eve of death, Roger disband the Pirate Group, all the crew went their separate ways, I almost didn’t know what my companions who were fighting at that time were doing now.”
Drinking the wine in the cup, Rayleigh filled himself up again, gently turning the wine cup in his hand, and Rayleigh seemed to return to the past.
“In the end, Roger confessed. At the moment of the public execution, I heard that the famous pirates are gathered there, and the Pirate King’s execution is the focus of attention.”
This was the Pirate King Roger. Even at the last juncture of this world, he was still vigorous, walking the legendary life under the eyes of the whole world.
“But I didn’t go” Rayleigh stopped shaking the wine glass, he closed his eyes, and slowly recalled the last scene before Roger left, the last sentence he said to himself.
“I don’t wanna die!”
…
Phew…
After listening to the last sentence of Rayleigh, the people who were full of tension after listening to this story, like the mountains in the heart of Buddha moved away and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just hearing the rough story of Roger from Rayleigh, everyone felt excited. The man who became the Pirate King really wrote a legend in his life.
Like venting, Nami lay in Lin Tian’s arms and sighed, “We seem to have heard a terrible story, but the one who was involved sounded very tragic.”
“It is simply like this Great Sea Voyage was planned by Roger.” Usopp suddenly said, making Lin Tian and Rayleigh’s face change.
To tell the truth, not only Usopp, but even most people would have such thoughts after listening to Roger’s story.
Especially Lin Tian, who had experienced so much on the Grand Line and also understood many secrets, the more he was sure of his conjecture.
Rayleigh finished the wine in his cup in one gulp, “Roger is dead. Only people of this era can create this era. However, the existence of Roger’s will is one of them in this era.”
“Yes, uncle, do you know Shanks?” Luffy stopped eating and asked excitedly.
There was no answer. Rayleigh suddenly asked, “Do you know a pirate named Buggy in the East Blue?”
Nami and Zoro’s faces suddenly changed, and they couldn’t help but recall Baji’s appearance in their minds.
Rayleigh smiled and said, “Buggy and Shanks, these two brats, were fooled by my crew in the past.”
“What? Shanks was fooled by the crew in the Pirate King’s ship?” Luffy covered his mouth and shouted in shock.
At this moment, Robin suddenly stood up and struggled to ask, “Mr. Rayleigh, I want to ask a question. What is the so-called will of D.? I saw the ancient words carved by Roger’s name on the blank island.”
“Do you want to ask about the blank one hundred years?” Before Robin finished speaking, Rayleigh had already guessed what Robin wanted to say and advised, “Little girl, please look for the answer step by step. Maybe Ohara and I are too hasty. Even if I tell you now, you won’t be able to do anything.”
“No!”
Before Rayleigh could finish, Robin closed his eyes and smiled.
Robin shook his head. “My goal has changed. Searching for that blank for a hundred years is no longer my goal. I am only a scholar pursuing history.”
At this point, Robin couldn’t help but look at everyone sitting at the side. Partners and love were already the motivation for Robin to continue living.
Looking at Robin’s gentle gaze, Rayleigh suddenly understood something and revealed a faint smile.
At this moment, Usopp ran out and stopped Rayleigh, asking a question that the entire world was curious about, “That, the unique great treasure, One Piece, is really there…”
“Usopp!” Luffy stood up and loudly stopped Usopp from asking, “I don’t know where the treasure is. I don’t even want to know if there is a treasure or not.”
“Although we don’t know anything, everyone doesn’t go out to sea with their lives on the line. If Uncle reveals the truth, I would rather not be a pirate. I don’t want to take a boring risk.”
“Can you do it?” Rayleigh turned around and suddenly asked, “The dangers of the Grand Line are beyond your imagination. There are also powerful enemies. Can you rule this sea?”
In the face of Rayleigh’s serious inquiry, Luffy suddenly smiled, covered his beloved straw hat, and replied with a smile.
“I don’t want to be ruled. The most free person in this sea is the Pirate King!”
