Chapter 561 - Marineford’s Execution List!
Killing Uehara Naraku…
It would really dirty your hands!
Rayleigh sighed in his heart about the corruption and darkness of the Marine. The more useless the Vice Admiral station in Sabaody Archipelago was, the more pirates would enter the second half of the Grand Line.
“Forget it.”
Rayleigh glanced at Uehara and turned to leave, “Little guy, your 500,000 Beli should be regarded as a buying lesson…”
“Stop!”
Uehara rushed forward and stopped Rayleigh. His face was full of anger from being fooled, “Hey, how dare you tease me… Do you know who I am?”
“I know, I know…”
Rayleigh smiled and nodded as if he was comforting an ignorant child. He smiled and continued, “The commander-in-charge of Sabaody Marine Base, Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku… Who on the island doesn’t know you?”
“Since you know that I am a Vice Admiral…”
Uehara clenched his fist and looked at Rayleigh. He smiled and threatened, “Do you know the consequences of offending me in Sabaody Archipelago? I am different from Onigumo! If you dare to offend me, I will throw you into Impel Down right now!”
While saying this…
Uehara actually felt a little strange in his heart.
This long-lost desire to act was really nostalgic!
However, this world did not need him to perform for a long time. Moreover, Uehara’s script had already been taken away by his own subordinates…
Unfortunately…
Rayleigh was not very tactful.
“Is your horizons so narrow?”
Rayleigh reached out and patted Uehara’s shoulder. He continued with a smile, “Little guy, do you know who I am?”
This Vice Admiral…
He really has no brain!
And as a Vice Admiral, he doesn’t even know him, the Pirate King Vice Captain, this is too unqualified… These young Marines, sometimes, should really be educated.
He really can’t figure out how such a young and stupid guy became a Vice Admiral, and he can actually be in the same rank as Garp…
Garp was someone who could force their Roger Pirates into a desperate situation. But this Vice Admiral has been caught twice, and he still has the nerve to show off his identity as Vice Admiral…
“No matter who you are…”
Uehara pushed away Rayleigh’s palm and said in a deep voice, “In this world, there are not many people I can’t afford to offend, but I know that you are definitely not among them!”
When he said this, Uehara waved his fist angrily and was about to punch him!
“Aren’t you being too impulsive?”
Rayleigh smiled and shook his head. He reached out to hold Uehara’s fist and a light flashed in the old man’s eyes. He smiled and said, “I earned five hundred thousand today. I’m in a good mood…”
In addition to earning 500,000 Beli…
There was also the fun of teasing a Vice Admiral.
It was too interesting to bully a small marine like this!
Rayleigh slowly twisted Uehara’s arm and looked at the shocked Uehara. He smiled and continued, “Today is not the right time to fight. I should go and have a good drink not to waste my good mood…”
In the next moment, Rayleigh’s smile became deeper and deeper. He suddenly released Uehara’s fist, and a burst of Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) was instantly released from his body!
Under his control, the Haki’s impact directly hit Uehara!
This legendary vice-captain could completely control his Haki. Under the frontal impact of this Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki), it was definitely not something ordinary people could resist!
Rayleigh looked at the idiot Vice Admiral in front of him who was knocked out by his Haki. He couldn’t help but chuckle and shook his head. He then sighed, “Really… How can such a Vice Admiral protect us commoners who live in Sabaody?”
After that, Rayleigh squatted down and rummaged through Uehara’s wallet. He slowly nodded, “Oh, is he a poor guy? He only has tens of thousands of Beli on him… Did this little guy use all his money to buy me?”
Although he looked down on this little Beli…
But Rayleigh still put the money into his pocket.
Rayleigh nodded with satisfaction, touched his chin, and left by himself. When he left, Rayleigh was still muttering, “After earning such a large sum of money today, it should be able to buy a bottle of rum from Shakky, right? A bottle of rum sells for 500,000 Bailey. It really is a rip-off bar…”
Since Rayleigh retired, he had been staying in Sabaody Archipelago. And Shakky, this old friend of his, had been accompanying him.
Moreover, Rayleigh wanted to go to Shakky’s Rip-off Bar not to drink.
It was just to share today’s interesting little story.
After Rayleigh left, Uehara slowly opened his eyes. A Den Den Mushi appeared out of thin air and he dialed Kabuto’s number.
Kabuto seemed to be free. He didn’t hide the way he addressed Uehara, “Naraku-sama, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Yes, there is one…”
Uehara stood up, rubbed the space between his eyebrows, and asked, “I want to add one more person to the execution list… Do you think it is appropriate?”
“Naraku-sama is really joking!”
In the Den Den Mushi, Kabuto smiled, and his voice suddenly became solemn, “Who should I add? I will deal with this matter immediately! It should be the vice-captain of Roger Pirates, Rayleigh, right? I will immediately send someone to arrest him!”
“It’s not him.”
Uehara hooked the corner of his mouth and said with a happy face, “Just a minute ago, Rayleigh robbed me of a lot of money and played with me, a Vice Admiral, but it’s just a small matter. Isn’t it too harsh to send this old man to the execution platform? Kabuto, you have to change your character!”
“Yes…”
Kabuto, who was in the Den Den Mushi, agreed respectfully.
“Alright.”
Uehara slowly turned to look at Sabaody Archipelago’s Grove 13. It was where Shakky’s Rip-off Bar was located. The smile on his face became more and more subtle, “The person who is going to be executed is a bar owner who likes to extort money. I will catch him personally. You just need to send someone to take her away.”
“… bar owner?”
Kabuto, who was in the Den Den Mushi, hesitated for a second and immediately thought of someone. He couldn’t help but say, “I will arrange this immediately. Borsalino just happens to be free. Let him rush over and bring the person back!”
If it was an ordinary person escorting Shakky…
Maybe Rayleigh could take her away.
But, if it was an Admiral, Rayleigh could do nothing but watch as she was taken away.
This was also a foolproof plan.
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 13.
Shakky’s Rip-off Bar.
Rayleigh sat opposite Shakky and paid for a bottle of rum. He smiled and talked about what happened today, mentioning the idiot Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku.
“I really didn’t expect…”
After talking about what happened today, Rayleigh reached out and took the bottle in front of Shakky. He slowly drank the rum in the bottle and continued with a smile, “With such a Vice Admiral here, it seems that the future will be very interesting…”
“Don’t go overboard.”
Shakky lit a cigarette and blew a smoke ring. She frowned and said, “You are not young anymore. If the marine notices you again, your days will not be good…”
“Ha…”
Rayleigh poured himself a glass of rum and shook his head with a smile, “The Marine will notice it sooner or later. Moreover, I will not be absent from that upcoming war…”
Originally, Rayleigh wanted to save Crocus and help him save Ace along the way. But now he was going to help the Red Hair Pirates rescue Shanks.
This war was destined to be inevitable.
Once Rayleigh joined the war, the World Government and the Marine would not ignore him, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates!
“Forget it, you can do whatever you want!”
Shakky shook her head and stretched out her palm toward Rayleigh, “But before you go, give me your Vivre Card…”
“… Okay.”
Rayleigh nodded slowly.
Vivre Card was a special item of the Grand Line. It represents the vitality of the Vivre Card owner and can let the people in the distance know their condition immediately.
Generally…
It will only be handed to the relatives.
If the Vivre Card was intact, it means that the Vivre Card owner was still alive and well, which could make the family feel relieved.
If the Vivre Card was damaged or shrunk, then it means that the owner was injured. If the Vivre Card turned into ashes, then it means that the owner’s life was exhausted…
This war was too dangerous.
The strength of the World Government and the Marine was not the same as before.
Even Rayleigh occasionally observed the Admiral who came to Sabaody to patrol. The strength of the Three Admirals was definitely getting stronger and stronger!
In the past few years, many big pirates who were hidden have all been sent to prison by the Three Admirals!
In addition to the Three Admirals who have become stronger, there were also powerful guys in the Shichibukai, and the behemoth CP organization under Kabuto’s command!
This spy organization…
It almost became the nightmare of the entire sea!
Especially when the CP department defeated the Red Hair Pirates, this also meant that this spy organization already had the combat power of the Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group.
Even if other super experts like Rayleigh want to participate in this war, it was hard to say that no accident will happen…
This point…
Whether it was Rayleigh or Shakky, both of them know it very clearly.
The atmosphere in the bar suddenly became a little oppressive. After drinking a bottle of rum, Rayleigh took out his Vivre Card and handed it to Shakky, then began to leave Shakky’s bar.
Rayleigh held his glasses, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, “Forget it, I’ll go tease that Vice Admiral and make myself happy!”
“…”
Shakky shook her head speechlessly.
Just as Rayleigh left Shakky’s bar, a figure wearing a marine uniform walked in. He said with a face full of arrogance, “I received a report that this store is suspected of extortion. If you don’t want to come with me, then give me ten million Beli!”
It was Sabaody Archipelago’s Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku.
“…”
Shakky frowned and extinguished the cigarette in her hand. She looked at Uehara, who had entered the bar and asked for money from her, and her expression became strange.
This Vice Admiral, who had just been played by Rayleigh…
Does he want to extort money from her?
