Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 248 The Navy Deploys, and the Bear Comes Knocking

Marineford.

In the marshal's office, Sengoku, who was busy with his work, suddenly received a phone call, and his expression changed abruptly.

"What did you say?! A Celestial Dragon was attacked on Sabaody Archipelago?! Their fate is unknown?!"

The Warring States period was shocked, caught off guard by this unexpected and earth-shattering news.

My mind is a little blank.

Attack the Celestial Dragons?

Are you crazy?! Who would have the guts to do something like this?!

This kind of thing has never happened during his tenure. Who on earth is so audacious as to dare to openly attack a Celestial Dragon in such a place!

Before he could ask any further questions, a report came from the other end: the criminal who attacked the Celestial Dragons was Son Goku, who had a bounty of 3.5 million Berries, and his companions were also present.

This intelligence was provided by the escaped escorts.

For these well-informed people, how could they not recognize Sun Wukong, who had recently become famous for his high bounty?

It was precisely because they recognized the location that they immediately fled the scene, hoping to provide this information to the Navy so that they wouldn't be included in the Celestial Dragons' kill list afterward simply because they were present at the scene.

During the Warring States period, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He never imagined that Goku and his crew, who had disappeared from their navy's sight for days, would reappear in the Sabaody Archipelago without anyone noticing.

It's one thing to just show up, but they even attacked the Celestial Dragons! Don't they know the meaning of death?

"Doberman is guarding that spot now, right? Order him to move out immediately! He must rescue the Celestial Dragons who were attacked and bring the culprits to justice!"

"Reporting to Master Sengoku! Lieutenant General Doberman has already led his team out, but he's quite far from the scene. I've sent Major General Barry, who's closest, to the location!"

"Okay, report back to me immediately if there are any updates!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat tired.

Garp, Garp, is this the junior you've chosen? The storm hasn't even died down from the attack on the World Government's ships, and now you've gone and dared to attack the Celestial Dragons again, acting like you want nothing more than chaos in the world.

How could someone who completely disregards the authority of the World Government and is extremely unstable possibly join the Navy, let alone become an outstanding naval officer?

My old friend, this time you've definitely misjudged me.

Sengoku's mind was in turmoil, and he paused the matters he was dealing with, preparing to wait for the next phone call.

Since it concerned the lives of the Celestial Dragons, even he had to be on tenterhooks.

If the Celestial Dragons are still alive and the criminals are successfully captured, then the situation can still be controlled.

If it were the opposite, then it would truly be a complete disaster.

A dozen minutes later, the phone rang again. He answered immediately, maintaining a calm tone, and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Reporting to Marshal Sengoku, all the prisoners have escaped. Lieutenant General Doberman is searching for them."

"What's going on! Didn't Barry stop them?! And what about the Celestial Dragons who were attacked?!" Sengoku's eyes twitched, and he asked sharply.

"The Celestial Dragon is in critical condition and is being taken to the hospital for treatment."

"As for Bar, Major General Barry and the others..." The officer reporting from the other side said in a low, muffled voice.

"They were completely wiped out."

Snapped.

After hanging up the phone, Sengoku's face was very gloomy.

The Celestial Dragon was sent to the hospital and his life hangs in the balance. The criminal escaped from the scene and his whereabouts are currently unknown. This is truly an extremely bad development.

Furthermore, hundreds of elite marines fell into a coma in a very short time, yet they had no injuries whatsoever. Could it be Conqueror's Haki?

Has that little guy Sun Wukong already awakened such kingly potential?

He felt the situation was serious. Under these circumstances, it was no longer something that a lieutenant general could quell; a general had to be deployed!

Who is the right general for this operation?

His first thought was Kizaru, the fastest of them all.

But before he could even make the call, he thought of someone else who seemed to be able to get there even faster.

Without further hesitation, he dialed the number.

"Hey, Sakazuki, where are you now?"

On the Sabaody Archipelago, a group of more than twenty people, led by Rayleigh, were speeding along a relatively secluded road in bubble cars.

Previously, after Rayleigh displayed his Conqueror's Haki and stunned all the attacking Marines, only a very few people, such as Goku and Sanji, felt that invisible but powerful force.

Goku showed great surprise and interest in the power Rayleigh displayed, while Nami and the others who only understood what had happened after it was explained were quite shocked.

Under these circumstances, no one questioned Rayleigh's good intentions anymore, and they accepted his suggestion, fleeing to a safe place under his guidance.

It's worth mentioning that Bonney's Pirates and Goku's group each sent one person to the ship's location to inform their crewmates about what had happened on the island and to steer the ship to a relatively secluded area to reduce the risk of being discovered by the Navy.

Rayleigh told Goku that they could sail the Dream Chaser to Android 34, which was a good place to hide.

Goku and his crew ultimately sent out Popo, mainly because if Popo and Brook were exposed during their journey and surrounded by the Navy, Popo's abilities would give them a good chance of escaping through the sea with Brook. (Note: Brook, being made of bones, seems to not need to breathe and therefore wouldn't drown.)

"Alright, this place is relatively safe. We need to split up now, otherwise we'll be too conspicuous."

When they reached a deserted place, Lei Li stopped first and spoke to the person behind him.

Their group of more than twenty people traveling together was too conspicuous, and they had to split up to avoid being caught by the navy.

"Wukong, then we shall part ways here. I will remember that promise."

Bonney nodded to Goku and Nami, then led her pirate crew away.

After them, the slaves rescued by Wukong exchanged glances, then nodded solemnly to him: "Our great benefactor! If you ever need us in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us. No matter what it is, we will help you without hesitation!"

After saying that, they respectfully handed Goku the small note they had received from Nami, which contained instructions on how to contact them.

"I understand. You must be careful from now on." Wukong sensed their good intentions, carefully accepted the note, and nodded.

Soon, the rescued slaves left in another direction, with only Sirida remaining in the group. He claimed to be a doctor and needed to ensure the wounded were safe along the way and to perform surgery on them once they reached a safe place.

Rayleigh agreed. Although Shakky was a very skilled doctor, it was good to have a professional doctor handle the situation, at least so that Shakky wouldn't be too busy.

So Rayleigh, along with Goku, Nami, Sanji, Robin, Silida, and the injured man who had fallen into a coma, set off again.

We avoided bustling towns and traveled only along the sparsely populated side streets.

They encountered several naval squads searching along the way, but they successfully bypassed them each time, without alerting the navy to anything amiss.

And so, about twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at Island 13, a lawless zone not under the jurisdiction of the Navy, and where Rayleigh lived.

"Shawn's Bargain-Hunting Tavern?"

When Rayleigh led them to a tavern, Nami looked up at the tavern sign and read the words on it aloud.

"Come in, it's relatively safe here for now."

As Rayleigh spoke, he pushed open the tavern door.

"I'm back, Shaki."

The tavern was deserted at the moment, with only a woman with short black hair sitting at the bar, leaning against it and lazily smoking.

"Hey, it's only been less than a week, and Master Lei is already back."

A languid and sexy mature woman's voice rang out.

Shakky turned around and teased Rayleigh as he entered through the door.

Then, she noticed that there were quite a few people following behind Rayleigh, so she raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Oh, did you bring guests?"

Goku and the others followed Rayleigh into the tavern, curiously looking around at everything.

Xilida, carrying the wounded patient, stepped forward, his face filled with anxiety, and said, "Please prepare a quiet room for the surgery, along with all the necessary sterilized surgical instruments. The patient is dying!"

He could feel that the patient on his back was breathing very weakly and would die if he wasn't treated soon.

"What's going on?" Shakky put away her nonchalant expression and looked at Rayleigh inquiringly.

"It's a long story. Just listen to him and make the arrangements for him." Rayleigh nodded to her.

Having known each other for decades, the two had developed a tacit understanding. Xia Qi didn't say anything more and said to Xilida, "Come with me."

Then she pushed open a door, and Xilida, carrying the wounded, followed her inside.

The tavern fell silent immediately.

Rayleigh walked into the bar, skillfully took out a bottle of wine and a glass from a corner, poured himself half a glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"I imagine you all have quite a few questions right now. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Rayleigh." After putting down his wine glass, Rayleigh glanced at Goku and the other three and smiled slightly.

"Grandpa Rayleigh, my name is Son Goku!" Goku replied with a grin.

"I know you, little guy, you've become quite famous lately," Rayleigh said with a smile.

"Famous?" Wukong was immediately puzzled.

"Of course, since this is your first time being wanted, and the bounty is higher than that of all the pirates in the park, it has caused a lot of discussion about you."

Wukong blinked, even more confused: "A bounty?"

"Yeah, don't you know that you and your companions are already on the wanted list?" Rayleigh asked, somewhat surprised.

Goku and Nami were stunned, because they really didn't know that they had a bounty on their heads.

"Please wait a moment."

Seeing their reaction, Rayleigh immediately understood what was going on. He fumbled around under the bar and pulled out a stack of bounty posters.

"Here you are, take a look, this is your bounty poster."

Nami reached out and took the bounty poster from Rayleigh, glanced at it, and her pupils widened in shock.

"Three, three hundred and fifty million Berries?!?"

With a scream, Sanji and Robin rushed over, while Goku jumped onto the nearby table and craned his neck to get closer.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the first wanted poster had an extremely high bounty, and the person it was asking for was none other than Wukong!

"Wukong has such a large bounty on his head!"

Sanji looked surprised, but then he thought about it and it made sense. After all, the amount of the bounty usually represents the strength of the person being bountyd. Goku is so powerful that a bounty of 3.5 million is not unreasonable.

Wukong scratched his head, not quite understanding what the number meant, and didn't feel anything about having a bounty of 3.5 million on his head.

Nami quickly flipped to the next wanted poster, which was for Sanji. Although his bounty was much lower than Goku's, it was still 95 million, which was a very high number.

Sanji was satisfied with this.

Next up was Robin's 80 million, Nami's 12 million, and Pupu's 15 million.

When Nami saw that her bounty ranking was at the bottom, even lower than Pupu's, she pouted unhappily: "Hmph! Am I really worth that much? The guy who issued the bounty must be blind!"

Although they were slightly surprised to learn that everyone was on the wanted list, they didn't react much after a brief moment of surprise.

After all, they had expected this to happen, and besides, they had just beaten up a Celestial Dragon and rescued a slave. Compared to this, putting a bounty on their head was really insignificant.

There's something that's bothering me.

After putting aside the matter of the bounty, Nami looked at Rayleigh with a serious expression: "You said your name was Rayleigh, right? I'm very familiar with that name. The former Pirate King's right-hand man was named Rayleigh. I wonder if you and he..."

"6

She didn't continue speaking, but the meaning was obvious.

The Rayleigh in front of her was an old man, whose age matched that of the legendary figure, and who had previously displayed such great power, making it hard not to associate him with the person she was talking about.

Sanji and Robin's expressions also turned serious; clearly, they had both heard of Rayleigh.

Could this old man I unexpectedly met really be that person?

Faced with their probing gazes, Rayleigh smiled and readily admitted, "That's right, I am the Rayleigh you're talking about, Silvers Rayleigh."

This time he gave his full name.

Nami and the other two immediately narrowed their eyes, their hearts filled with turmoil.

It really was him!

Shouldn't he have died with the destruction of the Roger Pirates? Why is he here?

Wukong was the only one who didn't react, because he had no idea what the Pirate King was, and therefore didn't know what the Pirate King's right-hand man represented.

Seeing that Nami and the others didn't speak again, he asked Rayleigh, "Hey, Grandpa Rayleigh, what was that power you had before?"

Why did they faint?

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he hadn't had the chance before due to time constraints.

"That's Conqueror's Haki," Rayleigh replied.

"Conqueror's Haki? So that's Conqueror's Haki?!" Goku was stunned at first, then he remembered what Garp had told him, and suddenly realized.

He had been learning Armament Haki for a long time, and he was working hard to learn Observation Haki. However, he had never understood what Conqueror's Haki was until today.

"That's right. Conqueror's Haki is a kind of mental power that can intimidate others. People with weak willpower can even be knocked unconscious. Those Marines before fainted because they lacked willpower," Rayleigh explained.

"Then, how am I supposed to learn it?" Goku asked Rayleigh with bright, expectant eyes.

If he could learn this, he wouldn't have to deal with the trouble of taking down a large number of enemies one by one when he was surrounded by them. He could just stun them and be done with it. It couldn't be more convenient!

But Rayleigh shook his head: "Conqueror's Haki cannot be learned, and not everyone can possess it. Only those who have the aptitude for it have a certain chance of awakening it. Before awakening, you cannot sense its existence."

Wukong frowned immediately: "Can't I study? How could this be?"

But soon, he shook his head and said seriously, "No matter what, I'm going to try. I refuse to believe I can't learn it."

Seeing his determined and resolute expression, Rayleigh simply smiled and said nothing more.

This little guy is causing such a commotion on the high seas at such a young age, and even dared to attack a Celestial Dragon. There's a high chance he possesses the potential for Conqueror's Haki.

It's just that it hasn't awakened to it yet.

In the following time, Nami and the other two, having accepted the fact that Rayleigh was the same Rayleigh, began to communicate with Rayleigh again, while Goku sat cross-legged to the side, frowning as he pondered how to learn Conqueror's Haki.

Twenty minutes later, Xia Qi returned and said that the injured person had been successfully saved with the combined efforts of her and Xilida, and that Xilida was now treating the remaining minor wounds.

Wukong and his friends were genuinely happy to hear the news.

It's good that the person was rescued; at least their previous efforts weren't in vain.

Shakky finally understood what had happened and praised Goku for beating up the Celestial Dragon and saving the slave. She was also curious about why they had been wanted by the bounty on their heads.

When she learned that Goku was fighting against the World Government to rescue his comrades, she grew even more fond of him, jokingly saying that it would be great if Goku were her son, which made Rayleigh laugh awkwardly beside her.

"Alright, time is running out. It will take three days to coat your boat with the film, so I have to set off immediately."

Rayleigh glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up and said.

"The navy may very well send in a general to capture you, and they may even be on the island by now, so you must hold out for three days without being caught."

"What?! The coating will take three days!?" Nami and the others were shocked. It really would take that long.

"That's right, this is the absolute limit. The coating is crucial to the safety of the entire ship. If it's not done carefully enough, it could result in fatalities," Rayleigh replied.

Just then, a sharp glint flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes as he looked toward the tavern door: "An uninvited guest has arrived."

Not long after he finished speaking, the tavern door was pushed open.

But the sunlight outside didn't shine in, because it was all blocked by a huge figure outside the door.

"Mr. Raleigh, I never expected to meet such a legendary figure as you here."

The bear's gaze fell on Rayleigh, and his stern voice echoed throughout the tavern.

"What is your purpose in coming here, Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma?"

Rayleigh's calm voice then rang out.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire tavern froze.
