Pirates: Building a Pirate Family

Rayley held the reward order tightly in his hand, staring at the portraits and words on it with concentration.

He asked without raising his head, "Do you know who is above?"

His tone was so dull that it seemed as if he was just asking casually, but those who knew him knew that he must have begun to think about various possibilities in his mind at this moment.

Xia Qi, who was standing aside, curled her lips. She had long been accustomed to Rayley's behavior of asking questions without even looking at her.

But that's good, at least his attention was attracted by other things, so he didn't have to worry that he could not extricate himself from the sad memories of the past.

When Xia Qi thought of the group of energetic young girls she saw this morning, she relaxed a little.

They were filled with youth and vitality, which made Xia Qi recall the time full of passion and adventure.

At this time, Xia Qi turned her gaze to Rayleigh, with a confident smile on her face. She said proudly: "That person is indeed quite mysterious, but no one can hide the news that I want to inquire about. ! ”

She looked at Reilly expectantly, hoping to hear a few words of praise from him.

However, disappointingly, since Shanks' death, Reilly has become a whole person, becoming taciturn and seemingly lost interest in everything around him.

Seeing that Rayley had no reaction, Xia Qi couldn't help but stomp her feet in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and continued, "It's the Blackbeard Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates who killed the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates. Bearded Tichi!”

When she said this, a hint of disgust appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.

When Rayley heard this, his brows frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked in confusion: "Why? Didn't that boy Luffy just embark on a trip to sea? Logically speaking, he shouldn't have the chance to provoke evil people like Blackbeard Titch!"

Facing Rayley's question, Xia Qi spread her hands helplessly, shook her head and replied, "I don't know the reason..."

Rayley frowned slightly, gently tapping his palm with his index knuckle, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

He whispered, "This is really a difficult problem. The guy with the black beard is definitely not an ordinary person. This young guy who has just gone to sea and was targeted by such a difficult character. I really don't know. Will he be able to escape this disaster successfully!”

The thought of Blackbeard, a feeling of worry surged in Reilly's heart.

Compared to Blackbeard, Clockdal is simply a slight witch.

Reilly is very familiar with Clockdal, after all, the thrilling battle four years ago is still vivid in my mind.

At that time, Clockdal was beaten up by Barrett. Since then, he has been like a deflated ball, as if he has lost all his fighting spirit and courage at once.

The once arrogant Clockdal became depressed and depressed. In Alabastan, he actually began to play the so-called heroic role.

People have speculated that perhaps that crushing defeat caused Clockdal to suffer a heavy blow, which has completely lost his former enterprising spirit.

Moreover, because Clockdal had many enemies before, many enemies who had offended him seized this opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to avenge him.

However, they never dared to act rashly because they were afraid of the powerful Bucky Pirates behind Clockdal.

Even after the serious incident of Clockdal was exposed to attempting to overthrow the Kingdom of Alabastan, countless franchisees strongly demanded severe punishment of Clockdal, but in the end they were stopped by the Bucky Pirates.

King Cobra even called the Five Old Stars in person, hoping to use the power of the world government to sanction Clockdal, but the result was still useless.

After careful consideration, the Five Old Stars are currently active in the vast sea of ​​the New World.

This is a crucial buffer area between the Red Clay Continent and the Rockefeller Kingdom.

After repeated weighing, they finally decided to return Clockdal to the Bucky Pirates and did not take any substantial punishment for it.

In this way, Clockdal, who should have been imprisoned in the advancement city, was able to regain his freedom and was not subject to the detention and punishment he deserved.

At this moment, in a corner, Rayley took the wine glass leisurely and took a sip of the wine.

"Forget it. If you can't overcome such a small difficulty, what's the right to pursue the throne of One Piece!"

Hearing these words, Xia Qi on the side couldn't help but look surprised and asked curiously: "Oh? Don't you plan to intervene in this matter in person?"

Rayley shook his head slightly, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and replied with a serious expression: "Let's take a look first, and then make a fool of yourself when he can really stand in front of me. After all, this world is full of countless I can’t stand up every time I encounter trouble!”

After saying that, Rayley paused for a moment, staring deep into the distance.

"But this kid seems to have disappeared without a trace since he appeared on Gaya Island, as if he had evaporated from the world. I couldn't even catch Luffy's trace in that piece of intelligence network!"

Xia Qi frowned, and a hint of doubt and worry appeared on her face.

Hearing this, Rayley was slightly stunned at first, but then a light flashed in his deep eyes, as if he had thought of some important clue.

The corners of his mouth were gently raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Empty Island!"

Rayley murmured the word in a low voice, as if he had already seen everything.

At the same moment, a scream of horror came from the empty island, ten thousand meters away from the ground.

"Where is the gold that was agreed upon? Why is it empty here!"

Nami widened her eyes, staring at the empty and ashes-covered ruins in front of her with a terrifying face, covering her cheeks with her hands tightly, unable to believe what she saw.

And just at this moment, Gan Fore walked slowly.

He shrugged helplessly and said with a relaxed look: "Twenty-four years ago, a guy named Rockefeller Pirates came here and swept the whole city without mercy!"

After saying that, he shook his head gently, obviously not taking the stolen gold to heart.

However, as soon as Gan Fore finished speaking, a slightly dark-skinned woman in the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't help but speak in surprise.
