Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

The pain from the broken right hand stimulated the muscular man's nerves, and he kept begging Steele.

But Steele didn't even look at him, instead he kicked him in the chest.

Boom...the sound of falling into the water was heard.

Everyone came back to their senses from the scene just now and looked at the cold and powerful man in front of them in awe.

"Who is the captain of your ship?"

A cold voice came out of Steele's mouth, and soon a panicked man dressed as a businessman came out.

"Sir, I am a captain under the Giant Shark Merchant Guild. May I ask how I can help you?"

"My boat is broken down. Please take me to the Kingdom of Columbia."

After Steele stated his request expressionlessly, the businessman wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little embarrassed.

"Sir, we will not pass through the Kingdom of Columbia on this trip."

"Why are you talking so much? It is your honor to work for the World Government. Are you going to disobey my orders?"

Steele's voice became colder and colder. He could not accept that a character who was a pariah in his eyes dared to try to bargain.

The businessman heard the murderous intent in Steele's voice and no longer cared about making money.

You can make money at any time, but if you lose your life, you won’t have a second one.

With the sailors' loud shouts, the anchor was pulled up, the sails were spread out, and they headed towards the distant Kingdom of Colombia.

Steele stood on the deck, looking at the deserted sea in the distance.

"This game of cat and mouse has just begun, Bellmaire."

"Rawley, what are you doing?"

Having just finished training, Gion and others, sweating, walked into Raleigh's office.

I saw that Rowley, who usually lay on the sofa, was now reading a book attentively at his desk.

Gion and the others were all surprised. It was very rare to see Raleigh reading a book.

Belo Betty, who was originally exhausted and out of breath, saw his master's appearance. He didn't even bother to lie on the sofa to rest, but ran to Rory in a hurry.

With his heels raised and his hands on the edge of the desk, he tried to read with Rowley.

Rowley looked at the little head that emerged from his arms, touched it gently, then picked up Bello Betty and held him on his lap.

"It's rare to see you reading a book, or what kind of book you read."

Gion and Kake had no interest in coming over, and instead lay comfortably on the sofa ready to take a rest.

Miles went to boil a pot of hot water and prepared to make a few cups of tea.

"Some very interesting rumors about the North Sea were compiled by writers from the North Sea. Most of the rumors that have happened in the North Sea over the past few hundred years are recorded in them."

“If you want to understand the North Sea, you can use this information to check it. Then, through continuous field verification, you can deepen your understanding of the North Sea.”

Raleigh explained to Gion seriously.

Belo Betty, who was sitting on his lap, pointed to the text above and asked:

"Master, what is this?"

Luo Li took a glance, smiled, touched Bello Betty's head and said:

"This is a story about a liar and a golden country."

Chapter 58: News about Doflamingo (Please read it later)

"Is it the story of that big talker Nolando?"

Gion sat upright on the sofa, holding a crystal clear grape and putting it into his mouth.

After hearing what Rowley said, he spoke slowly while chewing grapes.

When Kaji heard this name, it seemed very familiar.

It's just that my mouth is full of food and I want to speak but I can't.

Raleigh took over Gion's words and said:

"Yes, this story is most widely circulated in the North Sea."

"It is said that four hundred years ago, there was a traveler in the North Sea named Mont Blanc Noland. He once recorded a place full of gold during his travels, which he called the Golden Country."

The existence of the Golden Country stimulated many treasure-seeking adventurers, and they set out to sea in search of this place.

Even the king of a kingdom in the North Sea at that time was very interested in this, so he contacted Nolando.

He was promised a large sum of money and a kingdom medal as a reward for finding the Golden Country.

However, when Nolando set out again with the king's army, he did not find the so-called golden land at all.

Even the islands that should have existed on the nautical chart recorded by Nolando had disappeared.

The army commanders and the king couldn't help but suspect that Nolando had fabricated the scam of the Golden City in order to become famous.

The angry king felt that he had been deceived, so he ordered Nolando to be executed in the capital.

This incident was later made into a fairy tale for Beihai children to read and entertain.

In this fairy tale, Nolando, who was originally full of adventurous spirit, turned into a stupid liar who firmly believed that the Golden Country really existed.

After Rowley finished telling the story, Belo Betty raised his little head and blinked his big watery eyes curiously and said:

"Master, does the Golden Country really exist?"

"Of course it doesn't exist. The navy had heard of this rumor before and later organized a group of forces to try to find it, but they couldn't find any trace either."

After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Kaji spoke hurriedly.

These secret anecdotes were often discussed at the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy also tried to find confidential information about the matter.

But this is nothing new. People tried it two or three hundred years ago.

Until now, there are still people who believe that the Golden City exists, but it is just in some unknown corner.

But Raleigh knew about this.

The Golden Country is not an illusory story, but was recorded by Noland before it was washed into the sky by the rising ocean current.

The reason why later generations have not discovered it is because the outbreak timing of the upwelling current is very irregular.

There may be successive outbreaks in a short period of time, or there may not be an outbreak for years or even decades.

Moreover, adventurers and pirates who were unaware of such spectacles could only watch from afar. They could never imagine that they would be rushed into the sky with such powerful ocean currents.

They didn’t even know that the golden land they were looking for was actually hanging right above their heads.

Raleigh didn't have anything to say.

He didn't want to reveal the location of the Golden Country before he found out how to get there.

What if he is mistaken for the second Nolando?

Raleigh has been in the Navy for so many years, and although he has a lazy personality, he still has a very good reputation.

He doesn't want to ruin such a good reputation.

"When I was a kid, I also wondered where the Golden Country would be if it really existed."

"This sea is full of unknowns. Maybe the Golden Country has always been in the North Sea, but no one has discovered it."

Gion placed the teacup elegantly on the table and said with emotion.

Raleigh didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to find the Golden Country.

You know, there is a devil fruit there that is not inferior to his elder brother Borsalino's Sparkling Fruit.

Natural system - Thunder Fruit!

However, Enelu is still a little kid now.

He was not worried that the Thunder Fruit would be eaten by Eneel. Even if he was eaten, he could still train Eneel into a navy.

Anyway, it’s not a loss.

"report!"

There was a knock on the door and a messenger spoke loudly.

"Come in."

Raleigh sat up straight, and Belo Betty climbed down from his lap and went to find Gion to eat some fruit.

"Admiral, there is a piece of information that needs your review."

The messenger held a report signed by Borsalino.

"Oh, Borsalino actually sent me a piece of information."

"He actually took the initiative to assign me tasks. That's interesting. Let's put it down."

Raleigh took the intelligence, placed it on the table and opened it.

"The New Force of the North Sea Mafia - Don Quixote Family"

Seeing the title, Raleigh raised his eyebrows.

When he came to the North Sea, Raleigh actually thought of Doflamingo.

This guy made his fortune in Beihai, but his exact location has never been found.

Moreover, Raleigh was rather lazy and he felt that it was pointless to go looking for traces of Don Quixote's family.

It would be better to let Doflamingo make a name for himself as Don Quixote, and then it would be easier to look for him.

After all, that guy is no pushover, possessing the domineering aura that makes him worthy of being called a king and being a former Celestial Dragon.

And I don't remember that guy having any setbacks in the early days of his business.

In addition to his brother being adopted by Zhan Guo, going undercover in the Don Quixote family was considered a stab in the back.

When Gion and Kake saw the information being sent to them, they were also eager to see it.

But they are also soldiers, so they naturally know the rules.

If Raleigh didn't call them, they could only sit on the sofa and watch Raleigh flipping through the information.

The intelligence was short and Raleigh finished reading it quickly.

Just as Raleigh expected, Doflamingo, who possessed the Devil Fruit and the Conqueror's Haki, almost crushed the Mafia.

Within a month of appearing in the North Sea, Don Quixote had expanded to more than a hundred people and occupied two islands as its territory.

Although he lost his identity as a Celestial Dragon, his blood was still in his body.

Although the World Government will not take the initiative to help him, it will not allow anyone to arrest him.

Therefore, the navy has not yet cracked down on this newly emerged mafia force.

When Borsalino delivered the information, he also circled the former Celestial Dragon's identity.

He knew that Raleigh was a smart man and could understand what he meant.

But unfortunately, he knew that Raleigh could understand what he meant, but he didn't know how Raleigh would react.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Raleigh's reaction made everyone in the room feel that something was wrong.

"I've finally seen you, Doflamingo."

A strange name came out of Raleigh's mouth, but Gion and Kake Soku couldn't figure out who the owner of this name was.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, Doflamingo’s circle is completely different from the ones they usually interact with.

Besides, no one would care about a little boy who had just killed his father until he achieved something.

Even though he was once a noble celestial dragon.
