Chapter 772 Rayleigh in Action

Chapter 772 Rayleigh in Action

After Vic arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he went straight to the Rip-Off Bar. He cast illusions all the way so that no one knew he was here.

He also saw many familiar faces along the way, all of whom were supernovas of the same period as Luffy. Kidd, Killer, Law, Hawkins, Urouge, and Capone had all appeared. Victor knew that Luffy was not far away.

Victor was wondering whether to let Luffy fight off the Celestial Dragon and lure Kizaru like in the original story? Or should he just kill the Celestial Dragon and let the Straw Hat Pirates escape this disaster?

"Ms. Xia Qi! Give me a drink. Why is the bar so quiet today? I think the island is quite lively. There are many new people here. Aren't there any fools who come here to drink? By the way, where is Mr. Rayleigh? I have something to talk to him about."

After much thought, Victor decided not to help Luffy and the others escape disaster. With their current strength, it is not the time for them to participate in the New World. They still need to stop and rest and improve themselves.

And it's not just Luffy who needs improvement, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates needs improvement, so Victor wants to ask Rayleigh to help guide Luffy's subsequent training.

He certainly doesn't have time to waste on Luffy. Rebecca and the others need to be comprehensively improved, and the Revolutionary Army also needs to continue to grow. All of these cannot be separated from Vic.

On the contrary, Rayleigh, a half-retired old man who has seen the world and knows everything, is suitable for this task. In the original work, it was he who taught Luffy, and he is the protagonist's master appointed by Oda, so there will definitely be no problem.

If Luffy wants to fully accept Rayleigh's teachings, he must see Rayleigh's strength and receive a great favor from Rayleigh. So when Luffy summoned Kizaru and was in extreme despair, Rayleigh needed to take action to stop Kizaru. Then Luffy would have both favor and strength at the same time, and it would be natural for him to accept teachings later.

Originally, even if Victor hadn't said it, Rayleigh would have taken action, but now the plot has changed. Rayleigh already knows Ace's life experience. It's hard to say whether Rayleigh will still care so much about Luffy.

So Vic still has to come and say hello as a precaution. If Rayleigh really doesn't want to take action, then he will have to take over!

Whether it is to resist Kizaru or teach Luffy, let Luffy and Rebecca enter the illusion to practice together. That's why Wick asked Shaki when he didn't see Rayleigh in the bar.

"Don't you know? Ace was captured by Blackbeard and has now been imprisoned in Impel Down. After Lao Lei learned the news, he has been trying to contact the old men in Roger's Pirates. He wants to rescue Ace!"

Xia Qi also heard about Ace's life experience at that time and knew that Rayleigh had fallen in love with Ace. When the news came that Ace was defeated by Blackbeard and sent to the World Government, she did not want to tell Rayleigh, because she knew that Rayleigh would definitely take a risk and do something.

But she also knew that this news could not be concealed. It was just a matter of knowing it sooner or later. If she wasted time, she would have to bear the brunt of Rayleigh's punishment. So after thinking it through, Xia Qi told Rayleigh directly and advised Rayleigh not to act rashly and to think twice before acting!

It is not easy to enter Impel Down. In all these years, only the Golden Lion has escaped from prison. It is a dangerous place. Rayleigh is already old, and he might die there if he goes there. So Rayleigh wants to gather his old friends and make a good plan. If that doesn't work, he will call Shanks to help!

"Hey... Is Mr. Rayleigh still on the island? I want to help save Ace!"

Vic originally wanted to say that someone would rescue Ace, but after thinking about it, he realized that since Ace's background had not been exposed, there would probably be no public execution.

Without the public execution, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will not be summoned, and Luffy will not be able to sneak into Impel Down with the help of the Pirate Empress. If he breaks in directly, the chances of rescuing Ace will be even slimmer!

Victor is not worried about whether the Pirate Empress will help Luffy. This is destined and there is nothing to worry about. As long as Luffy is sent to Nine Snake Island, the Empress will definitely fall.

But without the call-up order, Hancock had no way to exchange conditions for the opportunity to visit Impel Down, so Wick knew that the plot had deviated greatly. The war at the top was over, and although Ace was spared the death penalty, he would have to go to prison for life.

However, Vic is not very worried about Ace. With his current strength, he can easily rescue Ace, but that is the last resort. If there are other ways, Vic will not act easily!

"He should still be there. If a quasi-emperor like you can help, Ace can be saved! I'll call Lao Lei and ask him to come back!"

When Xia Qi heard what Vic said, a light suddenly lit up in her eyes. Her intelligence ability was not bad. She knew a lot about how Vic forced the World Government to take over after killing the Celestial Dragons.

That kind of tough attitude and strength that even the World Government can't do anything about is something any pirate would be fascinated by.

Later, Wick defeated Big Mom and had a fierce battle with Kaido. She didn't know the result of the battle with Kaido, but since then, Kaido had three hideous scars on his chest and a small scar that was slightly concave between his eyebrows.

Experienced surgeons know that this is a phenomenon that occurs when the skull is broken and has not fully grown, and cannot support the flesh. In other words, during the battle between Kaido and Vic, the bone between his eyebrows was shattered by Vic, and the Four Emperors Kaido was on the verge of life and death!

The outcome of that battle is unclear, but Kaido definitely didn't gain any advantage. Didn't you see that Vic didn't have any scars on his body? And what about Kaido? He had several scars on his body that could not be healed.

In Xia Qi's eyes, the winner of that battle would most likely be Vic. Although Vic did not have the title of Sea Emperor, he was already on the same level as the Four Emperors, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a quasi-emperor.

So when Xia Qi heard Vic say he wanted to help, she was happier than when she knew Shanks was coming to help. Vic is a user of natural abilities, and his operating space in Impel Down is much stronger than Shanks who has no fruit ability. So Xia Qi quickly took out the Den Den Mushi and fired.

'Brew, brew, brew...'

Just when Xia Qi was calling Rayleigh, the Den Den Mushi in Vic's arms also rang. Xia Qi looked at Vic in confusion, and even had an absurd thought in her mind.

"Ms. Xia Qi! Please continue to call Mr. Reilly. I'm going to answer the phone outside."

"Vic! It's me. I just received a notice from Sengoku that he is going to publicly execute the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Ace the Fire Fist. You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so you will probably be called on this time. And the execution of Ace the Fire Fist is likely to attract Whitebeard, so you better be careful then."

"Oh! I get it. I will be careful. You, the naval hero, should not be absent. You are so old now. It is better not to take action if you can. I will be there for you in everything!"

"You little brat! You don't need me to tell you. It won't be long before Zhan Guo will inform you. That's it. I'm hanging up!"

Garp called Vic. After receiving the notification from Sengoku, he felt something was wrong. If Ace was just imprisoned in Impel Down, his life would not be in any danger.

But public execution is different. For the sake of the Navy and the World Government's face, Ace is in danger of death even with Whitebeard's rescue. The power gathered on the Navy's side is too powerful, and it is not something that the Whitebeard Pirates can contend with!

So after hanging up the phone with Sengoku, Garp called Vic right away. The two of them couldn't say it clearly on the phone, but the Den Den Mushi of many people in the navy had been monitored, and Garp had no doubt that he was on the monitoring list.

So when they were on the phone with Vic, the two never talked about important things, nor did they talk about the secrets of the Navy. Anyway, given the relationship between Garp and Vic, even if Vic had betrayed the Navy, it would not affect their private relationship.

It wouldn't be a violation of the navy's discipline for the two of them to make an occasional phone call. Even if it was monitored, it wouldn't matter. Just like the conversation just now, Wick was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and sooner or later he would be summoned by Sengoku. Even if Garp had told him in advance, it wouldn't be a big deal. He was going to put an advertisement in the newspaper to lure Whitebeard.

In fact, from the time Wick defected from the navy to now, the number of phone calls between Wick and Garp has been very limited. Because of their different identities, the two are very restrained and will only contact each other when there is something important.

The first time they contacted, it was because Wick had found a way to refine pure gold. He contacted in order to give the old man a good body and a good condition. Moreover, Den Den Mushi didn't say much when he contacted. He directly invited Garp to Windmill Village before talking about business.

The second time was when the old man was on the verge of a breakthrough, and all he said in the Den Den Mushi was "I want to eat the food you cook!"

And now is the third time, both of them are playing dumb. If you don't know the relationship between Garp and Ace, who would have thought that Garp and Vic were discussing saving Ace? You would only think that Vic, the junior, and Garp, the elder, care about each other!
