Rayleigh's Principles (3/3)

In the silence of the night, twenty warships lined up.

To seize the time, the Marine Headquarters directly called the steam-powered warships that are still under development, and under the thick black smoke, the warships are shuttling through the waves at an incredible speed.

Buruburu, Buruburu.

"Why haven't you picked up? Kuzan ..." Sengoku held Den Den Mushi and looked out over the Sabaody Archipelago, whose outline was already barely visible in the distance, "What the hell happened to you there?"

"It should ... be that Den Den Mushi is damaged or lost!" The accompanying Chaton (Tokikage) said hesitantly, "With the strength of Vice Admiral Kuzan, it is impossible for ordinary people to pose any threat to him!"

"The one who dares to make a move against the Celestial Dragons will not be an ordinary person!" Sengoku took a deep breath and said, "Even I didn't expect that the slave riot was just a guise for the person behind it."

"His real target is actually the Celestial Dragons who are the World' nobles!"

"That incident with Vice Admiral Dragon was eventually erased by the government, but this time ..." said Tokikage in a deep voice, "is the government can not cover it up!"

"That man freed the slaves of the entire island of Sabaody perhaps to further expand the impact of this event, so that the government also can not suppress the news of the death of the Celestial Dragon."

"There is indeed that possibility." Sengoku nodded, "If the Celestial Dragons, who are the descendants of the Creator, would also be killed, it would undoubtedly bring the Celestial Dragons down to the altar, and even bring the government's prestige down to the bottom!"

"Speaking of which, I have some suspicions that this incident is actually Dragon's handiwork!"

"Is that the rumored revolutionary army?" Tokikage couldn't help but ask.

"Have you heard about it too?" Sengoku said with a grave face, "Overthrow the unequal rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and establish a better land of true freedom and equality!"

"This is just nonsense! Equality in the true sense of the word can never exist, unless the day of the end of the world is still close."

"What's more, if the World Government was so easy to overthrow, how could it have stood at the top of the world for 800 years? All Dragon has done is to make the world's hard-won peace completely collapse!"

Tokikage rubbed his head, this kind of thing he better not comment, so decided to change the subject, "Admiral Sengoku, the Sabaody Archipelago is almost here."

Sengoku looked up and found that the warship was already only a few hundred meters away from the shore, "Let's both go to the island first and try to find Kuzan as soon as possible."

After saying that, the two of them flew towards the coastline with Geppo.

Once on shore, Sengoku found the key that recorded Kuzan's location, "It's the ice crystal! Kuzan is in this direction!"

The two were soon in a massive hole like a meteorite smashed out, saw the blood-soaked, frozen in a large bier of ice Kuzan.

Seeing this, Sengoku was relieved instead, "It's the Ice Barrier, Kuzan's life-saving skill when he enters a false death state!"

"Is that so?" Tokikage's tense heart relaxed.

"From the time Kuzan sent the news to our arrival, the full count is only ten minutes." Sengoku face incomparable gloomy, "but this is a short ten minutes, Kuzan was beaten to the point of death, it is difficult to imagine the other party's strength in the end will be strong to what extent!"

"Ten minutes!" Tokikage then realized the importance of the problem, "it is impossible for Whitebeard to do it!"

"So, I guess the other side is most likely more than one person!" Sengoku shook his head and said, "But there is no point in discussing this now, when Kuzan wakes up, we will naturally know everything!"

"You send Kuzan back to the headquarters first, I'll go over to the Celestial Dragons to see."

"Yes!" Tokikage heart is clear; even Vice Admiral Kuzan is like this, the Celestial Dragons are, perhaps, not even scum left.

...

The sea at night seemed even more silent and profound, and suddenly, two heads came out from under the calm surface of the sea.

"Swordsman boy, you are very good at water!"

"It's okay."

"Speaking of which, I thought you were going to kill that Marine!"

"That last move of his can't be broken without a few minutes." Apophis said indifferently, "Our purpose is to escape, there is no need to waste too much time on him."

"Also." Rayleigh nodded and exhaled freely, "Today is the most free I've been in years!"

"Kill the Celestial Dragons? This kind of crazy thing even Roger did not think back then!"

"Wearing a mask and releasing one's nature means not being bound by the rules." Apophis said indifferently, "So, the mask is actually a very dangerous thing!"

"I am now quite curious, young man, what is your true identity under the mask?" Rayleigh asked.

"But I wasn't going to let you know."

"Haha! What a cold heart! At least, we are also considered to have fought side by side as comrades in arms!"

"Is it really like that? The hostility in your eyes when we first met can't be faked."

"I can't hide anything from you, young man!" Rayleigh sighed, "In fact, I have always had a doubt in my heart, especially after meeting you, this doubt has been lingering in my mind."

Apophis was reticent, gesturing for him to go on.

"Why would a man like you, who has the courage to unmask the world, kill an innocent child?" Rayleigh said a domineering and fierce aura came out through his body, causing the calm sea to ripple abruptly, "His name you remember, right? Kozuki Momonosuke, the last descendant of the Kozuki clan!"

"There is such a thing, as for the reason ..." Apophis body also erupted a harsh and oppressive aura, under the collision, countless dark swirls in the deep sea quietly formed, "I do not seem to be obliged to tell you it!"

He is also the owner of Haoshoku... Rayleigh's eyes under the mask do not have many fluctuations, with each other's temperament, with Haoshoku is not strange.

"Indeed, Roger Pirates have been disbanded for so many years, I am not much qualified to say such things ..." Rayleigh smiled self-deprecatingly, "What's more, my old bones have not been able to constitute any threat to you. "

Apophis ignored Rayleigh's last words, "What are you trying to say?"

"In fifteen years, someone more qualified than me to question you will stand in front of you." Rayleigh laughed, "Until then, don't die in someone else's hands."

Apophis was not surprised that Rayleigh counted as a fairly traditional pirate.

Without his presence in the top war, Ace's person affixed with the Whitebeard Pirates' flag.

In the great right and wrong, he is not qualified or in a position to take a shot.

Precisely.

He can provide off-field assistance, but will never come himself off the field.

The same applies to the Momonosuke incident.

His identity is the heir to the Kozuki clan and not a member of the Roger Pirates, Momonosuke, his blood revenge, naturally, can only be avenged by the same Kozuki clan.

"I'm looking forward to it." Apophis said in waves.

"Haha! You're really indifferent, fellow Swordsman!" Rayleigh joked and laughed as if the previous sabre-rattling situation had never happened.
