Chapter 56

- Eh, bad luck ... - Rayleigh sighed.

The reverse fell out, so Rayleigh lost, of course I used gravity again, although it was not fair, I had no choice.

I smiled and said:

"You'll be lucky, I'm sure."

At my words, he only chuckled:

- Stop pretending, say what you wanted.

I nodded and began to speak:

- It's simple, I have a team, but I'm sailing to the New World, so I can't take them with me, and leaving them alone is not an option either. The patrol will surely not miss the chance to hunt them, so I wanted to ask you to keep an eye on them, and, if possible, practice, if it is not difficult for you.

Rayleigh just laughed at my words:

- Ah-ha-ha-ha, I didn't think that in my old age I would have to work as a nanny.

I chuckled:

- This is not for long, only six months, by that time I will finish all the cases and come back. Monkey D. Luffy, a funny guy, is going to get into trouble for sure, so I will try to help him.

- Monkey D. Luffy? Rayleigh was visibly surprised after my words.

I nodded.

- Yes, Luffy will come here, his personality is almost the same as his grandfather, so he will need help, for sure ...

- Hmm, so you know him? - asked the Dark King.

I smiled and shook my head.

- Not really, but I'm sure he will have a great future.

Then Rayleigh sighed and said:

- Someone told me the same thing, now I'm even more interested in what kind of guy he is.

- If I calculated correctly, he will arrive here in about six months, if you want to meet him, then you should also arrive in six months. - I warned.

Rayleigh thought about it and then said:

- Six months means not bad ... Okay, I'll look after your guys, but mind you, I will be very strict, and they may not like my training.

I chuckled:

- Nothing, they will survive.

"Well then, but I won't be able to teach them on Sabaody, there is one place, just far from the eyes of the patrol, and we will stop there. Rayleigh said.

I nodded.

- Okay, then let's go, I'll introduce you.

On this we finished and went to the ship to the others. I didn't expect that everything would come out so easy, it seemed to me it would be more difficult ... Although, maybe Rayleigh just decided to have some fun, and I don't even suspect who knows what is on his mind. Maybe he knew from the very beginning that I was cheating, but now he just decided to warm up and help me for some reason. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, now it's worth getting off the island as quickly as possible.

So stop, I almost forgot.

I turned to Rayleigh and asked:

- Where can I buy Eternal Pos here on some island in the new world?

Rayleigh scratched his chin and then said:

- Well, there are a couple of shops, but I advise you to go to the nineteenth grove, there are special goods, so to speak. - Rayleigh waved his hand and said: - Come on, I'll show you.

Ten minutes later, we stood at a small shop with an unpretentious inscription "Goods for the navigator." Rayleigh took me inside and greeted the salesman.

- Hi Zach, here's a visitor for you.

Zach was a little old white octopus fishman, he looked at Rayleigh and said:

- Hello old man, you rarely meet in the company of young people.

Rayleigh chuckled.

- Show the product already.

- Heh, can I do that, what is required? - asked the octopus.

I came closer and said:

- Eternal Pos to several places: Amazon Lily, to one of the Vargo Islands, to the Vernon Islands and the Green Caves Islands.

The Fishman whistled and said:

- Nothing you have requests guy, you say the island of Vargo huh? Are you looking for Whitebeard?

- Yes, am I really not the first? - I was surprised.

The octopus chuckled:

- Phe, still, such people come here all the time, do you think I have a million Eternal Posov? Heh, this is the New World, this is not the Grand Line for you, there Eternal Pos is an unreliable thing. - Then the octopus began to rummage in things and took out several objects with the words: - Here, this is to the Amazon island, but mind you, you can't get there just like that, this island is right in Kalm Belt, so don't even think about sailing on a simple ship. - Then he handed me a small piece of paper and said: - And this Vivre-card, will lead you to the city of Purinha, he is on one of the Vargo islands, the card will lead you to the store of a merchant, he is one of the people of Whitebeard, he will tell you what do next.

I accepted items with the words:

- Thank you, how much for me?

The old octopus smiled a strange smile and was about to say something when Rayleigh interrupted him:

- Zach, don't be silly, if you want to fool a guy for money, then think twice.

The octopus grimaced and muttered:

- It hurts ... You've got five hundred ... - The old man hesitated when he saw Rayleigh's eyes, and with a sigh said:

- One hundred, one hundred thousand ...

I chuckled and paid. Then we left the store and I asked Rayleigh:

- Is this an acquaintance of yours?

Rayleigh nodded.

- Yes, he is still a rascal, he loves to fool newcomers.

- Then thanks for the help - I chuckled.

- Come on, let's go already. - The Dark King brushed aside and went forward.

On the way, Rayleigh asked:

- So why do you need Whitebeard?

- There is one little business. - I answered evasively.

Rayleigh chuckled.

- Well, if you don't want to, don't tell me, just be careful, Whitebeard can sometimes bend and lose his temper, then it's hard to stop him.

I nodded gravely.

- I understand, I'll be careful.

Rayleigh smiled and we moved on.

We got to the ship quickly, but what I saw when we arrived, it really strained me ...

A crowd of marines surrounded the ship, and Sanji, Zoro, Nami and North sat next to the ship bound, but not wounded, as if they did not even resist, but were easily defeated. But when I saw two people next to them, I was not surprised. There were two people standing next to them, whom I did not expect to see here at all. The first's aura was calm and collected, but at the same time heavy and strong. What surprised me most was his height, he was seven meters high. He looked like a bear, and he held a Bible in his hands. It was definitely Bartholomew Kuma.

The second was half the size, but still a rather tall man. He looked about fifty years old, too many wrinkles. He wore a yellow striped suit and a white admiral's cloak. His aura was similarly calm, but the calmness was more boredom than composure and confidence. Yes, even from his face it was clear that he did not really care about the situation around. He was exactly the same as I remember him from the manga, Borsalino, better known as Kizaru.

Yes, I did not expect the patrol to make its move so soon, and if there is also Kuma, it means that the world government is also involved. Don't they like me that much ... Hmm, it's problematic ... We'll have to change plans.
