12. Asking Toolman Rayleigh to Hunt Sea Kings

"Uchiha Xuanqing listened and nodded heavily: 'Thank you, Uncle Rayleigh!'

'Haha! How could that be true?' Rayleigh laughed out loud after hearing this. 'I should be the one to thank you! Not only did you save the children of the Nine Snakes Pirates, but you also brought me such important news.'

'That's right!' At this time, Shaoyao also spoke to Xuanqing and Uchiha Zhili: 'The information about Roger's son alone is enough to exchange what you want with this guy;' 'In my opinion, this is not enough to offset your kindness in saving Hancock and the others;' 'How about you make some more requests? Otherwise, I will feel uneasy!' She knew how important this news from Ace was to her husband. For this news, a little bit of cultivation experience is nothing. If this guy sees someone he likes, he is even willing to take the initiative to teach them these things.

Uchiha Xuanqing listened, but shook his head repeatedly: 'No need! We don't need anything for the time being! These are enough;' 'Don't be too greedy!' 'However, I may need some information in the future. How about I trouble you again, Aunt Shao?'

Shaoyao smiled knowingly after hearing this: 'Haha! Okay! It's settled then! If you need any information, just ask me! I'm pretty well-informed about intelligence.' However, she didn't think Xuan Qing could really use her information. Because, according to Ace's intelligence, Uchiha Xuanqing and his men also have an intelligence system that is stronger than their own. I guess they say this just to be polite so that I don't have to worry about it any further.

After treating Xuanqing and his team to lunch, Shaoyao and the team leader found Xuanqing and his team again and said a little embarrassedly: 'Because some of the crew members are seriously injured and we need to prepare supplies, it may take five days before we can set off. Is it possible?'

'No problem!' Uchiha Xuanqing did not refuse. At present, his and his mother's health were recovering rapidly, so these few days would not matter. Moreover, here, with Rayleigh and the others providing higher-quality sea king meat, Xuanqing and his mother will recover faster, so they will definitely not refuse!

'By the way, Uncle Rayleigh, I want to collect some sea king meat and store it for later consumption. I wonder if you can help me? It's too expensive to buy it directly!' Xuan Qing asked somewhat embarrassedly.

'Oh?' Rayleigh was slightly stunned after hearing this, and chuckled: 'This is simple. There are many sea kings in the sea. With my strength, I can easily hunt them down. 'But how are you going to store it? This stuff won't last long!' Even with the vitality of sea kings, without a refrigerated place, it will start to stink at most a month.

'Don't worry about that. I have a special storage method! Sorry to bother you!' Uchiha Xuanqing smiled mysteriously. He planned to collect it directly using the space-time gate. As for whether it will expose his secret? Anyway, there are many devil fruits with magical powers in the world of pirates. Even if Rayleigh has doubts, he will only suspect that it might be some kind of devil fruit ability. It cannot reveal Xuanqing's true secret. But there are not many opportunities to easily obtain large amounts of sea king meat. You can't let your mother go hunting, can you? With her means, she can probably only use Susanoo. Maybe illusion techniques will also work, but that's not certain. Other ninjutsu are not so effective against sea kings that are huge in size and have strong vitality. Moreover, Uchiha Zhili's current physical condition is not suitable for using Susanoo.

'Haha! That's fine! I happen to be free now, let's go now!' Rayleigh didn't ask any more questions and just waved his hand.

'Hey! Good!' Xuan Qing nodded happily in response. 'Let me come too! You're not well yet! It's easy for something to happen!' At this time, Uchiha Zhili also stood up and said. Obviously, she was still worried about letting Xuanqing go with Rayleigh alone. By that time, Rayleigh will be hunting sea kings and may not be able to take care of him.

'Excuse me, Lord Rayleigh!' Uchiha Zhili nodded slightly to Rayleigh.

'Haha! It's no big deal! Let's go! It's a good opportunity for the Nine Snake Island ship to take us out to sea!' As he spoke, Rayleigh brought Xuanqing and his mother to the boat on Nine Snake Island. After saying hello to the team leader Naqi, the boat soon set out to sea.

However, after going more than ten kilometers, the boat stopped temporarily. Then, Rayleigh jumped directly into the sea.

'BOOM!!! BOOM!!!' After a while, there was a roar and vibration from the bottom of the sea, causing the sea surface to surge.

'Gurgle....Puff!!' Soon, a giant sea snake-like sea king that was a hundred meters long and no less than 5 meters in diameter emerged from the water in a coma. Rayleigh popped his head out from the side of the sea snake, looked at Xuanqing on the boat and asked, 'Brother Xuanqing, how is it? Is this sea snake enough? Do you need more?'

'We need more! Ten more of similar ones will do! Thank you, Uncle Rayleigh!' Having said that, Xuan Qing turned to look at his mother.

Uchiha Zhili shook her head in amusement, grabbed Xuanqing's collar behind his neck and jumped up, landing steadily on the sea.

'Oh?' Rayleigh and even the people on the boat were very surprised to see this scene: 'Can you actually stand directly on the sea?' 'Because of that strange energy? It's really mysterious!' Rayleigh noticed the chakra in Uchiha Zhili's footsteps. Although he was very curious, he did not ask any more questions and immediately replied: 'Then I will continue to hunt ten, but they may not be this kind of sea snake!'

'No problem!' Xuan Qing nodded: 'As long as it's a sea king, it's fine! Thank you for your help, Uncle Rayleigh! I'll treat you to some good wine when we get back!' He remembered that there were a lot of good wines in the wine cellar at home, which Rayleigh definitely had not drunk. He was sure his mother wouldn't mind. She couldn't even wait to exchange a little wine for so much sea king meat!

'Haha! That's great, then it's settled!' Rayleigh's eyes lit up immediately and he smiled.

At this time, Xuan Qing was carried by Uchiha Zhili and approached the sea king floating on the sea. He stretched out his hand and touched the sea king. With a thought, he put the sea king into the space-time gate. Moreover, he directly used his spatial authority to kill the sea king to prevent it from waking up and causing trouble for him. He even thought about it and directly broke down the sea kings into different categories and broke them into pieces, and piled them into the time-prohibited area used to store items.

'This....' Seeing such a huge sea king suddenly disappear on the sea surface after being touched by Xuan Qing, both Rayleigh and Hancock's pupils suddenly shrank.

'You kid, you're really not simple! Haha!' Lei Li looked at Xuan Qing deeply and said, 'Since you have this method of collecting and storing, I feel relieved. I will continue hunting now.' Having said that, Rayleigh dived into the water again.

Uchiha Zhili first brought Xuanqing back to the boat again. Otherwise, the sea kings might show up and hurt Xuan Qing.

'Xuan Qing! Xuan Qing, what is that method of yours? Is it some kind of space-related devil fruit?' At this time, Hancock ran over and asked curiously.

'That's about right!' Uchiha Xuanqing smiled and nodded.

'Amazing! I didn't expect you to be a Devil Fruit user!' Hancock exclaimed. Hancock at this time is not yet the arrogant empress Hancock who ate the sweet fruit in the future. Instead, she is much more lively and amiable.
