Chapter 617 Raleigh's Rejection

Under the golden dusk, the beautiful Chambord Islands exudes a peaceful atmosphere. In the sunset, the flying soap bubbles exude colorful light, adding a touch of beauty to this dreamy island.

The Chambord Islands, which had been chaotic for a day, seemed to slowly regain their former peace and tranquility under the rendering of the sunset glow.

In the area under the control of the navy, teams of naval soldiers escorted the criminals captured on the Chambord Islands and boarded the ships from the headquarters.

"Bastard, take all these people-trafficking guys to the big prison under the sea." Wrapped in gauze, Zhan Taowan, holding a big ax that never leaves his body, looked at the information about these criminals in his hand, and shouted angrily .

What Zhan Taowan was angry about was not how many criminal things these criminals had done, what he was angry about was that the navy sent out such a big battle today, but they only caught these little people who were of little use.

None of the supernovae gathered on this island were caught by the navy, and those guys who were defeated by Uncle Huang Yuan were also captured in the battle with that bastard Lin Tian.

The most abominable thing is that none of the Straw Hats who were seriously injured were captured by the navy and rescued by Xiong under the intervention of Rayleigh and Xiong. As for the exact whereabouts, only Xiong knows.

Thinking of this, Zhanmomaru looked angrily at the bear holding a book beside him, standing quietly on the shore, watching the bear gradually sinking into the sea into the sun.

"A pirate is indeed a pirate. If it weren't for the old man Bunker and the headquarters, seeing that the px-0 plan has reached the most critical moment, they don't want the headquarters to waste years of hard work and lose a high-end combat power, otherwise I will not be spared Xiong this guy", Zhan Taowan muttered in a very uncomfortable manner.

Don't turn your head away, look at the pirates in front, you can't do anything anyway, just don't look at this guy.

Thinking of Kiazuru who hastily left after receiving the order, Zhan Momomaru's face was solemn, "The battle between Whitebeard and the Navy headquarters is about to happen, and the great route will be messed up."

...

In Shaqi's blackmail bar, the dim slanting light shines in through the windows, and a little bit of light fills this small bar.

Xia Qi stood inside the bar, picked up the cup on the table, was carefully wiping the dust off the cup with a rag, and looked forward quietly.

Crash, clatter... The sound of the collision of fine wine, in the silent bar, sounded little by little!

The rich wine slowly swayed and rotated in the shaking glass, and the faint aroma of the wine spread along the air in the bar and flowed into the nostrils of Lin Tian and Lei Li, but neither of them looked at the wine.

Shaking the wine glass, Lin Tian quietly stared at the rippling wine-red liquid, without saying a word, sitting there silently, as if waiting for an answer.

Lei Li, who was sitting beside him, raised his wine glass and put his eyes on the smooth bar under his arm. A newspaper was unfolded and placed there quietly.

Staring at this newspaper, I don't know whether it is a few seconds, a minute, or more than ten minutes. When the three of them have something on their minds, time just flows by.

After an unknown amount of time, Rayleigh finally made a move and put the wine glass in his hand on the corner of the newspaper, on top of the photo of Ace being imprisoned.

"Lin Tian, ​​don't you plan to say something?" There was a different tone in the faint words.

Hearing Rayleigh's inquiry,

The wine glass in Lin Tian's hand stopped turning, and he replied: "Uncle Lei Li, I'm afraid you already know what decision I have in mind."

Turning his head and staring at Lei Li, Lin Tian asked back: "The most important thing is you, Uncle Lei Li, what decision did you make in your heart?"

Lei Li suddenly smiled unknown, picked up the glass in hand and drank it down, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face full of vicissitudes.

"That day, when I learned that the captain was executed by the navy, although I didn't go there, I was also on that island, in that dim, damp bar that we used to go to."

"Maybe it was because of the captain's order, or maybe I didn't want to see that moment. I ordered a glass of ordinary Donghai wine. It was not as mellow and rich as the wine we drank during the journey, but it was when we were on the great voyage. , always miss the most, the most delicious taste".

Picking up the wine bottle on the side, Rayleigh seemed to have returned to that day, sitting quietly in front of the empty bar, drinking what he thought was the most beautiful wine.

"The world is respected as the One Piece, the captain who has gained countless wealth, fame and power according to the rumors, under the eyes of countless gazes and cheers, he has gone through his legendary life vigorously."

Speaking of this, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel pain for that man in his heart. The world knows his glamorous appearance, but it is difficult to understand the wounded heart hidden by that man's smile.

"But in this life, the captain didn't end it for him. He left this opportunity to the people behind the journey, those pioneers who have the same will as the captain."

Continuing to shake the wine glass in his hand, Lin Tian suddenly said: "What that man left in this world is not only the will to exaggerate the whole world, but also his blood."

Elegantly lighting the cigarette in his hand, Xia Qi put it on his lips and smoked it gently, "It's really shocking news. The Pirate King Roger, who the world thought had disappeared completely, has left his own blood in the world."

Xia Qi has seen Ace, the young man back then, who also radiated dazzling light on the Great Airway, and has become famous in the world in just a short period of time with the gift of the king.

Ace came to look for Rayleigh, and Shaggy met him at that time. After Ace left, Rayleigh was abnormally drunk in the bar for a week. At this time, Shaggy finally understood why.

"I didn't expect the captain to leave a bloodline. When the pirate group disbanded, everyone went to their respective places."

Lei Li slowly poured down the fine wine in the bottle, shook his head, with an unknown wry smile on his face.

As for Ace, who came to look for him as the captain's son back then, Raleigh was shocked for a long time before accepting the news. He was also happy for the captain and left his own blood.

However, at that time, Raleigh felt Ace's resentment towards the captain. For this reason, Raleigh secretly explained what happened back then, but it didn't have much effect.

But now, things are completely different in front of him. The news that Fire Fist Ace is going to be executed is finally no longer blocked by the navy today, and the whole world is notified.

A silent storm is blowing from Marine Vandor, the headquarters of the navy, and it is blowing towards the whole world at a terrifying speed.

The eyes of the whole world will be focused on the next battle between Whitebeard and the Navy. This event will be the most eye-catching event in history when the era of great navigation comes.

"Why, Uncle Lei Li, have you thought about it yet?" Lin Tian turned his eyes and brought up the topic again.

Lei Li is a superb combat power. Although he may not be as old as he was back then, Lei Li's combat power is enough to completely withstand an admiral in the navy. For the next battle, Lei Li will play a very important role.

Therefore, Lin Tian will not give up on Lei Li. If Lei Li is there, it means that the naval combat power will eliminate an admiral, which will play a very important role in rescuing Ace.

Seeing that Lin Tian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, Lei Li stopped pouring the wine, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and lifted it up to Lin Tian.

Suddenly said: "Lin Tian, ​​wine is brewed in different ways in different places. The water is different and the brewing methods are different for different raw materials, so wine has various flavors."

"Some people say that wine tastes better when it ages, but I think wine also has its age. Sometimes people are like wine. Some things should not be taken care of when you are old, and you should leave them to young people."

Although he didn't say it clearly, why didn't Lin Tian hear the evasion in Lei Li's mouth. Regarding the old man's choice, he actually had some expectations in his heart.

He also picked up the wine glass and handed it to Lei Li. Lin Tian said, "Uncle Lei Li, in my opinion, whether the wine is delicious or not depends on the person. Wine is a dead thing. There is no lover in wine, but there is love in it."

Under Lei Li's thinking eyes, Lin Tian continued: "Uncle Lei Li, there are some things, I don't need to say more, you should see clearly than me."

"This battle between Whitebeard and the navy is a foregone conclusion. A storm has begun. No one in the great route can escape, including you and me. My goal is very simple. No matter whether the battle is won by Whitebeard or the navy, There is or there is a black hand behind all this, I only want that guy Ace to live."

"Uncle Raleigh, Ace is the only bloodline of Pirate King Roger, don't you have the heart to watch Ace die in the next battle."

In Lei Li's gaze, Lin Tian suddenly noticed a trace of struggle, and he also understood in his heart that Lei Li was not that kind of heartless person.

Ace is already the only blood left by Captain Roger in this world. Knowing this, how could Raleigh not have the idea to rescue Ace.

But Lei Li must have something hard to say, otherwise, how could he refuse Lin Tian's invitation, knowing that Ace is about to be executed, but still chooses to lie dormant in the Chambord Islands, and did not make a move.

Even though Lin Tian persuaded again, Lei Li still shook his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank suddenly into his mouth.

Seeing that Lei Li still disagreed, Lin Tian didn't try to persuade him, he had tried to persuade him several times, but it was useless to continue talking.

Standing up, Lin Tian put down the unfinished wine glass, turned and walked towards the door, grabbing the door bolt.

Lin Tian stopped suddenly without turning around, and said directly: "Uncle Rayleigh, there are still a few days left before Ace's execution. I hope you can think clearly within a while. Wait for you".

After finishing speaking, Lin Tian turned the latch, opened the door, and entered the dark Chambord Islands facing the night sky outside.

Looking at the picture of Ace on the newspaper, Rayleigh picked up the bottle beside him and poured it into his mouth.

On the side, during the conversation between Lei Li and Lin Tian, ​​Xia Qi did not open his mouth to join in, because she understood that this was a matter involving the past.

Looking at Lin Tian who disappeared outside the door, he said lightly: "The sea ahead is about to blow a storm, and an unprecedented wave is coming." (To be continued.)
