One Piece: Dark Sky

"Found you at last, old man."

Rayleigh heard the vibration in the center of the small island, the eyes under the round-rimmed glasses slowly fell with the huge log that was blown off, but there was a nostalgic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This lunatic, after so many years, still hasn't changed, everything is frizzy."

Mandel also turned his attention to the center of the island. Unlike Rayleigh's nostalgia, from the expression on Mandel's face, Mandel seemed not interested in seeing this former partner.

"Let's go, everyone is here, we have to meet each other."

Gordon also frowned, but he stretched it out quickly, showing the previous smile, although it was not very obvious on his fat face.

As Gordon said, even though he didn't want to see that guy, since they were all here, Mandel had no choice but to nod, and followed Rayleigh who had already walked into the forest without saying a word.

But not long after the three of them entered the forest, there was a huge roar from the forest, the roar of a lion.

Accompanied by that terrifying roar, a neck was covered with manes like steel needles. Its body was huge, but its mouth was full of yellow fangs, full of the smell of blood, and its face was huge. A horrifying and hideous scar across one eye, and the remaining one was staring fiercely at Lei Li who walked into the forest with its angry blood-red eyes.

And at this time, in the center of the island, a huge tree fell down with a loud bang...

But this time, it didn't attract the attention of Lei Li and the others. At this time, their eyes were all on the lion that suddenly appeared in front of them.

"It's really big, this guy."

Mandel looked at the lion that was roaring towards him, let the saliva spewed out from his mouth along with his voice hang on his body, and said in a low voice.

Those hands that were covered with thick calluses couldn't help clenching their fists.

But Mandel's performance was different. Gordon, who was standing beside him, smiled and took down the horse ladle that he had been holding on his shoulder, and kept knocking on the other hand regularly, only listening to him Said.

"Hey, Mandel, if it's hard to catch cuttlefish, how about fried rice with lion meat?"

"Um, I have no objection."

Hearing Gordon's words, Mandel said in astonishment.

But Raleigh couldn't help smiling when he heard the conversation between the two of them, and said to the two of them without turning his head.

"Hey, hey...you really are a sight to behold, it's rare to have such a 'cute' animal to welcome us..."

Lei Li said with a smile, but stretched out his hand to the roaring lion with its bloody mouth wide open. The smile on his face remained the same, but the eyes hidden under the round-rimmed glasses snapped open.

An invisible air wave erupted from his body, and swept across the roaring lion fiercely. At the moment when the air wave passed by the lion, it was still roaring wantonly before. The lion immediately closed its mouth, lowered its head a little docilely, and licked the palm that Lei Li stretched out.

The king of the forest, who was still extremely irritable before, seemed to have turned into a pure and harmless kitten at this time, and was actively handing over his not-so-cute head, rubbing against Lei Li's hand non-stop. .

"Overlord color domineering, it's been a long time since I've seen you use it. This feeling is still so powerful."

Seeing the tamed lion, Gordon picked up the ladle again without much interest, but looked at Rayleigh again.

"I thought you had forgotten how to use this trick."

Gordon said.

And Mandel, who had been arguing with Gordon from the beginning, surprisingly didn't complain when he heard Gordon's words, but nodded silently.

Obviously, Mandel, as an old man, also misses Raleigh's trick very much.

"Ah, there is always something to eat. If you forget this, you probably won't be able to see me alive today."

Regarding the complaints of the two old guys, Raleigh didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, it seems that he was used to their communication method as early as when Roger was still alive.

"Let's go, that guy Stuart should be here."

Rayleigh patted the now extremely docile lion, and the lion ran away immediately. After the lion left, Rayleigh smiled and said to Gordon and Mandel standing behind him.

Hearing Raleigh's words, the amusement on the faces of Gordon and Mandel gradually disappeared, and they nodded heavily. It seems that the old man they are about to meet is not very popular...

Rayleigh, Gordon, and Mandel once again moved forward in the forest, and at this time, another huge tree was shattered in the middle of the island...

"What the hell is that guy doing?"

The huge roar irritated Gordon's eardrums, and he could only hear Gordon complaining.

"Who knows, that guy is a lunatic, and you know it too."

Mandel continued to speak in a low voice.

"Hush...he's here!"

While Gordon and Mandel were chatting, Raleigh suddenly became vigilant, put his index finger to his mouth, and said to Mandel and Gordon behind him.

As soon as Lei Li's words fell, a huge piercing sound came over, and then what came into their eyes was a polished and smooth wooden short stick!

"Hey, this guy."

Seeing the flying stick, Lei Li showed a helpless smile on his face, his legs bent slightly, and after a bounce, Lei Li disappeared in place, appeared in the air, and reached out to catch it. Caught the flying stick, and the moment Lei Li's hand touched the short stick, the armed arrogance was instantly released, and it perfectly attached to the short stick!

And the moment Leili caught the short stick, a huge black shadow rushed over! In his hand, he also held a wooden stick that was similar to the short stick that flew over before. Like Rayleigh, the short stick in his hand also emitted a black metal sound in his hand. light!

"boom!"

The huge black shadow hit Lei Li's body almost instantly, and the muscles on Lei Li's hand holding the short stick swelled, and he was hit down by the huge black shadow!

"What?"

"Is that lunatic already strong enough?"

Seeing Rayleigh, who was at a disadvantage in the confrontation, even Gordon and Mandel, who were standing behind him without moving, showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

And after the black shadow and Rayleigh were hit into the ground, the large cloud of smoke and dust that was raised slowly dispersed, revealing the two figures that had been covered by the smoke and dust before.

It was a bare-chested man covered with countless large and small knife marks and gun marks. Just like the lion that appeared before, there was also a hideous scar on his wrinkled face. , across one of his eyes.

And below him, what was knocked down by his blow was the right arm of the Pirate King, the legendary King of Hades, Shirbazz Raleigh.

I saw that man stretched out a hand to Lei Li under him, and said in a deep voice, but there was an indescribable loneliness in that tone.

"Your strength has dropped a lot."

Hearing the man's words, Lei Li, who was knocked down on the ground, also showed a wry smile, stretched out his hand to grab the hand that the man extended to him, and stood up.

"Hey, it's not that my strength has declined, but your strength has increased, Stuart, long time no see."

The burly man named Stuart nodded faintly when he heard Lei Li's words, but he touched the armed domineering color covering the wooden stick. The short stick returned to its original color, but it did not appear on Stuart. He stayed in his hands for a long time, and was directly thrown into the forest by Stuart.

Seeing that Stuart had lifted his arrogance, Raleigh also shook his head with a wry smile, and touched the wooden short stick thrown by Stuart in his hand, which was also attached to the armed color by himself, but the fate of the short stick in his hand was not The one in Stuart's hand was better than the one in Stuart's hand. The moment Lei Li touched the armed domineering stick attached to it, the smooth wooden short stick turned into powder, and disappeared into Lei Li's body with a gust of wind. Leigh's hands.

"This is……"

Even Raleigh was surprised at this moment, staring blankly at the sawdust slipping through his fingers.

"Your domineering mastery has also declined."

But the man named Stuart saw the miserable appearance of the short stick in Rayleigh's hand, but he still had that expressionless face and said indifferently.

Hearing what Stuart said, there was another wry smile on Raleigh's face.

"As I said just now, it's not that my strength has declined, but that you have become stronger."

At this time, Mandel and Gordon, who had been standing behind Rayleigh before, also came up. Seeing the two coming up, Stuart, who was standing opposite Rayleigh, also looked up at the two of them. Said in an annoyed tone.

"Hey, here are two bugs, long time no see, the helmsman, and the fat cook."

"You really haven't changed at all."

"cut."

Hearing what Stuart said, Gordon and Mandel rolled their eyes at him and said, but Stuart showed a smile, turned around slowly, and said to them.

"Let's go, I think you've seen and heard that I'm building a ship, and I know what your purpose of coming to me this time is, unfortunately that guy Tom is dead, but this stinky helm guy is here It's okay, hurry up, time is running out."
