*Creator’s Observe*

To those that requested the utterly comprehensible query of, Why even be taught from Mihawk at this level? The reply is that there’s a distinction between Human Swordsmanship and Anime Swordsmanship. The explanation his model does not have a reputation but is that it isn’t full. He nonetheless has a lot to be taught. Be at liberty to guess the identify of his model. (Will probably be apparent in hindsight.)

Chapter 59 First Steps within the Pirate World

There have been an excellent many advantages to having your personal trailer in a carnival. Along with having a non-public area to be alone, you additionally had a non-public area to not be alone.

Rayleigh rose from his mattress because the morning mild spilled via the trailer’s home windows within the crack between the curtains. The sixteen yr previous red-headed lady at his aspect stirred a bit however remained asleep, a lazy smile gracing her lips as her lithe kind hid beneath the nice and cozy covers.

She was the ringmaster’s daughter and she or he thought-about Rayleigh her stress aid companion. Such blatant objectification did not cease him from taking part in her instrument like a live performance violinist and eliciting a symphony of rapturous melodies from her along with his bowstring. He nonetheless hadn’t instructed her that the music she made when he performed her was hidden with Power Muffle, so she all the time tried to stay silent, and each time she succeeded in failing, a lot to her personal gratification.

Rayleigh didn’t use Power Muffle when stunning native ladies got here to him after a present and requested to see his sword, nor did he cover the music their duets usually generated from the environment. This often triggered stares of envy and admiration which had been tremendous, however the stares of the bearded girl spoke of extra which all eighteen of his Wills did not need to take into consideration.

Even understanding her inevitable destiny did not cease the fiery inheritor of the carnival from a weekly visitation. The most effective half was that as a result of she assumed that everybody heard the music he performed off her, once they did not give her understanding seems to be or judgmental stares, she thought that they had been taking part in ignorant for her sake, creating just a little conspiracy that she’d by no means determine.

It had been a couple of months since Rayleigh began the Swordsman Act and ticket gross sales had by no means been higher. Rayleigh nonetheless declined any and all concessions since he didn’t intend to proceed. He knew that his future absence would trigger a drop in ticket gross sales, so the funds he refused to take could be used to carry the carnival over and could possibly be saved up and used for the down cost of one other Carnival Experience or attraction to steadiness it out. They had been enthusiastic about getting a merry-go-round or bumper automobile rink. New novel chapters are printed on

Everybody knew that Rayleigh could be leaving quickly, however the truth that he was mainly donating what ought to have been his earnings to the way forward for the Carnival made it laborious for anybody to dissuade him. Rayleigh thought-about greater than as soon as if the redhead’s weekly visitations had been her personal concept or another person’s to permit him to kind stronger ties to maintain him right here. Alas, all of them knew that he solely joined the Circus to be taught from Swordsman, and so far as they knew, he was not getting out of Federal Jail anytime quickly.

Rayleigh had actually paid for Jacques’ household heirloom to be reforged by knowledgeable blacksmith that specialised in swords. The Cavalier’s Sword was in a particular container, together with the remainder of Jacques’ assortment in a long run storage unit that took its month-to-month cost immediately out of the account Ebook worm setup for his royalties from the books he’d written. Loads of the books he wrote offered nice, so the royalties from these alone would set him up for an extended whereas.

After making certain that Jacques’ assortment was properly taken care of, he despatched a letter to his imprisoned former instructor to tell him that every part could be properly preserved and rust free when he bought out. Rayleigh had no concept when or if Jacques would get out, however he had given the storage place particular directions to show the contents over to Jacques ought to he ask for it.

After getting up, Rayleigh bought dressed and began his morning exercise. It did not take too lengthy for his bedside companion to get up and greet him with a sleepy, “Good morning.”

Rayleigh replied again with a smirk, “Hungry?”

“Umm, sure. You cooking?”

“Not at the moment. Too busy.”

The redhead’s pout was decidedly cuter than her father’s, however nonetheless ineffective as he actually was fairly busy. At the moment was his final day right here in spite of everything, so the pair made do with some toaster heated frozen waffles from his mini-fridge earlier than he opened the door, confirmed the coast was clear, and despatched her off silently again to her personal trailer.

Like all the time, Rayleigh nonetheless assisted with the cleanup of the carnival whereas going to every carny and saying goodbye. When the bearded girl tried to present him an all encompassing hug, Rayleigh declined and vanished earlier than her and went to go to everybody else. He even mentioned his goodbyes, in public, to the ringmaster and his daughter after visiting their trailer.

The final goodbye was to Clint.

Understandably, Clint identified, “You already know, you by no means did inform me the place you had been going. You instructed everybody else you had been going to New York, however you by no means mentioned that to me.”

Rayleigh nodded, “I did not need to misinform you. For the following couple of years, I will be wandering round, and never simply within the States. You know the way simply I can choose up languages, so I can go wherever.”

On the point out of languages, Clint may solely nod with a sigh. One of many causes the Ringmaster let him do his personal act was that it was a reward for the truth that Clint had efficiently gotten his G.E.D. and Rayleigh had taught him extra than simply that. He was even capable of educate him three languages with ease.

Clint requested, “Will anybody have the ability to contact you?”

“I’ve paid to arrange a everlasting P.O. Field and somebody to have a look at it for me. Each every now and then I am going to name that man and ask him if I bought any mail, however I doubt I am going to even test greater than as soon as each couple of months.” Rayleigh may pay for one thing like that to be arrange by the Tavern, however he’d fairly put the hassle into doing it himself so he may spend his factors on one thing higher.

“What about your trailer?”

“On paper, I am promoting it to Rosaline and Bryce for $5000. However I am really simply giving it to them.”

Clint agreed that was a good suggestion. Clint bought Jacques’ trailer for the reason that man by no means got here again and Rosaline and Bryce, the acrobats, simply had some children and wanted extra room than their present trailer may afford. Their earnings had taken successful since she could not carry out whereas pregnant and needing extra money whereas having a decrease earnings makes every part worse, so few if any would complain about his resolution.

The pair talked about huge and small matters for 2 hours, deciding to proceed till they ran out of issues to say.

Clint acknowledged, “I am going to most likely depart myself after a couple of extra months.”

“Oh? You gonna get a desk job?”

Clint snorted. “No manner. However there are a whole lot of Archery competitions. The cash will not be sufficient to reside off, but when I showcase sufficient, I am going to get seen and would possibly have the ability to get some sponsors.”

“You imply like Nascar? You may get well-known and corporations pays you to put on a patch or one thing in public, promoting their model?”

“Yep. Assume it will work?”

Rayleigh felt a twitch within the Power and smiled. “Properly, I believe somebody will discover you. Yeah, go for it.” He did not get any pictures or particulars, however he did get a distinctly good impression so he figured one thing would occur finally.

After exhausting each topic they may consider, Rayleigh bought up and walked away. In contrast to with the opposite carnies, Rayleigh by no means mentioned goodbye. He knew he’d meet again up along with his buddy at some point.

As soon as each little element had been taken care of, Rayleigh hopped on a bus to New York Metropolis. When he did lastly return, he’d be coming again to the identical location he left, and since Ebook worm technically paid for his coaching for him to be her bodyguard, he’d a minimum of want to have the ability to return to New York shortly if it was required.

After a day and night time of bus journey, Rayleigh discovered a spot close to the sting of the town with out witnesses and bodily entered the Tavern. As regular, he regarded round for some acquainted faces and truly noticed a couple of sitting down at one of many wall aspect cubicles. The 2 seen him and motioned for him to return over. He wasn’t in a rush, so he walked over and took a seat subsequent to Miracle and Lord of Insanity.

“Hey guys, how’s life?” After he sat down, a bar maiden handed him his free glass of beer.

Miracle answered, “Properly, it isn’t boring. I joined the Order of the Phoenix.”

Lord of Insanity snorted and requested, “Does membership include a reduction at Kentucky Fried Rooster?”

Moderately than look insulted, Miracle answered with a smile, “No, however I used to be capable of be taught the Fidelius Allure.”

That introduced the pair up quick. That ridiculous spell was maybe probably the most damaged piece of magic within the sequence.

Lord of Insanity requested incredulously, “How? I heard nobody may discover that spell, irrespective of the place they regarded.” All of them heard about it of their third yr once they realized how the Wizard MC’s mother and father had been killed.

Miracle nodded earlier than answering, “Apparently, it is a Black Household Spell. Sirius was the caster for the Potters, that is why everybody thought he betrayed them, since he was each the spell’s caster and secret keeper. On the time, he could not educate anybody else the spell with out the Head of Home Black’s permission, however after he bought out of Azkaban, he was the top, so he may educate it to whoever he needed.”

Rayleigh regarded considerate for a couple of moments on that. Moreover being probably the most damaged spell, that spell additionally had probably the most plot holes of just about something within the sequence, second solely to Time Turners which Gamers couldn’t use. There had all the time been questions on why it wasn’t used to cover the Thinker’s Stone within the first guide, but Dumbledore may educate it to Mr. Weasley within the sixth guide. It appeared that after Sirius died, Dumbledore may educate it to whoever he needed.

Lord of Insanity requested, “However why did he educate it to you?”

Rayleigh reminded him, “She did say she helped him within the third yr.”

Miracle nodded, “Yeah, I helped him fairly a bit earlier than studying that the shaggy canine was a mass assassin, so when he requested what he may do to repay me, I requested for the Fidelius Allure. I am unable to educate it to anybody else, however I believe I is likely to be the one one who realized it. So long as not one of the different Gamers ask for it, I might need a monopoly on that spell.”

Rayleigh requested, “Obtained something good to cover?”

“Simply my backyard,” was her swift reply. It made the pair marvel what sort of treasures she grew in such a backyard.

Rayleigh requested, “Did Ninja Lord be a part of up earlier than getting killed?”

Miracle rolled her eyes, “No, that dumbass arrange a entice for Voldemort and tried to solo him. From what I heard, he realized the laborious manner that Magic Shields work on Jutsus.”

Lord of Insanity requested, “In order that’s it? That is how he died?”

Sure|No]

Rayleigh wasn’t the slightest bit shocked that the Id would value nearly each Mission Level he’d gathered in the previous few years. Rayleigh had been doing 250~350 Level Missions each week over the previous few years. Minus his day by day meals bills and preventing Pitou month-to-month, he had saved 24,095 factors. Purple initially quoted that getting Mihawk as a instructor would value 50,000 factors, however since Rayleigh had some ability and he was solely buying an id that had circumstances he wanted to finish so as to get classes, it was lower than half the worth.

Rayleigh requested, “How a lot will that cash get me?”

Purple answered, “A ship experience to the South Blue’s equal of Logue City after which some. You may have to determine the remaining out your self.”

“So I’ve to move to the Grand Line?”

Purple smiled, “What, you assume Mihawk reads information from the South Blue?”

Rayleigh accepted that this was level and clicked the Sure icon.

After confirming the acquisition, Rayleigh turned again to smile at Miracle and Lord of Insanity, with the latter responding with a vibrant smile of his personal. Along with his curiosity getting the higher of him, Rayleigh headed out of the Tavern towards his new life and stepped out the door.

After experiencing the ever acquainted feeling of his senses whiting out and coming again as soon as extra, Rayleigh discovered himself on a bench, searching at an open area with three boxing rings on the within of a Gymnasium. Males of assorted ages stood round both training, exercising, or watching the bouts from the health club members contained in the rings.

The very first thing Rayleigh did was try to use Haki. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work. Coming into the Hunter World unlocked the potential for Nen, but it surely did not give it to him instantly. The identical was true for Haki. He unlocked the potential for it, however he nonetheless wanted to show it on. He wasn’t involved although. If willpower was the important thing, he had nothing to fret about.

Pondering over his willpower, Rayleigh did a psychological test on his Wills and could not assist however smile. Yep. His guess was right. The eighteen Wills he shaped all obtained a lift. He felt like it might be far simpler to separate them and attain thirty-two or extra Wills sooner or later. He’d must do a couple of extra exams although to see the impact this is able to have total and learn how a lot his bodily power had elevated by.

“Hey, Billy. Try who’s smiling like a retard?”

Rayleigh regarded over at a pair of teenagers approaching him. He acknowledged them each from his recollections. The one who spoke was so fats that his neck couldn’t be seen between his chin and his chest. His identify was Tommy, and he was a Sure Man. His skinny buddy/future boss was the son of a grimy service provider and one thing of a giant shot. This teen had a little bit of ability as a boxer and used it to interrupt everybody he knew was under him to make himself really feel larger and higher. He was Billy, and it appeared that Ray’s smile had offended them each.

Rayleigh bought up and requested amicably, “How can I assist you two gents out at the moment?”

Billy sneered, “Properly because you requested, I do know precisely how one can assist me. I heard you borrowed some cash from Donny the opposite day. It simply so occurs that my pockets is just a little mild, so fork it over!”

That reminded Rayleigh of his backstory on this place. It appeared that his id had a couple of issues.

The primary was that he lived in a small area that belonged to this Boxing Gymnasium. He practiced Boxing in public and swordsmanship in non-public, however to reside and eat right here, he mainly labored on the premise as a punching bag. If somebody needed a sparring companion to punch, it was his job. Moreover meals and a roof, it did not precisely pay properly. The 2500 Berries he had weren’t his financial savings, they had been what he borrowed from a man everybody knew was not the nicest fellow. Donny gave him the cash and knew Rayleigh would by no means have the ability to pay it off with the compounded curiosity. He simply assumed that Rayleigh would lose the cash and be compelled to work for him totally free for the remainder of his life.

Solely Rayleigh knew that at the moment was his final day right here. He had skilled sufficient and it was time to depart this island. The cash he borrowed would by no means be returned, and there wasn’t a factor Donny may do about it. Nobody anticipated Rayleigh to do a runner.

The explanation that the earlier Rayleigh supposed to depart was that Karate Island was really a horrible place to be taught the sword. He may solely be taught the sword in non-public and nobody brazenly taught or used a sword in public. Even within the streets, gangs and thugs used martial arts and fists, not swords or weapons. This was inspired because it made the individuals of this island laborious and robust. If you happen to could not sustain, you’d die. Even these punks in entrance of him had been expert sufficient to be ranked in nationwide tournaments within the MCU. They had been solely just a little higher than common right here, however that was nonetheless so much higher than being common.

For the reason that character he inherited spent most of his time training the sword, the previous him was really not that expert at Boxing, so his prior self was used as a punching bag and measuring stick by the regulars.

After all, that was earlier than. In comparison with what stood there now, he was a very completely different particular person.

It was at this level that Tommy shouted, “Are you deaf or one thing you fool? Why have not you given Billy his cash but!?”

Rayleigh ended his recollection and regarded over the pair of scrubs once more, a gradual smile forming as soon as extra on his face. Now he understood why the Pirate Gamers had a lot enjoyable right here. The Tavern did not care what you probably did to assholes, and this world was crammed with them. The one downside was that Rayleigh could not consider what to do with these guys. There have been simply so many decisions. He put all 18 of his newly strengthened Wills to the duty and located the very best reply.

Rayleigh replied, “Properly, I am unable to simply hand it to you, there’s one thing I want to make use of it for. However there’s something you’ll be able to assist me get, and I might undoubtedly be prepared to present you every part I’ve for it.”

Billy did not anticipate a negotiation, however because the son of a service provider, his curiosity was robust sufficient to ask, “Oh, and what would that be?”

“Properly, if you happen to can ship your mom’s tremendous ass to my mattress so I could make her name me daddy, I might be prepared to pay you a premium for pimping her out.”

His father selected a trophy spouse and although Billy had not inherited something however her scrawny limbs, she was thought-about the primary Milf within the northern port of Karate Island for a motive.

Seeing the clean look on Billy’s face, Rayleigh questioned if Billy .EXE had crashed. His lackey regarded appropriately horrified although, so there was that. Nonetheless, Billy’s mind did finally reboot. The second it did, he shouted, “YOU’RE DEAD!”

Billy reeled his fist again and launched a haymaker at Rayleigh’s face. Rayleigh walked previous him with a lazy half step and kicked Billy’s foot out from underneath him, throwing him off his steadiness and inflicting him to crash into the bench Rayleigh had simply been sitting on.

Billy’s exclamation bought the Gymnasium’s undivided consideration, so each eye was on Rayleigh when he calmly walked over to the one empty Boxing Ring and mentioned, “I’ve bought a thousand Berries on me. Anybody can guess as much as that quantity and problem me. In the event that they win, they get what they guess. In the event that they lose, I get their guess. At the moment’s first taker is our very personal, Billy.”

By the point Rayleigh completed narrating his model of occasions, Billy had gotten up and ran over to the ring. He wasn’t silly sufficient to not hear Rayleigh’s declaration, however he did not plan to present any cash even when he misplaced so it did not matter. Not that he thought he’d lose.

Billy bought into the ring and did not even trouble with any Boxing etiquette and immediately slid ahead to deal the heaviest physique blow he may.

Rayleigh dodged with just a little twist and delivered a gradual wanting uppercut which despatched Billy a couple of toes off the bottom earlier than he landed on his again, unconscious.

Rayleigh regarded over on the crowd and requested, “Who’s subsequent?”

One of many bulkier wanting boxers, a darkish skinned veteran within the health club mentioned, “I am going to play.”

Rayleigh requested, “How a lot are you gonna guess?”

“One thousand after all. You bought it on you?”

“Yep. What about you? Do you actually have a thousand berries on you? If you happen to do not let another person come up.”

The boxer glared harshly at Rayleigh and requested threateningly, “Are you saying I am not good for it?”

Rayleigh regarded on the unconscious Billy and mentioned, “He hasn’t paid me but both. So to forestall losers like him from difficult me, pay up first. If you happen to beat me, it isn’t like I can run away.”

The boxer was dumbfounded at Rayleigh’s use of logic. It was the weak spot of muscle headed brutes, and it did not damage that Rayleigh implied that those that could not convey out the cash first had been losers. That triggered the person to return and communicate with a couple of others, borrowing some cash earlier than returning to the ring and handing it to Rayleigh. It wasn’t really a thousand berries, however 800. Nonetheless, it was higher than nothing.

Ray pocketed the money and stood in a boxer’s stance. A second later, the person swung out a lightning like left hook, aiming exactly for Rayleigh’s jaw. Rayleigh lifted his chin to dodge it and rushed ahead, delivering one other uppercut. Even supposing this man was 3 times heavier than Rayleigh was, this uppercut neatly knocked him out too.

Rayleigh then regarded out over the group, “Who’s subsequent? I’ve 2000 Berries now, so you’ll be able to guess that a lot you probably have it.”

Ten minutes later, Rayleigh had 5 thousand berries in hand and the boss of the health club was mendacity unconscious on the mat in entrance of him. The person was far stronger than most boxers within the MCU, however his precise ability was nugatory compared, so Rayleigh had nothing to be taught by utilizing Psychometry on his gloves. This Gymnasium was removed from the very best on the island in spite of everything.

Seeing that Rayleigh had worn out each one of many strongest members of the health club with out breaking a sweat, nobody stood in his manner as he left the health club, money in hand. Even the greedier members held again and plotted to ambush him at night time or the following day. None of them even thought-about that Rayleigh wouldn’t be returning.

After hustling sufficient cash to final some time with no need to commit any crimes, Rayleigh headed for the docks to get a experience off this island. On the best way, he picked up a newspaper and regarded over the entrance web page. Unsurprisingly, it was a well-known face. The sixteen yr previous captain of the Surprise Pirates, Surprise Girl, had raided a service provider ship that had been protected by a small fleet of Marine Vessels.

Seeing the image gave Rayleigh an concept that was accompanied by an unstoppable smile. Since these guys had been well-known sufficient to get on the entrance web page, may he make the information if he performed with them a bit? In spite of everything, quite a few these guys nonetheless owed Rayleigh a debt, did not they?

*Creator’s Observe*

Rayleigh won’t be becoming a member of the Strawhats. We had sufficient chapters of Rayleigh following the MC and going together with the plot. Now he’ll do his personal factor and get to play with the opposite Gamers.

After a whole lot of discussions about Haki, it was determined that it’s going to share properties with Aura within the sense that expertise that use it can’t be seen with out awakening it. So you probably have not woke up Haki, you’ll not see a man’s arm or sword flip black if he makes use of Armament Haki. If a sword assault makes use of Haki to chop at a distance, you will not see the power wave of the assault except you will have woke up Haki. Additionally, those that have woke up Haki can see Aura, and people who have woke up aura can see Haki. Weapons which have undergone everlasting ‘blackening’ are an exception. Anybody can see that these are black.
