Chapter 69: Publicity of the Marvel Pirates

Chapter 69 Publicity of the Marvel Pirates

Rayleigh sat in a small cot within the cargo ship’s crew quarters with an previous newspaper in hand. His battle towards Vice Admiral Momonga and his ‘minor contribution’ to driving away Wild King from Gilliad island had been compiled right into a web page 5 story. Had Captain Bogard not made him appear to be a toddler, it might need develop into a web page two or three story, however the present scenario nonetheless fell inside the plan’s expectations.

His good points from the Bogard battle have been price excess of a second-page story, because it was pointless for him to have something however a first-page story and he already had plans for simply that.

Though he misplaced to Bogard, the person didn’t inform anybody he would take Rayleigh as a scholar and nobody within the Marines had the balls to drive Vice Admiral Garp’s Quantity Two to do something, and since he was not technically a Vice Admiral, nobody pushed for Rayleigh to affix the Marines after the match.

Regardless that he was not a Marine, he was nonetheless in a position to make use of the great popularity he gained from the lives saved on Gilliad and Goddess of Ice’s suggestion to board this ship that will be robbed by Marvel Lady in a few hours.

Along with his earlier entry within the information making certain that he was now not a no identify, his subsequent entry ought to be capable of attain the primary web page. After all, he would nonetheless ask Marvel Lady to surrender the assault and not using a battle. If she actually agreed, Rayleigh’s means to drive off the Marvel Pirates and not using a battle ought to nonetheless be a web page two story, however he’d nonetheless have to get a entrance web page entry as a swordsman to satisfy the circumstances that Mihawk’s tutelage required. That being mentioned, Rayleigh didn’t really feel he would want a plan B, since every little thing about Marvel Lady’s character confirmed that she was willful to the intense.

Marvel Lady, similar to Titan, Dragon Chef, and himself, was an Enhancer. She didn’t have a satan fruit however in response to Goddess of Ice, she had the very best Haki and Nen proficiency on this half of the Grand Line and practiced a Vibration primarily based Martial Artwork that closely amplified the harm of each considered one of her punches. Contemplating how energetic she was, Marvel Lady additionally had essentially the most reside fight expertise on this half of the Grand Line. Dyna May picked a battle together with her a couple of months in the past and bought One-Shotted. His explosions couldn’t even depart a scratch by way of her Armament Haki and Ren.

There was in fact one thing nagging at him. It actually appeared like Marvel Lady was sturdy sufficient to outlive within the second half of the Grand Line. So why was she staying right here, robbing issues? It could be one factor if she challenged the Vice Admirals for fight expertise, however she at all times fled when one confirmed up, solely beating up Rear Admirals and leaving them alive. It was apparent that she was avoiding the eye of the Admirals by pretending to run from the Vice Admirals, however why hassle?

If it was one other sort of Participant, then Rayleigh would not discover it odd, however since Marvel Lady was an Enhancer, she ought to have the identical drive to battle sturdy opponents since Enhancers bought stronger after such fights. That meant she needed to be after one thing that had extra worth than battle.

Along with his curiosity peaked, Rayleigh bought up from his cot and did one thing he was instructed, virtually at gunpoint, to not do when he bought on the ship. He went to the Cargo maintain.

Rayleigh erased his presence utilizing Zetsu and Pressure Stealth. He was nonetheless seen, however not noticeable. After strolling down a couple of flights of stairs, he handed by some males in fits that didn’t appear to be pushovers. They didn’t discuss or move the time talking to one another, they merely stood and stared, so their consideration couldn’t be diverted as simply.

Earlier than both may say something, Rayleigh related to the pair utilizing his Empathy and mentioned, “Nothing to see, nothing is mistaken, go about your online business.” Rayleigh then made himself really feel apathetic, calm, and disinterested, one thing he then transmitted to the pair utilizing Thoughts Trick as he walked previous them.

Each misplaced curiosity in him as he walked previous their line of sight, which made them lose consciousness of him due to his Pressure Stealth and lack of a presence.

After turning one other nook and a protracted corridor, Rayleigh discovered the inside ship entrance of the cargo bay. When the ship docked, the outside of the ship could be opened to rapidly unload the cargo, however contained in the ship, this was the one entrance to this area whereas crusing.

The doorway had a really formidable wanting lock on a steel door with a steel body on what he now acknowledged as a steel wall disguised as a picket one. Now that was attention-grabbing. He did not really feel the presence of any life on the opposite aspect, so there have been no guards or slaves inside, however what required a lot safety?

Rayleigh held the lock and used Psychometry. He noticed the lock being set on the door, he noticed the form of the important thing, and he even noticed the lock being assembled. Since he knew the interior mechanism, he may simply use some Telekinesis to shift the hidden items and unlock the bolt without having to show the tumbler or set the pins.

A utilization of Pressure Muffle ensured that the popping of the lock and the opening of the door was not heard by others. When Rayleigh peered inside, he noticed lots of of rolls of silk. Was that it?

Not satisfied, Rayleigh used telekinesis to maneuver the rolls of silk and in doing so, revealed the large, silk coated dice hidden behind the large piles. One other utilization of telekinesis eliminated the sheet and an enormous dice fabricated from some form of bluish stone might be seen. On a single aspect was a considerable amount of unrecognizable symbols carved into the floor.

Not having the ability to withstand, Rayleigh touched the dice with the intention of utilizing Psychometry, however the second he did, a Pop-Up message appeared in his Participant Interface.

[You have Discovered an Easter Egg, the Instructional Poneglyph #3. As the first Player to touch it, a Treasure Map has been deposited into your Inventory. The Map cannot be returned to the Inventory once removed. In addition to the treasure, the first Player to find the treasure located on the Treasure Map will be awarded 10,000 Mission Points.]

Eh? This factor was an Easter Egg just like the Tho Yors of Typhon? Rayleigh tried utilizing Psychometry on the stone, however the info he may obtain was being blocked. He tried utilizing Shatterpoint to see the block’s weak level, however even that was being blocked. It appeared that the Tavern did not need Gamers to spoil the thriller of this factor so simply.

Rayleigh thought of copying the traces of textual content on the stone, however he doubted he’d be capable of do something with them, so he returned the silk sheet over the block, set all of the silk rolls again the place they have been, and exited the room, leaving it precisely like he had discovered it.

One other use of Thoughts Trick allowed Rayleigh to move the guards a second time with out being observed or questioned, and he solely began serious about the Easter Egg after returning to his cot.

No less than that defined why Marvel Lady was coming. Along with his present energy, Rayleigh may move a 500~700 Level Tavern Mission per week so long as he did not get unfortunate, and he doubted many Gamers may say the identical since he had quite a lot of benefits like his Psychometry for investigations and his velocity for journey and escape. Even for him, 10,000 factors would take 4 months to build up, so it wasn’t a small sum. Mission Factors might be used to buy Straightforward Masteries, convert gadgets into Stock Objects, and use the Participant’s Area.

Possibly the rationale Marvel Lady stayed within the shallow finish of the kiddy pool was to seek out these Easter Eggs and use the factors to battle within the Area. A battle within the Area was solely actually costly the primary time you bought it. If Rayleigh paid to battle Netero once more, it will solely price a fraction of the preliminary worth since Rayleigh already knew most of Netero’s expertise. If he ever fought Netero and bought him to go all out, revealing all of his expertise, then the value of preventing him could be even cheaper.

For all Rayleigh knew, Marvel Lady might be sparring with Garp, the Admirals, and the 4 Emperors of the New World every single day. If that was the case, every little thing would make sense.

After all, it was additionally attainable that she was losing factors on frivolous and ineffective crap, however Rayleigh did not suppose that was attainable.

Rayleigh puzzled if the opposite Gamers knew about these Easter Eggs. He recalled that the Participant Shadowcat was a thief who may transfer by way of partitions, so she might need found it.

After pondering for a bit, Rayleigh arrived on the most certainly state of affairs. The fellows in fits have been brokers of the World Authorities, so that they have been those accountable for shifting these blocks. As for why they have been being moved, Rayleigh guessed that it was Shadowcat’s fault. If they found that somebody who may swim by way of partitions was on the lookout for this stuff, then no quantity of safety was sufficient. They needed to be moved, maybe frequently.

So how did Marvel Lady know that this block could be moved on this ship on today? Rayleigh had some suspicions. If he was proper, then Marvel Lady would abort the assault with out even showing, so the present of him driving them away would by no means be seen.

Fortunately, Rayleigh had a means to make sure that did not occur. He began reciting his Pressure Code. After some trial and error, Rayleigh figured that if he devoted sixteen Wills to reciting his Pressure Code on the identical time, he solely wanted to recite it twice as an alternative of 3 times. As soon as he had thirty-two Wills, he may dedicate all of them to reciting the code and solely have to recite it a single time to materialize the Empty Sword or the Sword of Babylon. Not useable throughout battle for the time being, however higher than nothing for now.

As soon as the Empty Sword materialized in Rayleigh’s palms, he robotically entered his Second Stage Zetsu, fully chopping himself off from the Pressure and his Aura. Why do that? As a result of it additionally had the impact of constructing him virtually invisible to Clairvoyants and Precogs.

A number of hours later, a Excessive-Velocity Luxurious Yacht might be seen dashing towards the path of the Cargo ship and the pair of Marine Vessels guarding it.

Marvel Lady sat in a cushty chair lounging within the solar and seemed to the aspect to see the opposite two Gamers in her crew. A thin lady together with her black hair tied right into a ponytail performed on a cellphone. It did not have a sign but it surely did have quite a lot of video games that labored with out one. Subsequent to her was a teen with lengthy, auburn hair flowing within the wind and staring off into the gap. Marvel Lady requested her, “Do you See any issues?”

All Seeing Prophet shouted, “It is over! Let’s go! Now!”

Marvel Lady was much more prudent than she led others to consider, so she heeded the recommendation of the girl she knew may peep into the long run and jumped again to her yacht earlier than ordering her helmswoman to sail away.

Glitter turned again to regular, bought up from the ground, and shouted, “I am unable to consider that man! I am gonna get again at him at some point.”

All Seeing Prophet rolled her eyes and picked up the thing that Rayleigh had thrown at Glitter. It was a well-known wanting roll of paper. Marvel Lady acknowledged it instantly and mentioned, “He gave us the Map?!”

All Seeing Prophet answered, “I attempted to learn his thoughts utilizing my Satan Fruit however I bought blocked. His Pressure Mastery is on the Jedi Grasp degree. Inside his head, he instructed me that he had not seemed on the map, that he had no real interest in it, and that he would give it to us if I agreed to persuade you to go away. You possibly can’t lie whereas inside your personal head, so I knew he was telling the reality. He actually did not need the treasure and so long as we do not say something, he will not both.”

Marvel Lady seemed perplexed and requested, “Then why did not he simply give us the map initially?”

All Seeing Prophet turned her head away and mentioned, “He needed some good photos.”

“Photos?”

It was at that second that Glitter, who had gone inside, got here again out with a change of garments and handed them to Marvel Lady. Seeing these, Marvel Lady seemed down and realized that her garments had develop into a totally tattered mess, barely protecting something.

As soon as the belief hit her she shouted once more, “PICTURES?!”

She requested herself how she hadn’t observed her state. Then she remembered what Rayleigh had mentioned to her, ‘You need to pay extra consideration to our battle, and fewer consideration to issues that do not matter.’

After being instructed one thing that, on the time seemed like excellent recommendation, she did cease serious about something however the battle, not noticing the state her garments had been minimize into afterwards. In hindsight, it had clearly been a Jedi Thoughts Trick. Swordsman truly used a Jedi Thoughts Trick on her. Earlier than that time, he had not focused her garments so she had no purpose to suppose that he would have stooped so low.

Glitter, attempting to remain constructive, mentioned, “No less than we do not owe him a favor anymore.” She was upset at the truth that Rayleigh had moved her whereas she was within the type of a diamond. It did not take a genius to understand that she may have been tossed overboard simply as simply as being tilted over, and she or he may solely grumble at the truth that she forgot that Swordsman may try this.

All Seeing Prophet, somebody who may See what a debt to Swordsman actually meant, shook her head. “No. It could have been one factor if we actually did depart when he requested, however we didn’t and solely left after he bought his photos and gave us the Map in trade. The debt stays.”

Marvel Lady turned to All Seeing Prophet and requested, “How dangerous is it?”

All Seeing Prophet awkwardly shrugged and mentioned, “Glass Half-full, at the very least you may make the entrance web page of tomorrow’s newspaper.”

Marvel Lady’s scream of frustration echoed to the sky.

Rayleigh, again on the Cargo ship, obtained glowing commendations from the Retailers and Cipher Pol Operatives. Rayleigh was stunned that the latter didn’t ask him to affix them since he figured they might need to recruit him after the Marines failed to take action, however he did not know that Cipher Pol solely recruited youngsters and orphans so that they might be brainwashed from a younger age.

Though he had an empty feeling from the standard of the battle, at the very least he confirmed that his psychological defenses towards thoughts readers labored simply tremendous. After that incident with the Phantom Troupe, he’d by no means been in a position to check if the defensive measures he put into place had any impact. The outcome was that the Peeper wasn’t in a position to see his ideas, recollections, or a number of cases of Wills which let him hold {that a} secret.

Even when the battle was missing in comparison with his expectations, Rayleigh was at the very least glad that the cameraman confirmed that he bought a couple of golden pictures. His eyes have been shining brightly as this was the primary time Marvel Lady had been defeated and pushed again by somebody who wasn’t a Vice Admiral. It was additionally the primary time somebody had harmed her garments since her Ren normally deflected assaults and stored her garments secure. From the attitude of the witnesses, it appeared that Rayleigh was unable to injure her at first, then bought stronger and was in a position to minimize her garments. If he bought even stronger, maybe he may have minimize her down, so it made sense that she ran away on the time.

Nobody thought that she had run due to the state of her garments because it seemed like she hadn’t cared about them through the battle. So long as the story stored this in thoughts, it will not make Rayleigh appear to be a whole scoundrel who tears off the garments of each pirate he meets.

Rayleigh’s subsequent job was to seek out Mihawk. This was the principle purpose he gave up the treasure map. He did not have time to search for treasure and had significantly better issues to do, like be taught Haki from this world’s primary swordsman.

There was the slight problem that Rayleigh had no concept the place Mihawk lived and the truth that he typically traveled randomly did not assist issues. For anybody else, this job could be a thousand instances tougher than getting into the Grand Line. For Rayleigh, he simply needed to depend on the almighty energy that was his Pressure GPS.

After receiving the thanks of the varied events and confirming within the Pirate Chat Room that Marvel Lady hadn’t mentioned something, Rayleigh began meditating on the trail that will lead him to Mihawk.

The following day, as predicted, Rayleigh and his lengthy sword appeared on the entrance web page of the Grand Line Information alongside aspect the decided wanting Marvel Lady. Rayleigh didn’t minimize something necessary and the image was at greatest PG-13, however the partially revealed pores and skin left loads to the creativeness and Marvel Lady’s notoriety did the remaining.

With that paper in hand, Rayleigh picked one other service provider ship to protect through the voyage and headed off as soon as extra. Three days into the journey, Rayleigh jumped off the ship and began sprinting alongside the water in a sure path, a lot to the crew’s confusion.

A half hour of operating later, Rayleigh encountered a misty, muddy, muggy island that seemed proper out of the set of a Tim Burton film. Considerably near the shore was an enormous citadel. Because the Pressure had led him to this island, Rayleigh puzzled if the occupant knew the place Mihawk was.

*Creator’s Notice*

Kuraigana Island is on the Paradise aspect of the Grand Line, so that is attainable by way of the almighty energy that’s Pressure GPS.

Marvel Lady represents a Participant that’s simply attempting to have enjoyable. She purchased the “Enhancer Aura Kind, Do not Change Character” trait throughout character creation, so Rayleigh fully misinterpret her intentions as what he would do. She is an above common Participant at greatest. At first, there will not be a lot of a distinction between above common gamers like Marvel Lady and expert gamers who apply loads like Goddess of Ice. Later although, there can be an enormous distinction. Expertise solely takes you to date on this sport.

The one time I change to a different particular person’s perspective is for comedic worth, like displaying Nick Fury getting annoyed. Even then, I’ll solely ever do it if the opposite particular person is within the neighborhood of Rayleigh or serious about him or speaking about him. This story solely has One MC. Everybody else can have their adventures, however I want to go away these to the reader’s creativeness.

Utilizing the Pressure to see the long run does not work for individuals who 100% lack the Pressure, that is canon. I used this to justify that when Rayleigh makes use of Second Stage Zetsu and fully cuts himself off from the Pressure, he’s invisible to these wanting utilizing the Pressure and different comparable means. Because of this when he stays on this state, he’s invisible to all technique of future sight. When not invisible, he’s fuzzy to future sight on account of his large presence within the Pressure making it tough to see by way of, although it will get clearer the nearer to the current the tried prediction is.

There can be 5 Prophets, all women, one for Every Class apart from Ninjas. I am unable to consider a single means that the Ninjas can see into the long run. The Prophets cannot do a lot for the time being however can be very spectacular by the beginning of the MCU Arc.

For now, it is lastly time to be taught the sword from Mihawk.
