*Creator’s Be aware*
Ray’s capacity to kill monsters that even the Pressure would not care about solely applies with out his Nensaber in the intervening time because of the Divine Script on the deal with.
Chapter 61 Coming into the Grand Line in Type
The little wimp and his two bodyguards took Rayleigh to a restaurant to debate the deal, providing to pay for the meal only for listening. Rayleigh wasn’t a pauper anymore, however that did not imply he’d flip down free meals.
After sitting down and ordering their meals, the little man who requested for cover launched himself. “My title is Gaston Ivanshore. These are my bodyguards, Ruiz and Soulette. They’ve served me for a few years and I belief them with my life.”
Rayleigh identified, “However you might be nonetheless searching for one other bodyguard?”
The elder of the 2 sword baring bodyguards sighed and added, “It’s as you say. My very own abilities have carried me far within the South Blue, however I concern they won’t carry me far sufficient if the younger grasp have been to come across the true risks of the Grand Line.”
Gaston continued, “That is not the one drawback. Though my father has a means for me to enter the Grand Line, I can solely take one particular person with me and we can not journey whereas armed.”
Rayleigh requested, “That sounds kinda suspicious. You’ve got a strategy to head to the Grand Line, however you’ll be able to solely use it with none weapons?”
Gaston chuckled flippantly, “That is an comprehensible response, nevertheless it’s as protected as may be. In case you agree, I can take you to my father and he can provide the particulars.”
Rayleigh requested, “Why me?”
Soulette, the identical elder swordsman answered, “If I have been to journey with the younger grasp, I must purchase a sword instantly upon arrival. There isn’t a assure I’d have the ability to get something value its weight in metallic. You, alternatively, don’t appear to be impeded by the dearth of a sword in any respect, from what I heard.”
Gaston’s eyes appeared to shine, “That is proper! The Marines who gathered up the wounded pirates yesterday talked all about you and what you probably did! Fifty pirates, all with exact sword wounds, but made with out a sword! You’re a satan fruit consumer, proper?”
Rayleigh shook his head, “I am not truly. I can swim simply tremendous. As for my capacity to chop with out a sword, that is simply my fashion.”
Gaston’s eyes widened once more in shock. “That is superb! I’ve by no means heard of a sword fashion that does not use a sword earlier than. Would you be prepared to take heed to my father about this provide?”
Rayleigh requested, “Cannot you inform me your self?”
“I am sorry. I truly do not know all the main points. This matter is essential to our household’s future.”
Rayleigh answered, “Positive, however after our meal.”
Nobody disagreed with that and a small feast was introduced out and loved earlier than they paid the invoice and headed out to the Ivanshore manor on the island.
The home might be thought-about opulent, however not cheesy, a tremendous line, however refreshing to see nonetheless. At the least the person had a wise sense of favor.
They handed six extra guards as they made their means from the entrance gate into the manor’s visitor receiving corridor. Rayleigh was served some respectable tea he loved for the couple of minutes it took for Gaston’s father to indicate up.
Rayleigh actually couldn’t assist being stunned on the determine of the person who got here in with Gaston. If it weren’t for the truth that the person wore an especially tremendous swimsuit, Rayleigh would have guessed this man was one other extremely paid bodyguard. Though the hair shade was totally different and he wasn’t principally bald, Rayleigh nonetheless wished to ask, Main Armstrong, is that you simply?
“Greetings! Thanks for listening to my egocentric request! I perceive you might be prepared to take heed to my proposal?”
As an alternative of answering, Rayleigh requested, “Is Gaston adopted?”
“Hahaha! That isn’t the case, he simply inherited extra from his stunning mom. She’ll be down shortly.”
Rayleigh shook the confusion away and answered the prior query, “Sure, I’m involved in listening to about this bodyguard place of yours.”
“Splendid! Please observe me to my research. I will clarify the main points for you.”
Rayleigh acquired up and handed a number of halls by way of the manor. The inside partitions have been naked of decorations and furnishings, implying that they had both been eliminated or that this home was just lately constructed.
The pair entered one other room that had a shelf of books and a number of other cartographic maps. A couple of of the bookshelves had little miniature ships in glass bottles.
The Main Armstrong look-a-like sat in a big chair on his facet of the desk and gestured for Rayleigh to take a seat in a comfortable trying one reverse him.
After Rayleigh did so, the person launched himself. “My title is Oscar Ivanshore. First, I wish to profusely thanks for not solely saving my son and his bodyguards, however for bringing these loathsome pirates to justice.”
Rayleigh requested, “Why did they aim your son?”
Oscar shook his head, “These damnable sea canine raid two or three villages a 12 months for provides, and the survivors of these raids have been solely these with fates worse than dying. My spouse’s little sister was one such unlucky soul, and I couldn’t stand by anymore. I paid a number of bounty hunters to search for the Six Claw Pirates, however just one discovered them and he did not make it. He seemingly instructed them that I privately employed him to kill these pirates.”
A heavy voice got here from exterior, “These filthy fucking bastards deserve Dying!”
Rayleigh turned again, anticipating to see one other bodyguard or one thing, however the one who entered regarded virtually precisely like Oscar, besides with out the mustache and with longer hair. Was this his brother?
Oscar acquired up and shouted, “Honey! Please meet the tremendous younger man who saved our son.”
Rayleigh used each scrap of self management granted by his eighteen Wills to not begin convulsing on the considered the sentence that had simply been spoken. This was the gorgeous mom Gaston inherited his seems to be from? How did they each look a lot alike however nothing like their son?!
The ‘lady’ acknowledged harshly, “I heard about him already. He ought to have fed these roaches to the sharks!”
“Now, now, honey. Since every was captured alive, they will get what they deserve, and what they deserve is much from a fast and merciful dying.”
Rayleigh could not assist however snicker on the concept of turning that meme into the best trolling prank on the planet. Even when he did not try this right here, he would positively attempt to pull that on somebody sometime.
The arrival on the Marine HQ was adopted by one other bag search. The center aged lady additionally requested, “Are both of you satan fruit customers?”
Rayleigh and Gaston each answered, “No.”
She then requested, “Would you thoughts leaping into the water to verify it?”
Rayleigh requested, “Will we’ve got time to take a bathe afterward?”
“That will not be an issue.”
Vacationers garments was made to dry simply even after getting submerged, so he had no drawback with leaping into the water, swimming a bit, and confirming that he didn’t sink like all Satan Fruit Customers did.
The lady wrote a number of issues down and mentioned, “Thanks. I will present you to the place you’ll be able to keep tonight. The ship to Enies Foyer can be leaving tomorrow morning.”
Each Island with a sizeable Marine inhabitants had a city hooked up to it and this one additionally had a lodge for visitors. The rooms did in reality have a bathe and Rayleigh might pay to have his sea water soaked garments washed and dried by the morning.
After the solar rose, they have been led again to the Marine’s docks the place they met a person who stood out greater than they did. The person wore what regarded like a designer shirt however his face was partially coated in metallic plates and he had messy hair and a perpetual sneer. Mentioned sneer didn’t wane as he regarded over the pair and mentioned, “You two had higher not trigger any bother otherwise you’ll must swim by way of the Calm Belt.”
Rayleigh briefly entertained utilizing telekinesis to remotely throw this man off the ship in the course of the evening. Utilizing telekinesis and clairvoyance on the similar time was a brand new talent he’d picked up because of the higher mastery of the Pressure he gained in the previous few years. What was even higher was that his clairvoyance was not impeded by doorways and partitions. Rayleigh might, doubtlessly, use his Clairvoyance to peek into the person’s room at evening, open his window with Telekinesis, and toss the person out the window. He might additionally use Pressure Choke by way of Clairvoyance, however he did not suppose anybody deserved that.
Nonetheless, the person had not finished something however say some unfriendly phrases. Reducing his life brief simply due to that was not one thing he was prepared to do. Rayleigh virtually hoped the person would antagonize him extra although, since he had a intestine feeling this was the type of man who loved kicking puppies.
The ship set to traverse the Calm Belt had a special form than the traditional ones. Utilizing Clairvoyance, Rayleigh might see that the underside of the ship was flatter and it had some paddles to propel the ship by way of the windless area of the ocean. What caught Rayleigh’s consideration although was that the underside of the ship appeared to be coated with one thing, however he did not know what.
The standard of Marine on the ship heading into the Grand Line was noticeably larger than those he met on the best way to the HQ. Even when they have been nonetheless cannon fodder, the cannon fodder on this ship would most likely have been capable of cope with the cannon fodder from the Six Claw Pirates.
One other noticeable distinction between the Marines on this ship from those on the prior ship was the self-discipline. On the destructive facet of that, this meant that nobody bothered to talk to Rayleigh or Gaston, leaving the pair solely capable of chat with one another. Rayleigh instructed random tales about issues that occurred within the Circus whereas Gaston instructed him a number of tales from his childhood and a few extra particulars about this world. Within the 4 Blue Seas, Satan Fruits have been uncommon. Possibly a half dozen or so Pirates in every Sea had one. This meant there have been most likely lower than twenty-five Pirates who had a Satan Fruit exterior of the Grand Line, but inside, there have been greater than two, three, or 4 occasions that. Most individuals within the Blue Seas have been fortunate in the event that they noticed a single Satan Fruit consumer of their life. Contained in the Grand Line, so long as you did not reside below a rock, you would be fortunate to not encounter somebody with a Satan Fruit who did not need to kill or rob you.
One of many Marines walked as much as them and mentioned the primary phrases they heard from a Marine since getting on the ship. “We’re about to go by way of the Calm Belt. Do not make a sound or attempt something humorous till we’re by way of.”
The sails have been raised and all the things that would make sound was secured. The paddles in conjunction with the ship have been fairly quiet all issues thought-about as they drove the ship ahead.
Having been on a ship for the previous few days, Rayleigh felt it was fairly eerie when the wind simply stopped. The paddles moved the ship slowly to keep away from disrupting the floor of the water as a lot as attainable. With out a fast paced car or the wind, there was no breeze to go their faces as they moved ahead. Stress rose within the ship and concern might be felt from nearly everybody.
It was apparent that some ships did not make it previous the Calm Belt, so he puzzled how those that did make it by way of. Was it good luck for them or dangerous luck for everybody else?
Rayleigh was the one one who was not anxious. If a sea king appeared, he’d attempt to say hello. If it wished to battle, he’d give it a battle. Worst case state of affairs if it sank the ship, he’d attempt beating one into submission and making it take him to an island. Properly, the worst case state of affairs was dying, however he did not really feel that he would die on this journey, in order that was by no means an issue.
After two hours of tense silence, the wind returned and a collective breath of reduction was heard from everybody on board. The sails have been lowered they usually virtually flew ahead.
Rayleigh was formally within the Grand Line now. He wasn’t positive at first, however now he did really feel that there was a distinction. It wasn’t a bodily factor, extra of a non secular problem. Just like the background music of this a part of the world was totally different from the remainder of the world.
Enies Foyer wasn’t too removed from the Calm Belt. The one factor that they had to concentrate to was the unusual and random climate and the Log Pose. From what he discovered of Marines that had been to the Grand Line, Compasses did not work right here. You both used a Log Pose to get from one finish to the opposite, or an Everlasting Pose which at all times pointed to the identical island. This ship had one for Enies Foyer so it would not get misplaced.
It solely took one other few hours to reach. Just like the South Blue Marine HQ, Enies Foyer was a large Marine Base with a city constructed into it. That is the place the similarities ended. Across the territory of Enies Foyer was a fence that went from above sea degree all the best way to the ocean ground and surrounded your entire island. This was to not guard the island however for the safety of ships that acquired too shut.
For some inexplicable cause, Enies Foyer was above what might solely be described as a gap within the ocean. Rayleigh’s Clairvoyance made him doubt his talents because the city sized island had nothing beneath it. It was held aloft above the opening within the ocean by a single strip of land.
Rayleigh had no alternative however to ask one of many smarter trying Marines, “How the hell does that work?”
The Marine smiled, most had the identical query once they reached Enies Foyer for the primary time.
“On the backside is the supply of the Tarai Present. It kinds a large whirlpool. Enies Foyer, Impel Down, and the Grand Line Marine Headquarters are constructed across the Tarai Present, because it permits us to sail from one to the opposite on the quickest speeds.”
Rayleigh’s Clairvoyance confirmed his phrases. At one finish of the opening was a port that led to an enormous door. That door led out to a swirling present. Their ship was heading for the port on the other facet, the one which had the strip of land that appeared to carry up the entire of Enies Foyer by itself.
The swordsman in him wished to sever that strip of land, sending the entire of Enies Foyer down into the opening. That will most likely seal up the supply of the Tarai Present and screw over the Marines in a bunch of various methods. If he left some survivors and allow them to take footage, he would possibly have the ability to get on the entrance web page with that.
However that will additionally require him to kill a number of hundred harmless Marines and their households that lived in town sized island. Yeah, he’d discover a totally different means.
After getting off on the port, they waited on the prepare station. The Sea Practice traveled from Enies Foyer to Water 7 over a floating set of tracks and was fairly dependable. Apparently, the prepare made noises that Sea Kings did not like, so they’d keep away from the trains and till now, that they had an ideal security document.
Fortunately, the Marines becoming a member of them on the Sea Practice journey have been thought-about off the clock and will converse with him leisurely. Because of this, Rayleigh might ask them concerning the varied Pirates within the Grand Line who made a reputation for themselves, what they have been doing, and the place they have been doing it.
The most important names he guessed have been Gamers in the intervening time have been the Lightning Pirates, Dragon Pirates, Bomb Pirates, and Marvel Pirates. They have been the loudest and messiest, although they weren’t the one ones enjoying round. Captain Jack of the Black Pearl had efficiently defeated a number of Marines that attacked them. Apparently, their solely crime was flying the Jolly Roger. Their crew did not even have an official title or bounty in the intervening time.
The Lightning Pirates and Dragon Pirates appeared to be working collectively, however the Dragon Pirates have been having a number of points. One of many Strongest Pirate Crews on the earth, the Beast Pirates, wished the Captain of the Dragon Pirates useless because the latter had the identical satan fruit because the captain of the Beast Pirates and Dragon Chef refused to affix him. It appeared that Dragon Chef was taking this in stride although. Each Pirate who got here after them was defeated, strengthening the Dragon man himself and his crew with each victory.
The most important and noisiest issues have been from the Marvel Pirates and Bomb Pirates. Each had robust crews and have given the Marines a Bloody nostril. Marvel Girl, the captain of the all-female Marvel Pirates, had a bounty of 83 Million in the intervening time, however it could most likely rise together with her string of victories. Dyna Would possibly, captain of the Bomb Pirates, already had a bounty of 105 Million berries, however that was not a lot attributable to his energy as the quantity of harm he precipitated.
The whereabouts of each crews have been recognized in the intervening time, making Rayleigh marvel if he might get an Everlasting Pose at Water 7 to go forward of them and mess around a bit.
*Creator’s Be aware*
Anybody know what I ought to name Captain Jack’s Pirate Crew?
He would not have a satan fruit by the best way.
