I summon the shadow army in Pirates - Chapter 139: Debt of 4.5 Billion Baileys
At this time, the Chambord Islands.
Because of the death of Draco, the World Government was very angry and immediately sent a large number of navy and CP0 to search for Rayleigh on the island.
“Ordered to search!”
In a tavern.
A large number of marines rushed in, holding a wanted poster in their hands, and began to identify the drinkers in the tavern one by one.
“Hey, wake up!”
A navy man shook the drunken man at the table awake, but he was surprised to find that he was a familiar person.
This drinker was the same Private First Class Dude who had asked Major General Coles what he would do next and finally quit the Navy on the spot a few days ago.
He was originally a twenty-year-old energetic young man, but now he smelled of alcohol and looked like an alcoholic.
After leaving the Navy, Dude was deeply aware of the darkness of the world.
Therefore, Dude has been staying in the pub, using alcohol to numb himself, gradually losing contact with the outside world, and giving up on himself.
“What’s up?”
At this time, after being shaken awake, Dude’s consciousness was hazy and somewhat unclear.
When the familiar navy soldiers saw this scene, they couldn’t help but sigh. He was obviously a comrade with a sense of justice, but now he has become like this.
Although the World Government covered up the death of Celestial Dragon Saint Carl Ross, almost all the navy soldiers who went to rescue him knew about it at the time.
After thinking about it in his mind, the marine felt that he should at least tell the other party.
“Saint Carl Rose is dead.”
“Huh? Who died?” Dude didn’t hear clearly, or he couldn’t believe the news he heard, and wanted to confirm again.
“The Draco Saint who caused the tragedy of the explosion in 29GR was killed. We are now looking for the murderer Pluto Rayleigh.”
“I shouldn’t have revealed this news to you, but I think I still need to tell you.”
Just because Du De had the courage to stand up at that time, the naval soldier thought that he should tell the other party the news, not to mention that he and Du De had a good relationship at the naval station.
The drinkers at the scene have basically been identified. No one like Pluto was found, and the naval soldiers also began to retreat.
Carl Ross is dead!
Du De looked at the backs of the naval soldiers leaving one after another. While feeling relieved, Dude suddenly felt a sense of humor in his heart.
Unexpectedly, pirates would come to execute this justice!
Dude raised the bottle, wanting to numb himself with strong liquor, but he found that the bottle in his hand was already empty, without any alcohol at all.
This world is really ridiculous!
But why is it that now that I hear the word “pirate”, my original disgust is much lessened?
Du De stood up. After walking out of the dark and gloomy tavern, he was greeted by a strong ray of sunlight, which made him subconsciously close his eyes. The feeling of powerlessness in his body began to dissipate, and new power appeared faintly in his body.
Dude stretched out his hand to block the sun, and could see a large navy on the island conducting investigations, looking for the murderer Pluto Rayleigh.
After he paused for a moment, he turned and walked towards his home where he was the only one left.
In this dark and chaotic era, Dude can no longer tell whether the navy is righteous or whether the pirates are evil.
Perhaps, justice does not distinguish between camps, and it is justice that brings the light of salvation to the world when darkness is oppressive.
He felt like he saw justice now.
It is not the justice written with strokes, but the justice that exists in people’s hearts.
…
In the eyes of the large number of people in the Chambord Islands, they were all a bit puzzled, not knowing what exactly happened.
Why does the Navy conduct such a rigorous search? Why did Pluto Rayleigh suddenly appear?
All they can know is that 74GR had a big explosion on Friday night. As for the specific people who died, few people know.
But if the people are careful enough, they will find that no Celestial Dragon will come down from the Chambord Islands for a long time.
In addition to the fact that Wulao Xing restricted the following Celestial Dragons and stipulated that they were not allowed to go to the Shampoo Islands without authorization, it was also because most of the Celestial Dragons did not dare to go.
They had already learned from the incident involving St. Karl Rose, and they were all afraid of being killed, so naturally they were not in the mood to go out and play.
On the Shampoo Islands, despite the full search efforts of the Navy and CP0, no trace of Pluto Rayleigh was found.
The other party has been hiding for a long time, and the World Government cannot find him for a while.
CP0’s strength began to recede, but the Navy’s intensive manhunt continued.
Coles needs to patrol the island every day, looking for the murderer “Pluto Rayleigh”!
Once traces of the other party are discovered, the world government will send forces to encircle and suppress them.
Of course, Coles was just pretending to be arrested.
After all, the real perpetrator who killed Draco, the Draco, was actually himself, and Pluto Rayleigh was just the scapegoat he was looking for.
This plan started from the design, and Coles had already made precise arrangements.
At the same time, he is also prepared for different choices of fate.
The plan was successful and everyone was fine.
When the plan failed, he broke out with all his strength, broke out of the navy’s siege, became a wanted criminal by the World Government, and started his escape career as a pirate at sea.
The worst outcome is that Coles fails to escape and is caught on the spot by the World Government. In that case, he can only resign himself to his fate, and his family will have the same escape route as Teacher Zefa.
Fortunately, everything is going according to perfect plan.
Nothing too bad happened.
After completing his patrol mission on the island, Coles returned to the naval station.
Although the atmosphere inside the naval station became tense, everyone felt much more relaxed because the explosion incident on the day of 29GR was finally solved in their hearts.
Coles stepped up the stairs of the Navy Building, came to the door of his office, and pushed in as usual.
Just, after pushing open the door.
Coles’ expression suddenly changed.
Because there was an unexpected person sitting in the office.
He was a white-haired old man who looked weak but was actually extremely strong.
He was wearing a light yellow brown shirt and a pair of brown cropped pants, exposing a pair of hairy calves.
A somewhat worn white robe was draped over his shoulders. It seemed that he was reluctant to change out of this garment because he had no money.
He has an old face with wrinkles, as if it has been weathered for a long time. There is a straight scar on his left eye and he wears a pair of rimless glasses.
Although the white-haired old man didn’t show any murderous intent, Coles felt cold all over.
Nothing else.
The real owner came to the door.
The appearance of the old man in front of him was exactly the same as the Pluto arrest warrant recently issued by the Navy.
It is none other than Silbaz Reilly!
Why did this legendary pirate suddenly appear in his office?
While Coles was shocked, he quickly thought and analyzed, and closed the office door with his hands.
First of all, Coles didn’t want others to find out about Reilly’s purpose.
Secondly, if Rayleigh wants to take action against him, this gate will not stop Coles from escaping, because he can use shadow swap to leave here at any time.
The act of closing the door can also make the other person relax a little bit of vigilance and communicate better.
“Pluto, Silbaz Reilly, we are searching for you everywhere. I didn’t expect you to be so bold and dare to show up at the naval station openly?”
Hear Coles’ words.
Reilly couldn’t help but smile. He took out a silver-white wine cup from his arms, opened the lid, and drank leisurely.
“The ‘Pluto Rayleigh’ that the world’s government outside wants to capture, isn’t it you?”
Coles’s eyes froze for a moment, because Rayleigh’s words had already revealed a lot of information.
The Navy is now trying to catch the murderer of Celestial Dragon Carl Ross, but Reilly said that the Navy is actually trying to catch him. So it seems that his plan that day was discovered by the other party?
If he was a legendary pirate like Rayleigh, then it would be normal for him to detect the surrounding area with his sense of sight and not find the other party.
“I do not understand what you are saying.”
Coles did not admit it directly. He wanted to see if Reilly really saw his plan, or if it was just a guess by the other party.
Rayleigh slowly put down the wine cup and said with a slight smile: “I remember that when you entered the Celestial Dragon’s mansion, you said something. You called yourself the ‘God of Death’, didn’t you?”
Coles was silent.
In the mansion at that time, after Karl Ross threw a small power rock explosive, all the guards in the mansion died.
He only relied on continuous shadow exchange to avoid the explosive attack.
Rayleigh could know this because he obviously sensed it with his Haki from not far away.
It seemed that his act of killing the Celestial Dragon was indeed discovered by the other party.
Coles’ plan was originally not afraid of Rayleigh coming out to identify it. After all, the navy would not choose to believe the pirates’ words.
But the matter was discovered by Reilly personally, and he was even targeted by the other party. This was obviously not what Coles expected.
Coles asked vigilantly: “So, what do you want?”
Since Reilly did not expose him without knowing the truth, it means that the other party must have a request, otherwise the other party would not come to his office alone to wait for him.
Reilly put away the wine cup in his hand and said: “Don’t be nervous, you are a very good young man, and being able to plan such a murder with almost no flaws shows that your wisdom is indeed extraordinary.
However, I, an old man with gray hair who is about to die, are pitiful. I am obviously seventy-five years old, but I didn’t expect that I would be wanted by the navy because of your matter. “
Then, Reilly touched his shriveled trousers: “Since I have shouldered such a serious crime on you, you must give me some money to compensate, right?”
Coles’s originally worried heart also dropped following Reilly’s words.
Based on plot impressions.
He knew that after Rayleigh settled in the Shampoo Islands, he became an old man who loved gambling. When he had no money, he even sent himself to a human trafficking site to make money.
Since the other party is asking for money, the next thing will be much easier to discuss.
After he joined the Navy, the bounties he received from killing pirates totaled more than 400 million Baileys. However, since the dead pirates could only receive 70%, he only received about 300 million Baileys.
In the small silver mine in Valleland, although part of the silver was previously auctioned off for double gemstones, there was still silver worth 700 million beli left.
All told, Coles still has a huge fortune of more than one billion Baileys.
As long as the amount Lei Li raised wasn’t too excessive, he could get it.
Coles asked: “How much do you want?”
Reilly showed a friendly smile: “No more, no more, just the amount of the navy’s reward for me, 4.5 billion beli.”
Coles’ expression turned cold instantly.
“Do not make jokes!”
Although he is not very interested in money, the 4.5 billion beli, even if he adds the earl inheritance from his family, is far from enough.
Lei Li stood up and said calmly.
“I have also considered your current situation, so let’s repay it in installments. I think I can live to be eighty-five, so I will give you a ten-year period.
Four and a half billion beli, I’m counting some interest on you. You only need to pay me 40 million beri every month, and I will help you bear this matter.
How about it, high-spirited young man? Isn’t this a great deal! “
What a bargain. Did you just say that you were an old man who was about to die?
While Coles was cursing in his heart, he quickly analyzed his own strength. He was definitely unable to fight against Rayleigh now.
However, his strength is growing very quickly. As long as he is given two years at most, he should be able to grow to the point where he can compete with the generals. By then, he will no longer have to fear Rayleigh’s control.
After thinking these things through.
Coles decided to temporarily stabilize Rayleigh and prevent his killing of the Celestial Dragon from being discovered by the World Government in order to maintain the status quo.
“Can.”
…
A few minutes later.
Pluto Rayleigh quietly left the navy station, and in his hand was a small box containing 40 million beli.
As for Coles.
He stood in front of the window, looking at everything outside with an indifferent expression.
Never imagined.
In just one day, he would go from not interested in money to an unlucky time traveler with a debt of 4.5 billion beli.
