Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Portgas D. Ace was arrested!

The World Government’s latest news was like a bomb. After the newspaper was sent to all parts of the world, it immediately caused a big sensation in the whole sea!

Everyone who got the newspaper saw the news headline and realized that it was very likely that this was a big event that could change the direction of the world!

Portgas D. Ace…

No matter what, it was impossible to ignore the impact of this man being arrested!

The World Government was even more knowledgeable about Portgas D. Ace’s background. They told the whole world about the details of Portgas D. Ace’s birth as if they did not care about how big of an impact the bloodline of Pirate King Gol D. Roger would have in the world!

But…

This was too shocking!

Especially in the news, the World Government was not stingy with their appreciation for Ace. The meaning of his words was that Portgas D. Ace was simply a real heaven-chosen person. If he was not arrested, he must be the next Pirate King!

From Spade Pirates to Whitebeard Pirates…

Portgas D. Ace seemed to be a subordinate of Whitebeard, but in fact, he did not lose anything because Ace would definitely carry the blood of Gol D. Roger and the will of Edward Newgate and be crowned as the new Pirate King!

The World Government did not spare the pen and ink and even somewhat exaggeratedly claimed that this Portgas D. Ace, who bears the fate of the great pirate era, would definitely become the new Pirate King with the support of Whitebeard, just like his real father!

It almost blew Ace into the sky…

However, one sentence causes the news to turn around. Portgas D. Ace, who was going to become the new Pirate King, was arrested by World Government, and the danger was killed in the bud.

The topic was first raised and then suppressed!

No, it should be said that this was a grease fire!

Obviously, the person who wrote this article was definitely not ordinary.

At the end of the news…

The name of a World Government official, Yakushi Kabuto, hung on it.

Kabuto, the man who made the sea change its color, casually left a sentence.

[One month later, Pirate King Gol D. Roger’s remnant Portgas D. Ace and Roger Pirates Ship Doctor Crocus will be publicly executed, at the same time, their executions will open the prelude to the end of the Great Pirate Era.]

Sabaody Archipelago.

Grove 13, Shakky’s Rip-off Bar.

An old man wearing glasses was sitting at the bar counter, looking down at the newspaper and drinking rum every now and then.

Even though the old man’s hair had turned white, his body still looked strong and energetic.

It was the vice-captain of Roger Pirates, Rayleigh.

As the vice-captain of the Pirate King’s ship, Rayleigh had witnessed the truth of the great treasure. He has already long retired into seclusion and no longer asks about the affairs of the sea.

Today, his expression was obviously not quite right.

“What’s wrong?”

The bar owner, Shakuyaku, was lying on the bar counter. She puffed out a smoke ring with a cigarette in her mouth and asked softly, “Seeing that Roger’s son is going to be executed, you finally can’t sit still anymore?”

“No.”

Rayleigh shook his head. His eyes fell on the last paragraph, and his voice was a little loud, “Little Ace is Whitebeard Pirates’ crew. We can’t interfere with the matters on that guy’s ship. This is the iron law of the sea…”

In fact, Rayleigh had already stopped paying attention to Ace.

Since Ace went out to sea, Rayleigh had paid attention to Ace’s growth and wanted to help him in the Sabaody Archipelago matter before. But when Rayleigh saw that Sasuke was invited to join Spade Pirates, he was completely relieved about Ace’s departure.

Rayleigh was once shocked by Sasuke’s strength. At that moment, he even thought that history has never followed the rules, and history may repeat itself in their juniors!

Even if Rayleigh had witnessed the great secret treasure and many prophecies, he could not help but think that Portgas D. Ace would be like Gol D. Roger, finding more and more companions until he defeated all the powerhouses of this sea…

Arrive at Raftel and becomes the new Pirate King!

Especially after the vice-captain of Spade Pirates, Uchiha Sasuke defeated Benn Beckman; even the Red-Haired Shanks were helpless against them. Rayleigh once thought that history might repeat itself!

In fact, Rayleigh was very happy in private.

This old man no longer believed in the so-called prophecy.

Rayleigh even calculated with great interest that Portgas D. Ace might be like them and would take more than a year to arrive at Raftel. At that time, it happened to be twenty years after the opening of the great pirate era.

At that time, Rayleigh had high expectations for Ace…

Gol D. Roger became the Pirate King and opened the pirate era. Twenty years after Roger’s death. His son, Portgas D. Ace, who was eighteen years old, reached the top again. A new era was opened again!

It just feels weird…

Unfortunately…

Everything about the Spade Pirates has changed.

Portgas D. Ace did not break the prophecy as Rayleigh had expected, breaking a history and becoming the new Pirate King. Instead, he was infected by the Whitebeard Edward Newgate and joined Whitebeard Pirates’ warm family.

From then on…

Rayleigh completely gave up on Ace.

Obviously, Ace was very young, and there is a powerful vice-captain like Sasuke by his side. Compared with the beginning of Roger Pirates, it was unknown how many times stronger they were, but the result was that he directly fell into a gentle hometown.

Perhaps…

This was fate?

In the past, Gol D. Roger borrowed a 2nd division captain from Whitebeard Pirates, Kozuki Oden. Because Kozuki Oden did not fulfill the agreement, the nonsense fate let Roger’s son goes to the Whitebeard ship to repay the debt…

According to the rules of the sea, if Ace joined Whitebeard Pirates, Ace would listen to Whitebeard’s orders.

Even if Rayleigh had a special identity, he would not interfere with Whitebeard Pirates’ family affairs, not to mention that he had retired a long time ago.

“You really don’t want to interfere?”

Shakky looked at Rayleigh and asked curiously, “But it looks like you really want to interfere!”

“That’s not because of Little Ace.”

Rayleigh slowly shook his head and reached out to support his glasses. He sighed and said, “What caught my attention was Crocus… The ship doctor on our ship is innocent!”

Yes.

Rayleigh shouldn’t interfere in Ace’s matter.

However, the ship doctor of Roger Pirates was really innocent. As the former vice-captain, it was hard to say that Rayleigh would turn a blind eye to him.

“Yes…”

Shakky nodded slowly and continued in a low voice, “The retired ship doctor, Crocus, has also been caught. The World Government should not let go of the vice-captain of the Pirate King, right?”

“That’s right.”

Rayleigh nodded and said in a deep voice, “Over the past few years, the World Government’s movements have been getting bigger and bigger. No one can understand what they are trying to do. Perhaps they are also trying to use Crocus to get me, this old man, to walk into their trap!”

This was not a baseless conjecture.

Rather, it was Rayleigh who had guessed it through World Government’s recent actions. He always felt that World Government wanted to catch all the enemies in the sea!

No, or rather, it was the strongest part of them!

At least from the looks of it now, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely not let go of the chance to save Portgas D. Ace; even if these old guys want their retirement to be stable, it is unlikely that they will miss this big event…

The Revolutionary Army, who had originally been hesitant about whether they should rescue their companion, after seeing the conflict between Whitebeard Pirates and World Government, the probability of them moving will definitely increase greatly!

“It’s really interesting…”

Rayleigh put down the newspaper in his hand and revealed a relieved smile, “A big event that will inevitably change the world, and may even overturn the order of this world…

The great pirate era that Roger created will either end in this war or become more prosperous in this war!

“Do you feel interested?”

Shakky slowly took a puff of smoke and whispered, “It seems that you won’t miss it. Unfortunately, I haven’t found Ace’s location yet…”

“There will be other people investigating.”

Rayleigh waved his hand indifferently and drank a mouthful of rum, “Moreover, the World Government has made such a big move recently. If they want to execute Ace and Crocus publicly, they will definitely publicize it…”

When he said this, Rayleigh picked up the ram on the table and was about to leave. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned and said, “There is one more thing, Shakky. If there are people that come here to gather information, then tell them my attitude!”

“I have already told them.”

Shakky took a puff of smoke and blew out a smoke ring. She then slowly said, “The Revolutionary Army got the news that Ace was arrested earlier. Garp’s restless son has been looking for allies he can find.”

Recently, the Revolutionary Army seemed to be very quiet.

However, in private, Monkey D. Dragon was constantly using his connection and using the intelligence advantage he had; he was looking for someone who might be recruited as external help.

This time…

It was likely a great opportunity to overthrow World Government!

Shakky spat out another smoke ring and continued softly, “Yesterday, before Ace’s news headlines were announced, the Revolutionary Army had already sold me this information and asked about your whereabouts and attitude. I have already given him an accurate reply. As long as something happens to Crocus, you old man will not stand by and watch.”

In the end, Shakky took a deep look at Rayleigh.

The two of them knew each other very well, and Shakky was also clear about Rayleigh’s choice, so she also helped Rayleigh to respond early.

“Wahahahaha…”

Rayleigh couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He shook the bottle in his hand and shouted, “Sorry to trouble you, Shakky! I’m leaving first!”

“Do you still have a coating job today?”

“Not coating.”

Rayleigh shook his head with a smile and continued, “I sold myself for 100,000 Bali yesterday. Let’s see if I can sell it to 200,000 Bali today…”

“Tsk…”

Shakky waved her hand at Rayleigh in disdain. She could not help but say, “Old man, you should be careful. Sabaody Archipelago is not that calm. Maybe one day, you old man may capsize in the gutter…”
