Makima's Request

"You are insulting me."

Rayleigh looked at Makima coldly and said,

He is already a crew of Roger Pirates, how can he work for the World Government?

Even if Makima saved his life, he would not accept such conditions!

Even if Black Order was not at odds with the pirates, it was still an organization of the World Government. Becoming its Admiral was equivalent to betrayal, and the most unforgivable crime for a pirate was betrayal!

No matter what they did, regardless of whether what they did was to endanger their companions, joining another organization without permission and keeping secrets from their companions was equivalent to betrayal.

"I see. That's what you think." Makima leaned back and chuckled.

"But I also expected to be rejected, but you should know that in order to save you, Roger Pirates will certainly deal with Aatrox, and you should know what the consequences of them fighting Aatrox are."

!!

!!

In an instant, the scene of blood staining the earth appeared in Rayleigh's mind.

Aatrox seemed to have appeared in front of him and easily defeated them with the power that could destroy the world. If not for Makima, he would have died without a doubt.

"You underestimate Roger too much. He will definitely succeed. Even if I am not your hostage, he will definitely face Aatrox." Rayleigh said in a low voice.

Yes, Roger was such a person.

Rayleigh was the one who accompanied Roger all the way, and no one knew Roger better than him.

Even if there was a gap in strength between him and Aatrox, he would definitely find him again, which had nothing to do with him being held hostage by Black Order.

"What a principled pirate." Makima praised, but the next sentence made Rayleigh feel like he was in the abyss.

She put one hand on the desk and leaned forward slightly. looked at Rayleigh with a strange look. She said softly,

"But what if I say that I have a way to seal Aatrox?"

!

"What do you mean?" Rayleigh was shocked.

"I have found Aatrox's weakness. Although it is difficult to send him back to hell, it is not impossible."

Speaking of this, she changed the topic.

"But generally, the evil pirates are very good demon vessels. The evil themselves will unconsciously attract the souls of the demons and let the demons released from Jewel of Four Souls come back to the world."

"I want to destroy those demons. Should I let Aatrox kill all the big pirates in the New World before I do it?"

"Are you crazy? There are not only pirates in the New World!" Rayleigh roared in anger.

Of course, there were not only pirates in the New World. In addition to pirates, there were also a large number of countries, and even some of the World Government's affiliated countries!

There were a lot of civilians in it!

"But what if I think those pirates should be killed? If they are killed, the demons will lose their high-quality vessels, and the probability of the Demon Lord coming again will be greatly reduced."

Makima still smiled and said, as if the life and death of the New World's residents could not attract her attention.

Rayleigh was suddenly speechless, because he found that he and Makima had completely different opinion.

In this half year, he actually figured out Makima's true identity. He knew that she was a demon hunter from thousands of years ago. For her, her era had already passed, and she naturally did not have attached feelings for the present world.

The reason why she was still dealing with demons was purely because of the natural opposition between the two forces and not out of responsibility like in the past. What did the destruction of this world have to do with her, a deceased soul from thousands of years ago?

Rayleigh finally understood. For the demon hunters who had lost everything in their past, they had nothing to care about. 

In fact, there was no difference between them and the demons!

"But as long as you become my subordinate, I can tell you the way to seal Aatrox." Makima continued,

"You should be aware about the conditions. Do not reveal your identity, listen to my orders and investigate whether the pirates are taken over by the demon."

"Of course, you can rest assured. My orders will never make you go against your own principles. As long as Roger Pirates is not infiltrated by the demons, you will still be Roger's Vice Captain."

After she finished speaking, Makima stood up. He did not care about Rayleigh's reply and left.

However, the contract was still on the table.

"Think about it carefully. I will give you some time."

Makima said in a tone that did not seem to care much.

Then, she opened the door and the outside world was once again reflected in Rayleigh's eyes. Although it was just another building, it was enough to slightly tempt him after being locked up for half a year.

However, the door was closed again, and in the empty room, only Rayleigh was left.

He looked at the parchment on the book table, maintaining a solemn expression on his face, and fell into deep thought.

...

On the other side, after Makima brought Sengoku to Pandora Room, during the three hours he cultivated his Psyche Power, Genichi finally began to count his harvest.

Although Aatrox brought great power and oppression, but because he had just used up all his savings, he did not care about the first harvest.

Until now, half a year had passed, and he could finally carry out the next step of the plan.

In this half year, Aatrox had been stirring trouble in the New World. After all, there was no such a good host as Bullet, and he could only kill pirates to maintain his body. Therefore, his killing could not stop, unless there was no more life in this world.

However, he did not meet Roger in these past six months. According to the news from Nameless, Roger was undergoing extreme training. He wanted to contact Black Order not long ago, but Makima had not replied to him.

Roger becoming stronger was good news for Genichi. The stronger he became, the better.

"Positive Emotion Points: 1425211!"

"Negative Emotion Points: 4521312!"

Tsk, as expected, it was the same situation where Negative Emotion Points rose rapidly, but Positive Emotion Points slowly climbed up.

Before, he had hundreds of thousands of Positive Emotion Points, but after half a year, it had only doubled. Most of the Positive Emotion Points was given by the World Government and Five Elders.
