Increased Difficulty? No, As Expected!

"Yes, she is Portgas D. Rouge!"

Rayleigh nodded in response. 

Rouge also didn't show any timidity when facing Whitebeard and greeted him calmly as she stepped forward and watched Whitebeard.

"Edward Newgate, Roger mentioned you often."

Whitebeard nodded, his face softening a lot, and asked doubtfully. 

"Well, so how did you guys end up in Alabasta?"

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh smiled wryly and said, "After the incident in Logue town, there is no room for the Roger Pirates in the entire sea."

"Now we are being chased by an endless group of mad dogs, and we can't get rid of them at all!"

"Whether it's the Ring of Eternal Life or Roger's son, World government will never give up!"

Whitebeard frowned, "Do you really have the Ring of Eternity?"

He hadn't really heard Roger mention it, so he was also little curious if the rumours were true or not. 

Hearing this, Rayleigh's smile became even more bitter: "If we really had the so called ring of eternal life, then Roger wouldn't have died. "

After hearing this, Whitebeard nodded in agreement. 

It is said that the ring of eternal life can even delay terminal illness, if there is one, Roger would not make that choice and surrender himself to marine. 

"So where are you going next?"

Whitebeard asked after a moment. 

Rayleigh pointed to the sky: "We originally planned to go to Sky Island. Although the hunt cannot be completely stopped by going there, but if there are fewer people, we can barely handle it."

"Well, it's a good choice. Only...." Whitebeard also agreed with this proposal.

"Why 'originally'?"

His gaze swept over everyone in the Roger Pirates as he thought solemnly but tacitly didn't probe any further. 

Rayleigh asked while looking at the group behind Whitebeard.

"Let's talk about your situation now, what's going on?"

Whitebeard was silent for a while, and finally Marco stood up and explained what happened in West Blue.

Rayleigh's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "It's that Mad dragon again?"

Whitebeard sighed: "Yeah, that guy is terrible. His future potential is not inferior to that of Captain Rocks back then!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who experienced the Rocks era all changed.

They understand how scary Rocks is, and if Will is stronger than Rocks, will they have to always keep hiding from now on?

Whitebeard said in a deep voice: "This trip to West Blue, in retrospect, there are always many unreasonable things which don't make sense."

"It's too weird that the treasure of the Rocks suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"

"I've been thinking about this question ever since I came out of the Gabi sea area, and finally..."

Whitebeard looked into Rayleigh's eyes.

"I realized that all of this is inseparable from the mad dragon. Even, all of this might have been choreographed by him. "

"That guy is plotting against me, plotting against the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Speaking of this, Whitebeard looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh of resentment. 

°°°°°°°°°°

After half an hour.

"Let us cooperate, Newgate!"

Rayleigh's low, serious voice came.

Whitebeard looked at Rayleigh: "What are you trying to say?"

Rayleigh took a deep breath before explaining solemnly, 

"Your strength is greatly weakened now Whitebeard. And even if you don't fight anymore for some time, it will take a long time to recover. But I think that Mad Dragon Will may not necessarily give you a chance to breathe!"

"Meanwhile, although our Roger Pirates have lost Roger but the overall strength is still there!"

"So here is the plan. Roger Pirates will be your support and in return you will provide protection for us and Roger's wife and son!"

This is something that came to his mind when he met Whitebeard.

After all, they can't hide forever. But with them alone, self-protection cannot be guaranteed over a long period of time. 

And Whitebeard's strength is strong enough. Even if it is Marine and the world's government, they dare not provoke him rashly. 

So, if the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are combined, even the World Government will have to weigh the consequences of attacking them.

The most important thing is that they know the people of the Whitebeard Pirates. They have fought and drank together and with Oden and Roger as the hubs, they don't have to worry that Whitebeard will betray them. 

On the other hand, the entire Whitebeard Pirates looked at Rayleigh and the rest of the Roger Pirates in surprise after hearing his proposal. 

Whitebeard frowned: "Rayleigh, do you know what you're talking about?"

Rayleigh looked serious: "Of course!"

Whitebeard looked at the rest of the Roger Pirates: "All of you guys think so too?"

Gaban smiled and said, "Isn't that good, I think Roger will have no objections either."

"That's right, everyone can sit down and drink together again in the future, just like old times. I have no objection."

"Yeah , let's see if those Marines and World government's lackeys dare to chase us in the future!"

Everyone in the Roger Pirates laughed.

As Rayleigh thought, everyone is very familiar with each other and there is nothing to reject.

Thinking of this, Rayleigh spoke again. 

"But....."

Everyone looked at Rayleigh, wanting to hear what he had to say again.

Rayleigh looked at Rogue, then at Whitebeard and slowly said: "I hope that the Roger Pirates can keep our integrity and instead of being spread out, be incorporated into the second team. In the future, Roger's child will inherit the captaincy of the second team in place of Oden. "

When Oden was mentioned, everyone was silent for a while.

After a few seconds, Whitebeard laughed suddenly: "So be it!"

He looked at Rogue and her round belly: "From now on, this child will be my adopted son!"

At this time, Will didn't know that because of himself, the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates were combined.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. After all, this was within his expectations.

Moreover, after the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were mixed together, although the difficulty increased a little, but it also saved him the effort of searching for them separately. 

But these are the things to come in future. Right now Will was facing another situation. 

"Guy is gone?"

Will frowned and looked at Hina.

"Hmm!" Hina nodded her head.

"Hina and Guy Lee went shopping. But then she disappeared mysteriously."

"Are you sure it wasn't because you were playful and ran around by yourself and lost Guy Lee?"

"She's not still searching for you on the island, is she?"

"Crack!" Hina slapped the table angrily: "Hina is not playful. Hina is not a child anymore!"

"Tsk!" Will looked at the little girl's furious look in amusement and said sarcastically:

"Since you're not a child, then is Guy Lee a child?"

"Ah, it's really not Hina's fault that Guy Lee is lost!" Hina said angrily.

"Really? Well, what a loss!"

"Tsk!" Will shook his head and sighed.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Guy slipped away by herself.

At most, the next time he meets her, he will let her pay the price for deceiving him. 

But if not, then it is really troublesome. 

After a little thought, Will took out the phone bug from his pocket.

"Porp porp..."

"What's the matter?" Kaido's voice came from the opposite side.

"You haven't left Faerun Island yet, right?" 

"No, but we'll leave soon when the supplies are ready!"

Kaido replied. 

"Then don't rush to leave!"

Will said calmly. 

Kaido over there was taken aback: "What trick do you want to play now?"

It's really because Will cast a big psychological shadow on him. If the other party talks about something, it will definitely not be a good thing.

" Guy Lee is missing, ask your subordinates to help find her!"

Kaido:"..... "

(Fuck , Laozi is not your subordinate!) 

"Alright!"

Although he was cursing him in his heart but he said something else. 

Subsequently Will hung up the phone directly, and Kaido stared blankly at the phone bug in his hand.

Suddenly, he raised his hand high and was about to smash the phone bug in anger. 

"Mr. Kaido!"

King reminded at the right time.

"Hmph! I'll bear with him one more time!"

With a snort, Kaido got off the boat while cursing.

"Scatter everyone, find that bitch Guy Lee. "

A search operation begins on Faerun island. 

The whole Isle of Faerun was in a panic because of Guy's disappearance.

And as the culprit who caused the riot, Guy Lee, at this time she was in the cellar of an abandoned yard.

Her face was very ugly.

On the opposite side of her is Oro Lake of the Oro family who has a grudge against her.

"Hehehe... ․ hahaha...."

Seeing Guy's arrival, Lake first smiled lowly, then started laughing loudly. 

On the other side, Guy Lee's complexion was getting uglier.

"Lake, I'm here. Now tell me where is it?"
