Chapter 57: Fun with Rayleigh, New Members Recruited

When Narmi said that, all of them were shocked, including Rayleigh. Although some people knew of him, but he really sure Narmi wasn't one of them. So, he increased his vigilance. This is all due to his observation on Narmi's power and knew he wasn't his match.

But then, he peered deep into Narmi's eyes. He did that as he wants to know Narmi's intention of coming here. But what he saw and felt was only Narmi's respect and admiration.

'A man with power that stands above all, had a deep respect and admiration towards me. If he knows about me, then he should know my power is below him but he still respect and admire me. This means he came here without any ill intentions. What a foolish action for me to increase my vigilance.' Rayleigh thought while a smile was forming on his face.

Suddenly, laughter filled the bar as Rayleigh laugh out loud. He then hug Narmi on the shoulder and brought him to the bar counter.

"Shakky, give this boy some beer. We will have some conversations among us. Hahaha."

Shakky saw her husband bring Narmi to the counter, served all of them with beers. She knew if her husband didn't put up vigilance that means the opposite party didn't have any ill intentions.

"So, what should I call you? Silvers-sama? Rayleigh-sama? Ray-san?" Narmi asked

"Haha, call me Ray-san. You don't have to treat me as if I am a respected elder. We both are on the same standings."

"Hahaha okay then Ray-san. By the way, let me introduce to my crew. Those three there is Nico Robin my girlfriend, Henry and Nami. While the former slaves are Chris, Holly, Anna and Maria."

"Hello there. As you guys had known from him, I am Silvers Rayleigh. In the past known as Right Hand of Pirate Kings. You can just call me Ray-san."

All of them stand and bow their heads towards the prominent figure in the past. Never could they thought, they would meet someone that had been with the infamous Pirate King. But, seeing as that figure talk casually, they then join in on the conversations.

"Ray-san, I actually came to this bar to hired a coating specialist. We are headed for New World. Although with my power, we could just teleport there but it would become less fun as we can't enjoy the scenery underwater."

"Ohh, Coating Specialist? I am the one. I can help you to coat your ship, but with a price."

"Of course, nothing in this world is free after all. I will pay for the service."

"That's good then. With that payment, I could enjoy the alcohol. Hahahaha"

The others thought that this Right Hand of Pirate King had a very carefree attitude. They originally thought that he would act dignified with his past. But they didn't mind as this would help them to know him better. The bar was filled with chatter and laughter with their conversations.

"That's right. What are you going to do to those Celestial Dragons?" Rayleigh asked "You do know that World Government will sent someone to take them and deal with you right?"

"I do know that they would send someone to deal with me. I'm keeping all of them alive so that I could kill them in front of anyone that they sent to me. I want them to feel the despair that they couldn't save them." Narmi said. A wicked smile appeared on his face

'This Narmi is really fearless. Keeping them alive so that he can kill them when the time comes. His confidence is very high.' Rayleigh thought.

"Well, if that what you want I wouldn't stop you. But, if you need any help, you can ask for my assistance." Rayleigh offered

"Thank you for the offer, Ray-san. I would call you whenever I need your help. You too if you ever need help, you can ask for my assistance. I would come as fast as I can."

"Haha thank you. I would take up on that offer when the time comes. The Celestial Dragons matter is done. What about the former slaves?" Rayleigh asked while turn his head to their directions.

"We don't know what will we do in the near future, as we had just got freed from the Celestial Dragons. Besides, we got a Mark of Celestial Dragons and there are chances they would find us and take us back to being slaves." Chris replied.

The other three girls shivered in fear when they heard becoming slaves back. It was still clear the torture and punishment that the Celestial Dragons had incurred on them.

"Then, how about you join my crew? I could train you guys so that you become stronger. Besides, you guys would be under my protection." Narmi proposed

"Is that okay? I mean, if we joined you, we perhaps would become a burden on you and your crew members." Chris ask for confirmation. It seems like he was representing the other three girls.

"Burden? What burden? Did you mean that the World Government would chase me? Don't worry about that as they couldn't hold a candle on me after all. They are just bugs." Narmi stated

"But what about the others?" Chris asked back.

"We don't care. Besides, we could have more companions this way. Our crew members aren't that many after all." Robin replied, representing Henry and Nami.

"If that is okay with you, then please take care of us." Chris bowed his head. The other three girls followed his gesture, showing their gratitude on Narmi's kindness to take them in.

"Then, welcome to Grand King Pirates crew. Let's celebrate hahaha."

'System, buy for me the best liquor available in the store.'

[System recommend for host to buy the lowest quality available as the best liquor taste is out of this world.]

'Why is that?'

[Best liquor taste could make even host that have a high stats drunk when you took a sip. Much less the resident of this world. Also, the lowest quality had the best taste in this world]

'The buy the lowest quality liquor.'

[The lowest quality liquor is only 50 points per bottle. How much did you want host?]

'Buy 10 bottles'

[Affirmative. Transaction complete!]

Narmi then took out the bottles from his inventory and served it to the others. Rayleigh was very interested with the appearance of the liquor.

"What is this liquor? I haven't seen it before in any other places."

"This is the best liquor from my place, Ray-san. Have a drink." Narmi replied, excluding the information about the system.

Rayleigh took a sip and made a remark on the taste.

"This is delicious. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this is the best liquor that I have ever had in my life."

"Then, drink it to your heart's content. Don't worry, I will leave you some when I leave this island."

"Hehe thank you."

With that, all of them had the fun for the day.

——————————————————

Meanwhile, on a ship that were heading towards Sabaody Archipelago, a group of four people were discussing on their target for this mission, Narmi Amsi.

This four people were the members of CP-9. They are Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa and Jabra.

"It seems our target in this mission is the newly crowned Fifth Emperor. He defeated Akainu on a one-on-one battle." Lucci said

"That is one-on-one. We four people are enough to deal with him." Jabra replied

"We can't underestimated him. He defeated Akainu with only a simple display of swordsmanship and use only a tiny bit of his power. He is hiding his strength." Kaku stated

"So what? We are CP-9. Besides, we have Lucci here to help deal with him." Jabra replied to Kaku's statement with a hint of mockery. For him, there is no need to fear pirates.

"Anyways, I just want to say don't underestimate him and be careful. Jabra you should noted that. I'm not going to save you if you happen to be in a dangerous situation." Kaku replied back

"Hmm, like I need your saving."

With that, silence fill the ships heading to Sabaody Archipelago.
