"R-rayleigh!" - Hachi

"Eh? Ah, no wonder you look familiar, old man. You're Rayleigh huh?" - Jon

"Don't mind the young man, now I'm just an old upholstery, Ray-san. Ooh, Hachi, are you Hachi? Long time no see. What happened to you?" - Rayleigh

Rayleigh looked around to check what was happening and he seemed to understand. He thanks the Straw Hats for saving Hachi and then he sees Luffy.

"That straw hat, looks really good on you. I want to see you, Monkey D. Luffy." - Rayleigh

"You know him Luffy?" - Zoro

"No." - Luffy

"What's? You don't know him? He is very famous. He is Rayleigh's 'Dark King'." - Jon

The crew still don't know unless Robin's silent. Jon could not trust these people, how could they not know this when they lived in this world their entire lives. He just came over 2 years ago and he knows who Rayleigh is.

"You are just ... Sigh, let's talk about this later." - Jon

"Hihihi.." - Robin.

Then they heard a voice from outside. The Marines have surrounded this place. There are 6 beginners with over 100 million bounties in them. So they've been planning to arrest them since. But now that Luffy had attacked the tenryubito, they immediately made their move.

"I won't use my powers anymore, so you young people need to look after him. Even though it seems you're not the type to take orders." - Rayleigh

"I'm not interested in helping parents, but I don't want to fight an admiral right now. I guess I will fight and save you. You don't have to thank me." - Son

Kid walked out and waved his hand at the others. Luffy and Law were immediately upset by Kid's statement, so they also went out. They keep saying that they're the ones fighting the marines.

"I don't understand why a captain with a high bounty is acting like a child. I thought only Luffy acted like this, but the others were like this too huh?" - Jon

Rayleigh then came and sat down near Hachi, he told the Straw Hats to come to Grove 13 later. They agreed because Rayleigh was also the one who would line their ship. So they need to talk to him first.

While Luffy, Kid and Law are out to fight the marines, Jon, Zoro, and Killer from Kid's crew remain at the door to see the fight. The rest of the crew, along with Caimie and Hachi, have been taken care of by Chopper. Rayleigh just sat down near Hachi while drinking his liquor.

"You know them?" - Zoro

"Of course, that's why you have to read the news, Zoro." - Jon

"Currently, it will make me dizzy." - Zoro

"Sigh, the redhead is Kid's Eustas 'Captain' from Kid's pirate with a bounty of 315 million. This masked man beside me is also his crew, the 'Massacre Soldier' Killer with a bounty of 162 million. That cow-hat guy is Trafalgar Law's 'Surgeon of Death', 200 million prize." - Jon

"Straw Hat Pirates, Jon 'Devil Eyes' and 'Pirate Hunters' Zoro. I've heard a lot about you." - Killer

"Ooh, then what about the spar?" - Zoro

"Stop, we're in urgent situation. An admiral might come here, so don't waste your energy." - Jon

"Cih .." - Zoro

The battle begins and Jon sees the power of Kid and Law's demonic fruit. All Supernova captains are devils. So Jon wanted to see their strengths and make a plan if they needed to fight in the future. He was almost certain that they would become rivals, as they would definitely also want to become a Pirate King like Luffy.

'Kid can pull and push items with metal inside. So he must have had magnetic powers, like Magneto. The power of the law, what exactly is it? He made some kind of dome and could cut people in it. But they didn't die, and he could even mix the parts. Is this some kind of space ability?' - Jon

The fight ended rather quickly, but reinforcements came. They decided it was time to leave, so they called Luffy. Riders also call them from afar and they can move faster by riding the fish.

The Straw Hats immediately ran away and the marines continued to attack them. The crew kept going and did not stop. It's easy to fight those marines, but if they stay here too long, the admirals will come. Jon makes a swamp behind them and it makes the crew sometimes run away.

They finally escape and ride the fish, while Franky, Rayleigh, Caimie, Hachi, and Pappag ride Motobaru. The fish was faster than the bull, but then Franky made the machine after seeing the bridge break down. He could even make something like that from a broken bridge, and it was fast.

Moments later, they arrived at Grove 13 and the riders gave Caimie bags. They actually went and beat up the people who caught Caimie. These people are very grateful to Sanji and his crew. They also continue to change their group name now. The crew then heads to a bar that has a strange name.

"Shakky Rip-off's Bar? What a strange name. Aren't they going to scare customers?" - Jon

The door opened and a middle-aged woman walked out. Looks like he knows Rayleigh and Hachi. He even knew Luffy, Brook and Chopper. They've come here before to find Rayleigh, but he's not here, so they're trying to find him somewhere.

They prepare the bed for Hachi and Chopper treats him slowly. He could only do quick treatment before, so now he was more thorough. The others sat in chairs, while Luffy and Jon ransacked the fridge. Jon sees Luffy eating and becomes hungry as well

"Ah that's right, Rayleigh. Why would someone like you live in that place? It's not like you can't get out on your own, can you?" - Jon

"Hahaha, I got lost in my betting and needed some more money. So I sold myself to steal money from my buyers." - Rayleigh

"Geh, are you selling yourself for money?" - Usopp

"The crazy method. How much money do they need to buy the vice-captain of Gol D. Roger, 'Dark King' Silvers Rayleigh?" - Jon

"WHAT?!" - Crew

"You're the vice-captain of the Pirate King?" - Luffy

"Fuck? You don't know?" - Robin

Rayleigh was a legend among pirates, but he had not shown himself for a long time. Many even believed he was dead after Roger's execution.

"I didn't recognize him at first, but when Hachi called his name, I remembered him immediately." - Jon

"Well, enough about me, I'm just the liner upholstery now. Actually I waited a long time to see you, Monkey D. Luffy. Shanks told me about you a few years ago after he got a scar in his eye and lost his arm. He came to me and told me about you." - Rayleigh

"You know Shanks, old man?" - Luffy

"If you're from East Blue, you know Buggy." - Rayleigh

The people from East Blue seemed to be annoyed at hearing Buggy's name. Rayleigh tells them that Shanks and Buggy were training on their ship when they were young. Jon couldn't believe this, it almost sounded impossible.

'How did the Pirate King's disciples become so different? One of them was Yonkou now, but the other was just a small pirate captain. Well, not all students from a good school become great people.' - Jon

Rayleigh also informs them that Roger was not captured by the marines, but that he turned himself in. They were shocked and could not believe that the Pirate King was sending himself to be captured, if the one telling them that this was not his vice-captain, they would not believe it. Rayleigh says Roger has an incurable disease and his death is imminent, so he sets sail for the last time.

To ease Roger's pain, they recruited Crocus who was a doctor 3 years before they reached Laugh Tale. This shocked the people of East Blue and Brook in particular. Crocus tells them that he joined the pirate crew for a while. Crocus joins them in search of a pirate crew that is Brook's crew.

"I never thought he'd join the Pirate King's crew." - Nami

"Crocus-san, you even did that for us." - Brook cried

"Finally after three years, we managed to do the impossible. We conquered the Grand Line." - Rayleigh

After conquering the Grand Line, Roger was appointed Pirate King. But that title was nothing to a dying man like him. So he enjoyed his final years with fighting and partying with his crew.

After conquering the outlines, Roger disbanded his crew. One year later, Roger surrendered to the Marines. The Marines decide to carry out a public execution to throw fear at pirates around the world. But Roger said something to Rayleigh before he turned around. He said 'I won't die, partner'.

Later, on the day of his execution, Roger uttered his famous speech that turned the world into the Great Pirate Era. This story greatly shocked the Straw Hats. It was unexpected that the Pirate King had a great story that not many people like this knew.

"So he plans to make the pirate era like this?" - Usopp

"I don't know, no one knows about it." - Rayleigh

"Heeh, maybe that means he won't die as long as someone inherits his soul? I didn't know the Pirate King was a philosopher." - Jon

"Hahaha, as I said, no one knows what he means by that." - Rayleigh

"I don't need to know what he means, that's what I get." - Jon

"Rayleigh-san." - Robin

Robin suddenly stood up and called out to Rayleigh, as if she had a big dilemma. Then he asked if Rayleigh knew about the vacuum century, the age before 900 years ago. He also asked about the 'Will of D' written on the poneglyph on Sky Island. Also about how Roger could write that language.

'Will of D? Is it from the name D? Come to think of it, why do I have a D in my name?' - Jon

Rayleigh says that he knows everything Robin wants to ask. But he told Robin not to rush. He needed to go on his own journey to reach that answer. Rayleigh thinks that maybe his crew and Ohara's men are in too much of a hurry. He also thought that maybe Robin could find a different answer.

"But if you still want to know the answer, I'll tell you everything." - Rayleigh

Robin seemed to think for a moment before she smiled.

"No, let's stop this topic." - Robin

"Oi Robin, are you sure about this? You can get the answer now. Oi old man, then I want to ask, if the treasure, One Piece, rea -" - Usopp

"USEL!" - Luffy

Luffy yelled to stop Usopp's question, and he went up to the table and slammed his leg.

"I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know if One Piece is real. Everyone sailed to the sea because they wanted to look for him. I DON'T WANT A BORING ADVENTURE LIKE THAT. If an old man tells me the answer, I WILL STOP BEING THE KING OF PIRATE!" - Luffy

Usopp looked terrified and apologized to Luffy. Jon just smiled hearing Luffy, it was rare to find someone like this. He was glad he was following the right guy. If Luffy only wanted to know the answer, their trip would not be interesting anymore. There is no point in looking for answers you already know, just boring.

'I want to live an exciting life where I can do whatever I want. There is no point in having this power if my life is boring and not challenging at all.' - Jon

Jon clenched his fists and grinned, but he still continued to eat. This fridge has a lot of good food, so he has to be quick or Luffy will take it all. Jon himself had no idea since when he enjoyed fighting and challenging strong people. But it doesn't matter as long as he can enjoy it.

"Can you do it? Conquering the Grand Line?" - Rayleigh

Rayleigh said with a serious expression, but Luffy just laughed.

"I don't need to conquer anything, because to me, the freest person at sea is the Pirate King." - Luffy

Luffy simply smiled and Rayleigh also smiled and widened her eyes. According to Jon, Rayleigh judged Luffy's character by asking that question.

'Looks like he passed the exam.' - Jon
