"You... are you pirates?" Tom frowned and asked Rayleigh. A group of ten people, all wearing weapons and smelling of blood, even if they didn't recognize Roger at first glance, they could tell that they were pirates.
Although he had the intention to hide it at first, seeing that he had been seen through, Rayleigh no longer hid it. He stroked his plump chin and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, we won't leak it out, because the next time will be very hard, so we need a good ship!"
Generally speaking, the ships used by pirates were basically bought ready-made. If shipbuilders built ships for pirates casually, it would be a very serious crime if it was found out.
Shipwrights naturally wouldn't take such a big risk to build ships for pirates, but there were also ways to deal with it. As long as the Navy asked, they would send some red envelopes and then push all the blame onto the pirates.
So, in this world, you could still do whatever you wanted if you had money!
However, most shipwrights were just ordinary civilians. Money was still not enough, so they generally chose to refuse before starting.
The Roger Pirates' ship before was directly bought ready-made, but the next journey was to the New World, and they urgently needed a good ship. They heard that Tom was one of the best shipwrights in the Grand Line, so they came to find him.
"Are these guys all pirates?" Grimm asked with a smile. He was very familiar with the people in front of him, but he couldn't remember them for a moment.
"Yeah, what's wrong with you?" Buggy, seeing Grimm, who seemed to be about the same age as him and Shanks, admitted his identity, even though he wasn't wanted as a trainee.
"Is that so! That's great. May the Holy Light bless you!" Grimm smiled like a child, which made the Roger Pirates confused. What did this guy mean?
"I wonder who among you has a bounty of over 150 million Berries?" Grimm narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely happy in his heart. It was really like someone send pillow when you were sleepy!
At this time, Shanks already felt that something was wrong, and Buggy, that idiot, said very proudly: "Idiot, don't look at the fact that there are only ten people in our pirate crew, but not to mention a bounty of 150 million, there are six people with bounties of over 200 million. Apart from the captain and the vice-captain, who have long since exceeded 300 million, Mr. Oden..."
Buggy chattered and said the bounties of everyone around him one by one. Suddenly, Grimm's face suddenly sank, and his eyes revealed a fierce light: "Is that so? That's enough!"
The Ashbringer was summoned instantly, and Grimm jumped up and directly slashed at a fighter with a bounty of over 200 million Berries, wearing sunglasses and a ponytail.
Bang!
Before most of the people in the audience could react, golden light covered Grimm's sword. Grimm's eyes widened slightly, and he saw a very ordinary-looking long sword blocking the Ashbringer.
Just like Zephyr, whom he had encountered when he left the island, the aura on the sword was definitely Armament Haki, but this sword didn't turn black.
Turning his head to look, he saw a man wearing a black suit, with a conspicuous golden back hair and glasses, blocking the Ashbringer with a long sword full of Armament Haki.
"Hey... a pirate with a bounty of over 300 million? Uncle, I only need 150 million now. Of course, if you take the initiative to offer it, I don't mind!" Grimm still remembered Buggy's introduction just now. This guy was the vice-captain of this pirate crew and was a big target with a bounty of over 300 million.
"Daring to directly attack our companions in front of me and Roger, you have guts!"
Rayleigh's sharp eyes swept over Grimm, and he said to Roger, whose face had completely become excited, "Roger, don't do anything. I'm enough!"
The reason why Rayleigh chose to take action himself was because the incident where Garp ambushed them before had left Roger's mood not fully recovered. The only thing that could loosen Roger's consciousness at this time was the death of his companions.
"Roger? Gol D. Roger." Grimm sighed inwardly. No wonder they looked so familiar. So he had encountered Roger and his crew. Then the vice-captain facing him was Rayleigh?
"Do you still want to continue fighting?" Grimm began to hesitate, because if it was Roger and his crew, he wouldn't get any benefits at all. He probably wouldn't even be able to kill Buggy! There was no need to fight.
"Ding! Does the Host accept the task [Recognize Yourself]?"
Task Requirements: Fight the future Pirate King's vice-captain Rayleigh for 30 minutes.
Task Rewards: 1000 Holy Light Points, WoW Paladin Strength +10%, DNF Paladin Level +5.
Seeing such rewards, Grimm was almost scared to death.
This was definitely the first time since Grimm had the system that he had seen such crazy rewards.
It seemed that he had to fight.
At this time, Tom on the side was also stunned. The name "Roger" was very familiar.
Ding!
The greatsword and the long sword collided again, and the two swords fought each other, splashing a series of sparks. Rayleigh said with a gloomy face: "My head isn't something that's so easy to take."
"How would I know if I didn't try!" Grimm smiled coldly, and his hands suddenly exerted force, and the greatsword kept slashing towards Rayleigh.
Sparks flew everywhere!
"Kill him, Mr. Rayleigh."
"Kill him, Vice-Captain!"
In the Roger Pirates, who were supported to the other side, Buggy and Shanks couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Heh!"
After Rayleigh let out a light laugh, he rushed forward with his sword, turning from defense to offense, constantly making Grimm retreat steadily.
Fighting Rayleigh, Grimm didn't dare to hold back anything. He wasn't someone like Pizarro who could be compared to.
"It's really a very comprehensive attack." Grimm began to hold the sword with his right hand alone, and his left hand condensed a hammer the size of a person and threw it towards Rayleigh's face.
Rayleigh took a step back and blocked the hammer thrown by Grimm with his sword. Because the blade received resistance, his movements looked a bit sluggish.
He felt... this hammer wasn't an ordinary hammer, but a fierce beast pouncing crazily on his blade.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Grimm no longer fought in close combat. Holy Light Spear, Judgment, Holy Light Shield, and Pure White Blade were constantly released outwards. Rayleigh dodged or blocked these attacks one by one and kept approaching Grimm.
In just one face-to-face meeting, Rayleigh came in front of Grimm, and a sword almost hit Grimm's neck.
"Hehe..."
Grimm chuckled lightly, and suddenly raised the Ashbringer in his right hand, and with a slash, a golden sword energy completely tore open the earth. Rayleigh dodged to the side, and the sword energy rushed towards the sea, stirring up waves hundreds of meters high.
When Rayleigh came back to his senses again, a huge golden hammer fell from the sky, smashing directly on his head without any deviation.
Rayleigh held his sword horizontally to defend, but was directly smashed into the ground by the huge force.
Of course, all of this was something that hadn't happened. These scenes remained in Rayleigh's mind, producing a prediction.
