Silvers Rayleigh, the D Hat

"We've finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Perona, that troublesome little Goblin, was originally on her deathbed, looking like she was seasick and might die at any moment.

Now that she sees the Sabaody Archipelago, she is instantly revitalized.

Perona, holding Nami's little hand, was completely absorbed in her dramatic act.

Her righteous spirit burned brightly, and she was determined to rob the rich and help the poor. "I haven't had a shopping spree in ages, I'm going to have a blast this time!"

"Lady Nami, please do go shopping with me!"

Hearing this, the orange-haired girl snapped out of her daze and grinned mischievously, "If you bark like a puppy, I'll..."

"Woof woof woof!"

The Ghost Girl delivered a lightning-fast triple punch.

Nami amused and exasperated, nodded slightly and chatted casually with Perona, her gaze shifting away from Wang Yan.

Being interrupted like this made me lose interest in making conversation.

In any case, as long as I can stay with the System Father, that's fine.

Nami subconsciously looked into the distance.

In the vast crowd, Nami spotted an old man at a glance.

His hair was white, but he was still very energetic.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a coating craftsman.

Unable to resist his "daughter's" persistent nagging, he was dragged along to greet the Straw Hat Pirates.

The eyes of everyone at the Protagonist Academy and the Straw Hat Pirates were all focused on Luffy.

It's obvious that the enthusiastic residents and tourists on the Sabaody Archipelago came for Luffy.

Looking into the distance, you can see that those who are greeting you are mostly women.

They were holding up all sorts of signs with words written on them.

"Luffy Support Group".

"A warm welcome to the Straw Hat Master to the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Little monkey is the best!"

Even today, the Straw Hat Pirates's position within the Navy Government is quite strange.

Because the Protagonist Academy had been traveling with Luffy and his crew during this period, it was difficult for the World Government's higher-ups to determine the group's standing in the eyes of "Absolute Justice."

They did not remove the bounty posters for Luffy, Naruto, Zoro, Sanji, and others, nor did they send troops to surround and kill them.

Even the Navy turns a blind eye to Luffy's fan club.

"Merry! We've arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Luffy grinned and spun around in the arms of Little Merry.

The waterways of the Sabaody Archipelago are well-connected, and small vessels like the Going Merry can easily navigate the area, eliminating the need for the Going Merry to remain isolated.

The ship gradually approached the port.

Five kilometers.

Three kilometers.

One kilometer.

Closer, closer...

The female fans on the shore let out deafening screams.

Wow! It's Luffy in real life! He's even more handsome than in the photos!

"Luffy's fashion sense has improved a lot since then..."

"I'm so happy! Someone tell me this isn't a dream?"

"I'm going to take care of him!"

"Get out of here, you fat woman! Luffy belongs to everyone!"

After the Going Merry arrived at the port, a young woman with short black hair, wearing a top with a spider pattern, slowly walked out from the crowd of fans.

With a cigarette dangling from her hand, she exuded an imposing aura, clearly having completely dominated the Luffy fan club and wielding decisive influence.

This time, it seems she even brought her elderly father along.

"Luffy, welcome to the Sabaody Archipelago."

The short-haired woman gave Luffy a hug in a very generous manner.

This action elicited a chorus of envious and jealous gasps from her fan base behind her.

"My name is Shakky, and Boss Lady of the Raftel Bar '."

She affectionately took the old man's hand and introduced him to Luffy: "This is my husband, Silvers Rayleigh. He is an excellent coating craftsman. If you are going to Fish-Man Island, we will provide services for you free of charge."

This introduction left everyone speechless.

No matter how you look at it, the two of them don't seem to be the same age, do they?

How could they be a married couple?

People would believe it if you said they were father and daughter!

Nami was initially embarrassed for mistaking the two men's identities, but after hearing the old man's name clearly, her pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like shapes.

Silbaz Rayleigh!

The man known as "the Right Hand of the Pirate King" was originally the First Mate of the Roger Pirates!

People who roam the seas gave him the nickname "Silvers Rayleigh"!

It wasn't just Nami who realized this.

Zoro, Franky, Sanji, Robin all belatedly gasped.

This is a legendary figure!

However, the shock quickly subsided when he thought of Wang Yan, who was known as the "Absolute Justice," being by his side.

What is called Absolute Justice is more accurately described as "absolute power".

Regardless of the title, the essence remains the same.

Its status is unprecedented and unparalleled!

First Mate of Pirate King Roger?

A person who led an era...

It's impressive, but not incomprehensible.

Wang Yan was an existence that had never appeared in countless past eras!

Upon hearing the introduction, Luffy smiled broadly.

He wasn't shy at all and took the initiative to hold both of their hands.

"Aunt Xia, Uncle Rayleigh! Nice to meet you all!"

After speaking, he placed one hand on his Straw Hat, and the Armament Haki between his fingers unconsciously swirled slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the Straw Hat transformed into Blazing Hat.

"Ah! It's changed again!"

Luffy moved his hand away, puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Silvers Rayleigh's lips curled up slightly.

It seems that Luffy has mastered Armament Haki quite well.

He brushed aside his long, pale hair, pushed up his glasses, and focused his gaze on the black letter "D" branded on Luffy's hat.

Finally, a new person has forged their own path.

That kid Red-Haired Shanks wasn't wrong; the one who made him risk an arm must be many times more outstanding than he imagined.

With this in mind, Rayleigh took out the small metal flask he always carried with him.

He took a swig of wine and smiled with relief, "Take a good rest first. There are many fun places to visit in the Sabaody Archipelago."

After Shakky and Rayleigh hosted a welcome dinner for the Protagonist Academy Straw Hat Pirates at Raftel Bar, everyone returned to the Going Merry, which was docked inland, and had a good night's sleep.

I slept soundly through the night and woke up the next morning.

Bathed in the light of stars and moon, Wang Yan left the inn before the first drop of dew fell from the tip of a leaf.

He enjoyed the moment before the sun had fully risen.

Few people came to disturb this rare tranquility and peace.

"The Sabaody Archipelago lives up to its name."

As Wang Yan strolled slowly among the islands, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The sky is high and the sea is wide, the land and water are intertwined, and the air is fresh.

The islands are breathtakingly beautiful.

Being there in person is more immersive than seeing it in comics and anime.

"Hey kid up there, are you a pirate heading into the New World too?"

An impolite voice rang out behind Wang Yan.

Turning around, Wang Yan saw what the person looked like.

He had a blood-red spiky hairstyle, a dagger and a pistol strapped to his chest, goggles, and a dark red coat.

The other party had an arrogant and unruly smile on his face, and the several followers around him also had a restrained and profound aura, unlike ordinary cannon fodder.
