Who Allowed You to Raise Your Head?

"Perhaps there are no coincidences in this world, only inevitabilities."

"Everyone comes into this world with a specific mission. Perhaps not everything is accidental. Exploring the unknown future is what we should be pursuing most."

Rayleigh, who is fifty-four years old, still looks like he has blond hair, but if you look closely you can see some silver strands.

At this moment, his ten fingers were deeply embedded in the vermilion cliff face, his whole body pressed against the 'wall', and when he looked up, he could still see the endless night sky, shrouded in mist and twinkling with stars.

This Red Line is thousands of meters high, steep as if it were cleaved out by a single blade, making it hard to believe that it is a naturally formed vertical structure.

There were no plants or trees on it, only the increasingly frigid winds howling with each step, but to him it was like a gentle breeze.

After all, he's now in his prime!

"Roger loves adventure and exploration. We've been to Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters underwater, Sky Island, 10,000 meters above the ground, and the legendary Laugh Tale, but we've never seen Mary Geoise, the so-called Holy Land."

"Let me take a look for you this time. We'll talk about it properly when we meet again in the Underworld."

For Rayleigh at this moment, this action might be his last adventure.

To be honest, if Roger's meticulously planned Great Pirate Era hadn't been so easily ended, he really wouldn't have wanted to take such a big risk.

He preferred to wait and see in the Sabaody Archipelago, hoping to find the legendary One Piece who could inherit Roger's last wish and perhaps give him a helping hand.

But now, he only wants to know one thing.

What are the reasons or figures behind the recent changes in the World Government?

[Bang!]

With a flick of his fingers, his powerful arm strength propelled his entire body upwards. Rayleigh was like a swallow flying at high speed close to a wall, rising dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

When he sensed that the power was nearing its end, he once again inserted his ten fingers into the rock wall and continued to ascend with force. He repeated this action over and over, approaching the top of the continent at an astonishing speed.

If Fisher Tiger from the future in the original timeline were to witness this scene, his feelings would probably be quite complex.

Rayleigh's ascent of the Red Line seemed far too 'easy' and 'quick'.

[Pata.]

After an unknown amount of time, one hand finally touched the flat surface, and with a powerful flip, he tumbled through the air and landed steadily on the edge of the cliff.

"Finally up here?"

Rayleigh glanced at his surroundings and used his Observation Haki to sense the nearby atmosphere, immediately spotting numerous Holy Land Garrison in the distance.

But the most noticeable atmosphere came from the large crowds gathered together.

"As expected, the liberation of slaves was nothing but a performance to deceive the world; the Celestial Dragons are still the same Celestial Dragons."

Under the moonlight, Rayleigh's gaze appeared much more somber, but he was also clear about the purpose of his trip and had no intention of immediately rescuing the slaves.

However, when we return, perhaps we can give these slaves a chance to regain their freedom.

With that thought in mind, he untied the long sword that was strapped to his back and took it into his hand. Then he began to move, using the shadows of the trees and buildings to approach the brightly lit, golden city with extreme agility and silence.

Holy Land, Mary Geoise!

The Holy Land Garrison in this area had been at peace for too long, and their vigilance was practically zero, which is why Fisher Tiger was able to succeed.

Even though the security level was later raised because of this, the Revolutionary Army still managed to infiltrate easily.

Now, with the 'Pluton' Silvers Rayleigh, whose strength is many times greater, it would be even less of a challenge. He would be like a Ghost, and the armored soldiers on guard or patrol along the way would not notice him at all.

Rayleigh's target was Pangaea Castle.

He had heard that the Five Elders, the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, were in that place, and his powerful Sixth Sense told him that there must be something he wanted to know there.

"But then again, this place is really nice. A clean, wide river, neat green forests, and even the air is much fresher than down here. Plus, the moon looks so big from here."

Rayleigh hid behind a wall, waiting for a patrol to pass by, while glancing up at the full moon in the Starry Sky and smiling.

"However, the moon on the Sky Island is still bigger."

Within Moon Chamber, Imu, wielding an unremarkable, nameless Famous Sword, casually honed Mihawk's Swordsmanship. Even so, he easily forced the latter into retreat, his heaving chest billowing out rapid, labored breaths like a broken bellows.

"Um?"

At this moment, the former raised an eyebrow and suddenly stopped what he was doing, which finally gave the latter a moment to catch his breath. He quickly seized the time to adjust and resume his breathing.

With about thirty minutes left before the end of training, Mihawk assumed that Imu was giving him time to rest, but he discovered that the latter had actually put away his knife.

"Grown ups?"

"A funny golden mouse ran in."

At the same time.

Rayleigh has successfully infiltrated the interior of Pangaea Castle and arrived at an open area, the Social Plaza.

When he saw the tennis court bathed in moonlight, with the entire Grand Line and the Calm Belt as its surface, he immediately felt a powerful aura wash over him.

"This is outrageous, these Celestial Dragons."

However, he wasn't interested in any of that. He sighed inwardly, then looked away and disappeared into the distance, disappearing into the shadows as he headed towards the inner gate of the castle.

He had already seen that one floor was lit up, and there were clearly five auras gathered together on that floor. No matter how you looked at it, it was highly likely that they were the Five Elders.

[Boom------]

Just as Rayleigh's right foot was about to step onto the stairs, an extremely domineering wave of energy erupted from the corridor inside the door.

The speed was so fast that he only had time to raise his long sword in front of him and use Armament Haki to protect his front body. The next moment, he was blasted back.

"Has it been discovered? But this force..."

Rayleigh finally stopped when the soles of his shoes were almost smoking from the friction, but two long scratches had already appeared on the grass in front of him until he stepped onto the field representing the first half of the 'Grand Line'.

[Whoosh!]

Rayleigh turned and left without hesitation. He had come to gather intelligence, not to cause trouble in Mary Geoise, and there was no need for him to fight.

He was very fast, or rather, Great Swordsman are incredibly fast. However, his figure disappeared from the spot for less than a second, and before the Sound Explosion boom could even make its presence known, he was stopped by a beam of moonlight falling from the sky.

[Clang--]

With a crisp metallic clang, Rayleigh felt an extremely powerful force travel from the blade to his hand, and his body was once again uncontrollably sent flying back.

After a few heavy footsteps, he finally stopped. When he looked up again, he saw a white figure standing in mid-air with its back to the huge Mingyue, bathed in starlight and moonlight.

The moment their eyes met, Rayleigh felt a chill run down his spine, and emotions he hadn't felt in a long time welled up inside him.

Fear!
