Rayleigh was furious at Luo Wen's expression and was about to argue with Luo Wen.
This is his experience accumulated over many years, and it cannot be easily discredited.
"The teaching is finished, now it's time to collect the reward."
Luo Wen didn't give Rayleigh a chance to explain, shutting him down completely.
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh's anger vanished, but his expression turned ugly.
This kid is so ungrateful. He was just a teacher a moment ago, and now he wants to use him for a reward.
But he still wanted to struggle a little longer.
"Hey, I was just your teacher, isn't it a bit too heartless to make a move now?"
Looking into Luo Wen's eyes, Rayleigh began to play the emotional card.
"Those were the terms we agreed on beforehand, don't make things up."
Luo Wen rolled his eyes and said speechlessly,
If Rayleigh's bounty were only tens of millions of Beli, he might be able to turn a blind eye.
But Rayleigh is worth billions of Beli, he won't let him go.
Moreover, this might be his last time receiving a bounty from the World Government, so he needs to be careful.
Two days had passed since he killed Spandam, although he had disposed of the body and left no trace.
But when Spandam leads a mission, someone always finds out.
Given the capabilities of World Government, it should happen within the next day or two.
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat!"
Rayleigh was immediately speechless, looking utterly helpless.
This kid is completely unreasonable; there's nothing he can do about it.
He had no intention of resisting; rather than escaping from Luo Wen, running away from the Marine Base was more realistic.
Anyway, if two Admiral don't come, he still has a chance to escape.
"Let's just wait here. Judging by the time, they should be here soon."
Luo Wen looked up into the distance and said calmly.
The Sabaody Archipelago is known as the Celestial Dragons' backyard. With such a commotion caused by him and Rayleigh, the Navy will definitely come to investigate.
Luo Wen Nami and the other girls back to the Windrider, while he and Rayleigh stayed behind, quietly waiting for the Navy to arrive.
Rayleigh lay on the ground, his face pale and bloodless, as if he were about to die at any moment.
"You really have a refined taste, posing like this."
Seeing Rayleigh's actions, Luo Wen immediately chuckled.
Others might not know about Rayleigh's injuries, but didn't he?
There wasn't a single wound on his body, not a drop of blood was shed, he was just exhausted and a little numb.
With Rayleigh's physical abilities, this minor injury is like a mosquito bite on an Earthling—it's nothing serious.
"None of your business!"
Rayleigh rolled his eyes and turned his back to Luo Wen.
He closed his eyes and began to play dead completely.
"Hehe."
Luo Wen chuckled lightly, but didn't say anything more.
Luo Wen saw right through his little scheme.
Their plan was simply to feign weakness to lull the navy into a false sense of security, and then find an opportunity to escape.
As for the prestige of the strong?
This is Rayleigh, the kind of guy who would auction himself off repeatedly when he's short of money; how could he possibly care about such a trivial matter?
"Interesting."
Luo Wen murmured softly, a glint in his eyes.
He had no intention of exposing it to the World Government.
Firstly, he had a good impression of Rayleigh, who was both giving him money and teaching him. Secondly, he was about to become enemies with the World Government, so he naturally had no intention of cleaning up their mess.
While Luo Wen and Rayleigh were waiting, all the important figures in the Sabaody Archipelago were alarmed.
As Luo Wen had predicted, the Sabaody Archipelago, as the Celestial Dragons' backyard, hadn't seen such a big commotion in a long time.
News King Morgans, like a cat smelling fish, sprinted toward Island 27.
As a user of the Albatross Fruit who can't fly, his wings were practically smoking from flapping.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
"Big News Morgans, I'm here!"
Morgans' eyes gleamed with excitement.
Just when he thought he was about to be the first to arrive at the scene, a lewd golden flash passed by him.
Although I couldn't see anything clearly, I had a strange, sleazy feeling about it.
"Hooray! Is Admiral Kizaru going to join the fun too? I'm even more excited now!"
Morgans is flapping his wings even more frequently; with the addition of Admiral, this news is sure to be even more explosive.
Thinking back to the battle between Aokiji and Luo Wen that brought him huge traffic last time, Morgans couldn't stop grinning.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago early and had no monsters to fight, were also attracted by the huge commotion on Island 27.
"There's a loud commotion over there, let's go check it out!"
Luffy pointed in the direction of Island 27 and shouted loudly.
"That place looks very dangerous, let's not go."
Usopp grabbed Luffy's left hand and tried to persuade him.
"That's right, don't go."
Chopper grabbed Luffy's right hand and whispered a plea.
"I'm going to be the King of the Pirates! There's nothing to be afraid of!"
Luffy shouted and dragged Usopp and Chopper towards Island 27.
"That's a battle between two Supreme Swordsman, I want to see it!"
Zoro ran with his sword in hand, even more excited than Luffy.
Sanji and Franky followed closely behind, grumbling as they went.
The first to arrive was naturally Kizaru, the Flash Man who had eaten the Pervy Fruit.
"Long time no see, Admiral Kizaru."
Luo Wen looked at the familiar figure and greeted him.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Kizaru glanced around at the messy surroundings and cautiously looked at Luo Wen.
Kizaru was shocked to see Rayleigh lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
The last time he met with Luo Wen was at the Alabasta palace, where he was ordered to deal with Crocodile, but Luo Wen beat him to it.
He knew then that Luo Wen was no ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the next news, he had actually defeated Aokiji, who was also Admiral. (Moria was nothing compared to him.)
Now that they meet again, Luo Wen defeats Rayleigh once more.
It has only been a little over a month since Alabasta, and two top-tier powerhouses have been defeated by Luo Wen in succession, which is truly shocking.
"Within Kuowa!"
"How terrifying! Even the King of the Pirates's vice-captain was defeated?"
Kizaru adjusted his glasses, his expression extremely exaggerated.
"You flatter me. It took me a lot of effort to beat him."
"The King of the Pirates's first mate, truly lives up to his reputation!"
Luo Wen straightened his blood-stained shirt, covering his wounds which were almost healed, and then said with deep emotion.
"Really? That's quite an achievement, considering he's a legendary pirate."
Kizaru, unsuspecting, began to comfort Luo Wen.
Rayleigh, Roger's right-hand man and a powerful figure who shook an era, made it understandable that Luo Wen's victory was somewhat difficult.
As for the fact that Luo Wen didn't appear to have any major injuries, Kizaru wasn't surprised.
It's probably due to internal injuries.
Seeing Kizaru being fooled by Luo Wen, Rayleigh, who was lying dead on the ground, twitched his eyelids a few times, unable to hold back any longer.
This kid was just acting all high and mighty, but now he's barely scraping by.
Even though Luo Wen was giving him face, he felt like his face was being rubbed repeatedly on the ground.
That kid is really infuriating!
