Rayleigh After listening to Allen's detailed account, his heart was as shocked as a stormy sea.
The information about this fruit he saw in Final Island was nothing compared to what Allen said.
His voice trembled slightly, and he said in a stuttering tone, "How do you know so much? Did you secretly go to Final Island by yourself?"
Allen waved his hand gently and said calmly, "I haven't been there and I don't want to go. I guessed it."
Shakky looked at the mysterious conversation between the two, and her heart was full of confusion. She really didn't know what the two were talking about. One moment it was Rubber-Rubber Fruit, and the next it was the sun god Nika Fruit. This made her feel as if she was in a fog.
Rayleigh saw Shakky's doubts. He gently patted Shakky's hand and said softly, "I'll explain it to you tonight."
Shakky Although he was still full of curiosity, he still nodded obediently and agreed.
Then, Rayleigh's eyes returned to Allen again. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he asked again, "The government is afraid that someone Awakening will overthrow the rule of Celestial Dragons, so it wants to help you get this fruit back?"
Allen shook his head, his expression became a little serious, and said, "This fruit has its own consciousness. For 800 years, World Government has been trying to recover this fruit, but every time something unexpected happens, it slips away from the government, so they have given up hope. They want to take this opportunity to make Shanks and I become mortal enemies."
In this small tavern, the atmosphere became a little solemn.
In this space filled with the aroma of wine and memories, Rayleigh and Shakky still had the shock on their faces after hearing Allen's words.
The fact that the fruit actually had consciousness caused them to fall into a moment of thought and silence.
Shakky was the first to come back to her senses, her eyes full of admiration and relief. Her sweet voice was a bit ridiculing. "Our little Allen is really smart. It seems that World Government's wishful thinking will come to nothing this time."
Rayleigh also nodded, with recognition for Allen in his eyes. However, the calm atmosphere was instantly broken by Allen's next sentence.
Allen scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "But I want that 8 billion!"
As soon as these words came out, Rayleigh, who was drinking wine, choked suddenly and coughed violently. He stared at Allen with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "Ahem, cough, cough, you don't really plan to take action against Shanks for 8 billion, do you?"
Allen grinned, showing his white teeth, and smiled brightly, "There must be a fight, otherwise how could the government believe it?"
Rayleigh rolled his eyes helplessly. "Are you so greedy for money?"
Allen nodded calmly. "I do like money, but don't worry, it's not what you think."
"When the time comes, I will play a show with Shanks, and the fruit will be handed over to the government. As for whether it is Nika Fruit, God only knows."
Rayleigh and Shakky looked at each other and instantly understood Allen's plan, and they couldn't help laughing.
Rayleigh laughed and said, "World Government will probably be so angry that he will beat his chest and even cry, unable to find a way to calm down."
Shakky also covered his mouth gently and smiled, his eyes full of fun and indulgence towards the two men.
Afterwards, Rayleigh and Allen clinked glasses and drank. Allen began to talk about his experiences during this period. When he mentioned meeting Robin, Rayleigh's eyes flashed with memories.
He remembered the thrilling scene of Ohara 10 years ago, and the figure of little Robin gradually became clear in his mind.
Rayleigh laughed and cursed, "I almost left my old bones there just because I went to save your little girlfriend."
Allen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and explained, "There was nothing I could do before. I had a reason to go, so I can only help you and Uncle Gaban to follow me. It also allows you to relive the feeling of excitement."
Rayleigh waved his hand with a hint of teasing on his lips. "You must chase this girl, right?"
Shakky couldn't help but chuckle.
Before Allen could refute, Rayleigh asked with concern, "How have Robin been these past few years?"
Allen's eyes lit up and he said enthusiastically, "It's pretty good. She's fair and fair, has a good figure, and her face is so pure and cute that people can't take their eyes away..."
Rayleigh quickly raised his hand to interrupt him and said with a look of disgust on his face, "Okay, okay, I know what you want to say. Your praise is just because you are greedy for other people's bodies. I have already seen it."
Allen chuckled and responded without shyness, "Uncle, you have a really good eye for people!"
Rayleigh looked at Allen and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been almost 10 years in the blink of an eye, and you two little guys were only this tall before."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to indicate a short height, "Now you are taller than me."
Allen complained, "If I'm not as tall as you, how can I control those women?"
"They are all very tall."
Rayleigh laughed and scolded, "Can't you save some face for me, an old man, and stop stepping on me?"
"There is no moral character of respecting the elderly and caring for the young."
Suddenly, Rayleigh seemed to have remembered something important, his expression became serious, and he said slowly, "Shanks went to rob Rubber-Rubber Fruit, probably for Ace."
Allen After hearing this, the past pictures also appeared in his mind.
That was after Father and the others came back from Final Island. At that time, Father wanted to talk to him, but he had a stomachache.
Father found Shanks out of desperation, but regretted it the next day and told Shanks to forget what happened that night, saying that he should not let Shanks take risks for his own selfishness.
Although Allen only heard this scene accidentally, it has always been remembered in my heart.
Allen ended his recollection and said softly, "Father probably wanted Ace to become the legendary person, but that fruit has its own consciousness and will choose its owner."
"Besides, I don't want Ace to eat that thing."
When Rayleigh and Shakky heard this, their faces were full of doubts.
Rayleigh couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this fruit God-Tier Fruit? Why don't you let your brother eat it?"
Allen looked at the confused looks in their eyes and patiently explained, "It's very difficult to develop this fruit. You have to be beaten constantly to understand the secret."
Rayleigh and Shakky looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and suspicion, as if to say: This God-Tier Fruit actually had to be beaten to develop? This is incredible!
Allen didn't care what they were muttering on the side, and continued, "And after eating Rubber-Rubber Fruit, your body will become limp, how can you still look like a man?"
"If Ace eats it, it won't harm Father's precious son."
After saying that, Allen shook his head seriously.
Then, Allen turned to look at Rayleigh and asked expectantly, "Uncle, do you think this is true?"
