At those words, Randall stared at Rayleigh in silence.
After a long while, Randall suddenly smiled, his expression laden with meaning.
"Rayleigh, I wonder if you've heard.
Shanks left an arm behind in the East Blue."
Rayleigh's expression remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly lurched.
He wondered why Randall had brought this up out of nowhere. Had he discovered something?
But surely that wasn't possible.
He hadn't heard of Randall ever visiting the East Blue.
At that moment, Rayleigh suddenly recalled his conversation with Shanks that day.
"Vice Captain, I may have found the person the captain was waiting for."
Shanks smiled, his eyes shining.
"Oh? Really? Does this person have something to do with your missing arm and the straw hat?"
Rayleigh cast a discreet glance at Shanks's side.
"Yes. I bet this arm on the new era."
Shanks held his left shoulder.

"Is that so? Then I'm really looking forward to it..."
Recalling Shanks's words, Rayleigh was secretly alarmed.
Enma absolutely must not learn about this.
But things did not go as he wished.
The next moment, he heard Randall say:
"What does your silence mean?
You don't want me to know?
Ah, it's nothing much, really.
The Red Hair Pirates openly stayed in Foosha Village for two years. You don't seriously think I didn't know, do you?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Rayleigh spoke in a low voice.
"Nothing. At first, I really wanted to kill this person you speak of, the one Roger was waiting for.
But now I feel that wouldn't be quite right.
Although he's certain to commit crimes eventually.
He hasn't committed any yet, has he?"
At those words, Rayleigh secretly broke out in a cold sweat,
