I summon the shadow army in Pirates - Chapter 143

c139 Debt of 4.5 billion beli

At this time, in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Because of the death of the Celestial Dragon Carlos, the World Government was very angry and immediately sent a large number of navy and CP0 to the island to search for Rayleigh.

“Search under orders!”

In a tavern.

A large number of navy rushed in, holding a wanted order in their hands, and began to confirm the drinkers in the tavern one by one.

“Hey, wake up!”

A navy shook the drunk drinker at the table awake, but he was surprised to find that this was a familiar person.

This drinker was the private first class, Dude, who questioned what he would do after Major General Coles a few days ago and finally quit the navy on the spot.

He was originally a 20-year-old young man full of vitality, but now he was full of alcohol and was like an alcoholic.

After leaving the navy, Dude felt deeply about the darkness of this world.

Therefore, Dude has been soaking in the tavern, using alcohol to numb himself, gradually not caring about things in the outside world, and giving up on himself.

“What’s the matter?”

At this time, after being shaken awake, Dude’s consciousness was confused and he was a little confused.

The familiar navy soldiers saw this scene and couldn’t help but sigh. He was obviously a righteous companion, but now he has become like this.

Although the World Government covered up the death of the Celestial Dragon Carlos Saint, almost all the navy soldiers who went to rescue him at that time knew about it.

After thinking about it, the navy felt that he should at least tell the other party.

“Carlos Saint is dead.”

“Huh? Who died?” Dude didn’t hear it clearly, or he didn’t dare to believe the news he heard, and wanted to confirm it again.

“Carlos Saint, the Celestial Dragon who caused the explosion tragedy of 29GR, was killed. We are now looking for the murderer, Pluto Rayleigh.”

“This news should not have been revealed to you, but I think I still need to tell you.”

Just because Dude dared to stand up at that time, the navy soldier thought he should tell the other party the news, not to mention that he and Dude had a good relationship in the navy base.

The drinkers at the scene had basically confirmed that no one similar to Pluto was found, and the navy soldiers began to retreat.

Carlos is dead!

Dude looked at the backs of the navy soldiers who were leaving one after another, and felt relieved and suddenly funny.

Unexpectedly, this justice would have to be carried out by pirates!

Dude raised the bottle, wanting to numb himself with strong liquor, but he found that the bottle in his hand was already empty, without any alcohol.

This world is really ridiculous!

However, why is the original disgust much less when hearing the word “pirate” now?

Dude got up, and after walking out of the dark and gloomy tavern, a ray of strong sunlight rushed towards him, making him close his eyes subconsciously, and the feeling of powerlessness on his body began to dissipate a little, and there was a new power in his body.

Dude stretched out his hand to block the sunlight, and he could see that a large number of navy troops were conducting investigations on the island, looking for the murderer Pluto Rayleigh.

After pausing for a moment, he turned and walked towards his home where only one person was left.

In this dark and chaotic era, Dude is already a little confused about whether the navy is just or the pirates are evil.

Perhaps, justice does not distinguish between camps. When darkness is oppressive, it is justice that brings the light of salvation to the world.

He felt that he saw justice now.

It is not the justice written in strokes, but the justice that exists in people’s hearts.

…

In the eyes of a large number of people in the Sabaody Archipelago, they are all a little confused, not knowing what happened.

Why did the navy conduct such a strict search? Why did a Pluto Rayleigh suddenly appear?

All they know is that 74GR exploded on Friday night, and few people know who died.

But if the people are careful enough, they will find that no Celestial Dragons will come down to the Sabaody Archipelago for a long time.

In addition to the fact that the Five Elders have restricted the Celestial Dragons below and stipulated that they cannot go to the Sabaody Archipelago without authorization, it is also because most of the Celestial Dragons dare not go there.

There is already a precedent of the incident of Saint Carlos, and they are also afraid of being killed, so naturally they are not in the mood to go down to play.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, despite the full-scale search by the Navy and CP0, no trace of Pluto Rayleigh was found.

The other party had already hidden himself, and the World Government could not find him for a while.

The power of CP0 began to retreat, but the Navy’s strict search continued.

Coles had to patrol the island every day, looking for the murderer “Pluto Rayleigh”!

Once the other party’s trace was found, the World Government would send forces to encircle and suppress him.

Of course, Coles was just pretending to search.

After all, the real murderer who killed the Celestial Dragon Carlos was actually himself, and Pluto Rayleigh was just the scapegoat he found.

Coles had made precise arrangements for this plan since the design.

At the same time, he was also prepared for different choices of fate.

The plan succeeded and he was safe and sound.

The plan failed, and he burst out with all his strength, broke out of the encirclement of the Navy, became a wanted criminal of the World Government, and started his escape career as a pirate on the sea.

The worst outcome is that Coles fails to escape and is caught on the spot by the World Government. In that case, he can only resign himself to his fate, and his family will have the same escape route as Teacher Zefa.

Fortunately, everything is going according to perfect plan.

Nothing too bad happened.

After completing his patrol mission on the island, Coles returned to the naval station.

Although the atmosphere in the naval station became tense, everyone felt much more relaxed because the explosion incident on 29GR that day was finally solved in their hearts.

Coles stepped up the stairs of the Navy Building, came to the door of his office, and pushed in as usual.

Just, after pushing open the door.

Coles’ expression suddenly changed.

Because there was an unexpected person sitting in the office.

He was a white-haired old man who looked weak but was actually extremely strong.

He was wearing a light yellow brown shirt and a pair of brown cropped pants, exposing a pair of hairy calves.

A somewhat worn white robe was draped over his shoulders. It seemed that he was reluctant to change out of this garment because he had no money.

He has an old face with wrinkles, as if it has been weathered for a long time. There is a straight scar on his left eye and he wears a pair of rimless glasses.

Although the white-haired old man didn’t show any murderous intent, Coles felt cold all over.

Nothing else.

The real owner came to the door.

The appearance of the old man in front of him was exactly the same as the Pluto arrest warrant recently issued by the Navy.

It is none other than Silbaz Reilly!

Why did this legendary pirate suddenly appear in his office?

While Coles was shocked, he quickly thought and analyzed, and closed the office door with his hands.

First of all, Coles didn’t want others to find out about Reilly’s purpose.

Secondly, if Rayleigh wants to take action against him, this gate will not stop Coles from escaping, because he can use shadow swap to leave here at any time.

The act of closing the door can also make the other person relax a little bit of vigilance and communicate better.

“Pluto, Silbaz Reilly, we are searching for you everywhere. I didn’t expect you to be so bold and dare to show up at the naval station openly?”

Hear Coles’ words.

Reilly couldn’t help but smile. He took out a silver-white wine cup from his arms, opened the lid, and drank leisurely.

“The ‘Pluto Rayleigh’ that the world’s government outside wants to capture, isn’t it you?”

Coles’s eyes froze for a moment, because Rayleigh’s words had already revealed a lot of information.

The Navy is now trying to catch the murderer of the Celestial Dragon Carl Ross, but Reilly said that the Navy is actually trying to catch him. So it seems that his plan that day was discovered by the other party?

If he was a legendary pirate like Rayleigh, then it would be normal for him to detect the surrounding area with his sense of sight and not find the other party.

“I do not understand what you are saying.”

Coles did not admit it directly. He wanted to see if Reilly really saw his plan, or if it was just a guess by the other party.

Rayleigh slowly put down the wine cup and said with a slight smile: “I remember that when you entered the Celestial Dragon’s mansion, you said something. You called yourself the ‘God of Death’, didn’t you?”

Coles was silent.

In the mansion at that time, after Karl Ross threw a small power rock explosive, all the guards in the mansion died.

He only relied on continuous shadow exchange to avoid the explosive attack.

Rayleigh could know this because he obviously sensed it with his Haki from not far away.

It seemed that his act of killing the Celestial Dragon was indeed discovered by the other party.

Coles’ plan was originally not afraid of Rayleigh coming out to identify it. After all, the navy would not choose to believe the pirates’ words.

But the matter was discovered by Reilly personally, and he was even targeted by the other party. This was obviously not what Coles expected.

Coles asked warily: “So, what do you want?”

Since Reilly did not expose him without knowing the truth, it means that the other party must have a request, otherwise the other party would not come to his office alone to wait for him.

Reilly put away the wine cup in his hand and said: “Don’t be nervous, you are a very good young man, and being able to plan such a murder with almost no flaws shows that your wisdom is indeed extraordinary.

However, I, an old man with gray hair who is about to die, are pitiful. I am obviously seventy-five years old, but I didn’t expect that I would be wanted by the navy because of your matter. ”

Then, Reilly touched his shriveled trousers: “Since I have shouldered such a serious crime on you, you must give me some money to compensate, right?”

Coles’ heart, which was originally on his mind, also dropped with Reilly’s words.

Based on plot impressions.

He knew that after Rayleigh settled in the Shampoo Islands, he became an old man who loved gambling. When he had no money, he even sent himself to a human trafficking site to make money.

Since the other party is asking for money, the next thing will be much easier to discuss.

After he joined the Navy, the bounties he received from killing pirates totaled more than 400 million Baileys. However, since the dead pirates could only receive 70%, he only received about 300 million Baileys.

In the small silver mine in Valleland, although part of the silver was previously auctioned off for double gemstones, there was still silver worth 700 million beli left.

All told, Coles still has a huge fortune of more than one billion Baileys.

As long as the amount Rayleigh asked was not too much, he could take it out.

Coles asked, “How much do you want?”

Rayleigh showed a friendly smile: “Not much, not much, just the amount the navy offered me, 4.5 billion Baileys.”

Coles’s expression turned cold instantly.

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Although he was not very interested in money, the 4.5 billion Baileys, even if added to the earl’s inheritance in his family, was far from enough.

Rayleigh stood up and said calmly.

“I also consider your current situation, so let’s pay it in installments. I think I can live to 85 years old, so I’ll give you a ten-year term.

4.5 billion Baileys, and you’ll pay some interest in between. You only need to pay me 40 million Baileys every month, and I’ll help you take care of this matter.

How about it, young man with high spirits? Isn’t this a good deal!”

What a good deal, you just said you were an old man who was about to die?

While Coles was complaining in his heart, he quickly analyzed his own strength. He was definitely unable to fight Rayleigh now.

However, his strength is growing very fast. If he is given two years at most, he should be able to grow to the point where he can fight against the admiral. At that time, he will no longer have to worry about being controlled by Rayleigh.

After thinking about this clearly.

Coles decided to temporarily stabilize Rayleigh and prevent the World Government from discovering that he killed the Celestial Dragons, so as to maintain the status quo.

“Okay.”

…

A few minutes later.

Pluto Rayleigh left the Navy base quietly, and he had a small box containing 40 million Baileys in his hand.

As for Coles.

He stood in front of the window, looking at everything outside with an indifferent expression.

He never expected that.

He would go from being uninterested in money to an unlucky time traveler with a debt of 4.5 billion Baileys in just one day.
