Become Supreme Will from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 593 Not now
Ruskena is an island located in the Calm Belt. There are herds of beasts all over the island. There once was a country there but it was destroyed in the war.

This island is very dangerous, with a large number of ferocious beasts living there. In addition, it is located in the doldrums, so it can be almost considered "isolated from the world."

The characteristic of this island is that it has forty-eight seasons.

A solar term changes every week.

There is almost no so-called safe place on the entire island, except near a huge carrot-shaped plant on the island.

Ruskena's coordinates are just northwest of Nine Snake Island, not far away.

This is also the place where Rayleigh takes Luffy to practice. In addition to rare and precious animals, the island also has a large number of natural resources, so there is no need to worry about survival... But occasionally, the female warriors of the Nine Snakes will bring some supplies to the two of them. Although Rayleigh has tried his best to stop Hancock from interfering, he can't resist the friendship of that woman for Luffy.

Rayleigh believed that an environment that was too comfortable would weaken Luffy's growth, and Ruskena was the 'place' he had chosen on purpose.

It has been more than a year since the Battle of Marineford, and Luffy's improvement is huge.

Originally, as a member of the Worst Generation, Luffy's potential was recognized to be the best... because the Straw Hat Pirates' time from setting sail to arriving at Sabaody was the fastest among all the supernovas, which also indirectly illustrates the problem.

As for what happened in the outside world over the past year, Rayleigh knew it very well... but Luffy knew nothing.

"hehe."

On a towering tree, Rayleigh sat high up on the trunk with his cheeks flushed with drunkenness, swaying as Luffy, who was trapped in the herd and besieged by a large number of beasts, smiled unconsciously.

Looking closely, Luffy did not fight back against the beast that attacked him. He just closed his eyes and kept dodging.

This is exactly the 'course' for practicing the seeing and hearing color.

Luffy has grown from being "complaining" in the beginning to being calm and composed now.

It was as if he had a premonition of the attacks coming from all angles and areas and sensed them in advance.

Sometimes, even if his body has no angle to avoid, Luffy will not hurt the beasts too much, but just cover his fist with Armament Haki and knock them away. The size and strength of these beasts are difficult to shake with physical strength without Armament Haki, mainly because there are too many of them and the offensive is very intensive, not a simple one-on-one or one-on-ten... With the advantage brought by Observation Haki, if you want to create space and opportunity in an instant, you must use Armament Haki.

Rayleigh smiled because he felt relieved.

With the mastery and improvement of his observation Haki and armament Haki, Luffy naturally became more proficient in controlling and using his domineering Haki.

Compared to his image as a young boy during the Battle of Marineford, Luffy now has a certain foundation in the three-color domineering.

As a person of the older generation, Rayleigh is upholding Roger's ideas and wishes to help young people... so that they can "have fun" in this era.

This is truly their time.

Bululu.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi in Rayleigh's arms rang.

He took it out and answered it.

"Are you and Luffy together?"

A familiar heavy voice sounded.

Rayleigh's drunken expression suddenly sobered up and his eyes focused.

Even the wine bottle that had just been placed next to his mouth fell down.

It's Shanks.

"what happened?"

Rayleigh had a premonition.

"We have left the Wano Country... We are on our way to find you. Be careful, the God Slayer is coming to find you." Shanks judged from Rayleigh's tone that the latter had not yet fought with the God Slayer, and immediately said, "He is not going after you, but Luffy."

"He's going to kill Luffy."

"..."

Rayleigh remained silent, frowning.

After a moment, he said seriously, "Is it because of you?"

Rayleigh knew about the feud between Shanks and Oboro.

In his opinion, a person like Oboro would never have the space for a brat like Luffy. After all, even if Luffy is "a little famous" now, he can't pose a threat to the Hell Pirates. To say that the previous feud between the Straw Hats and the Hell Pirates could make the God Slayer come all the way to hunt them down, this is too much of an honor for Luffy... or, in other words, it lowers Oboro's status a bit.

Rayleigh had told Shanks before that if a big battle broke out between Oboro and Shanks, he would not intervene... and would not help Shanks.

The people that the Hell Pirates should be targeting are Kaido, Shanks, and the Five Elders.

How could it be Luffy? The only thing Rayleigh could think of was that Long knew Shanks cared about Luffy, including some special features of the straw hat... in order to take revenge on the Red Hair Pirates.

"How could it be because of me? People like him..."

Shanks laughed at himself.

"The possibilities of Luffy...you and I are very clear about it, and he...is also clear about it."

"..."

Raleigh.

"I gave the straw hat to Luffy because I thought he had a better chance to change the world than me. When the war that swept the entire world came, Luffy would definitely not be absent."

"As for Oboro, he doesn't want Luffy to interfere with his plans. This world was subverted by him, and it can only be 'modified' according to his wishes, so... Luffy will definitely die."

"What he brought to this world was not peace, but Shura Hell, just like the name of their pirate group."

"I've realized that a long time ago."

Shanks told the story.

"That's why I'm trying my best to destroy the Hell Pirates... They are the biggest threat on the sea right now."

"The reason why the Five Elders can still sit still is not only because of the man behind them, but also because they have been entrusting Vegapunk to update and evolve the next generation of Pacifists... They need time. Once the new weapons are developed, the power of the World Government will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system will no longer be needed to balance the forces of all parties. They are very confident."

"They can wait, but... I can't."

"The God Slayer feels too dangerous to me... I have a different opinion from the Five Elders. I advised them to gather all their strength to stop the Hell Pirates. However, hundreds of years of arrogance and conceit have blinded them and made them too conceited."

"With every day that passes, the changes brought about by the God Slayer are uncontrollable."

"The Five Elders simply don't realize the crux of the matter."

Shanks expressed his attitude again.

"..."

Rayleigh was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. I'll take Luffy away now."

"..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh's body stiffened.

He turned his head instantly and looked up at the sky above the sea, and saw a huge ship, shining brightly in the sun, as red as blood, slowly approaching.

"what happened?"

The red-haired man became nervous when he saw Rayleigh remained silent.

"Trouble..."

Rayleigh sighed, "He's already here..."

"..."

"The fact that I brought Luffy to Ruskena is unknown to outsiders. It is an absolutely confidential matter. There is no way that the Nine Snakes will leak the news, and there is no way that anyone from your side will tell others... How did he find this place?"

"The Wanoku has changed hands, Charlotte Linlin was killed, and the so-called divine power of the God Slayer... He should have gained a lot of abilities from the Big Mom Pirates."

The redhead reminded.

"Let's do this for now. No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect Luffy and get him out first."

Rayleigh smiled calmly.

"Shanks..."

"..."

"I'm listening."

"If... I mean if... if I die and Luffy... can't survive, then take my advice, disband your pirate group and go to Marijoa... Maybe everything will have to wait. The era that Roger and I saw... is not now."

"..."

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi lost his voice.
