Pirates: The system is not activated until you are a hundred years old

Chapter 116 The humble Rayleigh

"There's no need for a private room. Just do as I say. I'm an old acquaintance with him." Ron didn't pay attention to the change in the security guard's expression and shook his head.

"This……"

However, after hearing Ron's words, the lobby manager suddenly felt embarrassed.

He has worked in this pub for almost 30 years, otherwise it would be impossible to recognize Ron at a glance.

Although, Ron's own military rank is just an ordinary retired lieutenant general of the headquarters.

But the lobby manager also knew that this old man was the most legendary figure in the navy in recent decades.

Nowadays, several big bosses in the Navy Headquarters were all taught by him!

Including the current Navy Marshal Buddha Sengoku, Navy Hero Iron Fist Garp, Navy Chief Staff Officer He, and Chief Instructor Zefa.

When they first saw Mr. Ron leading these three people over for dinner, the respect these three people had for Ron was truly genuine.

In other words, if you neglect the old man in front of you, it is equivalent to directly neglecting the entire Navy Headquarters!
If Mr. Ron always went to eat in Tianzihao private room like before, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

But now he had to stay in this noisy hall.

What if, what if something happens...

Even if he has eight heads, it's not enough!
Besides, if the boss knew that he had placed Mr. Ron in the lobby, it would not be as simple as losing his position.

Suddenly, Luffy got impatient and shouted dissatisfied: "Ah! Grandpa, we're already at the tavern, why can't we start eating! I'm about to starve to death!"

Luffy's shout immediately frightened the security guard and the lobby manager.

"What's going on?! What's going on?!"

At this moment, an unhappy voice came from inside.

The lobby manager looked over after hearing this, and his face suddenly lit up.

Then, I saw a man about 40 years old with a huge belly but wearing a tight suit walking over.

"boss!"

The lobby manager greeted him and trotted over immediately, helping the potbellied man over.

After retreating behind the boss, the lobby manager breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, the boss came over at this time, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

After the boss saw Ron, excitement suddenly appeared on his plump face.

"Mr. Ron, you, you haven't been to our pub for almost 20 years..."

"You are...Chuck?!" Ron's old face was full of surprise and he said in disbelief.

"How come you're so fat? Where's your dad, Charnes?"

Ron remembered that before he retired, this Chuck was still a smart and capable young man.

But in the blink of an eye, why did it become so greasy?

"My dad passed away six years ago..." Chuck sighed: "Mr. Ron, you haven't been here for so long, I thought you also..."

Ron was a regular at their pub when Chuck was little.

This will last for decades.

Ron has also watched Chuck grow up.

Therefore, in Chuck's heart, Ron was as kind as a neighbor's grandfather.

When he heard the news of Ron's retirement more than ten years ago, he thought he would never see the old man again.

Unexpectedly, I saw him again today.

"Has Charnes left already?"

Ron shook his head.After eating here for decades, he and Charnes have some friendship.

Ron was naturally a little sad to hear that another old friend had passed away.

"Mr. Ron is here this time..." Chuck chuckled, put the sad emotions behind, and asked.

"You kid, what else can I do when I come to your place besides eating?" Ron couldn't help laughing and scolding.

When Chuck heard this, he touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Hahaha, that's what the old man said..."

"Ah!! Grandpa, why are you still chatting? I'm about to starve to death!"

Luffy couldn't help but shouted loudly.

This time, even if Ron beat him into a pig's head, he would still protest.

For Luffy, watching others eat in a tavern filled with aroma was tantamount to the most painful torture in the world.

"Grandpa?"

Chuck glanced at Luffy in surprise.

The person who can be called Grandpa Ron should be Garp's grandson.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Garp’s grandson would be so old.

Seeing Luffy's state, Chuck smiled and said, "Then I won't bother Mr. Ron here."

He turned around and looked at the lobby manager and said: "Gangzi, take Mr. Ron to the Tianzihao private room, and then notify the chef to prepare those signature dishes. I want to cook for the old man myself!"

"Yes! Boss!" the lobby manager responded.

Darling, the boss who hasn’t cooked for a long time actually wants to cook today.

This is the highest standard of reception in their tavern now.

But before the lobby manager Gangzi could run away, Ron raised his hand to stop him.

He pointed to the corner where Lei Li was staying and said, "There is no need for a private room. There happens to be an old friend of mine over there. I can just eat there."

Just say it, Ron ignored Chuck and walked over carelessly.

Boss Chuck looked in Ron's direction.

When he saw clearly the white-haired old man sitting alone in the corner of the tavern, his heart skipped a beat.

"Pluto Rayleigh? When did this old man come?"

But then, Chuck frowned again.

"That's not right... Pluto Rayleigh is a pirate, and Mr. Ron is a navy. When did they become old friends?"

But Luffy didn't care how Chuck reacted.

He was the first to chase after Ron, with a happy expression on his face.

"Hey! Finally we can have a big meal!"

Smelling the aroma coming from the dining tables around him, Luffy's stomach was already growling, and there was even drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The other customers around him looked disgusted when they saw Luffy's appearance.

If they hadn't seen that the old man was so familiar with the boss here, they would have called security to kick Luffy out.

However, even if they called the security guard, would the security guard dare to do that?

Even if you give the security guard [-] courage, he wouldn’t even dare!

After arriving in front of Rayleigh, Ron sat down unceremoniously, raised his pipe, and smiled at Rayleigh: "Boy Rayleigh, it's been a long time since we last met."

After hearing this, Rayleigh, who had been prepared for a long time, still shook his head with a wry smile. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said bitterly: "Mr. Ron, I have been out of the sea for such a long time, your old man will not still remember me. That sword feud back then, right?"
