Pirates: Dark Smoker, never lose three times in a row

The two sides saw each other, but they were still in the same place.

Smoker stood in front of the door, actually a little hesitant.

It was because of Rayleigh's identity and his strength.

Now Rayleigh can live here peacefully because the navy turned a blind eye.

Both sides saw through but did not say anything, maintaining a strange tacit understanding.

Once he exposed the other party's identity and lifted the fig leaf, what would Rayleigh's attitude be?

Once the battle between him and Rayleigh was known, could the navy still pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Let's talk about strength.

11 years later, Rayleigh and Kizaru were basically on par.

Although Rayleigh 13 years later could not beat Blackbeard, who had the double fruit, he also forced the other party to give in.

So now Rayleigh must be an absolute emperor-level warrior,

or an emperor-level warrior who is not restrained by the Dark-Dark Fruit and can exert 100% of his combat power.

Now Smoker has never thought about fighting against the emperor-level pirates.

His greatest confidence is his super strong body and good domineering, as well as the Dark-Dark Fruit that has been developed to awakening and can attack, control and heal.

Even if he can't beat Rayleigh, he can always get away unscathed!

But now there is Xia Qi, and there is a big question mark.

This former emperor of the Nine Snakes is probably also at the level of Shichibukai. This kind of strength is nothing in Smoker's eyes.

But if she steps forward to block him at the critical moment of his escape, Rayleigh can immediately entangle him.

In this way, his chances of getting away unscathed will plummet...

Smoker thought for a while and decided to challenge him.

[Just come here to compete, not really to fight life and death. 】

【I believe that as long as we fight, Rayleigh will understand my attitude...】

【As long as he wants to live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago, he will not kill me! 】

Smoker took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked in.

But when he saw the two people sitting at the counter drinking, he was completely dumbfounded.

It turned out to be...

Both were men, one wearing glasses and with long blond hair, it was Pluto Rayleigh, but the other was not Xia Qi at all, but a young man with red hair.

Smoker couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Red-haired Shanks?!"

Rayleigh and Shanks had also noticed the presence of a strong man outside early on, and when they saw that the person coming was a navy, they were also stunned on the spot.

For a while, the atmosphere was as silent as death.

Smoker was confused and shocked.

Damn, why is Shanks here? !

Oh... By the way, he did meet Rayleigh once after he and Luffy parted ways,

But he didn't say it was so long ago!

A full year! !

However, if one is not in a hurry to travel from Windmill Village to Sabaody Archipelago, a year doesn't seem to be too slow...

Suddenly, Smoker had an idea.

He just wanted to find a strong man to compete with, and he didn't have to find Rayleigh. As long as he didn't reveal Rayleigh's identity, there would be no need to embarrass him! !

So, Smoker pointed at Shanks and angrily scolded him righteously.

"Pirate Red-Haired Shanks! You are in Sabaody Archipelago!"

"I didn't expect a big pirate like you to do such a despicable thing as holding an innocent old man hostage."

"I, Smoker, a staff officer of the Navy Headquarters and the base commander of the G12 branch, will arrest you today in the name of justice!!"

Then, he looked at Rayleigh with a righteous look on his face.

"Although this is a no-development zone, I will never give up any innocent people."

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely rescue you from the evil pirates!"

As the IQ leader of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh is also an old fox whose strategy is not inferior to that of Zephyr Sengoku, and he immediately understood Smoker's plan.

Seeing Smoker talking nonsense seriously, he almost laughed out loud.

He finally held back, then nodded and said seriously: "Thank you so much, Brother Smoker!!"

Then he turned his head and said to Shanks: "Hey, pirate brother, someone challenged you, don't you accept the challenge?!"

Shanks was confused, what's going on? !

But seeing Rayleigh's half-smile, he could only laugh dryly: "Haha, since you said so..."

He slowly got up and picked up the Griffin next to him.

"Mr. Navy, I will obey your orders!"

Rayleigh was not worried at all, but looked like a man of fun.

"My tavern can't stand your noise, let's go to the east, there are not many people there..."

Smoker said first: "It's settled,

I'll wait for you in the east! Pirate Shanks, don't run away!"

After saying that, he didn't care about the life or death of the "hostage" and pushed the door open.

Shanks was stunned: "Uh, Mr. Rayleigh..."

Rayleigh laughed.

"This kid named Smoker is really an interesting guy who knows how to advance and retreat..."

"Go... If I'm not mistaken, he will be the leader of the future navy. It's not a bad thing to know him in advance."

"But be careful, although this guy is low-key, his strength cannot be underestimated..."

"Indeed." Shanks nodded: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I didn't expect that the owner of this huge aura would be such a young navy."

Rayleigh slowly stood up.

"You don't have to worry too much, I will go to watch the battle, and I am also curious about the young buds of the navy."

"However, it is not convenient for me to help you in my current position. I hope you can understand..."

"Of course, Mr. Rayleigh, you just be a spectator! "

Smoker's eyes flashed with confidence: "I don't think I will lose! ! "

Island No. 3 of the Sabaody Archipelago, a deserted land with few people.

Smoker stood here and waited quietly.

[Rayleigh really doesn't want to fall out with the navy... He just pretends to be a hostage, this is the best situation!]

[Red-haired Shanks, the strongest of the younger generation of pirates, is really a suitable opponent...]

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he took a step to the side.

The next moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly flashed, containing endless power and might, and the blazing light made everything around it pale in comparison.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light cut through where Smoker stood, leaving a narrow, deep, mirror-like and endless gully on the ground.

Smoker patted the dust on his body.

"A big pirate with a bounty of more than 1.6 billion actually used such a despicable trick of sneak attack! "

When Shanks was in Windmill Village, his bounty was 1.04 billion Baileys.

After a year and after several major events, it has risen to 1.6 billion Baileys...

Holding the Griffin, Shanks walked out of the shadows step by step.

At this moment, he was no longer as gentle as he was in the tavern just now. Instead, his eyes were sharp and his whole body exuded a sharp and cold temperament. Looking from a distance, it made people feel creepy and frightened.

That was the spirit watered by countless fights, lives and blood.

The Griffin in his hand was flashing with a faint light.

As Shanks walked, black lightning continued to explode from it.

Wherever the black lightning passed, sand and stones splashed and trees broke, as if to tear the entire space apart.

"I am a pirate... In the dictionary of pirates, there is only victory and defeat, life and death, and there is no word despicable. "

Suddenly, Smoker felt a huge aura appear on the top of the tree next to him. It was Rayleigh.

However, he had no intention of getting close. He seemed to just want to be a spectator.

Smoker felt relieved and bumped his fists together, making a sound of metal collision.

"It doesn't matter. You can use any means, sneak attack, hidden weapon, poison... whatever you want! !"

"But you have to let me enjoy it!"
