Chapter 593 Not Now

Ruskaina is an island located in the doldrums. There are beasts everywhere on the island. There was once a country there, but it was destroyed in the war.

This island is very dangerous. There are many beasts living on it. In addition, it is located in the doldrums, so it can be regarded as "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.

The coordinates of Ruskaina are in the northwest of Nine Snake Island, and the two are not far away.

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

Rayleigh believes that an environment that is too comfortable will weaken Luffy's growth, and Ruskaina is the "place" he deliberately selected.

It has been more than a year since the war at the top, and Luffy has improved a lot.

Originally, as a member of the Worst Generation, Luffy's potential was recognized as the best... because the Straw Hat Pirates' departure time to reach Shampoo Land was the fastest among all the supernovas, which also illustrates the problem from the side.

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

"Hehe."

On a towering tree, Rayleigh sat on the trunk high up with a red face, shaking the bottom, and Luffy, who was trapped in the beast group and besieged by a large number of beasts, smiled unconsciously.

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

This is the "course" for practicing observation Haki.

Luffy has grown from "crying out" at the beginning to being calm now.

It seems that he has a premonition of the attacks from all angles and areas, and has 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. It is not a simple one-on-one or one-on-ten... If you want to create space and opportunity in an instant with the advantage brought by Observation Haki, you must use Armament Haki.

Rayleigh smiled because he felt relieved.

With the control and improvement of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, Luffy's Conqueror Haki naturally became more familiar with control and use.

Compared with the image of a young boy during the war at the top, Luffy already has a certain foundation of three-color Haki.

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

This is indeed their era.

Pululu.

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

He took it out and answered it.

"Are you with Luffy?"

A familiar heavy voice sounded.

Rayleigh's expression of drinking suddenly became sober, and his eyes fixed.

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

It was Shanks.

"What's wrong?"

Rayleigh had a premonition of something.

"We have left Wan Guo... We are on the way to find you. Be careful, the God Slayer is looking for 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 for you, but Luffy."

"He wants to kill Luffy."

"..."

Rayleigh was silent and frowned.

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 not have the eyes for a little brat like Luffy. After all, even if Luffy is now "a little famous", he cannot pose a threat to the Hell Pirates. To say that the 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 is a bit of a downgrade of Oboro's status.

Rayleigh had told Shanks before that if there was a big fight between Oboro and Shanks, he would not take action... and would not help Shanks.

The people that the Hell Pirates should focus on are Kaido, Shanks, and the Five Elders.

How could it be Luffy?

The only thing Rayleigh could think of was that Oboro knew that Shanks cared about Luffy, including some of the special features of the Straw Hats... in order to take revenge on the Red Hair Pirates.

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

Shanks said self-deprecatingly.

"The possibility of Luffy... you and I are very clear, and he... also knows."

"..."

Rayleigh.

"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 whole world came, Luffy would definitely not be absent."

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

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

"I realized it a long time ago."

Shanks said slowly.

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

"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 new weapons are developed, the power of the World Government will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, the system of the Seven Warlords 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 gives me a feeling of being too dangerous... I have a different opinion from the Five Elders. I have advised them to gather all their strength to stop the Hell Pirates. However, hundreds of years of arrogance and arrogance have blinded them and made them too conceited."

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

"The Five Elders don't realize the key to the problem at all."

Shanks expressed his attitude again.

"..."

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

"..."

However, as soon as the words fell, Rayleigh's body froze.

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

"What's wrong?"

Red Hair saw Rayleigh didn't say anything, and his tone was nervous.

"Trouble..."

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

"..."

"The fact that I brought Luffy to Ruskena is unknown to outsiders. It is an absolutely confidential matter. The Nine Snakes can't leak the news, and no one on your side can tell... How did he find this place?"

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

Red Hair reminded.

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

Rayleigh smiled indifferently.

"Shanks..."

"..."

"I'm listening."

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

"..."

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