"Ye Chen, are we going back directly?" Lysa sat on top of Osiris, her expression somewhat reserved, carefully looking at Ye Chen. If it weren't for their mistake, Lord Ye Chen wouldn't have had to make a trip himself, and almost been threatened. Lysa and the others felt very guilty about this.
"Lord Ye Chen." Lysa saw Ye Chen remaining silent and was very fearful, thinking Ye Chen was angry. Ye Chen heard her and turned his head, looking at Lysa with some question: "What's wrong?" "I... Lord Ye Chen... it's all because of our incompetence. I'm sorry." Ye Chen then realized that Lysa and the others thought he was angry.
"Am I that scary?" Ye Chen rubbed his chin, secretly thinking. "It's nothing, as long as you're safe." Ye Chen smiled, then paused: "By the way, is your pirate ship still there?" Seeing that Ye Chen didn't blame them, Lysa and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The pirate ship is still docked at the pier. Shall we go back now?" Lysa asked. "I'm temporarily taking you to a place. You can stay there for a while," Ye Chen said with a smile.
...
Sabaody Archipelago, a certain area. Suddenly, from the sky, a massive dragon-like creature swept across, finally stopping at the edge of the area. After Osiris stopped, Lysa and the others, along with Ye Chen, all jumped down. Under Ye Chen's lead, everyone arrived in front of a bar.
"Where is this, Lord Ye Chen?" Lysa asked. "This place? It's a place that can temporarily protect you," Ye Chen said with a smile. In truth, he wasn't sure. He didn't know if the people inside would agree. But whatever it was, he had to try. If not, he could only have Osiris take them away. Ye Chen took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Welcome." What met his eyes was a woman with black hair, dressed in spider-patterned clothes, holding a cigarette. Shakky, known as Aunt Shakky, was once a pirate, and the wife of Silvers Rayleigh.
"Young man, you look familiar! I think I've seen you somewhere." Aunt Shakky's eyes narrowed instantly when she saw Ye Chen enter, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Aunt Shakky, I'd like to see Uncle Rayleigh." Ye Chen smiled, getting straight to the point.
"Who is this person?" The Kuja warriors behind Ye Chen looked surprised when they heard what Ye Chen said. In their minds, Ye Chen feared nothing, showing no fear even when facing a colossal entity like the World Government. But today, in this small bar, he was calling a woman "Aunt Shakky." What kind of identity did this person have?
"Oh, you know Rayleigh." Aunt Shakky glanced at Ye Chen, then turned and said towards the back: "Rayleigh, come out for a bit, someone's looking for you."
"Who's looking for me? Is it that Red-Hair brat?" As soon as the voice fell, an ordinary old man with white hair and a white beard, dressed plainly, walked out from the back. "You know me?" Rayleigh looked at Ye Chen with some question. "Who doesn't know the famous Dark King Rayleigh?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
...
"Dark King Rayleigh!!!!!!!!" Lysa and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Rayleigh with disbelief. They hadn't expected the famous Vice-Captain of the Pirate King's crew to be here, in such a small bar. Rayleigh's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep look at Ye Chen: "Speak, what do you want with me this time?" Ye Chen heard him and took a deep breath: "I want to ask Uncle Rayleigh a favor."
"What is it?" "Please help me protect them." Ye Chen pointed to Lysa and the others behind him. "Are they from Amazon Lily?" Rayleigh asked. Ye Chen nodded. "I can protect them. I'm a bit curious, with your abilities, you could completely protect them. Why entrust them to me? We're strangers. Aren't you worried I might harm them?" Rayleigh asked.
"My information has already been leaked. The Admiral dispatched by the Marines is probably almost here. I won't have time to look after them during the battle," Ye Chen explained. "As for why I'm entrusting them to Uncle Rayleigh, it's because I trust you."
"Trust a stranger, interesting, interesting, interesting." Rayleigh looked deeply at Ye Chen.
"Then this matter..." "I agree. I will protect them until you personally come to take them away," Rayleigh replied. "Thank you. I owe you a favor," Ye Chen said. "A favor, huh?" Rayleigh murmured in his heart.
"You all stay here for now. I'll come to pick you up later," Ye Chen said and walked out.
...
"You actually agreed. That's not like you," Aunt Shakky said faintly, looking at Rayleigh. "It's no trouble at all," Rayleigh smiled.
