Chapter 54—A Year in Chambord (3)
At the market, Raleigh is waiting for customers to come to their door.
Having lived in Chambord for several years, he mastered the art of coating. If the pirates want to go to the New World, they can only coat it here, then dive to Fish-Man Island and leave through the passage below the Red Earth.
So in Chambord, coating is a very profitable craft. It's just that the money is not enough to feed Reilly's wine bugs, so Reilly sells himself as a slave from time to time to make a fortune to use as a drinker.
"Strange, such a sharp sword intent." As he was walking towards the abyss of drunkenness, Reilly was suddenly awakened by a gaze.
As a swordsman, Rayleigh was almost unmatched a dozen years ago, and only a few people could stand by him. And none of those people had such pure sword intent, because they were all people who had eaten Devil Fruits.
"Hawkeye—Mihawk?" With an affirmative tone in his inquiry, Reilly looked at the source of his gaze.
What kind of eyes are these, good fellows? The narrow eyes were full of battle intent, and the yellow eyes seemed as if two swords were about to pierce out.
"Sure enough, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames." Reilly secretly praised in his heart, and slowly got up under Mihawk's gaze.
"Immortal—Reilly!" Facing a strong enemy, Mihawk's hand unconsciously touched the black knife on his back.
Reilly has always been the big swordsman that Mihawk wants to challenge, and there is no one, even if the pirate who is as famous as One Piece is like the Golden Lion Shiki, he has to rank behind Reilly. Because Reilly is the only pure swordsman alive alive, this will be Mihawk's best opponent.
"It's been really unlucky in the past few years, in addition to the navy named Lei last time, there was actually a tricky guy who found me." In the face of Mihawk's fighting spirit, Reilly secretly felt sorry for himself.
Just when Reilly thought that Mihawk was about to issue a challenge, Mihawk suddenly lowered his hand and turned away.
"What's going on? Could it be that you see that I don't have a sword in my hand? Reilly was puzzled, he understood very well the fighting intent of this kind of swordsman when he saw his kind, so he didn't expect Mihawk to turn around and leave.
Why did Mihawk leave? Of course, part of the reason is that Reilly doesn't have a sword in his hand, but the main thing is that Mihawk doesn't want to implicate Tom and the others. If they fight here, it is destined to cause a lot of commotion, and Tom and the others are likely to be exposed at that time.
In the misunderstanding, Reilly admired this junior very much, so he shouted, "Hey! Boy, if you're short of opponents, go find a guy named Shanks. He's probably about to get here now. ”
"Shanks!" For Reilly's words, Mihawk took it to heart, and went away under the pressure of the fighting spirit.

Far away on the sea, a pirate ship with a Chinese dragon carved on its bow sails on the calm sea.
On the deck of the ship's hull, a red-haired man sneezed hard. "Who's talking about me?" Covering the straw hat on his head, the red-haired man muttered.

Chambord Naval Base
With a lot of effort, Ray finally returned to the place where he had first come two years ago. Here, Ray and Zefa are reunited after thirteen years of separation; It was here that Ray made his vow to surpass Zefa.
Looking at everything in the base with emotion, Ray was a little nostalgic for those days.
Because Owen and the others took the first step, the base at this time had already learned of Lei's arrival, and a major general was waiting for Lei with a complicated expression in the crowd of his subordinates.
The major general didn't know what kind of attitude to use to face Lei's arrival, was he glad that he was out of the sea of suffering? Or sympathy thunder falls like an abyss?
"Welcome to Colonel Lei, you will be in charge of this place in the future, I believe you can manage this place better." When Ray stepped through the gate, the Major General took the initiative to reach out.
"You're welcome, Mr. Major General. I'm just a fledgling kid and I need more guidance from you. For those who were polite to him, Lei had always been equally polite, so he shook the hand of the major general vigorously.
"Let's be nice to him! I don't know how long he'll be here. The Major General thought to himself, and a smile of deep meaning appeared on his face.
After greetings, Lei and Major General walked to the conference room, intending to formally complete the handover task there.

Chambord Naval Base, Conference Room.
"Anyway, that's about what we do. It may be a little difficult for you to accept, but in the face of the Draconians, we can only do so. Before leaving, the major general gave Lei all his experience of working here.
Although he had been prepared for this and had heard the introduction of the Fire Mountain, he still frowned when Ray was actually standing here.
"The Celestial Dragons don't talk about it for the time being, why don't you clear the island again? The black industry is still rampant here. Ray asked.
Looking at the subordinates around him, the major general leaned into Lei's ear and said, "We can't help this, Colonel Lei, this matter is very complicated and involves a lot." Even if it is you, I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Mr. Zefa will be implicated. ”
"Is that so? I know. Ray sat back in his chair, his fists clenched, his eyes revealing forbearance and firmness.

Chambord Islands, Island One.
After a year, Don Quixote Doflamingo set foot on this land again.
"This is it, Torrebol, where I'm going to build the biggest auction house." Walking into a clearing, Doflamingo said to a sloppy uncle beside him who had two pieces of snot on his nose at all times.
"The young master is wise, all kinds of people gather here, if our auction house has a complete variety, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money." Torrebol sniffed, grumbling. His two snots were hanging in the air, and they were dangling in the wind, making people feel sick to see them.
"By the way, I've heard that human trafficking is the hottest thing here, so our auction house is mainly doing this! Torrebol, Pika, what do you think? Doflamingo was in high spirits and laughed arrogantly.
Because they managed to hide from the eyes of the navy and avoid surveillance, they were very proud at this time.
"The decision of the young master is our will." Torrebol struck the ass again, looking happy.
Pika was silent, wearing a cross-faced helmet on his head and a stiff armor. As one of the top cadres, he was tall and had wavy hair.
In the eyes of unfamiliar people, Pika is a taciturn and unsmiling person. Only those who are familiar with it know that Pika is actually reluctant to speak because of his thin voice. Pika's voice really didn't match his stature, but he himself was extremely mindful of this, and every time someone laughed at him, he would beat him half to death.
Doflamingo, who knew this, did not blame Pika, but just stood on the high ground with pleasure, looking down on the people below.
"New World! I'm coming! ”
