Chapter 526: Red Hair's Ordeal
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated.
Only by mastering Observation Killing technique himself could he figure out ways to break this technique, right?
"Observation Killing?"
Rayleigh raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've encountered an unimaginably formidable opponent."
"In any case, a level I completely don't want to fight."
Brett sighed helplessly. "But I have no choice but to oppose him."
"Hahahaha, the world always makes people involuntary!"
Rayleigh laughed heartily. "However, regarding Observation Killing, honestly, I've only seen it on Roger. I haven't mastered this technique myself, let alone teach you."
He said seriously, "All I can do is provide some suggestions based on that Roger fellow's remarks."
"Being able to provide some guidance is already sufficient."
Brett said. "Far better than me fumbling forward knowing nothing."
"That's good then."
Rayleigh nodded lightly, then looked at Brett somewhat suspiciously. "However, Brett, how come I feel your aura has become somewhat exaggerated?"
Brett smiled slightly. "Just completed Devil Fruit ability awakening."
Rayleigh froze momentarily, then laughed heartily. "So you hadn't awakened before! I thought you'd already awakened long ago!"
When unawakened, he was already so exaggeratedly strong. So now after awakening?
This kid's strength had completely surpassed ordinary imagination.
Roger, without doubt, Brett is the person we've been waiting for.
Only he has the ability to fight that monster.
"In any case, let's discuss other matters after reaching Fish-Man Island."
Rayleigh stood up and stretched. "Moreover, Garp and the others should also be on Fish-Man Island now, right? Haha, it's been many years since I fought alongside that old bastard!"
The last time they fought side by side was over thirty years ago, at God Valley opposing Rocks. Back then, Roger, Rayleigh, plus the Navy's Garp together defeated that world's strongest evil legion at the time.
"However, they're currently overwhelmed with work. Probably no time to reminisce with you."
Brett said with a smile.
"That's best. I don't want to deal with that old bastard."
Shakky said with some distaste.
Years ago, she'd also been a famous pirate sailing the seas. Unfortunately, she later encountered a Navy named Iron Fist Garp, got chased until she simply abandoned pirate life, washing her hands of it and withdrawing from the underworld.
"In any case, let's return to Fish-Man Island first."
Brett said.
"Good, then I'll pack up first."
Shakky still felt somewhat reflective.
She looked around this empty tavern. Though there was never any business, this was still a place where she'd poured decades of effort.
Just directly leaving like this, she felt somewhat reluctant.
Just didn't know if opening such a tavern on Fish-Man Island would be convenient.
"Pack? No need to pack."
Brett smiled. "Wouldn't it be fine to just move the entire house?"
Shakky directly froze.
"Hahahahaha, Shakky, aren't you underestimating Brett a bit?"
Rayleigh laughed heartily. "If he's willing now, even moving the entire Sabaody Archipelago probably isn't anything difficult!"
Brett shrugged.
For him who'd already awakened, this indeed wasn't anything he couldn't do.
Once upon a time, moving islands that predecessor Golden Lion could accomplish with the Float-Float Fruit—now Brett could also do it using clouds.
"You only need to wait inside for a bit."
Brett strode out of the bar.
Then the next instant, the crimson dragon soared into the sky.
Without even needing to activate awakening, Brett directly released cloud, directly pulling this tavern into the sky along with the hillside beneath.
After making the tavern fly into the sky, he brought it toward Sabaody Archipelago's coast.
Releasing a massive bubble to cover the entire tavern, Brett then dove into the sea with it.
"I never thought there'd be a day when I could coat a house."
While still not in the complete deep sea, with light still around, Shakky approached the window, gazing at the ocean floor scenery outside. She said with a smile, "Old Ray, you seem to have taught a coating master even more formidable than you."
Fair to say, in coating, Brett was indeed far stronger than Rayleigh. After all, he could release bubbles at will directly.
"The student surpassing the teacher—this is exactly what every teacher hopes for."
Rayleigh didn't mind this at all.
Disciples surpassing teachers—wasn't this natural?
If taught disciples turned out inferior to oneself, that would be what deserved reflection.
The bar gradually entered the deep sea. Surrounding light gradually disappeared. Shakky lit candles. In the flickering candlelight, Brett stepped through the door.
"Brett, are you sure there's no problem not controlling from outside?"
Shakky asked somewhat surprised.
"No need," Brett shook his head. "Just observing the surroundings with Observation Haki is fine."
He was too familiar with this route. The only possible trouble was reckless Sea Beasts or Sea Kings might charge over.
That didn't matter either. He just needed to use Conqueror's Haki to persuade them to retreat when they approached.
"Worthy of Brett indeed."
Shakky smiled.
Just as Brett was about to say something, the Den Den Mushi's sound suddenly rang out.
Purururu purururu.
The shrill Den Den Mushi sound interrupted Brett's words.
His brow furrowed slightly. He pulled out the Den Den Mushi and answered.
Which good friend had encountered what trouble now?
The Den Den Mushi had just connected when an urgent voice came from the other end.
"Though I'm sorry to disturb you, we've encountered big trouble now, Brett!"
"This voice is—"
Brett froze. What a coincidence!
"Shanks?"
Rayleigh had already directly stuck his head over.
"Hm? Is that Rayleigh? Brett, you're with Rayleigh?"
The man on the phone, Shanks, said with surprise.
"Yes, I was preparing to bring Rayleigh back to Fish-Man Island. You know, the current situation is unsafe," Brett explained, then asked seriously. "So Shanks, can you tell me what happened?"
"Whew—oh right, there's urgent business!"
Red Hair seemed to have just remembered, hastily saying, "We're being chased by that Imu!"
"What?"
Brett frowned. "Are you alright?"
"Should be fine short-term. I'm with Uranus! But Uranus's speed seems unable to shake off that thing's pursuit!"
Uranus had been targeted?
He had to go.
