When talking about the rubbings seized from Lingling, Lei Li smiled particularly happily.

"At that time, we had no idea what we had seized from Lingling. We only knew that although we could not understand the words, Lingling cared very much about that thing!

It must be a good thing to make her value it so much, so we put that thing in the cabin to pressurize the ship.

Later, after Rocks died, the sea gradually calmed down, and we no longer needed to devote our energy to endless wars.

So after that, we returned to the starting point of the Grand Line, Upside Down Mountain!"

Having said this, Rayleigh stretched out his hand and made two gestures on the gold.

"As we all know, when we passed through the Upside Down Mountain from all directions, we officially entered the Grand Line.

We will face a choice!

There are a total of seven routes on the Grand Line. Each of these seven routes has its own ocean current. As long as we choose one, we cannot change the route midway and can only go all the way along the selected route.

When we sailed for the first time, we took the leftmost route, which was the route that started from Meteor Island and passed through the country of Bali after coming down from Upside Down Mountain.

So after our second trip to sea, we boarded other routes.

In this way, year after year, we searched for the path that would allow us to approach the final island on every route.

But ten years have passed and we still haven’t found any clues about the final island!”

Rayleigh took a heavy sip of wine.

"That's not a year or two, but a whole ten years. The most important thing is...

In the past ten years, we have not only received scars all over our bodies, but also received extremely painful news.

Roger is suffering from an incurable disease!

!”

On the side, Gawain nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, finally reaching the key point.

He listened extremely carefully to what Reilly said, because even he didn't know much about this information before traveling through time.

After all, Gawain is just an ordinary fan. He is not a fanatic, and he will not go out of his way to remember the timeline of the world of One Piece.

Therefore, like everyone else, he listened quietly and carefully to the clues of history.

Rayleigh let out a long sigh, and then he continued to tell.

"When Roger knew he was terminally ill, he was anxious, really anxious!

In other words, all of us became anxious.

We hurriedly called for Kurokas, the most powerful doctor at the time, and let him board our ship.

Ha, that old guy is very dissatisfied with this. He really doesn’t want to become a pirate, but..."

Rayleigh smiled and pointed at Gawain.

"Gawain, you haven't met Roger in person, so you won't feel the charm of him.

It's a kind of...as long as he makes up his mind to seriously invite us, we can't refuse his charm!

But, haha, although you can't feel that kind of charm, little Peach Usagi, little Jinbei and everyone else can feel that kind of charm. I actually felt that kind of charm for the second time.

Because your charm is even worse than Roger's!

!”

On the sidelines, listening to Reilly's examples, a group of people suddenly understood what Roger's charm felt like.

As for Gawain, he chuckled and waved his hand.

"Old man, no matter how much you praise me, I won't increase your annuity, so let's keep telling the story."

"Tsk, tsk, you are neither arrogant nor impetuous. You are different from Roger in this respect. That guy is so loud.

But it’s okay, this is who you are, and it’s your composure that gives me more confidence!”

Rayleigh nodded, then he looked around and continued.

"After Roger became seriously ill, we accelerated our voyage. At the same time, although we had no clue, we also found many stone tablets similar to Lingling's historical text rubbings around the world.

Although I can't understand it,

But we also regarded him as one of the clues and frantically pursued the traces of the final island.

And during this period, trouble came to us again, and this trouble is called the Golden Lion, Shiji!"

Rayleigh gritted his teeth in displeasure.

"That guy's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He has never been satisfied with being the Three Emperors. He doesn't even care about the position of Pirate King. He just wants to be the Rocks of the past and gather all the pirates together.

The world government is completely at war!

For this purpose, Golden Lion approached White Beard, but unfortunately, White Beard did not agree to Golden Lion's plan.

After all, Whitebeard is no longer a simple pirate. Now he is a patriarch. He is very concerned about the safety of his sons, and he does not want to start a war with anyone and cause more killings.

So, the Golden Lion, who failed to negotiate with Whitebeard, teamed up with Lingling and set their target on us!

You should have all heard of the naval battle of Atvor in 1497 AD. It was at that damn place that I faced the most dangerous battle in my life.

Even when we were dealing with Rocks, with the help of that bastard Garp, we were never forced into a real dilemma.

But that time, we fought until both sides were close to death!

Fortunately, God favored us, and a sudden and huge storm brought our war to an end. In the end, our two teams could not decide the winner.

But after this naval battle, our ship became more and more dilapidated, and it was almost impossible to sail on the sea.

Moreover, Roger's health is getting worse and worse..."

Rayleigh took another sip of wine, and after finishing the wine bottle, he threw the wine bottle away into the distance.

Then he continued.

"In order to find the final island in the last stage of life, we needed a faster ship, so in 1498, we came to the Capital of Seven Waters.

By the way, that year, that guy Frankie had just become Tom’s disciple. Haha, we had met that guy when he was very young.

Anyway, we asked Tom Boatwright to build us a new boat, the Euro Jackson!

After that, we drove the speedboat back to the new world and continued to collect information about the final island.

And while we were collecting, the last factor that led to our success appeared!

!”

In Gawain's eyes, Rayleigh was extremely excited at this moment. He was old but his arrogance was not diminished at all, as if he had returned to that high-spirited era.

I saw him clapped his hands heavily.

"In the new world, when we were exploring an island, we met Whitebeard again, haha.

To be honest, our two pirate groups rarely fight for a long time, but this time, the Whitebeard group seemed to have a new guy with good strength, and that guy charged at us from a long distance away.

No need to look, we all know that that one is Leng Touqing, but because of his great strength, Jabba and I both want to have a fight with him.

But, haha, the closer Roger got to death, the more he missed the feeling of fighting, so he just snatched away the enemy.

With a sudden dodge, the stupid green man was slashed by Roger and flew more than 800 meters, breaking a dozen giant trees before he came to a stop.

So Roger fought with Whitebeard, who was protecting his shortcomings, for another three days and three nights.

After the war ended, we drank with Whitebeard. As we drank, Roger knelt down to Whitebeard. He seriously asked Whitebeard to lend us the stupid young man for a few years!

Because the surname of that stupid young man is Guangyue, which is the surname of the family that created the historical text!

It stands to reason that borrowing crew members would be impossible. Whitebeard also got angry and we almost had another fight.

However, Leng Tou Qing actually wanted to join us, and he himself made a request to Whitebeard to follow us.

Just like that, Oden came to our ship with his cat Viper and became our crew!"

Having said this, Rayleigh's eyes narrowed and his attitude became more solemn.

"Because of Oden's joining, the rest of our journey was placed in places where ordinary texts were stored. Through Oden's translation, we found more clues from those stone tablets, that is, other histories.

The position of the text.

Until we arrived at Sky Island and came to where we are sitting now. After looking at the stone slab, Oden translated the location of Neptune.

After Roger asked Oden to carve traces of our visit on the stone slab, we followed the guide of the stone slab of Sky Island to Fishman Island. As a result, although there was no Sea King on Fishman Island, we found the first red piece there.

Historical text!

When Oden translated the content of the red historical text for us, we were completely shocked. It turns out that the real key to the final island is the only four red road signs in the world!

And at this moment, the favor of fate appeared!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Rayleigh's face, and then he said with deep meaning.

"The year 1498 in the Haiyuan Calendar was an extremely magical year. Just after we deciphered the text of the first road sign from Fish-Man Island, we found all the text of the road sign in just one moment!

The one on Mermaid Island is the first road sign, and the one we copied from Lingling's Wanguo is the second road sign.

As for the third and fourth road signs, they are actually in the hometowns of Oden and Cat Viper respectively!
