Chapter 560 - The Vice Admiral in the Eyes of “Dark King” Rayleigh
Chapter 560 - The Vice Admiral in the Eyes of “Dark King” Rayleigh
Mary Geoise.
Kabuto could not help but be a little surprised.
Even if Kabuto knew in his heart that even if it took a little longer, the World Government Commander-in-Chief would be his. No one could be his rival.
However, the current Kabuto had never thought that the Five Elder Stars would actually promise to let him take over Kong’s Commander-in-Chief position after the war ended.
“This…”
There was some surprise in Kabuto’s eyes. His face slowly showed some hesitation and fear, but there was also a complex mix of fear and joy, “Commander Kong, his health is not bad, right? And I have only reached this stage today because I have always followed the teachings and orders of the Five Elder Stars. If I rashly occupy a high position…”
“Kabuto, don’t talk nonsense in front of us.”
Among the Five Elder Stars, an old man who had been sitting on the sofa and watching coldly glanced at Kabuto. His face revealed a hint of disdain and ridicule, “We all saw your desire for power. The current Commander-in-Chief, Kong, can’t actually do anything except drink tea in his own office!”
This sentence was a bit too much.
Moreover…
The Five Elder Stars still can’t hide their arrogance!
This was also very logical.
The Five Elder Stars were very clear that the reason why Kabuto was able to have his current status today was because of the power that they had bestowed upon him. They naturally could also take back his power and status.
Kabuto could act high and mighty in front of a Fleet Admiral, but in front of them, it was better to learn to be obedient!
“Alright.”
The other old man waved his hand. He looked at Kabuto’s expression and revealed an intriguing smile, “Kabuto, don’t worry. We have considered it before deciding to appoint you as the next Commander-in-Chief…”
The old man slowly closed his palm and continued calmly, “This is also a reward for the new CP department that you built. To be able to solve the Red Hair Pirates… I believe that the next war will not fail our expectations.”
“Yes.”
The last old man holding a sword looked at Kabuto and said in a low voice, “We have officially notified Sengoku. The upcoming war between the Marine and Whitebeard will be under your command!
Kabuto, whether you can make use of this war to convince everyone that you can become the Commander-in-Chief depends on your own ability!”
When he said this, the old man suddenly grinned and continued, “According to our thoughts, of course, we hope that you can sit in that position as soon as possible…”
“I understand.”
Kabuto nodded and pushed up his glasses, “In a week, the news agency will announce the real execution time. According to our current chips, Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army should not be absent from this feast.”
“That’s good.”
The Five Elder Stars nodded in satisfaction. One of them waved his hand, “That’s good. You can go now.”
“Yes.”
Kabuto got up and left.
The five old men in charge of the world’s highest authority watched Kabuto leave silently. After the door closed, they began to discuss Kabuto again.
“What a good chess piece…”
“Even if there is a new Admiral in the Marine, to us, it is far less useful than Kabuto’s wisdom.”
“It is a pity that his strength is too weak…”
“Just from Kabuto’s performance, such a little guy with no strength but extraordinary wisdom sitting in a high position is perfect for us.”
“It is precisely because his strength is too weak that he is easily controlled by us. A person who enjoys a position that he is unable to sit steadily in and can only work wholeheartedly for us. Only by gaining our trust can he continue to maintain his power.”
Because of Kabuto’s existence…
The Five Elder Stars indeed saved a lot of trouble.
No matter how troubled the World Government was, Kabuto could help them solve it.
For some important matters, all they need to do was to choose the one they like the most among the many options that Kabuto provided.
A person in a high position…
The most important thing was to use people.
At this point, Sengoku was a bit too bad.
In order to take away a Marine Captain from Kabuto’s hand, Sengoku forcibly promoted the Marine Captain to a Marine Vice Admiral. As a result, many things were ruined by this Vice Admiral.
At this moment.
Sabaody Archipelago.
An unworthy Vice Admiral was participating in a slave auction.
Originally, this slave auction house was owned by Doflamingo. But after Doflamingo joined the Akatsuki Organization, he immediately dealt with this auction house.
As a result…
This slave auction house was rebuilt by others.
Right now, this slave auction house was holding a large-scale auction. The pirate after being sold has been taken away, leaving only a strong old man…
This old man seems to be unable to be sold…
In order to not let himself suffer a loss, the person in charge of the slave auction house finally began to promote, “500,000 Beli, 500,000 Beli, a strong man, although old, his body is very healthy. At least he can work for you for 20 years, at that time you can dispose of him at will!”
When he said this, the person in charge of the auction house pushed the old slave up and showed the slave’s body.
It looked like…
It was indeed very healthy.
Uehara yawned, looked at the old man with shining eyes, and shouted out, “I want this person.”
Bang!
The auction hammer fell.
The person in charge seemed to be afraid that Uehara would go back on his word.
Uehara spent 500,000 Beli to buy an old slave, and by the way, there was a remote control that controls the slave’s collar.
It was a bit of a loss.
If you thought about it carefully. Using 500,000 Beli to buy the vice-captain of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh, as a slave. This was a bloody profit.
If you had the power to subdue him…
That’s right.
This old man was “Dark King” Rayleigh.
Whenever Rayleigh had no money to drink, he would sell himself to the slave market and let the people in the slave market sell him off. When he was sold, Rayleigh would tear off his collar, letting the people who bought him lose a sum of money.
This was also life…
Ever since Rayleigh retired, he had been living like this. Countless people had been cheated by him, but there was no way to make it public.
After all, someone who buys an ordinary old man slave doesn’t seem like a powerful noble no matter how you think, because the really rich and powerful people directly buy a mermaid…
Outside the slave auction house.
Uehara finally meets “Dark King” Rayleigh.
This slave that he had spent five hundred thousand on.
The current Rayleigh was still strong, wearing glasses, and a gentle smile on his face, as if he was really just an ordinary old man.
Rayleigh looked at Uehara, and his smile was getting deeper and deeper.
As the Vice Admiral stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago recently. Uehara was also equivalent to Sabaody Archipelago’s highest officer in name, so Rayleigh know Uehara.
Rayleigh not only knew Uehara.
Rayleigh also learned some things about Uehara from Shakky. For example, this Vice Admiral was once captured by Red Hair Pirates…
Moreover, he was captured twice in a row, and the interval was no more than five days…
The first time was when Red Hair Pirates rushed to Enies Lobby. They captured Uehara and wanted to use him as a hostage to exchange for Fire Fist Ace. As a result, Red Hair Pirates fell and Uehara survived safely…
The second time was after the incident with Enies Lobby. Uehara escorted the Red Hair Pirates prisoners to Impel Down but met the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates led by Benn Beckman. He also survived safely…
No…
It should be said that Uehara’s luck was good.
After all, he was able to survive two times in facing Yonko(Four Emperors) Pirate Group. This Vice Admiral was really lucky!
In Rayleigh’s opinion, if Uehara was able to make Shanks and Benn Beckman let him off one after another. Then it must be that Uehara had some merits, or Uehara was a complete idiot. Killing him would just dirty their hands!
Anyway…
This Vice Admiral really made the Marine lose face.
It was probably because of this that Uehara was sent to Sabaody Archipelago to be the nanny of the Celestial Dragons who was wandering here from time to time…
Since Shanks has let Uehara go…
Rayleigh felt that there was no need for him to do too much.
According to the way this Vice Admiral went to the slave auction house, the possibility of him being an idiot Vice Admiral was higher, so it doesn’t matter…
Moreover, such an idiot Vice Admiral was stationed in Sabaody Archipelago. It was impossible to harm those supernovas that had appeared this year. Those were the new generation of pirates created by Gold D. Roger…
Rayleigh reached out to take off the collar on his neck and looked at Uehara with a smile, “Five hundred thousand is not a small number… Losing this money, little guy, your luck is really not very good!”
“This…”
A hint of astonishment appeared on Uehara’s face as he watched in disbelief as Rayleigh easily removed the slave collar, “How can you remove the collar?”
In the next moment, Uehara’s face suddenly turned ferocious, “You are a slave I bought with 500,000 Beli!”
“…”
There was a subtle look in Rayleigh’s eyes.
Could this Uehara not recognize his situation? A person who could easily remove the slave collar was not a normal person, right?
Now it could be confirmed that Uehara was definitely an idiot.
